I'm feeling positive about this next cycle. Due rtd tomorrow.

If it's as long as the one I'm just finishing I'll be due sometime in early May so thought I'd do the honours and polish down the bus, stack it full of champagne and nibbles and start the engine!

Who's with me?

Hi all, still no sign of OV from me, maybe I'm on for another annovolutary cycle this month... Sad

Hello to all the newbies and sorry to hear about your cp ljg. I've never had one but I can imagine the pain and sadness. I don't think many people who are not ttc would think it was a big deal, but we all know how much you can get your hopes up and have them dashed even without a twl appearing and then disappearing again. I get my hopes up ridiculously every month, and did right from Cycle 1, and find it hard to explain to anyone my disappointment every month when AF arrives, so tend to try not to show it.

I am going to a festival next weekend and was kind of hoping to either be pg or have af by then, not to be in the middle of the 2ww. It will be difficult not to indulge in any booze there without all my mates thinking I'm secretly pregnant and hiding it, but looks like I'll just have to be the rent-a-babysitter sober person if I do ovulate in the next week.

fatheadsgirl · 20/08/2010 13:59

Lola FC for you!! What wonderful restraint you have! I would have still been pulling up my knickers whilst legging it to Sainsburys to buy a digital test Grin

LittleMilla Hi! Try not to get so stressed, we have wine and cake....I think. There's still wine and cake right?????

Today is going to be emotional I think....

tinkyboots · 20/08/2010 14:04

Hi, Can I join you all please?
First posting today Blush

I hope I get this right.

I usually ovulate around CD16-18 so its all systems go again tonight.

Then its 10 days of obsessive symptom spotting.

As I only get chance to post during working hours I'm sorry I can't read back on the whole thread, but just wanted to say hello and good luck

So am I! Still no AF here, but did another test this morning and got a clear positive. Will wait until Monday to graduate if everything's still on track as by then I'll be late even on the basis of my longest, 34 day cycle. Very excited/scared! Grin

Prinpo · 21/08/2010 16:11

AF turned up as an unwelcome but expected guest at Casa Prinpo (a bit like MIL Grin) so I'm moving from the front to the back of the bus . Nice to still be here Smile.

Thanks zinnia - and a tentative congratulations to wombat!

Well, I did another IC test this morning and the BFP line was much clearer. I think I'll wait until I do the clear blue digital one tomorrow before admitting that I am really pregnant. I'll be 1 day late tomorrow too.

crazydayz · 21/08/2010 17:25

Congrats Wombat and lola. I'm once again beginning the 2WW in earnest and resolving to do less symptom spotting this month! Wink Meanwhile everyone I know now seems to be announcing their pregnancies following 12 week scans!

8rubberduckies · 21/08/2010 21:47

Phew! had a full-on day today for my ds's 2nd birthday party, and have a stash of leftover cupcakes if anyone would like one? We have a choice of blue ones with mini-marshmallows or red ones with mini-animals on, please help me out everyone as otherwise I'm going to put on about a stone just tonight!

Looking forward to seeing the grads list growing very soon wombat and lola, it sounds very positive (scuse the pun) for both of you!

I am getting very disheaterned now at the lack of ovulation here. We I are struggling to keep up the swi impetus now after a couple of weeks of it and I just want to put my feet up and get stuck into the 2ww, or start a new cycle.

Hope you're all having a great Saturday xxx

kiwidreamer · 21/08/2010 23:21

Mmmmm Nom Nom I'll have a ... red... no blue... no RED cupcake puleeze 8rubberduckies, hope the birthday party was a great success and you all enjoyed yourselves immensely. My DS was two at the end of July. lots of fun... well the party was these last few weeks have been crazy, he's really stepped up a notch with the 'terrible two's' (I hate that saying but it does sum up the last few days, he found a tub of vaseline at the back of the bathroom drawer, then pulled my jewellery box off the dresser and annihilate a clinque lipstick and today skipped his nap and half emptied a tube of Weleda nappy cream over himself and his bed!!!!!!!!)

As for keeping up the SWI for weeks you and your DH deserve a medal!!! That is a lot of obligational nookie (YKWIM), so I sure hope one of those little swimmers is up for the job!!!!

Sending lots n lots of graduation dust to lola and wombat

lateatwork · 22/08/2010 06:47

morning all! 8rubberduckies please save me a red mini animal cake. may just have it for breakfast... yum!

might start my excercise regime this cycle. nah. maybe not..

i have moved myself down to the back of the bus and have squeazed in next to prinpo... am feeling like a bit of an imposter as i think date would now be june 01... but on basis that i will be falling pregnant with twins this month (one girl, one boy) i will stay on there as they normally come early...Grin ...touch of the first day fantasies here...

