Congrats Ella that is fantastic news!!!! first bfp, lets have lots more in the coming weeks!!

OveranxiousUnderated · 01/10/2012 09:44

Please can I join?

I am due on around Monday 8th October, planning to start testing on Friday 5th...this is my first cycle after a MC in August at 6 weeks. I cannot stop symptom spotting and it is driving me mad, I cannot think of anything else!! Just want to fast forward a week.

[TTC for Dc2]

TakingTheStairs · 01/10/2012 09:49

Hi overanxious, Welcome to the bus!

chookford, looks like we'll be testing together. I've no idea when my BFP would be due as this is cycle 1 for me, so I've changed my date to 5th - 8th Oct so as to be 12-14 dpo. Does that sound right? Have you got any symptoms yet? I've started to notice some changes over the weekend but I have no idea if they're due to AF being due or a BFP being due. I have my fx for the latter!

Hi overanxious welcome to the bus... we have lots of cake so hope your hungry!

Taking ok we can hold hands! no I am not really having any symptoms, so I am really beginning to think that I may be pushed over to Nov Sad but I didnt have anything with my dd so I guess I could be lucky again fx! what are your symptoms?! I will cross eveything its a bfp for you!!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 01/10/2012 10:02

Happy Monday everyone Smile I'm abstaining from cake this week and chowing down on pink grapefruits. Oh yes. In an attempt to increase ewcm and see if it helps we'll be devouring 10 grapefruits over the next 10 days. Nom nom. Good job I already like them innit. Has anyone else done this/doing this this cycle?

TakingTheStairs · 01/10/2012 10:13

Hi purple, no I hadn't heard that about grapefruits.. how interesting!

chookford, I'm quite emotional and mood swingy which could be attributed to AF of course but my nipples have gotten noticeably bigger, again could be attributed to AF so I haven't a clue what's going on. Confused

Anyone for a flapjack and a Brew?

OP posts:
VioletCherry · 01/10/2012 10:24

Blimey! I've missed a lot of news on here over the weekend. Big Congratulations to Ella0 great news and hopefully a good sign for the month.
Haven't been on for a few of days as feeling rotten with the flu (when does it become flu and not just a cold? Smile) When my DH gets a sniffle its always seems to be flu! Also sporting a rather attractive outbreak of cold sores so have taken to hibernation until the "elephant lady" stage passses. Off work today as combined with some serious toddler teething over the weekend I'm looking and feeling a bit of a state. On the plus side during my self inficted house arrest this morning I've managed to get a massive pile of ironing finished. Hopefully back on form tomorrow.
Not holding out much hope over this months 2WW haven't POAS yet but not feeling very positive.

TakingTheStairs · 01/10/2012 10:26

Awviolet I hope you feel better soon. Even with feeling rubbish it must be quite satisfying to get that pile of ironing sorted.
Fx for a BFP for you. When are you planning to POAS?

OP posts:
chookford · 01/10/2012 10:37

Purple I havent heard of that either, but it is very interesting!! May have a look into that!

Taking well the signs sound promising... lets be positive and think of them as bfp syptoms! and god yes would love a flapjack and a Brew thanks!

Violet sorry to hear about the flu... it sucks! hope you feel better soon and you get your bfp in the next few days that will make everything better.. coldsores and all!! Grin

VioletCherry · 01/10/2012 10:39

If a get a chance to POAS tomorrow morning but with the usual out the door "free-for-all" might not get a chance. So wed morning for sure if AF doesn't pay a visit.
Just thinking though with being under the weather might mean AF a little late anyway...will have to remember to curb any over excitement at her absence.

VioletCherry · 01/10/2012 10:52

through sheer impatience was going to POAS on Sun morn when I got up. Then I remembered that I had been up so many times through the night that the FMU was a non starter.
The out of the house morning routine took over today. Luckily I have found that if I can get through the first 30mins in the morning without POAS it doesn't really cross my mind until the next day.

weechops · 01/10/2012 10:56

I used my last frer this morning and got another bfn at 12dpo. I can feel af on the way for sure so I think I will be changing at the station and hopping on board the next bus :(

chookford · 01/10/2012 11:13

oh Weechops I really hope it is just a shy bfp! I will keep everything crossed that this is the case....

LexiLoganberry · 01/10/2012 11:28

Congratulations Ella0 Grin hoping it's a sign of things to come for the rest of us.

pocopearl · 01/10/2012 11:39

Hi everyone, Just wanted to say thank you to everyone (& those from the sept thread) for your reassurance and everything, with my BFN & no AF issues. was at CD49/33 today (31dpo). Went to the doctors after following a couple of peoples good advice, and was sat in the waiting room and guess who turned up... none other than the infamous AF herself. Talk about timing! Spoke to the doctor and he said there was no sign that it was anything other than just AF turning up late and my possible worrying only delayed her. So I am out for Oct but very much relieved it was nothing more serious. So a huge big thank you to everyone for not letting me go mad with worry :)

FX that we have loads more BFPs this month!!!

chookford · 01/10/2012 11:44

Poco so sorry to hear that you are out for Oct but very relieved to hear that everything is ok! Hope you get your bfp next month!

wavesandsmiles · 01/10/2012 12:15

Congrats ella and fingers remain firmly crossed for more BFPs over the next few days. I am still off tea, and feeling sick and super tired (managed to fall asleep yesterday for 5 hours!) and trying not to symptom spot. As we are moving house, this could all be very attributable to stress, and it is only the first month of trying, so trying not to raise my hopes too much.

I have ginger nuts to share around - no time for baking, so I bought a couple of packets of biscuits.

chookford · 01/10/2012 12:32

Waves symptoms sound promising! fx you will have a bfp in the next week or so! new baby and new house would be brilliant!
