Sad

Think I'm out ladies.
(TMI alert) Brownish discharge, start of AF or late implantation?
11dpo, think it's AF. Cycle 1 after coming off pill so a bit clueless.
Trying not to cry at my desk.

Dr Google is telling me implantation bleeds take place between 8dpo & 12dpo and I had stretchy feelings inside my tummy earlier, no normal AF cramps, so it could be implantation.

HEAD MELT

I guess I'll know for sure over the next couple of days, please please cross your fingers for me

Oh taking cannot move as all digits crossed for you. Yes the whole 2ww doing my head in. Feel convinced that I'll be hitching a ride on November bus. The pregnancy symptoms and pms are so similar. Have genuinely thoufhtabout barring myself from Internet forthe next week as I am driving myself mad. Will just put the iPad in the garage and pray [ to any god that is listening] instead.

Good luck and I will catch up with everyone on the13 th unless flamin AF shows up first .x

violet congratulations!

taking got everything crossed for you that it's implantation

JellyCurls · 04/10/2012 14:10

fx taking I had implantation bleeding at 14dpo with DC1 so all is not lost yet.

Am going home via the poundshop tonight to get cheapy pee sticks as there is no way I can wait till Sunday to check again properly and refuse to waste good expensive cb ones on another bfn.

TakingTheStairs · 04/10/2012 15:31

Thanks weechops & jellycurls Thanks
JellyCurls do you remember how long it was after your bleeding that you got your BFP?
I know this will sounds nuts if it turns out to be AF, but I was saying to my DH this morning that the inside of my abdomen feels stretched underneath my stomach muscles if that makes sense? I have so many symptoms that I don't know if I'm willing them to be there or if they really there.

I bought three double packs of CB test at lunch time (it was 3 for 2 at Boots!) and got back to the office and saw the (hopefully) implantation bleed so felt a bit gutted initially.

Also found out last night that my BIL's wife (SIL? SILIL? lol) is 6wks pregnant and they're staying with us this weekend. I'm delighted for her but hoping I don't have to cope with disappointment on the inside for the whole weekend if it is AF that I have.

That post was very me me me .
Blush sorry!

Congratulations violet!

JellyCurls · 04/10/2012 18:51

Hi taking i got implantation bleeding day i got my bfp in fact it was same trip to the loo. Was only one bit of spotting though but i have had fiends who have had proper bleeds with implantation. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you.

My cheapy pee sticks giving me bfn so think i am in a weird, post cp, cycle Sad

wavesandsmiles · 04/10/2012 18:57

Congratulations violet!

taking - I have all my toes as well as my fingers crossed for you.

I am definitely not going to be POASing early, as I have managed to lose my ICs in the mayhem that is my half packed up house....Not enjoying things too much at the moment - work is a nightmare - have done ridiculous amounts of overtime the past few months, and have to be in super early tomorrow. Again. So, I am really hoping for some good news next week, but if not, me and DH can have lots of fun DTD in our new house Grin

pocopearl · 04/10/2012 21:23

congrats to everyone with BFPs :)

TakingTheStairs · 05/10/2012 06:56

Thank you SO much to those that were crossing their fingers for me but I'm off the bus.
All my symptoms were obviously wishful thinking. AF arrived with a vengeance last night. But at least now I know my full cycle.

Aw taking I'm really sorry the witch got you.

shineypeacock · 05/10/2012 08:02

taking sending you a big hug, have booze, brie and pate this weekend, am sure you will get a BFP soon, as you said you are aware of your full cycle,

I have been off the pill since April and really trying since the end of June, spoke to my practice nurse the other week whilst in for another reason and she said it can take 6 months for your cycle to be normal again, so please dont feel too bad xxx

chookford · 05/10/2012 08:13

Taking I am so so sorry booooo bloody witch!! But as you say you are now aware of your cycle and hopefully it Wong be too long before you get that bfp! Have a few Vino's tonight!!

JellyCurls · 05/10/2012 08:48

Sorry taking that evil AF caught you, hope you have a chocolate filled boost weekend x

TakingTheStairs · 05/10/2012 08:57

Thank you so much jellycurls, chookford, shineypeacock and weechops. You guys are amazing Thanks

These cheesecake brownies are being delivered to the office today, so I think they'll help with the cheering up Grin

Thank-you for the lovely messages xx
For those in the 2ww I have had no symptoms apart from a head cold about 1 week past ovulation and now a missing witchey visitor!

For anyone coping with WTF cycles after the pill. I came off Ceraztte at the end of Feb although not TTC until the last couple of months. I had been on it for less than a year but it took a good 3 or 4 months to fall back to a regular pattern. Although frustrating I think this is pretty normal.

littlepink if your dc has started to wake up to be straighten out at night could they be ready for a pillow and tucked in bedding? My 19 month old naps in a sleeping bag but (without waking) likes to migrate right aound the cot at night. Not sure what the recommendations are for ur age group but maybe a possiblilty, (forgive me if this is a rediculous suggestion)

waves good luck "christening* the new house.

wavesandsmiles · 05/10/2012 12:38

Hi all.

taking I am really cross on your behalf that the witch appeared. But enjoy plenty of wine this weekend!

I'll not be around (probably) for the next few days as we are in the final days of packing up. Kind of wishing we hadn't packed so much furniture already, had to work from home last night and did so sat on the floor with my laptop!

Fx for good news over the weekend

Woodlands · 05/10/2012 12:52

Boo - I'm out for this month. At least AF had the decency to show up on the early side rather than late!

chookford · 05/10/2012 15:31

Woodlands so sorry to hear that witch has taken another passenger out of the running!! Right November bus will be lucky one I am sure! Have a large glass of Wine tonight and eat lots of pâté and soft cheese!

TakingTheStairs · 05/10/2012 16:06

woodlands Sorry to hear that

wavesandsmiles how is the packing going? When is moving day?

weechops, woodlands and anyone else that AF has paid a visit to this month... I've found a new bus with a nice driver that promises to drive us straight to our Nov BFPs. Come join when you can
