Hello ladies, I'm new to this board and was wondering what to do, and if I am permitted, to join you? Felt a bit down yesterday after trying for three months and the "AF" arrived so could do with the support and advice... Would be nice to hear all the success stories too. Can I join in??

Of course! Welcome

Of course you can! I'm sure QQ will be around later to sign you up.

Of course you can join us! Welcome.

This ttc malarkey can be very stressful at times and we're all down sometimes but the ladies on here are the best "cheerer uppers" ever

Don't hate me for saying it but three months really isn't that long (though I know it feels like it). I think 6 months is the average time it takes to conceive so you don't need to start worrying yet.

A lot of the ladies on here chart their temperature to look out for ovulation or use ovulation predictors, are you doing any of this? I don't bother with either as I've got a fairly regular cycle and get pretty clear signs I'm ovulating (ewcm, pains around my ovaries etc) so make sure I pounce of OH as much as I can during this time . I think charting would stress me out too much but it can be a godsend if your cycles aren't regular.

In all likelihood your stay here won't be as long as some of us but if it does take you a while at least it will teach you patience which is something you need in spades when you're a mum (so I'm told!) :rotfl:

I'm still knicker watching (not as pervy as it sounds but glad it makes you giggle!) and have red AF light flow, am praying it will stop within 24 hours and I can dream it was implanation. I suppose it will not and I am out this month but a girl can hope.

TMI alert - its red like AF but is based in stretchy EWCM fluuid - so not quite like normal AF which gives me hope but In my heart I know IB should be brown not red so I think i'll have a bath tonight and mope before getting my PMA ready for next month!

LMG - don't usually post on this thread now but obviously still a lurker :rotfl: anyhow the month I got my BFP here me and OH were DTD (sorry TMI - I know:o) when I began to bleed I cursed at him and told him he'd started AF and it was all his fault bless him then went off to my friends house party at her house drank lots of vodka had some painkillers for cramps and generally felt miserable. It was also stretchy but bright red stuff and I believed implantation was brown and I'd never had an implantation bleed in previous pregnancies either.

Anyway the next day I had nothing no bleeding and I still didn't get it still felt heavy below but no more bleeding was happy that AF was so short but wondering why 4days later no sign of full AF so HPT - (first response one) and received a BFN still no AF that day I bought a CB digi and the next morning Pregnant 1 - 2 :j was shocking really and I stressed about the weekend antics when I had my strop about AF supposedly arriving but am now at 21wks and 3days and our little lad is growing well and all looks great I of course haven't had a vod since !

Sorry if I dragged that out a bit but just wanted to say that implantation bleeds arent always brown as we are led to believe and it may well be that thats what you are having still and would certainly be testing if its gone tomorrow but leave it about a week to be sure. Good luck

I'm tierd. Sister got called in to do a trial 2 hours work for a new job. So I had to have little man. I spent ages rocking him in his blanket and singing twinkle twinkle little star. My arms are all jibbery like they are going to fall off! lol. Babies are hard work ;-)..........................and I love it!!

Thanks

Bought my walking shoes to work today so will try to get out for a walk at lunchtime.

Also been drinking more water, but the trouble is I keep needing a wee. Maybe that's why it's so good for you... because you burn off calories walking to the loo and back? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Now that is really funny! Nearly laughed out loud and made the baby jump.

Yup! My youngest little sod, sorry darling, who turns two on Saturday has had 3 time outs today and 3 separate scoldings. Not all from me either so not just that I am in a grumpy mood today. Which I am now, but because of him. Examples include dipping my iPhone in a glass of water, and throwing said glass of water across the kitchen when iPhone rescued :cool:

I am not ss because far too early to have any but I am shattered today and also starving hungry. I spent the morning making fish pies though from the AWT cookbook (made 5 as they are far too much work to only make one at a time) and I am really looking forward to tea tonight!

Your bang the same as me. This is now my 4th cycle and cd day 2 here. Started end of June.

Can't read back now, but here goes so far. Will be back tomorrow:wave:

Sexymouse, congrats on £50 voucher!:j That's a mega mood booster:cool:
Thanks for the link, wish I could join them:happyhear
Secretdebts, I think I need to accidentally re-order my Preseed soon:p
Fannyanna, I use both CBFM & OPKs. CBFM is like a digital OPK, but cheaper (in the long run:p). You can sell the machine (ebay?) after you've finished with it. Or give it to someone. Sticks are about £10 for 20.
Some has seen the monitor for sale at £20 at some Superdrugs, but I've never seen them at that price.
Lily, well done on your walking:T You are one step nearer to being healthily pg:cool:
Let us know when you open the fitness thread:)
It might have to be in the MSE Arms section though.
Whattodonow, welcome:wave:
Of course you can join:)
Let me know the particulars so I could add you to the first page.
(((Hugs))) for AF:( How long have you been trying?

Amanda thank you so much for taking the time to post your experience. It has given me some hope, I guess the next 24 hours will tell us the real answer. I can live in hope that my experience is similar to yours. If it's good news I'll be sure to let you know. I just cant help but want to class it as AF not IB, i guess its self defence, means I dont have as far to fall once I have confirmation!

If it is AF then at least I get another OV in before my birthday next month!
