Coming on for a moan, sorry, please form an orderly queue to slap me with a wet fish... but feeling really down about it all today, my mood swings are terrible. I am convinced I had a CP last cycle - faintest of lines once with lots of symptoms have never had before then they suddenly stopped and AF arrived. For the last two days have been so so down and moody/irritable Sad for no reason. Don't usually get PMS but it's like that. More EWCM today too but not seeing BF till Friday. Am on cd9, we dtd on cd3 and can't again till cd11 so convinced I am already out for October. I usually ov cd11-13. Almost wish we'd never decided to try as it's making being apart even harder than normal... Roll on Jan when we can live together more, being apart all week sucks rant rant moan moan whinge whinge

Time for more cake I think chocolate banana today I baked some to share so you had no chance but to listen to me droning on Wink

littlepinkfizz · 02/10/2012 13:47

When I tested with my DC1 I tested the day before AF and it appeared slowly even with FMU, she was v v v overdue

This time I didn't expect a + because it was earlier in the cycle and not FMU but it was there instantly. Hopefully thi means I OV'd earlier and this pg will be ok and not go overdue. Maybe.

255 days before I have to worry about that - and a week to keep it secret from DH. And we already agreed to try to keep it secret until 20weeks due to the need for additional tests.

littlepinkfizz · 02/10/2012 11:48

Brilliant news anothercerealnamechanger wow! x

pinksky · 02/10/2012 11:44

Hello ladies, may I join please? Was hoping for a bfp this week but AF decided to surprise me on CD24 , so I'm back to square one. It does mean I have a second chance of a bfp this month. Every silver cloud and all that Smile

Many congratulations, ella0 for the first bfp of the month, fx for many many more.

Shall I add myself to the list? Not sure what the etiquette is..!

Congratulations ella0

My AF not due until 5th/6th according to iPhone app but my mind said the 1st and er,

BFP can up with a first response test, afternoon wee and came up faster than you could say "holy shit we're having a baby"

Haven't told DH yet as he said he wanted to wait until the weekend, I needed to know before I went out on a hen night last night with a friend. I guess if I'm not pg at the weekend then I'll know it was a CP, I don't usually POAS but something told me that I should. That something being the fact I felt awful few days after OV, nausea in the evenings (same as with DC1), cramps and the fact I now loathe coffee again.

Good luck people - see you on the other side Thanks

PerpetualProvocateur · 02/10/2012 11:16

Hi ladies, apologies for not getting on here in ages. Have been quite busy with work. Now that October's here I thought I'd join you for the action!

Massive congrats to Ella for the first BFP of the month! Sorry to those who have had AF turn up. Better luck next cycle.

Unfortunately AF caught me by surprise last week. I thought I was having another long cycle (the previous one was 37 days), but it was bang-on 28 days. Hopefully that means things are getting back to normal. This was only my third AF since having DS (15 months), and we're still breastfeeding. I've heard from others in this situation that it can be difficult to get PG until your cycles normalise, so fx for this cycle.

The good news is that a normal length cycle gives me another shot at a BFP in October, so I've moved myself down the list.

LittleMissSnowShine · 02/10/2012 09:50

Yep, woody, i believe when you see the smiley it means shag like crazy that day AND the day after, just to be on the safe side Wink

Woodlands - When I got pg in June I test with a tesco own brand test at 10 DPO and got a bfn but I just kind of knew I was pg so I waited til 12 DPO and did a brand name test and got bfp. So fx for you that u were just testing a bit too early. I know the temptation tho!! I will find it v hard to resist when it gets to next week...

I've had an upset tummy since y'day and that little bit of spotting last night. Anyone get ov spotting? I never have before but i've heard your cycle can be diff after mc so... Anyway, your thoughts please!!

TakingTheStairs · 02/10/2012 09:36

Woody, I doubt you would have gotten the smiley if you didn't ov.
And yes to your dtd question Blush

OP posts:
woody17 · 02/10/2012 09:24

Yes thank you chookford and takingthestairs

Ok, well I think I might now be in the 2ww, although as this is a wtf cycle, who knows? Maybe I had a surge but didn't ov and will end up ov later?

Do you all try to DTD on the day of the smiley and the day after?

TakingTheStairs · 02/10/2012 09:22

Woody17 I got the smiley on Sat 22nd with the CB digital sticks, so I'm considering my 2WW to be over on Sunday 7th.
Does that help?

OP posts:
chookford · 02/10/2012 09:16

Woody I think the 2ww starts from the day you get the smiley! dont quote me on that though I may be talking complete garbage!

Woodlands sorry to hear its a bfn but as you say it is early hopefully end of week/next week you will get that bfp!

Good luck to anyone else testing today... fx!

Woodlands · 02/10/2012 09:02

I know what you mean, LittleMissSnowShine - I am not organised enough to buy them on eBay!

I tested this morning in an impatient sort of way - 4-5 days early! Unsurprisingly it was a BFN.

woody17 · 02/10/2012 08:59
