Welcome aboard ladies.
Please be seated, you may undo your seatbelts as soon as you see the SWI sign light up.

I'll be coming round with cake, biscuits and wine.

Come on girls, we can do it this month.

Heads held high and legs akimbo, off we go.

I hate that. Happy for her of course.
Found out a while ago a friend is pg after just two months of trying. Other friend got pg while actively trying to prevent!

Sorry to hear that MrsTwinks, 14 days late is very annoying as you've had such a long wait to find out. So, day 1 of the next cycle for you? Come to the sleigh if you fancy it... although it has been a bit quiet the last few days.

Chunkychicken · 31/03/2012 14:44

That's bad news MrsTwinks and v annoying for you. Fingers crossed for this cycle...

MrsTwinks · 31/03/2012 13:56

Looks like I'm out ladies Sad 14 days late is bloody annoying thou

MrsTwinks · 30/03/2012 13:20

Bit more spotting today but browny rather than red. Still BFN Sad so will try again tomorrow when I'm officially 2 weeks late. then GP on Monday I think, although I'm guessing they'll tell me to wait until I'd be 4 weeks late to see what's what.

Nausea in the evenings is killing me, about 8ish nightly I get refluxy/gassy with it, last night it was insane hiccups for 30 minutes! Doesn't matter what was for tea, the evenings are hell. Kept me up until 1am feeling crap. If I don't get my BFP outta this I'm gonna be peeved!! Wink

Chunkychicken · 30/03/2012 12:36

I POAS to rule out a virus and got my BFP mummynick as I was feeling so dizzy & faint at times. Started 8-9 days after assumed ovulation... Only way to know for sure is to POAS I'm afraid. Good luck x

MummyNickleby · 29/03/2012 22:54

Evening ladies... Feeling very odd... Dizzy and nausea for 4 days now... Dizzy is sometimes quite extreme Confused
So... AF came 2 days early, was light for 4 days and eventually left after 8/9 days... I'm wondering, could I be pg?! Hmm

If I'm not then I have a very odd virus / illness. Have pain in nether regions that reminds me of SPD (but surely it'd be waaaayy too early for that?!) but that could be down to the gym [hopes no one recalls the bazookas pain from a few weeks ago].
Guess the only way to be sure is poas but I don't want to waste money Blush

TuesdayNightClub · 29/03/2012 22:25

bonzo I'm signed up to that plan. Might stay off MN and the opks. I am very attached to my temp charts though Blush

See you in may!

bonzo77 · 29/03/2012 21:16

She did just show. So I'm out. DH thinks I'm Obsessed and wants me to take 2 months off charting, opks and MN! I've agreed to 1 month if we SWI at least 3x a week during that time. Catch up next month?

MrsTwinks · 29/03/2012 18:21

Bonzo, it ain't over till the red lady shows!! ;)

chunky can't get to the doctor until Monday at the earliest (if I can get past the appointment system of doom) so until then it's waiting.

Thought it was game over when I had spotting today when I wiped. I got kicked pretty badly yesterday in the torso by a -total fucking brat- kid at work and thought oh no, but nothing made it to me undies, and nothing else it seems. I never have spotting normally, I only know what it is from googling last month when i had some 4 days before i came on. Had the same this time (or rather before af went AWOL) So something very fishy is going on that's for sure... Hmmm

bonzo77 · 29/03/2012 16:37

Temp dropped below coverline today but still nothing to suggest AF actually coming. Did POAS but BFN, so (fantasy alert here) obviously this was an implantation dip and of course bfn because not enough hcg yet to register. Hmm

Chunkychicken · 29/03/2012 13:21

Good news on one front at least Tuesday better luck on the sleigh... :)

So where are the rest of those BFPs coming from? Are the owners too busy SWI/POAS to post??!! Grin

TuesdayNightClub · 29/03/2012 12:18

I am definitely out. Happy with my 12 day luteal phase. Now just need to work on my 22 day follicular phase and I'll be sorted. Smile I'll pop over to the sleigh this evening.

