NOW BOARDING!

I'm due AF 11/1/12 so out of time for the previous bus so thought I'd start a new one! Well a space shuttle (why not!!!).

So I'll start:

ahhhhhpushit TTC#2 AF due 11/1

I'm currently on cd 15 so have been SWI like mad this week :)

Quick update DPO 12, AF due today BFN on internet cheapy :) but no sign of the witch :)

My temps have dropped a bit last couple of days but still well above my coverline also got some quite strong preg signs, nausea, sore v enlarged boobs, gassy and fatigued, might be signs of AF but not ones i've had before. Also i'm never late and (TMI) i have non of the usual pre AF CM and my cervix is high and closed.

I'm not getting excited yet just not counting myself out either. I was 15 dpo before i got a positive with DD. I'd love to get a BFP this cycle but we're only on our second so not feeling too desperate yet.

congratulation again pushit, u had me worried there for a while x

piggyboo · 09/01/2012 23:06

should say BFN :( not BFN :) on post above, doh!

missuswife · 09/01/2012 23:07

Hi ladies, well I've booked my first GP visit for next week, looking forward to getting looked over as this whole pregnancy business is totally freaking me out. I mean, the first day after the test I had cramping, which freaked me out until I googled it and was reassured it as normal. Then the next day I didn't feel anything and that made me worry that things had gone awry! I really want some kind of proper proof that I am definitely definitely up the duff, beyond a plain old HPT.

piggyboo · 09/01/2012 23:07

ooh forgot to say welcome cherry pie :)

missuswife · 09/01/2012 23:09

Sorry to hear about your BFN Piggy.

Chunkychicken · 09/01/2012 23:21

Sorry to hear no BFP yet Piggyboo.

I've been feeling sick all day but must still be the norovirus. Looked back at my last few cycles & saw a vague pattern (short, long, slightly less long, 'normal' 28/29) so given that the last 1 was a short one, I'm no doubt going to waste a test tomorrow & have an anxious extra long wait for AF to arrive. Ah well, who knows? Could be lucky I guess...Hmm

Chunkychicken · 09/01/2012 23:23

And hi cherrypie - is it your 4th DC or fourth cycle? Or both?!! :)

piggyboo · 09/01/2012 23:29

chicken, i've used 10 already and only DPO 12 Blush at least they're only cheapies. might buy a FRER or digi if no AF tomorrow.

ahhhhhpushit · 09/01/2012 23:38

piggy get yourself a superdrug ownbrand. By far the most sensitive you can get (10mu). Fingers crossed for you!

Chunkychicken · 10/01/2012 00:05

ahhhhhpushit you are clearly the expert on the tests!! As it happens, I have a superdrug own brand one left from a twin pack purchased back in Feb (after a near miss as it were, but which set off broodiness!!) so will have a go if they're good. Any other suggestions for the less experienced TTC-er??!!! It was SOOOOO much easier last time!! :)

displacedbrit · 10/01/2012 04:20

Hello all, am excited to be making my first post as I've been wanting to TTC for the past 18 months, hoping that joining MN will turn things around! DH is 4 yrs younger (32) and stalling so the waiting has not been on my part, but I'm determined that 2012 is the year :)

Am looking especially for tips for older newbies - I live in the US and everything I've read so far about my age group (36) in US articles is very pessimistic so trying not to get too stressed.

Panzee · 10/01/2012 07:13

I made the mistake of clothes shopping on Saturday when I was convinced I was pregnant. Now I'm just as convinced that I'm not, they all look really nasty! Time to take them back! :o

MadMonkeys · 10/01/2012 07:16

Err, I think I might have just got a BFP. It was either incredibly feint, or in my imagination. I just couldn't tell. But I'm out of tests now so I'll have to wait for the postman and hope he's got some tests for me to use tomorrow. This is a bit nail-biting!

PeppaTwig · 10/01/2012 07:58

Is too late to join in?
TTC #2. 1st cycle. AF due 23rd Jan.
Thinking BFP thoughts for all those testing this week!

