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.

might leave the posh test awhile longer as i've discovered a great distraction. DH is starting to become much more desperate for that little line than me. He just rang, and after a bit of small talk (He left me sleeping this morning as i'm off work) he was suddenly "did you get a line or not??!!?!!" keeping with the cheapies that "might" be giving me false negatives is funny just to keep him squirming lol I'm a bad bad wife

LimeLeafLizard · 19/03/2012 13:05

MrsT it is sounding increasingly optimistic for you... I think you are now quite entitled to go and buy a posh test as all the not knowing must be so nerve wracking.

LimeLeafLizard · 19/03/2012 13:02

Hi all, just checking in on the flight.

AF has gone so it will soon be time to SWI again! I'm taking the Vit B now so hopefully that will help.

Hooray for Pickled, another BFP on this flight at last!

Crazy and better sorry to hear your out for this month. Join us on Santa's sleigh to a Christmas baby next month...
Rudawakening hope by the end of this week you won't be joining Smile

Pipbin each time you've posted a link to your chart I have clicked to look but for some reason my computer won't show any details of it. Sorry as I would be interested to see someone elses chart as well as to comment!

Chunkychicken · 19/03/2012 10:56

Well done Pickled & sorry AF arrived Crazy.

PrimalChic · 19/03/2012 09:57

Morning ladies!

Have been feeling nauseous since last night and this morning, my temperature had jumped 0.5'C. Hope it's baby and not another bug!

Pipbin, that sounds like it could be implantation? Fingers crossed for you and MrsT! And sorry she got you crazy, enjoy the large airline measures of the Bombay!

Great news pickled! 7 seats left, who else is testing this week? Think I will on Friday...

MrsTwinks · 19/03/2012 09:36

AF is now quite late and AF hasn't sent me an explaination, I'm still getting BFN's on my internet cheapies. When's the time to get a more expensive test/go to the doctor for a test cos this is driving us both nuts now! :( if i don't have AF i should have a bfp dammit :(

bettergetamoveon · 19/03/2012 09:04

Happy days pickled!

i wish I had your attitude rudeawakening!

I am also hanging around to see all of the BPF's.

Crazytictac · 19/03/2012 08:37

Thanks pipbin. The gin does sound good. And I do like the sound of first class so maybe I'll stay on a bit longer :)

Ohh exciting year for you pickled! How lovely. Bet your DD will be thrilled when she finds out too. I'm fine thanks. Gonna dust myself off and start again.

Fab way of looking at things rudeawakening's

Right, really better go and do some productive type stuff!

PickledHegg · 19/03/2012 08:05

Aww sorry to hear that crazy hope your ok? Although glad you know where you are now with your cycle.

Agree with Pipbin ...get on the gin!

As for DP (supposed to be becoming DH in October, will have to re-think that one seems I've already bought my very expensive wedding dress, which is probably a size too small now, nevermind at 8mths pregnant!) he's really pleased, he's been on at me for another one (we have DD age 5) for years!

Rudawakening · 19/03/2012 07:59

Morning

pickled fabulous news for you! So exciting, stick around and let's us know how you're getting on.

crazy sorry af got you, at least on the plus side it's a normal cycle length, fingers crossed for you for next month.

Still nothing from me but as I don't know exactly when I ov'd I think af is actually due about wednesday, tested this morning and BFN so think I'm. Out this month anyway but I'm actually ok with it, I gave myself a talking to yesterday and realised that even though I want a baby more than anything I am very lucky and have a wonderful life which I have decided to just try and enjoy instead of worrying all the time over what might be. I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a reason so for the next few months at least we are just going to swi with no pressure no calculations etc or I'm going to be crazy before I get pg.

You can stay Crazy. You can sit in first class and knock back the gin!

OP posts:
Crazytictac · 19/03/2012 07:35

Fingers crossed mrstwinks and pipbin

Fab news pickled, how did your DH react :)

Well def won't be joining the list as AF has turned up this morning. Bit gutted but not unexpected and on the plus side at least I had a normal cycle this month unlike my mammoth 47day cycle last time. I really like this thread and you ladies and now I've got to go :(.

Going to check in thought to see the stats. Good luck ladies!

PickledHegg · 19/03/2012 07:23

bettergetamoveon sorry to hear AF has arrived, but glad to hear about the no spotting and a longer LP.

