Thanks for the lovely welcome !

Super I am not sure to be 100% honest. I had the Mirena coil for years and no AF's then got pg just after having out (then the MC). From my distant past I think I was pretty regular and about 28 days but not 100% sure!

Frustrated thanks for my card, hope it is a lucky one!!

Perpetual I have been desperately trying to symptom spot prodding boobs is my new hobby but nothing except the odd twinge/cramp in uterus area! I am sure it is the longest run in to AF ever though!! Last pg I had a lot (v sore boobs, metallic taste, shattered, hungry and thirsty all the time) so not holding out much hope!

Anyone had a pg with no symptoms early on??

Will be resuming my POAS obsession tomorrow am. Anyone else? Had a bit of a boozy BBQ yesterday so hoping by doing everything anti-pg I may just fluke it Wink!

Hi perpetual and almond

Perpetual did you have a lovely holiday? I find flying sends my cycle off, I could be that. Fx it's positive news I'm also envious of symptoms Smile

Almond do you normally have long cycles?

Thanks for the cheer Sticky

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 14:49

Hi almond join me in the bfn but no AF brigade.

Ooh good symptoms perpetual I have a complete lack of any symptoms today. Fx for you.

We had a few fruity BFPs so decided that fruit must be lucky. So jumped on the fruit band wagon. Grin

PerpetualProvocateur · 27/08/2012 14:23

Thanks for the warm welcome back! We had a lovely holiday, thanks.

Hi Almond! Welcome to the wait.

So how does this work - do I need to change my name to something fruity to bring on a BFP? Wink

I was trying to resist, but I need to indulge in a little symptom-spotting. So far I've got fatigue, a bit of nausea, and wind/bloat -- all of which can be attributed to other things. But I've also had a really strong sense of smell over the past couple of days, which is strange as I've also got a bit of a cold so am bunged up and definitely shouldn't be able to smell so well. These symptoms are all very consistent with what I felt early on in my pregnancy with DS, so it's promising.

Has anyone else got symptoms?

Almond301 · 27/08/2012 14:16

Hiya!

Can I join? I am also waiting for AF to rear her ugly head! On CD30 post MC. Been having some weird cramps and was convinced I had ovulation pains/bleed a week ago but BFN on the 4 tests I have done!! Tried FRER a couple of days ago so not holding much hope...but I guess it isnt over until AF arrives!

Good luck everyone!

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 12:51

Ps loving the cheerleader chant sticky

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 27/08/2012 12:45

You lot are lovely Grin perpetual are you gonna join us in the fruity madness? It worked for goingbananas so we're hoping it will work for us too. Bfp for us all.

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 12:40

Hi perpetual Welcome back to the mad house fred. Did you have good hols?
I think me, slattern, ninja, Sarah and tink, are either in the running or CD1s have gone AWOL. personally I think it's the fruit Wink

PerpetualProvocateur · 27/08/2012 12:30

Hi ladies, I haven't been on here for ages as we were away on hols, but thought I'd drop in as I still have a chance at a BFP. Day 36 now and no sign of AF, but I have no idea what's going on with my cycle as this is the first since getting my period back after my pregnancy with DS. I suspect I may have ovulated quite late, if at all. I last POAS'd on Friday, but am trying to give it a few more days before testing again.

Anyone else still waiting?

stickybeans · 27/08/2012 12:28

Thanks for the support ladies- I'm glad the wait is over.

Fingers crossed for Frustrated, Ninja and Super!! I'm gonna hang out a bit. I'll be the cheerleader for you " whooo! come on BFP!!!"......"lets go, POAS!!"

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 27/08/2012 12:24

Ic, asda and a first response but not the early response one so far. All bfn. Used asda one this morning which says it measures 15mlu of hcg which is quite sensitive I think?
Maybe I should put my best undies on. Fx af doesn't turn up for you frustrated or super. Will see whatdoc saystomoro.

SuperSatsumaSlattern · 27/08/2012 10:07

Thanks frustrated

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 09:41

No slattern
Fx for tomorrow for you.

SuperSatsumaSlattern · 27/08/2012 09:29

GL for next month Sticky

frustrated have you POAS or are you waiting until tomoro?

Still no sign ninja? You've got me stumped. Try wearing your best underwear because it's bound to show then Smile

Apart from being knackered (DD has decided sleep is for wimps) I haven't got any other symptoms the witch is on her way or not. Oh I've got a bit of backache but that's most likely by how I'm sitting than anything else

AF is officially tomoro. I'm going to try and wait to see if it arrives before doing anymore tests yeah right Grin

How is everyone feeling this morning?

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 09:13

Confused what tests are you using? You've got me on that one ninja maybe the witch got lost? Isn't it frustrating? Shall we put up an ad for missing AFs?

I'd like to think that stressing about TTC and AF arriving can delay AF, but then why doesn't that happen every month?

QuietNinjaRaspberryBlueberry · 27/08/2012 08:41

Bfn again! No sign of af. What else can delay your period?
Fx for you frustrated.

frustratedpineapplepants · 27/08/2012 07:40

Gutted sticky at least you still have your cb
Hmm AF is officially late. Confused

stickybeans · 27/08/2012 05:29

Well, she got me. Onward and upward to September.

GL to everyone else!!!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 26/08/2012 23:27

Apparently some people take it while ttc as it can reduce risk of mc and increase lining of womb???

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 23:18

What's baby aspirin?

Lolcbcblemonlime · 26/08/2012 23:15

Hope af does not show her ugly face Angry
Btw do any of you take baby aspirin? Was reading about it but am scared I'm thinking of taking too much stuff Blush

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 23:10

lobcbcb perhaps shouldn't have had more beer. Wink Grin
Am tempted by the thought of beer myself. Feeling AFy now. Sad roll on CD1 coz them I'm going to have alcohol Grin

Lolcbcblemonlime · 26/08/2012 22:58

Must have drank more than I thought. Meant to say more beer rather than pizza. Oh dear.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 26/08/2012 22:57

Lol more pizza would have donut but ate it yesterday
Bf lovely and all but completely non child friendly!!

frustratedpineapplepants · 26/08/2012 21:19

More pizza or more beer?

Baby hating friend? I now have visions of a cross between Cruela Devil (101 dalmations) and the Child Catcher(from Chitty Chitty bang bang) Hmm

I have no S to PO. Sad I bet I'll wake up to AF anyway. that's what I get for telling everyone I'm like clockwork. [sods law emoticon]