Good luck bonzo and mrs t I hope your AWOL AF turns into a BfP very soon!

LimeLeafLizard · 29/03/2012 10:45

Just checking in to see how it is going...

I would have written exactly what Chunky just wrote!

Crazytictac · 29/03/2012 07:29

Sorry Pipbin :(

I've saved you some gin on the sleigh

Longer LP is not to be sniffed at either

Chunkychicken · 29/03/2012 06:27

Sorry to hear that Pipbin but at least next month will be better timing wise, & less spotting.

Mrs Twinks might be worth going to your GP. They'll prob just say leave it a week & test again, but it might put your mind at rest.

Good luck Tuesday & Bonzo.

Pipbin · 28/03/2012 23:15

I'm definitely out.

OP posts:
MrsTwinks · 28/03/2012 22:54

I have poas today. Still bfn Sad

Starting to feel like maybe something is wrong with me. Still sick/tired/hormonal thou

TuesdayNightClub · 28/03/2012 22:28

Hi bonzo yes i think that's a good plan for Saturday, as if AF is coming she'll be here by then, and if it was implantation on Tuesday it will give the hormones enough time to become detectable by HPT. Also nicer testing at the weekend I think.

I also like charting. It clues me in to what's going on much more than ov sticks alone. It helped me work out that I have the double whammy of delayed ovulation and a short luteal phase and that means I can do something about it! I have taken B6 and so far I'm really pleased that it has lengthened LP by two days this month.

Hurry up Saturday!!

bonzo77 · 28/03/2012 22:07

tuesday I didn't test today. I had a small dip in my chart this morning, so didn't want to get all excited. Last month I got a dip the day before AF came, then a further dip the following day when AF showed, so it seemed silly to test today. I probably won't test tomorrow either (though DH really wants me to), as if I get a BFN in the morning and AF later it will feel a bit silly. I think I will wait till Saturday which will take me to 14 DPO which was my usual LP before the mc. In fairness I have had very little in the way of PMS symptoms (which for me is a cracking headache and cramping) and some pg symptoms (loss of appetite, sensitive to smells, keep making silly errors, loads and loads of creamy CM). I also have 57/100 in the "early pregnancy signs" on the FF thingy..... Yay to your increased LP. Are you taking B6? Like I said I seem to have a very short LP since mc and it does seem to be getting longer with the B6, but it might have sorted itself out anyway. Sooo if no AF for either of us shall we POAS on saturday?

stickle I like charting. Despite using CBFM for months, it is only with charting temps and CM, and other symptoms that I am starting to understand my cycle better. It's really very interesting. The fertility friend website basically works it all out for you, and has tutorials on how to do it. All you need is a BBT thermometer. I have this one. You do need a digital one that measures to 2 decimal places.

mrstwinks could you please just POAS now for me, or at least in the morning. Pleeeeeeeease.

pip you still sure?

TuesdayNightClub · 28/03/2012 21:41

Anyone got any more updates?

bonzo I'm actually almost a but hopeful that Tuesday was an implantation dip, my temp went back up a bit this morning and this evening I have a little brown spotting. I feel like its 50/50 between AF starting and it having been implantation, but tomorrow should bear the answer either with a temp rise or spotting turning into AF. In any case I'm now 12dpo only ever having made it to to 10dpo before so I'm very happy about that!

twinks any sign of AF? What about seeing the GP for a blood test?

LimeLeafLizard · 27/03/2012 20:43

Grin Good for you for starting off relaxed... probably works as well as anything. I like charting, but then I like the illusion of being in control Until about 5 days before AF is due when I become a dithery panicker

Sticklebricksuk · 27/03/2012 20:37

No lime we were taking the "chuck some sperm at an egg all month round" relaxed approach initially. But if it's not a BFP this month I've bought a bbt thermometer ready for next month so I am going to have a bash!
