New Year, New Hope. Jan Bus (part3)

Morning ladies. Bfn for me again. AF not due until Fri so didnt think I'd get anything different. Might try now and not test again until Thursday but will probably still test tomorrow This 2ww seems to be lasting forever despite having been busy working ridiculous hours.

Need to make decisions about what department I will want to work in the summer today but whether or not I will be pregnant affects my decision. If Im not I would prefer to be somewhere busy and hectic and consequently phsyically challenging often without a break for 12.5 hours dealing with acutely ill. If I am I would prefer somewhere slower paced where I am more likely to get a break. Please dont think I am using pregnancy to skive but after all my losses (the last one I was literally wheeled off the ward I was working to delivery suite by my colleagues) I have to be especially careful. Dont know what to do

Morning all

Writer, 9weeks!! How exciting

Ooh Sazzle I can't believe it's almost your poas time, seems to have flown by although probably not for you! Keeping fingers crossed for you.

Barmy have you poas?

We've spent a lovely weekend in Bath and enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night so still here! For anyone that's not been to Bath I would recommend it, it's a beautiful city.

Got kicked off early this month when AF arrived two weeks early but I think I might now sneak in a late one...

Been peeing on the OPKs since CD 4 with nothing exciting going on. Yesterday I thought the second line was a little darker than usual, but still nowhere near as dark as the control. Checked my CM on the off chance this morning, and it's stretchy! I've never monitored it before so this is way too exciting. DTD yesterday morning, but both too knackered to do it last night. Pinning DH down on a daily basis for the next couple of days though!

I've also been using soft cups that I had in the cupboard, I thought about my mooncup but that doesn't seem to hold the sperm close enough to the cervix IYSWIM.

This is only our 2nd cycle but we don't want a Christmas baby so desperate to get pg as early as possible . I am officially a madwoman

Very odd here....spotting appears to b be heavier now as if AF and I have typical feeling period pains. But I'm a week early and I've been a regular 27 days for the past year with no bless inbetween so I'm puzzled

That's literally pants missmrs! I'm sorry, if af doesn't properly materialise in a couple days I'm poas on Wednesday if you want to test again with company. I'm not very hopeful as I think i missed my best chance and I haven't got my head around all these adrieviations yet anyway Wednesday is my birthday and when af due. Don't want to spend the day wondering. That's right last af rudely arrived as my parents whirled through the door on Christmas Day! It was like a flood. I've got endo so this could be a long haul.

I've convinced myself I have pg symptoms but the same symptoms are af related for me too. I even had heart burn yesterday eve.

Oh no missmrs I hope not for you. Barmy good luck this morning if you are poas. I quickly peed away my fmu to avoid temptation! Going to see if I can manage that for the next few days...

Uh-oh. I may be out.

Very light pink cm this morning. I know people would say this could be implantation (I'm 9dpo) but this is exactly what happened last month - light pink for 3 days then full-on AF!

;-(

Haha yes Kitty and marking, and meetings and children (other people's) come to think of it!

Ooh good luck barmy! Fx for you!

You must be allergic to lesson planning!

Aren't we all!?

I'm poas tomorrow missmrs. I probably shouldn't be, but I went to buy 4 superdrug tests today... I'm not starting my new job until Feb so too much time for symptom spotting .

Ooh lots of symptoms going on for everyone!

Kitty glad you're not feeling sick anymore! Wonder why caused it? You must be allergic to lesson planning!

Mine came and went very quickly - must've been the huge meal I'd eaten!

Anyone poas tomorrow? I love waking up to news of BFPs!

Bingo try this - www.babymed.com/implantation-bleeding-and-spotting-and-symptoms

Thanks ladies. Hubby abroad for work until Thursday so don't want to worry him with it but at the same time very odd and needed to tell someone. Going to have to try hard to concentrate at work tomorrow x

Sorry babytinks hope you're ok!

Mrsb quite a few symptoms there fingers crossed for you! I have slight cramps and nipples are a little sensitive (TMI)

Bingo does sound like ib! Fingers X!

I've read that implantation bleeding/spotting is a normal pregnancy symptom and usually occurs from 6-12DPO, so this could be a good sign. No point in worrying at the moment - time will tell but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

Any advice.....have a tiny bit of spotting in my pants. I have never bled in between periods ever. I am a possible 7dpo. Is this something to worry about?

Ooh ive got ewcm....tiny bit but still lotion clear stuff going on! Sounds silly to say it but I've finally worked out where my cervix is today! Never been able to find it before!

Only two bits of this process I like....ewcm/DTD & poas. Koala plan nudc is painful!

Thx for updated stats list, can't believe how many bfps! X

littlemisssunshine I've had lots of symptoms this past day or 2. Alot of food and drink has tasted different, cramps and mega tired. You?

AF period started today, on a long 34 days cycle from last AF... Be on the feb bus now though yes!! :(

But good luck to all the jan girls! xxx

Writer - I'm on the February bus now, but good luck to everyone still on the Jan bus!

Ha, sazzle, will try my best! Symptoms = limited. Key one was af over a week late, boobs / nips a bit itchy and tender.

pesky boots bargain basement test failed to pick up the good news one day late but I upgraded to cooperative pharmacy test and got an immediate bfp first thing this morning. I had been lying in wait for husband to wake up so I could poas!!

Ooh one last thing, I remember exchanging giant chin spots with mama31 a month or two ago - chin is all clear but I have a whopper on my forehead!

Good luck, ladies - we genuinely thought it wasn't happening for us :)

MrsExtraOrdinary - and is this you trying for your first baby?

leptit - congratulations on your BFP!!!!! What are your stats so I can add you to the list?

sazzle - as much as I planned to start a new novel it just never seemed to materialise. I find daytime TV and MN far too distracting
