Right - off out for my treat (early pre-show dinner and all that!) so want lots of news to come back to! Have a very bloated tummy so either AF is on her way or it is making a nice home for a little bean! Hazelbrowneyes - you have summed me up perfectly; we have the same symptoms - what gives!? Grin

What time is your appointment tomorrow TreaclePie? Keep us updated - we're with you every step of the way.

Still in limbo here. POAS this morning and bfn again. :(

Cd33, 23dpo and at least 5 days late.

Hazelbrowneyes · 19/02/2014 15:16

I'm possibly 8dpo (but I think more 5dpo due to cramps - not using OPKs so no idea!) and I have exactly the same symptoms as last month - turned out to be PMS symptoms. Lots of cramping and pulling, very bloated, itchy skin on pelvis and generally feel rubbish. Expecting AF rather than BFP to arrive next week.

Felt ok about it yesterday, feeling super blue today. Not only am I so desperate to fall pregnant but equally, if these are PMS symptoms, then it's pointing to me being destined to suffer with these for 7-10 days every month Sad

CursiveLetters · 19/02/2014 14:57

KittyVonCatsington not patronizing, super helpful! I haven't done one of these before

TTC #1, Cycle #9, BFP due 21 Feb

thanks!

mum2kiss · 19/02/2014 12:51

Oh and I had a feeling of pressure down below from about 7dpo which felt a lot like an inflated balloon! Sorry if thats tmi!

mum2kiss · 19/02/2014 12:50

Reading about so many of you getting post ov cramping.

I had mild cramping in my lower abdomen from around 9dpo. I got a feint bfp at 11dpo. The cramping continued until I was 5+6.

My other pre bfp symptoms were

swollen lymph node under left armpit from ov onwards
sore fire boobs from around cd11 until cd 13/14
Super human sense of smell from around 10dpo

missmrsmummy · 19/02/2014 12:27

Thanks for the new thread and updated stats, Kitty!

Pmsl about the bath water! Having another 'glad it's not just me' moment!

KittyVonCatsington · 19/02/2014 10:38

Another bath swallower here! Can't wait for the day when I jump up and down with happiness in a bathroom for the elusive BFP. Very glamorous me...

OP posts:
MrsExtraOrdinary · 19/02/2014 10:30

Impatience mn had been my saviour over many things! Swallowing bath water with my fanjo is just One of many things that has made me realise I'm fairly ordinary! Grin

impatienceisavirtue · 19/02/2014 10:20

Yep, fab work on the list kitty, much appreciated! And thank you for the good luck - package has been delivered, tis a waiting game now! Apparently it can take up to 14 days for results. Boo hiss.

MrsExtraOrdinary - been there haha! Glad it's not AF. And thank goodness for the internet - I bet there are many of us that felt a lot better when we discovered that the bath thing was not just us!

And yes, we're slightly unhinged starting testing at DPO.

Extra points if, like me, you do an opk and a HPT from that point just to, you know, cover all bases Grin

mama31 · 19/02/2014 09:40

Morning ladies!!!! Just read back and LOVE that some of you are poas from 6dpo!!!! Haha! Makes me feel slightly more "normal".

There's a lot of symptom spotting going on as well! Hoping they result in bfp's for you all. Sorry to hear of the bfn's! Hope it's just too early to detect!

No news here.....didnt manage the last dtd for luck last night....i was exhausted but can usually be persuaded by DH, however he had an awful day yesterday and was also feeling very tired/stressed so we give it a miss! Think we caught ovulation anyway....last night was just gona be for luck but there should be masses of sperm hanging around for that egg so hoping it won't be a problem!

Have a good day everyone! Will check in later to hopefully see the next bfp!!!!!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 19/02/2014 09:33

So driving back from taking ds to college, 2 he's driving, doubled up cramping, thought af had come while driving! Oh wonderful, but no my gapey fanjo had swallowed the bath water, not af at all!

