Nicola yay for your work news :-)

letskiwithisthing · 03/10/2012 22:43

Evening everyone, how are you all doing? I'm just catching up! Quiet on here tonight!

Sorry to hear you are in limbo land dulcet fx for some good news soon, the way I feel I may not make it to Sunday to test, have a night out planned Saturday and would like to know before that! Just cant bear a BFN so holding off! Quite surprised and relieved that no AF still - hope that doesn't jinx me now!

Symptoms today = spots they better bugger off by sat, backache, sore boobs, mild crampy feelings! Nothing out of the ordinary so far! I want my mouth to taste of metal

Will be 10DPO tomorrow - didn't make it to that last month Grin

Lolcbcblemonlime · 03/10/2012 22:48

Nic my cycles are long so I don't think I'll ov until late next week. I'll use opk as of Sunday as its predicted for thu/fri. Not sure as still messed up after mc :-/

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 04/10/2012 06:31

It's annoying not knowing where you are.

My cycles are never the same at the moment, but I put that don to the injection's side effects.

4DPO and cramping really badly today :-( Every month my body throws something new at me!

Thanks nic, I have had the pre AF feeling for a few days now but still holding out hope until she arrives! Got up from bed so fast this morning to check whether she arrived overnight but hadn't!

Today would have been my day to test if I hadn't had those two later smilies! Good job I have used up my FMU or may be tempted to POAS!!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 04/10/2012 07:09

Oh, and this cycle my boobs have been painful since before OV, and still are. What the hell is that about?! When are they meant to stop hurting?

They feel bigger too, oddly.

Only 4 days left at work :-)

OP posts:
kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 04/10/2012 07:11

How many days after the later smilies are you?

It's good to get rid of FMU quickly :-)

OP posts:
letskiwithisthing · 04/10/2012 07:20

My boobs felt bigger around that time too but are back to normal now! It has been 12 days since first smiley and 11 since the second!

I have tracked my cycle last 2 months, first luteal phase was 13 days, second was 8 days, I'm on day 10 of this luteal phase today! I have read that the luteal phase is meant to stay consistent so would hope it's 13 days as 8 is way too short!

But if it is 13 days, then AF is due on Sunday as think I ov'd last Monday! What I'm trying to say is cant get my hopes up until Sunday, can just be relieved the my LP is a bit longer than last month :)

Oh how I wish that I had a nice long break from work to look forward to! Bet you're looking forward to the honeymoon too!!!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 04/10/2012 07:25

My luteal phase has been all over the shop too. Again, I put this down to the injection!

It was 10 or 11 the cycle before last and 13 last time. Anything above 10 is apparently ok, until it gets too long as that is also bad apparently!

I can't wait for the time off. :-) The honeymoon will be awesome, yes.

9 days now!! Single figures. Scary!!

OP posts:
RaspberrysAndIcecream · 04/10/2012 08:05

Morning!!! 2days mission is to go to the supermarket and not buy a test!!!! I think if there's one in the house, I'll use it!!

Not long now Nic - the next week will fly by!!

Lets - ru poas on Sunday? or waiting a bit?

TalTangerine · 04/10/2012 08:18

I have another negative at 12dpo, but it's still early. My luteal phase is 12-16 days so I'm not out until Tuesday, unless I start my period before then of course. Luteal phases do vary by a few days either way Nic. I got the 12-16 from looking very carefully through my charts because some of the interpretations of the software were awful in the past and it was throwing the data off, lets, with your 8 day one could that have happened? If you're using FF, their advanced method isn't as good as the fertility awareness setting in my opinion.

DulcetMoans · 04/10/2012 08:49

I got another BFN too. Not sure what is going on as don't feel very pre-AF. Have other weird things instead (stitch, sicky, weight won't go down! Haha) but nothing to prove that means anything.

But on my normal cycle, ignoring when I got the smiley, I am still 6 days away from AF.

BlocketteBananaSmoothie · 04/10/2012 10:21

Morning!

My AF arrived this morning! out of no where! hopfully I will go back to a normal 28 day cycle now - I cant be doing 46 day cycles all the time! - did anyone else who had WTF cycles go back to normal after or do you gradually get shorter again?

Sorry about your BFN Dulcet, but if you're 6 days from AF maybe you just tested too early?

raspberrys I would be just the same, I'm not good at waiting!

FX Lets!

OMG - so close nic!! are you getting nervous?

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 04/10/2012 11:12

Are you glad it has come in a way, Block? Limbo over.

Got butterflies. Not nervous too much. Yet!

BlocketteBananaSmoothie · 04/10/2012 12:03

You'll be fine I'm sure! I was completely fine on my wedding day - not stressed at all. - DH on the other hand was very nervous as he convinced himself I wouldn't come! lol

yes very relieved! almost felt like getting the BFP! lol - I do not like waiting or not knowing what's happening!

peardrop2 · 04/10/2012 12:20

Oh Block I'm so pleased you're out of limbo land! I wish I had been calm on my wedding day. I was stupidly nervous and my DH was the cucumber!

DulcetMoans · 04/10/2012 13:43

Yay block!! You'll be onto the next cycle in no time!

Tense knicker watching here!!

I would like to try and be calm on the day but I know it's easier said than done. I'm bad enough now!

peardrop2 · 04/10/2012 16:05

Can I just say that the knicker watching does not end here...I'm actually seriously considering buying more white knickers as I only have one pair (of white that is)!

peardrop2 · 04/10/2012 16:08

Sorry you probably didn't want to hear the annoying knicker news :-) well if you're thinking of investing in white knickers now I can confirm that it would be a good investment hah :-)

DulcetMoans · 04/10/2012 17:55

Haha. We love a bit of knicker talk! Noticed my knicker choice is dependant on time of month.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 04/10/2012 18:02

Good news block. I'm not sure how long it takes cycles to be normal. When was mc?
I've had two cycles since mc- 33 and 34. Used to be 30 so not as bad as you. This month I've no idea. No positive on opk yet.
Dulcet when are u poas again? What a pain x

letskiwithisthing · 04/10/2012 18:40

Hello everyone!

What a day I have had - they must think I have a water infection in work the number of trips I made to the loo! Still no AF though! Did have some white discharge this morning but haven't had any more - any idea if that's good or bad? Also have convinced myself that boobs tingled today but think it was just the cold weather and my nipples were getting hard (tmi?) which is usual for me - turning a bit crazy here!!

So lots going on I see...
pear never before have white nickers been so appealing :)

dulcet your day sounds like mine, if haven't come on over night by sat morning think I am going to test before our night out - DH wants me to wait until Sunday though so we shall see

block yay for AF showing up - not often we say that on this thread but at least you get a fresh cycle to start over now!

tal thanks for the advice re ff- quite possible they messed up the 8 day LP, hope so anyway because that's worrying otherwise!

rasp when are you testing???? :)

letskiwithisthing · 04/10/2012 18:42

Oops posted to soon was going to say nic have been nosey and googled pics of Iceland and it looks beautiful - may have to plan a trip myself :) 9 more sleeps :)
