SYMPTOMS, SYMPTOMS, READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! 2wwaiters chat and cuppas at the ready[grin]

Not me going away Fairy . I wish!

I don't have any more tests thank goodness, the BFNs just make me sadder and sadder. I'm sure AF will turn up tomorrow .

In fact I am getting a bit hysterical with all my overanalysing this month .

I booked my doctors appointment for Thursday, as this will be officially Cycle 10, although its actually Cycle 11 and I didn't use any contraception after miscarriage in September 2006!!! Just wasn't actively ttc till about April 2007.

ooh, ooh dream about me mrsei dream about me!!

Brill news swaliswan I am sure it will be a sticker. Remind me though, sorry, you have a LO already? How old are they again. I am so nosey!
Bucky, weren't you going to leave testing until Thursday cos you were going away? Or am I getting you mixed up with someone else? So many names, so many details, poor fairy's head cannot cope

Bucky you are right LP is supposed to be the same give or take a day. I am almost sure I ov'd at 12 hours after my last +ve opk this month assuming the bleed meant was ov'ing. Also had 2 day surge (+ve Thu am and pm and Fri am then bleed Fri pm) Are you testing tomorrow or holding on ?

Congratulations Swaliswan and welcome if I didn't say it before.

JB BFNs suck!!

Bucky waves to everyone else and commences her self consumed post....

Well she has not shown up yet...although I feel a bit like she is on her way now. This whole thing has me confused though...DG help meeeeee.....

Last month (much like several months before)
CD14 - negative OPK
CD15 - OPK
CD16 - negative OPK assumed ov.
CD28/CD1 AF turned up (11 day LP)

This month
CD14 - negative OPK
CD15 - (pm) OPK
CD16 - (am & pm) OPK
CD17 - negative OPK assumed ov add 11 days means that AF should have been today I guess. I actually thought the egg would have hatched during the super long surge hence why I was expecting AF on Sunday?

Anyway, if no AF today....what is going on? I thought the LP didn't change. Can the egg hatch that 2 days after a 2 day surge?

swaliswan congrats ! and don't feel guilty, we love a BFP on here
ScaryHairy spotting sounds promising !
coolkat am glad I'm not the only mad symptom spotter Do I win a prize for "most delusional spotter" for imagining things on 3dpo ?!!

Congratulations Swaliswan. That's lovely news.

Congratulations Swaliswan don't feel guilty, any BFP keeps us going!! Although I am a teeny bit !! Christ you must be mega fertile or DH has super swimmers!!! I will keep everything crossed for you. X

Mibbles I am like you analysing everything then don't know whether what I am feeling is right or I am going mad! Today I ache all around my middle and my bits feel hollow I am sure its from two much walking and pushing DD on her bike today and I bet AF is starting her journey, her ETA is Friday

Bucky sorry for your BFN although it is not over yet, I feel some people take longer to get their BFP because the hormone is not detected as strongly in some women than others IYSWIM.

Doghouse, Welcome, we could see you lurking you know!! Your symptoms sound promising lets hope you do not have to stay here to long!!

Jollybear - High temps keeping everything crossed X

Hi to anyone I have missed (not very good at following this as its so busy!) Hope your ok.Sorry for the ramble.
Coolkat

Erm, well after saying that I was absolutely not going to test under any circumstances...I did a test this morning. I got a BFP!

I actually feel really bad about coming onto the ttc boards and getting pg so quickly. I know that it causes a lot of heartache when AF turns up and you get BFN after BFN.

Please don't kick me off the board yet though! I don't really feel pg iyswim just shocked and very nervous that I'll have another mc.

Welcome Doghouse - sounds like implantation to me, whether at 9dpo or 12. Actually in some ways 9 dpo seems more likely to me whereas 12 dpo could be pre-period spotting.

I am 6dpo and have had some cramps and spotting today (and have a 13/14 day luteal phase). I know 6dpo is early for implantation but with my daughter I got a BFP at 9dpo so I reckon maybe I am an early implanter! Am trying not to get too hopeful, really and truly. Oh who am I kidding...

