The rat smacketeers are brooking no argument!! All for one BFP and one BFP for all!

Oh Shiny it's so tough isn't it. If it happens again this cycle, I would take yourself off to the GP for their advice.

It's great news about Far and Pop and Munx we have had a little flurry of late, I feel we are deserving of another flurry soon....

Just seen news re farfalla - amaze balls!

Thank you maybe. Symptoms have been very sore back and horrible AF cramps on what I think is implantation day. Aversion to wine from day 26 (most strange). Bfps on day 28 and then AF starting either 24 or 49 hours later - gah!
I was driving myself mad testing last year so now very strict and only testing on day AF due. However, this month I'm going to test from day 24 (with Internet cheapies) just to see out of interest when a bfp appears

Shiny I wouldn't worry yourself over this. Day 11 would be fine for feeling implantation I think. Did you have any other symptoms?

Sparks sounds like you're going to have an amazing day! Very jealous of you being woo'd, sounds lovely

Oh phew sparkle - I think I luffs you! You've really out my mind at rest. But if you have 28 day cycle and implantation is 14 days post ovulation, AF could be just about to start. So annoying

Sorry - being unclear. I ovulate on or around day 14 (per opk to verify) them I think I only feel what might be implantation cramps on day 25 or 26 of my cycle (I.e 11 to 12 days post ovulation) I'm worried that as I have a 28 day cycle, this is a bit late in the day.

However I could be completely clutching at straws. W
However, it's happened 2 months in a row so praying in my mind. Not googled as worried I'll find out that I have some progesterone problem and freak myself out!

Yes - post ovulation. Now worrying that this is too close to AF day ( as would be). Not consulted dr google so this could, of course, be nuts!

Hi Shiny welcome back. So sorry to hear you have been having a tough time of it at the moment. When you say day 11-12, do you mean after ovulation?

Hi everyone.

Can I creep back in? Not been on for a few weeks as work being mad. In the interim, have had what looks like two chemical pregnancies. Trying not worry about it but feeling a bit disheartened amend worried something is wrong.

I have 28 day cycles and feel (could be imagining) implantation cramps around day 11 or 12 and worried that's too late in the cycle.

Hope you're all well. Off to catch up

Oh Cups I am so sorry to hear that, it does sound like a chemical. As the others say though, it is a step closer to a full on sticky BFP. Look after yourself today x

That does sound strange Scarlett

Bean maybe your lady is right, a step in the right direction? Another 'healthy DH' cycle, and that BFP will be yours.

Little hope that boilers ok today. Was much damage done to the car?

How you feeling today Pops?

Imps I jokingly suggested DH should become a house husband. The look on his face was priceless

Back to the GP yesterday, eyes still infected, and throat is now badly infected. Strong course of antibiotics and more eye drops prescribed. I wish Otis understood so he could let me stay in bed. Unfortunately he is deciding to have a made one and bunny hop all over the sofas. If he wasn't so cute....

What are everyone's weekend plans?

Meant to say hope you all have a lovely weekend brookers!

Oh Cups I thought it sounded like a chemical. I'm so sorry, it sucks . However, like Bean says, sperm is meeting egg so it's only a matter of time before you get one that burrows in and gets comfy. I know how disappointing it is to be so close though, big hugs to you.

Great news about Too on the grads thread too, what a busy 24 hours. Purple is next I think. We need to get filling those gaps ladies!

Umm has anyone else read the ttc month one thread? Op reckons she dtd on cd6 and now got BFP a week later? Am I the one who thinks this smells a little of BS?

Oh Cupcakes - how supremely disappointing. But hopefully a sort of boost - you are getting there and surely a sticky bean is in the wings? Must be v frustrating for you though.

My acupuncturist tried to pass off my early AF (very dark blood, which is a bit unusual) as some kind of fertilisation but no implantation. I'm not convinced but didn't even test so won't ever know. Actually I suspect an annovulatory cycle myself...

I really hope SWI goes well for you this month. Here's to your BFP.

Evening all,

So exciting about Biscuits baby boy, it doesn't feel so long since her BFP.

Little what a rubbish day, hope you and DH have a nice weekend after all that.

Imps I'm very cross at AF on your behalf. I'll be having a word about her despicable behaviour of late

I can't remember anything else that's been said

I didnt mention it last night as it felt a bit wrong while Biscuits was in labour but I'm quite sure I had a chemical pregnancy. The bleeding stopped yesterday evening for a few hours so I took another test to torture myself even more it had a faint positive. The bleeding then started again and has been like a normal AF since. I retested today and it was negative. I've felt a bit down today but it's made me even more determined to get my BFP this month.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Oh Imps - that's just crap isn't it? Why oh why. As ever, you bowl me over with your positive attitude.

Great about Biscuits - so that's DS2 for her is it, or did she have a DD first time round?

Scarlett - have to admit I was one of those weird women who loved pregnancy and birth, although I wonder if I'd be quite so exuberant second time round while looking after my LO. I know a couple of women who have found it much harder with second/third pgs.

Pop - you get that 9 months leave if you can and have a ball. Surely all long-term TTCers should get longer mat leave?!

Little - sounds quite a shocker of a day. I'm betting you're glad it's over.

Hi everyone

I'm knackered today, we had emergency gas man out at midnight as we could smell gas when we went to bed, and ended up having a new meter fitted in the middle of the night as there was a leak! And then someone drove in to dp's car this morning (he wasn't in it, it was parked outside house). Not a great start to the day!

Sorry to not remember what everyone wrote, but me head's not screwed on tonight. I'll try and catch up properly tomorrow.

xx

(oh, very exciting about all the goings-on on the grads thread)

Luckily I earn much less than DH so it's a non-subject :o

His holiday runs April-April though so he's going to save a lot of it til after I pop in October

I think me and DP will be fighting over who gets what with the parental leave, we have 2 months each - the rest we have to fight over is shared equally but can be signed over to the other parent

I can't even begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to 9 6 months off work scarlet !

Thanks Imps :)

popcorn I must say the whole preggers lark looks like terrible hard work, some women like it but I am doing this TTC malarky to have a child, not the in-between bit oh and the time off work haha
