I am about to start cycle 5 and wondered if there were any fellow sex pests out there who wanted to join me in regular swi, not so regular poas and plenty of Wine, Biscuit, Brew and [chocolate emoticon].

Looks really promising Poppy! Smile Fx for you!!

I starting getting sore boobs last night which, if last cycle is anything to go by, means AF is on her way. So not holding out much hope for this month.

BoogiesBunny · 15/05/2011 14:58

Hey bun - don't give up just yet. And your post makes me think - you know the way implantation doesn't happen until 7-10days post ovulation? Well, does that mean that your regular 'symptoms' carry on as normal up until implantation (if it happens) i.e. whether or not an egg is fertilised? So, for example, my boobs start hurting immediately after ovulation until AF arrives - so, when the lucky month comes and I do get PG, I'd have sore boobs as normal, at least up until implantation?

BunMyOven · 15/05/2011 15:56

Gosh Boogies I wish I knew the answer to that one! You would think that would be the case - that the hormonal change after implantation would change any pre-existing symptoms. It's just so difficult to tell though isn't it? Confused

I had an 'implantation dip' on my chart this morning (DPO 8), so that could be something or nothing....symptom spotting is a nightmare!
At the begining of my cycle I'm all optimistic and layed back about it all, OV time is exciting - a bit like a science experiment - and then rolls on the 2WW and all sanity goes out the window!
Why oh why do pre-menstrual symptoms have to be the same as early pregnancy symptoms?!

BunMyOven · 15/05/2011 16:06

Sorry, very rambly post! and clearly I meant 'laid back' not 'layed back'! Blush

weimy · 15/05/2011 19:26

Thank you wouldbe :), still not totally sure what to do but AF not arrived yet still spotting so have 2 weeks to get head together.

Hi ladies

just updating my stats - Fertility Friend can't agree with itself about my O date and as I am AF-less and BFP-less I think it is doubtful I am actually 14 dpo today so I am going with its other "suggestion" that I ovulated a bit later so I am actually 6 dpo (confused? I am..... Confused )

This 2ww is lasting an extremely long time, my body isn't playing fair at all!

Off on holiday on Friday which will be great but will definitely be packing those tests! My 2nd wedding anniversary is whilst we are away and it would be just lovely to get a BFP on that day....here's hoping! Smile

Lugsie · 17/05/2011 12:37

Oh poppy that would be lovely to get your BFP on your anniversary - fx for you Smile

I'm currently on CD29 of 30 - af is due on Thursday... I'm a bit confused because I normally have pre-af symptoms at this stage - sore boobs and a raging hunger, but I have nothing! Its all very strange. On the other hand though I recently got a new app on my phone called iPeriod (does anyone else use this?) and although I have inputted my last few cycles as being 30 days long, one or two slightly longer cycles before that has messed up my average, so iPeriod reckons my cycle this month will be a couple of days longer with af not being due until Saturday! Should make for an interesting couple of days as I wait to see if the app is right - although hopefully af won't arrive at all! Grin

I see from the list that theres quite a few of us with af due in the next few days, sending luck to everyone x

BunMyOven · 18/05/2011 07:47

BFP! BFP!!!! I did a test this morning, four days before AF's due because I'm a glutton for punishment and it's only a friggin BFP! I had to show it to DP to make sure I wasn't seeing things Grin

I just can't believe it. and I'm already dying to tell everyone I know! We had a friend stay over last night and he was still here when I tested, I nearly told him 100000 times Grin

BoogiesBunny · 18/05/2011 10:53

AHHHHHHHHHHH! BUN!!! Amazing - I am so SO happy for you!!!!! You really do have a bun in the oven!!!!!! What a wonderful start to the day!!!

SWI has been in full swing with us. I had my monthly pain in my side yesterday (which I always take to be ov) - I'm feeling positive as this is our first month when we've really stuck to SWI during the key period. We might have a few more goes before finally getting some sleep this week! We are off to Italy on Monday which should ease the 2 week wait and, I'm sorry if I come across a bit naughty, but those vineyards are too good to miss! I hope I get a BFP this month!!!

Lugsie · 18/05/2011 10:56

Bun thats fantastic news! Congratulations to you and your DP! Grin Four days early too! What test did you use? Oh I'm so pleased for you! Grin

eurochick · 18/05/2011 11:17

Congrats Bun!

