I have another negative at 12dpo, but it's still early. My luteal phase is 12-16 days so I'm not out until Tuesday, unless I start my period before then of course. Luteal phases do vary by a few days either way Nic. I got the 12-16 from looking very carefully through my charts because some of the interpretations of the software were awful in the past and it was throwing the data off, lets, with your 8 day one could that have happened? If you're using FF, their advanced method isn't as good as the fertility awareness setting in my opinion.

Morning!!! 2days mission is to go to the supermarket and not buy a test!!!! I think if there's one in the house, I'll use it!!

Not long now Nic - the next week will fly by!!

Lets - ru poas on Sunday? or waiting a bit?

My luteal phase has been all over the shop too. Again, I put this down to the injection!

It was 10 or 11 the cycle before last and 13 last time. Anything above 10 is apparently ok, until it gets too long as that is also bad apparently!

I can't wait for the time off. :-) The honeymoon will be awesome, yes.

9 days now!! Single figures. Scary!!

My boobs felt bigger around that time too but are back to normal now! It has been 12 days since first smiley and 11 since the second!

I have tracked my cycle last 2 months, first luteal phase was 13 days, second was 8 days, I'm on day 10 of this luteal phase today! I have read that the luteal phase is meant to stay consistent so would hope it's 13 days as 8 is way too short!

But if it is 13 days, then AF is due on Sunday as think I ov'd last Monday! What I'm trying to say is cant get my hopes up until Sunday, can just be relieved the my LP is a bit longer than last month :)

Oh how I wish that I had a nice long break from work to look forward to! Bet you're looking forward to the honeymoon too!!!

How many days after the later smilies are you?

It's good to get rid of FMU quickly :-)

Oh, and this cycle my boobs have been painful since before OV, and still are. What the hell is that about?! When are they meant to stop hurting?

They feel bigger too, oddly.

Only 4 days left at work :-)

Thanks nic, I have had the pre AF feeling for a few days now but still holding out hope until she arrives! Got up from bed so fast this morning to check whether she arrived overnight but hadn't!

Today would have been my day to test if I hadn't had those two later smilies! Good job I have used up my FMU or may be tempted to POAS!!

It's annoying not knowing where you are.

My cycles are never the same at the moment, but I put that don to the injection's side effects.

4DPO and cramping really badly today :-( Every month my body throws something new at me!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 03/10/2012 22:48

Nic my cycles are long so I don't think I'll ov until late next week. I'll use opk as of Sunday as its predicted for thu/fri. Not sure as still messed up after mc :-/

letskiwithisthing · 03/10/2012 22:43

Evening everyone, how are you all doing? I'm just catching up! Quiet on here tonight!

Sorry to hear you are in limbo land dulcet fx for some good news soon, the way I feel I may not make it to Sunday to test, have a night out planned Saturday and would like to know before that! Just cant bear a BFN so holding off! Quite surprised and relieved that no AF still - hope that doesn't jinx me now!

Symptoms today = spots they better bugger off by sat, backache, sore boobs, mild crampy feelings! Nothing out of the ordinary so far! I want my mouth to taste of metal

Will be 10DPO tomorrow - didn't make it to that last month Grin

peardrop2 · 03/10/2012 20:48

Nicola yay for your work news :-)

TalTangerine · 03/10/2012 18:50

Yeah, it's way early to test so I don't feel bad, but I do think it was funny with my flashlight! There can still be lots of bfps for all!

Ouchy...why am I cramping at 3dpo? Stupid body. Don't want a stupid short cycle / non existant luteal phase.

CD10 and no shagging yet?! When do you expect to OV? Did you say you were using OPKs this month again? Fx for a BFP :-)

That's a bugger Dulcet. Maybe too early. Fx for you too.

My good news is that the utter bitch in my team has finally been told she has to stop slagging people off and bullying them. It's about time as she's been bloody awful for ages. :-)

Lolcbcblemonlime · 03/10/2012 17:30

Sorry about bfn dulcet. Maybe too early!
I've nothing to report really. Cd10 and nothing in terms of cm. will have first shag this weekend and then eod hopefully next week.

DulcetMoans · 03/10/2012 16:10

Hopefully!

Where is everyone anyway? Someone bring good news!!

peardrop2 · 03/10/2012 12:21

Oh ok. Hmmmm well fx AF stays away!

DulcetMoans · 03/10/2012 11:34

Clear blue and a cheapy. Clear blue is the blue dye one.

peardrop2 · 03/10/2012 11:25

Dulcet what did you test with? Cheapies?

DulcetMoans · 03/10/2012 09:47

Sorry about the delay ladies, struggling to get up so less time to get on here. Tested, twice as don't trust the blue ones. Nothing though, no sniff of a line! So I'm in limbo a bit now, guess I'm waiting for AF!

peardrop2 · 03/10/2012 09:31

Block do you have any idea where you think you might be in your cycle?

peardrop2 · 03/10/2012 09:30

Block hopefully cooking well thanks! No sickness yet. This week I've started to eat like a horse otherwise I feel a bit nauseous, just the same feeling as when you haven't had breakfast or lunch so no biggy! I can't read the anti-natal threads anymore as I all they go on about is throwing up...I reckon they egg each other on like we do with POAS Grin

peardrop2 · 03/10/2012 09:23

Oh Tal I love that you have the flashlight out :-) Hang on in there! Where is Dulcet?

BlocketteBananaSmoothie · 03/10/2012 09:22

Morning - Sorry for the Neg Tal, there is still hope!

anyone else testing soon?

Still nothing from me, I did get back ache and a few cramps the other night, so was hoping to wake up to AF - but aches have gone and still nothing :(

how is baby Pear cooking? are you feeling sick yet?
