Clairsmummy-I have read that opks can be used as HPT if your AF is due or late but to be honest if the HPT are neg i would disregard the opks as i have had positive opks right up until AF is due as some of them can detect the LH hormone after O and show positive that is why the instructions say once you get your 1st pos on a opk dont test any more but if you are very late it is a good sign my fingers are crossed for you.
Thanks Ferrals- Did the whole POAS with my FR PG test this morning and it was yet again another BFN so going to try and get in to see my DR today and find out what's happening with me. Maybe I'm O'ing really really late this cycle, I'm at CD34 today AF is now 9 days late and my nipples are so tender today it's painful wearing clothing, so I have no idea what's going on this cycle. Sorry to get anybodies hopes up for an upcoming BFP to break our drought in here........
ferrals - that's great news about the preliminary results, I'm going cross eyed keeping everything crossed over here lol, hoping the cholesterol enzyme result is normal as well. You'll be able to have a tag rippin off party once you know she's coming home to stay! hehehe.
Clairsmummy - Hoping you get your BFP this morning.
India's - Have a fantastic holiday...I would love one right about now!
AFM - still keeping busy, don't think my bathroom has ever been so clean, to the point of cleaning every line of grout with a little nail brush. Although I had another meltdown while working out what to wear to DH work Christmas party. Last Christmas I was going to where a blue dress I owed and decided no I'll keep it for this year because I was convinced I would be pregnant by now and it would have made a lovely belly dress....idiot!
Clairesmummy I'm hoping your post was last night 'cause I'm dying to hear how you went now! We could really do with some cheering up in here! Good luck and I hope you've got a BFP waiting for you this morning!
Ferrals, sorry you've got a miserable flu. Not surprising really with all the stress and strain you've been through. So far so good, all we need now is that last piece of happy news to set you on your way to a happy pregnancy that you can start enjoying and celebrating! Positive thoughts, positive thoughts xxx
Sunbeam, have a wonderful trip away, I hope you get lots of sun on your head and enjoy relaxing to the sound of water lapping around you...ah, how blissful! Hope you feel re-energised when you get back and ready for your next stim cycle. xx
Luna, that doesn't sound right, you poor thing I can't believe this has gone on for seven weeks no wonder you are at your wits end with it. What's the latest?
Saffy, hum dee doo ... just waiting for your injections to start so I can get excited with you! I hope this cycle goes smoothly for you
India's Mum, don't be harsh with yourself about what you said, that is your experience and we are all mightily sick to death of being told to relax and if anything is going to make me spit, it's hearing those words. I would have responded in exactly the same way and maybe next time she'll think a bit more about it before saying something stupid and insensitive. Sorry, just makes me cross! Anyway, holiday. Yes, Bali is a great idea. My DH and I went a few years ago and it was just the most relaxing holiday...beautiful food, lovely locals, warm weather. I hope you have a wonderful time xx
Damprye, great to hear things have picked up for you. Moving house is always good once you are there - fresh start and all that though packing to move is always stressful so I hope you can get things sorted quickly. Social drinking sounds like fun - I've been off alcohol for months, feel like a nun. Haven't even had one drink since our BFN but just haven't felt like it. Happy days to you!
