MrsB2013 · 12/10/2013 11:49

Hi everyone!

Think I'm 4dpo and have an achy feeling in my tummy, I want some symptoms!!!! Really hope this month has worked!

VJ are you still taking the B6?

MundayCakes85 · 12/10/2013 12:26

Just about caught up with this chatty bus. So sorry for you Lucy, but glad to hear you and DH are being so positive. And sorry to everyone AF got. I know how everyone's feeling. Spent 10+ years worrying about pregnancy on BC and now I just want to get upduffed!
12-13dpo and had a BFN here, no sign of AF yet but and scared to do another test in case it's negative again. Am going to wait it out.
We tried SMEP- was doing well, think we caught O day but DH went out that night so worried his swimmers were a little tipsy and weren't up to the task at hand!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend, I'm preparing myself for a night shift from hell Sad

Polkadot1 · 12/10/2013 14:35

Thanks guys!

mrswalsh77 · 12/10/2013 14:36

Well ladies, AF has caught up with me today!
On a positive - I go on holiday with DH on Thursday, plenty time for DTD and I can enjoy a few drinkies now too!
Good luck to all who are still waiting on their BFPs and wishing the October BFPs a happy & healthy 9 months!
No doubt see some of you on the November bus.
Will drop by from time to time to see how everyone is getting on.
Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 12/10/2013 14:40

Oh no mrswalsh!! So sorry, although enjoy your holiday and drinks! Good luck next time Thanks

AF got me too so off to the November bus I go. Hope there's lots more funny stories on there to keep me from getting too down! Loved yours writer!

Good luck to everyone waiting. I'll keep checking back to see if we get more BFPs. Fx for you all x

panicmechanic · 12/10/2013 15:00

Not sure what to think ... Very achey, windy, tired and feeling not myself. DH poured me a glass of wine last night and I couldn't drink it as it tasted awful in my mouth.. Same thing happened last time I was pregnant. AF not due until Weds/thurs so I know it's too early for symptoms and testing

Choccywoccydodah · 12/10/2013 16:29

Right, this going to be a but tmi, but bear with me. If I can't talk to you lot, who can I?!

Right, I've had some spotting off and on for the last couple of days. I don't know if I can actually call it spotting as such as it's just around my cervix and never actually comes out.
Anyway, me and dh dtd earlier about 2pm, and it's almost as if he's flushed the brown out! I've had nothing on my finger since when I've had a sweep of my cervix. So I'm actually now wondering how long the blood has been there and if it only came out once, but has been 'hanging around' a few days iykwim?
I'm so confused as af is showing no signs of coming, I don't feel ill at all, no cramp feelings, no backache etc, but I am so tired, and keep have dizzy spells when I stand up too quick, my lips are sore and cracking, and I have a headache.
We're out with friends later, and usually I'd be ravenous, but tbh I've had 2 bits of toast this morning which I didn't really want, but though I'd better, and I'm still not hungry at all. I don't feel full or bloated, just not hungry.
Has anyone else had this? Everything I type into Google comes up as 'a symptom', there doesn't seem to be anything out there that isn't a sodding symptom!
I've done another test and still bfn.

Last month when I was spotting, it was proper spotting on a panty liner for a couple of days, nothing the third day, but by the fourth (today) I was in full flow of af by this time.

Sorry im

panicmechanic · 12/10/2013 16:39

Choccy that sounds like implantation I think. Test again tomorrow good luck

VJONES1985 · 12/10/2013 16:46

MrsB Yep, still taking it. If it doesn't seem to work, I will probably stop for the next cycle and see what happens.

lucyfluff · 12/10/2013 17:14

Choccy I have a funny feeling you are pregnant...dont ask me how or why but I really think you are Grin can you test in a couple of days?

Sorry to all that AF has got and good luck for the next bus.

Ive been having a bit of pain on the side (a bit like stitch) and after googling came up wirh bloody ectopic pregnancy. I know Im nuts thinking it could be that after a neg test but its niggling so think Il ring GP back monday if it continues. Got a nice bottle of wine for tonight so that may help too Grin

mama31 · 12/10/2013 17:16

Choccy I had that last month, 3 days before af I had spotting but only when I checked my cervix nothing on pantyliner. I was hopeful but then af came! I think taking b6 reduced my usual spotting to even less spotting. But if af stays away for another day or 2 then you never know it could be a bfp!! Just I got my hopes up so much then was so shocked at af arrival :( but everyone is different and it's so hard to know.

VJONES1985 · 12/10/2013 17:20

Fingers crossed to you guys!

Anyone know if it's normal to have lots of clear cm on 3dpo? I didn't have this for my last two cycles but I guess I'm still settling down after the pill so don't know what's 'normal' and what isn't.

mama31 · 12/10/2013 17:22

Lucy best to get checked out to be on the safe side!!! And enjoy your wine, that always helps!

