I have a symptom. But it's tmi. And one I had when pg before. And I haven't had it past couple of cycles. Hmm oh sod it I'm POASing in the morning.

lolcbcb youre not allowed to be deflated until AF shows.

IBelieveInPink · 21/08/2012 23:58

frustrated a symptom?! A real one unlike all of mine?? you most definitely need to poas first thing!
lol don't be sad. Not over yet, and think of the big fat donut binge you are allowed to have if af does show :) im getting a little too obsessed with donuts aren't I

berri · 22/08/2012 02:07

Ooh frustrated that sounds promising, def poas tomorrow morning!

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 07:18

BF.....N Sad Hmm clearly a made up symptom then. Ugh what is my body doing to me?
Best put the pompoms, twirly battons and donuts away for me this month. I think i need to stock up on painkillers, if pg AF symptoms are predating AF by this much then AF is gonna hurt.

IBelieveInPink · 22/08/2012 07:27

Aw sorry for the bfn.
As expected, af arrive right on time this morning. Particularly annoying as I have a busy day today, and she brought a world of cramps with her.
Still, no matter. CD1!

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 07:54

can I eat more donuts now? im feeling AF will be here before the weekend
Roll on cd1, then I can stop over analysing my made up symptoms.

QuietNinjaObsessing · 22/08/2012 10:45

Hi can I join please? Feeling bit down today. 3rd month ttc number 2 so I know it's not been long. Had a dream this morning that I poas and it was positive. Did a test and it was bfn Sad I'm on cd 33 at the mo. no idea when I ovulated.
Took me so long to decide to try again as had horrendous pregnancy with ds and now we've decided I just wanna get on with it. Half dreading getting pregnant again if it's anything like last time but broodiness has taken over my brain. Just need someone to talk to if you don't mind me gate crashing thread?

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 11:14

Hi ninga no such thing as gate crashing. Welcome aboard.

Sarahbump1 · 22/08/2012 11:32

Hi ninja !!

Well I caved on the Internet cheapies this morning (day 7 PO ) and of course got a BFN!

Oh well .

QuietNinjaObsessing · 22/08/2012 11:43

Hi Wish I had a vague idea when I ovulated then I'd know if I was 'late' or not but cycles so far have been 33 days and then 26 and now I'm back on 33 days so got no clue wtf going on!
When are you due on Sarah?

Sarahbump1 · 22/08/2012 12:17

I'm due on a week today - cycles usually 23-26 days long .
Do you have an iPhone or iPod? Get a period tracker app . It helps to predict your fertile period and when your due on.

I've been doing temps and cm etc alongside mine and the tracker app has been pretty accurate so far!

Sarahbump1 · 22/08/2012 12:18

Mine alternate like yours - 23 one month then 26 the next - you must ovulate later on one cycle. Hence the difference.

QuietNinjaObsessing · 22/08/2012 12:29

Ok will do, thanks Sarah. I will get pregnant I will!

QuietNinjaObsessing · 22/08/2012 12:30

How do I know when I've ovulated? I tried opks and got no positive results at all

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 12:40

Marking space. Will catch up when I get home. Hi sarah 7dpo? You're as addicted bad as me. Grin

Lolcbcb · 22/08/2012 13:02

Hi girls. Sorry for bfn frustrated.
Berri sorry for af.
Well this is how my morning went. Woke up, found af, left for work feeling sorry for myself, stopped at Krispy Kreme and had a lemon meringue donut. Now feel slightly more cheerful.
On a serious note I am relieved wtf cycle is finished and I can start again.
Kinda like this thread though. Might stick around to see how u get on!

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 14:17

berri are you still holding that line?

mmm Krispy kremes stick around please [beg] keep me out of early cod. I'm refusing to immerse myself into September Fred until September.

ninja I'm not sure how you can be certain you've Ov-ed. I think Basal Temps are pretty reliable.
You've also got EWCM, saliva ferning, and OPKs, but these 3 don't work for everybody.
Dtd eod seems to be the safest option without obsessing.

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 14:41

I was going to say that my cramping has stopped. But I sat down and it's started again. Grrr it's so frustrating.

QuietNinjaObsessing · 22/08/2012 15:17

Thanks frustrated. Am trying not to obsess but it's hard. I'm
Sorry you're frustrated. I might try the opks again
See if I can get any idea when I might ovulate and dtd every other day and see what happens. No af yet but got very mild period pains so no doubt will start soon.

QuietNinjaObsessing · 22/08/2012 15:19

Oh and what's cod?

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 15:52

It's the dreaded Cave Of Doom (or Dispair), that shitty time when you get bfn/AF and mope around and get depressed and angry that you built yourself up for a bfp that didn't show well that's what I do anyway

QuietNinjaObsessing · 22/08/2012 15:55

Ah that sounds familiar! Think I went there this morning even though af not here yet. Stupid dream building my hopes up!

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 16:00

Me t

frustratedpants · 22/08/2012 16:01

Me too ninja

stickybeans · 22/08/2012 17:22

I think I've broken a record for bfn last week...I'm confused as to when my O day was because of the mmc. I was told to count the first day of bleeding as my LMP. That would put my O day at 4th-10th this month. Do you think the mc could have delayed it? Af is due the 24th and I got a bfn this morning......
