Mrs phez I salute your restraint so far! Yes please do keep us posted. I burn through ic's like nobodys's business. According to taking charge of your fertility book, 18 high temps in a row indicate pregnany- but who the hell would wait 18 days before testing!

I did test this morning and was bfn. Still no af though so perhaps I am 7dpo- only time will tell.

I had my bloods taken today, had to be done 7 days before period is due (which is guesswork for me at the moment as you know) but hopefully I'm close-ish to that time. He had on the form: FSH, LH, oestrogen, thyroid, full blood count and ESR which is an inflammation test. So no progesterone on the form which is crap but as we can see the NHS just don't believe in it!

Generally still feeling low, but I wanted to apologise for being bitter and jealous and taking it on you girls yesterday. I am sorry. I felt so lonely throughout and after the mc but not once you girls came to the rescue so was not fair to be horrible to you all when all you've done is give me support :hugs: :flower:
 
Jane I'm glad you've come back! Don't apologise at all for taking anything out on us! If that was you when you're being mean then your hubby obviously has nothing to worry about at home :) I'm glad you are back and hope you feel less crap soon. Ttc and pregnancy and this whole thing is a massively emotional time for all of us after whats happened in the past and its normal to feel blue about it. To be honest its crap! I started ttc over a year ago now and its been hell! At the beginning we think its all exciting and rosy but no! This is what this place is for, to rant and moan and talk to people who understand the ttc agony so don't feel bad at all. Lets hope you are actually 7dpo today. I thought it sounded more like ovulation as you had ewcm later but ran out of test sticks didn't you? If this bean sticks (please god) and you get bfn this cycle i'll post you my tests if you like as I bought a new box and only used a couple. But lets stay positive, if you are 7dpo you're still in the running for a bfp. I felt all blue before my bfp (when I left for a few days) so I wonder if that could be a sign........?
 
Will you go for the digital smiley face opk's as per your oh request Mlm? Will you SMEP?
 
I was the most depressed and bitter ever the days before I got my BFP, so Bobster could be on to something!

And lady, I'm soooo praying for your sticky little bean. I was an emotional mess until I passed my milestone date, and I imagine you are the same. I hope you are handling it better than I did, =I can remember at least 2 days I was in bed crying all day because I thought I was going to lose this one too. Poor DH just did not know how to comfort me and was a mess as well. Praying time flies by and you start to relax and enjoy yourself.

Mlm - sorry about AF but glad you and DH are together on this for this cycle. That should get your BFP for you!

Phez, I don't temp at all so I have no idea what it all means, but FX it equals a BFP for you in the next few days. And Jane too! I didn't get my line that could have been imaginary until 9DPO, and it got dark enough that it wasn't imaginary (but still very very faint) at 12DPO and that is when I got blood test at the doc to confirm it.
 
Mackjess its so nice to know other people worry as much as me. I felt fine(ish) up until today when I've been worrying sick about getting af tomorrow. If all goes ok tomorrow it will then be waiting until 5 weeks 3 days.

You're already 16 weeks! How is it going now? Are you relaxing now? Are you going to find out the sex of the baby?
 
Dang, I just posted a long response and accidentally deleted it. Ugh.

Bobster- sorry you're worrying. Can't wait til you get farther along and can relax!

Phez- I also have a good feeling for you, good luck with your testing.

Jane- glad you're back : ). Hope your test results are good. Also, don't apologize. I get jealous too, it's normal. It doesn't mean you're not happy for others, just that you want your bfp too. And you WILL get it!

Looks like I'm not leaving the thread... I like talking here and you are all so supportive.

I will do smep this cycle. Not sure what opks I'll use, but will definitely get them. I think I'll start cd 6, since I ovulated a little earlier this past cycle on cd 13. I definitely have a consistent 14 day lp which is nice to know. I think we timed things right last time, so I guess it's just luck whether everything works or not for us.
 
I recommend the smiley digi opks, they take the guesswork out of staring at lines although they are slightly more expensive. So glad you are sticking around! :)
 
Hurray! It's so nice to see all the posts today, thought I was gonna be all on my own there for a minute(don't feel I belong anywhere else!) And all your positive thoughts about the testing are so welcome.
Jane, I cant believe they dont test for progesterone! That's crazy! Maybe using the other markers they can work out if your p is low? Hope they uncover something that is easily sorted.
Thank you again for your support and vent away, I dont take it personally - it's a bumpy ride for all of us.
 
Are you coming up with any good baby boy names Mack? I'm a little name obsessed and love to see what others come up with!
 
Bobster-I am enjoying it a bit more. I think I've had less moments where I freak out or breakdown, but I still worry. And any time I enjoy it, I worry more like I jinxed myself. Stupid, I know. But I think I'll worry til he gets here.

And mlm, the name is Finian Patrick, Fin for short!

Gorgeous name, love Fin!
 
I'm stealing your idea and adding Finn to my boy name list now. Hehe
 
That's a great name choice, very Irish sounding.

I like Hudson for a boy but also Greg or Gregory (after dr house!- love that show!) Toby seems to be a very popular name in the uk- hearing it a lot lately.

I'd like something simple for a girl, Sophie is my first choice.
 
Dont worry phez its super early. Is your temp still high today? Fin is such a lovely name! Sophie was my top girls name too but Dan likes lily. I quite like Hannah too and harry for a boy :)

It's up and down as you can see in my chart, still above coverline. I won't mind if I don't get a pos this month, I will be gtted if my LP is still short though. That's what I'm really hoping for, a pos BFP would be amazing though of course.
Love Harry, hubby vetoed it as it's so popular 8-(
For a girl, I like Seren (Welsh name meaning "star" and very common in Wales). Bit out there but I like unusual names.
 
Hannah is a very pretty name.

Has af stayed away bobster? Did you visit your GP today?

Mrs phez, always disapointing to see bfn even when its still early. I'm hopeful for you though.
 
Af has stayed away but I've had horrible cramps at work today. I'm not sure if its because I've been on my feet for a long day (12 hours) or if its a bad sign. They've felt similar to af cramps and sometimes feel like they're near the ovaries also. Moderate in severity. I'm so worried about it as i'm sure I had cramps leading up to the mc. Arghh. GP said its fine as long as no bleeding, went yesterday. They didn't do any tests. OH is not being very supportive either. I feel like he's just not bothered :(
