Congratulations violet!

taking - I have all my toes as well as my fingers crossed for you.

I am definitely not going to be POASing early, as I have managed to lose my ICs in the mayhem that is my half packed up house....Not enjoying things too much at the moment - work is a nightmare - have done ridiculous amounts of overtime the past few months, and have to be in super early tomorrow. Again. So, I am really hoping for some good news next week, but if not, me and DH can have lots of fun DTD in our new house Grin

Thanks weechops & jellycurls Thanks
JellyCurls do you remember how long it was after your bleeding that you got your BFP?
I know this will sounds nuts if it turns out to be AF, but I was saying to my DH this morning that the inside of my abdomen feels stretched underneath my stomach muscles if that makes sense? I have so many symptoms that I don't know if I'm willing them to be there or if they really there.

I bought three double packs of CB test at lunch time (it was 3 for 2 at Boots!) and got back to the office and saw the (hopefully) implantation bleed so felt a bit gutted initially.

Also found out last night that my BIL's wife (SIL? SILIL? lol) is 6wks pregnant and they're staying with us this weekend. I'm delighted for her but hoping I don't have to cope with disappointment on the inside for the whole weekend if it is AF that I have.

That post was very me me me .
Blush sorry!

fx taking I had implantation bleeding at 14dpo with DC1 so all is not lost yet.

Am going home via the poundshop tonight to get cheapy pee sticks as there is no way I can wait till Sunday to check again properly and refuse to waste good expensive cb ones on another bfn.

weechops · 04/10/2012 14:03

Oh taking cannot move as all digits crossed for you. Yes the whole 2ww doing my head in. Feel convinced that I'll be hitching a ride on November bus. The pregnancy symptoms and pms are so similar. Have genuinely thoufhtabout barring myself from Internet forthe next week as I am driving myself mad. Will just put the iPad in the garage and pray [ to any god that is listening] instead.

Good luck and I will catch up with everyone on the13 th unless flamin AF shows up first .x

Dr Google is telling me implantation bleeds take place between 8dpo & 12dpo and I had stretchy feelings inside my tummy earlier, no normal AF cramps, so it could be implantation.

HEAD MELT

I guess I'll know for sure over the next couple of days, please please cross your fingers for me

Think I'm out ladies.
(TMI alert) Brownish discharge, start of AF or late implantation?
11dpo, think it's AF. Cycle 1 after coming off pill so a bit clueless.
Trying not to cry at my desk.

Congrats to cereal and violet cherry Grin

I've tried not to do to much ss this cycle, last month I convinced myself I was pregnant.

I've been having some cramps, like mild period pains and slightly sore boobs, however I'm putting this down to the kitten, I know that sounds really weird. She's 6 months old and has suddently taken to wanting to rest on my boobs and while she's trying to get comfortable she does that thing where they tread over and over again.

Each cycle I break out in 4 or 5 spots around my jawline about a week before AF arrives and they came yesterday so i'm now thinking I'll be getting a BFN.

JellyCurls · 04/10/2012 12:24

Congratulations violet super news!!

littlepinkfizz · 04/10/2012 12:11

cereak my 19 mth old has us up 10 times last night, nothing wrong,just wanted straightened out in cot. Both of us like zoombies today. S,eep been getting worse and just wondering if we should just let him cry for a bit as he settles perfectly after we go in. Though I can't bear to hear him cry.
Any ideas?

AnotherCerealNameChanger · 04/10/2012 10:17

violet CONGRATULATIONS!

And I am so relieved I am not the only one not sharing with anyone else just yet, DH has decided he doesn;t want another child after sleep regression hit this week in toddler so I am keeping quiet. Won't hurt anyway to get the early days out of the way and I don't book in until 9 weeks here.

taking hope that its just a smidge too early :)

littlepinkfizz · 04/10/2012 10:08

Hooray violet hooray!

And taking far too early to get a BFP but know you couldn't resist! Fx

hello ladies,
great news about the second BFP of the month cereal
reverted to lurker for the last couple of days but recovered from my stunned silence to let you know about my own BFP!!!
tested FMU on IC (20ml/U/ml) and got faint 2nd line, couldn't believe my eyes. So, decided to leave it 48hrs to do a retest. Got a darker 2nd line this morning using same type of test. The 2nd line is still lighter than the control but def darker than Tuesdays test.
The good news has sunk in a bit by now but haven't shared it with anyone in RL yet. Although a toddler and the dog took the test with me I don't think they'll tell anyone! Want to give it another few days before sharing with DH, to avoid any disappointment in these early days.
Found these websites interesting and they kept me from testing very early, www.countdowntopregnancy.com and www.peeonastick.com
FX for all testing, x

Morning all.
Anyone for tea and toast?
I couldn't resist and took a test this morning and got a bfn. Genuinely not bothered though as I know it's too early really to have been testing, so not feeling down about it. I'm just very happy AF hasn't showed her face yet.

Four days into October and we already have two BFPs. I think that's pretty fantastic. Grin

JellyCurls, that metallic taste is sounding positive. Smile

Morning Ladies

No visit from AF but no BFP either... so I am sitting here furiously symtom spotting to convince myself I am or am not in the baby club.

So far I have got cramps, not like AF ones
Sore boobs when run up and down stairs
And a taste in my mouth like I have been sooking pennies all night Confused

Anyway back to work for me and good luck to anyone POAS this morning

PerpetualProvocateur · 04/10/2012 07:23

Sorry about AF MrsTwinks and littlehelp. Better luck this cycle.

I'm not sure how much of a chance we've got this month now that I've agreed to travel for work next week CDs 15-17. I had a perfect 28-day cycle last month though, so I may have a shot if that happens again. CD 9 now, will try to DTD nearly every day between now and travelling to give us the best odds.

Anyone POAS this morning?

littlepinkfizz · 03/10/2012 22:22

So sorry I put you in and you had already posted twinks I didn't mean to be insensitive. Really sorry x

Sorry for you too littlehelp x

Not feeling at all hopeful myself and in fact just feel like jumping onto next years bus at the next stop. You get like that don't you, full of doom and gloom.

pinksky · 03/10/2012 20:29

Sorry about that, littlehelp and Twinks. Crappy AF.
Here's to bfps for us all at the end of the month X

littlehelp · 03/10/2012 18:50

littlepinkfizz

Out for the month boo!!!!

But is first cycle after coming off the pill so fingers crossed may get lucky for the end of the month but upto now its been a bit wtf not normal as it were pre-pill.
Maybe just all the stress at the moment lol
