Title says it all, really. The buses are so big I find it a bit confusing - if anyone wants to share in a bit of symptom spotting and POAS, please join me! 3 DPO and already enjoying some nice imaginary nausea Hmm... please come and share your similar delusions with me...

Hello Running and Tanif - Tanif, I also envy your control! Running, I hope your cramps are good cramps! I have the same - trying to tell myself is AF on her way though, as don't want to get my hopes up. Had random 25 day cycle last month (usually around 30) so as am on day 24 now it could just as easily be AF. Fingers crossed for us both!

Hi. I'm testing 15/16th. My breasts are currently feeling unusually heavy and full, and it is very uncomfortable when anything is pushed against them. I have never in my life had discomfort in my breasts before my period, I've never experienced this before...

weimy · 11/05/2011 17:08

Oh, looks like a lucky point to be joining this thread with its first BFP! Congratulations piglet, come on sticky bean!

Thought I might join this thread as, if I ov'd when I suspected then AF should be due Sun/Mon. Have no real idea though, only 2nd cycle after having Mirena coil removed and had little to no periods while I had the coil so no real idea of cycle length.

Prior to coil fitting in 2009 was diagnosed with cysts on right ovary and cycles were very irregular so it's anybody's guess what'll happen really. Have driven myself mad symptom spotting and have variously imagined had nausea/sore boobs/mood swings/bloating, etc over past week but nothing at all at the moment and not really hopeful about this cycle.

I did cry watching The Simpsons earlier though, at which point Dh asked if I was sure I wasn't pregnant Blush

Lovely to 'meet' everyone and fx for a lucky testing weekend for us all!

RunningDay · 11/05/2011 21:17

ellifino · 12/05/2011 07:56

Congrats Piglet :) One down, lots to go. Lets hope that's the first bfp of many!

I was just logging on to say that I have changed my mind and am not stoic or determined. I just really want to be pregnant and I shall be utterly bummed when if I'm not.

I really hope it happens for you this month, ellifino.

I have also lost any stocism I did have and am also deeply confused. My chart has dipped right down this morning but am only 9 DPO so really hope is not AF on her vile way as that would mean I was having a really weirdly short luteal phase (mine is usually around 13 days) as well as not being pregnant. Am of course secretly hoping it's an implantation dip but somehow find it hard to believe that it is.

Think I will try not to test tomorrow after all (assuming I haven't got AF by then anyway) as I assume that if it is an implantation dip today that would be too soon for a BFP and I am sick of seeing Arctic White pregnancy tests. Will try to hold out til Sunday I think - Fertility Friend says not to test until Monday but (a) I don't think I can wait that long and (b) don't think I can stand the thought of starting the week with a BFN.

LIACC - firstly, I keep meaning to say I love your name. I am a huge Nancy Mitford fan, well all of the Mitfords really. I think Jessica is my favourite - but then it depends on my mood. I even read the biographies. Not all of them, obviously, I omit the crap ones. And the collections of letters are wonderful.

I''m afraid I am no good with temps and charting and things. I hope it's an implantation dip though.

Someone earlier in the thread was bemoaning the fact that you can't have a drink half the time, and all fopr nothing. I feel similarly about all the feckin Folic Acid I am chugging for no purpose whatsoever.

ellifino · 12/05/2011 08:23

Oh, and thank you for the positive wishes :)
