Ov'd Tuesday 25th. I used a ebay cheapie and then a Clearblue OV digi stick just to make sure - so - it's offical, I'm on the 2ww. We BD cd11 cd13 cd15 cd16 cd17.

I'm feeling strangley optimistic this month, even though we've been trying for 5 years

Hi Becky- just wanted to let you know that am thinking of you today

BeckyBendyLegs · 09/12/2008 08:22

No AF yet for me but I can feel it coming. You know that feeling: bloated, going to the loo a lot, crampy, cranky, tearful. But those are also the early symptoms of pregnancy! Nature is cruel... Today is a strange day for me but I have to get through it. It's just a normal day really.

FF sorry to hear your AF came...I always go bonkers when my AF comes and drink wine, pepsi max, eat junk and just 'celebrate' the fact I can do these things!

Good luck Alibobaster and Sno with your symptoms!

MintChocAddict you never know...

I think at least one of us on this tread has to be pg!!! I need some good news!!!

MintChocAddict · 08/12/2008 22:12

Sorry Ali. Just saw your last post. It's a difficult call this test/not test lark. Good luck whatever you decide.

I'm on day 29ish. The last few months have seen my cycles even out around 35 days, so unfortunately tomorrow too early to test for me. I've just got a hunch that AF will be with me within the week.
Here's hoping I'm wrong.

MintChocAddict · 08/12/2008 22:07

Hi BBL . Welcome and lots of luck for good news soon.

Sorry AF got you this month FF. You've just described my every Saturday night (minus the booze this week, just in case )

Sno - feeling sick - could be a sign. Keep positive

Alibob - that sounds very promising. Grab that straw!! and keep us posted.

back to xserial. Keeping fingers crossed to you. Hope AF keeps away

I've started to get a bit spotty today which is usually a sign of impending AF for me. I was also very grumpy at work today, but don't think I can link that to PMT

Alibobster · 08/12/2008 22:02

Don't know when to FF. I'm trying not to get too excited as this has happened to me twice before - one was a CP and one was an early miscarriage. I have one hpt in the house, might try tomorrow

FertilityFiend · 08/12/2008 21:53

Alibobster - ooh that sounds exciting (well you know what I mean ) - when are you going to test?

It was a 26 day-er Xserial - I usually vary between 25 - 29 days. Another 9 day luteal phase though which is annoying, the B6 is not doing its job!

Is tomorrow test day for everyone? Fingers crossed for you all...

Alibobster · 08/12/2008 21:40

BeckyBendyLegs, so sorry to hear about your mc's - hope AF is keeping well away.

FertilityFiend, really sorry to hear about AF.

Hi to snowflake & Mint, fingers crossed for your ladies .

Xserial, Its sounding promising for you .I so hope it's good news.

Well on Saturday I had a big pinkyy/red blob which I thought was my AF starting (3 days early)and then had light bleeding for 2 days, but this has now stopped. My normal AF is usually quite heavy and lasts for 5 days, with bad back pain. any chance this could be an implantation bleed? Now you must excuse me while I go and find my big straw to clutch at xx

Sn0wflake · 08/12/2008 20:45

Wow that really is regular! I'm about 27 days.

Well I'm feeling a bit sicky tonight...could it be?! But I still feel like AF on the way....I really don't think so.

BeckyBendyLegs · 08/12/2008 18:34

My cycle is so regular I can usually tell you want time it will arrive. It used to be 4pm Friday but now it is lunchtime Thursday. How sad is that?

Sn0wflake · 08/12/2008 13:37

Good luck xserial. My fingers are crossed for you!

AF not here yet for me but I think it's going to turn up on time. At least I have a regular cycle!

xserialshopper · 08/12/2008 10:41

BeckyBendyLegs FF that was early! How long was this cycle then? Sorry that she showed up

snow sorry that you've got the af cramp feelings as well

Hi mint (((waves)))

[fgri n]

Ano ther day going by and af hasn't turned up

OP posts:
FertilityFiend · 08/12/2008 10:22

Well I'm out - AF turned up on Saturday evening. At least it was a good excuse to get drunk and stuff my face with takeaway while watching X Factor!

Hi BBL - sorry to hear about your MC , hope you get some good news soon.

Good luck to everyone else - keep us posted!!! xxx

BeckyBendyLegs · 08/12/2008 08:30

Hello! Can I join in? I'm due on 11th Dec but feel the cramps already so think AF is coming today or tomorrow .

My birthday is this month too! 25 December - lucky me!

I've got two DSs and trying for number three. Have had two MCs though... Been TTCing this time around since June. The 'due date' for the baby that was my last MC is actually tomorrow so was really, really hoping this month would be it but I don't think so. But its not over yet until fat lady sings and all that. We must have hope.

MintChocAddict · 07/12/2008 23:52

Hi All,
Nothing to report here. Got another week(ish) before AF is due (long cycles). Got a feeling I might have missed the vital time this month, so not getting my hopes up despite my endless symptom spotting.
Just wanted to pop into say hi to all you ladies in waiting. Hope AF stays away and fingers and toes crossed for all.

