Hi,

I had Implanon removed end of November, have had one period since and am currently on day 16. TTC #2. Used some OPKs over the weekend which were positive on Sunday and Monday morning so assuming I ovulated Sun or Mon perhaps tho this was my first time using them properly.

Anyone else due to test around the same time who wants to share (possibly non-existent!) symptoms? :)

Thanks BlueCrane, yup here's hoping one way or another!!! Wish i had a time machine and could jump forward 7 days!

arabella36 · 18/01/2011 14:15

Hi sunface, I can't remember about CM at the end of cycle. I don't think I usually get any but can't be certain as have only started paying attention to things this cycle! Certainly don't have any now and AF is due in 4 days time.

The BFNs are crap, aren't they! But not enough to stop repeat POAS offending. . .

I second your POASA group ideaGrin

sunface · 18/01/2011 14:32

thanks arabella36, i'm not holding out much hope, still feel very yucky and period-y if that makes sense....A bit like you, i've only started paying attention to my body what happens in the 2ww!

ghosteditor · 18/01/2011 14:53

I feel like we should have a little round up of when we will all know one way or the other (in an ideal world obvs)!

AF is due Monday 24th assuming return to a 28 day cycle after a 21-day blip last month. I'm usually crazy regular so don't actually know if the short cycle last month will have a bearing on this month. Any ideas?

Anyone else the same? Or are you all over the weekend?

sunface · 18/01/2011 15:02

good idea,

If i'm on my normal 28-29 day cycle, AF due Sat or Sunday.....so i guess i could test sunday if AF doesn't appear, although i'm fully expecting her to.....

25babalou · 18/01/2011 16:01

hello ladies, new on here but it's so reassuring to know that I am not the only 1 feeling like this! I'm TTC for baby no2, my 1st is 4yrs old now. this is my 1st cycle, I had the copper coil removed on the 5th but didn't ovulate until 10th-12th so not sure if we will be successful this month. My cycle is usually 32-35 days so due to test on 28th- so hoping for a lovely bday pressent xx Good luck to all those trying xxx

BlueCrane · 18/01/2011 16:12

Hello all. If I've got my cycle calculated correctly then AF due thurs/fri. Planning to test thursday morning though nervous it will be too early and be bfn...not sure which I prefer bfn or AF starting! Will keep you posted.

'Symptoms' almost gone again though the joy of constipation seems to have returned today! Have had following 'symptoms' on and off in the 2ww:
Bloating/Cramps/Tiredness/Diarrhoea/Constipation/Larger breasts/Hunger/lack of appetite

Here's hoping! Smile

When is everyone else due for AF/POAS?? Must be soon if going by name of the thread!

ghosteditor · 18/01/2011 16:57

hey 25babalou, good to see another name on the list and of course good luck with TTC. Another Aquarius on the list then I see, happy birthday (for the 28th)?

Gotta love the symptom spotting, I actually feel a bit sick but I know that's not even usually a factor at such an early stage, must be psychosomatic!

I'm having quite a quiet week at work so far too, which just makes the waiting even more interminable...

CazandBelle · 18/01/2011 17:00

blue I'm not 100% sure when AF is due tbh. Came of pill start of Nov, had a normal break bleed then, and then went onto have a 44 day cycle. Before I had #1, I was on pill and a regular 31/32 days, after #1 I was straight back on pill (9 days later!), so that was my first proper cycle since birth. Going on ovulation, I'm guessing this one will be about 37 days, so due on 26th maybe?

I wasn't convinced I'd ov last month, but I'm pretty certain I have this month, because the sticks said so and I had loads of pain and ewcm at the same time.

Only 'symptom' so far is the boobie thing. Everything else I'm feelin is down to illness! lol

Trying to hold out until Sunday earlier to test!!! Really I should wait until a week today!!

CazandBelle · 18/01/2011 17:02

lol that made no sense. when i came off the pill the first time I was a regular 31/32 days that should've said.

BuffyFairy · 18/01/2011 18:59

Hello ladies. AF is due on Sun. I think. 1st cycle was 42 days, 2nd 37 days and going by prob ovulation I reckon this will be 35 days.

