Trying For a Baby part 4

becs

Morning everyone or rather afternoon!
Lildevil I really sympathise my af has been the [STRIKE]b[/STRIKE]witch from hell this cycle! I normally am quite heavy flow with cramping on cd1 but af started full on tuesday lunchtime and tuesday night at 3.00am I awoke in absoloute agony, crying with the pain. Had to get up and try and find wheat pillow and painkillers! It has not been a good one what with having got my hopes up because of being 3 days late which hasn't happened in 2 and a half years of trying!
Anyway as you say I've stocked the booze cupboard up for xmas and intend to make full use of it for a change! Don't normally drink but will make an exception this xmas!

I just did a Frist Response test and got a BFN.

It's prob still to early for me, but I'm still getting weird brownish spotting

Be patient MV you need to wait full 14 days after ov:o

Thanks Quaver..I know it was too early. It's just that we are having a big Christmas get together/meal tonight with our friends, and I'm in a quandry again about whether I should lay off the booze. If I'd had even a sniff that I may be preggers I'd not touch a drop, but I'm feeling defiant now and so prob will have a couple.

OH is having a booze free one tonight, so he is designated driver..win!:beer:

Feeling a bit more cheerful, was just trying to decide what to wear this evening, and pulled out a little sparkly red dress in size 8 (!!) that I used to wear in my early 20's, and blow me..it still fits!!!!..not quite as well as when I was 25 mind, but not bad for an oldish bird!

Thanks hun, been trying to click the thanks buttons but I keep getting a message saying I don't have permission

I have adenomyosis (similar to endometriosis) so tend to have much worse than 'normal' af. It's so bad I've had to resort to painkillers as well as the 2 hot water bottles (painkillers make me woozy and consitpated so don't like to take them). I'm a bit scared to eat too as I've already 'been to the loo' twice so far today deffo staying away from the cheese :rolleyes: as I'll be up all night! This may (or may not) be why it seems to be taking forever to get pg (3 years it took to get my bean, but sadly it wasn't sticky).

MMC says I'm due to ov on New Years Day, so guess what I'll be up to :rotfl:

I am looking forward to the several large drinks I'll be having - I've got a bottle of champagne and a bottle of wine in the cupboard and DH came home with a bottle as well - Xmas pressie from one of the people on his round (he's a postie).

Ah Lildevil you do have a rough time of it! You've given me hope though that it took you 3 years to get a bfp. We're on 2 years 8 months now and it's hard to keep the hope sometimes. I do have a friend though that tried for over 5 years with not a hint of a bfp until she got pg with her little boy who is now 5!
I'm not using my cbfm this month, going to take a break from it over xmas (mainly because I only have 1 set of sticks left and I want to use them next month when I can have reflexology again, too tight to buy anymore at the mo!) Think I will be CD16 new years eve which is usually around ov time. Also dh is having his little swimmers tested on New Years Eve so I'm hoping it'll be sods law that he finally has his test and we get pg this cycle and it will be a fab start to the new year!
Here's hoping for a New Year Sticky bean for you LilDevil!

Hi all

Haven't been around much was starting to get obsessed with ttc and decided it's too early for that (only our first month). Also had a big wobble about the gravity and life changingness of it all!

Can you tell me how many days PO I need to be to test? FF is saying I ovulated on CD 17 which was 14th dec so I think I'm prob ok to test 24th as i originally said. AF is due then anyway though ov'd v late so no idea!

I'd test on the 14th day, but some can detect pg as early as 6 days before AF due date.

Got egg white cm at last:shocked: Will it last 'till tonight? I may have missed the boat this cycle.:undecided
BDd yesterday with condom, as I didn't want his old alcoholic swimmers...

MERFE

morning, sorry quaver dont know the answer. DTD last night and if I'm on a similar cycle to you lets hope it was enough.

Becs it took me 3 years to get a BFP with my first, it can take alot longer for some people, it only happened for me when I forgot about it and had no other stress. Which means I shouldnt hold out too much hope for this month as been very stressed lately, we'll see.


Should be due 8th jan so when to test? Maybe on the monday 11th unless I feel something or AF comes first.