BunMyOven · 18/05/2011 14:43

Aw thank you! Smile Still all giddy about it. Lugsie, I used a Clearblue Plus test, it says that 53% of pregnant women get a positive test result 4 days before Af's due which is pretty good.
Took DS(2) to the library today and he was a right nightmare! Decided to have his first proper public tantrum and was snatching toys of the other children - his way of letting me know what I'm in for with two DC's I think! Grin

Boogies how nice, Italy's lovely. I hope you have a lovely time, getting away definately helps with keeping the sanity over the 2ww. Make the most of the vineyards!! I'm in mourning over the half full (not half empty Wink) bottle of wine in the fridge! Fx for you!

peapop · 18/05/2011 16:15

Hi ladies! Haven't been on here for a good while!

Congratulations bun and to any other BFPs I missed!!! Grin

I'm currently on 2dpo and am symptom spotting already! Sore boobs (although did get that last month too), couple of dizzy spells, lower back ache... gah! I'm going to be a right pain for this 2ww aren't i!! Blush

I've already convinced myself it's ok to test around 10dpo so good to read about your BFP bun !

wouldbemumandotherstuff · 18/05/2011 21:09

fantastic news bun!!!! congratulations!!! let's hope you set a trend!! Smile

BunMyOven · 19/05/2011 09:48

Thank you Peapop and Wouldbe! I really hope I'm setting a trend too! Would be so lovely. Will stick around if you don't mind to keep up with all the news Smile xx

eurochick · 19/05/2011 11:30

Well that was odd. I just had to run to the toilets to retch. I am never sick. But according to my chart I am pre-ov. No LH surge yet, no EWCM (eugh, don't want to think of that right now) and no temp rise.

I guess I must have eaten something dodgy, but that normally just gives me an upset stomach. I am a rare vommer.

emmaloupolman · 19/05/2011 18:03

UPDATE

I am cd40 now and went for my blood test this morning at the hospital its just a waiting game now till they come back
Fingers crossed for me everyone

babybrain3 · 19/05/2011 22:47

I'm really fed up, it's been a month now since I had my coil taken out and we started swi, apart from slight spotting a couple of days after having it taken out, ive had no sign of AF at all... Would really like it to come once so that I can at least know when to expect the next one or not....

Congrats to all the BFPs!!!! I'm sure it won't be too long before were all in the same boat, up the creek without a paddle. Its the getting there that's the problem!!!

BoogiesBunny · 20/05/2011 11:14

Emma - everything is crossed for you!!!! It is a wonder that this baby making business is so up in the air a lot of the time.

CD18 here and I am completely with the person above who said that OV is such an optimistic time and then, immediately after it, I am completely consumed with thoughts of failure. It's not helped by the fact we planned to SWI (just to make sure we'd done our best) the last two nights but didn't as we have been so tired. I know it only takes once but I can't believe we would be so lucky (being the diligent, person I am I like to cover all bases!) and I'm now wondering if I got my OV date wrong (as who really knows!).

Moan moan moan - baby you'll be up and running in the next few days I'm sure as AF does seemt to make us wait a little when we are waiting for her (unless you've been super lucky!).

BoogiesBunny · 20/05/2011 11:15

OppsI baby I didn't mean to imply that you were moaning! I meant that I was moaning! Sorry!

Levana · 20/05/2011 13:01

I am now at 7dpo, I am always so unconvinced that I am pregnant by this stage. The first few days after ov I'm ok but I think one to many BFNs have made me a pessismist, not been trying that long but it feels like it.

It feels like it is never going to happen, can't imagine how unreal it is going to feel if it does.

Every month I want to tweak my diet / lifestyle to try and increase my fertility. I don't know if it works but it manages my anxiety Grin. This month more advocados and hazelnut oil - yum yum.

peapop · 20/05/2011 13:18

Fingers crossed emma !!

4dpo here and have had strange crampy type feeling low down since yesterday evening. Sort of like af but a lot lighter and a feeling of pressure if you know what i mean?! also had major dizzy spell this morning to the point i thought i was going to faint!

Not sure if i'm just winding myself up to be fair and dp thinks i'm nuts! Grin

Lugsie · 20/05/2011 14:57

Ooh loads of us due to test over the next week or so! Good luck girls!

Well for me I though af would be coming yesterday, as my past 3 cycles have all been 29-30 days, but af never came, and still isn't here today (today is CD32)... as I've said previously, I've been tracking my cycles using an app on my phone - the app reckons af will be coming tomorrow so I'm going to wait and see what tomorrow brings before testing. The only symptom I have now is slightly sore boobs but as we all know that could mean anything!

Going shopping later so debating whether to chuck a couple of tests into the trolley but don't want to jinx things! The only reason I've resisted testing so far is because I've made sure there are no tests in the house so I can't obsess - the waiting is driving me mad though!
