This cold has really got me and I don't think I've O'd yet. How annoying. Temps are all completely out of wack.

MistyBxx · 30/01/2017 20:58

Hey unicorn, you sound similar to me! No af signs yet but not due til at least thurs. Don't open the kit though just in case!! You're not actually on yet!

MotherofUnicorns · 30/01/2017 20:55

Feeling grotty today. Cd21 and getting cramps and feeling nauseous today. Very AF like. Currently sitting with hot bean bag on my lap! Af due this weekend I think Cd 24-26. At least I'll get another go at Feb bus with you lot. ....
Also splashed out on one of the £70 odd quid clear blue thingies for next month so I can at least monitor myself as closely as possible. Grrrrr.

On day 12 of my cycle (I normally ov on day 14) and have to go away for a training session tomorrow and won't be back until 11pm on Wed - arrrggghh why do I always have important stuff the other side of the country when I am about to ov! Will have to DTD with DH tonight, tomorrow am and then try to again on Weds night after a five hour drive!

MistyBxx · 30/01/2017 20:11

Oh Mrsbarnett that sounds so hopeful! Do you "feel" pg? I've heard from loads of 2nd time (or more!) mums that sometimes they just know. As I'm ttc #1 I have no idea lol I took an early cheap stick test last night and was gutted at a bfn 😩 trying to stay hopeful as af isn't due til Thursday/Saturday/Sunday (mixed predictions from different apps lol) so I'm holding on to the tail end of this month's hopes (boobies very sore but they were last month a whole week before af) but I am peeing a little more often. No funny smells, tastes, pains or any sign of implantation. Just gonna hold out til sat morning now 😑

mrsbarnettsbaby · 30/01/2017 20:05

The only hpt I have in the house are ic which I know are crap. However still tempted to use one in the morning. Pg symptoms not going away and no sign of AF. I even look pg! (Will be no. 4 if I am) Hate being in limbo. Training for London marathon. Could really do with knowing but scared of seeing another bfn!

Babycarmen · 30/01/2017 18:38

Swore I wouldn't symptom spot this month but...
9dpo usual sore boobs but yesterday I had shooting pains In them like I was being electrocuted. Hmm also ravenous but slightly nauseous too. Although the nausea has lasted all day for 2 days now so probably a bug Grin

EMHW123 · 30/01/2017 17:25

Blue I'm a bit torn though as if we aren't preg I'd rather be closer to friends in London. Worse problems to have surely. Eeeek will keep my fx for you for Friday!

BluePheasant · 30/01/2017 17:16

EMHW buy in the country if that's what you would do if preg. Otherwise won't you end up moving twice?

Good link coffee. Test day on friday for me. Not sure if I will test then or wait a couple days longer as my cycles aren't v regular usually. Body is still giving absolutely nothing away!

ttcnovice · 30/01/2017 17:04

5DPO over here and had mild cramping yesterday. Too early for it to be implantation related so I'm thinking it's a bad sign and maybe AF is going to appear early? Sad Not due until the 6th at the earliest so it would be really early but not sure what else it could be!

EMHW123 · 30/01/2017 16:29

Hey all!

Just coming into my FW now after an 8 day period! Annoying as I came off the pill back in sept so not sure if it's my body still settling down! Anyone else had this?!

Big chats with my OH around buying where we are (London) if not preg come June or buying in the country if I am.... difficult to live your life as normal when the big decisions hinge on bump or no bump! 😆

Good luck to those in the 2ww! 😘

MissyJones80s · 30/01/2017 15:47

Hi all

I'm now officially on Feb bus...24/25 Feb

Emberblu · 30/01/2017 14:16

Hehe thanks Lovechild2016 I think if I didn't have these cramps telling me AF is imminent I would have rushed out today and bought a whole bag of tests! I figure if I don't have them in the house I can't waste them Grin it's so hard when you're technically 'late' but know it's just stopping the pill that has messed it up! Thanks for the hopes though Flowers
Aaah Coffee3 that link has told me to test (based on my previous cycles) which has made it so much harder to hold off! Good link though for when I'm settled into something more regular 🙈

MistyBxx · 30/01/2017 14:00

Coffee that calculator is fab, thank you! I put in all my various dates, all the different days I could have ovulated this month according to all my various opk lol and every time it says yesterday is too early to test and ideal day will be sat 4th!
So I've reclaimed a glimmer of hope but not much coz I've had no imp bleeding or any other symptoms (except very sore boobies which I found out last cycle is becoming a regular thing a week before af is due!) and I didn't even need a wee in the middle of the night last night like I have done for the last 3 days! So still unlikely but hey ho, at least I'm on the right bus lol xx

Chox15 · 30/01/2017 13:53

Thanks coffee for the link! I'm new to mumsnet and 8 dpo today! Struggling with all the abbreviations xx
Really hoping this month is our month. Do u think the fact I've had a heavy cold for days will have affected our chances? Used clear blue digital tests and dtd up to, during and after my peak fertile day or static smiley face! On countdown to the 6th Feb when I am due. Every month I get excited and symptom check but it turns out to be pms 🙄🙈

Hippychic79 · 30/01/2017 13:27

thank you for sharing the link Coffee - hope you don't mind but I've also shared it on another thread, love it.

Glitter - I'm with you - 1 dpo here too

Lovechild2016 · 30/01/2017 13:17

charley feeling exactly them same, can it really only be 3 days!? Feels like forever. Hi carlotta woohoo for positive OPK and great work ok bd-ing frequency. I dtd cd20, 22 then 24 think I O on 23. Hoping it was enough. I was away on cd 21 and 23, very inconvenient. emberblu you are being incredibly sensible, I think I must have spent about £££ on tests in my first month ttc naively thinking it would happen straight away. Hoping it has done for you! X

Carlotta82248 · 30/01/2017 12:31

Positive opk today, day 12, so far dtd day 6, 8, 10 and 12! Going for it this month haha! Plan once more today, tomorrow and Wednesday and once more for luck on Friday 😂

Glitterbubble · 30/01/2017 12:00

Yay I'm not alone!! We can be strong and do this together ladies Grin

mrsbarnettsbaby · 30/01/2017 11:30

Cd 48 here. But will prob test in 2 weeks. Good luck everyone.

Redpony1 · 30/01/2017 11:14

4dpo here (i think?!)

Charley2016 · 30/01/2017 11:13

I'm 3dpo over here. Feeling the waits too long already haha!

Glitterbubble · 30/01/2017 10:50

Officially in the 2ww hereEnvy. 1 dpo ..who's with me? Grin

Emberblu · 30/01/2017 10:34

Hi Lovechild2016
No I have been holding off testing since I figured my cycle isn't normal yet but it's been very hard! Grin especially since I've been feeling sick for several weeks (plus my many other made up symptoms Wink). If no AF by Wednesday I will definitely test but need distractions til then! Fx for you too!