Pipbin and MrsTwinks sounds very promising for both of you, fingers crossed :)

Wondering how crazytictac and rudawakening are getting on?

I'm going to take the next first class seat no 5 :) my test is most definately a BFP I'm very nervous as its early days so like the others I'm going to stick around on this thread and watch all the BFPs come flooding in :)

Pipbin · 18/03/2012 23:06

I'm getting slight cramps and a bit of spotting, but nothing like the brown spotting I have had in the past.

Fingers crossed.

OP posts:
MrsTwinks · 18/03/2012 22:01

not exactly sure, as not using opk sticks, but guessing now 15dpo, as AF was due yesterday. Proper waiting game now I suppose.. grr!

Pipbin · 18/03/2012 21:45

How many DPO are you Twinks?

OP posts:
MrsTwinks · 18/03/2012 17:54

Still MIA, had the tiniest bit of spotting -basically just red when wiping- yesterday lunch but nothing since (despite a 2mile walk today) so IMO that wasn't period. Still a bfn though... Hmmm...

Pipbin · 18/03/2012 15:37

Shameless symptom spotting here.
I was massively tired yesterday. I slept until 9am, which is late for me, then fell asleep at 3 until 5 in the afternoon then again at 10:30 until 12.30 and then went to bed and straight to sleep until 9am today!

OP posts:
Chunkychicken · 18/03/2012 14:30

Evidence that mother nature has a sense of irony huh better? Sorry AF has arrived, but fingers crossed its the start of something good cycle wise...

And Pipbin sorry to hear you're finding it hard, it won't be long before you have an easier time x

bettergetamoveon · 18/03/2012 10:20

Oh hello AF, how nice of you to visit me and on mothers day as well, lovely Angry Glad you let me have a 28 day cycle and longer LP, but a little notice would have been good ok??!!!

Pipbin, mothers day is another dy of commericalised rubbish. If you love your mum nyou should show it every day, not just on a day you're told to. Not nice for those who have lost mothers or those who want to be mothers either.

Feel a bit deflated today. Despite trying not to get my hopes up I did anyway. I know I should look on the bright side as i had no spotting this month (unless yesterdays miniscule amount is included) and my LP was 10 days, but it's so depressing isn't it?

Ladies still to test, the stats are rising for you lot, good luck! Hope not to see you on the next flight!

Pipbin · 18/03/2012 09:06

Am I alone in finding mothers day very difficult?

OP posts:
bettergetamoveon · 17/03/2012 22:05

Excellent news Pickled, fingers crossed rudeawakening and mrstwinks. pipbin, sorry your body is confusing you. Sorry to hear of the AF visits. BFN mean nothing until AF arrives, so there's till hopes for those of you with no AF. Things are looking good for you this monthChunky, so happy for you Smile

I am trying so very, very hard not to get excited at all about all of this. I desperately don't want to get my hopes up and then come crashing down to earth Sad

Here's the story - January and February were both 26 day cycles. Spotting from CD21 - CD25, AF official arrival CD26. Oh, also Ovulation on CD 18ish, so 8 day LP Sad

March Ovulation CD 18, CD27 is today had teeny tiny brown steaks (barely noticable) on going to the toilet twice. On Every other time (about a zillion trips) nothing at all. AF will PROBABLY arrive tomorrow, giving me a 28 day cycle which is what I used to have a few months ago (I think). I am NOT going to get my hopes up until at least Monday, when I would be officially late on a normal cycle.

Good luck everyone. Of course now that I've written this essay AF will pay a visit won't she Angry

PickledHegg · 17/03/2012 21:30

Thank you everyone! I'm going to re-test in the morning, I have a first response but have been saving it until I'm certain its going to be a BFP iykwim?!

Have doubled checked last test a hundred times and 3hrs later, the positive line is still there :) immpossible not to get my hopes up but still not entirely convinced its a definate BFP. I shall be back in the morning to let you all know!

crazy and Ruda fingers crossed girls :)

CandyPop · 17/03/2012 21:18

Ah congrats pickled!!!
I heard that a faint line is a line! And that was the case for me :)
I suggest maybe re testing with a more sensitive stick - something like first response. It also comes up with a pink line rather than blue so it's more clear!!
