How gutted to log on and find that someone had beaten me to the 1000 post and I couldn't update on the old thread.

Particularly as I got my BFP last night!!! I'd had two BFNs last week and was expecting AF to arrive while on holiday but it never came... Got more and more convinced that I was pg (feeling a bit sick too) as the weekend went on and literally tested within 10 mins of arriving home. Poor DH was still unloading the car as I greeted him at the door with my pink line!

Very excited although a bit apprehensive too. Really want to tell everyone but obviously don't want to this early so am REALLY pleased I have all you lovely ladies on MN to share with.

I was too excited to do more than skim the last few pages on the last thread but did see there had been several other BFPs so congratulations to all those too!

(Warning: Rant ahead)

AAAAARRRRGGHHHH! FFS! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY SHITTING LIFE, NOT TO MENTION MY ARSING CYCLE!?????!!!! Phew, and breathe....

CD20 (of a "usually" 30 day cycle) 7dpo according to FF and AF has arrived!! My LP is "usually" 12 days..... It looks like I ov-ed this month, which I am very happy about, but really?! If you look at my cycle, it does look like I could have ov-ed CD 7 (all of which is ridiculously early) but would at least mean a 10 day LP which is a bit more palatable I suppose. God, I don't know any more. (cycle here, sorry - you have to scroll down, cos it's last month's cycle now :().

AND the dog knocked my new (to me) Iphone I only got today on our hard wood floor and smashed the screen...... FUCKITY ARSE WANK.

Sorry, I don't want to bring everyone down, perhaps I need to offski for a bit; I'm starting to wonder if I pissed a gypsy off or something.... Xmas Sad

Rusulka · 02/12/2011 23:32

Oh Festie!
where's this gypsy, because I want to stay out of their way, lol.

AF arrived early for me too, though not as early as yours.

It does look like you could have ov'd on CD7. Just put it down to a wanky cycle and get it out of the way. New cycle, new attitude, new hopes, etc.

Don't give up, or we'll all have to give up too. We'll all be like the mayor in Hallowe'en Town, crying "we're all DOOMED!" Things will work out, life gets wrinkled sometimes and it takes a while to iron out the creases...

...and dogs are wankers anyway! :D

festiemum · 03/12/2011 07:31

Ha ha rusulka, you really made me laugh! :o

I think I've worked out what's happening, anyway. If you make my last af spotting, which it was really, you end up with a long cycle where I tried to ov twice before I finally ov-ed. The first time I was supposed to ov was around the time of my dad's death, which makes a lot of sense. I read somewhere that bad quality eggs can cause a short lp, so my egg was hanging about for a long time before it finally popped out!

Anyway, new cycle, new opportunity to SWI and get updiffed! Have a great weekend guys! Off to meet my mates at cribbs and shop, shop shop! Xmas Grin

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 03/12/2011 09:05

festie can I ask 2 questions? 1) has the bleeding got heavy and, ahem, if you don't mind me asking, what colour is it? 2) what did your temp do today? I know you don't chart during AF but I think you should (unless it's all a bit too messy)

Sorry you're having a shitty time of it and the sodding dog knocked over and broke your iPhone, I feel your pain in both the broken phone (mine is very precious) and the whacky cycles!!!!

Have a lovely weekend, drink some mulled wine and fucking fuck the fucking hag whore!! She needs a good kick in the tits!!!

Bluetinkerbell · 03/12/2011 15:49

I had another lower temperature today, but still no AF, don't have a clue what cycle is doing... I'm on CD41 today...

festiemum · 03/12/2011 23:25

Ha mooley, I like your style re the hag whore.

Yes, it's got heavy today, it's bright red, and I've more than filled a moon cup which is a bit heavier than usual perhaps.

Sorry, didn't temp cos I temp noo-noolally!

Anyway had a lovely day shopping with my mates so refuse to be downhearted! What you thinking, oh cycle guru?! Xmas Grin

blue, sorry your cycle's pissing you about. :(

Countmyblessings · 03/12/2011 23:53

Big Massive wave to you all < count sits in the corner >
i have tried not to big on here as much, was driving me a bit nuts!!!!!
im so sorry that it seems thing are not good fora good few - IM SORRY!!!!!
notfeelingchristmasrightnow.com( it may change if i poas and get a POSITIVE)
Festie my word wot is going on with you right now( move flippin dark cloud) sorry about you cycle and it weirdness,your Iphone - is it insured but that dog in the dog house(he didnt know, its not his fault)
Moowoo- im so sorry that you failed after all your hard work! ( i guess you have other things on your mind!
Rusulka- you DIY goddess!
Blue - wot is going on with you awol AF could it be???????? ohhhhhhhhhh i take it your holding off POAS!!!!!!
whooooop to all the ov-ing crew!

