zippys · 15/09/2009 12:03

Hope this is a good pain this time round

I am also going on a girls night out on sat but I can always use my meds as an excuse not to drink, (finger and toes and everything else crossed that we need a reason not to drink!!

We must look like a right bunch with jiggling of boobs.

CJ I hope that is an implantation drop on your chart, I know mother nature is so cruel making us wait 2 weeks!!!

zippys · 15/09/2009 12:05

oop forgot to say fulhamgirl that I would test but hey I am addicted and then I could use it as an excuse to test too!!!

sevans · 15/09/2009 15:02

Hi ImmaterialGirl! All is well for me and no real news. I had some light spotting yesterday. I've actually had several days of light spotting spread out over the past 83 days of this cycle. 83 days--goodness, I was never expecting my first cycle off the pill to take this long although I was expecting it to be a little longer since I was somewhat irregular before. The plan is to go see the doctor at the very beginning of October because that would have given me three months of trying (July, Aug, Sept). I haven't taken a test in several weeks and will probably take one a few days before I go to the doctor incase I have to cancel the appointment due to a pregnancy...wishful thinking!!!

Did you decide whether or not to do a test before you leave?

pixiestix · 15/09/2009 15:21

Hi everyone, thanks for the welcomes and for adding me to the list

Sevans, I can't believe you are on day 83 - I thought the two week wait was agonising. I would be a basket case at this point I think.
Hope that the next two weeks fly by and you get some positive feedback from the doctor.

ImmaterialGirl · 15/09/2009 15:48

I think I'm going to test tomorrow morning actually. Although I really don't think anything will come of it. Too early. Just because I want to and am a poas anon really

OP posts:
CJ2007 · 15/09/2009 16:23

Good luck for tomorrow immaterial

zippys · 15/09/2009 17:47

echo that, good luck for tomorrow, immaterial

There is nothing wrong with being a poas anon

Have you tested yet fulhamgirl really hoping for some gratuates soon

claireinthecommunity · 15/09/2009 19:58

Hello all

A warm welcome to pixiestix

Lol at all the boob jiggling that's been going on

So, we're coming up to another batch of testing around the weekend - good luck and best wishes to you all.

I'm rapidly approaching my 2ww. I hope DH and I have put enough effort in this month, we've certainly tried our best

ImmaterialGirl · 15/09/2009 21:08

Just had some spotting... Hmmm, never really had that before.

If it is implantation spotting though, my whole testing-tomorrow plan is pretty much pointless, right?

Of course, it's more likely that it's just an early AF...

Argh! Hate this not-knowing-what-is-going-on business!!

OP posts:
CJ2007 · 15/09/2009 21:24

Ooooh keeping everything crossed for you immaterial

ImmaterialGirl · 15/09/2009 21:28

Thanks CJ

Just dawned on me that it is a little bizarre, isn't it, that I'm finding myself in a situation where posting about the contents of my knickers to a bunch of people on the internet is a totally natural and exciting thing to do!

Lots of love to you all!

OP posts:
CJ2007 · 15/09/2009 21:34

Made me giggle!!! Totally true of course!

fotheringhay · 15/09/2009 21:39

Hi everyone, I'd love to join you all. I was on the May bus, then AF got me and since then I've been trying not to think about it too much.

That's failed, so thought I'd "go public" again. My stats are TTC#1 cycle 3 UCL 28? CD20

I know it's too early to say but I just don't feel pregnant this time. I can totally relate to hating the not-knowing-what's-going-on business...

Do I have a beansprout inside or not?!?

ImmaterialGirl · 15/09/2009 22:09

fotheringhay Welcome!!

Yep, it's difficult isn't it? I was the same when AF got me, had to take some time off. Then during the 2WW you creep back, getting increasingly excited...

Will you be joining us in poas anon and testing this week(end)?

Evening Girlies

Need to update list as im on day 4, AF hit saturday night. AF starting to ease off, yey! Have been looking into chemical pregnancies and if there is anything to stop them, which there isnt, but lots of people have reccomended vitamin B6 and baby Aspirin, so off to boots on thursday to get some. Not sure if it will work but its worth trying. Have decided to now test at 35 days, instead of 45 like I first said. I think your right that if its going to happen again its best to know, so we can advise a GP is we need too, which fingers crossed we wont.

1 more day of work and then 2 wonderful days off. Whooo

Ozziegirly · 16/09/2009 02:14

Is a chemical pregnancy when you have a fertilised egg, but then it doesn't implant for some reason?

