Trying for a Baby Part 9

chocoholic_chick

Evening ladies

Feeling rubbish today, slept really bad last night so exhausted today, backs aching and I've had spotting Spotting started on same CD last month too so I'm pretty positive AF will be here Saturday. Realistically I knew the chances of me getting a BFP this month were going to be slim, but I was still hoping that I would be pregnant and im honestly gutted im not. Think im a bit hormonal and feeling sorry for myself today.

Too tired to read through everyones updates so I'll catch up tomorrow

Not read back but just jumping in cos I had a call just now from Clearblue about their trial.

I didn't pass the criteria cos I am breastfeeding DD but they seem to be looking for people with cycles between 28 and 42 days, aged 25-44, without PCOS and who haven't taken any fertility drugs of any kind or had help with ovulating.

There is another study in two months so she said if I'm still not pregnant by then I should apply as I would fit the criteria for that one.

Bit gutted I didn't just lie about Bfing cos DD is 3.5 years and it's less than once a day! Can't see it would make any hormonal difference, not like when they are teeny and feeding 13 times in 24 hours!

Maybe some of you girls will be lucky?

Thanks for the info. I replied to the email and someone also tried to call me when I was at work, so Im going to call them back tomorrow morning!

I fit the criteria that youve listed so unless anything else pops up I hope I get it, even if it is only for 1 cycle.

aw that sucks Skint!
Mrs T_M you should *espeically* make an Ariel with removable tail and i'm glad you're making Worf
thank you ladies for your words of support i shall just have to keep plodding, i'd cut my calories but i'm already at 1200-1400 a day so hard to cut any further without DH shouting at me lol
don't let Miss O hear but Miss Cervix is low, slighty firm and open and wet, whereas she's been ridiculously high and soft the rest of the week. ovulation may be approaching. at CD16. 16 :eek: I Oved on CD54 last cycle. Inositol is making one heck of a difference!

Getting my name on my passport changed, bit close for comfort when we fly in seven weeks and have gone and got the form and my pictures but it says it doesn't necessarily need countersigning but i should get it countersigned if i've changed significantly and i don't think i have but i have hair in my face and glasses on in the first picture but hair back glasses off (which is a feat in itself when you're blind as i am) in the new one and my teacher friend is on standby to countersign so i'll just get it countersigned so i'm not stressed out because ooohmyyygooodd how do they make explaining a simple form so complicated!

DH sent his passport off to get it renewed and name change at the same time, and we didnt get it counter signed because there was no significant change in look - I think it would have to be quite severe, and I posted it on a Friday, and I think it was back by the following Thursday. This was about 3/4 weeks ago?

Well I'm on the CB trial but it looks very different to what you've been doing Becca. Apparently we have a *new* monitor to test so we only get to keep it for one cycle (I like that the CB lady said "until you're pregnant in the cycle"... love her optimism!) and have to keep a pretty detailed diary. We then get some vouchers though so could probably buy our own monitor (which of course won't be needed any longer )

Sorry to hear we're not trial buddies Skint, but hopefully you'll be on the next one and they'll prove to be some sort of super lucky charm!

good to know there are vouchers too. Just hoping I get it now!

Was it an 0141 number (or something like that?) If so, I also had a missed call.

Mine was from 01234 835 232 but they may be using a number of call centres to work through the applicants.

Hugs skintchick I think mine will be here tomorrow spotting is heavier and cramps are here. I have scrutinised my chart and am convinced I'm 11dpo which means that even though I'm not pg (haven't even tested I'm soooooo over my Poas obsession fed up of seeing bfn I guess) I have a long enough lp to have half a shot now.

Did you give up on the opks?

Maybe you are in the 2ww now?

Once I took til cd39 to ovulate. DH made me do a pregnancy test around cd35 just to prove I wasnt just pregnant. Which I knew I wasnt so was even more depressing as I hadnt even ovulated let alone got pregnant! Makes you feel like tearing your hair out.

What is with all the missing AFs at the mo?! I'm with you skint!
