Dear Boodleboot, that sounds absolutely pants. Not surprised you feel so sad and angry. (Just scrolled back and saw some earlier posts, can see you have had a real time of it). Hope things look a bit brighter soon.

I caved and POAS this morning, as NEVER late with a period. But a BFN. BUT no sign of period. Almost want it to come so I can start focusing on next cycle.

Hope some more positive stuff elsewehere .

ah boodle you really aren't spared anything! Sending a big virtual hug and lots of cyberchocolate your way.

jollster is this your first cycle after the MMC? I mean as in, have you not had a period since? We call this the WTF-cycle on here because it is so completely unpredictable. apples for instance had to wait 65 days for AF to arrive. TFLS on the other hand was surprised by her early visit (if I remember correctly). I was doing pg tests - and then it turned out I hadn't even ovulated yet. There is really no way to tell!
Still. A late period is a late period, and who knows what it means? My fingers are crossed for you.

chamois I take it that no news is not good news in this instance. Very sad for you (and still hoping that perhaps everything is alright and there is a very mundane reason for you not posting)

Yesterday I thought: How predictable. DP leaves on short notice, and I get a temp surge on CD26.
But then it dropped again, first a little, then a lot - so, clearly, have not ovulated.
DP is coming home today. I don't assume I'll still ovulate this cycle, but who knows? And if I do, we'll be ready for it :-)
If I don't, I hope AF arrives soon so that we can start a new cycle. I mean, I was only pregnant for five weeks. How can this still be messing up my cycle, four months or so later?

Hi Meita, no I have had a period in between; scan was August 24, ERPC August 26, LMP September 26 (though it was a shorter/lighter one than usual).

Life's a bit WTF in all aspects at the mo!!!!

What is SO interesting though is how all our bodies and cycles are so different, and though there may be some trends and similarities there is a hell of a lot of blimeyO'reilly differences!

BFN. No AF yet. Boodle, sorry you are having such a hard time.

Oh boodle, that's just crap luck! I'm really sorry hun, that's a tough situation to have to deal with after your ectopic Well, we'll be thinking about you. I would say seek out some relaxation or calming exercise to help you cope. It's really easy to get wound up and stressed out with your current situation and that's no good for ttc! I've been looking into acupuncture, but have yet to schedule and appt...

Welcome bubba,growing& jollster! Glad you found us and hope you stick around to be added to our list of grads at sometime in the hopefully not-to-distant future.

Speaking of grads - where are you Mrs R? Also chamois - hope all is well.

That's more crap about not ov, meita, especially with what you mentioned previously - that there's this idea that you're supposed to be more fertile after a mc - WTF! Fingers crossed for you next month! Fingers crossed this month for you also apples and tfls.
Cheepz - lol at your air hostess outfit comment - have you decided yet? Then you could also use it as a Halloween costume.

Well, dh and I were on the every other day schedule this month and I'm sure hoping our hard work pays off. I don't want to get excited, so I keep telling myself "probably not this month", but then I think what about the power of positive thought? Can you think yourself pregnant?

Hi all, still here, still reading, not much to report. Lots going on at home, most of it not good but not to do with bean. Was offered an early scan due to bleeding but as mad as it sounds have said no for now, I don't want them to say 'oh we're not sure, come back in 2 weeks' as that wait is just awful. Am 8 weeks this week if all is OK so might take them up on the offer soon. Still feeling very scared about the whole thing
Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you who are yet to graduate - I'm sorry I'm not the cheery inspiration I wish I was! x

Hi chamois, so glad to hear from you. Sorry it sounds like tough going at home, hope things are better all around for you soon. Hoping that little bean is just fine too - hang in there - both of you!!!

hello all...

have finished giving up now....

great news...i'm ovulating. i felt it and thank god for TOni Weshchlers book because i have been able to identify lots of different markers this month. the sharp stabbing pain that i felt yesterday on my right side was the egg breaking through the follicle....how amazing is that CM changes exactly as she has described (and given pictures of!!) in the book. i am very much in awe of my body at the moment....what an amazing capapcity to bounceback eh!

after the crappy luck we have had this week with other peoples pregancy news etc I asked DH to relent and at least not make me prevent preg....i think we are onto a winner here!! Going to DTD to night and hopefully fertilise this egg! CD12 today which fits with my OV time from the last preg.

welcome to the new girls....hope this is a lucky month for all of us....

hey boodle that's a very Tigger message.
Good for you. Sending you much much MUCH luck.

