backwardpossom · 25/02/2012 20:10

Congrats sedgie!

A week to go... sigh

DesperateHousewife21 · 25/02/2012 21:36

Thanks winkly it's better now and we still managed to dtd!

I really wish I had a sort of x ray machine that would give me an insight into what's going on in there.

ellesabe · 25/02/2012 22:24

Well I have been in a FOUL mood all day - all tantrums, tears and tiaras - almost pmt like... Poor dh Sad

OP posts:
Windmill10 · 25/02/2012 22:31

Well 10 dpo and the AF pains are still here, but no actual AF....yet Sad

How's everyone else getting on? [Smile]

ellesabe · 25/02/2012 22:43

Bored and fed up Sad

OP posts:
backwardpossom · 25/02/2012 22:44

that

Winkly · 25/02/2012 22:52

Tired, forgetful, sobbing like a baby at the drop of a hat - ticking all the PMT boxes. Roll on Tuesday so AF can come and I can get my disappointment over with.

Elle, have some Wine - tis medicinal.

ImpatientOne · 25/02/2012 22:54

I am fed up too but that's because I have had a tiny bit of spotting the last 2 days so am pretty sure it's AF on the way :(

Does mean I have managed at least a 10 day LP though but this is a silver lining that's just not doing it for me at the moment! Hmm

DesperateHousewife21 · 26/02/2012 07:23

I felt like that yesterday too, it's quite early for PMT though.

Hope I feel more upbeat today, dh takes a beating (NOT literally!) when im in that kind of mood.

I wish I was the type of person who didn't care when I got preg and could go with the flow but I can't and the closer it gets to AF date the more obsessed I become.
We've dtd every other day for 2 weeks! There's no way I'm missing the window this month.

ellesabe · 26/02/2012 08:28

Mine definitely isn't pmt. I have ewcm at the mo so pretty sure I'm ov'ing. I'm on cd18 so will be interested to see if my whole cycle is long with ov being quite late.

OP posts:
ChairOfTheBored · 26/02/2012 09:05

Arg!

Where the jeff is AF? Every single peed on stick gives a BFN, so why is she so reluctant to appear. She's just trying to bg up her own role in proceedings am sure.

Grrr.

pipsicles · 26/02/2012 09:27

Sedgie, congratulations!!! How do you feel about sharing your pg with your SIL? I shared my first with a friend - due dates were one day apart and it was brilliant!

Welcome Winkly!

I'm sorry to hear so many of us are feeling down, but loads of us are on very similar dpos, and we are just getting to that really difficult bit where we know that it is probably still too early to test, and all our symptoms could be AF, but could not Confused

I was feeling certain that AF will be coming this week yesterday, but then had a temperature spike this morning, like Sedgie, which I had with my first pg too... Now to see if it lasts!

DesperateHousewife21 · 26/02/2012 10:05

Ive been feeling 'heavy' and tbh not preg.

If it doesnt happen this month Im going to try really hard to chill out yeah right

chairofthebored how many days late are you now?

ellesabe Im on cd19 today, CM is still creamy though, it has been the whole way through so I either havent OV or thats just what mine is like even during OV, hoping its the latter!
If you OV late does that mean AF is due later?

TheDetective · 26/02/2012 11:15

I didn't realise everyone else had sloped off the other thread! Whoops! I got a faint BFP on the 24th, 10dpo (at least that is when I think I ov'd). That was CD22. Since coming off the pill I've had 26 day cycles - getting faint bfp's on CD 25 the last 2 months before AF arrived on CD26. So wasn't holding out much hope as the faint bfp was even earlier this time at CD22.

However, 36 hours later I did a clear blue digital as they were on offer in Asda! I got a BFP!! 1-2 weeks!!!!

I'd like to think its for real this time, but you never know. I tested again with a cheapy one and got a very faint positive, but this one is 100iu of HCG, so I'm taking that as a positive sign. pardon the pun I will do another tomorrow, but a 50iu as it should be a stronger BFP.

So I am 3 weeks 3 days according to LMP, but I think I am 12DPO now.

By the way, for the symptom spotters! I have no symptoms at all - I did the previous 2 months, with amazingly sore boobs after ovulation til the day I came on. I don't normally get sore boobs any time of the month. I suspect I've got 2 weeks 1 day until the sickness starts.

Oh, and I had no signs I had ov'd either. I did use opks but I didn't get a positive, but I did start using them a bit late in the cycle at CD12 which is actually when I think I ov'd. I had no increase in libido, no change in CM, if anything it became 'fertile at CD19! DP said I normally change in 'smell' when I ovulate, and become 'irresistible' to him, but that didn't happen this month...

Bloody strange I tell ya! I was all ready to count this (our 3rd cycle) out!

BFP YEAH BABY!!

backwardpossom · 26/02/2012 11:20

6 days until I test... I'm cracking up. I keep symptom spotting, but guess it's all psychosomatic. My boobs are a bit sore in the evening, I've got excess cm, (sorry for tmi!), excess saliva and feel a bit spaced out... Hmm

I could probably test before Saturday, but don't want to get a negative by testing too early (as opposed to a negative by testing when/if AF is late) as I'll still end up testing on the Sat anyway if AF hasn't reared her ugly head.

DesperateHousewife21 · 26/02/2012 11:37

Wow thedetective that's a really early BFP! Congratulations!!

I'm feeling v crampy and stabby today. Really hoping its a good sign. FX

Winkly · 26/02/2012 11:58

Congratulations thedetective

dh Fx for you.

possum I know how you feel. I could test now but don't want to see that BFN. I'm symptom spotting like a crazy lady. This is how bad I am - I've had a really sore wrist for 2 days and no idea why. Fine, but this week there's been a thread from a lady whose wrist going sore was a very early symptom for her, and she got a BFP. Obviously I've just slept on mine or something but...

Some other things as well. Roll on Tuesday.

TheDetective · 26/02/2012 12:06

DP has been despatched to Tesco for more tests :D Anyone know the sensitivity of the tesco own brand tests?

Thanks ladies! Muchos excitement in the detective household!
