Thought as there was 955 messages on our old thread that we should have a new one again, its very annoying scrolling down to the bottom.

{grin}

Welcome to our new thread girls.

Should we put our stats again???
saves us thread hopping, and we have had newbies.
I will try and copy some from the old thread.

Maddy- Best of luck hun!!!!! Really hope it's bfp! You still testing around 7.30? Ohhhhh I'm all nervous for you lol
Humphreys- I had alot of cramps after mc too. Not sure what they are. So much so, constantly running off to check if I'd "come on". How are you otherwise?
Here's to a sunny happy happy joy joy day with millions of positive vibes sent to Maddy.

Sorry Girlies was a bfn. Not that i expected a bfp. Mind you my gums were bleeding this morning which is a sign for me. Saying that im only 8 dpo so still a chance, but i doubt it. Think ill start a thread a see if anyone has used these early e bay tests and if anyone actually got a postotive result.

Last night i watched desperate Midwifes and everytime a baby was born i cried. Why on earth did i watch it any one else do this or am i the only nutter.

HellKat · 28/06/2005 08:03

{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} aww babe!!
As you said, still very early. Weird about the gum thing. Whehn I'm pg, my gums get very tender. Then the rest kicks in lol. When are you going to try testing again? What about 10 dpo?

HellKat · 28/06/2005 08:09

*when.
No Maddy did'nt watch it. But I'm a sucker for the birthing programmes on Living.

maddyd · 28/06/2005 08:15

It was on last night after Little Angels. On BBC3. We got freeview.

Yes ill do 10 day dpo and then leave it. So ill do thurs or Fri.

So your af will be finishing soon Hellkat. Are you just going for it or are you charting too?

HellKat · 28/06/2005 08:28

Just going for it as always. Seems to work for me but will be using ov kits too.

maddyd · 28/06/2005 08:44

Think i will use those next month too so i def know if ovulated. Wht day are you meant to start using them CD1????

HellKat · 28/06/2005 08:55

No idea lol havent read through it yet. Lost when it comes to dates etc. Just normally go by bodily changes here as each month is different to the next.

LunarSea · 28/06/2005 09:59

They say on the instructions when to start using them - it depends upon the length of your cycle. It's day 9 if your cycle is between 26 and 29 days IIRC - about day 5 according to the instructions for me as I mostly have short cycles but in practice I know they don't give me a +ve until about day 12/13 of 21/22.

I've been doing this ttc lark for so long now (since '96 ) that I think I've tried every method going - ov kits, cm, little telescope/microscope thing, charting... Am so paranoid about it that I usually end up doing all of them together! Not that it's done me much good, as in all that time I've only conceived 3 times (and m/c 2 of them).

maddyd · 28/06/2005 10:03

Oh Lunar how awfull for you. Are you on medication too as Chlomid or something. The pain and waiting each month is tremendous isnt it.

Good Luck Honey. Where are you in your cycle at the Mo?

LunarSea · 28/06/2005 10:11

maddyd - no doc says that 3 conceptions in that time is proof that there's nothing wrong. See my other thread about it . I think I need to see if I can find out if any of the other GP's in the practice have an interest in fertility issues, or even change practice if necessary, as I'm not sure that this one really knows what he's talking about. But I can't do it yet as I'm still waiting for results of blood tests after the last m/c which was apparently so atypical (for which read no warning, then sudden instant bloodbath!) that it merits investigation despite not being part of an uniterrupted sequence.

maddyd · 28/06/2005 11:00

So when will you investigate. Do you have to wait to see if it happens again??? God Forbid it should

LunarSea · 28/06/2005 11:23

Maddy - I'm just waiting now for the results from the blood tests (14 of them!) to see where we go next which will probably be another month - goodness knows what they do which takes so long.

Depending upon whether they show anything which might explain it or not will probably affect what would happen if there is a next time (presumbly in terms of terms of extra monitoring/testing/scans or whatever), although I suppose it's possible that they could come back and say that there's something which means that trying again isn't advisable.

Best case I suppose is that they either find something which can be managed to reduce the risk, or find nothing and leave it as unexplained.

Then it's back to trying to trying to get a referral or some kind of treatment. Ironically just another 4 months of not conceiving would have got us a referral as 3 years of no success post ds would have been investigated for the possibility of being secondary infertility. In some ways we're worse than back to square one now as that has been ruled out.

I wish they would let us try the clomid - it's hardly an expensive/high tech treatment, it's specifically indicated for luteul phase problems and everyone else seems to be able to get it for general unexplained failure to conceive after about 6 months, so I don't know why I seem to be banging my head against such a brick wall trying to persuade docs to do anything apart from telling us to go away and keep trying.

Oh well - enough ranting, I ought to be working - oops!

spacecadet · 28/06/2005 12:47

hi everyone scan went great, have a little nean measuring 6weeks 6 days

maddyd · 28/06/2005 12:52

Lunar ask them straight out why they wont prescribe it for you. its awfull what your going through. I hope you get some posotive information soon. Take Care xxxx

Spacecadet you are so lucky to fall agiain so quickly im very but in a nice way. Go away and come back when your full of sickness, puffy ankles and all hot and cumbersome. Only joking, you take care and rest.

spacecadet · 28/06/2005 12:55

im already full of sickness maddyd, and i was fat anyway before i fell preg!

spacecadet · 28/06/2005 12:55

i meant to put bean, not mean!

maddyd · 28/06/2005 13:10

or nean

spacecadet · 28/06/2005 15:27

doh!!!!!!

spacecadet · 28/06/2005 15:27

and derrrrrrrrr

cori · 28/06/2005 16:36

Hi everyone,
Af due today but so far no sign of it.
Dh and I werent offcially trying last month but werent being too careful either. Did BD around time of ovulation. Starting to get a bit anxious now.

spacecadet · 28/06/2005 17:42

not tempted to test then?

HumphreysCorner · 28/06/2005 18:03

Hi all

Well, everything is hunky dory here but still no AF-I'm sure I can't be PG as we've only 'done it' twice since the bleeding stopped. I'm actually getting quite excited again and looking forward to all the testing (but NOT all the BFN's).

Maddyd-I used the EBay sticks but only on the day I was due on and it was a very dark red line-I would have tested before but they only arrived on that day but I do think they would have shown a positive faint line several days before. Good luck {{x}}

Spacecadet- Bet you are over the moon {{x}}

LunarSea-Glad to see you back-Try and stay positive my sweet {{x}}

Ah-2 days off work now so full of the joys of summer and I only had soup for my lunch so have finally had less points today than normal-got to be good news.

Right-got some things I must sell on EBay so catch you all later!

Hugs
x

PS Thank god for the preview message box as my typing is crap, especially when I'm having a glass of wine at the same time

cori · 28/06/2005 19:10

I already have tested but, it was negative. Just read on fertility friend that it common to get false negative before 13 DPO. I am currently at day 11.
I also have had some spotting which FF interepts as possible implantation bleed.

Tabs · 28/06/2005 21:34

Ooh Cori - sound promising. You only start producing hcg after implantation, so if you've just got the spotting now then I'd leave it a couple more days and then test.
