Trying for a Baby Part 8
Comments

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 positives
Still 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!0 -
Lilian, you are back!:j
(I really must read back, I really must read back:o).
Would you like to be listed on the first page? Can you give me some details please:)0