I guess there could be so many reasons for it. The human body seems pretty good at weeding out any pregnancies that are less likely to go the distance, and in a way I guess it is better to end a pregnancy right at the start rather than have a miscarriage later, or god forbid find out that something is wrong and then have to take that terrible decision as to whether to keep the baby.

Sorry, horridly morbid.

I shall go back to talking about my boobs, which seem still a bit fuller today, but I wonder if it's just normal PMT symptoms really. I have a few spots as well, but I had a facial on Saturday so that would probably cause them anyway.

sigh. Getting pregnant is harder than I expected, I can't believe I faffed around with the pill for so long!

My mum, in a moment of way too much sharing, told me that it took one attempt to get pregnant with me (shudder at the horrific thought of parents at it), and I guess I hoped I would take after her.

zippys · 16/09/2009 08:19

Morning everyone

Has anyone tested this morning? Fingers crossed for some good news.

Welcome fotheringhay, I know it is so hard not to think about it the 2ww seems to take over your life!!

Ozzie I know what you mean, I came off the pill in May and event though I know it will take me longer to conceive I thought it may have happened by now I dont actually know how long it took my mum to get pg but at the moment dont want to tell anyone we are trying. It is a bit gross though thinking of my parents at it!

Imma I know what you mean discussing CM, my knicker contents, and boob jiggling has never felt so natural but so bizare when you think about! If only my dp knew what we talked about Lets just hope your spotting is good news. Are you going to test today?

Claire glad to heear that you have been enjoying yourself when will you be testing?

lady I was reading on another website that if you get 3 chemical pregnancies then you should go to the GP so I agree are hard as it will be to deal with the dissapointment I think oyu should test earlier - lets just hope the next one sticks.

I feel sick this morning but again dont know if it is in my head (or my cooking from last night ), or my meds!! Have decided that if no AF by Friday then I will buy a couple of tests on Friday night on my way home from work, then I know if I can drink on Saturday night! The question is can I hold out till then The poas anon in me is not so sure.

zippys · 16/09/2009 08:22

sorry everyone just notice a whole load of typos in that last message

ImmaterialGirl · 16/09/2009 08:56

Morning all,

Well I did test, and it was BFN. I don't actually feel particularly upset by this, more like: well, duh! It's five days early! What did you think it was going to be?

I think I tested mainly as we're going away this evening to my parents, they live far away so we'll be seeing loads of family and there will be loads of drinking I'm sure, and I thought I might as well be responsible...

I won't bring any tests (cold turkey! argh!), so either I'll get my period as expected on Sunday, or I'll test again when we get home on Monday eve...

Anyone heard from bluesnow recently? Any news?

Morning guys!!

Yep I tested yesterday and got a BFN but then im only on cd 24 my lst cycle lasted 32 days so I think I tested far to early!!

No spotting at all just bad CM sorry guys.

Bad tummy pains still and still feeling quite sick as well. Im more worrried about the pains I keep getting and I havent been sleeping properly either getting to hot!!!

Really hoping AF is not on its way as im getting them symtoms.

Anyone else tested at all?

xxxxxxxxx

kkas · 16/09/2009 10:01

Morning fulham and imma sorry to hear about BFNs, but I think you guys tested too early. Let us know if you test again though, fingers crossed!

zippys · 16/09/2009 10:22

Sorry to hear about BFN's , like kkas has said it could just be because you have tested too soon. (fingers crossed)

Good luck on going cold turkey imma at least if you are away your mind may be occupied! Hope you have a lovely weekend away.

fulham I hope you feel better soon.

Fingers (and toes and anything else) crossed for those testing soon

Ladyemmalou83 · 16/09/2009 10:30

Ozzi Yep a chemical pregnancy is where it doesnt implant, or implants but quickly the lining cant hold it and it breaks away, sometimes it implants but the egg has already died and you just have an empty sac. By taking B6 I should help my hormones a bit, and taking baby aspirin should help the lining be clot free and more easy to implant..... we'll see. DH and I have agreed straight to the quacks if we get a 3rd one. I always joked id be a 'infertile mertile' when I was younger just because AF was never regular. Hoping that joke isnt gonna come bite me on the arse.

Day 5 of AF so she should be pissing leaving soon, hopefully for 9 months or so, and DH I and I can get back to enjoying ourselves. Considering how bad last months CP AF was, this hasnt been too bad. A friend said I should POAS just to check, but as all symptoms went overnight I dont think i'll be doing that one.

Sorry about the BFN. Its hard not to resist taking too early. Fingers crossed they turn the lovely BFP soon for you all x
