End Sept/Beg Oct Space Shuttle - the first 2012 conceptions!!

Oh well fingers cross Pipbin, that sounds really promising to me!

I am on CD 37 and have no idea what the fiddlestick is going on. Have had some spotting and lots of cramps today though, so think I'm out. Have also had roughly 1 x million BFNs, each more heartbreaking than the last. I just want AF to arrive so we can start a new cycle.

Positive things if AF arrives: I can have wine at a hen do I'm going to in Feb, I'll know for sure one way or the other, DH and I can get back on the SWI bandwagon.

Pipbin I don't have any wisdom to add unfortunately. Fx for you anyway. Do your cycles vary? If that was me, I would start getting hopes up because I am like clockwork.

No af for me today (due tomorrow), but zero symptoms. Felt very periody yesterday and today feeling very grumpy with dh. Poor thing, I think I am displacing my grumpiness on him by demanding he stop being such a grump.

Note to self to be nicer to him as the day progresses.

okay, here is me with positive head on. I have been reading the 'due in sep 2012' thread to see how they are getting on. It really reminded me how exhausting the first trimester is. All the ms is very draining and I think my memories of it all are rather blurred. So now i have reminded myself that every month I don't get bfp is a month I need to pack with all the things I won't have energy for after. Eg sorting out my piles of paperwork, setting up website for a project I have on, beginning some sort of tame fitness routine etc.

Will get the max out of every month before bfp. Yes indeed.

Anyone else got jobs they can get out of the way if they get another month before bfp?

Well Tuesday I had spotting Thursday Friday and a tiny bit Saturday, which was 9, 10 and 11 dpo.

I'll leave it until Tuesday to test again. Monday is just too busy and AF would be well overdue by then.

Pipbin I think CBD can give quite late results, so you could try tomorrow with one that gives an earlier result (superdrug own brand I think meant to be good!) I'm saving my CBDs for when I've already had a BFN with something else! Good luck, it all sounds promising. Although I think it needs to be at LEAST 48 hours after implantation for even the very very earliest test to work. Should really be more than 3 days after to get a result. When was suspected implantation?

So, spotting has stopped and no AF.
Used a passing OPK and got a faint line. Normally I get nothing, I know some women get a line all month.
I then used the same FMU for a clear blue digital which told me BFN.
AF is due today and nothing so far.

Any thoughts ladies?

blue I feel I am not the best example to follow. Bought my tests today as planned and then promptly used one in the loo at work. Bfn!

So much for willpower! Not upset. I think I believe the bfn as I really have no proper symptoms. Will refrain from further testing unless af hasn't arrived by tues. I know I will stick to it this time.

About being more fertile straight after coming off pill, I know someone who got her bfp the first month after stopping the pill. Happened with her dc2 too.

Sorry about af optimum. Sorry that you're so gutted

Aaahpushit, please could you add me?

Thereisalight ttc dc3 cycle 1 af due 23 jan

Hello all, well congrats to all the BFPs. :)
I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today I must admit. Been feeling abit sick the last couple of days and so didn't doit last night and now tonight dh says he doesn't feel like it! I have no idea when I'm ovulating but just got a feeling it's probably this weekend and probably missed our window of opportunity.
Oh well, maybe try tomorrow in the hope...

Prunella I came off the pill in my early 20s, 2wks later after literally one accident I conceived... It didn't work out but with the same man (now DH) and we concieved straight away with my DD (again without actually trying, more just 'not caring') so not sure if its just us or whether it was the pill... However, now on 2nd cycle for #2 so we'll see if putting the swimmers in the right place at hopefully the right time this month works... Over 10 years since the accidental pg, so things could have changed I guess.

Good luck with your efforts though!!

Pru the spotting started 9dpo so I am still clinging to the hope of it being implantation.

~TMI ALERT~
I use a menstrual cup and was so convinced yesterday that AF was going to arrive this morning that I popped it in before going to bed last night. This morning there was a little brown spotting but nothing all day today.

I've ordered a basal thermometer today as I intend to start temping if this spotting turns into AF. If the law of sod come into play I shan't need it.

congrats winnie and peppa

pipbin could it possibly be an implantation bleed as you mentioned it wasn't so many days past ov??

mrsmellow waiting until i've got another month's cycle info before i take it to the Dr - i need to go armed with facts and figures as i fear not being taken seriously.
I too thought after so many years on the pill it might be a struggle but when i mentioned this concern before i came off (at the start of August too) i was told breezily that often women are most fertile immediately after coming off the pill - no other information. i've not heard of anyone yet who fitted this picture of conceiving straight off the pill.
i'll be following your progress - and i'll let you know how things pan out.

Congratulations Peppa too.

I'm not far behind you Piggyboo as AF has finally buggered off & we've been busy 'wink wink' this afternoon (TMI, sorry!!) & will be giving it all we've got this month in the hope of baby #2 from cycle #2...

Fingers crossed for more BFPs here.

congratulations peppa and winnie x

I'm 5 days away from the dreaded 2ww so plan to relax and have while i still can, before i become an obsessed neurotic mess for a fortnight. Good luck to everyone still waiting for their BFPs :)

Congratulations to Peppa and Winnie

I'm still on the shuttle on a technicality. I have spotting but not AF......yet.

Congratulations, Winnie and Peppa.
Good luck to all with their pregnancies.

I am out, AF got me just now. Gutted. :(

congratulations Winnie and Peppa.

Congrat Peppa and Winnie! :o

So I gave up and tested this morning and it was still a BFN...still no AF either and 3 days overdue now.

I have now decided (just like you thereis) that I am not going to test now until Tuesday if AF hasn't arrived (I wonder if I will stick to that )

time for me to disembark i think - AF has made her appearance.

Ho hum, it was only our first month of trying so I will try not to get too fed up...

totally confused about my cycle now though - that was a long luteal phase, and i thought it wasnt supposed to vary? or maybe i just got dates of ov all wrong. i didnt do any charting or temps, just keeping an eye on ewcm so its not very scientific

Congrats Peppa and Winnie!

Lol thereis! I have had a bit of cramping but no spotting or anything.

I'm trying not to test till Monday when AF is due but the test kit is calling at me from my bedside cabinet! Must resist! This weekend is painful. Congrats on all the BFPs

In fact have decided I willbe strong and wait. I have no reason to believe I am preggers and wouldnt be that disappointed if af comes because it's only our first month of ttc. In fact we only dtd once during the right days so it very unlikely.

Will set myself target of not testing until tomorrow. Once I cross that bridge I will set new target of Monday. Take each day one at a time.

I sound like a junkie!

And did you use fmu?

Winnie you are a bad influence. You are making me waver!

Did you have amy other symptoms before you tested?

Thereis - I intended to wait till AF was at least due or till AF was late but instead a superdrug test 4 days early!

Ooooh peppa! Congratulations! Why does that make me feel like my odds just went up?!

Great news Winnie A line is a line is a line!

I have decided that I'll pick up some superdrug tests later today while at work. Did intend to wait until Tuesday if af not arrived by then. Hope I'll stick to it.
