Morning all.

Congrats to emmylou I've had no EWCM this month (and rarely do) so if AF gets me I shall be straight off to get EPO. I have EP scented handcream, do you think that counts? Grin

Queenrollo so sorry about your dog. It's heartbreaking to lose a pet, and I've never had one for nearly that long. I do remember one of the few times I've seen my dad cry was when he set out to drive his beloved dog to the vet for the last time. I was about 10 at the time.

to Getdown Nice to see you back. Have you been to the Dr yet? They might reassure you about fluctuating symptoms and inaccuarate tests [naive faith in NHS emoticom]

ravenlocks · 23/10/2010 08:50

Choco fwiw I don't think you should be worried that you haven't ovulated. You had a chemical pg this cycle, didn't you? I have heard that AF after a CP is lighter than normal (although not sure I understand why that would be). So maybe it is just that? Sorry you have had a tough cycle.

GetDownYouWillFall · 23/10/2010 09:11

Hi there eskarina!! Can't get an appointment till november 1st which is annoying... not classed as "urgent".

KLou111 · 23/10/2010 12:37

Thanks emmylou for the grapefruit tip. It obviously worked for you!!!

Will have to go and get some. Do you have to get the pure stuff or can I use concentrate? How much do you drink and when? Sorry bout all the questions lol!!!

Have a great weekend all xx

fledtoscotland · 23/10/2010 16:09

Hello all

Feel crap today to put it bluntly. Had stomach cramps first thing this morning but still have this weird pulsing in my tummy that i only get in early pregnancy. Feel sick every morning but had a BFN this morning.

Really did think AF was on her way thus morning but not now

Is my mind making up symptoms?????

KLou111 · 23/10/2010 18:05

oh no fledtoscotland sorry you're not feeling very well, but it may be a good thing, here's hoping that the BFN result was wrong.

I'm not feeling well either, but it's cos of a stinking cold. Hubby thought it would be a good idea to get me out for a walk along the beach yesterday to try and get some fresh air and clear it (??), but I think it made it worse.

Hate this time of year. Come on all, bring us some good news in this crap weather time :)

Sorry AF got you greeneyes, sucks doesn't it? Do you get another go on this bus? If so, do add your stats.

Cyberjules, I have added your stats - gave you an AF due date of 30 Oct, is that right?

Hi Ravenlocks thanks for adding me - I actually input my CD incorrectly should be CD18! I wish it was CD18 lol! AF Due 5th Nov :-)

KLou111 · 24/10/2010 10:19

Fingers crossed cyberjules that those little swimmersget to their target :)

Am now on the 2ww so we can all go through it together in cyber world lol

goingforfour · 24/10/2010 14:00

Hi, I thought I was doing well with the 2WW, I hadn't even bought any tests and was going to wait until wed to test. BUT, last night when pms pains struck, I went for a search and found some hidden first response tests so did one last night and the other this morning and no surprises both BFN.

I am now 12 DPO and trying to resign myself to the fact that I am most likely not pregnant this month :(. On top of that I am very moody which isn't probably fair on DH. Hope everyone is having better day than I am. Hopefully today will get better it's only 2pm!!

Congrats again emmylou can't wait to get that line :)

Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later for us all.

I had some CM today, was white and sticky. Sorry if TMI!!! But I think I was ovulating a couple of days ago, so not sure if this kind of CM ties in??

Went to Tesco yesterday and didn't buy any grapefruit juice as not sure then what to buy, but now I have this??

All confusing this TTC lark, I thought it would be a case of come off the pill, shag, pregnant LOL!!

ravenlocks · 24/10/2010 17:11

Updated you cyberjules. Congrats Emmylou, I will add you to the grads list, which will hopefully be getting quite a bit longer over the next week as loads of us are due to test in the coming days!

Meant to say goingforfour don't give up yet, may have been too early to test so could still turn BFP for you this cycle. Not over until fat lady sings as they say. Fingers crossed.

Brasso4 · 24/10/2010 18:47

Hello all, hope you have had lovely weekends.

Well tested this morning and BFN. Not too surprised, have no idea how long my cycle is and sure when I was PG last time it took ages to actually get a after my last AF.

No sign of AF yet so not completely getting off the bus! Will see how the week goes, have no tests at home and no spare cash so will wait until next weekend if still no AF.

