KLou i am so pleased you got good news about your doggy! Smile

Eskarina · 02/11/2010 16:18

Klou I'm so pleased about your dog! I have to take my cat to the vet in a minute mostly for her annual MOT and jabs, but also because she's had diarrhoea since we came back from holiday and just isn't herself. I know she hates going in the box, never mind to the vet, and, although I'm fairly sure there's nothing really wrong with her I'm still mildly concerned as it's so unlike her to be ill.

cycle wise I'm close to giving up! Due to test tomorrow as that's 14DPO according to FF and I'm beginning to think I'll have to accept that she was right and I was wrong about this month's ovulation. Might see if I can make myself wait until thursday or friday though as feel rather like AF is about to arrive and I don't want to wast a stick or give myself false hope by testing too early.

KLou111 · 02/11/2010 16:21

ah, test Eskarina, they're 20p off ebay if you buy 25 x
PS Hope you're cat doesn't get too stressed, poor little thing

littlemisslozza · 02/11/2010 18:00

Nothing going on here, am on day 30 now but my cycle was up to 35 days when I got pg with DS1 and 2. DOn't hold out much hope if that is the case as DH was harvesting around the time I would have ovulated but we'll wait and see. Had a BFN yesterday and I normally know I'm pregnant before AF is due.

kat2504 · 02/11/2010 18:14

Leaving the bus this evening and hopping on the next one, armed with a cbfm this time!

Hope I don't see too many of you over there- good luck to the remaining passengers!

Eskarina · 03/11/2010 07:51

I gave in and tested again today. BFN again. Now on CD40, 14DPO by the most conservative estimate.
Even FF has given up on me Sad She's put an "I don't believe you" symbol on my chart.

I suppose 14DPO is quite early really.

I'm struggling with sleep at the moment, so I suppose that could be screwing up my temps, but surely it can't be preventing AF from showing up??

GetDownYouWillFall · 03/11/2010 09:17

Oh Esk how confusing!

Post another link to your chart, we will have a look-sy for you xx

KLou111 · 03/11/2010 10:23

:( What a pain!!!

littlemisslozza · 03/11/2010 13:45

I'm off the bus for this month, nevermind. Hope I don't see many of you on the next one... good luck!

Eskarina · 03/11/2010 17:03

Esk's confusing chart

Should be at the gym tonight but am exhausted from not sleeping much and have cold so am writing myself an excuse note from my mum!!

Still no AF. I bought a clearblue test or four at lunchtime on my way from a course back to work. I'm so daft. I wanted a digital one but in my rush didn't realise that CB do non-digital ones too so saw there were cheaper ones which were also mucho reduced I grabbed two packs of 2 and only realised they're not the ones I wanted when I was in the car and hurtling away from Boots. Now just need to decide how long to hold off for.
[grump]

The course I was on was all about changes to school entry next september and all I could think about was "but I want to be on mat leave then so I don't want to think about this"Grin

jigglebum · 03/11/2010 17:31

hi everyone - lots to read since I last was on so not sure I can keep up with everyone's news. Sorry to those off to join the August bus and expect I will see you there . Ovulation appeared to occur early for me this month which somewhat surprised me so did not get much SWIing in before and was away for the vital weekend (without DH) so not much hope this month. Now 10DPO I think but no symptoms.

We are moving house on friday and I have a job interview in a couple of weeks so plenty to keep us busy anyway. Going to pack away my preg tests tom and not unpack them for a few days in the new house to stop me testing early.

Spent the weekend with several friends who have 2 kids and made dh and I even more keen to conceive no 2.

KLou111 · 03/11/2010 18:15

Hi jiggle Sounds like you've got a lot to do!! It's always saddening when others have got what you want :( and want it NOW!
We only have one couple of our main circle of friends that currently has a small child though and he is a devil child, sweetness he is not!! Know lots of peeps with kids, but he's our main 'experience'. Although we have not been put off lol.

