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.

Ah Pipbin well if it does turn out to be AF, at least you still have your cosy fur lined seat reserved on the sleigh AND next month is better for you AND your lp has increased to 13+ days... or it might just be the decidual bleeding that someone (panda?) mentioned upthread.

Stickle do you temp chart? Sounds like it might really be helpful in understanding your 'long / mad' cycles. Something to consider next month if you don't get a bfp first!

Sticklebricksuk · 27/03/2012 17:51

I'm glad it's looking good for some of you ladies, do keep us posted. Regarding me today is day 35. Angry I thought last month's 38 day cycle was a blip but it could be that that's my norm now seeing as I'm still getting a BFN. Bit worried about the long cycles but when I posted a specific thread about it some lovely ladies replied saying they had long / mad cycles and had lovely dc so that made me feel a lot better and I hope that the worst is that we have less chances per year rather than there being something underlying but I guess only time will tell. And you never know I could always be updiffed and it's too early to test [hopeful but not convinced emoticon] !!

Pipbin · 27/03/2012 17:48

Fairly sure I'm out.

Spotting has turned red now.

Me too chunky, there are plenty of seats to fill. Looking good for both MrsT and Pipbin fingers crossed!

Used my last test this morning, it was a boots cheapie. A strong line, not as dark as the test line but getting darker with each test. So it's definitely a BFP rather than a little skinny positive! I joined a birth board, eek.

Good luck everyone! Things that we did differently this month were using a pro conception lubricant and charting my temperature...

Chunkychicken · 27/03/2012 16:36

I keep dropping by to see those BFP seats filling up.

Fingers crossed everyone xx

MrsTwinks · 27/03/2012 13:51

Pipbin thats why this month will be the one and you know it!

MrsTwinks · 27/03/2012 13:43

Used the very last test at home Saturday, do I'd be forced to wait until I could get to superdrug (tomorrow)

the worst is we were out three times over the last week with friends who are now EXTREMELY suspicious that I didn't touch a drop at all (i dont drive so normally would have done at least one day out of three) Have been asked more than once if it was because I'm pregnant. At least it wasn't exactly a lie to say no, I'm a terrible liar! Wink

Pipbin · 27/03/2012 13:01

Well still no AF. A little bit of spotting but that's all.
My temp dropped this morning but not below my cover line.
No AF symptoms. No pg symptoms either.

If she shows tomorrow then that'll be a 13 day lp which is much better than the 10 last month.

However I have decided that this month would be not as good as next month for me.
So either result will be good.
I'm going to be strong and not test until Saturday. Maybe.

PS Mummy come on the sleigh if you haven't already!

LimeLeafLizard · 27/03/2012 11:53

Just visiting from the sleigh to see how you're all doing...

Twinks thanks for the update I was wondering how you were doing. When did you last test?

bonzo looking good for you, too... I took a look at your chart and it does look triphasic to me.

Tuesday sorry to hear about your temp drop... today should have been your day, really! I am hoping it is mine because I think I am OV today.

pip good luck for tomorrow!

bonzo77 · 27/03/2012 09:47

Oh just realised I do have a pg symptom! I really don't want a coffee this morning. Unlike me. But just like when I was pg. Biscuit

bonzo77 · 27/03/2012 09:09

for mrstwinks

MrsTwinks · 27/03/2012 09:05

Incase anyone is still curious, still all clear here. Now on day 40 of my 29 day cycle, not testing again until Wednesday but as I'm still very symptomatic DH is convinced I'm of the 1% of missed/late bfp

I am running out of distraction techniques thou, there are babies everywhere!!

bonzo77 · 27/03/2012 08:59

tuesday maybe your drop is an implantation dip?!

pip have you done that test yet?

My temps are still high, in fact they have made a 2nd thermal shift. is this a triphasic chart? I have been unwell though with a cold and ear infection, so this could just be a fever.

No actual sign of AF (no cramps or spotting, no headache or pms) but no preg signs either. So obviously could go either way!

TuesdayNightClub · 27/03/2012 08:15

I didn't test this morning after all, as my temp has dropped like a brick. Might try later in the week if by some miracle AF doesn't show up. Pretty resigned to it not being this month, but I am holding out a sliver of hope until the bitter end!

Will join santa's sleigh on a prospective basis I think!

Pipbin · 26/03/2012 21:54

Mummy Day 1 is the first day of full flow. The first day where you need a tampon or whatever you use. Spotting doesn't count.

OP posts:
MummyNickleby · 26/03/2012 21:40

Just checking in on the BFPs Grin
DH and I are trying again, AF was odd though: started 2 days early, did little more than spotting for 4 days then came with a full weeks worth of baggage... So I've no idea what day 1 of cycle really was. I'll pick 3... Day spotting started, day I was due on and the day it got heavy...
So ovulation is due next Tues, Thurs or Sat Grin
Oh DH is going to be busy Wink

TuesdayNightClub · 26/03/2012 20:17

I've already mentally cracked and I'm also going to test tomorrow if AF hasn't shown up. I feel like she is around the corner, having cramps, mood swings, spots, the works.

Good luck pipbin and bonzo when u test as well. Smile

Pipbin · 26/03/2012 20:00

Still no AF. Spotting but no AF.

I might test tomorrow if she hasn't shown.

PickledHegg · 26/03/2012 19:15

Hey everyone, just checking in looking for more BFPs :)

Primal Congrats, great news :)

Pipbin sounds very promising indeed, fingers crossed for you

tuesday and bonzo best of luck ladies

hope all those testing this week have BFPs :)

Pipbin · 26/03/2012 12:53

Still no AF. I was sure she had arrived last night but it was just spotting again.
I resisted the urge to test this morning.
I'm going to stay strong until Wednesday. Honest.
I'm sure that she is going to come soon.

OP posts:
LimeLeafLizard · 26/03/2012 09:18

It is tough waiting it out, isn't it? Even two days seems to go so slowly...
Hope you get out into the sunshine today and enjoy your day off.

TuesdayNightClub · 26/03/2012 08:37

Morning, thanks for good luck wishes, I am here to update but sadly it's a BFN. I am 10dpo, due AF tomorrow, high temp, no symptoms other than being really grumpy/ emotional that I usually get before AF anyway. Will try to hold out till Wednesday now when AF would officially be late. At least I have a day off work today although DH and I are barely speaking I'm in such a foul mood! Confused

LimeLeafLizard · 25/03/2012 22:50

he he, bonzo you are not the only one - I am drumming fingers impatiently too! Still following this thread from the comfort of the Sleigh to look out for good results on here.

Sounds good pip that AF has stayed away another day.

Tuesday please do update us if you POAS tomorrow morning! Fingers crossed for you.

bonzo77 · 25/03/2012 22:21

primal lovely news about the BFP and the darkening line. Thats reassuring. With DS i left it so late to test that the line came up before the test line did while I was still weeing on the stick!

pipbin lets try to be strong together and wait till wednesday. Though I suspect that might still be too early for me, even though that's what FF is telling me to do. I'd be CD29 and 11DPO if I get to then with out AF turning up. I think that saturday would be more sensible.

I was in superdrug yesterday and nearly bought some. But I have a rule that I don't keep proper tests in the house, only internet cheapy strips. "proper" tests are reserved for until I get a BFP on a cheapy strip. Other wise I go mad, use the strips, convince myself they are wrong, and use the expensive ones as well.

tuesday good luck if you do POAS tomorrow morning. Obv you will be using FMU and will post here immediately.