Just did a test as would really like some painkillers to see me through today. Everything hurts. Bfn, as I knew anyway. Not upset, just inevitable really until my hormones settle which they will in a few months.

The longer af takes to show the worse pain I'll be in. Blinking endo. It would almost be a relief if af came now as I kind then in z few days I'd feel like a human as opposed to a neurotic bitch riddled with pmt.

sazzlehopes · 19/02/2014 09:17

Hi all, marking so I can continue to lurk!

Toots sorry that would be my fault - i think when I was reading through you must have said in one post you were out, but obviously you're not! It must have been spotting that I missed - sorry!!

Littlemiss - personally I would say just don't worry about anything until you actually see a line and get a bfp. We all test SO early on here, you know from the first moment before the embryo has a chance to connect up to you so you won't pass on anything, good or bad really until about 5/6 weeks. Don't stress, I'm glad I didn't put my life on hold for 14 months I think I would have gone mad! Be careful of course with excess of anything...but make sure you enjoy the things you like!

Kitty superb work on the list update...and BOLD too, very fancy, you deserve a Brew!!

All those with cramping, my 10 pence worth is I had no symptoms, still don't now except slightly bigger boobs (and I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow!) but I did have the weirdest sensation of a pulling feeling behind my belly button 9dpo.... incase that helps. I know I obsessed over everyone elses symptoms/signs!! Good luck ladies!

Owlie84 · 19/02/2014 09:12

Sorry Impatience, it sucks, doesn't it!
I'm 11dpo, and just caved and POAS - BFN :(. Kind of expected it, but still disappointed.

Sods law, impatience. These things are sent to try us! Putting off poas as i too hatemthat crushing feeling Sad Good luck with test!

Thanks for the update, mum2kiss-very useful to know!

OP posts:
impatienceisavirtue · 19/02/2014 08:39

11dpo so I know technically I'm still in the game but bfn again this morning was crushing. I don't understand. My other dcs were all (much loved!) results of contraceptive failure. Everyone used to joke about not standing too close to me in case I got pg as that seemed to be all it took. Now DH and I are trying... Nada.

DH has his, er, product testing this morning. Cheering myself up with childish lewd puns all morning at least :D

Morning all! I'll update the stats prompto-Sorry English must have been my mistake of trying to put a star after your name to embolden it and toots - you'll be added! (much rather be a lady what lunches Wink)

Today is the last day of ignorant bliss until I start fearing the dreaded AF and technically could start POAS. Had my first vivid BFP dream that some people seem to have. It seemed so real that actually felt quite sad upon waking up!!!

WineandChoccy -I had that plan this month-kept DTD up until CD26 in case of a slow releasing egg etc. hope at means we have both covered all bases!!!

Today I will be having my belated birthday present from DH-going to a fancy restaurant and then seeing Thriller in the West End. I know I should relax and enjoy myself with a drink or two, but then that little voice pops up and says what if???? Think I might go for some virigin cocktails in pretend!!

OP posts:
GeorgieWilson · 19/02/2014 08:14

Ps - it's cycle 1 for me

GeorgieWilson · 19/02/2014 08:13

Morning everyone,
I was on this bus at the beginning, been reading and keeping up with everybody. Congrats to all the BFPs, commiserations to all AF got and FX limbo is over quickly for everyone else.
CD 31 here. Last cycle was 41 days but 1st one after BF (currently DS 1 is 7 month). No idea how long this cycle will be but just going off last one should have OV'd last Thursday. Did OPK's until I ran out on sat but didn't get a positive, only once a day though so maybe missed it? Anyway only DTD twice last week/weekend so probably no chance this month but still hopeful.

RhiBee29 · 19/02/2014 07:52

Thanks kitty. I poas today...bullied into it by DH, got a bfn but its only 9dpo so will test again when back from hols if af doesn't hide in my suitcase!

Sleepingstarsmommy · 19/02/2014 07:47

Morning ladies. 11dpo and another bfn. Temp hasn't risen back up so I am pretty sure AF will arrive on Fri.