Still no sign of witch here but am NOT NOT NOT going to do any more tests... until the weekend at least.

Yay boodle! Splendid news!!!

Ladies,

I just recorded the highest basal temperature since the 21st August (towards the end of my WTF-cycle).

Yesterday the OPK gave me the strongest second line I've seen yet.

Ladies, I could be ovulating!!!

boodle that sounds about right to me :-)

chamois fingers and toes and everything (except legs ) crossed for you and your bean.

Hi all,

Oh boodle you are our bounce back girl! . So pleased to hear you're trying (or not, not trying IYKWIM). Hope you've worked through your ex's news OK - that must have been so painful. Your ex gets the tosser prize for lousy timing! Great sign that your body has recovered so quickly - must be a sign that you're healing well.

meita please please tell me that DP is back from Berlin! [TFLS has mental picture of meita booking urgent flight whatever the cost and DP trying to explain that on expenses!]

apples - what news from you?

Welcome jollster - sorry to hear about your MMC but lovely to have you on board. I'm coming up to 41 at the end of this year so know that feeling only too well.

cheepz did you invest in the Britney Spears air hostess outfit? I suspect it is more effective and far cheaper than a CBFM!

chamois - hope things are a bit calmer for you at home now. Completely understand why you haven't gone for a test yet. Hope you and your little bean are doing well and loads of love.

Think AF is arriving here but not sure . Why is nothing ever straight forward in this game? [fed up that the rules aren't clear face] Very minor spotting but temp still up - I do have a bit of a virus so that could be masking a temp drop. I'm on day 29 but since m/c had 24 day cycles so the WTF continues.... oh joy.

Duhhh - just reread properly and seen that your DP should be back meita. I think a long lunch break is needed!

thanks for your support girls. its funny you know because my nickname from just about all my friends is Tigger....every the optimist ha. i so so so so so hope we get some BFP's this month. you are the only people that i can face getting pregnant and feel no jealousy....

We won't for sure from me tho as i have decided to give it one more month just to be on safe side - i couldn't bear poor DH's face when i suggested early night and realised just how stressful this is for him too.....4 more weeks won't hurt...

chamois we are so due a sticky bean or two and i really believe yours is....be positive and send your baby lots of loving thoughts and cuddles......

hey ladies, Can I join your thread please?!
I had a MC on Aug BH at 14 weeks!
BUT AF finally arrived today so here we go again! [anticipationsmiley]

So I'm TTC#2 UCL31 cycle 1 CD1

My attendance will probably be somewhat sporadic so apologies due to the DH shift work I don't tend to use computer when he's here!
But I'm generally lurking about somewhere and will catch up!!

hello!
evil witch arrived last night
so
Jollster TTC#2 Cycle 2 (after MMC Aug) UCL 26-33?! CD2

my cycle was always SO regular at 28, started going a bit shorter at 26, and I guess a MC messes you up more than you think as this month was 33...

had hoped to cash in on the "you're very fertile after MC" urban myth.... think it's just spread to make you feel better .

though... note to self.... need to have more sex to make baby... doh!

hello CakeandFineWine... am very new here myself, so a bit cheeky welcoming you! But good luck, and prove me wrong about the urban myth

DS is stirring, better dash. Tarra.

AF came this morning on day 26 so my cycle is officially up the spout. I've got some ovulation kits for next time so here we go again.

Hello ladies,
welcome cake. I'm sorry about your MC. At 14 weeks, that must have been traumatising. Still, I'm glad you found us - nice bunch of peeps here.

Oh jollster I'd been thinking you would be one of those lucky women who join us here just to graduate immediately. Sorry about AF arriving. Although we're all used to it and expecting it, it can still be quite a setback. Your UCL might still normalise itself, after all it's still pretty soon since the MMC.

tigger yeah, those MCs can so mess up our cycles! I hope the OPKs work for you.

