Jump on if you are a TTCer hoping that this cycle is 'the one' and will result in a sprog or sprogette due in November.

Welcoming season ticket holders and new passengers.

Ding ding!

ghost i was exactly the same last month i had a v strange af, a few days of light spotting a couple of medium days and that was it. no clots (sorry tmi) it was so similar to the af i had when i discovered i was pg last time i was convinced i was again.

Loup23 · 18/02/2011 17:03

well i caved and big fat surprise was BFN....
I know it's too early, was obviously expecting some sort of medical miracle!

Had a small amount of spotting yesterday and then nothing until this afternoon when had quite a bit of pink/red (tmi). Too early for AF as my cycles are 33 days (I'm only on CD23) but perhaps too early for IB - who knows.....!

stay strong cep. Wishing BFP to all those who are waiting - here comes the weekend!

cep · 18/02/2011 17:08

Grin oh loup listen to me carefully. pick up the remaining tests and either a) lock them away somewhere or b) give them to dh to hide. Wink

Loup23 · 18/02/2011 17:18

leaving the office now cep and locking it in my drawer! Grin

cep · 18/02/2011 17:34

good girl loup so proud of you. Grin

weimy · 18/02/2011 17:38

oh loup ,it is so difficult isn't it! :(

Imps7 · 18/02/2011 18:48

Oooops I made a mistake - it was spotting, not ERTD... Blush

Therefore I'm back to Cycle 2 CD 33...and back on the early-November bus!

Well done to all you non-testers! I bought 15 dipsticks from Amazon for £2.80 - they arrived yesterday and I've used 3 already! It's strange, but somehow getting a BFN on those is easier to stomach than getting one on a normal pee-stick. Maybe it's just the thought that I've wasted £6 which makes the pee-stick experience worse!

ghosteditor · 18/02/2011 22:50

thanks cep - and you're definitely not pg, it was just a weird AF?

I'm still sort of clinging onto my delusional hat as am currently hardly bleeding at all - v strange AF indeed.

Iggly · 19/02/2011 06:44

Fx that cep, lou and ghost are having implantation bleeds!

Another BFN this morning. AF was 3 days late last month and very heavy. Hoping (obviously) it's not the same this month. If she does turn up, at least make it light because it was horrid last time.

I hope someone gets a BFP soon!

cep · 19/02/2011 08:24

ghost i tested as few days after my af had ended, (can't remember if it was 2 or 3) and still neg, so unless it's the hormones taking a very long time to show themselves i don't think so. I haven't tested since and my temps stayed low. The last time (attached is the post i did at the time) post i didn't test until 4/5 days after my af had been due and it only started to show then. i wasn't temping then so don't know what they did.

iggly thanks. when's your actual af due date?

goingmadtrying · 19/02/2011 09:00

morning ladies, can i jump aboard?
Im offically in my 2ww at cd 17 so already thinking about when to test and only just finished fertile period lol Grin. Managed lots of swi during the right time this month, the timing was good so can only hope it will all turn out as a BFP!. Im due to test on 4th March but dont think I can last that long especially as have 3hpt upstairs, the bonus is got them for 2 for £1 bargain :) Good luck for everyone still waiting lets hope we have lots of BFP's

weimy · 19/02/2011 11:27

Hi goingmad How long is your cycle? Try to hold off for a bit longer Hmm

Well due to test on wed but temps starting to dip and have cramps already. I am feeling really defeated by it all. :(

sevendwarves · 19/02/2011 11:35

Well we managed some SWI last night despite my shoulder being agony. It had better be worth it!

lucyintheskywithdinos · 19/02/2011 15:47

Let the tWW madness begin!

So, my symptoms for the two previous pgs have been crying and cervix stayed high,but firm and closed.

Today (ridiculous I know as I'm only 1 dpo!) I nearly cried on the bus when a lady was shouting at a little girl who wanted to swop seats and cervix is high and closed.

Just needed to indulge myself so I don't obsess all weekend!

Weimy, sorry to hear you think ERTD is on it's way, tis too much of an emotional rollercoaster this TTC.

Enjoy your rest of weekends, we're out to the pub for brunch tomorrow, will be telling everyone that I don't feel well to excuse the not having a pint with my fry up!

sillybillymummy · 19/02/2011 16:56

Well ladies, there are so may messages i can't keep up

Just to say, my 2WW is nearly over, AF due on tuesday, so 3 more sleeps! I am trying to be good, and not test early.

Good luck everyone else testing this week

Iggly · 19/02/2011 18:11

cep not sure when AF is due. I usually have a 28 day cycle which would mean today. However last cycle was 31 days so AF on Tuesday if same as last month. Not sure what's going on! I'm getting crampy and backache so expecting AF any moment now.

weimy sorry to hear your temps are down :( I think I'm going to have to start charting as I feel like I don't know my body.

Oooo lucy fingers crossed for you!

dollysgirl · 19/02/2011 18:23

hi ladies!can i join u?? am cd1 ttc #2,just been doomed by the red tide today,day 30 of a usual 25day cycle grrrrr...but i would still be back-end november so i'll plonk myself at the back! OPK's tell me i ovulate day 8 so its not too long for me to get back into the SWIng of things....
I get my test results this coming week for the day2/21 bloods hopefully,as OPK's didnt work and i was worried i didnt ovulate at all,after 12mths of trying,and 21mths off the depo jab (took me 9 mthsfor cycle to resume) so im getting impatient...i told DH we are at it every night no matter what (lol) -we say that every mth!! i have a child with ASD so I soon become very shattered at any extra 'exercise' I indulge in,and it all goes down the pan...NOT THIS MTH FX!! good luck to all,i need to see some BFP'S to keep me going pls ladies X

louby86 · 19/02/2011 18:24

Hi everyone! Can I please join you lovely ladies? I recognise some names from a couple of threads I was on a while ago! I tried to not obsess and give MN a break but am struggling so have happily returned! Currently on tww on cd25, got more symptoms than I've ever had but that's probably my imagination and my body attempting to come out in sympathy since my sis gave birth this morning!

Iggly · 19/02/2011 18:28

Welcome louby and dolly! Fingers crossed louby that you've got proper symptoms. It's a hard wait isn't it?

dollysgirl · 19/02/2011 18:32

Hi LOUBY! congrats to your sister!...hopefully this is your month fx for you!! and at least u can have the pregnant-attention all to yourself now (lol)

louby86 · 19/02/2011 18:42

Thanks Iggly and Dollysgirl! Hopefully sis can have a few weeks of everyone loving the new baby and then maybe just maybe I'll have some good news of my own! I'm trying really hard not to take a first response test tomorrow, hoping I can hold out!

dollysgirl · 19/02/2011 18:42

hi iggly! hopefully your cramps are symptoms of a lil pip,not af (i know it means ur monthly,but what does AF actually stand for??) it isnt on the acronym list....

dollysgirl · 19/02/2011 18:52

since im so early n my cycle,im thinking i should try something new to give me fresh focus/hope!!can anyone reccommend anything dietwise/supplementary for me to try for this mth,as i havnt tried anything at all before ???

googietheegg · 19/02/2011 19:41

So with this being my first go, I'm not sure how quickly I can test? Do you have to wait til af is due? Aaaaaah!!!

goingmadtrying · 19/02/2011 19:52
