So sorry to hear your news Pug - it really is awful; I hope you are getting through it ok.
Thanks for your thoughts also ladies, it's much appreciated. Its been a pretty rubbish 10 days but I'm on the mend now. I'll probably come back on here in a few months when I'm allowed to start trying again.
Good luck all, hope that none of you are here when I get back (in the nicest possible way!) x#KiamaHouse0 -
Good to hear from you JoBatch - and that you will be able to start trying again. Fingers crossed everything comes out all right x
Commiserations on AF chickp and ellesbelles, virtual vodka and doughnuts en route
I spoke too soon about ovulation - despite high temps yesterday and today, had EWCM again today
Has anyone experienced this after ovulation? I don't think I can coax any more BDing out of OH this month, so if it hasn't already happened we're sunk - and I'm back to not knowing when the next cycle will start. Ho hum :cool: 0 -
Black Ribboner my cycle has been like yours! Very confusing, EWCM from CD9, with near positive Opks for a week. Finally had very strong positive on Thurs so I'm calling 1DPO and giving DH the rest of the month off!!
If I'm not lucky this cycle, I think I might lay off the OPKs next time as they cause a bit of obsession in me!!0 -
With a working loo (At last!), and one day until AF was due, I finally got to do a test - BFN
Also, just to kick me while I was down, five minutes later, AF arrived. So now I have a BFN and AF all in one day. I managed to curtail the expletives to a John McEnroe style "You cannot be serious", which I'm pretty sure entitles me to some sort of cash reward for self-restraint.
CD1 please :mad:© Cuilean 2005. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.0 -
Sorry cuilean, AF is teasing me this month too. Due today but not had my usual 'warning' spotting and none of my imminent arrival pains either. But I know if I test it'll be a bfn and then AF will appear in that 'what?! you knew I was coming!!' kind of way

I'll have to test tomorrow if there's still nothing as we're away for the night and I won't be able to think about anything else otherwise.
Wishing everyone a relaxed and fun weekend!0 -
Ah Cuilean, what a horrible double whammy
Hugs and well done on the restraint - not sure I could have been so decorous.
Maire, it's comforting to know I'm not the only one struggling to interpret fertility signs! I'll be using opks for the first time next month - I can't obsess any more than I do and maybe it will offer more clarity than the cm/temps/symptom methods . . . You know, I can't work out how I'm meant to track fertility signs but not obsess or stress about them. The two seem to be mutually exclusive!
Keep us updated snow_ball, all crossed that it isn't just a tease!0 -
In shock. Couldn't stop thinking about it so did a superdrug test and got an instant BFP!!!! Did a digi & I'm 2-3 weeks.