Bluetinkerbell · 04/12/2011 09:15

oh oh :) how does this look? might have had an implantation dip... temp has gone up again! (please stay up) :)
I have been feeling slightly sick the last few days, but still a bit Hmm trying not to symptom spot too much..

Moo sorry it didn't go well! :(

count yes I'm holding off poas so far :) although I will test on Wednesday so I don't have to lift too many boxes when moving house over the weekend Grin

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 04/12/2011 10:03

Blue looks immense!! Really hope this is it for you! I'd test in a few days, if it is implantation then that should give the hcg enough time to give a good result! Don't despair if it's a BFN though, hcg is a tricky little bugger!!

count I know what you mean about taking a back seat. I fear pretty soon I'll be the only one left on this flight!!

Just found out my friend, who also passed the assessment I failed, has just got engaged as well!! Although I'm very pleased for her, I just can't help feeling down at my own plight and I'm starting to wonder when the fecking universe will give me a break!!!

Off to buy our Xmas tree today and going to a concert tonight! Hopefully take my mind off things!

Also found out that my ultrasound is transvaginal - no wonder tongues have been wagging in the in laws house Xmas Hmm

festiemum · 04/12/2011 10:44

Hi count! The black cloud is moving I know it! Got myself a kit to mend my iPhone and had a great day yesterday which has really raised my spirits. What cycle day are you on?

blue the dip looks epic! I am keeping everything crossed that those temps stay up now! Xmas Smile

mool transvaginal scans are ok I had one when I had early bleeding when pg with dd1. Wagging tongues though, oh dear! You get on well with your in laws don't you?! Xmas Blush

There's no way you're gonna be the only one left on this flght, we won't leave you! Hope you are having a christmassy weekend everyone! Xx

MooleyWooleyShamaLamaDingDong · 04/12/2011 12:25

Yeah get on famously with them festie which is just as well!! Luckily my FiL hid the letter from my MiL which was very kind of him!!

festie I did not answer your question, I was asking because looking at your chart I thought maybe it was implantation but if it's full on flow then probably not!! Would you still be on course for an Xmas BFP this cycle?

festiemum · 04/12/2011 13:43

Ah bless your fil mool!

Yeah, I had dreams of implantation spotting too, but it didn't last long. Still, now I've made last month's af spotting (cos it only was a tiny breakthrough bleed really) my cycle makes a lot more sense!

If my cycle behaves this month Xmas Hmm, af would be due around 31st, so a bfp for the new year?! We shall see! Xmas Grin

Countmyblessings · 04/12/2011 16:25

Ohhhhhhh Blue- have all crossed for you!!!! im so excited for this could really be it for you! New beginnings hope all goes well with the move also, ohhhhhhh
MooWoo- it will work out for you, we all get our dash of goodness, be happy for her for your time will soon be here also!!! enjoy christmas tree buying!
Festieglad that black cloud is moving and that you fixed your iphone!!!Im on CD17 today and trying not to think about anything, its my bday month also so trying to stay positive!
my gosh the weekend has just flew pass, not happy with the monday am looming!!!! if only as the days went passed i had something special to look forwards to ahhhhhhhhh thats it not seeing my AF and seeing a positive on my stick!!!! whoop!

Maisie55 · 05/12/2011 07:27

Aggghhhh!! What the actual f*!!!?? So having had 38 day cycles since starting again, I then got the cbfm and was surprised to get peak at cd16 and 17 as thought that didn't make sense with long cycles, was then foolishly trying to decide if I could hold out til day 38 til I tested when Lo and behold af arrived in full flow last night with no warning, on cd26!!! So not only did we not manage it again despite dtd on the highs and peak days, it looks like cycle is all over the place again. Grrrr.

