OP posts:
Owlie84 · 05/09/2013 22:58

I think the 11th/12th, depending on if my cycle is playing ball this month. My fingers are tightly crossed, but haven't really noticed any symptoms. :(

mama31 · 05/09/2013 23:30

Its early days yet! Good luck for a bfp!!

mama31 · 05/09/2013 23:43

Thanks mrsmummytobe! Great to see you checking in with us still! I hope your right about this cycle and I'm glad I'm still in the running for sept! Here's hoping... :) I wish you a wonderful pregnancy! X

onefunkymama · 05/09/2013 23:48

mama I also ordered the cheap OPKs from Amazon. Should arrive tomorrow. Feels very much like AF is on her way so, once she's bogged off we'll be newbie OPKers together.

VickyVix · 06/09/2013 03:49

Ok, I can't keep up with this, I turn my back for 24 hours and we're on a new bus!

Well I made it to Malaysia, and they have wifi :) but the witch followed me so I'm afraid I'm out this month ladies. I'll be boarding the October bus, BFP due around 6th Oct.

I'll hand around if you don't mind, happy to give up my seat for any newbies though.

Wishing you all the best of luck this month.

justhayley so sorry to hear your news, hang in there and it will happen for you and your OH

ScienceGeekGirl · 06/09/2013 06:49

Hello and good morning ladies. Onto the third bus. I do hope the frequency of buses correlates to the frequency of the of BFP. If one of those can head my way that would be so nice.

Think I'm cycle day 43. Stupid body. Less than a week finally till AF due. I've had enough as you can imagine. But my temperature is getting progressively higher so that's my symptom spotting for the day.

Anyone testing this morning? I've promised myself ill wait till due as its not like I haven't waited an eternity already.

Sending a far away hello to vix. Malaysia sounds amazing. Tad jealous.

Bloumermaid · 06/09/2013 07:30

Today is 14dpo so I dutifully POAS and BFN.

Every time I do it I'm convinced that's what I'll see, but it's still really disappointing!

I know everyone says it's not over til AF shows up, but that could be ages for me as my body is still settling down post-pill.

So frustrating! Had spotting last weekend at 8&9dpo, but it was red on the first day - could I have conceived but failed to implant? Surely that would have been much heavier?

Frankly ladies, wtf? Sad

mama31 · 06/09/2013 07:38

What date did you come off the pill bloumer? Have you had an af since coming off yet?

Onefunkymama that's good news...we can compare notes with the opks! Lol

mama31 · 06/09/2013 07:39

And I'm sorry for your bfn bloumer...hugs

blamber · 06/09/2013 07:56

I'm off the bus. AF arrived a week early. This is the second cycle coming off the pill and the second cycle lp was too short. In my fertility book it says its common to have a short lp for the first one or two cycles after stopping the pill, so I'm going to give it one more cycle and if it hasn't improved I'm off to the doc.

mama31 · 06/09/2013 08:07

Sorry Blamber! I'm in the exact same boat as you....so frustrating! Mine was 23 days! What was your cycle and lp?? If your cycle is short you can stay on the bus with us still! I got a 2nd shot at sept bus with my 23 day cycle, bfp was due 7th now due 28th! (But like you I'm hoping for a longer cycle this time. Hugs!

Bloumermaid · 06/09/2013 08:08

Sorry to hear that blamber. [Flowers] Thanks for the useful info about a short LP being normal post-pill, will look out for it - I think some other ladies have found that too.

mama I came off the pill on 1st April and no AF since. Pfft!

Bloumermaid · 06/09/2013 08:09

Sorry blamber, meant Flowers

wispaxmas · 06/09/2013 08:19

Sorry for the bfn bloumer, and sorry about AF blamber! Great attitude about it, though, but having listened to the chat on here i think it might be worth giving b6 a try even before seeing your gp.

Ill be doing my very first OPK today, though expecting (hoping) to get a negative until Monday or Tuesday next week. We've already messed up smep, but in a too much too early kind of way! Shock tmi? I don't want H to burn out, but it's lovely to see him so hung ho about project bubba.

