So do i! im not sure how long to wait without af untill i got to the g.p? i have no pain anymore, no other symptoms ata ll except mood swings all over the shop! so its only the missing af thats the problem.

HandbagAddiction · 15/07/2005 13:17

Oh CP - so sorry to hear about the BFN and that your AF is still missing . Not entirely sure I can be of any help whatsoever but wanted to send you some hugs!

I think I've lost track of where everyone is - so please excuse me if this post all goes a bit vague...or blame it on my brain which normally by this time in the week has turned to mush!! Anyway...

Debbsy - sorry to hear that you're still going through a rough time with dh. Frustrating at the best of times..but even more so when you you actively need support and some physical contact.

Welcome to successful! Let's hope you will be!

Hello to everyone else - Bella, Hula, Milosmum, Harriezb, Jen, Jag, Elsdestgirl, Munz and the other BPF lurkers, WorriedBev..gosh have I missed anyone???

As for me - well I'm on cd22 today. Have lots of symptons that come and go but like Hula - these are pretty typical AF symptons too. Had a day 21 progesterone blood test yesterday at the hospital. Was half way out of the hospital before I realised that I was still bleeding....all down my arm, over the floor, my trousers, etc.! Nightmare! Will no doubt have to wait a week for so for the results.

Hope you're all planning nice weekends.xx

No, nothing yet. Am getting so impatient
Have AF pains on/off. Also feels like someone is sitting on my bladder and need to pee every hour or so. Hmmmmm...
Probably just my mind playing tricks on me

Dana · 15/07/2005 14:16

Sorry, wrong thread. Just lurking in here

JAG123 · 15/07/2005 15:24

Hello Successful I find if hard to keep up too! Good luck for this month.

CP Did you use the same type of pg test when you got the faint BFP as the last BFN?

Hi to everyone else glad its a little cooler here today.

charleepeters · 15/07/2005 17:48

Thanks for your hugs and thoughts everyone, still nothing to report.

JAG no i didnt use the same tests, i used the dipstick ones munz gave me with my bfp and the one where you get a pipet to drop 3 drops of urine into the right plce with the bfn, im sre it doesnt make much difference, - i spoke to my gp today and she apparently knows of women who were 10 days late before they got a deffo bfp, so you never know im not getting hopefull just waiting and seing.

hugs to all xxx

successful · 15/07/2005 18:08

Good Luck Charlee.

Milosmum - yes I now have to remember not to lurk and to post

Handbag Addiction - I named myself successful when talking about my IVF success it now seems inapropriate

JAG123 - still managing to keep up

Harrizeb - Hi to you

and Hula - yes addicted already

hello to everyone else to

JAG123 · 15/07/2005 18:13

CP Could still be good news then. Will keep my fingers crossed for you.

gingerbear · 15/07/2005 18:39

Being nosey and seeing how my old mate Hula is getting on, it must be so frustrating for you.
I hope you have some good news soon, a spring baby is lovely. Tell DH to get a move on!

Good luck to the rest of you too.

munz · 15/07/2005 19:46

cp - just wanna say quickly that the one's u used with the BFP (I sent you) have a 25mg sensitivity thingy so fairly sure they should be right

Jen1209 · 16/07/2005 08:06

Morning all! SOrry haven't been around for a few days, work has been terrible and I spent 12 hours in central London on Wednesday, fighting with the eye hospital and meetings - oh the joy!

CP - keeping everything crossed for you hon ((hugs))

Hi to everyone else too, cannot believe how much I have missed in 3 days!!!!

J xx

charleepeters · 16/07/2005 10:34

Morning everyone - still nothing to report, i will do another test next week, im not going to stress myself out doing one each day. i have v heavy and sore boobs today, they feel relly heavy and swollen

Hugs to all - charlee xxx

Debbsy · 16/07/2005 14:32

yay we managed to bd once in the allotted time thats it now as dh going for sperm analysis appoint on weds (we rang up and got an earlier appointment)bum on pillow trick so wish me luck ladies feel much happier now

