Well, af is due this sunday - will be interesting to see what goes on this month.
i have everything crossed...

Telly, Crossing crossables. I hope you have a better outcome than I did this month.

Jenn, I'm sorry you had no luck again this month, I'm really wishing and hoping for you. big (((hugs)))

Telly, all crossables crossed and then some.

I'm really hoping for the best for all TTC'ers.

Telly will be crossing everything possible for you this month.

Jenn, sorry it didn't happen for you this month, but will be crossing it all for you next month.

Just a quick note, I see you are talking about when to "do it", when DH and I were trying for Olivia, we "did it"every day for 2 weeks, so 1 week after AF. I was so desperate to get preggy again after losing Ashley. I didn't chart or do temps, just had lots of fun BDíng for 2 weeks lol.......

Well, I have no news yet, but I haven't got a period yet, that's why I took the ticker off. With my irregular cycle, its hard to tell, but the average cycle length is about 32-33 days, so wait for AF from about 30+days. There have been a few 36's and a couple of 38's before I got pregnant last time, but since the d&c, my periods have come every 31-33 days.

I tested on Sunday and it was negative, but I may have been a bit premature, as there isn't really a sign of anything yet. I'm having mild-cramping in my lower abdomen, which I have had for a couple of days, and have a sore lower back and extremely tired, and still really no sign of AF. CM has become sticky and creamy/milky and there isn't much of it. I keep checking it as sometimes I feel like I've leaked, but nothing. The past couple of times I've had a little spotting beforehand, but nothing yet. My breasts have been a little sore, but not nipples, and DH doesn't think they have darked, but I can't tell yet either, something I don't really take notice of.

I read up last night that it could be implantation cramping, and can happen 8 - 10 days after conception (?) and the last baby dance was on the 29th, so would be around the right time if it were.

My longest cycle ever has been 38 days, and that was since about the middle-end of last year. I've made a point of writing how often it comes for this very reason. I'm hoping to hang out until Tuesday to test, which is 39 days or Friday (16th) which will make it six weeks from LMP.

I really feel like it's our turn this month, but I was wrong last month too, but am feeling rather optimistic because of the late period.

Will let you know.

I tested again yesterday - yes, prematurely, and it was negative - but still no period - so am going to wait for my longest cycle, which is 38 days, and then test on Friday, which by then I'd know if I was or not anyway. I got horrid nausea yesterday and today - and I really do think this time is our time - my levels probably aren't high enough, and I'm just testing too early.

Hi Telly

I have all my crossables crossed for you too. Will you be joining the MTB board on the EBB when you get your BFP? I have just joined the August MTB board tonight. Very exciting but also very surreal.

Best of luck and keep us posted.

Claire

Hi Telly

I'm really sorry you didn't get a BFP this month but it sounds like you've got a great plan for moving on. Here's hoping it makes the difference. I totally understand the need to cry...it is like losing a baby all over again when you're sure you're pg and you find out you're not. Be kind to yourself, enjoy christmas (even if it's just a break from the ordinary) and plan on a healthy 2006 pregnancy and a bouncing bonny babe!!!!

Thinking of you

Big (((HUGS)))

I am so sorry this month wasnt your month.

Whilst it is hard to not be able to get pregnant as easily as I did before - I have (i guess) to accept that things happen for a reason and there is no way I can stop it. Yeah, we are dissapointed that this month is not our month, and yeah, its harder because its baby's due date this weekend - but somehow, you have to pick up the peices and carry on. I already have one lovely little more, which is more than some people get, and I have to be thankful. I'm sure my day will come when I can have another baby.......................

Oh Telly. I am so sorry. I know how devastating it is and I was really hoping for you.

Have you started charting? Using OPK's? My cycle varies in length still (but only by a few days) and is still longer than it ever was in the past and I have found that it has really helped me pinpoint the O day. Usually the second half of your cycle doesn't vary in length, only the first half, so OPK's can help tell you when O will occur. All this said, I have been doing it for 4 months now without a BFP.

Big (((hugs))) girl.

Jenn

I haven't used OPK's no - and I am not going to. My cycle can vary between 28 and 28 days.

I was charting, and finding it of not help, so I stopped.

I know I will get my BFP soon

I'm sorry Telly

((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))

Good Luck Telly, all crossables crossed for you





here's hoping double the amount helps

Jacqui

Good luck Telly!! I find they tell me when I O'd. Apparently the luteal phase rarely changes in length and so you can then judge when af should arrive easier (or hopefully NOT ARRIVE!!)

Used the opk's this month - from day 14 until yesterday which was day 23.

I found with the test it said that the two lines needed to be dark for it to be positive, and not the Test line being there but lighter than the other, which is what I had on a couple of days. We BD'd then, but who know's - my bodys so screwed.

Anyway, we have another plan if we aren't lucky this month. If the opk is anything to go by, my peiod would be due on the 13th/14th Jan, so hopefully that day comes and goes without event.

T

Hi Telly,

I am hoping to use OPKs this month for the first time too so will see about the line thing...

All the best for no AF arriving for you this year!!

Hi Telly

Do you think your luteal phase (post O) is 14ish days? How long ago was your predicted ovulation?

I don't know much about fertility stuff but I am pretty sure you need a luteal phase of at least 12 days to sustain a pg. Does that make sense? Probably don't know what I am talking about but perhaps you should have a discussion about it with your GP if you haven't already.

I know it must be heart-breaking getting AF again. Let's hope 2006 hurries up and improves for you.

Best of luck

Day 14 (DPO) was supposed to be Friday - today is 11 days DPO