Choccywoccydodah · 06/09/2013 08:22

Oh no blamber Shock hope all ok. Good luck for your next try x

Bloumer, it ain't over yet!

Nottalotta, work sounds a nightmare, sorry you're having a shit time Hmm

Purple, hope you're better now.

Question for you. Having pains on left side like mild stitch like. I'm due ov today according to FF, so assuming I am ov. Is that it now with regards sex? What I mean is, if we had sex now, I assume those spermies will be too late and whatever is in there already is what's going to count. Or should we just carry on? So confused!

mama31 · 06/09/2013 08:52

Awh bloumer that's so annoying! Since april!!! What pill were u on (I may have asked you this before..lost with so much chat now) my af came 3 wks after I stopped the pill but now seems I have a short cycle! Hope your cycle sorts itself soon, was that spotting the first u had seen since coming off the pill? Have u used opks?

Good luck with the opk wispa!

Choccy carry on there! Get bk to it!! Seems those bfp's so far were from those who have worked hard at it and dtd constant so keep doing it!!

Ipsumlorem · 06/09/2013 09:07

Can I be added to the list please ladies? Smile

blamber I came off the pill 2 years ago and it took 3 cycles for them to become my regular 28 day cycle again so it may just take a bit more time? Mind you the first cycle we ttc in last year af came early by about 4 days - which is really unusual for me now. I think maybe I got so over excited and stressed (natural worrier!) it messed it up so I'm trying to avoid that this time! Smile

Sorry about the bfn bloumermaid - fingers crossed af doesn't show still.

I started with the opks last night - I got a faint line below the test line but one side of the line was darker iykwim - I miscounted and yesterday was actually only cd 8. I'm going to do another one tonight but could the slightly darker side maybe indicate that the LH surge is coming? Guess I'll find out soon if I keep poas Wink I'm curious to know if ovulation happens earlier than I thought to be honest - it may well explain the bfns last time we tried.....

Choccywoccydodah · 06/09/2013 09:17

We dtd anyway mama Wink

internationallove985 · 06/09/2013 10:12

I'm back on board after a horrendos A.F which is still slightly present. Still going to D.T.D later on A.F or no A.F. Been feeling very down and emotional this past week but feeling much more positive, now. A.F is next due on 28 Sept so if she stays away I'll be testing around then. Seems ages away. xxx

blamber · 06/09/2013 10:26

Thanks everyone. I stopped the pill in April, then had my first period in August, only 8 days after I first ovulated. This cycle I ovulated a week late, because of the stress of a job interview, but AF was again just 8 days later. Hopefully this cycle will be better.

gillywillywoo · 06/09/2013 10:39

FLIPPIN eck!
This thread is filling up already!!! Grin

Finds a seat next to Disney Thanks

Toffeecrispyum · 06/09/2013 11:02

Ok I have had Internet for a couple of days and has taken me hours to catch up!!
Am really confused about my cycle no real clue what day I am on if I ovulated blah blah but my boobs are swelling and am now leaking a teeny bit of milk has this happened anyone???Did a test BFN wtf is going on help!

Choccywoccydodah · 06/09/2013 11:33

God my back is killing me! Not kidney area, but higher up, very odd! Tummy also aching Hmm

flame40s · 06/09/2013 12:25

Congratulations Hendricks so pleased for you.

Well I finally caved in and tested yesterday and got a bfn. Then the old witch caught me about an hour later!!

So thats me off the bus as next bfp is 3rd October. Ive learned so much though, my luteal phase lasts exactly 14 days, I have a 26 day cycle, temping is the most reliable way to check ovulation (my digital thermometer was from superdrug cost 7.99) and dont associate everything as a sign of bfp!!!

If you are gassy you prob ate to much beans!!!

So my oh took me out last night and we got mashed on mohitos and ate the best seafood paella ever!!

mama31 · 06/09/2013 13:02

Sorry to hear that flame40's but sounds like you had a great night anyway! Good for you!!!

Well my opks arrived....and despite having af and because I appear to be a poas addict....yes I did I poas with opks....just coz I never used them before! Lol I am officially a crazy crazy lady! :/
