Well I fell off another bus and rather than wait around for the next one I thought I would get another going myself. So have stocked it up with cake, Wine - for the first 2 weeks and Brew - for the 2ww'ers :)

Hoping it will be a lucky bus for lots of us - and I might have a birthday baby :)

Liliana (31) ttc#1 ucl 28 af due 26th March

(I have left out the CD as it is never up to date and all we really want to know is when are people testing!)

Sorry to hear this, Morningcoffee. Be kind to yourself and try again. Maybe next month will be the one xx

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 05/07/2011 20:58

I really feel for you morning, hope next month brings you a little bean that sticks around.

Oh crikey Byrnsie, I'm starting to feel a bit nervous about testing now - I think it's because last time I was pg I really "felt" pg and also had consistent low level nausea from conception onwards but I don't have any of that right now so I feel I'll probably just be seeing "not pregnant" on there.

I do, however, have sore boobs, mass spot outbreak and even cried about the invalid lady who waves out the window to Thomas when reading ds's bedtime story (saddo!) so you never know... hope springs eternal til the fat aunty sings and all that.

Oh morning I am so sorry to hear that Sad Look after yourself.

180 · 05/07/2011 18:37

I'm exactly the same. Am feeling grumpy, eating everything in sight, which is classic pmt for me but was sure earlier was having symptoms. Not so sure now!

Byrnsie30 · 05/07/2011 18:05

Heya morning so sorry to hear your news. I felt the same after mine - determined to chilax a bit and not to test before AF due date. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for advice 180. Think I'm driving myself mad wondering if it's AF or PG. Whilst I think it's good not to test too early, it would certainly stop me second guessing my body!!!

Jebel · 05/07/2011 15:54

sorry to hear that morning. That happened to me last month. I know it is really hard but I tried to take it as a positive thing - that I can get pregnant as that is half the battle. Hope you are ok.

Byrnsie hope you are enjoying your holiday.

MorningCoffee · 05/07/2011 14:26

Hi all hope everyone is ok, just an update from me, it all ended yesterday for us and i have had a chemical pregnancy Sad was in soo much pain yesterday but it has eased a bit today, am just grateful that it happened very early on. Have now decided it will happen when it happens and am just going to relax about the whole TTC as i stressed myself out alot the last month+.

Goodluck to everyone & my advice is dont test before your af is due.

180 · 05/07/2011 13:32

Thanks Byrnsie. I think that heavy tunny can also be if bowels are a bit slow which can happen during pmt and pregnancy? Lots of water may help. I feel different since the BFN even though it was too early to test. Silly of me :(

Byrnsie30 · 05/07/2011 10:17

Jebel I am on holiday too and trying not to wish it away!!!

Byrnsie30 · 05/07/2011 10:12

Heya Jebel and Mycat looks like we might all be testing Thursday, if AF stays away. I was sure she would arrive in the middle of the night, but nothing so far (touch wood, fx etc etc!!)

In anyones experience can you get that pre-menstral heavy tummy and legs when early PG?

180 as far as I know FR works 4-5 days before AF due date (don't know what DPO that would be?!) DPO is, as you said, Days Past Ovulation :)

mungojerrie · 04/07/2011 22:21

Hope I am okay to join those waiting impatiently to test. we are ttc no 2 and I have another week to go before I should test. Days are dragging....!!

MyCatLikesToHideInBoxes · 04/07/2011 20:40

I too have to admit to now being totally obsessed getting impatient.

I'm not even sure if we hit the right window this month but now symptom spotting at every opportunity (boobs are so sore right now...) and having to stop myself rushing out to find a stick to pee on even though it would be utterly pointless just yet!

Not entirely sure whether I ov'd when I think I did but I have ordered 2 CB digi tests from Amazon and think I might test on thursday. Fingers xd for all those testing in the next week... Smile

180 · 04/07/2011 19:48

Evening all. Foolishly did a cripplingly expensive FR test today. Is DPO days post ovulation? I think that won't be me til the 12th!! When might the first response work?

Jebel · 04/07/2011 19:45

I know byrnsie so not easy. You are being v good not testing.

I just had not spotting but (tmi) a slight discolouring so hoping it could be implantation. I know probably nothing at all but ......

I don't want the week to rush by as am on hols but am the most impatient person ever!

Byrnsie30 · 04/07/2011 18:56

Just watching One Born - to add to my obsessing!!

Byrnsie30 · 04/07/2011 18:55

Heya all,

Jebel I will be 16 DPO on 7th, but TBH I feel like AF might be on her way. No pain, but just that heavy tummy feeling, but I hope not! Hmm

modern I've had a couple of Chems myself and drive myself nuts everytime I get AF wondering if it's a chem!!!

The truth will out in the next couple of days for me!!! Tense!

modernvickyp · 04/07/2011 15:07

Horseygirl and Brynsie thanks for your advice. I think that I am probably overreacting!

Have made pact with OH that we will DTD on all the relevant days this month and then if we aren't upduffed then we'll go to see the Doctor. I'm 35 and TTC #1 so time is somewhat of the essence!

Jebel · 04/07/2011 14:42

modern I had a chemical pg and had a much heavier period afterwards. It is the thick lining of the womb being shed at this early stage so if a chemical pg could be a good sign that your body is capable of creating a nice comfy bed for the emby. All a bit uncertain, could just be an odd month as horsey says.

Byrnsie I think I will probably test on 7th although is only 12dpo but I know I can't help myself. Usually I have a big temp dip so know that AF is coming. This month am taking progesterone supplement which should finish on 9th so won't get my AF as early as I usually do.

HorseyGirl1 · 04/07/2011 13:48

Maybe just an 'odd' one, periods can vary, some months are longer or heavier than others. I never really noticed this until I started TTC but it is the case. Last month was quite heavy for me too for some odd reason and the month before that was quite painful - more so than normal - so maybe both of these are a good sign for the next month's go? xx

modernvickyp · 04/07/2011 11:13

AF got me at the weekend so guess it is on the the April bus. I had convinced myself that my boobs were sore and I was feeling nauseous (it woke me up on Friday morning) and am sure I was not imaging it. Then AF came and decided I was being over ambitious! However, having bad period pains yesterday and today (don't normally get much at all) and have been through 2 super tampsons since 0700hrs this morning! Is this another chemical, some sort of clear out, MC? Not sure what to do. Sitting at work and not able to concentrate. Any advice gratefully received!

Byrnsie30 · 04/07/2011 10:13

above supposed to say Crazy!!!

Byrnsie30 · 04/07/2011 09:32

That's great meconium - CB are great (although not used their OV sticks yet)

Sorry AF got you Carzy and Orange

I'm in Limbo like you Jebel. I can't really test 'til 7th July and have no real symptoms at the mo! When are you testing?

Jebel · 03/07/2011 22:43

Wow - so many bfps, congrats all! I have no symptoms at all of anything. Ovulated v early and only managed to swi once so not hopeful, will probably test at weekend.

orangehead · 03/07/2011 21:55

Af got me today. April bus for me now Sad
