A new thread for all you lovely, crazy ladies. Here's to lots of BFPs!

I am with you Saggy, veering from one to the other...I did though, cave and POAS earlier. Neg. AF due today, just feel odd, bit sicky, bit bloated, very painful boobs, crampy and with a bad back still.

Bonus is, I now just have to wait for AF or POAS next friday as I don't have any left in the house and can't get any until Saturday...although I am never late, and if AF doesn't come by then I am going straight to sainsburys on the way home...

Considering DH is still out of work, it is a good think if AF comes, plus I have lost loads of weight recently and want to continue.

still trying to convince myself

missmakesstuff · 09/07/2013 20:53

So sorry Sapphire, that is shit. hope you are looking after yourself. I just can't imagine how you are feeling,

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 09/07/2013 20:27

You live round HERE Cam? Did you go through the drive through boots? Grin I've always wanted to do that. I'm the other end of town, Manningtree. Where are you?
Oh Sapphire! That's shit! We've had more MCs than BFPs recently!
Have a hug and take it easy! It's not over until its over you know. {{{hug}}}

Looks like it's already all over for me. Started bleeding this afternoon. Gutted.

But, looking on the bright side, at least I didn't have nearly three months of thinking I was pregnant this time.

Have my fingers crossed for you Saggy, things sound promising

RainbowConnections · 09/07/2013 19:45

Katatonic i didnt realise that you had TTC so long before losing your baby. Very tough. I really hope its implantation bleeding. Timing wise it sounds possible.

Saggy your sicky morning sounds very hopeful! Impressive restraint.

Ovulated post MC yesterday so 2WW starts. Anyone else on same timing. Trying to drum up energy to DTD again tonight (does day after matter?).

CamomileHoneyVanilla · 09/07/2013 19:39

Fingers crossed for you Saggy. I was in Tollgate Retail Park today buying reassurance sticks and Boots was all out of first response tests - the thought "maybe Saggy has finally cracked was the first thing to pass through my mind!

Congrats JBrd!!! Fab news.

Get well soon DDMF.

Everything crossed for implantation bleeding Kat.

Misspositivity · 09/07/2013 19:11

fedup. I would be pleased. Nice flowing AF. Mine are always black tar like. Don't think yours is anything to worry about.
saggy all looking good for you. Fingers crossed.
jbird. Hooray. Delighted to hear your news.

fedupofrainydays · 09/07/2013 18:55

Random question - but since mc my periods have been dark blood / sometimes almost black. But this af is bright red. Any thoughts? Should I be worried / pleased / indifferent?!

kata that's so long to be ttc - I so hope this is just implantation. But if its not, you are def on the right route to getting some assistance in the up duffing department.

I too want saggy to POAS - desperate to know! But then I suppose that just resonates with my own lack of self control and addiction to wee sticks!

Kat - if you ovulated later than you thought then it could well have been...... do you usually spot before AF?

Hold on till Friday saggy - I've got a good feeling about you too! I know what you mean about your mean flitting from am I/aren't I! Bleurgh!

Fingers crossed for a Friday BFP on this thread!!!!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 09/07/2013 16:17

Maybe Kat! I had 3 days of spotting last week.
I would POAS now, but if I don't, then there's hope, IYSWIM! If I POAS and its BFN then Ill be miserable and waiting for a late show AF. If I make it to Friday, that's BFP day, right?! Confused
I swing from 'I am' to 'Im not'. I was }{ this close to hurling this morning, but Ive had cramps this afternoon. Ive got chronically sore boobs, but Im not tired or peeing overly!
I suppose time will tell either way.

DearlyDepartedMrsFinch · 09/07/2013 14:32

saggy, I have such a good feeling about you Grin!

aly I have had AF on a high temperature day, then a drop in temperature for CD2. I have also started to drop in temperature a couple of days before AF appears. So in my case it varies from one cycle to the next. I have also had a high temperature on 18DPO, taken a (negative) HPT, then AF appeared a few hours later. That was a happy month, I can tell you!

I currently have post-ovulation temperatures despite it only being CD9 because I am full of cold Sad. Coughing, feverish and croaky-voiced and feeling very sorry for myself. Boo hoo!

BirdsDoIt · 09/07/2013 13:59

aly in answer to your question re temping I think if you get high temps for 18 days after ovulation that means you're almost certainly pg. it's a lot of days to wait!

saggy this is all sounding v promising. You hold out till Friday, girl (BAD tomkat trying to lead you astray!!) - just think, if you are pg, that's three fewer days of worrying and wanting to go for a scan - in my weird logic...

flohs · 09/07/2013 13:11

Aly exciting about being starving! No symptoms here at all apart from usual PMT ones. Argh. Am beginning to forget how it felt the time I was pregnant, which doesn't help.

Kat - hmmmm - but I guess every pregnancy is different.... Excellent work on gym and zumba though - I really need to start doing more.

Got everything crossed for you two and of course saggy! Just week this week would hurry on!

Tomkat79 · 09/07/2013 11:27

Just caught up with this thread...so sorry nearly. So so shite.

We also dtd 9 times over fertile window....and then AF got me :-(

Am currently in Spain with BF and the kids. Nice to relax before going home to bang for England x

saggy please poas like NOW...desperate to know! Xx

alyant79 · 09/07/2013 11:14

I'm due sun/mon. Going to test on friday even though it's probably a bit early.
I've started to get a bit of back ache which either means AF is going to come, OR it's because i've been running around like a headless chook this morning. I'm hoping for the latter :)
I'm STARVING which has always been a pregnancy symptom for me...

Great positivity saggy

Everything will be ok if I can get to Friday! Grin

flohs · 09/07/2013 10:32

Hi everyone! Day 22 here and trying realllllly hard not to obsess. Not doing great but perhaps a little better than usual. Today cramps have kicked in which has made me a bit disappointed. AF due Monday but have in past cycles since MC have been spotting a few days before so might know on Fridayish if it's on its way.

nearly I am so sorry for you - it's so hard. It's all so rubbish and unfair.

saggy - argh this is exciting. How long are you holding out for to POAS - nice self-control!

Aly Kat when are you due?

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 09/07/2013 10:16

Me to Kat AF was due sunday gone. Im holding out for Friday! Grin