Sn0wflake · 07/12/2008 18:37

Hmmm, I have to say I've got that feeling that AF is on the way. Just slight crampy feelings in area.

I also had the odd compulsion to test with a cheepie test this morning.....read the instructions and then put them back in the drawer and went back to origonal plan to only test if I was late.

Was in bed late this morning as well....but may be beer and curry I had last night. Went for a long run today to make up for it.

Good luck!

xserialshopper · 07/12/2008 15:27

Had af cramping this morning

Still, fingers crossed that it was really a pregnacy cramping sign

OP posts:
xserialshopper · 06/12/2008 15:00

FF it's way toooooooo early to test (gives wrist a little tap) But, saying that, on Friday morning I was laying in bed, and I had these naughty thoughts, such as 'I could do a test this morning,' 'I might as well use one of the cb preggi test since I've got 5' plus 'I could use my last ebay cheapie preggi test since it's the last one.'

Well, I resisted all those naughty thoughts and the strongest feelings of temptation I've ever had (I actually picked up the unopened cb box with 3 preggi sticks) and I DID NOT TEST snow I had that sign. I didn't get up until 10am this morning

OP posts:
FertilityFiend · 06/12/2008 10:39

ooh NO symptoms is definitely a sign xserial

And so is tiredness Snowflake - make sure to put your feet up for the rest of the day too, just in case!

Well today The Zit Has Returned... AF has not shown her face yet but she's hiding round the corner I'm sure. Temp v slightly higher than yesterday, but chart looks absolutely comparable with those of recent months. Oh and BFN of course - but then it's ridiculously far early to test...

Sn0wflake · 06/12/2008 09:47

Not long to go now.....is staying in bed too long on a Saturday morning a sign?!

xserialshopper · 05/12/2008 14:59

The thing is everyone is that I've got no symptons either way today

FF its a bugger about your temp dropping still, it's not over until the fat lady (not me) sings

Ali that's a long wait for results!! Can't you get them any sooner?

Pinky/brown discharge/cm so this is a sign? You truly are beating us on the 'signs' front

(waves to mint and snow)

OP posts:
FertilityFiend · 05/12/2008 14:24

How's everyone today? Any more symptoms?!!!

I think I'm almost certainly out for this month, having quite a lot of AF cramping this afternoon, and temp was down this morning.

Hope everyone else is having better luck!

FertilityFiend · 04/12/2008 16:15

Hi All

Snowflake - I'd second the ebay cheapy opk's, I have to use about 2 or 3 a day around ov time in order to get a 'positive' as it seems to be over so quickly. Also I think the results depend on things like how concentrated your wee is at any given time. I find that I still get an increase in the 'strength' of the line around ov time (even if it's not a proper positive) - means you can test more often till you (hopefully) get the positive.

I got mine from here - ordered 75 opks and 25 pg tests in my batch, but then I'm a pee-on-a-stick addict
ebay sticks

Alibobster - good that your appt went well, though that seems a long wait for results, how annoying for you.

Mintchoc - good that the static's gone (I guess!) - the blocked nose sounds good though

Xserial - how's the nausea? I get this too sometimes in the mornings during the 2WW - is soooooo annoying that progesterone 'symptoms' are the same as pg symptoms, grrr

Talking of which, I had period pains this morning, which is usually a sign that AF will start within 2/3 days (sigh). But of course, there's always Day 8 implantation pains to come up with as a theory as well... Temp went up today, but only to exactly the same as it was this time last month. AF is due Monday, but if I have a 9 day luteal phase again this month, it will be Saturday. Oh well, hopefully AF will stay away at least Sat as that is when the sticks come out...

Alibobster · 04/12/2008 15:03

Hi xserialshopper, appt went fine thanks. Had an internal scan(lovely!) and took lots of bloods to test different things. Dr said that because I was getting pg but just not maintaining the pregnancy, that may be where the problem lies rather than an infertility issue. I won't get blood results for 8-10 weeks but at least I've got the ball rolling so I feel a bit better, and everyone that I dealt with yesterday ie doctor, midwife were all really nice and positive which was encouraging. I did get a bit excited last night cause I had a bit of pinky/brown discharge/cm, which I've only ever had when pg with ds although dh thinks it's probably just a bit of bleeding after internal. How are you today? hope your boobs get sore soon

xserialshopper · 03/12/2008 14:31

FF zits are definatley a sign I could do without

I know what you meant mint - I've been waiting for my boobs to get sore Come on boobs

Alibobster how did your apt go? Sorry to hear about your mc and cp. Are you taking any supplements to sort your cyle out?

snow my birthday is this month as well!!

Sign! I actually felt a bit nauceous (sp?) today - this has just got to definatley be a sign (((thought I tiny weeny suspect it's more to do with my imagination))

Oh well only 5, 6 and 11 days to good for the big reveal

OP posts:
MintChocAddict · 03/12/2008 00:28

Hi All,

Symptom update today - no longer static but now have the most horrendous blocked nose. Came out of nowhere!!
Now thinking that static attack may have been as a result of all the cheapo clothes that I was trying on . I was positively crackling.

Now madly searching for zits and feeling at boobs - so to speak

Good luck for the next few days to all you ladies.
