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 :)

DelphineDonkeygoesDoolally · 23/01/2012 09:38

Morning!

My goodness, you don't go on mumsnet for a few days and everything changes!

Congrats to Peppa and Winnie!

Sorry to runningkate, howiwonder, optimum, chairofthebored and kellbells

And thanks to ahhpushit for keeping up with the stats!

I'm 14 DPO, CD29. No sign of anything. I was utterly exhausted over the weekend but I think it's just because it's been manic.

I'm wishful but not hopeful IYKWIM. I don't want to test because I fear I'll get a BFN and then my hopes will have no reason to be really. To be continued...

Thereisamumthatnevergoesout · 23/01/2012 09:57

Sorry about af kelsbells. Mine due today but nothing as yet. Keeping a low profile so she doesn't find me!

Fully prepared for af appearing because like delphine, no symptoms to report except usual premenstrual ones.

Off to watch call the midwife on iplayer now.

Hope the Tuesday testing club are all still af-less!

BlueX · 23/01/2012 11:12

No AF yet and still no symptoms either, trying very hard not to get hopes up and very pleased with myself for not testing this morning!

Thereis it isn't over until AF arrives so fingers crossed for a BFP tomorrow morning!

I'm actually getting quite frustrated now as I am usually so regular and this month I'm 5 days late with only BFNs whenever I've tested. I'm just would like to know either way!

Sorry kelbells, fingers crossed for next month!

Thereisamumthatnevergoesout · 23/01/2012 11:47

Bluex Well done for not testing this morning! I guess I should be feeling pleased with myself for resisting poas this morning and sunday morning. My self-congratulations are being hampered by the thoughts that are currently running through my head.

Namely, if I hold off weeing for 4 hours, it apparently replicates the concentration of hcg that you would get in fmu. In which case, if I don't wee before 3pm, I could poas if my resolve failed me.

Hmm

OR, I could just wait till tomorrow and stop being such a miss impatient pants.

I cannot imagine how annoying being 5 days late AND no bfp must be. So confusing. The thing is, if I don't get AF today it will get my little hopes up tomorrow.

Need to keep myself occupied today methinks or I will obsess.

busylady I got cramps the cycles I got BFP with both my pregnancies. Could be a good sign? FX for you! This is the reason I don't except BFP this month, no cramping for me.

Pipbin · 23/01/2012 12:48

Still no AF for me, and I don't feel periody iykwim.

I'm a good girl and didn't test this morning.

I've got some First Response on order from Amazon which have just dispatched. If I'm feeling extra strong I will wait until they come rather than use the CBD I've got in the cupboard.
That said, I do have some cheap OPKs.

Thereisamumthatnevergoesout · 23/01/2012 12:57

Well pipbin you have been a good girl.

As for me, I have been a disgracefully bad girl. I gave in and tested a bit ago. Bfn Angry

I think I can safely say af is on way now. At least it takes the uncertainty away. Will stay on here until af comes for the sake of completeness though. Dying to hear about any other bfps!

Fx for everyone!

Grin
BlueX · 23/01/2012 13:53

Thanks thereis and sorry to hear about BFN but there is no AF yet either...

Well done pipbin. Hopefully you will get the tests quicklyso that you can test soon!

Just out of curiosity what pregnancy tests does everyone use/recommend? I've only been using the cheapy poundstore ones as I knew I would be testing so often (that I didn't want to spend a small fortune on pregnancy tests!). Could that in any way influence the results? Hmm

TuesdayNightClub · 23/01/2012 18:03

I have done an updated list below, please amend if I have missed people off!

AF arrived for me this morning, to be honest I'm pretty devastated as she was a week late and I really thought I was going to get a late BFP. I really hope this month's 38 day cycle is a once-off...

WeeSooty · 23/01/2012 20:03

Hey everyone,

Apologies for not posting sooner!

Firstly, woohoo!!! Congratulations to everyone who got their BFP!!! Wow! Didn?t expect so many!

And a big Wine to all those who didn?t get lucky Sad

Well I am clueless as to what my cycle is doing. I?ve been charting temps as I feel the need to have some bit of control in my life and according to fertility friend I ovulated on the 9th January, cycle day 20 which would mean I?m due my period around tomorrow. I?ve done a test, BFN and my temperature has considerably dipped so I?m pretty sure I?m out. Sad

I?m not sure if I will join the October/November Superbus, I have become pretty obsessive with TTC and this is only our first try. I?m devastated I haven?t got pregnant first time even though I know so few people do. I like charting my temp as it gives me a bit of control so I will keep doing that, my DH has a fairly low sex drive so I like to know when I should be plying him with alcohol and taking advantage! Blush

I?ll be lurking about and will just see what happens. Good luck everyone still waiting!

mrsmellow · 23/01/2012 20:36

So, lots of testers tomorrow... fingers crossed for you all!

