*see it as another spring clean

AstroNess · 23/09/2011 20:27

Oh Angel I'm really sorry that she got you. FX for next month.x

Crystal I think the earliest you might get symptoms in 10 days post ovulation, but I don't know where I got that from!?

Hugs to Mersea.

FX to everyone else. I want someone to get a BFP so much. Feel a little lonely over here!

So sorry AF turned up Angel - I love the idea of it being a spring clean though and I hope this is the one that prepares a home sweet home for a little angel next month. In the meantime, enjoy your well deserved Wine

Crystal I had symptoms (nausea) from the day I conceived with ds (until the day I gave birth - boak) but I know others who've not really felt anything until 6 weeks plus - sorry, that's not much help is it?

Everyone keeps telling me that each pregnancy can be entirely different and I'm hoping that's true as I'm sure I don't feel how I did at this stage the first time.

Well I was right about af arriving ladies, yesterday morning in full force. Still on to next month..... I'm due to ovulate in a week or so on cd 10-12 so with that in mind I will stay on the June bus for now since if I conceive this cycle, baby will still be due in june :0) i used to think that having af every 3 weeks was crap until I started ttc then realised it gives me several extra cycles to try for a baby each year. Gotta look on the bright side.

Mersea · 23/09/2011 22:45

Thanks for all your hugs and kind words, feeling better after a nice bath and a pamper. Have a great weekend, maybe time to enjoy a glass if you have a bfn and fx for everyone else still waiting. x

Imustbecrazy26 · 24/09/2011 14:27

mersea sorry to hear your feeling so low lately!!!

roger Sorry af got you i saw your other thread about clear blue test and totally agree with you they do get your hopes up and shouldnt be allowed to be on sale!!!

I have been ill all week with a terrible cold and cough so no swi this week as i have been in bed at 9 most nights with my bright red nose and tried using the opks but am not sure if my +ve was on the 14th which means af would be due around the 28th which means i would have a fairly normal cycle this month but not sure if i swi enough but even though am feeling better have been in bed most of the day absolutly shattered so am hoping this is a pregnancy sign rather then me still being ill Wink

Good luck to those testing soon

heroinahalfshell · 24/09/2011 14:46

Today is cd24 and just waiting for DH to get back from Tesco with a test...

Mersea · 24/09/2011 17:13

Sorry af arrived roger, still all the best for next month. I did not get away this weekend after all woke up during last night and was really sick did not stop for about 5 hours, certainly food poisoning rather than morning sickness me thinks! Taking it easy today as it wore me out

fx hero Smile

heroinahalfshell · 24/09/2011 17:58

BFN :( That's pretty much a definite isnt it :(

heroinahalfshell · 24/09/2011 21:53

And AF!!!!! 4 days early :( :( See you on the next bus guys xx

AstroNess · 24/09/2011 21:58

Oh hero i'm Sad for you. Hugs. x

Signet2012 · 24/09/2011 22:03

Af for me too.....

And hopping off onto another blooody bus!

heroinahalfshell · 24/09/2011 22:17

Thanks Astro ((Hugs))

Dalrymps · 24/09/2011 22:19

Oh hero I'm so sorry, probably see you on the next bus as still no symptoms for me..

I just found out last night that that my best friend (who is married to my brotherSmile) is pregnant! I am so so thrilled for them as she had to have one ovary removed due to a cyst last year. Now I'm thinking if I'm not pregnant this month then I might double check dates to make sure we don't end up being due at the same time. The thing is they live at the bottom of the country and we live right on the border before Scotland so if we were due the same time it would be difficult for us to go and visit the new baby. Anyway, will see how the dates work out, we might hold off for a month then carry on ttcSmile

Bleats · 25/09/2011 07:28

Morning all and sorry hero and Roger for the AFs.

I finally broke my poas cherry after having really bad cramps, aches, tiredness and an up/down temperature. So.... nadda, negative, nothing going on.

This means either my periods are in flux; not by much but I have never had a 28 day cycle +. Maybe my body is sorting itself out post coil.

Or the 99% claim is a bit bollocks Hmm . So I am going to wait. Tick tock. I bet that AF shows up by the end of the day. Grrrr - I secretly got quite excited about having a baby conceived in Rome. Explains why I am up so early. Sad

Bleats · 25/09/2011 08:29

Oh and Signet I didn't mean to miss you out and sorry that you are off the bus as well.

