Devildolly, Let's do the French "Au revoir" thing, because if you translate that, I'm pretty sure that means we'll meet up again

Cats, all the best people take a few months to get their BFP - look at all of us amazing women here :laugh: Good luck with FF, I've found it really useful.

BlackRibboner, the CM monitoring is now autopilot here. Wipe and stare, POAS if relevant. I've stopped reporting to DH what it means, because he just stares at me like I'm a crazy woman. When you get your BFP and all this is redundant, you're going to wonder what to do after you've done your bathroom business :rotfl:

Cuilean, I'm so glad it's not just me! OH knows about cm, but I don't think he realises just how closely I inspect it. . . :rotfl:

Negative opk tonight, so I think yesterday's borderline might have been the surge. Fingers crossed the last few days' bding will be enough to catch...

<waves to everyone>
I'm back in the game after mc at end of April. I poas 12 days after surgery and it was negative so I know all the preg hormones are gone. Not sure how quickly they went as didn't check any earlier. FF is trying to tell me I ov'ed last week because I had three highish temps (the third one was significantly lower than the other two), but my temp chart has been up & down like I'm trying to use the medium of BBT to conjure images of The Rockies :rotfl: I started using opks three days ago and I think the line is getting a little bit darker every day so we might be positive in the next few days.

Kelly - please can you put me in Awaiting Ov? CD22 (I set CD1 as the day of erpc surgery so this cycle was always going to be long)

*Cuilean* I am impressed you can distinguish enough from what's on the paper; I have to do the full on two finger insertion, fish around a bit (to check cervix position so I can tell FF, obv) then see what comes out, move fingers open and shut and see if it's sticky or stretchy etc!

Oh god how early is too early to test?

After another MMC I have been very nervous about trying again, as I just fear he same thing is going to happen again.

We have only DTD once since I had a very light AF. Yesterday was day 29, and I had quite a few AF symptoms - huge spot, sore boobs, crampy feeling.

I realised I had forgotten to take the test three weeks after the op to check I was no longer pregnant, but was so busy I forgot!

Just peed on it last night, and the test had two lines on it!! I don't know what to think! It was very unexpected! Am worried it could something left over from last pregnancy (I think this is unlikely). Will post pic later. Feeling very nervous. Think I might just ignore for a week and see what my body does.

:eek:

Awww ThePug, I am so happy to "see" a familiar friendly face, but also gutted about the circumstances of it. Hope you're not back for long.

Lemontree, do you mean PG test? Go onto CountdownToPregnancy and use their calculator. That tells you the best days to POAS.

Pinkshoes, I'm excited for you - fingers crossed your body has sorted itself out and this is the result you want.

Hello Ladies

I am CD6. Although it was expected after the number of AF symptoms I had early last week it was still a terrible blow when it happened - we threw everything at it this month, the expensive OV kits to make sure I wasn't reading the IC ones wrong, Conceiveplus, extra BD days etc but nothing.

We had a fraught and teary row/chat over ways forward. The longer it isn't happening the more I am convinced it won't and so we should just stop trying. My OH is desperate for a kid and willing to keep trying forever. Whilst he is involved and invested in this, I do think it easier for men, they aren't the ones POAS, checking CM, charting the stress just isn't as high for them.

Good luck to all of you this month and fingers crossed for a baby boom in Feb 2016!

I'm having the most horrific mood swings and bloating. This has turned me into a foul mouthed, hypersensitive mare of a woman. If I can get through the weekend without DH filing for divorce, I will frankly be amazed. I'm kind of hoping that the BFN is accurate now, because if I have to put people through nine months of irrational mouth-of-a-fishwife tendencies, I'm going to have no support network but you ladies by the end of it :rotfl: Please tell me I'm not alone, and these mood swings are normal. This never happened when I was on the pill!

Without a doubt normal! Since coming off the pill a year ago I will be fine one moment, stressed out and moody the next and then crying my eyes out because I shouldn't be moody or angry. This will all happen in less than an hour.


CD5 for me. AF arrived as expected. We have booked a last minute few nights away for the bank holiday weekend. I am not having a very good time at work and so this is hopefully going to take my mind off it.


That sounds promising Pinkshoes!!