Well I've just counted how many tests I have, and I have 21 out of the 25 I bought the end of August, so looks like I won't be running short this weekend when it's 'D-Day'........or maybe B-Day.......here's hoping :)

GetDownYouWillFall · 03/11/2010 18:49

Esk your temps are still up so either:

  • you've got a long luteal phase (up to 16 days is normal)

OR

  • your AF is on it's way

OR

  • you are pregnant, and just not showing up on the tests yet

It does look like you ov'd so hopefully all is in good working order. Just give it a few more days.

Brasso4 · 03/11/2010 18:52

Hello all

Sorry to hear about your mad cycles Eskarina, still no AF for me either. Puts my cycle length at 40days! Will perhaps test again tomorrow but knowing when I BD'd this month, if it is negative tomorrow then I think that is it over for the time being.

I have a suspicion that my cramps last Friday might have been OV pains, in which case my cycle will be around 50 days! Shock

Not many BFPs on this thread Sad good luck to all of you still testing....

MrsP81 · 03/11/2010 20:24

Hey all

I was expecting AF today and she didn't arrive so tested but got a BFN. From the way I've felt today I think she is on her way soon, got my usual headache and a new spot on my chin. Also felt massively down in the dumps today. Sad

KLou111 · 03/11/2010 21:04

Think we're all having a very confusing month!!

jigglebum · 03/11/2010 21:12

Should be packing!! Brasso I thought the same - definitely less BFPs on this thread so far than you would expect. Fingers crossed for everyone yet to test. Seems to be that quite a few of us have long/irregular/confusing cycles which can't help us.
GetDown have just read through a bit more of the thread - so sorry to hear about MC - sorry I missed that earlier. Hope you are ok.

sillybillymummy · 03/11/2010 21:49

I tested this morn - BFN , then AF turned up - so i am off to next bus, good luck everyone else

KLou111 · 03/11/2010 21:55

Well, now I'm REALLY confused.

Sorry if TMI, but just been to loo and have a really light reddy-pinky colour discharge.

Not due on til I think around the 8th going off my 1st post pill cycle which was 35 days.

Totally confused as to whether this is the start of AF or something else???

I have heavy period usually, so perhaps should wait to see what's there tomorrow.

Have just put it into FF and it's changed my cycle length to 29 days if this is the start of AF.

Has anyone ever had implantation bleeding? Just read about it (as a final hope) and it's saying on the net my symptoms, as if it is. I am 9 DPO according to FF, even though I think I am about 12.

Should I be testing if it goes tomorrow or perhaps the next day? Confused

mrsden · 03/11/2010 22:20

Still no AF for me but I feel like it is about to start. Sore boobs, feel very grumpy and a bit crampy Sad But I'm not going to give up all hope until she arrives!

It sounds like a few of us are in the same position, just waiting for AF to arrive. I was also thinking that there hadn't been many BFPs on this bus. Good luck to everyone waiting to test.

queenrollo · 04/11/2010 06:57

KLou I had two cycles where i ahd what you described and the first time I was convinced it was implantation, but i wasn't PG. The second time it happened i still got excited about it being implantation and again, it wasn't........but you know it could be. I'd test in a couple of days if i were you.....and i'd probably keep testing every couple of days after that if BFN until you either get a Smile or AF shows up.
Frustrating isn't it!
I really don't think i'm PG this cycle, I have no symptoms at all. Not even my usual pre AF ones and so I really have no idea what's going on. I'm either CD 35 or CD 26 depending on what this herbal stuff has done to my system......

jaggythistle · 04/11/2010 08:34

Daft early tester here. Blush

BFN this morning.

However have done my temps the last few days too to practice for next month and so far they are going down every day, so not especially hopeful.

Might try to wait till saturday now instead of caving tomorrow morning! At teh moment FF thinks I am due AF mon/Tues, I'm sure it said Sun/Mon the other day so I must have confused it!

jaggythistle · 04/11/2010 08:35

PS noone told me internet cheapies were sooo tempting! Don't think I had any last time I was TTC...

Wombat33 · 04/11/2010 10:49

Morning all, just a quick one to say I'm off to the August bus unfortunately. Good luck to all of you still on here!