Rant over.

iloveberries · 05/12/2011 07:57

blue stop teasing us for gods sake and POAS!!!!!!! we need some flippin good news here!

maisie - sorry your cycle is messed up.... how long have you been charting? I read that sometimes women can have 2 long cycles, then a short one, or alternate long and short ones.... is there any pattern in yours?

CD15 here and got the peak on my CBFM this morning which i was not expecting for a couple of days.. DTD last night but going to have to see if i get get DH on it tonight and tomorrow night. I have had a foul month and could really do with some good news.

Still feeling utterly rubbish emotionally. I know it is work related and i only have a week or so left before breaking up so going to push through and if i am fine over the christmas period then i know it's not a permanent depression thing, just the work thing. I just hate that it can have such an effect on you. My mum pointed out (tactfully) that the stress may be affecting my ability to conceive as the last few months we have DTD spot on timing wise and got NOTHING :( Well, not sure what i can do apart from try and relax.

festie i know it's not funny but your posts were making me laugh, Poor you. You have such a fab sense of humour though.

ditto rusulka and the all dogs are wankers comment... pissing myself laughing.

mooley i'm sorry you didn't pass the test. what a pain in the arse. Bless you FIL with the letter thing, my FIL is lovely but MIL a total NIGHTMARE.....

count hello there!!! are you awaiting AF now then - i'll have to find the stats and see. FX for you m'love.

8am here and DS still in bed (why can't he do this on the weekend??!!)

Wishing you all a great week,

BIG WAVE of the spermy wand to you all, especially those approaching OV... that includes myself!!

Berries x

Bluetinkerbell · 05/12/2011 09:48

berries I did! It was negative though, but that doesn't mean anything to me until AF appears! Temperature stayed high today :) CD42. I will crack another test on Wednesday Thursday Friday! As we are moving house and I need to know before lifting heavy boxes!
Feel slightly sick...

Updated the stats above but they are really out of date now - I've shifted the past AF dates to the bottom but if you have a Dec AF date please stick it in. I've also deleted some names that haven't been updated in a couple of months - sorry if you still want to be in there - please stick yourself back in!!

Hi all

Hope the stats are ok and accurate! Did you all have good weekends? We got our xmas tree and did some decorating - hurrah! I'm already looking forward to this weekend now :)

Maisie - that's rubbish :( Fx for next month. Blue I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you - let's hope this is the first of many BFPs! Berries hope you start feeling better soon.

I'm on CD 20 (it feels like 100)... I had peak days on Fri and Sat then two bars yesterday and now down to one bar already - scary how fast fertility peaks and troughs!! Hope we've DTD enough this month - we didn't go crazy over high days but SWI a few times. We shall see. AF is due next Tues so having a short LP means just over a 1WW at least :)

Hi, have updated myself. This will be my last try before officially giving up. AF has now buggered off, so I now have a couple of weeks to relax and SWOI, before SWI starts.

Rusulka look on the bright side, that could be an amazing Christmas present!

Blue I have everything crossed for you, we are so overdue a BFP, I so hope this is it!

Maisie sorry to hear about your wonky cycles, how frustrating. If only our bodies would bloody co-operate life would be so much simpler!

Bluetinkerbell · 05/12/2011 13:47

oooh yes notinmykitchen me too! :) it would be such a positive end to 2011 as in June we lost our DD2 at 20 weeks pregnant! I miss her like crazy, specially with Christmas approaching and knowing that it would have been her first Christmas and she would have been spoiled with presents!

Countmyblessings · 05/12/2011 18:38

hi all thanks for the updated stats -
Maisie- sorry that your cycle has gone pear shaped, hope it sorts out real soon
Blue - have everything crossed for you, being on another thread with you i know what you have been through and how good getting a BFP will do for u xx
Rusulkafeel free to come and do my floors as well, also the doors and walls!
Notinyeh the hags gone, whoop with the soon to SWi!!!!!
loulou - ohhh 1 ww- thats great not long till u know, hope its a BFP!!!!!!
Ilove ohhhh your just behind me and my cycle(18), whoop on the SWi xx

im njoying all the festive plans all of a sudden getting the strange urge to sing carols - "little donkey, little donkey, carry Mary to Bethlehem"Xmas Grin

iloveberries · 05/12/2011 20:09

blue - i had no idea you'd been through that. Hugs x
I even more hope you get your BFP now...

count - a cycle buddy! When is your AF due now?
