WHAT DO WE WANT??...BFPs WHEN DO WE WANT THEM??...NOW!!!! symptom spotters and 2wwaiters brand spanking new thread [grin]

LOL MOB love miblet !
Yes I think it may be a Maderia baby ! or maybe a wee haggis as I think the vital BD was when we got back, but being off work was the clincher as we would never have had time for that particular BD if we'd been at work - so my tip is book annual leave for the crucial week

And we can say you are having a Miblet

WOW Mibbes wonderful, fantastic, news!!!!!! It was that holiday, do you think? All that relaxing! Am so excited for you!!!!!!!

BFP !!!!
am in shock ! I am shaking like a leaf

Morning all

Sorry not to have been around for a few days, i have only just recovered from the EI treatment machine !!

Mibbes have you tested again?? Have got everything crossed for you. Can't wait to hear. I admire you leaving it a couple of days and not testing until today.

Bucky good to see you back. Hope you had a lovely time. Did you get the curtains made ?! Do tell us all about it.

EI how exciting to see your chart with the big red ov line on it! Hope the next couple of weeks go quick for you.

TB2 sorry to hear that AF arrived, but i guess at least you know where you are now. I hope this cycle is more of a "normal" one for you.

beaniesteve well it sounds as though AF is finally on her way. Good luck with the monitor. Is it complicated?

JB & SH hope you two are ok in the boring part of your cycles. fear not, it will soon be BDing time once more!!

PicknMix Nice to see you. How difficult for you (and of course for DH) having him away over the crucial time (and because of the arrival of a baby) Hopefully there are enough swimmers hanging around in there!

Shakeysgirl have you tested again?

hattyyellow are you ok? Haven't seen you around in a while.

GG Did you manage to celebrate your anniversary? Hope DH wasn't working the whole time.

Well, things seem to have finally happened here. Finally got smiley face on Sunday, and BD sunday and monday mornings (thank goodness for the long weekend ) I think i may have ov'd yesterday, as i still had some EWCM. Things seem to be errm, "drying up" this morning though. I guess i am now on the 2ww!

confused. No more bleeding - infact what I had was gone with one wipe.

Still no sign of af had a tiny bit of light red blood yesterday when trying to check cm so thought i might be about to come on but nope! Still having sex every day to be on the safe side (and cause i enjoy it of course lol) felt a bit sick this evening but i think thats because i had fish and chips for lunch and im not sure the fish was in the best of conditions but ds also had it and he is fine people have told me I've put some weight on lately, but im greedy

Arg! When I type my posts they have paragraphs and everything, but for some reason "it" takes the spaces out and turns them into miserable block text which is awful to read. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix it...

Good luck for tomorrow, Mibbes. Are you past your normal luteal phase length?Yes JB - we are cycle buddies. It's boring old CD6 for me too. Yawn, but at least I don't need to temp seriously yet! When is your book arriving? I want to know if it says anything useful. Mine doesn't say anything I hadn't already read, but is quite comforting in that I am pretty sure I am ovulating and that we usually BD at the right time. The only thing is I think we might be stopping a bit too soon each cycle.Beanie sorry to hear you think your period is coming, but you're right - it's better knowing what is what than having uncertainty.Sorry you're out for this month Picknmix but at least you got some practice in! I know what you mean about those flipping SIL's and their babies. I suspect that mine is pregnant again (she has a 6 months old) and if I am right I am not pleased at all. Being lapped is no fun, but you're clearly much more gracious to your SIL than I am!!Ei I hope you managed to get in lots of sex at the right time (what an odd thing to say to a virtual stranger!!). Good luck for this cycle.

Hiya Picknmix,

just saw your other post. Yes looks like Period on its way but that's ok, at least I know where I am.

Crossed posts Mibbes!!

Am just off to the waiting room to update my stats (have been bad and not posted in there for a while so my cd is completely out!)

Hello all,

Very quiet on here today!

Hope you all had a fab Easter?

Nice to see you back Bucky hope you had a lovely time? Did Finn dog miss you?

Tinkerbell pleased to see you are back on track (never nice to get your af but at least you know where you are now!)

MIBBES have you retested yet????????????????? Have got very many parts of my body crossed for you right now!!

Shakey and Beanie - any sign of af yet (or better still, a BFP!?)

Lovely to see FF is working for you Ei - always exciting to get those lines on your chart (had to get my DH to come and have a look the first time it happened on mine!!!)

How are you doing Scary ( to hear about af) and MOB (yay for EWCM!!! )?

GG am on your behalf at the persponed (sp?) Dr's appt. Am willing the 1st to come round quickly for you.

My DH left this a.m for a week to visit his sister and her new baby (they live in Canada). I am staying at home (for various reasons) but kinda glad I wont have to perform the required cooing over newborn whilst gritting my teeth! Of course I'm fantastically happy for them but still.....