Hello Crafty, MatthewsMum, Mildez, Porsche, Toomanyshoes, and anyone else I've missed or who is lurking x
Well I saw my TCM doc yesterday and she was really gutted for us. Said she felt quite hopeful when she saw me during the TWW so was very sorry it hadn't worked for us. She wants me to wait a few months to see if I can get my cycle to 12 days at 36.7 in the leutal phase so that's my goal now. Ah, seems like hard work, I have to say but I guess I have to keep going. I think I will relax the diet a bit though (80/20 rule) 'cause you have to live and sometimes it can be very restrictive. Especially with our birthdays coming up it's going to be hard. Can't believe I'm going to be 42 and still TTC. Sigh. Oh well, I guess I still have a few more years in me. Had a lovely PM from one of the ladies in the other thread who knows someone who has been successful with fostering and a similar background to me. That made me feel very optimistic that we'll have our family one day soon, one way or another. So I'll be here charting away and following you all along and hoping we can get some BFPs in here soon 'cause we need them. Onwards and upwards everyone!! xx
Hey TooManyShoes and Alice- I got a BFN this morning on my HPT. I'm thinking now that my cycle is so messed up this month it don't know what the hang is going on either. I have never ever been this late for AF only when I have had a BFP has AF ever been this late. Usually she varies 1-2 days not bloody 9 like it is now. I'm just alittle peeved at myself this morning nothing major just a little let down but in all honesty I did expect a BFN.
Toomanyshoes, we posted at the same time. Ah yes, the ol' toothbrush/nailbrush to clean the grout routine - I'm with you on that!! Why is it that our bathrooms are the first place we clean to within an inch of our lives when we feel upset? Though I must admit mine is pretty disgusting right now. I have a brand new dress hanging in the closet that I bought for summer thinking it would be perfect for an ever expanding belly - it's like a loose rag on me, very depressing. I've had a look online (my niece's suggestion) but I think I'm just going to have to get out of the house and buy something. I think we both need some shopping therapy. Are you up for the challenge? x
Hey Clairesmummy, we posted at the same time too. Sorry for your BFN wow, I wonder what is going on with your cycle?? Maybe you ovulated really late this month or didn't ovulate? You're not seeing an FS are you? I wonder who you could ask? I guess it's a waiting game - bloody AF never around when you want her and always here when you don't!

Clairesmummy - The BFN sucks, hope you get some answers soon and your cycle settles back in nicely.
Alice - I've already been bad with the shopping, started a 2nd Christmas tree but my justification was that it's for mums place lol DH and I were naughty and opened our Christmas present early, Canon EOS 500D DSLR camera, so I've been playing with that. I gave DH my CC's on Sunday because I knew this week I wouldn't be able to stop myself, I always spend too much when upset and the thing is, I usually end up with stuff I'm not that happy with anyway...I'm trying to pull myself together to go out and buy something for my SIL who is having a baby in 6ish weeks, I've been doing the whole walk into the baby section, feel my eyes tear up, turn around and exit as fast as I can.
Although the one thing I would like to buy is another house, I must be out of the loop or something because it's like every 2nd house around here is either for sale or rent!
Just a quick update, becasue it is way past my bedtime. The scan showed empty uterus, the doctor says that since nothing is showing, I am not in pain, and 680 is low for even ectopic 7 week pregnancy, it was most probably just early miscarriage. I think he is right. Weird, I also think it is over now, bleeding stopped today. At least I can put this behind me and get ready for TTC again. I hope that the hcg will clear up fast now.
AFM-one more sleep i should get a call tomorrow if they had no problems with the testing i am not feeling so optimistic i keep expecting that kick in the guts that i have had so many times before.
nearly there Ferrals we're all hoping for the best possible outcome and then it will be celebration central here you deserve it so much not long to go now we're all praying for you xx
Luna, I'm so sorry your loss, I hope you can get on your way again soon with a happy outcome for you and your familyx
Toomanyshoes, I know what you mean about buying things you don't really want when you are feeling sad. I feel like it's something I should do rather than something I want to do IYKWIM. Had to laugh at your 'early' Christmas - it's not even December yet!! What about buying your SIL something for herself rather than the baby? I once got a girlfriend a whole lot of lovely indulgent body creams etc and she was so happy with it as plenty of people had got her things for the baby that way you can avoid the baby shops. Or I have seen really nice baby massage oils etc - might be easier than fronting a shop full of things that will just make you feel sad. sorry you are having this tough time x
Hi all, just got home so got to get dinner and an early night. Thinking I've caught Ferral's flu, feel very achy and super tired. x