AF must have employed assistants - she's three places at the same time!

So to make up for AF's busy life, I'm strongly expecting a wave of BFPs on here! Apples, TFLS, BB ... I'm counting on you!

boodle I think you're right. At the end of the day we're in it together, our DH/DP and us, and it needs to be right for both. I've also been thinking, you know, on pregnancyloss.info for example a FAQ is: "why is my DH not as upset as I am?" and a suggested answer is "Because only one of you can fall apart at a time". So I think in many cases our DH/DP are strong for us when we MC, because we need them to be. But that doesn't mean it doesn't affect them strongly. So maybe we need to accept that sometimes, once we have recovered and are ready to TTC again, they are not yet. While we have been working through our issues, they have been "strong" for us - now we need to give them some time to catch up. Well I'm sure this is not true for everyone but it might be true for some!
boodle, indeed our bounce-back girl. I'm so glad you're feeling so much better.

cheepz getting down to business?

chamo you're ever in my thoughts. Everything crossed for you (legs too, now).

me well temps have stayed reasonably high but I'm not convinced I've indeed ovulated. I mean, for one thing it would have been really, really late - to ovulate on CD28? That's not exactly to be expected. Well if I did, and if I actually conceived, calculations based on LMP (?) would be waaaay off. Second, while they are much higher than earlier this cycle, they are still not quite as high as usually in the luteal phase. Whilst FF is saying I ovulated, MyNFP is still hesitating. Third, last cycle which was anovulatory, there was a similar sharp rise - temps turning much higher than previously but not as high as usually in LP. But AF arrived 6 days later so that can't have been ovulation.
So, overall, I'm thinking it's possible I ovulated - in which case we have a reasonable chance and I'll start getting nervous in 10 days. Or it is also possible that AF will arrive any day now. Well, we'll just have to wait and see!

4th AF here. Blimey she is busy! I'm quite relieved (sounds funny to be writing that) but she appeared late and I had 3 days of spotting so I was worried that IF I was pregnant, something was already wrong. Didn't stop me wasting a test yesterday to get a BFN but at least I found that reassuring in a funny kind of way [TFLS hopes everyone doesn't think she has lost the plot...]

Seems quite a few of us are experiencing cycles all over the place. I used to be a regular 28 day girl but dropped to 24 days post m/c and suddenly a 30 day cycle. I'm taking it as a good sign that my cycle is trying to correct itself (well that's my positive spin on what the hell is going on!)

meita - that is such a helpful quote. Thank you for posting that. I'm sure there is a lot of truth in it. I do feel it's time your body gave you some more obvious clues - talk about wait and see!

Welcome CakeandFineWine - lovely to have you on board. So sorry to hear about your loss, 14 weeks must have been so tough. It is funny how you can finally be pleased to see AF and have some semblance of returning to normal! Love your name by the way.

boodle - that sounds like a really fair compromise. I guess your gut instinct will tell you when the time is right for you both. Roll on next month!

RomanCandleJollster and tigger - here's hoping AF flies by and onwards and upwards for next month. Hey it will be my first attempt with preseed so should be interesting

week from hell at work

hello ladies

CBFM means that since I have not yet had a high let alone peak I have not had to have sex yet this cycle

CM today just starting to turn so its off to La Senza tomorrow to spice things up for the weekend 14th and 15th CD on the weekend is a plus

Downer is my SIL had 2nd DS today and I am jealous - her first is 6 months younger than mine, so she has had a whole nother pregnncy before I have managed to get and stay pregnant not very charitable of me is it...

boodle you are an inspiration xx

[wherforeartthou] apples

hello new folk - welcom and sorry to see you but glad to have you

right bathtime for DS so best crack on.. ciao

you know, I'm in awe but also very daunted at the focus and temping and checking and recording and agonising that goes on..... when all I'm doing at the moment is chomping any chocolate I can find... . Mind you that's what periods and sad times are all about huh...? (Oh and watching Peter Andre...
Just cos it's on, not in any pervy way!)

cheepz know exactly what you mean about other babies' arrivals .... hope you're doing ok...

peter andre is hot hot hot - just so long as he keeps his mouth shut
