Ispy - you'd bloody think wouldn't you Confused

It is definitely a man who designed AF! Wth is the point of cramps before things even start? Cramps started at 4:30pm and then a couple of very light spotting whilst cramps continue. So annoying how slow it is to start properly!

Congrats Dro, I knew it! Although also ?? you'll be one of those lovely ladies with a baby and a bump while I'm wondering how?!?
Sorry Pear ?? surely your turn soon. ??

So, I've signed up to be a Clearblue tester for their product development projects. I was waiting to find out about AF before signing the contract. I'll send it in the post tomorrow. I'm not keen on the idea of storing wee in my fridge on a daily basis but I'm also not keen on paying for any more sticks! I don't know what they will send me but it will be free and I'll get a free pregnancy test too. I'm now also thinking about weaning DS from tomorrow morning or at least this weekend. I'll certainly be drinking a few glasses of wine this weekend to help ease the disappointment. Although I'd much rather have a BFP Sad

Dro, I've tried cutting down. I'm down to 1 feed. I would actually have to stop completely. My mum was right. I'm never going to get pregnant whilst bf. I wish I had stopped last month now Confused

Droflove · 01/04/2015 17:17

Aw Pear. Was really hoping for your bfp. For me cutting back the feeds was the key to ov and steady cycles. Hugs and wine for you.

RosieRue52 · 01/04/2015 17:12

Pear Wine Cake Flowers you deserve everyone my dear

RosieRue52 · 01/04/2015 17:10

Yay, congratulations Dro Smile woohoo!

I'm out. AF has arrived. Gutted...again. Next cycle will be 6mths of serious TTC. Now feels like a year. To make things worse I don't have any AF products or wine. Tempted to put DS in the buggy and go for a walk to drown my sorrows. However wine won't solve my problem Hmm Looks I'm officially stopping bf then!

OP posts:
Droflove · 01/04/2015 16:57

Well, I did the test, clear blue digital. And how cruel are those tests! The bugger took ages to come up and then said just 'pregnant' for ages so it could have gone either way saying 'not' or the '1-2'. Finally it said '1-2'. Holy balony!! Now I'm totally mortified to tell anyone ever as our little ones are only 26 mts and 6 mts. My mum is going to kill me!

AvaAmulet · 01/04/2015 16:33

Lol, Dro! Grin

I'm feeling like every single 'symptom' is magnified during this 2WW - I'm going totally crazy!

I too have been googling symptoms, and baby names when I should be doing more important things... like sleeping on a work night Blush DD has been repeating 'Baby sister' for several weeks now, over and over. She sometimes adds the name 'Kate' to the end (no idea where that's come from?!) So I thought I'd better start looking up girl names that complement DD's name.... I have definitely lost the plot (and lots of sleep) this month.... Confused

Roll on Friday!!! Blush

ispyfispi · 01/04/2015 16:33

Good luck Dro! I shall be checking back frequently. Sounds like a BFP on the way Wink and good luck getting any work done!

Droflove · 01/04/2015 15:41

That above post sounds ridiculous, like I'm a lady of leisure! I have a nanny cos I work full time and its cheaper than childminder! I'm supposed to be working now rather than checking baby name sites and posting on here. Gotta get back to it for another hour and a half.

Droflove · 01/04/2015 15:39

Ok, so I went out and got a stick to pee on. Haven't done it yet, the house is chaos and the two smallies are about to be put in the bath by their nanny which doesn't make for a calm environment to pee and deal with disappointment or shock. So I'll do it when things calm down and I have a few moments to myself.

Side note, I feel quite ill on and off. Feels familiar this muzzy rough feeling. If this isn't a BFP I will never symptom speculate again. You can hold me to that.

AvaAmulet · 01/04/2015 15:25

That should read 'AF kind of returned'...

Pleased for you, One! Great that you'd rather a bigger age gap - I wanted the shorter the better but it has taken a while for my cycles to return properly. Good luck Grin x

AvaAmulet · 01/04/2015 15:20

Aurora, I had six months of crazy cycles, not even knowing if I was actually ovulating (even though AF kind returned), and short luteal phases when I thought I might have been... Flowers

DRO, POAS!!! Grin

I would soooo be testing incessantly by now if I were you! But I am a self-confessed poas addict Hmm

RosieRue52 · 01/04/2015 15:16

Drof POAS!!!
One congrats on AF (lol)
Aurora Flowers I hope you cheer up soon

Thanks for the info ladies!!

I had 2 days of positive & the line was slightly lighter today soo I'm assuming I'm 1dpo....we dtd monday night & this am, not a lot I know but I stopped the opks & only started again when I noticed ewcm. We shall see!

Mumof1sofar · 01/04/2015 14:32

Glad you've got af back one (don't say that v often!)

Aurora sorry to hear you are feeling down Thanks

Onecurrantbun · 01/04/2015 13:11

Rosie when I fell pregnant with DD2 I notice the opks got gradually darker for a few days and then I had one almost positive, followed by the next day a 'true positive' i.e. the test line visibly darker than the control line.

AF has arrived!!!! Never been so happy to see her after 15m breastfeeding. I think we may trynntnlfor a few months as a baby would be a blessing anytime but in an ideal world we would rather the gap be a weenie bit bigger!