Will do a test on Sat. If it's a BFG then at least I'll be able to console myself with a large glass of wine on the night out! Been trying to avoid it in the 2ww and gone right off alcohol the last week.

At least i'm getting AF now. Did come off the pill before TTC. Tried for a year, only had 3 periods and no pg.

arabella36 · 18/01/2011 19:04

Hi ghosteditor, for your round-up, I'm due on 22nd-23rd which is Saturday or Sunday. Could be a longer cycle though because I didn't ovulate until CD17-18 this cycle.

daimbardiva · 18/01/2011 20:34

AF due 25th, I'm getting really twitchy now. Only our second month of ttc after my mc last November, but I am just desperate to get pg again. I don't think I realised how much till now...:(

Snakeears · 18/01/2011 20:49

Evening everyone.

BuffyFairy I know what you mean about stabbing sort of pain - but for me it's left side. Although maybe just period pains.

I've totally convinced myself I'm not preggers today because I've been a bit moody like I have PMT!6 more get ups to the 24th!

Good luck testers!

Snakeears · 18/01/2011 20:55

Hi Ghost for a round up I'm TTC#1 usual cycle 27 days due AF on 24th.

VintageNancy · 18/01/2011 21:10

My period due 21st - 26 day cycle. I'm TTC#1 and this is cycle 3.

I was just chatting to my husband via video - he's away on business- and I pointed out that I'd tidied his study. He asked if I was nesting lol! I have had a crazy urge to tidy lately - is that another (imaginary) symptom?? Hee hee. I think it's just a way of distracting myself from the temptation of POAS!

skippyjroo · 18/01/2011 21:50

Evening all

After a weekend of disappearing imaginary symptoms, I have had a stomach cramps most of today and my boobs are really sore Blush My period is due on the 22nd though, so could just be a premenstrual thing... Hmm

Am really struggling not to test!

VintageNancy · 18/01/2011 22:05

Don't do it ?skippy?!

Do you think we all need a 7-step programme for our POAS addictions? I'm feeling very tempted to test tomorrow morning.

Not had nausea as much today - but very bloated which would of course be consistent with period being due in a couple of days.

VintageNancy · 18/01/2011 22:07

Hmm not sure why bold didn't work in that last post. Should have been skippy - think I pushed the wrong buttons!

skippyjroo · 18/01/2011 22:21

VintageNancy
Step 1: don't buy the damn things until AF is a no-show.
Step 2: if you must have a stash of them at home, keep out of reach of TTC ladies...

Not exactly a 7-step programme, but its a start Grin

Icoulddoitbetter · 18/01/2011 22:22

Hello!
Today I had a teeny tiny bit of spotting first thing, and for the rest of the day I've had cramps and constipation, lovely! Feels just like I'm about to start AF but assuming I'm still on my 26 day cycle then that's not due till monday.
Occasionally my cycle with change and get a little shorter, but surely it can'y get 5 days shorter? Don't think I could cope with PMT every three weeks!

skippyjroo · 18/01/2011 22:23

Oh, and btw VintageNancy, don't do it tomorrow morning!!

skippyjroo · 18/01/2011 22:26

Ohhh, that sounds really positive, if you'll pardon the pun, Icoulddoitbetter! Will keep my fingers crossed for you Smile

VintageNancy · 19/01/2011 07:51

Well I didn't test this morning... Because it was obvious that it would be pointless. Period got me 2 days early :( I guess the huge spot on my face and the bloating were a clue! So all my "symptoms" really were imaginary. Oh well, onwards!

Fingers crossed for everyone else - hoping for some BFPs for the thread! X

FluffyDonkey · 19/01/2011 09:00

I'm sorry VintageNancy - that's really crappy.

And I can't believe you've all been testing!!! Wink ...I haven't yet but only because of my awful work hours, meaning I can't get to the shops to buy one anyway.

I know I'll crack this weekend and test on Sunday (AF due Monday - in theory). Thing is all my "symptoms" have gone now so I don't think I am actually pregnant. Sad

Had a whopping migraine yesterday and as I might be pregnant I couldn't take any medecine. Was horrible.