Lovely news Dalrymps. I sense that if you want to leave it a month for such a nice reason it will not be long for you.

Dalrymps · 25/09/2011 09:25

Sorry, I so didn't mean to leave out signet, I hope your time is very soon x

bleats Aww that's a nice thing to saySmileIve looked at the dates and we might actually be ok to carry on next month but not sure if I fancy travelling all that way when 8 months pg. I would of course but I am just undecided as to what to do. Will think on it some more...

I gave in and POAS this morning. CD 25 (I think?!) and a BFN. I am a mixture of disappointed and relieved because of my friend. Of course if the test was wrong and it was just too early to tell then I'll be happy but then it'll throw a spanner in the works for visiting my new niece/nephewConfused Jeez, I'm just babbling on now! I wish I'd have known they were ttc cause I would have tried to plan around it. Ah well, everything happens for a reason so I will just have to ride the wave of fateGrin

Btw Bleats are you psychic? It's just you said you sense it won't be longGrin

Dalrymps · 25/09/2011 09:47

Btw can anyone tell me what the expiration date is son the new tests they've bought? I just used a test out of the bathroom cabinet that I've worked out is at least 2 years old! Incidentally I believe the result but after doing a bit of research on the net it says that if you use expired tests you can get false results, can even get a false positive, I didn't think that was possible!

Think I'd better throw the old tests away, got a job lot on eBay when we were ttc ds2Grin

Dalrymps · 25/09/2011 10:35

Oh actually, I just checked the foil packet (duh!) and they expire 01/2012Smile

heroinahalfshell · 25/09/2011 10:39

Ok ladies I'm just jumping back on board to ask you a Q. This AF is most strange. I had blood last night when wiped (sorry tmi!) like a streak IYKWIM. Put a tampon in over night. Anyway this morning the tampon looks like v old dry blood and no more when wiped!!

No period pains. Nada. Usually I would be cramping and have VERY heavy flow on the first day.

Any ideas? Just an one do you reckon??

heroinahalfshell · 25/09/2011 10:39

*an odd one

Bleats · 25/09/2011 10:46

Hello Heroinahalfshell not only because your name makes me smile, but the symptoms suggest that it could be implantation. Jump back on for a while here is a Biscuit and [tea] and let's see what happens.

Dalrymps call it psychic or I prefer to call it the way the world works, but either way if it makes things more complex then I foresee for you!

Mersea · 25/09/2011 10:51

Sorry af arrived signet Not too sure about your bleeding hero mine often starts like that but if its unusual for you then it could possibly be an implant bleed, I would probably wear a towel instead of tampons until you are sure Smile and do a test again in a few days if bleeding has not got any heavier. My friend at work did not realise she was pg until late as she bleed a bit and just thought it was a light period. She did say she often would bleed in between periods so thought nothing of it and since being pg she has still bleed a bit on and off. So it really is dependent on what is usual for you.

hickorydick · 25/09/2011 11:34

Hello ladies,

I'm sorry I've been away for so long, it seems I've missed out on lots!

AF still hasn't arrived but I've been getting cramps since Thursday which has made me think that AF was coming soon. I decided to POAS this morning after avoiding all week as I didn't want to jinx it! Anyway I'm really confused at the result - it looks like a faint positive but it didn't show right away (I know that I'm supposed to leave it 3 minutes but I always expected BFP to show straight away) So I'm not sure if it's an evap line and AF is teasing me by staying away until the last minute. I think it would be so much easier to believe if I wasn't getting these cramps. I've read that evaporation lines have no colour but this is very light pink. I'm trying to upload the picture but my bloody camera is having none of it at the moment. I will persevere though and will hopefully be back later with a picture - I could do with more eyes on this (don't want to tell DP until I know for certain!)

GoldenDaffodil · 25/09/2011 11:41

Hello all. Just catching up with everyone's situations after being offline for a few days. Someone very close to me was diagnosed with cancer on Thursday so I've been trying to come to terms with the news.

So sorry for everyone who's had visits from AF. Hero (your nickname really is brilliant) your AF symptoms don't sound like a proper AF to me. If you don't get any more bleeding perhaps you should test in a few days.

I'd planned to POAS today but with everything that I've got going on I didn't have the heart to, a bfn would bring me down even further so I'm just going to wait for AF.
