Newbie784 · 28/10/2013 12:33

Hi Sazzle, I really don't know if it is AF or not now as cramps have gone away too.

My cycles vary between 28 and 32 days however this is the first month I have used opk's. I got my positive on cd19 so if this is my 32 day cycle then yes it is too early but not if it's my 28 day cycle and I may have a short lp - I just don't know!

I normally get really painful cramps and backache on first day of AF but then nothing for the rest of her visit. Also first day is normally really heavy and this is nothing like what I would normally get.

Just terrified of getting my hopes up again only to be disappointed-not sure if I can cope with it twice in one day! Lol

Best of luck to you sazzle for your Bfp - all of you 11 cyclers really deserve it! Xx

keepswimming1 · 28/10/2013 12:33

Its so annoying how af messes with our heads isn't it, my period last month has left me feeling that 'maybe I could just be'. I'm refusing to test now, want to wait to see if I ovulate (which I don't think I have yet) I have had ewcm so maybe I'm not after all!! oh dear... I drive myself insane

good luck all :)

m33r · 28/10/2013 12:46

Thanks panic. All my symptoms are gone and no EWCM at all... Hoping this doesn't mean I'm out. Myopathy felt very grainy this morning and last night I dreamt I was eating fruit covered in sand ... Is grainy mouth the most desperate 'symptom' ever!?!

sazzle we're doing this this month! It will be the triple for the 11-monthers!

newbie hang in there.

m33r · 28/10/2013 12:47

Sorry 'myopathy' should've read 'my mouth' !!!

sazzlehopes · 28/10/2013 12:51

I'm driving myself mad too. The temptation to test is HUGE! I have to rush to force myself to go wee just so I can't collect it and test like a maniac all day.

Newbie all very odd. Maybe if you have no more spotting or blood for 2 more days you could try and test then? You thought you might be due Af today then like me? So how many dpo are you now ignoring the spotting you've had?

Haha swimming you sounds like me! Hope this month is better for you. And thanks for the kind message. I already have one child, so yes 11 cycles is long ttc#2, but I do feel for all the people ttc#1. x

keepswimming1 · 28/10/2013 13:05

Unless I ovulated without the pain this month then I might still have a chance. but I'm probably out now until the new year - maybe that's why I've gone insane, I'm pinning all my hopes on this cycle lol

Newlywed2013 · 28/10/2013 13:33

Still negative and no AF
maybe I am still not back to being regular after implant

Newbie784 · 28/10/2013 13:48

Thanks for the support ladies.

Sazzle - ignoring the spotting I would be 10dpo today and my cycles are 28-32 days long so due between today and Friday. Still just the tiniest amount of spotting but only when I wipe. I've also need to go more often today but that may be due to being on knicker watch! Lol Yes if no more spotting or if it doesn't get heavier I will test on Thursday. I don't normally get spotting will is odd just get full force AF (sorry tmi)!

Good luck sazzle and M33r - it comes in 3's as they say so hopefully you'll both be joining panic!

sazzlehopes · 28/10/2013 13:59

Ok working from home is crap as there is easy access to IC and no one to stop my madness. Bfn on IC.... AF is due today - no sign of her yet.
I will wait and see and do another tomorrow perhaps. I'm 13dpo.

sazzlehopes · 28/10/2013 14:04

I've decided I'm going to go out with a bang. If AF doesn't show by thursday 31st I'm treating that halloween witch to the cb diggie. Watch this crazy lady space

Newbie784 · 28/10/2013 14:17

I'm in the same boat as you sazzle - working from home is not your friend in this situation.

Fingers and toes crossed for your Bfp on Thursday!

sazzlehopes · 28/10/2013 14:29

Newbie, thanks! It's so bad working from home - it means I'm easily distracted on here and can google all my symptoms without any one seeing what I'm up to! I need help...or a parental block searching for certain pregnancy related things. It also means time goes slowly when it is only yourself for company!