JB and Bucky - sorry about BFNs but am still keeping everything crossed for you.

Righto, must go take control of fractious one year old. See you all later!

Hi MrsEi
I need a slap as at 3dpo am already analysing every twinge , thought I had distant AF cramps earlier very briefly. Having said that I had similar last cycle when was symtpom spotting but it turned out to be pre-OV ! Oh dear, must do some thing to distract myself otherwise it is going to be a looong fortnight ahead !

doghouse I agree with mibbes, spotting at 9dpo is very promising esp as you had it with your last pregnancy.

Thanks mibbes I hopefully I should know one way or the other by Thursday! I've been reading some of the archives, and sometimes on long cycles you can get to 18 days of high temps but not have ov at all . I do hope that isn't the case!

And to think I used to love having long cycles as it meant less AFs... silly jollybear.

doghouse you can have imp bleed from 8dpo so it is still very possible. Look forward to hearing test results

Thanks for your warm welcome! Will try and get up to speed with everyone's situation!

I don't know why I said 12DPO - it's actually 9DPO as Ov day was 2nd Feb! Don't know if this makes any difference to likelihood of it being an implantation bleed. Certainly don't normally have spotting before AF's arrival.

Don't know when to test as 14DPO will be 16 Feb (Sat) but was actually expecting AF on Sunday. Have a CB test at the ready tho!

Welcome doghouse ! At 12 dpo it could well be a implantation bleed Lots of MNers report brown spotting pre-AF but if this is not usual for you then I'd be very hopeful ! When do you plan to test ? This could be the shortest visit to the thread ever !
Bucky so sorry you got BFN but I concur with JB, it is not over yet missus I have read posts on MN of women with PG symptoms, high temps way past 18dpo and no BFN for weeks ! So both Bucky and JB there is still plenty of hope.
JollyBear, I will be waiting with baited breath for news... surely if not PG then AF will have shown by Thu in which case you shouldn't have to endure another BFN - preferably she won't arrive and you'll get a BFP !!! Ha, yes well how could FF possibly know more about my body than me !

Hello bucky I was just looking at some charts on FF and there were quite a lot of ladies with BFNs on CD 13,14,15 who went on to get a BFP. It isn't over till AF arrives remember! Fingers crossed

oops Freudian slip... I meant 'maybe there was not egg' not 'baby there was not egg...

Welcome doghouse we will throw babydust your way and keep our fingers crossed. It sounds like you did everything right.

Well, there was no steely resolve in the Bucky household afterall. I tested this morning with FMU should be approx 13dpo ( thought I had an 11 day LP ) and BFN. . No AF though, so I am thinking that baby there was no egg this cycle??

Welome to the 2ww doghouse! High temps and spotting sounds very hopeful to me

Thanks HCB mibbes I won't abandon hope just yet. I haven't got good willpower at all, just as I'm going to be away I don't want a depressing BFN with no one to moan to about it.

Well done for beating FF at her own game!!

sorry, make that conceived!

Ooooooooo, how exciting doghouse. You never know, it could be implantation as you are 12dpo. I conceived DD1 on my second cycle off of the pill but the first one ttc as DH was on pre-op training for op telic during cycle one. I got pg straight away then he missed the entire pg and birth because of op telic

Apparently it is very typical for babies to be conseived just before or just after a tour of duty so you never know....

Hi there
Have been lurking for a while - can I join you lovely ladies? I am 38, TTC#2, have DD 10mo. My cycle (although only my second since having DD) is about 40 days.

I am currently 12DPO having BD'd frantically for the day of and two days after a on an OPK so am ridiculously hopeful even though this is my first cycle of TTC as DH has just come back from Afghanistan!

Am expecting AF around 14-17th (14th if going 14 days after Ov; 17th if going by expected cycle length if that makes sense?!) but yesterday and today had some spotting - brown/pink and bit of red in CM - still hasn't come to much.

On top of all that, my temp remains high. .... it couldn't be implantation could it? I had that with DD.....

What do YOU think?!