So, I will be very annoying and say that I got a BFP this morning! In shock Shock and still not getting too excited - need to see GP and get through first 12 weeks. In typical me style I am CONVINCED that something bad will happen.

Jeepers!!

Will keep y'all posted and I'm sending lots of positive thoughts to everyone on here.

Congrats to Lola and Wombat! Grin

zinnia · 22/08/2010 10:03

Wow LittleMilla shortest bus ride ever! Congrats, that's fantastic news.

lola any news before list update...?

and wombat - cautious woo-hoo!

CharlottesClan · 22/08/2010 10:19

morning guys.
still no positive test or af. dh has banned me from testing till tuesday which seems like a lifetime away.

was feeling sick thursday, friday and yesterday, but i feel normal today. so thinking maybe it was the excitement of it all BlushBlush

congrats to the bfps on here in the last few days, not been able to get on as dh has had control of the computer for uni work (his extension deadline is tomorrow) ive just jumped on while he makes lunch lol!

LittleMilla · 22/08/2010 10:40

Charlotte - I had symptoms this week and then felt fine yesteday and this morning. So despite a sleepless night only thinking about it, i'd sort of told myself it'd be a BFN.

How many tests have you done? Are you late? I've managed to manke myself late through stress before, so perhaps you just need to try and distract yourself (or get pished) to take your mind off it.

Good luck! LM xxx

CharlottesClan · 22/08/2010 10:46

um ive done about 10 tests Blush
ive got another thread about my evaporation lines on here. i got a faint line cd28 a couple of hours after the test. and a darker line with fmu cd29 a couple of hours after.

im being assured they are evaps tho, so serves me right really.

retesting tuesday. with a proper one anyway, still working my way thru the ebay cheapies! tho i dont expect a line on them as they are so rubbish. i get them mainly for my fix lol!

Eskarina · 22/08/2010 14:35

I'm hopping off this bus. AF got me today, but I'm not surprised as DH had a crisis of confidence (do we really want to do this?) at the crucial point in the cycle, then set me wondering too. But we had a long talk and we're back on, so I'll have to wander off and catch that June bus when it turns up. Congrats to all the BFPs on here

ravenlocks · 22/08/2010 14:51

Congrats LittleMilla! Have put you on the grad list. Sorry Eskarina about AF, I remember you posting before about your DH's cold feet - glad you are back on track for June. Itching to put Lola and Wombat on the grads list but will resist until you ladies feel ready. What a good start.

This is my first month using BBT and updating FF with the temps data. I went on this morning to update all my temps for the last few days and she has told be I Ov'd on CD15, so am now 4DPO. She is 'suggesting' I wait to 19DPO before I test - is she insane!? I am disagreeing with her prediction of my AF due date also (CD30) and I think I will test on CD28 as I am pretty certain that is my AF due date, that is only 13DPO, but that is ok right?? I think I might have shorter than average luteal phase.

Did anyone read the article in the Observer magazine today about miscarriages? Says there is an US pharma company is planning on bringing out pregnancy tests for a couple of DPO and that the Miscarriage Association are lobbying them not to, to avoid CPs being picked up and the associated heartbreak. Wonder if that is why FF is suggesting 19DPO for me to test. Hmmm, dilemma.

ravenlocks · 22/08/2010 14:57

Also, does anyone else feel quite smug when FF tells you that you have a 'high' chance of conceiving based on when you DTD? Only got a 'good' last month so was determined to improve this month so I could go to the top of the class and polish my halo.

I am slowly going mad.Blush

zinnia · 22/08/2010 17:14

ooh ravenlocks I am hearing you about FF. This is my first month of BBT/FFing as well and she's telling me to wait till 18dpo before testing (like that's going to happen) and predicting a 32 day cycle Hmm when my longest ever has been 29! I think this based on the assumption that I ov'd on cd18 and giving me a 14 day lp, even though 10-16 days is the 'normal' range..

Am in the same dilemma about when to test, AF should be due on Saturday latest, I think, so if make it to Sunday a.m. without it will be v v tempted to poas even though that will only be 13dpo. Am going to try to hold out for 14dpo on Monday morning, but we'll see how the willpower goes!

Actually pixie that makes it 8 days for me too. We need a bank holiday testers section of the bus.

Fixated? Moi?
