Welcome aboard ladies.
Please be seated, you may undo your seatbelts as soon as you see the SWI sign light up.

I'll be coming round with cake, biscuits and wine.

Come on girls, we can do it this month.

Heads held high and legs akimbo, off we go.

Pipbin I managed to look at your chart (it is def. my PC playing up).

It looks to me like you ovulated on your day 21 - i.e. last Weds, the day after your +OPK and two days before your temp rise. That would make any spotting today quite early to be implantation spotting, but not impossible. I agree with Primal that reverse psycology could be the way to go with this!

Primal so sorry to hear about your friends, hope it works for them this time. It does put the whole thing in perspective and make me count my blessings...

TuesdayNightClub · 19/03/2012 19:16

Good luck to those testing soon, lots of positive signs! Still lots of seats in the BFP section, we better get them filled up!

I'm dpo3 so still a way to go. Have a day off work next Monday so will try to hold out till then, that will be 10dpo and I have a short luteal cycle so will be the day before AF is due.

primal friends of ours just had a stillbirth at 22 weeks, made me re-evaluate things a bit. Nature has a funny way of behaving sometimes, very difficult to understand sometimes.

LimeLeafLizard · 19/03/2012 21:29

Oh Tuesday how sad, I wonder if we know the same friends because I have just heard the exact same news this evening. Sad It was her first baby although he already has children. My heart goes out to them.

PrimalChic · 19/03/2012 23:19

Oh Tuesday and Lime, that's awful. I can't imagine what they'll be going through. :(

My IVF friend is doing well, has been able to go home rather than spend a few days in hospital like the last few times. I feel so tactless when I tell her about my frustrations 2 months into TTC when they're going through so much. she really is remarkably robust though, I'd be broken by now, it's just so emotionally draining for both of them. Everything crossed for her!

And everything crossed for those who are expecting an AF visit!

MrsTwinks · 20/03/2012 10:55

Still waiting here. Test did have what looked to be a line this am but I left it 5 more minutes and it disappeared. But something funny is going on down there

PrimalChic · 20/03/2012 11:18

Ooh try again tonight MrsT! Sounds very promising!

Also took a test as my temp has been high for 2 days but got a BFN. Silly really as I'm only 9dpo but I have an addiction to POAS!

CandyPop · 20/03/2012 13:31

congrats pickled!!!!

Mrstwinks it does sound promising. Maybe try again tomorrow morning when the hormones are more concentrated. Fingers crossed for you!!

primalchic the obsession of POAS does not end when you get your BFP!!! i peed on another 2 since.

Had a bit of a drama last night and ended up in a&e for a early scan, however pleased to report that little Sac is ok. Will have another next friday to double check. I didnt POAS yesterday as they confirmed it for me in hospital BUT i might do another one end of this week :) ....(ahhhh maybe 2mo!)

good luck to everyone else!!

Rudawakening · 20/03/2012 13:40

Well looks like AF has started, no warning shots and a day early but 15 days from when I had EWCM so looks like I ov'd the day after EWCM and that LP is 13-14 days which is good news.

Oh well onto the Santa sleigh for me.

At least I don't have to worry about telling my brand new boss I'm pg straight after signing the contract.

Chunkychicken · 20/03/2012 13:43

That sucks Ruda but some positives there (along with the wine, choc, full caf coffee etc.) and a good chance at a nice Christmas pressie :)

Rudawakening · 20/03/2012 13:45

Good luck to those still waiting.

Sounds promising MrsT let us know the outcome.

primal I was getting addicted to POAS I got 25 Internet cheapie pg tests on thursday last week and have -none- a few left Grin hence the talking to I gave myself.

LimeLeafLizard · 20/03/2012 13:49

Sorry to hear AF has arrived, Rudawakening, but look forward to your company on the sleigh. And sounds like your cycle is right, too.

Twinks hope you are pg... are you still enjoying your DH's attention on this subject?!!

Candy sorry to hear about your drama but glad to hear all is well. I had an early scan last time and it is very reassuring indeed to see the pg with your own eyes.

Primal your POAS addiction is quite serious if you are at it only 9dpo Smile. It does become addictive. Even though AF has been and gone I still find myself tempted in case I am one of those 'I didn't know I was pregnant' cases. In reality though it will be back to SWI... although DH isnt' around much this week so not sure how we will fit it in (if you pardon the expression!).

LimeLeafLizard · 20/03/2012 13:50

Good to see you around still Chunky, how are you feeling?