Mylittlebubble · 24/10/2010 18:51

Evening Ladies. Af due today did a test this morning and it was BFN so put the test in my bag (as away this weekend at parents don't want to leave in their bin!!). TMI but have had some light brown blood today so thought AF is on her merry way Sad.

Anyway I was unpacking an hour ago and pulled out the test to find a tiny line on the stick. So did another test, cheaper internet one and I think there is a line but you have to be in a good light to see it! Cos I went back to the first test hours later I don't think it is reliable. Anyone else had this? Plus I am getting signs that full AF will get me tomorrow Sad

KLou111 · 24/10/2010 19:19

oooooo mylittlebubble sounds promising. I'd get another test tomorrow if AF doesn't come.

Fingers crossed x

rosieposey · 24/10/2010 20:32

mylittlebubble sounds good - let us know. Fwiw when im pg i get all the signs that AF is due too - cramps ect, fingers crossed for you.

emmylou i already congratulated you on the other thread but just want to say good luck on here too :)

Queenrollo so sorry about your dog - you must be devastated :( I would be too.

Well 6dpo here and just a long old wait till next weekend to test, sort of feel like im wishing my life away trying all these cycles, waiting to ov, waiting to swi and waiting to test Confused

Had a great lazy day today though, first one in quite a while - hope you have all had a good one and for those waiting to test good luck and for those waiting to swi good luck Grin hoping this might turn into a really lucky thread!

KLou111 · 24/10/2010 20:59

Anyone on 2ww got any symptoms?? Driving me insane!

8 days to go......

Scottygirl10 · 24/10/2010 22:18

Trying to convince myself I have symptoms klou, like veins, slightly tender boobs and some mild cramping...prob kidding myself tho! Af due on Thursday so can't see this week out quick enough! Just xlnt put out of my misery!!! Oh and did I mention my insane irrationality? Deffo not imagining that one! X

fledtoscotland · 24/10/2010 22:25

Evening all. The mad symptom imaginer returns Grin

As I updated Scottygirl this afternoon, the nausea continues every morning lasting anywhere from about 10mins to an hour. I had had random crampy pains - nothing serious or enough to make me take any painkillers but enough to make me think AF is on her way. Boobs v tender but think that's just me. Not really pre-menstral. Haven't cried all week and haven't bitten DH's head off since Monday. Still getting weird pulsing in lower abdo like I did with other early pregnancies but its not constant so making me think I am imagining it.

Had a headache tonight which is a sure sign that AF is imminent.

Am going to be strong and not POAS until tues (that is if AF hasn't appeared ... buy maybe I will just POAS even then just to satisfy my urges to staring blankly at a stick where a line clearly doesn't exist thinking that if I do stare long enough it may appear Blush)

Mylittlebubble · 25/10/2010 07:11

Well AF still not arrived and any sign of her appearance has gone. Did another internet cheaper this morning and it was clearly BFN. Confused I am away now with work until Wednesday so will buy a digital test for Wednesday morning, hope I can wait that long!!!

Do you think Hippyhen is now missing in action?

queenrollo · 25/10/2010 08:30

nothing doing here.....i still have no idea what's going on with my cycle. AF (if she arrives) should be earlier than usual if my herbal stuff is doing it's job.....
Not sure if i OV'd or not. Last Tuesday i got very odd pains, where i normally get AF cramps but they were like little electric shocks instead. Hmm
DS said to DP on the dog walk yesterday 'can we have a baby? i'd be very good to it if we did have one' I asked him later if he would want a brother or sister and he said 'just a baby, i don't mind'
I've obviously not mentioned the possibility of a sibling to him, and up til now he's been quite vocal in his dislike of the small crying, smelly bundles Grin

Feeling less raw about the dog now though the other one has become my shadow over the weekend. He's obviously missing the other dog, they've always been together. Fortunately i don't work so he won't be spending long periods of time on his own.

Congrats to all BFP's Smile and good luck to those soon to be testing.
Sorry for those who got AF.....lets hope the next cycle is lucky for you all.

fledtoscotland · 25/10/2010 15:50

Well AF has caught me good & proper :( however will still be on this bus as if I do get a BFP next cycle the bump would be due 1st august but as it would be a c-section at 39wks it technically be a July 2011 bump

So will keep u lovely ladies company for another couple of weeks and spread lots of baby dust round