Managed to bd a few times before he left but think he will be away for the 'optimum' time. Ah well.

Hope everyone else is ok - apologies to anyone I've missed (anyone seen Hatty recently?)
*

ooh it is quiet in here today. JB I have HPT at the ready for the morning. Not confident enough to do CBD, am really nervous now, dreading seeing a BFN as I'll be so gutted. How am I suppsoed to sleep tonight ?

Have been looking for some of the ladies from the bottom of the waiting room list, anyone seen glasto, hatty, PicknMix or GryffinGirl ? and Bucky hun where are you hiding ?

Morning all,

mibbes I'm beside myself with excitement here! Have you retested? It sounds like a positive to me! Your spotting might have been implantation and not your usual spotting. Fingers crossed for you!!

MOET Hope you finally hatched an egg over the weekend and if not, you comforted yourself with lots of choccie ones.

GG How . I don't see why you have to wait for these results anyway! It is so very frustrating. Hope you had a good weekend and your DH took some time off.

bucky Great to see you back! How was the holiday? Did your mum enjoy it?

hatty How did the Drs appointment go?

tinker Sorry to hear your're back at CD1

beanie How frustrating for you. Maybe you ov late?

ei oooooh it is exciting when those lines appear! Fingers very crossed for you.

Boring old CD 6 for me! Are we cycle buddies SH? You are lucky your book has arrived, I'm still waiting for mine!

Hello to everyone I've missed!

morning ladies

hi ladies just a quick one before i go off to bed
mibbes im so excited for youi sooo hope it is your turn and i think it was a BFP so stay away from those rollercoasters(i havent had any other dreams since the one of you so maybe they were waitin til you got your bfp i have to see if i get one in the next day or 2 as then it is a definite BFP for you)
sorry your cycle is messin you about beanie i hope you get an answer soon
hi to everyone else
FF gave me my Ov lines so im 4DPO officially my first real 2ww as i have never known my DPO before FF says i should test at 18DPO on 8th april but i think around the 3rd will do for me as i think AF would be due then hopefully il get a good result this cycle
xx ei xx

beanie the CBFM will really help you understand what is going on. I think it was our lovely mumstheword who got BFP on first cycle using a CBFM . The cycle before I started temping I had a random 44 day cycle and was convinced was PG but kept getting BFN so I understand how frustrating this is for you. Since I have started charting temps there has never been any question about when ov'd or when AF due as temps help sooo much. Hopefully you won't need the CBFM anyway as you'll get BFP in a few days

Well as I am not yet out this month I'll post some topical symptoms: have been having slightly achey (.)(.) and feel a bit sicky when hungry but feel better as soon as I'v eaten. Also get raging hunger before meals. Have been trying to encourage other symptoms to no avail (sucking on tinfoil, drinking gallons of water and eating cabbage)

Am waiting for a Clearblue fertility monitor to arrive from ebay

And have been charting from teh day my period was supposed to arrive so I am going to keep that up and see what happens.

Sorry for being so miserable about it all.

Oh yeah, stuffing my face Mibbes. That does sound like a positive test to me, but you know if it could be or not - trust your instincts! I have had one false positive aside from my Clearblue episode and I knew it wasn't real (it vanished after about 10 mins). When I got the real thing, although I had a sense of disbelief I still knew it might be for real. And that one was incredibly feint too.Poor beanie - it's a bit of a nightmare, isn't it? Have you read about how you can spot your fertile time from cervical mucus and position - and to confirm it retrospectively by temping? It is possible to miss your LH surge using OPKs, so using another method might help you figure out what is going on.

beanie, this ttc business is a nighmare, I honestly think that is TEW does not appear in the next 3-4 days you could be in with a good chance... hugs xx

Yeah - a faint line around day 18.

Just did a tesco test, BFN. I think I have to accept that I am not pregnant and something has effected my usually spot on cycle.

Now I have to just wait it out until my next period I guess

I'm not even going to bother testing unless I start feeling sick ...

beanie you said before you had a faint +ve opk, remind me which day that was ? Did you say cd17-18 ? If so then you may not have ov'd until CD19 which means you are only just at approx 10dpo which is the very earliest you can get BFP. Go get some cheapies for the next few days and keep us posted.
Scary my line was normal thickness and very faint... haven't told DP as don't want to raise hopes/worry him in case it turns out to be CP. No more spotting today so far... knicker-checking like mad Hope you are having a good weekend and eating lots of eggs

MIBBLES I have no idea if I Ovulated this month as none of the tests came up with a positive for me.

My last period was on 25th Feb (first day) and lasted about 10 days.

Am now 5 days late (Cycle is extremely regular and 24 days long)

morning ladies good luck mibbes

Oh, I see you are 13 dpo. Look, as you know, spotting is not unheard of in early pregnancy. So I think you should do another test tomorrow. Lots of luck.