JellyBeanDavey · 28/10/2013 15:16

Sazzle - I did and it was bfn but I think it's too early anyway. My last cycle was 70-something days so I doubt it's going to jump straight to a normal period. 1 month left and ttc will be over til next year :(

flymo79 · 28/10/2013 15:30

aw, ladies, I hope you're all ok in this blustery weather. I find it so distressing, loads of fences down and our greenhouse is totally mullered. WAH! also having af means my sleep is doubly-messed up, they are really heavy for me and I'm always up in the night. Anyway, loving hearing your stories, loving the attitude sazzle, I'll keep an eye out on halloween for your witch-bashing!!

Missvaughan85 · 28/10/2013 16:58

Newlywed how long have you been off bc?? Mines 4 months now, first two months perfectly normal on time af's last month 4 days late and now 2 days late so far.

I'm left wondering whether I'll now have to start looking at longer periods and ttc.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 28/10/2013 16:59

How are the last few of us ladies doing? I'm on cd28 of a potential 29 day cycle... No pink cm or spotting yet or AF cramps but I did have a BFN with a FRER on cd26 so I'm not holding my breath. Last cycle I'd started to get AF signs by now and came on properly on cd29. My boobs are so tender today but that's also normal for AF. I hate all this waiting! Good luck to everyone else.

VickyVix · 28/10/2013 17:14

Hi Ladies

Just popping my head in to see how you're all getting on. It sounds like there Are some positive things going on! I am sure there are going to be some more BFPs before this bus pulls into the station :)

jellybean re having lots of CM, I had that just before my BFP and it has continued (still have it) so fingers crossed it's a sign for you Grin

newbie was thinking it could be implantation? I had what I think was imantation on 11th and then got BFP on 14th so hang in there.

Good Luck to all of you!!

jbiscuits · 28/10/2013 17:35

Hi Ladies,

I've been absolutely awful at keeping up with everything on here, and have been away for the last week so that's not helped. Am currently on cd32 with no sign of AF (last two cycles after coming off the pill were 26 and 31 days) so looking hopeful!

I've sent DH to Sainsburys on his way home from work for a few bits of food, and instructed him to buy a test for me. Not sure how he'll cope with that, but expect him to be using the self-service checkouts if he can!

Good luck to everyone else still left here!

m33r · 28/10/2013 18:31

sazzle was it FMU? I would not be able to resist working from home. Fortunately I'm at conference for next two days so very distracting; that will take me to Thursday. I know its 31st but I'm staying on this bus til Saturday and testing then. My BFP is on the October bus ... Even if it's November!!!!' I'm determined!

swimming why you out to new year? Sorry if you've already said.

newbie sounds like you're still in but can take a while to regulate. Hoping you're right about lucky 3s!

Kemie · 28/10/2013 18:38

Well there seem to be changes with 'down there' to suggest The witch is on her way! Normal discharge (sorry tmi) now reddening up! Gutted, after the bitch let me get my hopes up! Halloween Angry

mama31 · 28/10/2013 18:47

M33R if you get your BFP in November- I want to see your name on both Oct and Nov buses!!! Haha! I'd love to see you as the 1st bfp for November!!!!! :)

mama31 · 28/10/2013 18:48

Sorry kemie :( hugs to you!!!

Newbie784 · 28/10/2013 18:53

Thanks Vicky, well my spotting has now stopped (had none since this afternoon) so I don't know what to think. My hopes are rising again-I just hope it's not false hope!

I don't have AF cramps but I feel something there it doesn't hurt just feel something. I'm sure it's all in my head! Lol

Newbie784 · 28/10/2013 18:56

Thanks m33r-I'm sure I'll be right about the 3's! Smile Well AF would normally be in full force for me now if it was CD1 as I've never had spotting before so I'm hanging into this bus!

I'm also staying put until Sat on the Oct bus before testing-unless AF comes back to get me first!

Good luck ladies-let's get a few more Bfp for this bus before the month is out! Fx for everyone! X x

jbiscuits · 28/10/2013 19:03

Sorry to hear that Kemie.

Well I can add one more BFP Newbie! DH came home about an hour ago and I just POAS...BFP! Can't believe it! It's my birthday today so this is the best birthday present ever! Grin
