Hi Mouse I was CD 25 when I got a bfp and my usual cycle length is 29days.

Hope this helps

Jools - getting very excited for you ! My boobs look more veiny and a little bigger but seem to go up and down through the day !
Kaylo - remind me what day of your cycle you got a bfp with CBD ?

OP posts:
Kaylo · 08/09/2009 18:47

CB are expensive but so worth it at times. My bfp not showing up on cheapies yet cos AF wasn't due til Thurs, CB just v.sensitive so picked it up sooner, I have no patience

Jools sounding good for a BFP this month.

Got my fingers crossed for all of you

Joolsiam · 08/09/2009 17:49

hellooooooo

CD22 here - I had period type pains yesterday and again this evening, have raging thrush (has been a definite system for my last two BFP's), am starving hungry despite having eaten my usual amount and am very very hormonal - not usual for mid cycle. Oh, and my boobs grew during yesterday and are now nicely filling my C cup (which they weren't before !) Usually, they grow a bit post ov but I've never known them start to grow at 8DPO

Sooo, getting quietly excited but will sit on my hands till at least Sunday. Am working away on a very very mad project that is going to require 16 hour days this week - enough to keep my mind off it

CBD's are so bloomin expensive aren't they. This month have decided not to get one unless there is a feint line on a cheapie.
Trying to remember when I got a BFP with the other DC- think day 26 or 27.

hi all

haven't been on for a while, trying to stay away a little bit as went a bit doo-lallie last cycle.

CD28 is friday but last cycle i didn't get my period untill day 39 so not sure where I'll be this month.

No symptoms at the mo but then didn't get any with dd. only had that little bleed on day19.

I don't tell my dh anything, he thinks i'm mad enough as it is. I told him yesterday that my period is due in the next week and the only response I got was "oh great". He's in denial I think.

Anyway good luck ladies, hopefully some good news should start coming along soon

CurlyCasper · 08/09/2009 13:17

not quite decided. Think I'll start with some cheapies on Friday and save my CBD!

hi curly, yes all these symptoms could be due to other things couldn't they. In my case probably stress of the impending house move ! When are you next testing again ?

OP posts:
CurlyCasper · 08/09/2009 09:05

snap mole I peed on day 25 and regretted it! It was DH's idea though - wasted CBD.
Got the headaches (plus congestion). Bad wind etc - but nothing new there! Problem is, for me many of the symptoms are normal, because of other conditions. A few sharp pains through my bits last night though. Could be impending period, or wind, but I'm hoping for something more!

Waiting till weekend now

POAS today ( day 24) and got a BFN. Its probably too early but I had to pee on something ! Symptoms- afternoon headaches, really bad wind and indigestion, boobs a bit bigger and seem to be a bit more veiny on right boob, feeling peaky.
How's everyone else doing ?

hi kaylo, my dh thinks the same thing and I have to confess to feeling a bit cycle when on 2 cycles I told him I was definitely pregnant as my nauseau was soooooo bad !! Felt a bit silly when the bfn's came ! . Spirael, AF is due for me on sunday as well - it's going to be a long week isn't it !

OP posts:
Spirael · 07/09/2009 09:12

Hi all. I'll be testing next weekend, most likely. AF is due on Sunday, but was a couple of days early last month and I had spotting leading up to it, so I'm hoping I'll know pretty early if it's another BFN for this month.

Still not much in the way of symptoms, so I'm preparing myself for that BFN. Only thing I could tentatively point at is a bit of cramping earlier, which might have just been hunger. I think my chest has been a bit tender since the start of the weekend, too... But it's likely it could all be in my head. Or that it's just a regular symptom for this point in my cycle and I never paid attention before!

Good luck to everyone else testing! And bleh, Mondays aren't happy... Means it's another five days of work until the weekend!!

Kaylo · 07/09/2009 08:54

mousemole My DH told me all my symptoms were in my head caused by wishful thinking - oh he paid for that comment y'day after the bfp!!

Are you all ready for the house move on Thursday? It is a pretty big thing and very stressful so theres a good chance you may find yourself thinking boxes and vans rather than 2ww and testing.

Hi Curly Happy Monday to you too!! I don't think you're mad at all - I'm googling everything too!!

I am 25 + 10 Curly, I am day 23 and will test on wed morning. Got a stash of cheapie tests so we will see but not feeling hopeful ! Move house on thursday and I am wondering if something as big as that can take my mind off the 2ww. BTW, do any of you share this madness with your dh/dp's ? First cycle we obsesively symptom spotted together, then he got bored so now I don't tell him anything ! Infact I have already told him I am not pregnant this month.

OP posts:
CurlyCasper · 07/09/2009 07:12

Right then, who's testing this week?

CD 25 for me and I have thickening white CM (TMI?), a stuffy/bloody (not bleeding though) nose and intermittant headaches.

Googling like mad. In fact, I am just mad. Last cycle was 29 days, before that 34, before that I was on the pill. Planning to test end of this week. Had a load of ebay cheapies and two CBDs. Just got to wait now....

Happy Monday all!

Joolsiam · 06/09/2009 21:02

Not old in the slightest Loulajou

I'll be 40 in November, TTC#1 and know I can do it, having been pg 3 times since July last year.

40 is the new 30

vanloadtovenice · 06/09/2009 20:20

Congratulations on those BFP's - splendid news. Fingers crossed for this month. Will keep you posted x

Loujalou · 06/09/2009 19:38

Just turned 21 + 10 so am feeling a bit old too.

Fingers crossed mousemole.

hey loujalou, sorry you are feeling down. I bet I will be joining you next month as well. Cycle 5 for me next month and my other 2 were conceived on cycle 1 .
Must just be because I am OLD now !!

OP posts:
Loujalou · 06/09/2009 18:31

Sorry feeling so down forgot to say congrats to all the BFPs on this thread!

Loujalou · 06/09/2009 18:30

My new cycle starts today early as well. Looks like I will be going through this all again next month.

Last time conceived month 3 now on month 5...

wow - been away for a few days and come back to all these BFP's ! Congratulations to all you - what wonderful news. These must be very lucky threads ! I dont test till wed/thurs earliest but bet its a BFN !

OP posts:
Joolsiam · 06/09/2009 18:17

Have just seen Lissielou's news on another thread - that makes 4

Stick with us - mega lucky thread

CurlyCasper · 06/09/2009 17:51

I go away for the weekend and there are three BFPs! Congrats kaylo Gucci and pigley

Perhaps if everyone goes away next weekend I'll get a good result?!

Planning to test Fri... or maybe weds

Joolsiam · 06/09/2009 16:20

No, a show for me is a teeny spot of red blood one day, slightly more brown blood when wiping the day after and AF normally starts red after that - I take the first day of red flow.

I don't think it matters to be honest, as long as you are consistent, but counting from the first day of full flow means I ovulate on CD14 - sounds about right to me I used to worry about it meaning I had a short luteal phase, but I've conceived at least 3 times, so don't think so ...
