Afternoon all. Very premenstral today :( bitten DHs head off for breathing

Hi everyone,

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you all. Dont lose hope yet fled

I'm starting to lose hope. Today is supposed to be CD23. I always struggle with CD1 as I spot before AF arrives but from memory this month I counted CD 1 as the first day of proper bleeding.

I had Day 21 blood test 2 days ago so I will be interested to see what the results are because TMI went to the loo earlier and when I wiped there was a 20p size of red blood, then nothing since. I thought I was feeling a few cramps too but been standing a lot today which always gives me back ache.

I think maybe the spotting will start tomorrow CD24, then on and off till CD27 when AF will arrive. I'm quite regular CD27/28 but always spotting before.

I have appt at clinic in December to get results of Day 3 and Day 21 bloods and DH sperm sample and an so scared about it.

And to top things off a magpie has just landed outside the window. aaaargh

Ive had a few reflexology sessions which I was hoping would help but its another one of those months. WHY??????????????

Congrats on BFPs to the first two. Good luck to those of you nearing testing and fingers crossed for everyone else.

Yet another friends has just announced she's pregnant - seems I have exceptionally fertile friends in RL. Finding the longer TTC goes on the harder it is to act pleased for other people. How long do people wait before asking about fertility issues at the doctor?- we were going to wait until the new year, as that would be a year but beginning to think the sooner the better.

However, with a grumphy DH and a toddler who is very hard work at the moment I sometimes wonder if we would cope anyway! But in the long term I know we would love 2.

Huge congratulations to GetDown!
Sorry that AF has arrived, Knitter but glad you are staying with this bus! My cycle has also gone a bit haywire recently - were always around 31 days but have been getting steadily shorter and last cycle was 25 days. Not sure if it's significant or not.
queenrollo sounds like you are having a very stressful time at the moment. (maybe you could take a break from 'trying' as such and just not do anything to prevent?) Although, it can be very hard to put it out of your head when you think there's even the slightest chance you could be pregnant.
Take care, whatever you decide.
still keeping fingers crossed for fled and greeneyes - I get several days of spotting before af too but think there is still hope if af hasn't actually arrived (I know some women have spotting for the first few weeks of pregnancy).
Sympathies jigglebum, can be hard to be happy for others. I'm ok with first pregnancies but very of second or third - doesn't make me like myself very much though.
I think we started trying around the same time and I plan to go the gp if I'm not successful this month. Not panicking yet but at 36 I don't want to waste any time.

Welcome goingforfour,nelly and KLou!

Thank you for the lemsip Teds, it seems to have done the trick and I don?t feel as bad today. I?m the same as you in that we waited to ttc for quite a few reasons, knowing that it was unlikely I?d fall pg straight away when we started but still being disappointed when I didn?t.

Got my fingers crossed for you lovely ladies at the front of the bus about to test!

Hi everyone,

Can I hop on board? This is my first trip on the bus so hoping it will be a short journey.

I believe my stats are

TTC#2 Cycle 1 UCL 30-35 AF due 30th Oct ish

Good luck all x

Hi emsiedoodle welcome on board.

Nothing much to report here. Think I'm on the 2ww, symptom spotting away. Today's favourite has been crampy feelings, but I know perfectly well that they're a result of IBS, which I've had for a couple of years now. Why this month do they mean I must be pg??
Oh, and I've got a sore neck. Classic symptom of pg that one right?? [hopeful face]

Good Morning everyone!

Thank you for your welcome messages and welcome to those who have got on since I did.

I think I am now 9DPO and trying not to symptom spot but feeling a bit pre-menstrual so no idea what that means!

I have 3DD (age 5,3 and 3) and a dog!. Having twins is really great but prob would prefer just one this time around.

Obviously hoping for BFP(will try and not test until next wed) but this is first cycle so trying not to get hopes up but it is so hard not to.

Taking youngest 2 for pre-school injections this afternoon- I haven't warned them yet as I think then I wouldn't be able to get them in the car without kicking and screaming. When I took my eldest DD she kicked the nurse!

Hmmm veiny boobs? Like that before or yet more phantom symptom spotting?!! Anyone else had this with previous pregnancies? Also some light cramping, not imagining that tho ;)

spotting slightly

I am gutted.

Hope it doesn't turn into full period Greeneyes, many do spot around this time when pg. Will you get another go on this bus if it does turn into AF? Come and sit with me being naughty and throwing blown up johnnies around at the back x

Boo hope it's just spotting not AF Greeneyes

Scottygirl was convinced my boobs were really veiny last month so was depressed to not just get a BFN but to realise I must just have veiny boobs!

Choco sorry to hear that AF did arrive for you in the end. Hope you are going to have another go on the July bus.

Plus welcome to all the newbies. We are a very packed bus now!

Think I'm 8dpo and currently have absolutely no symptom. Grr.

New to this? hello everyone!

After reading this board for the past 3 weeks I?ve finally plucked up the courage to post!

A wee bit about me? I?m 30 next week, my husband and I are TTC#1, this is our first month.

I?m now three days late, a few period like pains but not my normal. I?m usually pretty regular but I?m not wanting to get my hopes up just yet.

Think ur prob right teds :( and welcome moray! Do a test!!! Your 3 days late so might show up by now ;) x

TEST TEST TEST!!!

moray def do a test!! (and welcome [hgrin] )

greeneyes hope it is just some pre-BFP spotting!!

scottygirl veiny boobs are a sign!! (the skin thins out or something) fingers crossed for you!

Good luck to everyone testing! About to start SWIing finally. first two weeks are really boring!!

Welcome Moray you have pretty impressive will power to be 3 days late without testing! Though maybe I've lost a little perspective

scottygirl don't be veiny boobs are a sign as goldmaple says.

Thanks everyone.

Teds I guess I just don't want it to be negative.

I'll let you know!

Good luck to everyone else testing!

Hi girls :)

I havent posted in a while because i was a bit :( over last months CP, on the two week wait now though :) i see you have put our due af dates on the stats - what a great idea!

Just want to say hello to everyone who has joined since i did and congratulations to the two lucky BFP's! Thats great that we have two already - come on morayrose its looking very positive (s'cuse the pun)

The cp threw out my ovualtion though i think so i ended up ov'ing on day 20 which makes me due AF on Nov 1st - wont be testing till Halloween (im off out that night and will be drinking) but i think 13 dpo is late enough to test, im not making the same mistake as last month and testing at 8dpo, i might have got a faint positive but it didnt stick and id rather not know this time. Ill adjust my stats for the 1st of Nov (even though will test the day before).

Can I jump on too?

TTC #3 Cycle 2 UCL 28-30 (so AF due around 1st-3rd NOv I think).

moray how have you had the willpower?????

I am DYING to test!! CD1 on 5th Oct but been told am a little optimistic to be testing yet.

Had cramp in right hand side of belly tonight. Am on CD17 so can't possibly be ovulation......could it?

Should be plenty of sperm available for little eggy if so :)

What I don't understand is if the egg is there, and so is the sperm, what takes everyone so long to fertilise? I know everyone is different, but surely nature would be to fertilise??

Confused.com!!

Good luck with those waiting to test xxxxx

hey one and all!

No full on period, just a slight spotting for 1 day. I did a test this morning-dont ask why, it was just there and I thought, well you never know! BFN. Worried now, if I didn't have a proper period, does that mean i'm not ov'ing?

Fingers crossed rossie
Moray best of luck
