Hi everyone,

Hope you don't mind me staring a new thread as the last is full to the brim now!

Just to recap myself:

Age 31
Ttc no.3
6dpo
1st cycle! (Agh!)

Anyone else?

Anyway I'm still clinging onto the bus but feeling extremely negative about this cycle as I've had what has almost! been the flu Sad
Couldn't get my sorry head off the pillow yesterday and feel like I've been 8 rounds with Tyson aiming right for the lungs!

Going to test on Thursday 19th as had my last two Bfps at 10 DP0

And just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the old thread that kindly gave me advise and a much needed pick me up with regards to being so --pathetically - Ill lol I took all advise on board and today I feel like it's finally letting up a little (woo!)

Hope are well and good news is coming for us all!! X

How many dpo are you MrsG30?

MissMagpie · 20/01/2017 14:30

Thanks Sarah.

I am feeling similar to you MrsG - not really signs of anything!

I am 9dpo now because I ovulated a good few days earlier than usual. It means I am expected to have a 28 day cycle instead of the 32 or 33 day which is my average.

I really wish I could remember what symptoms or not I had with DS - I didn't test until cd 40 then cos my cycles were more irregular.

MrsG30 · 20/01/2017 13:11

I'm due same time as you Kirstie Flowers and Mini. TBH I'm not at all hopeful this month - can't even symptom spot as I've had absolutely nothing!

RoseValleyRambles · 20/01/2017 07:54

Bah. Sorry tinker.

Anyone testing today?

I'm currently in a quandary: according to my usual cycle length, AF should arrive in 4 days. but because for once I spotted my ovulation pains month, my clue app has decided this cycle will be an extra 3 days long. is she right? is she wrong? how am I supposed to know when to POAS now?!!!

Motherhippy16 · 20/01/2017 07:33

Sorry for all the afs...addtothechaos Im not testing till Sunday I think but don't feel hopeful as don't really feel any different to all the other month. My boobs have grown so big I broke a strap on a bra yesterday! Not a good start to a day! All af symptoms and as I've come off the pill for 3 months now guessing I've got a lot more hormones flowing through. Much love and fx x

Addtothechaos · 20/01/2017 07:12

Morning all!

tinkerbell sorry to hear af has got you Sad I'm not far behind you as I'm due af around Monday/Tuesday. Dont know why I've done it to myself but tested again this am and got bfn (sob!) on 11dpo. Still early but I did get faint positives at 9/10dpo with my other two babies so I really do feel like I'm out this month!

Back to full health now after that awful Virus which I'm sure can't have helped right after ovulation and into tww!

Also, I'm feeling maybe next month I will purposely not buy any tests and wait to miss a period as I hate seeing the Bfns and its only month 1 of ttc lol I need to chill the hell down a bit! Grin

Will head over to Feb bus but will keep looking through the window here for more Bfps! Good luck everyone still in!! Xx

15dpo and a BFN

Counting myself out at this point

Kirsty8333 · 19/01/2017 21:58

I've not got any symptoms at the moment but I only got a positive opk on 17th so am only 1 or 2 dpo. It's nice to have people testing at the same time so we can compare symptoms

Usernamegone · 19/01/2017 21:23

I'm out as AF arrived today Sad

Fingers x'd for everyone still on the bus x

powerpuffer · 19/01/2017 21:08

AF is due for me on 28th/29th so I will be testing around the same time as you guys, Kirsty and Flowers.

3DPO for me right now and no symptoms except bloating but that is most definitely due to a rather large Nandos an hour ago!

Bows85 · 19/01/2017 19:12

Hi everyone 👋🏼 Been sitting patiently at the back of the bus hoping that AF doesn't make an appearance.

7dpo today and desperately trying not to symptom spot but my god it's hard! TBH, after a 9/10 day lp last cycle I've been convinced AF is going to appear since about 3dpo! Every twinge or feeling has made me go to the toilet just to make sure, I'm driving myself mad and getting very little work done!
Have had the odd crampy feeling but no idea if this means AF or not.

Had a bout of EWCM today which is a bit weird. But google has told me that this could mean any number of things!

