bella I would wait. I tested early to start with but always got bfn and it was disappointing and a waste of bloody money! It seems easier to cope with if af arrives so now i don't test at all. If i am a couple of days late i will test then as have been a regular 25/26 days for 10 months now. Good luck whatever you decide.

Penis fish - thanks for that spotti! They are gross! But srrangely compelling.......

Does anyone else wait til their late before testing?

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 18:32

Sorry to read that, Jo. Good news that the B6 is working, albeit it a little slowly! I have a similar cycle 'issue' to you. Hope we crack it!

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 18:30

Just read that back! Not that your friends are potentially abusive-I just meant generally! Blush

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 18:28

I Agree, English. Nature doesn't discriminate meaning that even the most wonderful of future parents can struggle and potentially abusive parents that you read about can find it easy Envy

bellaboo88 · 06/03/2014 17:52

Cinner - Id be telling me to too...Chocky....thx for the sensible refresher...I said I wouldn't! Will see how I feel at 6.30am (taking parents to drop off for bus trip, shock to my system that time in a morning!)

I've felt rubbish since I last posted, like I'm really swimmy & can't stand up without dizziness.

I get cramps before AF :-( x

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/03/2014 17:37

It just seems so unfair. I'm happy for them just so Envy. There's some ladies here who have had real struggles and then I see people who get upduffed just looking at their dp's!
I really hope that you all get yours soon, but especially the long standing bus travellers! And me... Obviously! Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 06/03/2014 17:24

English I came off fb after my 3rd one for the whole of feb while we weren't trying. Everyone was announcing their pregnancies or births it seemed and as happy as I was, I was bloody well pissed off!!
I share your Angry and Envy

There seriously must have been something in the water in December.. That or lots of pissed DTD, it seems like there's a new fb preggo announcement everyday! When will it be my turn!! feeling pretty meh! Especially as ov is taking it's sweet time! AngryAngrySadSad

I've had implantation bleeding before at 6dpo and got my BFP at 10dpo but there was more blood and less pain. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if af starts or not. I wish you could just wake up one morning and just know you were pregnant, you never notice any of these things until ttc, lol.

SaRaRaRaRa · 06/03/2014 17:06

Bella test!

Lol at your chat up texts cine Grin

Nordic I hope you feel better soon Thanks

linda, I usually get AF cramps during the first couple of days of AF. Sometimes before. Not sure when is most usual to get them tho. Your spotting sounds confusing.

Treaclepie19 · 06/03/2014 17:05

Missed so much! Hi everyone! :)

Cd14 for me, still on flashing smileys. Come on solid!!!

Still feeling unwell so hoping that wont affect my cycle.

Choccywoccydodah · 06/03/2014 17:02

Linda due to all the stretching etc I was told that you can spot anytime. They still call it 'implantation bleeding' even when you're a few weeks past proper implantation of that makes sense? It can be eggy burrowing in further. Fingers crossed that's what you're getting x

Choccywoccydodah · 06/03/2014 17:00

Actually just looking at my calendar I was 9dpo in November and January!! But a proper line at 12dpo

OP posts:
Jo178 · 06/03/2014 16:59

Hi ladies, think I'm out this month. After what seemed like a very faint line on ic at 10dpo, I started orange spotting yesterday which has now turned more red which is what happened last month before full AF. Still the b6 seems to have lengthened my luteal phase by one day so now just need to crack the late ovulation! Onwards and upwards! Here's to next month and a December baby! Good luck to all with BFPs or who are still to test. Xx

lindamagoo · 06/03/2014 16:58

English I always get spotting for 5 days before af but it's always fresh red unlike this and this spotting just started last night when af is due tomorrow... Is 12dpo too late for IB?

Choccywoccydodah · 06/03/2014 16:58

Bella personally I'd wait until 14dpo. I'm an avid 12dpo girl and have been 12dpo when I've had my bfps, but this time I'm waiting Smile

OP posts:
EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/03/2014 16:46

Linda, I think it varies woman to woman. I know people that get them for a few days before AF. Could your spotting be implantation?? Mine was brown and had a few cramps.

lindamagoo · 06/03/2014 16:43

Can I ask you all a quick question about af cramps? Do you get or do you know if it's common for really bad cramps to start before af arrives? I've only ever get them once af starts but I've had them really bad since Tuesday and still only spotting (brown when it's normally red) no full af yet, was wondering if the early cramps could just be because of stopping the pill?

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 16:33

Oh, and on page 20, in the list there, there are a few of the posters who have details with a ??? on your list, with their full details. HTH Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 16:27

Hey Mrs B - Seem to have been missed of your list -

KittyVonCatsington TTC # 1 Cycle 4 BFP Due 31st March

nosaint · 06/03/2014 15:29

Thanks for the new penis dragons, Spotti, I hope they will inspire more BFPs on this bus Smile

Nordicmom · 06/03/2014 15:05

I Wish you best of luck and hope you'll be ok allthequeens. I've been in your shoes so many times it's horrible . Fingers crossed the spotting stops !

Nordicmom · 06/03/2014 15:03

I'm still nauseous and breasts hurt a bit on and off too . It's 3 d after the expected period that came 3 d early . I got the boots offer frers too and did one but bfn . I'll have to move on . It's either my illness and / or the lingering small amount of hormones since I think I must have conceived but then failed early based on how I felt and past experiences . It's infuriating I feel pregnant but I know I'm not I've never gotten a late positive .
Anyway when someone does stats next can you please update mine to
Nordicmom ttc #3 BFP 28.3. Or before
At least I should get another chance this month .
Also I won't have a break for Christmas baby . Feel like it's so unlikely to work anyway besides don't care when it'd be born if I'm lucky enough ever to succeed ...
I'll need to catch up on the couple of last pages ...

Cineraria · 06/03/2014 14:22

You are asking us lot to vote Bella? You must know what the answer will be! Nobody loves a test better than this crowd plus we are only just on target for this month now, so we need more good results! Hope yours is a good one!

Sorry to hear your worries Allthequeens. I hope the spotting stops and your doctor puts your mind at rest when you visit.

Love the new photos Spotti. Just what we need to top up our luck now.

DH emailed me yesterday to say that he doesn't think a text message saying "I have a positive OPK and CM you could use for bungee jumping!" is a very good chat up line (really didn't know I still needed good chat up lines now I’m married and anyway, he was wrong as it seemed to have worked perfectly well when I got home!), so today I just sent him a photo of the OPK with the title "Still strong; hope you are!" Let’s hope that meets with his approval.

bellaboo88 · 06/03/2014 13:00

He he thx for dragon penis - always good giggle!

Thx missmrs

Just popped in boots & got frer bog of (4 tests for £10.49) so I'm saving them.

Had a bad dizzy spell, crouched down to go in a box, awful :-(

Soooo tempted to test tomorrow...will be 12dpo.

Vote time - test or wait?

I don't 'feel' preggers but wouldn't know what it felt like
Cramps daily
Dizziness today (11dpo) (6dpo) (7dpo)
Bit constipated (compared to past 2months of a quits)
Bloated & sensitive right nipple
Cough/bad throat & boiling hot from 7dpo & exhausted within 2minutes of carpet shampooing
Peeing every hour and a half but never feel empty?
