Moving on to May...Lets get start acting like Spring rabbits for BFPs in May.

oh yes Victoria, caffiene withdrawal is a bitch!! it does get better though, the first few days are the worst!!

I have just self diagnosed myself! The reason why I have been feeling so ill the last few days apart from having af is I've got CAFFEINE WITHDRAWAL!

Just realised that although af isnt coming on holiday with us, if I get my bfp I wont be able to drink and will have to tell family at 5 weeks as they will wonder why im not drinking on holiday!!! Oh well, still want our bfp!!

Yes we shall have fun tonight!

my stats are
toots123, 25, ttc#1 cycle 5 bfp due 14th may

Waffle I have my fingers X for you!! What a sad thing to have gone through.

English - thanks so much!! I'm not sure how clued up the rest of you were when you decided you wanted to start ttc, but I basically had to re-revise the human reproductive system practically in its entirety when I came off the pill. I didn't know half of the key stuff!!! And I like to think of myself as an educated woman... Scary. Very much appreciate your real-life advice to supplement the online resources!! Am not speaking to any of my friends about any of this, mostly as I don't want anyone wondering how long it will take but also as I've never been comfortable talking about this bodily stuff. Praise be to Mumsnet!

Oh that sounds awful waffley, hope you get a bfp soon.

CHandlers... on average most people would expect af 14days after ovulation. I tend to have a 13 days luteal phase typically.
And when to test is a completely personal thing! A lot of the ladies on here like to test early. I myself would rather af turn up than get bfn. So this time round i'm aiming to hold out until 15dpo

Lol chandler...I am at my desk (at home today) doing some major symptom spotting! Lots of cramping in my tummy - started about an hour ago and a wee bit nauseous as well.....but that could have been the bottle of wine I drank last night but I don't usually get cramps from drinking wine.....I am 7dpo........implantation maybe?! Roar !!

Wow Waffle that sounds like a nasty experience to go through. Must have been heartbreaking. Good luck to you this time

MissMrsMummy . Basically i got a positive test and 2 weeks later started bleeding. I was still getting a positive test a week later and went to GP who referred me to EPU clinic. A scan could find nothing but a pocket of blood but my HCG levels were still high. So basically your womb is empty but you are getting a postive result. I had an injection of methotrexate to expel what was left but it was 8 weeks before my HCG levels returned to normal.

Sorry for giving you my life story.

Lol at chandler

Thanks English!

ChaircatMiaow, 34, TTC#1, cycle#2, BFP due May 13

Also I went for a curry last night which was the richest thing I've eaten in time... Has totally blown all of my desk-based symptom spotting out of the water today!! Bloated? Check... Gas? Ummhmmm... Cramps/Twinges...? Yep... Nausea? If I think back to how much I ate, then yeeeeeeeeeah... So essentially, being pregnant is just like a curry hangover. With more CM. Sounds fab!!

I'm not even getting so much as a false positive! I had a line last month on an ic but then got bfns after so I don't know what it was.

Wafffley what's a PUL?

I'm waiting for AF as well. I always get 3 days of spotting before full flow so I'm guessing she'll be here any day! Also got some swabs today with the nurse so hope I don't get AF in the middle of that

Thanks English you are a star as usual

Thanks a mil for the stats English! I'm estimating AF will appear around 9-11 May just because I think I ov'd on Friday 25, and according to what I've read online you're supposed to get your AF on average 14 days later. Is that the case for you guys? And you all start to test from 10 DPO?

Thanks for stats English....it's a busy old bus!! Ding ding and hold on tight for some BFPs !! Roar!!

MissMrsMummy i think i am 10dpo according to fertility friend and i had spotting this morning and cramping. scared to go to the toilet in case AF is making a very early appearance. I had a PUL last year and since we decided to try again every twinge in my body is sending me bananas. this is our first cycle of properly trying. I really need to relax and stop obsessing!!

Thanks English

I've banned myself from ics for this month - I've heard of too many false positives over the past few weeks - that really would tip me over the edge!

I have two frers in my stash and they will not be used until as close to d day as possible ignores fact I said the same last month

Lol MissMrs, we all get crazy with tests, you'd think we'd learn by now

Fingers I just had them done on Friday, didn't have to wait long at all for results

Hi everyone

Congratulations fancy! Linda hope your line gets darker.

I must have missed Starbright as well so congratulations!

I am 7DPO, have had a bit of spotting and cramps. Have done a test today and yesterday because I'm mental and bfn obvs. I only have 2 ics left! Don't think I will buy any more. I don't want to get any more crazy!

Thanks Linda

Brilliant news about your 21 day bloods

How long ago were they taken?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get your BFP on the 4th

Good luck with your bloods fingers
