Marking my place! Yay to the bfp's and booooooo to AF!!

Currently 10dpo, loads of symptoms.... But that's the same as every month, I'm a terrible symptom spotter Confused BFN yesterday and today I'm also a fully paid up member of poasaholics! I did get my first positive opk this month on soy so really really hoping we get a soy bean Smile.

I just wanted to ask those who've has their BFP's who are still around: any of you had a pulling sensation almost uti like feeling around 6-7dpo? I had it all of a sudden when I went from sitting to laying in the bath and had to pull my knees up quickly as it was really painful, it disappeared as suddenly as it started- hoping its a SYMPTOM haha!!

How on earth did any of you make sense of my last post? Autocorrect went a bit bonkers, sorry.

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 13/10/2014 21:08

12 dpo today, or 9dpo, because FF is dithering. Either a BNF or an evap for me this morning. Did another one around 5pm and have the same sort of evap markings, but only if I tilt the tests. It's what I had last month when I had a chemical pregnancy and something was 'off' enough with the ic that made me do a FRER.

Last month came up properly on a FRER, and CB digi as 1-2. I've ordered both of those from Amazon, as I'd rather know if it is going to be another chemical, but AF could be here before the tests. I don't think I want to know badly enough to go to Boots for one, but we'll see. There are no bounds to my TTC mentalness sometimes!

(Can I have a prize for squeezing so many abbreviations into my post, please? Grin )

Does the whole rage with dh = bfp thing still work if I've been pissed off with him since ov date (10 days ago) and not spoken to him since yesterday lunch time? Hope so because right now, the thought of dtd with him again makes me even angrier! ConfusedAngry

Frolicacid · 13/10/2014 21:00

So, I saved up my wee for 4 hours and tested - BFN Sad

But I have just vomited my dinner Smile

I think I may as well just wave goodbye to my saintly for the next few days!

Sorrry things are rough katy. I think we forget how tough this is on men. Maybe he's feeling a bit fragile about everything. I hope you get to talk about things. Most of what I've read seems to suggest that eod is fine as well. Take care Thanks

Had to have Pregoween following on from pregtober ;) natural succession!

Sorry it's a Bfn mama Thanks

Katybear123 · 13/10/2014 20:45

Lucieloo, spinning, cariad, ma, treacle u r all amazing.

I will try to keep the faith. Cariad I love the idea of being angry helping I should get quads if that's the case!! Lucie loo thank u for restoring the faith re eod, let's see :-). Glad u sound like u had a positive appointment to.

Ttc really is hard work isn't it, ma we will defo still talk might just wait till ovulation is over though I'm not my most rational at that time!

Boosk · 13/10/2014 20:45

Lucie so pleased the scan went well, that must be such a relief for you and how lovely to have a reassuring lady looking after you.

katy sorry you are having such a shitty time. FX for your bfp so you can get on maternity leave asap.

A bit confused today and reassessing when I ovd. Originally thought Friday as had stabbing pain but not much cm. Some ewcm on Sat and Sun. Today more cramps and really slippery cm so do you think ov was today and not Friday?

Really wish I was temping or on the opks so I had a better idea of what on earth is going on. Hmm

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2014 20:40

Thanks Kitty :) I am always washing my hands. Problem is I'm in nursery so I'm constantly around their saliva/poo/wee/vomit.
Hope you're ok kitty :)

KittyVonCatsington · 13/10/2014 20:38

Treacle my one year old nephew currently has Hand Foot and Mouth and my GP said I would be fine. Even getting infected won't harm the baby/blastocyst like rubella and chickenpox can. Just make sure you are constantly washing your hands and/or using anti-bac gel. xxx

rubyrubes13 · 13/10/2014 20:36

Well had some slightly brown streaked mucus had this Thursday and thought af was coming but nada nothing let's hope something happens tonight

MaMaPo · 13/10/2014 20:33

Morning all! I'm sat in the vathroom having just poas and waiting for the result. My AF was due yesterday and still isn't here this morning. Temp is still high-rise but completely unreliable today as I had a truly terrible sleep! DH is unwell and fell asleep early, then I woke at 1am with him shivering so hard the whole bed was moving. Poor man! Ive had only patchy sleep since then.

OK - BFN. I will continue to play the waiting game. Today is 11dpo and I'm using and ic so I won't count myself out just yet. But if I am out - come on AF!

Lucia, so pleased for your positive appointment. It makes such a difference to get a good clinician when you're worried about things.

Katy, that sounds so tough. I'd be passed off too. Make sure you keep talking to each other about how this ttc lark is making you feel because I think it should stressful for everyone.

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2014 20:29

I'll have a google. It's a bit late really as I'm 3dpo and been around the child already.

Cariad2014 · 13/10/2014 20:29

Glad your scan went well Lucy - you must be so relieved. Fx you get that long awaited BFP very soon.

Loving the apples dream MaG.

There are definitely some very promising symptoms on this bus. Can't wait to dust down my pom poms and cheer on the next BFP.

Katy - If it's any consolation, I have a theory (based on my numerous journeys on the buses) that the person who gets super angry with their DP/DH around ov is practically guaranteed to get a BFP. Of the June EDDs it was Mrs E and her angry sex. Before that, there was definitely a member of the May AN thread. Big hugs.

Mumwannabe82 · 13/10/2014 20:25

So 10dpo tomorrow and due AF thursday, do you think I should test tomorrow morning?

spinningirl10 · 13/10/2014 20:24

Not sure what he advice would be there Treacle, could you google or phone the doc in the morning and check?

There's a lovely story in 'chat' of a lady who got her bfp after 7 years of trying, I love happy endings Grin

MrsE, how are you today? Hope you're still taking it easy.

Mumwannabe82 · 13/10/2014 20:21

I'm in xx

rubyrubes13 · 13/10/2014 20:13

I am here still in limbo

Treaclepie19 · 13/10/2014 20:11

broody I love ff for tracking my temp. I use mydays for just general tracking.

Try not to worry katy, i know it's frustrating :(

Need some advice ladies! I'm a teacher and there's a case of hand foot and mouth atm. I know if you're pregnant you shouldn't be around it but what about in my 2ww?

broodylicious · 13/10/2014 20:04

I started using ff this month btw. It's quite interesting to see everything laid out, isn't it? I don't temp, and probably won't ever be able to either as dd is a shit sleeper so I'm up way too many times in the night, but even without that data, it is great to get everything written down and look at the chart. What I do find effing annoying - partic as I don't think I'll be getting a bfp this time around - is that going on my symptoms, moods etc, it does that % of early pg signs thing. I'm currently rated at 35% on 10dpo. of course, I should just not visit that bit of the app and then I wouldn't have to complain

broodylicious · 13/10/2014 19:50

Really pleased your scan brought you good news lucie, must be a good weight off your mind now to have a plan of action.

treacle, that's exactly how I feel about this month - we dtd more this month than possibly we did on our three week honeymoon!! GrinWink

lucieloos · 13/10/2014 19:38

Katie sorry you are feeling down. I know you want to try and DTD as much as possible over your peak period. There is little evidence that dtd every day is any more effective than every other day and the day conception is most likely according to my acupuncturist is 2 days before ovulation. I know this probably doesn't help that much but just trying to say don't stress too much about dtd every day Thanks
