Well I thought I'd get the ball rolling and start up the October bus, there's plenty of Cake and Wine on board and extra comfy seats for relaxing into those BFP's

Mrswalsh I think we are very similar dates... I have a lot of symptoms mainly relating to bloating and back pain but I know last time I didn't feel anything until I was a few days late. I am testing on Friday next week assuming AF doesn't come first....

CleverOl10 · 02/10/2013 21:45

Actually think it was Sunday for the bfn!

CleverOl10 · 02/10/2013 21:44

I tested on Saturday and got a bfn then today (when af due) and got a bfp. Don't know if that helps with deciding when to test.

mrswalsh77 · 02/10/2013 21:28

Congratulations to all the lovely ladies who have got their BFPs!! So exciting!
I'm 6dpo and finding it hard not to symptom spot......here's my growing list of wierd symptoms (I don't really get PMT as a rule):
Sore lower back
Boobs feel huge
Very windy (tmi)
Clumsy
Upset tummy
Moody / argumentative
Emotional
Horrible taste in my mouth
Could this be the BFP I've been waiting for?!? Or am I causing all these symptoms by being wound up about it?!
How early can I test??

Choccywoccydodah · 02/10/2013 21:15

Raraz, buy some next day delivery IC tomorrow, piac Friday morning and keep it safe until tests arrive, test, show your dh your bfp Grin

mama31 · 02/10/2013 21:04

Jessie do you take b6?? If so what dose? Maybe ill cut the dose down again, I used to take 10mg a day anyway but increased to 50mg, might go down to 20mg! But just guesswork really :/ wish I knew what to do for the best!

RaRaZ · 02/10/2013 21:03

What would you do???

I'm due AF on Monday. DP is currently away, back on Fri. I'm tempted to buy a pg test tomorrow and do it Friday morning, just because I think it would be wonderful to welcome him home by telling him he's going to be a daddy if it's positive. But....is there any point? Will it even show up that early if I am pg? What would you do? I don't want to waste money, but it is tempting...

RaRaZ · 02/10/2013 21:02

Sorry to butt in, but re B6, how much are you taking? I'm taking 3 tablets a day, each with 142% of your RDA in them. I assumed that was a lot, but apparently it's only 6mg Hmm. Anyway, it hasn't lengthened my cycle at all, but it has helped with PMS and possibly progesterone levels.

jessieagain · 02/10/2013 21:00

lh good luck tomorrow! I had a look and couldn't see anything, hopefully it comes up clearer for you.

Welcoe back international I'm glad things are working out

jessieagain · 02/10/2013 20:52

I don't have any experience with b6 problems but would it help if you take less so maybe alternate days (taking just folic acid on the days when you don't take the b6 supplement)?

mama31 · 02/10/2013 20:32

Funkymonk I'm a bit worried now, don't know what to do about b6, do you think I should stop taking it?? I really don't want a very long cycle and really late ovulation :/ last month it increased my cycle from 23 to 26 days and LP from 10 to 13 so was pleased, but would prefer it to stay that way!!

Not sure what to do now :/

sebsmummy1 · 02/10/2013 20:28

Funkymonk I have read that about b6 and it worries me. I started taking it about a week ago so was hoping it might help my LP next month. Hmmm food for thought.

charleslingus · 02/10/2013 20:24

Hi Sebsmummy, I'm a Sebs mummy too! Welcome!

Sparrowlegs248 · 02/10/2013 20:07

Evening all, just wondering if anyone else has a 25 day cycle and if so what day do you ov?

Also, random observation.....remember the 'So Solid Crew' song, 21 seconds to go? Its been in my head for these last four months with slightly different lyrics....17 days to go, i got 17 days to go......

Its like bloody water torture!!

funkymonk · 02/10/2013 20:05

Congrats bfp's!
mama and imaginary I started b6 last cycle. 50mg each day. Was made up when it made luteal phase 13days instead of 12 and one day less spotting. This month different story. I ov on day 17 usually. By day 18 not even faint line on opk. I stopped b6 immediately and eventually Ov'd on cycle day 23! So late!! It's now cycle day 26 and period won't come until day 36 now probably! I've read b6 can stop ovulation not just delay it. Had I not stopped taking it then I may not have got the positive opk.

sebsmummy1 · 02/10/2013 20:02

Congratulations clever xxx

sebsmummy1 · 02/10/2013 20:01

Hi everyone. I am averaging a 27 day cycle but due to breast feeding seem to have ovulated late cd17/18. I'm now 8/9 dpo and I'm due on today or tomorrow.

I thought I might have seen the faintest of lines this morn on a HPT , but equally it could have been an evap line. Other symptoms are my cervix seems to have risen whereas last month before AF it was low and firm. I have a small amount of stretchy CM, a chilli craving when I've never cared for them previously and some heart burn, but that's probably from the chiliis lol

Hoping AF stays away.

LH1981 · 02/10/2013 19:58

Yay Clever!! Can you post a pic??

CleverOl10 · 02/10/2013 19:50

I've poas three times today and all I think looked positive. My DH saw the last and agreed. One more digital one with fmu tomorrow and I'll accept it's true.

FX to those poas tomorrow xx

MarlenaGru · 02/10/2013 19:32

Good luck for you next test LH!
Last time was so much easier as it was a complete surprise so no stress and a huge dose of denial.

LH1981 · 02/10/2013 19:28

Hi Marlena, plenty of room! Smile although don't ask me how to stay cool calm and collected, because I am the queen of crazy at the moment!

Ibelieve, I know what you mean - I just feel it too, but can't help worry that it's all in my head Blush

MarlenaGru · 02/10/2013 19:23

Is there room for one more please?
I have been lurking for a few days now but really struggling to maintain sanity so thought I would post.
I am TTC #2 although with a fairly big gap.
As far as I can tell I can test on the 11th... If I stay sane until then.
How am I supposed to not symptom spot and stress until then?

panicmechanic · 02/10/2013 19:21

Congrats again all. Raraz I am not sure what I looking at but there is quite a lot of it. Damn I didn't temp or use opks as I was pretending to play in cool this month (its my 11th cycle)

IBelieveInEngels · 02/10/2013 19:20

It's been really bugging me trying to work out what they mean!

Yep lh! I know the line is there. DH is playing it cool ("wasn't it there befoee you peed on it?" Errr NO!) but I've also had nausea all day which has only ever happened when I was pg last time. So I just KNOW!

LH1981 · 02/10/2013 19:07

Oooh, so we're in the same boat then Ibelieve?
ewcm means egg-white cervical mucus, which is the most fertile type.
opk is something to do with ovulation tests I think??
