Big congrats supercalafraga saw your post after I'd done mine. How many days past ov were you when you tested?

EmJay9 · 18/08/2013 07:11

Well today is day 27 and 12dpo for me and still no sign of af. Bought some tests from superdrug yesterday but trying to hold off as long as I can before using them! Really don't feel like af is coming but don't really feel anything Confused since coming off the pill in April haven't really had proper bleeds tbh just spotting with a day or two of light flow but usually get cramps and irritable before. Good luck to everyone else still waiting.

Supercalafraga · 18/08/2013 07:08

Grin Grin Grin Grin I got a BFP! (two in fact!) AF due tomorrow but tested yesterday am and this am and got a line both times!

JellyBeanDavey · 18/08/2013 05:46

When is the best time to do a cb opk? After 8am? Or ok now as I have been awake since 4? don't ask me why

snoozysleeper · 18/08/2013 01:25

kitty I think you've got the best approach, fingers crossed for you!

Checking back in. This last week's been so strange. Before I start - congrats to the BFP's, and a glass of wine for BFN's.

Was due sometime between 14th - 21st. Still no AF, have had AF symptoms over a week now (usually just a week). Cramps intermittent (usually come on strong for a day and AF and cramps the 2nd day... but it's been on and off for about 4 days).

Testing everyday with ic's, but not even a faint line... totally confused. Will keep testing until AF arrives!

leezl I've got loads of tests in the bathroom but no way i'd test this early!!!!
When did you ovulate?! If you're 10dpo or more I'd say test but anything before that don't bother wasting your money!!

has anyone else noticed this - isn't it annoying that all the symptoms are exactly the same as premenstrual symptoms!! I keep spotting pregnancy symptoms, cramping, sore boobs etc but then remember that I feel that way just before AF arrives!! I have been feeling quite nauseous today, keep trying to tell myself that I'm coming down with something, or I'm literally making myself sick with obsessing over it!

leezl · 17/08/2013 21:40

Gilly this sounds so positive... For both of us GrinGrinGrin DH refused to buy a test today - he clearly has way more willpower than me, even though he is already convinced. Fingers crossed.

Vikkijayne2507 · 17/08/2013 18:26

hey gilly do you remember I said similar things to you regarding cramps too early for af you suggested I needed a poo lol I got a bfp instead sooooo you never know

VJONES1985 · 17/08/2013 18:25

Poor you! Here's hoping your cycles are calming down.

gillywillywoo · 17/08/2013 17:43

Wow thora those are 2 crazy cycles. I thought my longest cycle - 48 days - was bad! You poor thing.
Jump on the September bus and lots of luck to you Thanks

ImaginaryHat · 17/08/2013 16:53

Wow Thora I'm not surprised you're feeling a bit rough, those are two monster cycles.

As you say its good news that it's not another 100+ day cycle, hopefully next month will be much less again, or ideally a bfp.

Sending you a virtual hug x

ThoraNomiki · 17/08/2013 16:35

Congratulations to all the Aug BFP's so far.
I haven't been keeping up with the bus as I'm feeling a little down about all this TTC malarkey, with good reason. After a 63 day cycle AF turned up yesterday. I was away with family so I couldn't even soak in a tub and bawl my eyes out for a little while. Nevermind, at least 63 days is an improvement on 155 days from last cycle...

I hope everyone else on here is doing well and that there are lots more BFP's to come.

JellyBeanDavey · 17/08/2013 15:33

Just got another smiley... But I stuck one of the dual sticks (purple) in an old notmal digital monitor (pink one) and that came up with a smiley but when I did it last night it was just a circle. So I'm just trying an ic opk to see what happens I don't think that work for me

gillywillywoo · 17/08/2013 15:26

Interesting... I guess I just have to wait and see! Still got another week to go before I can test really!

Thanks ladies and good luck! FYI when I was pregnant with DD (who is now 2) I had cramps from 2 days after ovulation, no bleed and got a BFP 4 days before my AF was due! So you never know Gilly....

gillywillywoo · 17/08/2013 14:56

It's so weird cos I never feel like this unless AF is on the way Hmm

Probably a bit too early for implantation ... Expect my body is just playing tricks on me!

OP posts:
leezl · 17/08/2013 14:50

Gilly that's how I've felt since DTD around O time! I only cramped one day but I've also had nausea and a dizzy spell, and tiredness. How can anyone blame us for symptom spotting?? Grin Good luck

Original poster
gillywillywoo · 17/08/2013 14:44

It's way too early for me to be symptom spotting as I'm only 5-6 DPO. However.. All day today I've felt AF like symptoms... Cramps and twinges.. Aching back... If AF was due I would be SURE she was here because this is normally how I feel when she arrives! Except I'm definitely only about 5-6 DPO.
Weird.

ImaginaryHat · 17/08/2013 13:40

Woohoo positive opk today Smile

Lots of missing af's but bfn's around these past couple of days, hopefully some of them will be converted into bfp's in the next day or two! Sorry af got you panicmechanic Flowers