The girl who works for me told me she is pregnant today - 7 weeks so super early and she is sensibly guardedly optimistic. She has been trying for about 3 years, has had clomid on a number of occasions, has PCOS, lost a few stone in weight, had clomid plus something to boost it unsuccessfully before Christmas and was having a cycle break before trying it again - and sore boobs, AF 2 weeks late (the resilience for not testing sooner!) and POAS this morning for bfp. Grin I think I'm actually happier for her than I would be if I got a bfp, she has wanted this for so long and has been so patient and lovely about it. I just really really really hope it sticks and she gets a baby in September/Oct...
I know some people hate to hear of other womens bfp, but for me it makes me feel like it could happen for anyone. [fingers crossed emoticon]

I'm a bit weepy and emotional today - I'd like to think it was a symptom, but sadly think more likely to be the beginning of AF! Will check in to see what happens tomorrow morning Smile

cherrypiew3 · 23/01/2012 22:51

Sorry to all you ladies that have had AF turn up.

To all you ladies that are testing tomorrow I wish you lots of luck and hope to log on to lots more BFP.

Not sure what to make of today but I have had stomach cramps all day and in my back also feel really bloated. Not sure what's going on this month with my cycle. Anybody else had anything like this?

Panzee · 23/01/2012 23:24

Different month I know, but I'm comfortable here! On CD 10 or 11 and back on the horse, so to speak! Grin

Angelico · 23/01/2012 23:51

Hello all! Will jump on board here - 2nd month trying, using CBFM, did Superdrug test tonight 10 days post ov and got a very faint pink line. Might be an evap... Anyone else used the Superdrug tests?

DelphineDonkeygoesDoolally · 24/01/2012 05:48

Awww! What a nice story *Mrsmellow! I'm happy for her too.

Sorry about AF Tuesdaynightclub

Sounds promisingAngelico, I'm expecting a confirmation of a BFP later on.

Still nothing for me at CD30 and DPO15. Boobs a bit sore but not getting my hopes up. I've decided not to test before saturday as I can't bear being disappointed (which would be ridiculous anyway since it's our first month of trying). I'm convinced AF will get me before sat anyway, I did waver a bit yesterday but last month my cycle was 34 so it would be silly to test now.

Anyway, bring on today's tests and good luck!

Pipbin · 24/01/2012 07:18

Balls. AF got me first thing.
Good luck to the rest of the ladies testing this morning.

Cejay8 · 24/01/2012 09:32

I'm out - AF appeared bang on schedule yesterday Sad. See some of you on the next shuttle!

BlueX · 24/01/2012 09:42

Sorry about AF Pipbin and Tuedaynightclub.

I tested this morning as planned and it was a BFN. I thought I could see the faintest of faint lines but I think that was just me really wanting to see something.

Anyway I am now so confused about my cycle as I am on CD34 and I usually have a regular 28 day cycle which has never been irregular. If AF hasn't arrived by Friday I will test again now and take it from there.

Fingers crossed for everyone else testing today. :)

BlueX · 24/01/2012 09:43

Sorry about AF Cejay :(

Pipbin · 24/01/2012 10:38

Do you know when ov was Bluex?
From what I understand the time from day one to ov can vary but ov to AF never changes by more than a day.

BlueX · 24/01/2012 11:08

I actually don't know when exactly I ovulated (as I don't temp or use ovulation tests) but according to the ovulation calculators/calendars, I ovulated anytime between 3rd and 7th Jan.

I suppose I should just give it some more time. I don't want to wait anymore Angry!!!

Pipbin · 24/01/2012 12:28

What about any of our other Tuesday testers?

Thereisamumthatnevergoesout · 24/01/2012 13:42

Well my af appeared this morning while I was at friend's for coffee. Slightly annoyed but not very sad. It was a long shot after only swi once.

Not going to brood. The friend whose house I was at has 2 dd aged 4 and 6. Her dh died 2.5 years ago Sad In comparison to having to bring up 2 dds while grieving for dh, waiting another month or three for bfp doesn't seem like such a hardship.

Love mrsmellow's story about her colleague. Smile

Sorry to pipbin and all others with af. Maybe we will all have valentines babies?!

Just hope dh plays along with the ttcing. It's taken me 2 years to get as far as this with him. Worried he might regress.

Thereisamumthatnevergoesout · 24/01/2012 13:44

Fx for delphine, blue and Angelico!

ChairOfTheBored · 24/01/2012 15:58

Well, despite previous pessimism AF due today, and no sign as yet.

Only Cycle 1, so not too optimistic about our chances though. Will wait until Friday before getting any more excited/testing...
