New Year 2012 babies

[jfor3]

How are things with you, jfor3?

I'm in that 2ww limbo - I'm 10dpo so am waiting for or to test. I've been really tired but other than that no symptoms - I'm trying to ignore them anyway I've been fooled before!

Kimbre & Rivetkitten - I know exactly what you both mean - I've had every symptom in the book/+opks etc and still got AF at the end of the cycle, so it's difficult to allow yourself to become too optimistic. I miss the good old days, about a year ago, where I still got some excitment in the 2ww!!

Lissa & schoolteacher - sorry to hear you think the may be on her way. to you both.

12yrsttc - I don't know how much it would be affected being out of date - I would do another one, just in case.

Kimbre- I dont think the spotting is normal with out the this late in the cycle. However when I went to fill out my charts (which I didnt do yesterday because I was bummed) I noticed that the night before the spotting showed up the hubby and I had more in 1 night then we have in a while and it was a little more aggresive then normal (sorry tmi).

So needless to say I think I may have the tinyest chance that it isnt the witch but just some spots.

Rivet- I am glad to hear about your opk. Just try and keep up the pma and maybe this month will be yours plus get alot of in!!

Schoolteacher- I am sorry that the witch may get you this month just think that maybe next month youll get preggers!

12ysttc- I always have irregular cycles and that sounds like what I end up going through. How are your cycles usually normal or about irregular?

Ao30- How are you doing?

To everyone

Well, tomorrow is 7DPO for me, so I'll be heading off to have bloods drawn. I have absolutely no faith in this 2WW. Not being pessimistic, just realistic. I don't feel excited or even anxious. Next week I have an appointment with my new practice... I hope I like them, and more importantly, I hope they can start giving me some answers!

Lissa, fingers crossed for you!

Someone needs to have a January baby

 

[Kimbre]

lissa- thats good! FX for you! im breaking out again and AF is due in 3 days =( im sure she will be here on time.

 

[Rivetkitten]

Kimbre... I hate it when your body starts to do the run up for Af and you know she's on her way. My temp was up for ages last month and I really thought I was in with a chance and then like a house of cards it all just started to fall apart.

ao30: People say it's pessimism. But I don't think it is either. Just the knowledge that if 100% of your previous cycles have ended in AF the likelihood of this being any different when it doesn't feel any different is slim to none. Being positive and excited each month, building up your hopes.. it's an awful crash when you have to do it for more than 12 months.

jfo3: I hate limbo. Where your body tries to fool you and then it turns out that there is nothing. Bad body.

We've had lots of eligible events this month. I've actually taken a step back from it too and really enjoyed it. DH seems to have taken a step up actually and seems determined to catch the egg. Which has been interesting.

 

[Kimbre]

figures, BFN at 12 DPO.
broken out... AF is coming.

Rivetkitten I so know what you mean about the temps! it's really hard to seeing them fall slowly or crash quickly! it upsets me more than AF actually arriving. Probably because by the time AF arrives we have already accepted it's over. I'd almost rather just wait for AF, and I may not temp this cycle, or perhaps just in the middle to confirm ov.

 

[schoolteacher]

Hey everyone! well AF has arrived in full force! There was barely nothing this morning and by the time I got to school it had soaked through the pad, my knickers and trousers!! (bloody pads -I used to use tampons but switched because the chinese believe they stop free flow) never ever had it happen that bad before! had a change of clothes for PE thank goodness. It's so heavy! could literally feel it today all day, weird!
Oddly enough im less upset this month than last month, don't know why, think im just tired of of it all.
But........good news!!!! we went to see a different doctor and he referred us instantly! (the other doctor has kept us hanging on for months and didnt even seem to know the criteria)
any how the letter came through yesterday which I though was quick! appointment is 23rd june which is also less of a wait then I thought it would be!!

ao30-hope the bloods went well? when do you get results?

jfor3-FX for you!

kimbre and lisa -thanks so much for your comments!!!x Hope I haven't missed anyone!
xxxxxxxxx

Schoolteacher - that's great news about the new doctor - I'm glad you decided to change GPs. Sorry about AF but hopefully with a new doctor, who is being proactive, then things may start moving in the right direction.

Kimbre - sorry about the BFN

 

[lissa110]

Schoolteacher- Congrats that your new doctor is willing to get you in now and not waiting it is great news. Do have Always infinity pads there? I have to use pads because my flow is sooo heavy most months and tampons NEVER work! Infinity pads I found work tons better then regular pads.

Kimbre- Sorry about BFN, maybe the hcg level is just to low for you still. As long as AF doesnt show.

 

[Traskey]

STeacher, that's great news about the referral. Finally. So glad the other doc was prepared to do something!

AFM, and got me, as usual. Took it rather hard, so had a couple of days break from here.

to all of you still hoping for Jan babies

 

[Kimbre]

schoolteacher- sorry AF showed!

yes yes we will see if my AF shows. but im almost 100% ill be seeing her as usual. ugh

 

[jfor3]

Traskey - so sorry about AF

 

[Rivetkitten]

Traskey -
Schoolteacher... sorry AF got you too.

 

[schoolteacher]

Thanks for the comments everyone! sorry to all who have AF -and Traskey hope you are feeling ok now? its funny how some months hit you harder than others-I was more upset last cycle than this cycle for some reason.x

Can I do a quick poll? how long on average does your period last for?
Im worried that my lining doesn't get thick enough for implantation to occur as my periods normally only last 2 and a half-3 days at a push. However this cycle it only lasted a day and a half!? friday and half of saturday. Nothing by saturday evening. This is the shortest I have ever had!
The lady who I have started seeing for acupuncture says periods need to be around 5 days? this means the lining was thick enough.

Thought it would be interesting to compare our period lengths and any info anyone has would be great too!Thanks!x

 

[Traskey]

Mine are usually 5/6 days. I do think yours sounds a little short but i'm no expert.

 

[Kimbre]

Mine are around 5 days

 

[Rivetkitten]

Mine lasts between 3-5 days. Normally days 4/5 are just light brown discharge though. My lining is fine though. I know because I had scans done just before AF was due a couple of months ago and it was 9mm apparently. Which is nice and healthy so I've been told.

 

[Kimbre]

AF showed up for me. im out. good luck ladies. and congrats to all the s

 

[schoolteacher]

Rivetkitten-9mm does sound good!x
