We're are getting dangerously close to 1000 posts on the other bus so thought I would start another one. Will update stats in another post. Fingers Crossed for lots more BFPs Grin

rememeber when yo get your bfp, you're already classed as 4 weeks pg. That why it doesn't aways add up with the whole 9 months on bit.

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 21:02

My due date based on my af starting today would be 4th dec which is quite funny cos that's my mums birthday! I thought it would be later in dec then that

toots123 · 26/02/2014 20:54

Ive been using pregnancy companion app and it has lots on it! You can work out dates on it too.
Then when you are pg it gives you week by week info of whats happening with you and baby :)

Im glad alcohol is fine when CW since ive just poured my second glass of wine!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 26/02/2014 20:48

Oh no sorry Emily!
Yes missmrs I do! Obviously better for BFP to come but these last few days I always seem to just want to know either way and have a wine and a rest for a few days! You can find you 'due date' on here or on countdown to pregnancy. Mine confuses me though as it says it would be the 6th December but my next BFP would be due at the end of March so I would of thought it would be the end of December???

mama31 · 26/02/2014 20:42

Haha! We've just had this convo on the March thread, everyone so far is saying drink until you get a bfp. I'm on crotchwatch, but given that I'm on cycle 9 I've made sure to live life as usual until I see a line.

Ladies there are lots of online calculators that will give your due date, when you put in date of ovulation or date of start of last af and length of cycle. Google due date calculator and it should come up.

missmrsmummy · 26/02/2014 20:36

Thanks Emily

LittleMiss - my due date would be Christmas Day too!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 26/02/2014 20:33

I've got an app called Ovulation Mum, you put in you last period dates and it tells you all your next fertile times and resulting due dates for the next 6 months!! Hahaha! Obsessed? Moi?

katecupoftea · 26/02/2014 20:33

Cratch reminds me a bit of snatch. What about CW? After all, when on mn only an acronym will do!

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 20:30

Crotch watch or cratch.. Perhaps new abbreviation?!

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 20:29

Alcohol is most advised during crotch watch :)

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 20:27

Missmrs I am also quite relieved af has come as you say can now chill, move on and not have anything to obsess over till next fertile period and then the tension begins again lol x

katecupoftea · 26/02/2014 20:27

I want the prosecco but husband is marking so won't have any. Is alcohol ill-advised in crotchwatch limbo land?

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 20:26

Missmrs I've been doing it by counting 40 weeks from period start date but I could be wrong!

mama31 · 26/02/2014 20:17

Missmrs I'm usually relieved if I'm been spotting for 5-7 days prior to af as I just want it to come so I can get on with it....but still do feel gutted that it's arrived as I always have a little bit of hope until full flow. It's a mix of emotions really. I'm always relieved when af is finishing and we can crack on with dtd but then after days on end dtd I am relieved to get a rest! It's just a vicious cycle....does it ever end?!!!!

missmrsmummy · 26/02/2014 20:08

Ps anyone else feel a bit of relief when AF has started? It means you have have a rest from obsessing! Mine's just finishing so gearing myself up for cycle #4!

missmrsmummy · 26/02/2014 20:07

Ooh how do you work out what your due date would be? There's another way for me to waste time! Grin

mama31 · 26/02/2014 20:07

Kate in answer to your question (sorry got distracted with the prosecco chat) no I don't feel sick at all, but it is very similar to when your mouth fills with water when you do feel sick....but there's no sickness....just hunger and pure greed! it's like it watering for more food, even after I have just finished a huge dinner and wedge of cheesecake!

mama31 · 26/02/2014 20:05

Snap Kate! I have a bottle of prosecco in the fridge and have been eyeing it up! also DH got some good news re work today so I got it for him, he's on his way home and if he decides to open it not sure I could resist!

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 19:42

Thanks Kate mmmm prosecco my favorite! Good luck hope u get your bfp x

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 19:42

Not at all littlemisssunshine I am always looking ahead and planning dates :)

katecupoftea · 26/02/2014 19:22

Oh no emily so sorry! Good luck on the March bus and I'm sure I'll see you over there as feel like I'm going to get af any second.

Turns out tesco hide pregnancy tests under the desk of their pharmacist. I was all embarrassed when asking for some frers!

mama do you feel sick? When I feel sick I get wet-mouth. Is it like that?

I have a bottle of prosecco in the fridge with my name on. Would it be wrong?

LittleMissSunshine33 · 26/02/2014 19:12

Hey all! Only two more days on the bus, still a day of hoping!! Have an inspection on Monday so should at least keep me busy over the weekend if AF hasn't come!
I've already looked at my dates for next month and what would be my due date if I was to get pregnant ... is that strange??

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 19:10

I'm out!! Spots of blood when I wiped tonight. Kind of nice knowing firmly that I'm not pg and that I can now move on. Took drugs as soon as I saw the blood as the cramping has been awful!! Here's to next month and dec baby!

toots123 · 26/02/2014 18:42

Evening all!
What a shit day ive had but came home to my frer's from amazon! Wont have time tomorrow morning to test so either friday or Saturday!

mama31 · 26/02/2014 18:28

Hi ladies hope you are all ok and enduring the last few days of feb! We need some bfp's to end the bus on a happy note.

It's hard to say when af is due, my last cycle was 26 days and that's been my longest cycle, they usually range between 23 and 25 days. However I am taking vitex this month and it apparently can lengthen short cycles so I may get a 28 day cycle for the first time ever! I'm on cd23 today, spotting has completely stopped, just have some wet cm now. No twinges or cramps at all. No pre af zits like usual, but could also be down to the vitex. I do have very slight sore bbs which is completely normal pre af for me (they would usually be a bit more achy but may get so in the next couple days). The only thing I've really noticed is being hungry (pms?) and today seemed to have a lot of saliva in my mouth, don't even know what that's about.

I've just had a huge dinner and my mouth is watery as if I'm hungry....bizarre! I'm sure it's my body/mind playing it's usual tricks on me.

Writer not long now!!! So exciting! Glad you get to meet your little man soon x
