Trying for a Baby Part 7

hullo helenlk. I think if it was me I would wait a few more days and if AF doesn't turn up, do another test.
Lilymay, I can't believe what that 'woman' said to you on fb. I would get rid of fb if it wasn't the tool I use for keeping in touch with my closest mates, sad I know but I have a horrific phone phobia. So much so that one of my friend's laughed at me the other day as we spoke on the phone for the first time in over 15 years!
As for calling a child that, wow. I know I like natural but alternative names but that is taking it a bit far.
Amus, try again when you feel ready. I personally don't ever think there will be a perfect time, but it should be when it feels right for you, and you alone. Everyone is different. We started 'trying' (well NTNP) straight away after we lost our baby. In highsight, it was wrong for me, I didn't give myself time to mourn. But that was me, I was just trying to replace what I had lost, rather than trying for a new individual life.
AF will be arriving soon. Never thought I would be willing it to arrive. Sorry for being so glum recently, having a month of not ttc was more stressful than if we were trying. At least ttc gave something to look forward to even if it was a bfn.Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.0 -
Man, I am so ANGRY.
I just tried to do a second digi OPK (tried to do 1 at 3pm) , and instead of giving me an answer...it started flashing and then came up with the book symbol...ON 3 TESTS. I thought maybe I'd done something wrong but no, the fhecking thing is just broken. They're like £2 a test and I've wasted 3 of them, plus I may have missed my smiley face this month.
I need to phone the helpline tomorrow and complain. I'm equally annoyed because I just tried to do a IC OPK..but instead of an OPK, I pulled out of pregnancy test (virtually identical packaging). I only realised when I only got 1 line on the test and got all worried.
AHHHHHH!!!
£2 a stick!!! Thats why I dont use clearblue. You can get a whole wodge of opks for the same price!
I would definitely complain!0 -
16 dpo ovulation for me and a BFN but no af either! Wish it would hurry up so we can start next cycle! Body can ne so cruel- has tricked me all week into thinking I was going to get a BFP but not to be!
Hows everyone else doing? We are off to a christening this weekend of a baby concieved using a condom! Argh!!
Hugs to all xx0 -

I wonder if the molar nurse might have any details or if they have any funding for it. Mostly I feel OK with it, but I can't help but think that when the results do come back normal, that there is another bad spell to come as I know a lot of my energies/feelings are wound up with the molar aspect and too concentrated on that rather than losing the baby iyswim.
personally i'd always recommend it. i wasn't sure it would do me any good but i got in the room for my first session and burst out crying and didn't stop for the whole hourit made me realise how much i'd put pressure on myself to feel better, like i said to myself i should be over it by the time i went back to work a week later :cool:
and it made me realise that i hadn't really accepted it as something that had happened to me, that it was something that was part of my story, you know? i was trying to get over it so much i hadn't processed it x xLittle Lowe born January 2014 at 36+6

I hope you can get some counselling sorted Abis, I'm sure it'll help you. I'm amazed at how quickly some of you ladies get back to work, don't think I'd cope
SIL had 6 weeks off with her MC, she's very lucky to have compassionate managers how insisted she stayed off until she felt ready to come back.
No sign of AF yet, it usually arrives at 10DPO but who knows?! I'll see what happens and test on Tuesday if it doesn't turn up. Not too hopeful as I'm not sure we got the timing right but fingers crossed!
Supposed to be going to a BBQ tomorrow night but I hope it'll be rained off (and not just moved indoors) as I really can't be bothered!OH's been working 12 days straight and he's exhausted bless him, just want to curl up on the sofa with comfort food and movies all weekend!

Helen - maybe wait a few days and try again x
(((Elsie)))
Niknok I do prefer the digital tests - at least you get a straight answer rather than straining eyes and making yourself believe there is a line when there isn't! Give it a go!
Just some advice needed - when should I start ov tests this month? I'm on day 9 now.First baby due 3/3/14 - Team Yellow! Our little girl born 25/2/140 -
Sorry cross posted with you Birdie. Hope you have a relaxing weekend and that AF doesn't turn up
17 days until Disney honeymoon now! We booked when the free dining plan and $150 gift card offer was on. Going to save us quite a bit of money I think. Topped up our Travelex card and brought travel insurance, hotel booked for night before not much left to do!First baby due 3/3/14 - Team Yellow! Our little girl born 25/2/140 -
Thank you lilymay ,vesper and becca. I done another clear blue this morning with FMU and BFN. I wish AF would just make an appearance now so we can crack on with a new month.
I'll see what happens over the weekend and like you advise maybe do another test mon/tues if af still hasn't arrived.
Thank you for your advice your all very kind.
