Has time stood still?!?! I am still 5 days away from AF being late!!!

No symptoms to speak of either. Felt really nauseous earlier but think it was stress related due to my boss emailing me 20+ times in what is supposed to be my day off. That ain't going to help my fertility is it?!

eckythumpenallthat · 18/11/2016 07:51

Cycle day 33
BFN
What is my body trying to do to me????!!!! I've never had a cycle this long before. I have a rough idea when I ovulated (as it has me bent double in agony) and I'm all outta tests now

Lulu298 · 18/11/2016 07:37

Morning ladies. Congratulations on your BFP sands and Katie!

Good luck and fx to everyone still on the bus and Flowersto everyone who's got AF.

CD 30 here. Longest cycle for a while, that's if it's a cycle. After my super long AF and no positive OPK, am now paranoid the menopause has arrived! BFN yesterday so will leave it till next Wed before testing again if no sign of AF as really doubt am up-duffed. Am actually really hoping to see AF as early menopause would be very sad.

Flappergirl86 · 17/11/2016 16:47

I'm quite lucky. I work with Autistic people who for the most part don't think farting is rude or gross so I can trumpet at will without any raised eyebrows. If there's staff around they assume it was a service user so it's win win really.

bluesdetoi · 17/11/2016 15:14

Flapper - the farting. Oh man. I hope thats not a symptom I get. I work in an office closely with other people, and leaving my desk that often to fart would be the worst lol, I dont want my colleagues to speculate about my digestive health.

bluesdetoi · 17/11/2016 15:11

Congratulations Katie!

LOL Baguette, about to leave work and seriously considering getting some tests. I just need to satisfy the test monster! Grin But nope, I will be strong, it's almost weekend.

MissMagpie · 17/11/2016 13:58

It's agony, waiting to know for sure isn't it Calm?
I am not going to test until the day my AF is due. That's if it hasn't arrived by then, what with my irregular cycles et al.
I keep getting crampy moments so not sure if it's PMS or implantation at about 9/10 dpo.
Oh the anticipation....
Really fancied a glass of wine or two this weekend too!

Calmisthemantra · 17/11/2016 11:10

Tried a first response at 10dpo (although Ovia thinks I'm 7dpo) and negative. I think. Lots of squinting and re- looking at it. There isn't a line but maybe I think if I don't look at it directly then I do Hmm Hate this. Had really bad cramps on tues/ wed but agghhhhhh Confused

eckythumpenallthat · 17/11/2016 08:13

Cycle day 32
No AF but feeling mega crampy like its on its way :(

DrRBannerx · 17/11/2016 07:59

Congratulations sand x

WantingBaby1 · 17/11/2016 07:40

Congratulations Katie and all those with BFPs!

Fingers crossed for Sunday blue and for you too Magpie

CD 18 for me today and I finally got a positive on the ovulation stick yesterday. My first! Really boosted my spirits :) DTD last night and will try to over the next 2 days too. Attempting to stick to the SMEP as much as poss now that I know I'm ovulating. Is anyone else doing this plan? Or around CD 18? My last cycle was 28 days so I'm not
Hoping to test in about 10 days time.

purplebella · 17/11/2016 06:47

Congratulations katie!

Katie0907 · 16/11/2016 22:33

purplebella · 16/11/2016 21:21

Ah one difference flapper! I am deffo NOT constipated if u get my drift! Sense of smell,yes but not all the time. YES!! Very scatty! F**ked up loads at work today, good job I don't do anything important lol

Flappergirl86 · 16/11/2016 20:29

Now constipated* that was meant to say. I'm also really scatty at the minute!

Flappergirl86 · 16/11/2016 20:28

purple are you now and have a sense of smell that'd put Hannibal Lecter to shame??? If so that's just spooky ;)

purplebella · 16/11/2016 20:10

Oh and congratulations dani and sands!

purplebella · 16/11/2016 20:09

flapper we are exactly the same, you and me! I keep getting little spots in weird places (one on each boob and one on the back of my neck!) I really hope I see you all on the July (or Aug) babies thread and sending you lots of baby dust

JeNeBaguetteRien · 16/11/2016 19:35

blues I have visions of you giving all the tests to your DH and then running to Boots to take adavantage of Buy one, get one free on First Response tests. This is not based on real life events

Flappergirl86 · 16/11/2016 17:29

blues My symptoms were farting and burping quite a lot and getting very oily skin but realistically there wasnt much else. I also had a little bit of pink brown CM with specks of blood in it a day before my BFP which I'm guessing was implantion bleeding.

sandsandwiches · 16/11/2016 11:17

Thanks all.. have my fingers crossed. Had cramping 10 days po which was implantation but still going on feels like af Confused and line is fainter today (dh made me do it!) Going to hold off now and wait till Fri to test again and hope for best I think or I'll drive myself crazy..

Good luck mimi for fertile week! & ecky blues magpie waiting to test/symptom spotting with me Blush

bluesdetoi · 16/11/2016 09:48

MissMagPie isnt it the worst? The wait is excruciating!

I caved this morning and POAS cause I'm a child with no self constraint. It was negative of course. I'm having my husband hide the rest of my tests until Sunday!

JB1983 · 16/11/2016 09:02

Hi
Firstly congrats to the November BFPs 👍🏼 and sorry to those the witch got 👎🏼
I didn't think I would be rejoining the bus so quickly. DH and I are supposed to be having a 6 month break from TTC, however just had a bit of a drunken oopsie moment on holiday. I haven't been tracking ovulation for the last couple of months due to TTC break but it looks like said oopsie moment would have been pretty good timing based on previous months.
Obviously if it happens we will be both be delighted, the timing won't be the best but I suppose there's never the perfect time! And so the wait begins . . .

MissMagpie · 16/11/2016 08:34

blues I am in a similar position. I am roughly 8 dpo and feel like I am getting my period. Very crampy and bloated.

All I remember from when I got pregnant last time was that I was sure AF was arriving, bought a load of tampons and towels in a rage and then didn't use them for about 2 years!
