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.

Good luck Pipbin, really hope it is imlantation.... too early for AF anyway.

Twinks sorry to hear the 'proper' test also delivered a BFN. It is odd that your AF still hasn't arrived. I empathise totally that it is disheartening. The not knowing gets you down after a while.

The difference I've noticed with the Vit B is the increase in CM. I am only on CD8 and normally wouldn't have anything at this stage, but there is much more than usual... sorry tmi.

There are a few of us now ready to start the sleigh ride and ttc a Christmas baby (call it the late Dec / early Jan flight)... maybe we should enter our updated stats, here are mine:

LimeLeafLizard TTC#4, Cycle 2(4), AF due 10th April

I found that Lime almost indecent amounts of EWCM.

I agree that 6dpo is too early for AF, however, last month I had spotting from 6dpo.
That said, it was there when I went to the loo first thing and nothing after that. Normally my spotting goes on continuously.

My af was due today but nothing did a cb digital test on monday which was bfn went a bit crazy and ripped it apart and there were 2 lines on the test strip inside don't think that means anything though.Did another test yesterday that too was bfn. Then decided for the heck of it to do an ovulation strip test and that was positive don't know what my bodies up to!!!

Sorry but a CBD will always have two lines inside so I understand. And for an opk to be positive for pregnancy the test line has to be darker than the control

I'm back from glugging all the gin and reclining in first class.

mrstwinks I had a 47 day cycle in February, my longest cycle ever and drove me nuts, couldn't work out where the hell AF was but she did turn up like the cowbag she is eventually. Bit of a cruel prank by mother nature. Hope it's not the same for you.

Good idea limeleaf, my stats are TTC # 2, cycle 6, AF due 18th ish April ( very random cycles so best guess).

Going to look into this vitamin b thing as I only seem to get one day or less of EWCM these days so thanks for the info chaps. I've cracked open my clearblue fertility monitor now too.

asianbabe agree with pipbin. Frustrating I bet.

How are all the other ladies getting on?

Crazy you can get vitamin b6 from Holland and Barratt for next to no money. here

I have read that you need to take it with a vitamin b complex for your body to absorb it though.
Be aware that it makes your pee smell though!!

Thanks pipbin, appreciate that Wine

FrenchLimeBlossom · 21/03/2012 21:07

Well done to all the BFPs - really pleased for you all Smile

On the other hand I tested Monday, BFN, then AF arrived today. Disappointing but it does mean I can enjoy a hearty glass of Wine tonight.

I'll be buying a ticket for the next flight I think but safe travels to those in first class, hope the rest of you ladies get an upgrade and everyone else who got bumped like me, looking forward to flying together next month Wink

was Pickled our last BFP?

There is still plenty of space in the BFP section.

Crazytictac · 21/03/2012 22:15

I've just created a Santa sleigh thread ladies. I still like it here too so am gonna keep an eye on the BFPs coming in.

combatqueen · 21/03/2012 22:23

Good one crazy, I'm going to join the sleigh ride right now (although still having the "Christmas baby" debate with dh) hoping I can talk him round by the time I'm due to ovulate.

Pipbin · 21/03/2012 22:28

Hurrah for Crazy. In the nicest way I hope not to be on the flight.

I don't think I'm going to try too hard next cycle if this one fails. We will be in American around OV time so I don't think I'm going to bother to temp.

Mine Twinks are not, however they are normally huge and tender by this point.

LimeLeafLizard · 21/03/2012 23:21

Sorry to hear AF arrived, French. Come join us on the sleigh for to commiserate with a mulled Wine.

Pipbin I hope you don't join us either, but will miss you if you don't! if that makes sense. I think Pickled was the last bfp and that seems ages ago already.

PickledHegg · 22/03/2012 07:22

Good Luck Pipbin and MrsTwinks I have to say it is looking very promising for both of you so fingers crossed :)

Good luck to asianbabe too, it isn't over until she arrives :)

Crazy I've heard that CB Fertility Monitor is supposed to be fantastic (as in first month BFP fantastic) :)

combat and limeleaf all the best for your christmas babies, fingers crossed for you :)

PrimalChic · 22/03/2012 07:53

Hmmm temp dropped again this morning, not looking promising. Have a couple of pre-AF spots, achy boobs and mild cramps. POAS just in case and bfn. Looks like I'm drinking at that wedding tomorrow!!

Good luck MrsT and Pipbin! We need more bfps!!

PrimalChic · 22/03/2012 08:06

OMG

OMG

OMG!!??!

I looked at the test after cleaning my teeth... There's a very feint line. It's there though. OMG. I just put my lenses in the wrong way around. Shock

asianbabe · 22/03/2012 09:05

Looks like I'm off this flight af turned up 2am in the morning!!! I'm off to catch the next flight good luck to those still testing

asianbabe · 22/03/2012 09:06

Congrats primal Grin

MrsTwinks · 22/03/2012 09:22

Congrats primal

(I do now officially hate you thou lol, bfn here again, dh no longer cares he's loving the Jordan-esk boobsWink )

PrimalChic · 22/03/2012 09:31

It's not for certain, it was very very light but definitely pink. Going to test again tonight.

Came out of bathroom to see cat had done a dirty protest as she's annoyed about being kept in all day. Cleaning up poo, let's hope it's something I should be getting used to!

It's looking good for you MrsT, how many dpo are you?

TuesdayNightClub · 22/03/2012 09:52

Oh sounds very promising primal can you post a pic for the jury?

Sorry to hear about AF arriving french and asian (sounds like I'm listing cuisines!)

I'm 7dpo, had bad cramps during the night which I have experienced in previous months too. Not terribly hopeful.

Holland and Barrett have buy one get one half price at the moment as well for any B6ers.

Good luck Mrs T as well hopefully you will get an answer one way or the other soon!! I wouldn't mind some Jordan boobs! Smile

LimeLeafLizard · 22/03/2012 09:55

asianbabe come and join us on the Sleigh ride...

Primal sounds hopeful! You're not supposed to go near cat poo when pg though because of the bugs you can catch from it... get DH to clean up after her from now on! My cats loved me when I was pg - the male one used to sit on me all the time.

MrsTwinks Your body is keeping us all on tenterhooks... your DH might be loving the boobs but I want an answer!
