Anyone care to join me for this interminable length of waiting time?! I'm only 1 dpo! Brew

Me af is due on the 2nd or 3rd I think. I just added 14 days onto the day I ov and that's my educated estimate.

Don't panic about symptoms though - it's still a bit early for those and you won't necessarily get the same symptoms as last time anyway.

Sorry for late reply VJONES my Internet connection on hols is shocking!!

I don't have a clue when I ovulated, except having bad cramps, AF due around 4th sept. the pinkish tinge has gone now so god knows what that was maybe the position we did it?!

No other symptoms and I remember having sore boobs last time.....

GnomieGrace · 25/08/2013 10:23

Looks like I'm out for this month as this has progressed to a full blown period, which is odd as I started to bleed on CD 17, oh well pass the chocolate ice-cream, sauce and brownies actually just anything that has any cocoa in it at all :-(

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 10:20

Line eye? Ha ha! I will totally have that when I test next weekend.

MrsHugh · 25/08/2013 08:00

I'm right there with you! It's been a weird cycle this month as I don't really know when day 1 of lmp was(long story)! So I have no idea when ovulated, or when my AF is due...

The should I test/shouldn't I test battle has commenced! I can hardly wait for 'line eye' when I imagine that line on the hpt...

Raaahhhhh

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 21:12

Thanks! Had sign if ov and positive opks so hopefully I did ovulate. Good luck too!

LBMarie77 · 24/08/2013 21:09

oh, yeah, the pill always messes up 1st few cycles from experience, hard to tell until you have had a few periods and get back into a regular cycle. Best of luck!

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 20:58

I don't really know as came off the pill two weeks ago I'm guessing it'll be two weeks after ov which means I've got 9 days to go.

LBMarie77 · 24/08/2013 20:42

I should try an ovulation kit to see actual ov, just new so havn't done anything non-organic. Interesting you are days 18/19 too on ov. When is your AF due?

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 20:26

Yeah, always best to use your body as guidance. For example, I ov this month on cd18/19 so I wasn't 'average' either :)

LBMarie77 · 24/08/2013 19:58

I'm pretty sure I ovulate a little later than 14 days...between week 2 and 3 I feel from body changes but it's still possible. Partner works away so only do it when we can/possible anyway. And thanks 985 x

internationallove985 · 24/08/2013 19:44

Hi LBMarie. It's lovely to have you on board. xxx

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 19:39

You need to look for signs if ovulation or use ovulation prediction tests to help you work out when best to dtd.

LBMarie77 · 24/08/2013 18:41

Hi all. Fingers crossed for you ladies. Hope it's ok to jump in, my AF due tomorrow but have been feeling tummy period like but also slightly sharper twitches in my belly low down for over a week. Did the business day 9 and 10 and have a 28 day cycle so I thought a bit early really in my cycle but I just feel a bit weird :-/ what do you think chances are really? Dont usually get such bad pmt symptoms, not had kids so hard to tell! x

Nulanoo · 24/08/2013 17:56

All this ttc malarky is confusing! I've now got ewcm again, had it last weekend too! Off to a party tonight though so not worth worrying about!

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 17:15

No, you're right, it's 9 days on average. So I guess my symptoms are linked to pill withdrawal.

wispaxmas · 24/08/2013 17:03

I would expect you wouldn't have any symptoms whatsoever until implantation, which won't happen until anywhere from 6 to 12 dpo if I remember correctly. I could be wrong, but it's makes sense to me. Until the egg gets to the uterus I wouldn't expect your body to know what's up, would it?

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 16:12

I am going to be devastated if I get a bfn but really must stop symptom spotting! Am only 5 dpo and as Layla said, many women have no symptoms at all!!

Sorry for your losses, Layla xx

internationallove985 · 24/08/2013 15:45

Aww thanks Layla. xxx
On a serious note though so saddened to hear about your losses. I was devestated after one loss. I can't imagine how much pain you must feel in your heart after 5 losses. Of course all women should be given the wonder gift of becoming a mummy and having someone to love and care for but you especially deserve it. xxxx

layla1976 · 24/08/2013 15:39

internationallove this is for you Wine

layla1976 · 24/08/2013 15:37

p.s i've been pregnant 5 times..lost them all but had no spotting at all... or any syptoms to report til about 6-7 weeks so everyone is different...so dont panic if you dont have any syptoms , but if you do...then great ...thats REALLY POSITIVE!!!!!....goodluck xxxx

layla1976 · 24/08/2013 15:30

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 15:25

Lucy - how many dpo are you? Implantation bleeding happens (if at all) around 9 dpo.

Refoca · 24/08/2013 14:37

Congratulations Longtail :-)

But quesy over here, still just blaming the rotten cold I've had...

lucyfluff · 24/08/2013 14:35
