I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

Got results bk rang hospital about bleed and they gave me them negative seems this is my period 15 days late

Well I'm back from my holiday - didn't really go according to plan.. Long story short, didn't weren't having a great time (family politics amongst others there creating a horrid atmosphere), and then we bailed midweek after finding out that my cousins kid might have chicken pox (or had at the very least been exposed recently and could have it) as i'm on immunosuppressants and it's not safe to for me to be around it. Instead we drove up to morecambe and visited my sister & her family and had a lovely time there. My niece (11months) is so cute!! So it all turned out OK in the end! Lots and lots of driving though - spent so much time in the car!

As for the 2ww, managed to distract myself pretty well. Got some spotting on Friday, but that stopped after a few hours. Then nothing bar the odd very slight cramp. However AF got me this morning (would have been CD28), so on to cycle 3! With any luck my cycle has now stabilised at 27 days, making the whole "am I late??" thing easier to judge!

Arthritis is still bothering me, but not as badly. Haven't phoned for my blood test results yet, too depressing. Will do it this week though.

More excitingly I have my pre-conception appointment with the Obstetrician this week, which i'm looking forward to. So many questions! Am feeling a bit down and low about the whole thing atm, frustrations of the arthritis mainly! Was so focused on getting to the ttc point I didn't really think about the reality of trying & failing each month while juggling my health. Am sure i'll feel better though once the arthritis calms down - often get a little low when my immune system is going batty! Hopefully the appt will make it all feel exciting and real again - didn't come this far to get all depressed & give up!!

Anyhow - HUGE congratulations to our new BFP getters! Absolutely fantastic news! Hopefully the beginnings of a run of BFPs for us all! :) Please do all stick around and share your excitement/journey with us!

So - updated stats below! Anyone from the top of the list with updates?

Haha don't worry boogies I'm sure my body will sort itself out when it's ready, it would be super lucky if we had done it first month... Think it's unlikely though...

Lugsie · 20/05/2011 14:57

Ooh loads of us due to test over the next week or so! Good luck girls!

Well for me I though af would be coming yesterday, as my past 3 cycles have all been 29-30 days, but af never came, and still isn't here today (today is CD32)... as I've said previously, I've been tracking my cycles using an app on my phone - the app reckons af will be coming tomorrow so I'm going to wait and see what tomorrow brings before testing. The only symptom I have now is slightly sore boobs but as we all know that could mean anything!

Going shopping later so debating whether to chuck a couple of tests into the trolley but don't want to jinx things! The only reason I've resisted testing so far is because I've made sure there are no tests in the house so I can't obsess - the waiting is driving me mad though!

peapop · 20/05/2011 13:18

Fingers crossed emma !!

4dpo here and have had strange crampy type feeling low down since yesterday evening. Sort of like af but a lot lighter and a feeling of pressure if you know what i mean?! also had major dizzy spell this morning to the point i thought i was going to faint!

Not sure if i'm just winding myself up to be fair and dp thinks i'm nuts! Grin

Levana · 20/05/2011 13:01

I am now at 7dpo, I am always so unconvinced that I am pregnant by this stage. The first few days after ov I'm ok but I think one to many BFNs have made me a pessismist, not been trying that long but it feels like it.

It feels like it is never going to happen, can't imagine how unreal it is going to feel if it does.

Every month I want to tweak my diet / lifestyle to try and increase my fertility. I don't know if it works but it manages my anxiety Grin. This month more advocados and hazelnut oil - yum yum.

BoogiesBunny · 20/05/2011 11:15

OppsI baby I didn't mean to imply that you were moaning! I meant that I was moaning! Sorry!

BoogiesBunny · 20/05/2011 11:14

Emma - everything is crossed for you!!!! It is a wonder that this baby making business is so up in the air a lot of the time.

CD18 here and I am completely with the person above who said that OV is such an optimistic time and then, immediately after it, I am completely consumed with thoughts of failure. It's not helped by the fact we planned to SWI (just to make sure we'd done our best) the last two nights but didn't as we have been so tired. I know it only takes once but I can't believe we would be so lucky (being the diligent, person I am I like to cover all bases!) and I'm now wondering if I got my OV date wrong (as who really knows!).

Moan moan moan - baby you'll be up and running in the next few days I'm sure as AF does seemt to make us wait a little when we are waiting for her (unless you've been super lucky!).

babybrain3 · 19/05/2011 22:47

I'm really fed up, it's been a month now since I had my coil taken out and we started swi, apart from slight spotting a couple of days after having it taken out, ive had no sign of AF at all... Would really like it to come once so that I can at least know when to expect the next one or not....

Congrats to all the BFPs!!!! I'm sure it won't be too long before were all in the same boat, up the creek without a paddle. Its the getting there that's the problem!!!

emmaloupolman · 19/05/2011 18:03

UPDATE

I am cd40 now and went for my blood test this morning at the hospital its just a waiting game now till they come back
Fingers crossed for me everyone

eurochick · 19/05/2011 11:30

Well that was odd. I just had to run to the toilets to retch. I am never sick. But according to my chart I am pre-ov. No LH surge yet, no EWCM (eugh, don't want to think of that right now) and no temp rise.

I guess I must have eaten something dodgy, but that normally just gives me an upset stomach. I am a rare vommer.

BunMyOven · 19/05/2011 09:48

Thank you Peapop and Wouldbe! I really hope I'm setting a trend too! Would be so lovely. Will stick around if you don't mind to keep up with all the news Smile xx

wouldbemumandotherstuff · 18/05/2011 21:09

fantastic news bun!!!! congratulations!!! let's hope you set a trend!! Smile

peapop · 18/05/2011 16:15

Hi ladies! Haven't been on here for a good while!

Congratulations bun and to any other BFPs I missed!!! Grin

I'm currently on 2dpo and am symptom spotting already! Sore boobs (although did get that last month too), couple of dizzy spells, lower back ache... gah! I'm going to be a right pain for this 2ww aren't i!! Blush

I've already convinced myself it's ok to test around 10dpo so good to read about your BFP bun !