PrimalChic · 10/01/2012 09:24

Did a FR test this morning and got a BFN. I don't know why I do it! AF isn't due until the weekend. Not going to test unless she's late not and going to have another strong coffee to steel the nerves. Hmph.

MadM that's looking promising, even if it's a very feint line, that means the hormone is there and the hormone is only there if you're up the duff!! :o

Chunkychicken · 10/01/2012 09:35

A very definite BFN for me this morning. Not that I expected any different by now, but heh... I guess it could still be a bit early but def not going to test until at least this time next week if AF hasn't arrived by then. Haven't got any tests anyway, so will have to consider my purchasing options for next month!!

MadMonkeys · 10/01/2012 09:37

PrimalChic, it's so hard not to test isn't it! Probably a good thing I haven't got any more tests as I'd probably have used them all by now! Thing is I'm really not sure whether there was a line there or not this morning. If there was, it was very feint. All the best for your next test - I bet you don't wait til the weekend!! Grin

DelphineDonkeygoesDoolally · 10/01/2012 10:17

Wow! Madmonkey, it's looking good - regular updates please!

Patience PrimalChic, patience!!!

Peppatwig looks like AF are going to be due around the same time, mine maybe a tad later.

I'm going mad and it's probably all in my head but I feel bloated and pressured in my lower stomach and abdomen. Nothing apart from that but still. Having said that it could just be ovulation as I got the stretchy CM yesterday and got a sharp pain on my right during the night. Also we've only managed SWI once since my last period (I know, I know...) and that was on sat so surely even if by some miracle it worked, I can't have signs already, surely????

I said I wouldn't obsess this time round. Fat chance!

celebmum · 10/01/2012 10:19

Hi all!

congratulations ahhhhh! Smile and hope all goes well at the gp missus! Smile

well AF is due here on 14th, felt decidedly pregnant last week (see earlier post for symptom spotting! tingly nips n everything!) Did a CB early test yesterday eve and got BFN Sad..... so now i feel decidedly UN-pregnant and am miserable today.. hmpf!

someone cheer me u with some BFP news please!

cakeladyc · 10/01/2012 10:35

Has anyone who has had a BFP had cramps anyway? or shooting pains?
I am 3 days late now, and although i can't test until the weekend, all the signs are looking good except i keep getting small quick shooting pains, or dull ache like period pains, but theres nothing else going on!

Anyone else had this and still got a BFP?

ahhhhhpushit · 10/01/2012 10:50

Yep I am getting EXACTLY that cake :) fingers crossed for you.

DH has really caught the crazy bug. Last night he said he was watching me carefully for tiny signs of change (which came out really creepy and stalkerish Confused ) and seemed quite happy that last night I didn't want sex (it's been a few days and I normally have a very high sex drive, I almost always want sex) and was feeling really hot (I'm always cold).

I'm only Ov+5 but he's got me half convinced it's happening despite the fact I'm really busy at the moment and if I wasn't a tiny bit run down then it'd be amazing. I really thought that I'd be the one obsessing over signs!

PrimalChic I also tested this morning, using superdrug own brand which, according to ahhhhhpushit is v sensitive, & got a BFN: AF due 14/1 so not sure if its too early or what, so feeling fed up.

panzee & celebmum I also had symptoms last week & now think I must have been mad as feel decidedly unpregnant!!!

It wasn't at all a surprise to get the BFN but feeling a bit disheartened by it, as we DTD loads around the right time (I mean, literally every other day between cycle day #7 & #20 or so, because we felt like it, rather than cos we HAD to iykwim) and it was so much easier with my DD - I didn't even know my cycle length or when the 'right time' was & think we DTD far fewer times than now. I can't understand how it hasn't worked, yet I've read all the stats about it so know how unlikely it is in reality!!! I will just have to wait for AF now I guess & hope next month is successful.

Chunkychicken · 10/01/2012 12:04

FirstTime did the same - as you can see above!! D'oh or what??!! Blush
