Ooooh a daughter how lovely . Its great news

 

[crysshae]

Congratulations Tilly!

Jo - Your chart is looking so good compared to your last few. Did you do anything different?

Becks - Did you use the other brand test today?

Regina - Why do you have to wait until after your smear? I remember you mentioning it, but the reason has slipped my mind.

 

[josie1234]

Woo hoo Tilly that is so great!!!!! So excited for you.

crystal - I have been so lapsed on ttc (temp taking, POAS, etc) so maybe it's that, not being stressed. Oh and I have registered to do spartan race so that will just guarantee BP lol. I have randomly taken Maca, agnus castus, zinc and menopace but not daily. Once in a while when I remember. Menopace to try to help my mood swings. We will see eh?

Fantastic news Tilly , can't believe you are half way.

What do you have already?

 

[crysshae]

Jo - It very well may be due to not stressing about it. Good luck!

Congratulations Tilly! Xxx
afm bfn on all tests today so it was indeed dodgy tests I think. Cramps are gone now lasted two days. I guess there's a chance but im not feeling it and I always know so oh well maybe next time xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Crystal hope you dont mind me asking your age and how long to fall with this lo. Ive got a memory like a seive xxx

 

[crysshae]

I'm 40. Will be 41 in exactly a month. My oldest turned 22 today. We started trying in April 2013. After 2 miscarriages last year, I had a chemical in January and stopped testing early. This was my 6th cycle ( in 4 months) following that as I had those couple of really really short cycles in there.

I'm sorry about the dodgy tests. Those suck!

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you im a bit older than you but it gives me hope. I think I really need to stop testing early as you did especially with ics. I have one branded test left which ill use if af is late but other than that no more ics they were so convincing and so sad that it was all fake xxx

 

[MrsDiaz]

omg!did u you test today?! oasis

 

[crysshae]

Yeah...I had a few ICs that did that to me in the past. I never bought anymore after my 2nd miscarriage, and once I had the chemical showing on FRERs and AF arrived on time, I just didn't want to get my hopes up like that again. So I vowed to only test if AF was late. It was hard some cycles, but I kept telling myself no. I did really well until this one, but only tested a day early when I just couldn't ignore the symptoms any longer.

 

[MrsDiaz]

oh wowww well im hoping this is the month for me!

 

[Oasis717]

Yes Mrs Diaz all neg today xxx
Crystal I totally agree and from next month will be doing exactly the same. Fed up of disappointment xxxx

 

[MrsDiaz]

oh hunny, im sorry. it wil happen. :/

 

[MrsDiaz]

im 7dpo and i bought a dollar test, should i test tomorrow? last pregnancy i didn't get a positive until 23 dpo ifi remember.

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks that is awful bloody ics !!! And what's with the negative your still a spring chicken my dear !!! Lots of ttc time left , years in fact lol !!! Your my role model so ya have to deliver lol ( think your about 6 months older than me I'm 42 in November .

Crystal have to wait for results of smear as tested positive for abnormal cells in 2012 . Was preg before results came back , then had mc and before had time to test again was preg again this time for 9 months !! Midwife in hospital told me to definetly get it checked out before getting pg again in case I needed treatment as cannot get it done when pg . So here is hoping it was a one off and ill be good to go

 

[MrsDiaz]

Having my own family means so much to me I dont have grandparents, no aunt or uncles and no parents (all deceased) and I dont have siblings. I only have my hubby
