Well I am dusting down the drivers seat and kick starting the April bus for those the BFP fairy missed on the lucky Mad March bus. Fingers crossed the destination for this one is 'Baby Central'.

Hi penny Smile

No don't think I can be pregnant... It's a weird cycle I think...

AF came on 25th march and ended on 29th march.... Then a few days later on cd10 (3rd April) I had a small amount of blood in my knickers and when wiping... On/off for maybe half a day and then it stopped.

Now I'm on cd26... No temp rise yet... A TINY amount of EWCM I think a couple of days ago and a positive opk. Well... I was doing OPKs every day and finally the line was as dark as the control line so I assume it was a positive! But still no temp rise and AF is due next Wednesday!

I'd love to do a test and find I'm pregnant but my temps are so low so don't think that's possible!

Just a waiting game I guess!

Pixie I've been trying sooooooo hard not to ss since I stepped away from mumsnet a few months back. I nearly threw up feeding the cat on Monday. And that made me go hmmm! Then as the days have gone on more and more symptoms have arrived but different ones to other months when I was too obsessive. I've not had mouth ulcers, lots of cm or thirst like this before. I have had bouts of nausea and sore boobs so discounted those even tho they did start last week (so about 8 dpo).

PurpleGeekyGirl · 19/04/2013 14:11

Thanks for the congrats Grin am v paranoid now tho as had some brown cm earlier... I know it's normal (& I had the same with ds in and off till 8 weeks) but it doesn't stop the worry does it (or the obsessive knicker checking!).

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for Mullin. FX for next month and for everyone else still on the bus.

Penny31 · 19/04/2013 13:36

Hi gilly, sorry you are having a confusing time. Do you have any AF symptoms? I reckon you are having an extra long cycle. I don't suppose you actually be pregnant already could you?

So I rang the docs to announce my BFP all excitedly. I asked the male receptionist what the process was cos I've just discovered I'm pregnant. He said I need to bring in a urine sample and make an appointment at that stage. Eh??? What am I supposed to do, hand my pee over and say I'm pregnant here is my sample? In front of the whole waiting room? The receptionist sits behind glass so I have to shout. I don't like it!!

littlepinkfizz · 19/04/2013 12:44

Fantastic purple! Thanks

gillywillywoo · 19/04/2013 12:19

Part of me wonders whether my thermometer is just f**ked Angry

gillywillywoo · 19/04/2013 12:16

My news is that it's now cd26 and my temps are still low Sad

No rise like last month.

Since coming off the pill in December my cycles have been 30 days every month.
So this is either a strangely long cycle OR Im not ovulating this month at all and AF will come as usual in a few days.

OR I ovulated in the last day or so and my luteal phase is reaaaally short this month.

Positive OPK on Tuesday and Wednesday so maybe my temps are just taking a while to rise.

Feeling a bit bleehhhhhh about it all Sad

Kinda want AF to come so I can put this month down as a weird one and move on.

Poop.

gillywillywoo · 19/04/2013 12:09

Congrats, purple!

I'll have at least a 12 year age gap if I ever get pregnant. It'll be fun!

Penny31 · 19/04/2013 07:33

Congrats purple!! Great news :)

PurpleGeekyGirl · 19/04/2013 07:07

BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tested again this morning with FMU and got the feintest of feint lines on a superdrug test.

Omg!!

What on earth is an 11 year age gap like?!?

Edd 25 December.

Alyssa1978 · 18/04/2013 23:19

Hi mullen
How do you know you're 16dpo, do you use opks?
Depending on what pill you were on it can take a while to get back to normal.

Congrats to everyone on the recent BFPs. Xx

WanabeMum · 18/04/2013 22:00

Couldn't resist, just ordered some clearblue tests but they wont get here till next week. If I can hold off until then, and AF still hasn't arrived I should know for sure!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 20:39

I'm hoping so wannabemum! It's def different to previous months anyways... Am off to pound land tomorrow to get some cheapies! FX to you too Grin

WanabeMum · 18/04/2013 19:51

Ooh purple that sounds very positive!
My symptoms so far are:
Sore boobs in the armpit area
Yellowy/creamy cm
Vivid dreams
Brown discharge last Thursday but none since

I'm cd35 tomorrow and still no AF but before the coil my cycles were about 33 days so maybe 2days late. Going to hold off with poas until Saturday if I can and keeping everything crossed! Smile

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 19:36

FX for us all indeed!

At the risk of tmi, my symptoms so far (and different to non pg months are):

Loads of yellowy and creamy cm
Mouth ulcers
No AF!!
Thirst: I can't drink enough and am not peeing as much as I normally would after drinking pints and pints of squash!
Altered taste
Hungry but don't know what to eat, wanting bland stodgy food
Not craving chocolate Blush
Taste in my mouth like I've been sucking paracetomol tablets Confused
Constant nausea which gets really bad at different times of the day, particularly first thing in morning and if I haven't eaten for a bit
Strong aversion to some smells and a much more acute sense of smell...

I'll be cd29 tomorrow, but af is usually here on cd25-26.

Bikey86 · 18/04/2013 19:28

Hi purple and wannabe...I definately don't feel pg. Think AF is looming. Anyway, its only the first cycle, I wasn't expecting to be pg so soon after reading so many posts on MN. Fx for you both x
