Congratulations Ella, fantastic news to start off the October BFP's! Hopefully many more to come!

shineypeacock · 01/10/2012 12:52

Just been to boots and bought a pack of FRER, (3) so when should i poas?

Dont really fancy doing it at work tbh, should I wait for FMU tomorrow or give one a go this afternoon, no sign of anything on IC's tho.

Symptoms have pretty much stopped, apart from sore boobs occasionally, well they really hurt on Saturday night and now just let me know they are there iykwim and i have a cold so the tiredness may be related to that!

poco glad all is getting back to normal, might be joining you on that November bus xx

littlepinkfizz · 01/10/2012 13:11

weechops could still be too early.its never over til the BFP appears!

Never heard of the grapefruit either purple but when I have ms the only thing I can tolerate is grapefruit!

poco hopeful for November .Try to stay positive. At least you know what is going on now.

Any one else testing this week? I'm so excited!

littlepinkfizz · 01/10/2012 13:13

I'd probably wait til tomorrow there's no way I could with fmu!good luck [ smile]

TakingTheStairs · 01/10/2012 13:21

Ohh littlepinkfizz good luck for tomorrow

And lovely weechops, fx for you too x

I'm going test on Friday morning (if AF doesn't arrive by then) as we have guests coming for the weekend and I'd like to know just in case so I know if I can have some wine or not. If I get a BFN I'm going to try to not be too stressed as it will only have been a full 2WW the following Monday.

Last week dragged, let's hope this week isn't the same.

Shineypeacock wait till fmu tomorrow. Think I am due same time as you but got inpatient this morning (could hear the tests - boots own so not good at early detection, calling me from the bathroom cabinet) and got a BFN. Symptoms to spot are tiredness (but not excessive) sore boobs when running up and down stairs (could be why I am tired though) stuffy headache (posible leftover cold related), oh and a raised pulse rate from 70bpm to 88bpm resting. Next test for me will be Thursday, AF due on Wednesday if I take 14 days after ov, so going to be strong and wait till day late to test

littlepinkfizz · 01/10/2012 14:28

Oh it's not me testing, it's peacock!
I don't test until 13 October but tbh not feeling hopeful at all. Ooh hope it won't be too long til Friday for you taking. Only 4 more sleeps! Nervous for you. But nipples sound good! < titters>!

I got so excited last month when my boobs became sooo sore. This has never happened to me before except when pregnant. But no. Bloody Mother Nature taking the p. damn you mother nature. Just have a month off and give everyone on the bus a BFP this month! How great would that be?

littlepinkfizz · 01/10/2012 14:30

Oh jelly you just tested too early with cheapo sticks. Be strong! X

TakingTheStairs · 01/10/2012 15:04

Whoops littlepinkfizz, sorry about that!

OP posts:
shineypeacock · 01/10/2012 15:09

thanks jelly i will wait until tomrrow, am sure it will be a BFN though! AF not due until Wednesday however so may still be early!

Arrgghh this has been a long 2 weeks!!!

littlehelp · 01/10/2012 15:12

Congrats On your BFP Grin

ella0 · 01/10/2012 16:55

Thank you so much jellycurls, purplegeekygirl, weechops, knickerbockerglorycherry, Shineypeacock, littlepinkfizz, violet takingthestairs, chookford, lexi, waves, autumn, little and anyone else I've missed. You're all so lovely! :)

Symptoms for me this month (because I spent ages scouring the net for them during the 2ww!) were really mild cramps a few days after ovulation, and then mild burning feelings for a couple of days after that. I thought af was on the way yesterday when I had more mild cramps (though I normally get them once af has come). I noticed last night that the cente of my nipples is much paler than the outside (of the nipple, not the areola), so either they've lightened or the ourside has got darker. I also had a slight headache yesterday (I never get headaches) and I felt really tired over the weekend (was travelling though, so thought it was linked to that).

My boobs were sore last month (for the first time ever) but af arrived early. This month, they haven't been sore at all.

My husband still can't believe it, he wants me to test again tomorrow with a different test! I'm scared!

Fingers crossed for you all and hope you're feeling better soon violetcherry.

weechops as someone else said, it isn't over till af arrives.

shiney, I tested today which is when af was due (13dpo, day 28 of cycle).

Good luck for tomorrow jellycurls and shineypeacock (and anyone I've missed).

littlepinkfizz · 01/10/2012 17:01

Thanks for telling us all your symptoms ella. I'll be mad checking them next week! We Dtd the day we got smiley.. Do you think this is enough. I'm on cycle 3 too and would really love that BFP x

ella0 · 01/10/2012 17:09

I think the pack says to dtd anytime in the next couple of days after the smiley, as though once is enough. However, I'd read on the net somewhere that the day of the smiley and the day after were recommended so did both (and the day before smiley didn't hurt either).

ella0 · 01/10/2012 17:14

BTW I've added a photo of my tests to my profile.

shineypeacock · 01/10/2012 17:23

ARSE FECK COCK AND SHITE!!!!! Angry Angry Angry

Bloody bitchbag AF appeared this afternoon, see it will teach me for spending £10 on bloody tests!!!!

Thought i felt strange when driving home, and low and behold her she is - 2 flipping days early to boot!! Thought it was just brown gunk (hopeful implantation bleed!) but no, big red AF after i wiped (sorry TMI)

Am staying on the bus tho, 31 days in October so headed for the back and briging up the rear!!

Having large G&T and brie with crackers to make me feel better!

Love and baby dust to you all xxxxx

shineypeacock BOOOOOOOOOO to bitch AF.

OP posts:
ella0 · 01/10/2012 17:30

So sorry shineypeacock :( .

ella0 · 01/10/2012 17:31

Oh, and fingers crossed takingthestairs.

chookford · 01/10/2012 18:15

shiney so sorry to hear the witch showed up booooooo! But as you say you are not out for Oct just may be a bit later than first hoped! I shall keep everything crossed for you! Have a g & t for me too please!!

ella thanks for sharing and congrats again really is brilliant news!

taking it really does sound like you may be heading for a bfp in the next few days! Soooooooo exciting!!

OveranxiousUnderated · 01/10/2012 18:48

Unless I am being a bit blind I can't see my name on the last updated list (was on the one before, thanks for adding me Smile)

I haven't had any major symptoms yet, although I keep getting heartburn on and off throughout the day which isn't something I ever really get. Also sorry TMI Blush I feel constantly moist down there and seem to have quite a bit CM everyday, again not something I usually get unless I just don't notice it as much when not TTC. Has anyone else experienced this?

littlepinkfizz · 01/10/2012 19:16

Oh so sorry shiney but at least your still on our bus! Feckin AF is a pure bitch isn't she. Not even giving you the chance to poas by coming 2 days early. Bitch

taking sounding good!

JellyCurls · 01/10/2012 19:28

Sorry peacock but glad you still on the bus.

over i think lots of wet cm is good. I not had that but lots of, what only can be described as snottery cm (sorry ladies thats def tmi)

shineypeacock · 01/10/2012 20:06

littlepink i have been POAS (ic) since Friday, but today foolishly spent £10 on FRER this afternoon, 3 hours later her she was waving her red shunky shite about the place!!!

Had a big hug with DH and told him be prepared for lots of shagging this month, at the monent he is looking forward to it!! Grin

fx for you all xx
