I think I ovulated on CD19. Due to DH work commitments we only managed SWI once but that was on CD19. I know a BFP is still possible but we did only do it once.

It's too early to test but I have all my hopes of a BFP running through my head and symptom spotting. My body has been cruel in the past though and got my hopes up only for AF to appear.

However, this evening I am feeling quite nauseous and have had feelings like ligament pulling in my abdomen. Also slightly tender boobs.

I'm 8dpo and just want the next week to be over so I know!!!

Feel better for getting that out!

Sorry to hear about the BFN girls Sad I really can't believe it with some of the symptoms some of you have - I felt sure there would be some good news on here this morning. Fingers crossed for some BPF soon - hopefully its just still too early. xxx

maybebabyR · 23/02/2011 08:30

Morning everyone, sorry for your BFNs.

I too woke up to a BFN, so have given up hope for this month. Still no sign of AF and to add insult to injury, I still feel rotten!

Hole we see a BFP somewhere soon x

goingmadtrying · 23/02/2011 08:26

Sorry ladies For your bfns hopefully they will change. I resisted the urge to poas this morning as still only 7 dpo will try and hold off until the weekend :)

hartey · 23/02/2011 08:18

BFN here - I don't mind but I really would just like another cycle to start so we at least can have another bite of the cherry!

BlueCrane · 23/02/2011 08:05

Well...BFN here I'm afraid! I'm sold on the benefits of the internet cheapies though...makes the POAS experience and BFN SO much better as I wasn't annoyed that I'd peed on £5 and got a bfn! I've also managed to get my pee pots sorted and feel good that I am 'recycling' too...have been saving my plastic water cups from the drinking fountain at work...perfect pee pots and I can throw each one away after use Grin.

AF could be due friday or up to next weds due to cycle confusion last month, so will just keep POAS for the next week I think!!

How's everyone else testing this morning?

Loup23 · 23/02/2011 08:04

BFN here...not giving up hope just yet but dwindling...hoping someone sees a BFP please. Good luck x

goingmadtrying · 23/02/2011 07:33

Come on ladies let's have some bfp's this morning Grin

Loup23 · 22/02/2011 22:56

bluecrane welcome to the loony bin 2ww, hope you jump onboard testing tomorrow and hope at least one of us gets a BFP! I too have internet cheapies and have had to improvise a 'pot by taking the lid of a body spray! Nice. Have read mixed views as to their accuracy but saves a tenner down the loo everytime I get a bfn, I'm just looking for the smallest faint line.... Anyway good luck all.

hartey 42days with no af or bfp just cruel, hope a test tomoroow shows bfp

Baby dust to all us girls, night x (crazy now turning to cyber friends to say goodnight!)

hartey · 22/02/2011 22:17

Hope so SpareRoomSleeper - it's about the only one I have!

SpareRoomSleeper · 22/02/2011 21:57

All, is feeling extremely whacked out knackered tired a good, reliable symptom ???

BlueCrane · 22/02/2011 18:57

Hello all...can I join the 2ww insanity?! AF could be due on friday or next wednesday. I came off the pill in October and had 30 day cycle from Nov - Dec but then 35 days from Dec - Jan so who knows this month!? Before I was on the pill I was very regular (from what i can remember!) so will just have to wait and see! Last month I was convinced I was PG but all BFN's and then AF 5 days after I was expecting her Angry. After spending a fortune on peesticks last month i have a bag of internet cheapies that I may christen in the morning and join with the others on here testing then! Smile Am just a bit nervous as they're the dipstick kind which presumably means peeing into a pot of some kind?! - anyone used these before and can advise?

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 18:51

Thanks loup and bump, fingers crossed for you too loup

Think it may be a long night Smile

hartey · 22/02/2011 18:39

That's the thing Loup in the last five months my cycle has been about 29-35 days - so this cycle is just taking the biscuit.

I am off work tomorrow so think I will test - I have one going spare so why not!

Loup23 · 22/02/2011 18:31

hartey sorry to hear about your long cycle, do they normally last that long? Maybe test FMU every other day...? Good sign that there's no AF, threads on here have said some people take longer to get a BFP.. Hope one comes your way! Maybe test with me and maybe tomorrow?

hartey · 22/02/2011 18:22

I am weighing up whether to test tomorrow or not! I am off on a bit of a night out on Saturday and don't want to do any damage that I could regret!

I am just so frustrated at the moment - my decision was to start charting after Christmas and so I did from 12th Jan when AF last arrive - now I am on D42 of that particular cycle - I did get an LH surge on the OPK in early Feb - but still no BFP or AF.

Why is my body crying out for me to have another baby only to have my cycle go haywire!

Whoops - sorry I ranted again Blush

PS MY EDD would be Nov 2nd!

Loup23 · 22/02/2011 17:24

short not hort!

Loup23 · 22/02/2011 17:24

Really keeping everything crossed maybe, mine's 7th November..... Smile

I normally have a hort 10 day LP so am expecting AF any time from tomorrow until Monday so I too will be running to the loo every 5 mins!

As usual I will be testing tomorrow....anyone else? Hope to see a BFP on here! Good luck all x

Bumpwanted · 22/02/2011 17:16

Loup I think a lot of it is supposed to be good yes!

Maybe if you get your BFP tomorrow you will have your baby before me!

So we know Maybe is testing tomorrow, who else is going to give it another shot? Have fingers and toes crossed for you!

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 15:56

Loup I am exactly the same as you (30th October if you're wonderingBlush

But then I freak out and run to the loo every 10 mins Smile

I am normally such a calm and rational person too!! Fingers crossed for you loup

And bump you will be great on Thursday, and it will really out your mind at rest Smile

Loup23 · 22/02/2011 15:49

maybe thanks for the FMU update, I wasn't sure what that was. Yes makes sense to try when the hormone is likely to be stronger but at least you're past the AF date, that's the first step! I've got everything crossed for you!

So glad that you guys are strangers so we can talk openly and freely about CM and such like! I also have a lot more than usual....is this a good sign? Am so up and down, one minute planning due date etc (loon), the next thinking it will never happen - it really helps having this forum though, i'm driving DH crazy!

Good luck Thursday bump am sure it will go well and you'll get the BFP confirmed with a due date

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 14:54

Haha, thank you so much! But just think how much more you will appreciate them in 9 months time!!

It'll be like when you're 15 and get drunk really quickly Grin

Bumpwanted · 22/02/2011 14:53

Awwh I can totally understand that. I am feeling positive for you though and if worst comes to worst I will make you a list of all the things you can enjoy for one more month (I have been giving that a lot of thought these past couple of days!!) to make you feel a bit better.

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 14:50

Haha, I will deny all knowledge if you do.....

There is a lot of it, strange for me too. I know lots of people have said they got cramps which they mistook for AF.

I just don't want to be disappointed, and have a horrible feeling I am going to be Sad

Bumpwanted · 22/02/2011 14:48

Oh right!! Well that is sensible to wait until tomorrow. Depends on if you want to potentially put the wait to an end!

Have you checked your ehem CM Blush ...god what an awful thing to be writing to a stranger about on the internet! Apparently its supposed to be quite a lot and it was with me whereas it usually wouldn't be before my period....now shaking head....this conversation never happened!!

maybebabyR · 22/02/2011 14:44

I do have a wet feeling, that was why I though AF might have started, but hasn't!

I didn't know what FMU was, it's first morning urine. Hormone levels are higher then, and more likely to give an accurate result Smile