Jen1209 · 16/07/2005 14:38

Hurrah Debs - pleased to hear you are happier xx

Debbsy · 16/07/2005 14:47

thanks jen xx

Debbsy · 17/07/2005 14:27

munz or anyone else please could you try and answer a couple of questions for me dh and i have just bd again as im still getting ewcm but it feels different inside like more intense sharper feeling but not painful is that something to do with the salp do you think? And also dh goes for his sperm analysis on weds will it make a difference as we bd yesterday and today will it still be ok panicking a bit now hes going weds morn at 11.30am we are abstaining now sorry ofr embarassing questions

munz · 17/07/2005 14:29

debs - don't worry I think DH's sperm had to be 'clean' so to speak ie no BD for 48 hrs b4 the tests, (or it might have been 3 days not sure but you'll be fine if you did it today but don't do it again till after the test on weds iycwim)
the lap - er can't quite remeber I did wait 48 hours b4 BD'ing again after the lap I think the first one was a bit uncomfortable but after that was fine. EWCM is good thou.

Debbsy · 17/07/2005 14:33

it was the salp dunno just feels different they told me leave it 24hrs and i would be ok but cos i did opk on fri morn and got a bright blue line we did bd naughty i know thanks for info your a star how are you feeling with your little bean xx

munz · 17/07/2005 14:35

np, good thanks bit sicky but nothing mega. hopefully it's your month this month -and CP's. wouldn't it be nice for u to all get BFP's and come to us on the march thread! - we'd be swomped!

charleepeters · 17/07/2005 21:04

I would love a MArch baby - my birthdays in march, and DS birthday id a couple of days before DP's so one close to my birthday would be nice to

i feel thoses pg tests staring at me but im holding out - i dont want another BFN so im being very strong and not giving into temptation, i have decided Wednesday seems a good day to test.

Hulababy · 17/07/2005 21:09

Milosmum ? did you get your book? I had forgotten I was away at weekend so mine was delivered Saturday ? and I wasn?t in! Have to go and get it tomorrow from PO.

Gingerbear ? LOL! It?s a pain. Knowing I CAN get pg doesn?t help either really as it makes me more frustrated. But, we will get there eventually.

Hope you get your BFP really soon CP.

CD26 here. Had AF type cramps yesterday and today, and felt a bit dodgy. Don't think the hayfever (got it bad near BIL's new house) and all that liftiing helping them moved helped; nor the copius amounts of wine afterwards!

Saw friend's 17 day old baby today. He is so lovely and sweet. Hoping the baby cuddles will have thrown some special sticky dust over me.

Hulababy · 17/07/2005 21:10

Hi munz; good to see you are doing well. And remember the sicky feeling is a great positive sign - means that allthe rigth hormones are there and working. That's what I kept in mind when I had horrid sickness with DD.

Harrizeb · 18/07/2005 09:01

Morning everyone,

CP fingers crossed for wednesday for you, and Debbsy hope things go well for this week, well done with the bum on pillow thing.

Hula I don't think we'll hear from MM for at least a week if she has her head stuck in her book, DH bought me a copy on saturday - the sweetheart and I have spent most of sunday with my head in it - page 260 so far and I'm really enjoying it. Even managed to get myself and DS organised and dressed quickly enough to get 20 minutes in before we needed to leave for work.

I'm on CD13 and had EWCM this morning, will see how much BD we can get in between now and the end of the week.

Take care everyone hope you're enjoying the sunshine,

H x

Bella23 · 18/07/2005 10:44

Morning all.
Just popping to in to check that everyone had a lovely weekend.
Well feeling very down again by the whole TTC thing now. We talked through things last night and DH is going to get his sperm analysed just so that we know if there are any problems in that area. He is a bit worried (as I think we both are)Weekend was filled with chatting to people telling us all about their new borns etc. One couple asked if we had decided not to have children.........very upsetting. Had an awful moment at a BBQ when I really wanted to weep as I just felt such a failure and am starting to really feel that it may never happen for us. I swear I have shelled out hundreds of pounds on baby gifts over the last year as literally everyone we know has had a baby.
Sorry to be so down, this is what TTC does to me, turns me into a horrible, self absorbed individual who feels very unfairly done to!!
Am on CD20 and I guarantee you that AF will show this weekend.
Sorry ladies, will get on with some work and snap myself out of this self pity state.
