Scooby - Yea, i think a few of us knew about MrsJ but I didn't want to say anything because it felt a bit like gossiping. She knows we are all here and willing to support her when she is ready to come back.
Life can be very very cruel.
Coops - Stay positive. You had a baby last year so you can do it again this year. That said, def go to the GP if you are worried. You'll hopefully get seen to asap.
Gemmzie - Massive hugs.
Tea&Cakes - My cycles have varied a bit since they came back after DS....28-31 mostly...with the 36 day cycle being a suspected chemical. I didn't realise how lucky I was with my lovely 25 day pre-csection cycles...!14th October 201020th October 20113rd December 20130 -
Bigbird, exciting:j Any piccie?
Perhaps it's time for a digi tomorrow or the day after?
amus, (((hugs))) for AF
But well done for timing it right in case you fail your interview. I bet you'll pass it with flying colours in that case and get pg:p
niknok, fingers crossed your boobs were trying to tell you something:cool:
lilymay, I know which CD you are on but I'll keep it quiet for you:p I'm sad the holiday has ended, but even sadder that my oven/microwave/dishwasher doesn't work any more:( Seems the fuse is gone:shocked:
Gemmzie, (((hugs))). My younger sister has just got married, so I know I'm getting the news soon too:(
TeamLowe, I haven't heard the news about the frozen embryos. I will google now though, thanks:)
coops, it's always good to have a check up. Things like taking clomid tablets can fix a lot of things:)
scoobydoo, massive hugs for AF:(
Sorry to hear about Mrsj28, will have a look in the mc thread now:(0 -
BigBird - I'm not sure it'll be any help, but clearblue tests have always been rubbish for me. They give me TLP's/bad evap lines most cycles...even before I've ovulated! Lol. Hopefully they work for you though that that TLP will turn into a BFP
I've googled and it seems clearblue tests are a bit notorious for giving false positivesStill no AF though, so I'll just have to remain cautiously optimistic for now and test again in a couple of days.
Sorry, QQ, I didn't take a piccie. I just fished it out of the bin and the line is still there though, if you want a pic of it now?! It's well past the time limit of when you're supposed to read it though. I have one digi, but I'm not sure if it's worth doing as I think they are even less sensitive than the bog-standard clearblue tests, aren't they? Maybe I'll try it with FMU in the morning.
I'm actually doing an online shop just now for delivery tomorrow. maybe I should buy a whole selection of tests
ETA - I've just done another IC (because I am nothing if not impatient) and it seems to now be a TTTTTLP (if I hold it at an angle and squint a bit)
And now I think I'm going to have to go and put all other tests out in the garage now, as I really need to get on with some work!You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change.0 -
Birdbird - Lol, i love that you are admitting to squinting and holding the test at an angle. If it were me, I would be poadigi right now but I too am very impatient
Fingers crossed for you. When will AF be officially late?14th October 201020th October 20113rd December 20130 -
Oh that's really sad about MrsJ
Hugs for AF Scooby
I love dreams like that TeamLowe, even when they have a lot of random weirdness going on in them too!
I held a 7 month old girl on Saturday, then played with my work friend's 2 and 4 year old DDs for about an hour, they were all so cute and happy and lovely, I came over all gooey!Playing with little ones is a treat for me since we don't have any in our family and none of my best friends have any so I really enjoy it when I do get cuddles from tiny people!

Lilymay, my cycles have been getting steadily shorter since I had my coil out in April. Pre-DS they were 26/27 days. My last cycle was 27 days, which is about back to normal. Currently on CD28, so AF is potentially a day late if this cycle was going to be the same.
I am very tempted to dig out the digi, but feel I should at least wait for FMU since they are not exactly cheap (impatient, yet miserly)
I'm still collecting FMU every day for the CBF trial. Maybe tomorrow I'll keep an extra pot aside so I can test randomly throughout the day :rotfl:
Photos coming up QQ. If I can remember my photobucket password. And how to put photos on here.You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you change the world, the world will change.0 -
Afternoon Ladies,
Woe is me post coming up so feel free to ignore.....
Feeling a little deflated this month as I am using my cbfm and it's just showing low. I usually temp and it's not been showing a spike mid cycle for about 3 cycles now either so wondering if I'm just about past it at 40! sigh.
I now know we don't ovulate every month (thanks QQ!, I think you mentioned this and I hadn't realised) but I thought the first one was a blip, second was just unlucky, third was perhaps just bad temping but now I'm beginning to worry that nothing is happening.
Thinking I should see this cycle out and go to my doctors and see what they say. As I say, I'm over 40 now so worried about time......
Don't say you're past it at 40 - us oldies need to stick together!:T0 -
Hi all
So sad about MrsJ - I really feel for her
BB - fingers crossed for a BFP in the morning!
Teaandcupcakes - I also have my fingers crossed that AF stays away and when you test on Thursday you get a BFP!
It's rubbish feeling jealous isn't it - we haven't even started trying again yet and I keep eyeing all the newly married ladies in the office wondering if they'll be announcing before me! I keep seeing pregnant ladies around as well, more than normal I'm sure
CD7 for me - started doing my First Response tests yesterday but there are only 20 in the pack and my cycle was 41 days last month (39 on average) so I think I will wait until CD10 to start testing again as I don't want to get to CD26 and still not OV if it's a 41 day cycle again!My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |
