Good luck Fruitloop

fruitloop79 · 04/02/2008 07:54

Oh god, I'm leaving in 40 mins and I'm not even showered yet

I can't help thinking how devastated I'm going to be when I come out of the hospital I've really got my hopes up for a little beany [stupid emoticon]. If that OPK was right, then I'm only 7DPO! I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up but it's impossible with all this symptom spotting .

Oh well, watch this space ladies, hopefully I'll have some sort of info to bring back to you all whether it's a bubba or not.

Good luck to any testers today

MTW COGRATULATIONS!!! wow!

twinklingfairy · 03/02/2008 23:16

I know how you feel mrsei I feel the same. I have run out of opk's and did not get my +ve CD17 is norm when I ov and I do have a tender tum, but not the normal level of pain I had been getting before ov
When I was running my bath tonight, I had a funny sensation go through my (.)(.)s, like the milk coming in, so I gave it a go I got some creamy stuff, much darker than the milk DD used to get, colostrum, maybe?
I have also had zero EWCM which is unusual for me.
So I am convincing myself that, by some freaky luck, that I did ov on CD8 and that DH and I managed (even though he didn't ahem,.. peak?) You are warned of these things as teenagers though aren't you??
But it is just cos I want to pee on something so a hpt is as good as anything isn't it?? Even better if you foolishly convince yourself that is is possible
No, fairy! You, also, need to step away from the hpt's!!

OOh, musn't forget! Good luck for tommorrow FL and well done MTW please, please, please let it be a sticky one!

mibbes · 03/02/2008 23:00

FL all the best with scan, look forward to hearing how you get on
never we can be honorary cycle buddies >>
clouise good luck with testing - I have everything crossed for you
MrsEi step away from the HPT until at least 10dpo !!!

MrsEi25 · 03/02/2008 21:23

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 20:06

fruitloop Bet you can't wait till tomorrow. Be lovely if there was a little fruitloop bean hiding away! Best of luck. X

07mumstheword · 03/02/2008 20:03

Thanks everyone for your congrats. I still can't believe it.

Kate I mean't the lines on the test stick of my Persona monitor. I was throwing it in the bin when I noticed two similar looking lines where as a couple of days ago there was only one line. The light was still green (meaning I could have sex if I didn't want to conceive).

Fruitloop ONE more sleep All the very best for your scan tomorrow, let us know how you get on.

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 19:58

Spink when did you get your implatation bleed?

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 19:55

Thanks Noam I think I might do a test tomorrow.

Spink It was very red and streaky and only there when I this morning and then a teeny tiny weeny amount of brown. Maybe it's related to annovulatory cycle last month or weird cycle but could well be an implantation bleed...still no sore boobs or anything though but i'm pretty convinced that I didn't have that with DD1.

Hope everyone is ok this evening!

Spink · 03/02/2008 19:14

MTW - yaaaaaaay! Huge congratulations! here's to very sticky beans

clouisewood, I had an implant bleed, and it was much redder and heavier than I thought an implant bleed would be, so sounds a bit like yours? Not just bits of spotting but a kind of streak (sorry ) which then went, followed by a teeny bit of brown over the next day. Crossing my fingers for you x

Hi Ladies,

Just wondering if anyone else is getting syptoms on clomid, i have been so narky today, i feel so sorry for DH and have to keep apologiseing for snappyness! even my little doggie has stayed outside all day, he must sense my mood!!! also very achy as well

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 17:13

Mibbles Thanks for advice. Tempted to test tomorrow; i've got so much work to do because i'm teaching full time for the next 5 weeks and I know that if I get BFN then i'll keep wondering and if I get BFP then I won't be able to focus anyway lol!! It's a no win situation haha. AF will prob return forcefully tomorrow when I can't leave the classroom.
Thanks again. X

fruitloop79 · 03/02/2008 16:54

Hi girls

Well done MTW congratulations!

OP posts:
mibbes · 03/02/2008 16:37

clouisewood well MTW is further proof that no symtpoms are PG symptoms so the fact that you have none could be a sign !
An implantation bleed can be about 8-12 days post ov, so would often happen just before AF due - which is true in your case. It may be too early to test but a CB or First Response test would be your best bet as these can detect PG 4 days prior to AF due date (best to use FMU). Maybe wait until tomorrow and see if still no blood then test ..?

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 16:30

I don't know when I OV because I haven't been temping.
I don't normally get spotting...would I have bled a bit more by now? Also the blood was q red so not sure if that would be an implantation bleed. Wonder if it's too early to test...I felt relieved that I wouldn't have to keeping 'wondering' this month and now i'm worse than ever. Don't feel anything though, boobs not sore, no period pain etc.

mibbes · 03/02/2008 16:23

clouisewood for some reason I didn't read your last post , anyway it could be an implantation bleed, do you know how many days post ov you are ? It may also just be pre-AF spotting, do you usually have this ? Hope it is the former !
grinningbee lovely to 'see' you, sorry AF got you .

mibbes · 03/02/2008 16:17

Kate I am well up for coming to bash some NHS ears on Tue - just let me know when I'm required . I'll be thinking of you CB. xx
Emmsy it is great to hear you in such good spirits after last weeks low. I was planning to start the opks tomorrow but after your post I saved up wee and did one this afternoon, it was -ve but at least I know. Am really hoping get some early OV action as couldn't bear another long cycle. Having said that now that I am temping at least I feel more like I know what is happening - if I had been temping last month I wouldn't have got my hopes up like that as I'd have known it was a mega late ov.
MTW I posted for you on 2ww but another HUGE CONGRATS
never you are not sad waiting for CM to become more fertile - I actually look forward to going to the loo to check on CM progress and temping has made me really good at getting up on time as am always itching to see today's temp
clouisewood sorry TEW got you, but like you say at least she didn't tease you by staying away.
ElveId where are you CB ? Any signs of OV for you yet ? We are heading into the fun part !

clouisewood · 03/02/2008 15:20

MTW Took me sooo long to post this morning that I missed your message Congratulations Sooooo happy 4u.

Girls I need a bit of help. I updated the list this morning...TMI: Woke up and had a wee, wiped and a fair bit of red blood. Put a tampon in (8am) and about 12 went to the loo and changed tampon and there was a tiny bit of brown...had another wee, wiped and nothing??? I'm on day 28 and usual cycle is 28-35 days...what is going on? I'm a bit worried...

grinningbee · 03/02/2008 14:18

Hi all,

Sorry I've not been around lately. I had to stop logging in for a while and becoming obsessed! I promise to catch up properly in the next couple of days. However, for the time being it's back to the top again for me...

Hello all, thank you so much for your messages of support. Nothing to report here, just slowly going mad waiting... mibbes thank you so much for your post the other day, I might print it out to take with me to the hospital to read while I'm waiting to be seen to get me in the right frame of mind! Don't suppose you'd all like to come with me if I bring an extra large handbag to carry you all in? I'll make sure there's some cake in there too!

But, more importantly...
CONGRATULATIONS 07MTW!!! Fantastic news! Keeping everything crossed for a sticky one for you! Can I ask what you meant about the lines on the persona monitor? Did you mean on the test stick itself? I don't think I ever looked at mine. Or does your monitor show lines? Mine just has lights... [confused...]

Emmsy so fantastic to hear you on such top form after you've been having such a tough time lately, your magic sweeties are obviously doing you good,don't suppose you fancy chucking a few my way do you?

Hello to everyone else

Emmsy1 · 03/02/2008 12:03

NOAM I wasn't expecting signs of 'O' until around day 15, last month didn't 'O' until day 37! so gobsmacked by EW on CD6 and +OPK on day CD8, don'e miss your chance, so a bit of B/D if your getting loads of cm XXX
