Trying for a Baby Part Six

waitingforpost

Huge congrats to all the BFPs! :j
And dodgy hugs to all those the witch got :grouphug:

I know I don't ever really post but I have been reading everyday for several months (not that I'm obsessed or anything! )

Anyway, I'm on CD 31 (28). I started temping this month and it appears I ov'd later than usual, day 19 rather than day 14. So although I am late, I am only 12 dpo on this cycle, so wasn't really thinking anything of it.

I'm one of these people who can't resist PIAC, even if it's way too early (PIAC twice already this week ). I just had an overwhelming urge to PIAC this evening and I haven't been to the loo since lunch time so thought, why not?

So, I've just done a IC but I can't tell if there is a line there or not. Usually I can tell that the space is completely white but this time I'm not so sure?!

Exactly how faint are the lines mean to be on an IC? Can you tell that there is a line there if they are positive?

DH is freaking out a bit but says he can't see anything.
Going to do another IC in the morning and then maybe get a Superdrug test and/or digi in the morning, depending on whether the IC is still inconclusive!

Two questions, would you recommend buying the fertility monitor thingy (think its about £60) and what is the book that some of you have previously mentioned ??

Hi Monkey brain, the book is "What to Expect - Before you're expecting" by Heidi Murkoff.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Expect-Before-Youre-Expecting/dp/184737705X/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294522016&sr=1-5

I can really recommend it, I have learnt so much from reading it and still have tons to go through, I think it will help as the journey goes on as well.

As for a fertility monitor, im seriously considering it, I really want one, the CBFM looks so good, but I'm concerned my cycles aren't regular enough, seeing the doc on Tues so will ask their advice.

I'm sorry to hear that, if you have been off the pill for a year could you not try the doctors?

I have only had one AF since coming off the pill in September and that was about 55 days, I am now CD61!!!!!

I was thinking about going to the doctors after this next cycle if it's as long as I really don't think it's normal :mad:. Before I started the pill i used to go a couple of months with no AF but I never really realised it was a problem!

I'm going to test in the morning again just in case.x

Hi Charlie,
Yeah, Im going to the docs Tuesday, hoping there's nothing wrong, but also for a little bit of help.

Those do sounds like very long cycles, it may well have something to do with coming off the pill though, I know what you mean about before the pill though, I used to think it was a blessing if my cycles were long as it meant I didn't have to put up with AF so much :rotfl:
Lets hope we both settle down soon and get those BFP's! Good luck if you're going to test tomorrow hun.

welshpolarbear

Cara, I know what you mean, don't talk to anyone about it either and it is especially stragnge not talking to BF about it. Im like you too, thinking about getting that BFP all the time! Im sure our days will come.

Welcome Marie and Waitingforpost (though i know you've been here longer than me really! lol) nice to see lots of people joining to share the experiences with.

I sometimes get confused with ICs too waitingforpost
I would do another in the morning with FMU.

Well CD 29(28) and no sign of AF yet. She usually shows in the evening so I daren't get excited until at least tomorrow morning if she's still not here.

Thanks pinkpig and good luck for the morning! Fingers crossed for you x

Will read back properly in the morning
BUT oh's parents and sister kept making subtle hints about babies and me and oh hearing the pitter patter of tiny feet...... but we've told them we dont want babies for a few years yet which is a lie infact its a barefaced lie but it was getting too upsetting for me and oh was getting the tearful phonecalls off me after opening emails from his mum so our official party line is - who knows maybe in like 5 or so years and then a vague look and a handwave.....



will im on the subject of ohs parents got a lovely new years email and I think theyve taken the baby hint and have now gone back to the wedding focus with maybe this year we'll have a wedding to plan :rotfl:

I havent replied because apparently telling his mum to do one isnt nice :rotfl:

his parents are amusing me at the moment :S tis all a bit bizarre but for anyone who can remember the ongoing proposal saga - still no proposal lol ..... official line on that is why bother its only a piece of paper.....

QQ :grouphug:
Was looking at the list the other day which im still not on 'cause we still not officially ttc because that would be far too scary apparently but leaving to fate - piac daily for ov- and trying to time visits to match up with predicting ov isnt scary at all so we still calling it leaving it to fate *can you tell im starting to get frustrated over it lol*
But anyhoo back to looking at the list - I think you and a few others definately deserve your bfps this year

had a little break from here and while I love that so many have got bfps Im secretly daunted by the lack of people I dont know but who know each other :O
I was only gone for a month or so *slightly selfishly got my head in a bad place when realised this cycle was a no go completely
Annnnyyyyhoooooo maybe this month who knows not like we've picked names, bedroom decor, godparents etc because obviously we wouldnt do that if we were just leaving it to fate im laughing on here about it but inside im crying

Phunkles your post brought a tear to my eye. I have to take a step back from here every now & then for the same reason as you - I bet we all do, even if it's only for a couple of days or so while we get our heads sorted out. I hope you're OK xxx

Got all excited as no AF when I woke up, rushed to do a test - BFN But I keep telling myself it's because I'm still only 12dpo as I have a short LP. AF is usually bang on time but it looks like this month she's going to play with my head!