Sorry mrswalsh and others who af got :( good luck for the next bus!!

Wow seems to have slowed up on the bfp front....would love to hear some more good news!!!

allchatnicknamesgone · 12/10/2013 17:40

Vjones - last cycle at 2dpo I had an absolute huge glob of clear cm (sorry for tmi!). This month I didn't and my creamy cm kicked in pretty early.

I can always rely of the EWCM to let me know when I O, but the rest of the cycle after O just seem to change every month.

I for one definitely would not read anything into Cm after ovulation. Some women reports loads and other report being bone dry.

I'm firming trying to keep my feet on the ground as we all know how these symptoms trick us!

I'm 8dpo. I feel so bloated and keep cramping, but in reality it's probably because I scoffed loads of bad food followed by treacle pudding last night and the cramps are just early AF that I know I get every month. I tell myself this. I write this. But there is still that naughty bit of my brain that says 'what if'....... The 2ww is TORTURE.

Sorry for all AF suffers. Sat night bottle of plonk.
Lucy. Hope your funny feelings pass.

onefunkymama · 12/10/2013 17:43

Here and hanging on, utterly confused as to what's going on but about to start DTD again, no idea on dates or anything likeat following mc. OPK positive now but could be left over HCG. Oh well, no harm in seducing him eh!

jaykay987 · 12/10/2013 17:48

Lucy - hope that pain goes away. Enjoy the wine!

Vicky - that might be a side effect of vit b, as it increases your cm?

Choccy - fingers crossed that's all good signs

So I have a confession.....despite really trying not to, I am seriously symptom spotting. I am still confused whether I am 3dpo (based on what I think was ov pain) or 8dpo which is what FF thinks based on my temps. I didn't trust it, as I got my peak CB OPK the day after FF's ov date (but Ff knows that).
So I promised myself no testing until next Saturday and no symptom spotting. But.........
I had (sorry tmi) what I can only describe as a glob of cm twice today. About the size of a 50p. A bit like EWCM in texture, definitely jelly like. But is not clear. It's darker, cloudy, maybe yellow ish? Anyone had this?

Also looking at my chart, the pains I got which I thought were ov, could have been implantation? I thought dpo5 would be too early?

I feel cold, but DH keeps commenting on how hot I am to the touch. He tried to cuddle me earlier (which I hate to turn down as he isn't a cuddly guy!) but my boobs hurt so badly, I had to move him.

Im trying not to get my hopes up, but along with having to go for a nap as Im so tired this afternoon and constantly running to the loo.....I can't help but think "what if"?!

So, if you were me.......when should I tell myself is the absolute earliest I can test? Not sure Ill hold out to next Saturday, so wwyd?

jaykay987 · 12/10/2013 17:50

Sorry all chat - cross post. Made me laugh you also used the word glob! Smile
It's difficult to avoid the "what if" isn't it? (I cannot believe how similar our posts are that we wrote at the same time!)

m33r · 12/10/2013 17:51

On cycle 11 and been all over the place but last month went from a 40 day to 32 day cycle but due to EWCM luckily caught ov despite very early appearance. Now, based on 32 day cycle due to ov on weds but got loads of EWCM this aft. Did opk and got possible pos (hard to tell with the lines and I didnmt save the wee to stick a cb digi in). So thinking I'm maybe ov-ind tomorrow.

I was feeling really down and hopeless and thinking we couldn't do it but now I think, what if this is me finally settling after the pill... And it's our time! Most hopeful I've felt for a long time... Or am I setting myself up for another fall??

Just heard an acquaintance on the pill who took an antibiotic is pg; are you flipping kidding me!?!?!!! ON THE PILL!!!! Bah!

lucyfluff · 12/10/2013 17:53

I had that jaykay...right before bfp. But not as much...I dont really take much notice of my ecwm etc but because it was a bit yellowy I noticed it Shock

I probably being a paranoid crazy loon but hope this nagging pain goes away! Do you think its too early to ovulate? just had a little check and cant even feel cervix?! ov pains maybe....arghhhhh!!!

JellyBeanDavey · 12/10/2013 17:54

Hello ladies.

Just popping my in to see the bfps (congrats Smile) and see how everyone is doing? And gilly? How is she?

I'm fairly happy. Been using my cbfm and been getting highs since cd6 (now cd15) which when i googled it, is normally for the first cycle on cbfm. But I started using a dual hormone a couple of days ago and first 1 I got was a clear circle. Then this morning and this afternoon I got flashing smileys. Grin Hurray! This could be good news. Fx Grin

m33r · 12/10/2013 17:55

jaykay do you know when your BFP is due using FF? I think wait until then to test! It sounds promising but try to wait if you possibly possibly can... Bbs sore I think is the biggest sign. Once never had it at all and always look for it. So sore that you're throwing DP off. That's got to be something??