Away for the weekend so hopefully I can get my mind off everything (doubtful, as I'm away with newly pregnant SIL so I'll be reminded of it constantly 🙄!)

Flowers88 · 19/01/2017 18:49

Oh mini I can definitely make you feel less crazy...... I decided the cat was being super clingey so googled "can cats detect early pregnancy symptoms"......I mean really?!?!?!?!?!? Haaaaa oh I do wind myself up something rotten!!!!!!

minime2016 · 19/01/2017 18:44

Aw it's so hard not to look for signs! And I know what you mean about bfns. Sadly I've come to expect them now-have poas so often and had so many negatives I'm almost resigned to getting one each month. It'll make eventually (and hopefully) getting a bfp all the more exciting!

LucyLugosi · 19/01/2017 18:30

Mini, I'm the same! AF due on the 28th, so just over a week until I'll test...sore boobs, change in cm, and I've had some light bleeding. Trying not to drive myself insane symptom spotting, mostly failing.
Terrified of BFN

minime2016 · 19/01/2017 18:12

Best of luck Bertie x

minime2016 · 19/01/2017 18:12

Kirstie and flowers I'm due af on 29th too, so about 5 dpo. Having a few 'symptoms' Hmm pinchy boobs and some changes in cm. trying not to read too much into it, but it's similar to this time last month and it ended in a chemical. I also felt a bit queasy on the drive home from work (may have been to do with eating the Christmas chocs Confused) keep symptom spotting ladies-makes me feel less crazy when I know others are too Smile

sarahboro1 · 19/01/2017 18:04

Fx Bertie!! XX

sarahboro1 · 19/01/2017 18:04

Oh missmagpie so sorry for your loss. 💐 I don't think a few drinks will hurt surely? I know plenty of people who have fallen pregnant without knowing so have continued on with their normal lives and everything has been ok? Xx

BertieBotts · 19/01/2017 18:00

I poking my head back in because AF is still hiding and not really coming properly so I think I'm going to POAS again tomorrow. I'd be surprised because I don't feel pregnant at all and my temps have dropped but it's weird.

Tinkerbell2319 · 19/01/2017 17:53

14dpo and no AF, no cramps no nothing but negative IC HPTs

Only notable symptoms is bbs feel bigger (they did before AF last month too though) and might be coincidental but I can NOT stop peeing 😂😂😂

Time to break out the non cheapie HPT? 🤔

Flowers88 · 19/01/2017 17:25

Wow kirsty!!! I'm so wanting to get a bfp but there's no way I'd have the energy for dtd twice a day - good on you haha!
We dtd as much as we could as we both been super sick with colds and flu.
Exciting to know someone else is at same point as me!
Are you getting any symptoms? Imaginary or otherwise! My left o is cramping/pinching lots ......ahhhhhhhh!!

Kirsty8333 · 19/01/2017 17:10

Hi flowers88 I'm also due af on the 29th so looks like we will be testing at the same time. I've just ordered some first response in preparation. We've tried our best this month even doing the dtd twice on some days. Fx we are both lucky this month.

Flowers88 · 19/01/2017 15:33

Oh my lord the symptom spotting is driving me mad?!?!?
I swear my bbs are on fire, and I have the weirdest pulling sensation in left o area. I'm literally 4dpo so can't be preg symptoms but I'm already going crazy!!!
Any one else got AF due around 29th? Xx

Kirsty8333 · 19/01/2017 11:56

Sorry to those who af has got. I'm now in the tww due to test at the end of Jan

MissMagpie · 19/01/2017 11:11

Hi everyone. I'm still on the bus at 8dpo. I don't think I have any symptoms of anything yet though have had two big bloating episodes this week which I used to get but haven't had for years.

It could be an emotional reaction though as my grandmother died on Monday and work has been stupidly busy for me and my DH so juggling a 2yo and fitting in life has been difficult. I am worn out.

I also have a hen weekend this weekend which is a bit of a dilemma. I can't not drink as we are def going to do cocktail making but I am going to have to do some fake drinking as I don't want to drink too much in case I am pregnant.