Chunkychicken · 20/03/2012 14:05

Hey Lime I'm good, although exhausted (forgot how bad it was!!) but seeing every symptom as a good sign!! Enjoy keeping up to date with all the ladies on here - I felt really supported by everyone, plus want to see whether the 'flight' is statistically lucky Wink

PrimalChic · 20/03/2012 14:06

I went through 10 tests last month! The boob-prodding symptom spotting has begun. They've been sensitive for a few days but only when I give them a good poke. I'm probably bruised from all the poking and that's why they're now sore!

Lime fit it in - just laughed out loud, it's a good job I'm wfh today!

Hmm lots of work to do but between symptom spotting, baby-googling and flicking through the F+B paint samples cards, I'm not getting much done. From my emails I sound busy which is all that really matters isn't it?! (And what would be wrong with a pink kitchen?!)

MrsTwinks · 20/03/2012 14:29

Dh has announced he's buying a "proper" test on his way home as annoyed now lol. He insisted on dipping the stick this morning which was cute/creepy Hmm

3/4 days late now and while not sore my boobs no longer really fit in my bra so who knows Grin come on bfp!!

Sticklebricksuk · 20/03/2012 14:56

Lime you made me laugh too with your 'fitting it in'!

Primal and you did as well with your boob poking!

Well according to my period app tracker thing I'm due on tomorrow but I haven't got a single one of the normal AF is coming type signs, and I don't know what to think about that. No cramping, no bloating, and none of the spots I normally get a couple of days before AF comes to town. After last months mega 38 day cycle (normally around 26 days) my app has taken an average I think as tomorrow will be day 29. Am holding off POAS til Saturday morning. Am spending Saturday with my bestest girlfriends and their two little daughters, so it would be amazing to know I'd be joining their gang if I got a BFP that morning. They are the only 2 people in RL that know we are TTC (couldn't handle the daily phone calls from my Mum if she knew so haven't told her!), so I would tell them, as they're amazing and I know that I'd need them if anything were to go wrong iykwim.

Am full of cold atm, so think the achey legs, runny nose and headaches are to do with that rather than symptoms sadly, but am still cautiously optimistic for reasons unknown. Hmm

Well the spotting now is the thin watery brown and only after I go running or have a bowel movement. I don't know what to make of that.

Oddly, my boobs aren't sore, which they usually are for this point in my cycle.

OP posts:
LimeLeafLizard · 20/03/2012 16:30

Twinks not sure if that is touching or a bit eeeww about DH wanting to dip the stick himself. (oops that is another innuendo... I am not a 'Carry on' Actress I promise!) Well I really hope you get a BFP tonight with the 'proper' test!!

Fingers crossed for you too Stickle... we need to fill the statistically empty BFP seats on this flight.

Pipbin you must be into the right timeframe for implantation now, fingers crossed that is what it is.

Getting excited for all of you...

Meanwhile I have been taking Vit B for the last few days and am already noticing a difference only 7 days into my cycle.

What difference have you noticed Lime? I've been taking it this month too.

TuesdayNightClub · 20/03/2012 20:48

Lots of lovely positive signs from everyone! I have also started boob-prodding... Feeling strong this month and going to hold off POAS till monday who am I kidding

Pipbin · 20/03/2012 22:21

Well I'm bored of waiting now.
The TWW must be the longest two weeks in the world.

I'm going to test Sunday if AF hasn't shown before. It's my mum's 60th so it would be lovely then.

Evening ladies

Have been away for a few days getting the house ready for the move on Friday.

Congratulations to anyone that got a BFP over the last few days.

Rudawakening sorry AF got you.

MrsTwinks hope you get a BFP on that proper test.

Pipbin fingers crossed this is going to be your month.

Cd15 for me today and I should be ovulating round about now I have no idea what is going on with my body anymore.Sad Have dtd a few times over the weekend DH back in work so that's it for us until the end of the week by that time I will be into the 2ww so fingers crossed we have done enough.

Pipbin · 20/03/2012 22:38

Also, a bit of research shows that lots of women get spotting after the run, so I'm not going to let it worry me too much.

Woke up to proper spotting. Brown with a streak of red.
My only hope is that it's implantation as I'm 6dpo

OP posts:
MrsTwinks · 21/03/2012 07:54

Good luck Pipbin, really hope it is.

Dh came home with a clearblue, but still Bfn here, and no still no af to be found. Anyone else had this and gotten a bfp in the end? All the poas and getting nothing but still being late is very disheartening in its way Sad
