Autumn Yeah that's what I ned to do, start opk-ing again, would make dating a pregnancy a bit more difficult if I do then ovulate without getting AF first but hay ho, heres to poas every afternoon and being busting for a wee every flippin day Disclaimer- I pee alot and find it difficult to wait the suggested 4 hours Blush

Laptopgirl · 17/10/2012 21:10

lexi do you text your OV with a CBFM?

JellyCurls · 17/10/2012 21:27

lexido you mean a cp? I had implantation spotting that didn't stop. Had a feint positive on my due date and thats when spotting started. A week later tested again and still feint positive. All that week had horrid cramps. When i was a week late i took bad pains then a gush of blood then nothing. Af never showed up at all. Tested next morning and was negative Sad. Doc said was hormonal so called family planning. They explained it was a cp. Next cycle was 6 weeks but hoping back on track now.

Hope you got a shy bean and not a cp, hugs to you x

lexi I am so sorry to hear your news. I hope that you are getting lots of support in RL and that you get a BFP soon. To be honest, I?m quite confused about OBKs, ovulation, luteul phases etc.

Congratulations nannyl

Weechops ? fingers crossed for October!

Well, I got back from short break in Rome last night. I'm CD26 but so far have only had BFNs. Still feeling nauseous all the time (apart from when I eat) and my boobs are still really sore and tender - the tenderness and pain has now spread from being kind of under my arms to the whole of my boobs. This is what they were like when I got pregnant the first time. I've been trying not to but I've completely got my hopes up. I'm going to test on Saturday morning although as this is a wtf cycle, who knows what will happen!

LexiLoganberry · 17/10/2012 22:22

laptopgirl no don't use the CBFM I've been using the cheap internet ovulation sticks then when they look positive for LH surge I use a clear blue ovulation stick to confirm the result with the unmistakable smiley face.

jellycurls Yes sorry did mean chemical pregnancy not cervical mucus.
I'm sorry to hear of your CP, it does sound similar to what I've experienced.
I don't know how much of my little story you've read, so in brief.

Did preg test monday which was day before af due with a early tester which was neg
Did test thursday which was 2 days after af due with another early tester very faint positive
Next day tested again as was hoping for a stronger positive got a neg but found out that this test was not as sensitive as the early testers.
Next day did the same, neg again.
Monday evening started spotting
Tuesday took urine sample to doctors, tested in morning as well and looked again faint positive, still spotting and then in evening really bad cramps but no real blood loss still just spotting.
Today still spotting, no cramps.

I'm really pleased to have you all to talk to, we're not telling anyone in real life except my closest friend, my mum called about an hour after I got results and I felt awful as I couldn't tell her and of course I really wasn't in the mood for chit chat, it felt a bit uncomfortable, hopefully DM didn't realise anything was up.

deliasmithy · 17/10/2012 23:38

Lexi - really sorry to hear about your BFN and what a trying day you've had.

I'm testing negative, boob pain subsiding,AF due any time. It's like being in limbo or no man's land.

weechops · 18/10/2012 06:54

Lexi so sorry for the shitty time you're having. Its awful when you just need to know what's going on with your body.

Woody yay for the sore boobs, sounds promising.

Ok I am very confused today. Cd17 and no hint of a smiley opk. Usually I ov cd15/16 of 28/29 day cycle so wtf is going on? It would just be sod's law that I don't ov this month when I have dh home at the right time. Gah!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/10/2012 07:05

Hugs Lexi, sorry you're still in limbo.

I'm off the bus for this month, the unmistakable af backache began a few days ago. Does anyone else get basically constant pains? I get 3-4 days pain free after af ends and before ov Pain. Bad ov pains, 2-3 days off then af pains Sad I don't like this growing old malarkey!

Am stepping off bus for next couple of months too so will send you all oodles of baby dust and rejoin in new year Smile

littlepinkfizz · 18/10/2012 08:14

Sorry to hear that purple are you just fed up trying? We will miss you x

woody17 · 18/10/2012 08:21

Sorry to hear that purple

Hai1988 · 18/10/2012 08:24

Hey all, i joined the november thread cus i thought bfp wasnt due til nov 4th but due to a very short cycle last month and some werid symtoms going on yesterday I may have a shot for a oct bfp. So can i join you lovely ladies Blush

woody17 · 18/10/2012 08:32

Hi hai what symptoms do you have?

JellyCurls · 18/10/2012 08:32

Hi lexi i have followed your story but it sounded like my cp so didn't want to butt in and suggest anything. We never told rl people and all i have had since is people phoning me to tell me they are pregnant, want to shout at them to go away but thats a bit rude and not very fair.

Really hope you are doing ok, sending you a big hug x

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/10/2012 08:52

woody littlepink thanks Blush! Yeah, fed up trying, not really supposed to be properly ttc until Jan anyway so going to stepawayfromobsessing_ for a bit and chillax about it all and then see what happens in the new year. fed up reacting to every little twinge, no matter how much I tell myself to ignore it all! Good luck to everyone else tho Grin

TakingTheStairs · 18/10/2012 09:00

Lexi I'm sorry sorry that things are looking grim at the moment. ((((hugs))))

Purple I'm sorry things are looking good either for you. It sucks doesn't it Sad

Fingers crossed for you Woody Smile

weechops...it's better to have sex in the days leading up to the smilie, so the sperm is there waiting, so your body may be doing you a favour! Get shagging is my advice :-)

LexiLoganberry · 18/10/2012 09:37

Thank you everyone for your good wishes and kind words, it really does help to have you all to talk to.

fx AF stays away for you delia

I don't feel in limbo anymore, it's sunk in and I've accepted it now (yesterday I was in a little bit of denial) Spotting has increased to light bleeding, more like I'd get toward end of a period, so will have to keep an eye on that and try to figure out which day I'm going to count as day 1.

Think it's time I got off this bus. I will keep popping in to see how your all getting on.

Thank you all for your support.

Laptopgirl · 18/10/2012 09:40

Sorry purple to read your news - fingers crossed new year, new start will be kind to you.

lexi hope today is a brighter day for you xxxx

Hai1988 · 18/10/2012 09:44

Hey woody, symtoms consist of alot of dizzyness atm so much so im currently at the docs waiting room to.invesergate more. Werid light stabbing/pulling feeling in lower sides of tummy and hungry all the time (not like me at all)

woody17 · 18/10/2012 11:01

I hope that you get some answers hai Have you tested recently?

lexi hope you are ok. I really hope that you get a BFP soon. I'm sorry that you had to have your hopes raised in the way that they were.

purple fx for a BFP in the new year (or before!)

Hai1988 · 18/10/2012 12:07

Doc said i was perfectly healthy so she couldnt figer out what was causing the dizzyness.

She wouldnt do a blood test said i shud just wait it out!!

LexiLoganberry · 18/10/2012 12:11

Sorry you didn't get an answer about your dizzyness today Hai

Dexidoo · 18/10/2012 13:43

Sorry to hear about your CP lexi Sad

I don't want to jinx myself but I am feeling very hopeful.

TMI warning!!
9DPO today and have had some brown loss- about a 2 pence size on my new white knicks (typical) and when I wiped some mucus slightly streaked. This is CD22 and my recent cycles have been 27-28 days so if AF is starting I will be well peeved! Please be IB!! ( I had spotting 9DPO in previous pg in May)

When to test, when to test ...

Hai1988 · 18/10/2012 13:47

Oo sounds very promising dexi :)

woody17 · 18/10/2012 13:57

dexi sounds very promising! Fx for you.

hai I can't believe your dr! Is there any chance that you could be pg now? Could you see a different dr?
