Trying for a Baby Part 9

codemonkey

The 7 year thing is about the cells in your body regenerating every 7 years. So it's not 7 years from now - it's 7 since you were born. So 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and so on.

Fingers crossed Mrs T_M. And sorry your OH wasn't as receptive as you'd like. I've long ago learned that speaking to DH while he's gaming is about as useful as trying to speak to me when I'm plugged in writing code i.e. not very. Perhaps he'll be more receptive to a digital. Don't even think about it yet. You shouldn't be testing at 9dpo!!


AFM found some ewcm yesterday but just too tired to do anything about it. Both of us have been exhausted lately and in bed at 10. I'm a night owl so this is weird. Hope we're not getting sick.

The only reason I was is that I have a health check and fitness test this morning at the gym. If I'm pregnant, I'm not allowed to do the fitness test because it's running on a treadmill to get your heart as fast as it can go. Anyway, nada on a test this morning, so the lines were probably evaps or its a very shy bean. Anyway, I won't be testing again until 12DPO - when AF is due.

Hmmm, interesting. I'm 28 this year so we'll see if something magically clicks and I get PG in May!

Hope AF stays well away Mrs TM. Also hope that the fitness test goes OK, I'm so unfit I'd be terrified of someone finding out just how rubbish I am! _pale_

I hope all of our ladies who've had losses don't find Sunday too difficult.

A promoted Tweet popping up on my phone from a flower company the other day nearly made me sick- 'Mums-to-be are amazing. They deserve flowers.' So do women who want to be mums but don't yet have the pleasure. Where are my flowers, eh?!

Morning everyone

I just poas and a BFN I'm afraid, I've got no excuses this time I used fmu and it was a first response early test (the ones that give you a result up to 6 days early) so I think that's a definate no!

That said I'm still clinging onto hope that spotting earlier this week was implantation and so its too early for any test to pick up HCG, as I'm sure I've read somewhere that tests don't show positive until a few days after implantation - yes I'm properly clutching at straws here....

Due to spotting I really thought I was in with a chance today and I feel upset now, I want this so much and it feels like its never going to happen

Thanks Claire. I am getting myself worked up over nothing really. I use an app on my phone as my cycle were text book.

That's the problem with the apps they only work on averages so they won't be right if you ovulate later sometimes. You should be able to get a reliable result today.

DH is a personal trainer & he knows exactly how unfit I am lol, I don't go in his gym though so probably good for him as I won't be embarrassing him :rotfl: ill just stick to doing dancing on the wii!

I think implantation bleeding is a lot rarer than we are lead to believe. It seems to be something that pops up on ttc forums as something to hope for, but never actually seems to be anything other than AF coming!

But you are right it will take a few days after implantation so if you're testing too early you need to wait longer for an accurate result. Those tests say on the packet they're only 60% accurate that far ahead - youd be 50% accurate taking a guess yourself! At 14dpo it should be correct though.

Think the only reason I'm clinging onto hope of implantation bleeding is because the spotting has now stopped completely for over 48 hours and I've got no symptoms of AF arrival...I've had spotting lots of times before AF but it always gets heavier leading to a full flow, I've never had this before!

Also realise I'm clutching at straws, but won't give in complety till AF arrives either!

Yeah definitely don't give up hope yet. Some women do sometimes spot a bit around the time they would have got AF and they are pregnant I'm just not entirely convinced that's from actual implantation as that would happen earlier.

Not sure what else you can do apart from wait unfortunately!

Good luck TeamLowe, lolou23, mrs t_m and all..
As for me, I am on Cd 34, no AF yet. I was expecting this cycle to be 30/31 daysas I normally have alternative short and long cycles and last cycle was 34 days. Havent tried BD since about 10 days now, thinking it might harm what may be in there .. Fingers crossed. Feeling nausiatic and tired, and very sleepy today. Also noticed some cervical clear mucus these days, which oozes more at stress time. Slightly sensitive nipples. Occasional mild pains in abdomen (either side). BUT A BFN ( Not sure what's happening. Is there a time of day when I should do preg test? I did today's first thing in the morning.
Meanwhile, I've been going to GP for blood tests (LH, FSH, PROGESTRONE). Nurse messed up and took a wrong test when she had to take progestrone test a wasted cycle.
Baby dust to all..

Mrs TM - My heart is racing just thinking about trying to kill myself by running on a treadmill. I would barely be able to walk quickly on the treadmill :rotfl: I'm so unfit! Hope it goes well tomorrow.

Loulou - Sorry for the BFN. Just as a little glimmer of hope..... I had a BFN at 14dpo, and then got a BFP at 21dpo, so don't give up hope until AF shows up.....

Hope everyone is having a good day. Thank the lordy it's Friday!!

Told the lady that I wasn't sure if I was or not, so instead of running, she changed the parameters and had me lie down to take my resting respiration and heart rate!

Turns out that my overall score was a 70 out of 100, so not too bad, but plenty of room for improvement. Blood glucose was on the low side of normal, but normal, and cholesterol was spot on perfect. Same thing with the blood pressure. My fitness level is on the high side of 'poor' (understandable) and my BMI is still way too high, which I knew. She recommended that I try out the cycling classes that they have, and the best bit is that they are on Tuesday and Thursday. My aqua aerobics is on MWF, so I can go every day! Also, during the time before ov, I can go do zumba on Saturdays.

I won't be testing again until the 10th March (when AF is due), but I'm hoping that CB go ahead and call me for the second interview and send out the dang meter before then so that I can use one of their tests before I start. :rotfl:
