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

I'm on Feb bus too -
Just popping back to check on you lovelies xxx

kimblesj · 19/01/2017 07:49

I'm out, Af got me at 11dpo. Off to the Feb bus!

Good luck everyone still in, hoping for lots of bfp for you all x

Addtothechaos · 19/01/2017 07:28

Morning everyone!

Sorry to hear about some of you spotting and imminent af. Fx this will be the final af for a while and it's a lucky month ahead!

10 DPO for me and still got the sore boobs but cramping has gone completely. Just done a test and came back bfn Sad I know it's still fairly early for testing but I did get Bfps at 10 DPO with my two other children so I'm guessing I'm out this month and will be joining those on the Feb bus! Will hang around her until af arrives though and look out for more Bfps! Good luck ladies!!

This is by far my weirdest cycle yet!! Any advice / experience would be gratefully received!! I'm currently on cd25, usually have 28 day cycles. However this month I didn't get positive opks until the weekend just gone. Had 3 in a row but oh was apparently so ill he couldn't possibly dtd so I gave up and stopped testing I expected my cycle would be longer due to this but I've had mild cramps since Sunday which has become usual for me the week before af!! Can anyone make any sense of this??!! Xx

kimblesj · 18/01/2017 17:45

Dpo10 for me and spotting the last 2 days. I wish I thought implantation but I have spotted a few days before af arrives with each cycle the last few months. Sore boobs and feeling sick but again all af looming signs too! I'm due on Sunday if lp is 14 days but who knows whether it is or not! Tested today and bfn. I'm pretty sure I'm out! So wanted to start the year positively after the crap year last year! Meh!

SayenRose · 18/01/2017 17:11

Back from work now.

Thanks Passmethewine I know it's silly to be upset when I'm not out yet - I think because it's cycle 8 that I'm starting to feel a bit tired of all the BFNs

This would be #3 for me, as I have 2 DC with my ex partner - but these were conceived within 1-2 months so had always thought we would conceive quickly for this one.

My husband is getting sperm analysis done next month just to check, if his is all clear then I'm going to get checked out to see if something has changed with my fertility.

Flowers88 · 18/01/2017 17:02

I believe I'm in 2ww now too..... waaaaah!

ChaoticKate · 18/01/2017 15:00

Hello! Still just about clinging on. AF was due yesterday and still hasn't turned up. Normally I have a very average, on time body but I'm thinking I maybe late because I had a bout of flu at Christmas. Negative FRER this morning so I'm blatantly just late but clearly symptom spotting like mad. All in my head I'm sure but I have sore boobs, cramps, weird pelvic pain, backache, nausea, bloating and a constantly gurgling tummy. It would feel a bit like pre AF (but more backache, sore boobs, gurgling and nausea than normal) but it's been going on for what feels like ages (probably actually about 3 days). I feel like it's about to start, then it subsides and nothing happens, then I feel like it's about to start again. Then repeat ad infinitum. It's not a bad thing if it's a couple of days late, as I was going to be away during FW next month, but I hate the constant 'I'm not....maybe I could be....don't be stupid it's impossible.....you never know' internal monologue. Aargh!!!

Roseandbee · 18/01/2017 14:51

Annoying I ordered a FRER on amazon & it prob arrive after AF. I am stating to feel like AF is imminent as I start to get all clingy & nice with my husband. Maybe this is why I'm still baby free if I'm only ever nice to my husband before my period Hmm

2ducks2ducklings · 18/01/2017 14:18

I'm still hereHmm
In the dreaded 2ww but I'm not hopeful this month. I don't know why exactly, I just don't feel it. God, and there are newly pregnant women literally everywhere I turn at the moment. Envy

Addtothechaos · 18/01/2017 14:10

Hi everyone

Hope all are well?

Just to point out that emz is right and the asda first response offer isn't for the '6 days earlier' test! The pack I bought just says 'results within 45 seconds' or something of that nature! Just checked the box now!

I'm on 9dpo but not feeling hopeful Sad X

passmethewine123 · 18/01/2017 13:31

Yeah LP is supposed to remain pretty consistent month to month. You may well be pregnant but not giving off enough HCG for IC to pick up on? Either try again in a few days or use a more sensitive test like FRER. Fingers tightly crossed for you!!

Tinkerbell2319 · 18/01/2017 13:16

Quick question: am I right in saying that luteal phase doesn't vary month to month?

If it doesn't then I'm mega confused as my BBT hasn't dropped yet and due AF today but no sign so far no cramps or anything either

Had an IC BFN this am so guessing not PG :/

Motherhippy16 · 18/01/2017 09:58

Good morning all. I have also been having constant cramps over the whole 2ww. Started having really oily skin, outbreaks and heartburn even though I haven't eaten anything yet today. Very strange. Am going to resist poas till sat at the earliest so am going to be in my little bubble of hope or dismay till then. Love and good luck to all x

Emz01 · 18/01/2017 09:30

Just to let you know Ladies the FR tests are on offer for £6 at asda but I accidentally picked up a rapid response one instead of the early detection. The fast response ones are no where near as sensitive and I only got the faintest of lines. Just double check which one you pick up!

Roseandbee · 18/01/2017 09:22

Passmethewine123 - if your anything like me (and judging by your username you might be) good luck with that :P if it's not a sign of a bfp I'm going to my doctors on 31st so will hopefully update if she says anything.
I'm 13dpo and still bfn but almost positive on my OPK test but it is a bit lighter than my control line

January bus continued...? Anybody still clinging on...!?!
passmethewine123 · 18/01/2017 09:19

Sayen stay positive, we have both fallen in to the trap of testing too early but there is time yet Smile

SayenRose · 18/01/2017 09:15

Got ahead of myself and tested at 8 dpo this morning. BFN of course. Still cried a little Sad
Off to work now!

passmethewine123 · 18/01/2017 08:59

Rose that's exactly how I've been feeling, never felt like this before a period before!

I stupidly did a test this morning, it was very wishful thinking at 9dpo and it was of course BFN. Hoping now that I've got the urge to POAS out of my system I'll be able to resist until Saturday Hmm

Roseandbee · 18/01/2017 08:25

Usernamegone - I've been feeling like AF is about to come since just after ovulationHmm I don't know if it's a new thing for me to just be crampy for at least half the month Sad I get what I think are ovulation cramps too

Roseandbee · 18/01/2017 08:22

Congrats Emz & pirate!

Emz that's so interesting that your opk actually picked it up first.

Oh and hi Kirsty, I'm giving you a hi five for being the same age as me

Thanks for the tip **addtothechaos I'm contemplating going to Asda for the first response tests, my husband already think I'm crazy for buying too many pg tests

Usernamegone · 18/01/2017 07:51

Was going to POAS this morning again but woke up feeling crampy again. Still no AF. Am trying to hold off POAS due to variable cycle length until Sat.

sarahboro1 · 17/01/2017 23:24

Fx that she stays away for you username!! Xx
