How is everyone? Hope you're all ok, and you're doing well, babyjames?

I think I'm similar to you James (and lowra?) - about 11dpo, but not 100% on that. Two bfns so far. Thinking of testing again tomorrow but not sure I wan to!

Have no symptoms atm, apart from cm but I haven't been monitoring that so not sure if it's different this cycle. Will be more vigilant next month!

Think Angie is due a similar time to you, Stonebaby Smile

Pink and James wafting positive vibes in your direction.

I have a FRER on my bedside table that has been glinting at me for the last few days so will defo be poas in the morning.

pinksky · 29/09/2012 22:52

Lots of good wishes for all of us POAS-ing tomorrow then - reassurance for you, babyjames, and happy news for the rest of us

Angie607 · 29/09/2012 23:19

I'll be testing Friday :)

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 30/09/2012 01:16

Getting a bit poas crazy here, just realised I hadn't had a wee since 6 pm so thought I may as well test, bfn still. 12 dpo tomorrow but will there be any point in wasting another stick in 7 hours time?

Anyone else have no/dry cm? Wondering if its a good or a bad sign. Also I've been lay on my back tonight reading, notthinking about anything ttc ish, and suddenly became aware of my own pulse thumping away in my uterus region. Could it be from extra blood pumping around the area? Am I talking crap? Probably. Wink

Argh doesn't the waiting drive you mad?

lowra · 30/09/2012 01:52

Hi James. Another night owl here. I'm lying awake imagining symptoms and have convinced myself I am well and truly diffed. But I've not got much cm so not sure what that means either.

Boo to your bfn. If I were you I would try to hold out to monday now but easier said than done I know. Yep the waiting game is not a fun one x

pinksky · 30/09/2012 07:37

Morning all. Good symptom spotting James & lowra. Agree you should h

pinksky · 30/09/2012 07:47

Gah! Really shouldn't post from my phone! Meant to say, agree you should hold off til Monday, James.

Well, not only a BFN for me on a cb digital this morning but AF seems to be arriving Sad - CD24 today, so likely to be a shorter than usual cycle this month, god knows why. we're going on holiday on Friday so she should be gone by then... every cloud and all that! And at least the not knowing is over.

Fx to all of those left in the running - one graduate so far, time and room for more Smile

lowra · 30/09/2012 10:27

G'morning

Sorry about your bfn Pinksky. I got one aswell this morning after convincing myself I was most definitely diffed.

I still have slight cramps, but AF is probably not due for another 5 or 6 days as I think I have a long luteal phase. I may or may not be 10PO, but if I'm less I'm probably out anyway due to shag timings. I'm convinced I felt implantation cramps on Wednesday but I would expect to have tested positive by now if that's the case. Gah it's all so confusing.

Hope everyone has a happy Sunday with plenty of fun distractions!

Angie607 · 30/09/2012 12:42

morning afternoon ladies. Sorry about the bfn pink and lowra.
My slight cramps from the other day buggered off within a few hours and having a bit more CM (lovely!) so I dunno if that's a good sign or not?
Also went to a clairvoyant last night. And my grandma and grandad both came through and my grandma said that I'm having twins. Not sure if any of you are believers but the things that were said were spot on.
Itching to get to Friday so I can test!

Xx

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 30/09/2012 19:39

Ooh exciting, angie! Twins eh? Stranger things have happened! Wink

Don't test til Monday? Nooooo I have zero willpower, I'll pee on anything, me! Grin tested this morning and saw... something. I don't know if it's an evap, a fainter than faint shadow like line or a figment of my imagination, frankly. You know how you can "see" lines because you want to? I guess the next couple of days will decide it either way.

Good luck and baby dust everyone. Congrats, urban! Smile

lowra · 30/09/2012 20:13

Ooh James, exciting news. Any more symptoms to report?

Angie607 · 30/09/2012 20:40

Oooooo banana exciting!!!!

Holding a bag of baby dust in front of a fan!

Xx

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 30/09/2012 20:47

Thanks, no terribly exciting symptoms to report, still the same with no cm, had a couple of very sharp stabby pains in my boobs over the last few days but that doesn't mean much, I'm pretty sure that in my last two pg my boobs didn't get sore or different til I was about 5 months along.

Quite tempted to poas tonight to see if there's anything there, but it's only been 3 hours since I last went to the loo so it probably would be too dilute. addict! Wink

Any symptoms, anyone? I bet I'm making it all up and af will come along next week to make me look stupid.

Angie607 · 30/09/2012 20:54

I just poas too lol. Seriously by the time I'm supposed to be testing I'm not gonna have any tests left haha obsessed much? :/
I've not had anything since the bloating and cramps mid week, but I do feel a little....different.
Also my face has decided to explode with spots, and the only other times I have for them is when I was pg with 1 & 2, and I have been a right irritable cow as usual this week but maybe that's cos I'm thinking too much?
Xx

lowra · 30/09/2012 21:13

Noonday = boobs :)

lowra · 30/09/2012 21:14

My symptoms have gone. I did have some cm but that's dried up! My noonday feel completely normal. I occasionally have a funny feeling in my lower abdomen. Will see how I feel tomorrow...

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 30/09/2012 22:58

I just got a bfp! There is no shocked emoticon! It's very faint, but definitely there. I redid the test with another stick (same wee) to check I wasn't seeing things, but both have a faint pink line.

Haylebop12 · 30/09/2012 23:30

Eeeek james a possible graduate!

babyjames how you getting on?

Angie607 · 01/10/2012 08:03

Ooooooo banana congratulations!!!!

Xx

pinksky · 01/10/2012 08:33

CONGRATULATIONS James - that's fantastic news! Another graduate!!

I'm so pleased we've had some bfps. Yes, babyjames - how are you doing?

lowra · 01/10/2012 18:24

Congratulations James/Banana Grin

Well another BFN for me this morning FRER (not FMU), I think I must be around 11dpo but I'm not charting.

However this afternoon I spotted some pink in my CM, and I feel a bit nauseous. AF not due for another 4 or 5 days as I have a fairly long cycle. The pinky cm is exactly what happened with DD but I think I was around 14 dpo when I tested that time.

Hmmmmmm... still trying to hold out some hope for this cycle.

BettyFlutterbly · 01/10/2012 19:45

Hi ladies, can I join your poas mania?
I am 8dpo and desperate to start testing. I have a few ic left frpm last month.
I have a 2 yr old dd already who I got pg with first cycle ttc.
I had an early mc last month but ov'd on day 18 of cycle and am convinced I'm pg again this month.
Congrats James.
Fx to everyone else.
