Sparrowlegs248 · 21/10/2013 11:02

Thank you everyone. I'm feeling ok. A bit disappointed i don"t mind admitting. This means i have to use the opks i bought. Not keen on all that malarky but it will help to have more of an idea when i ov.

And thanks Laravh - she really did deserve it this month!!

Have hopped onto the number 11.

laravh · 21/10/2013 11:13

Oh bugger.. One of my posts didn't post!

Basically I'm hoping beyond hope that this is my month..
I had itchy nipples from 3-6dpo, my boobs have been tender and now are feeling heavy and look bigger (DH mentioned this morning)
Last night I had a weird feeling in my tummy.. A mild shooting pain. Today I've just checked my cervix and there's dark red blood, although none seems to be making it way out yet. I'm 11dpo and hoping against hope it's not early AF. I don't usually get spotting and I'm still not due for 6days. My lp is usually 15/16days....
Sorry for the garbled post but I can't start reeling this of to DH he'll think I've lost the plot!

ItsSoFluffyImGonnaDie · 21/10/2013 11:47

My temp this morning was back up to the same it was pre-dip, so I've literally had a one day dip. Spotting was very light brown this morning, hardly any discharge at all (sorry, tmi) when I checked about an hour ago. I lost my resolve this morning and tested, bfn but wasn't too surprised.

Notta sorry this wasn't your month, bring on november!

Spinningirl10 · 21/10/2013 13:06

I wasn't sure whether to post my news or not as I know I've only been around for a couple of days......anyway I couldn't wait for my tests to arrive from amazon and bought a frer test when I was in town and I got a BFP!!!!

I can hardly believe it.....because I'm older my doc said expect it to take upwards of 8 months to conceive!!

Sorry to those of you who have had a visit from af.....keeping everything crossed for you next cycle and maybe you can come and join me on the due in July bus.....good luck xxx

sazzlehopes · 21/10/2013 13:14

spinning - that is great news! Of course you should always post your bfp, it keeps my hopes up even if i do get a little envious!!

Come on then with the details...dtd days, dpo testing, when you ovulated and any symptoms you think my be helpful!!

Spinningirl10 · 21/10/2013 13:20

Ahh thanks sazzle, I would love to share but tbh I don't know when I ov'd!! My bf and I have been away for 2 weeks so just dtd when we wanted....which was most days!!

yesterday I asked on here about tracking my ov time so was going to start next month!

Since Friday I've been feeling really sick all the time and thought I was going down with a bug but yesterday I had an awful metallic taste in my mouth which made me wonder! Also I got out of bed to pee twice last night!!

Fingers crossed you get your bfp soon xxx

m33r · 21/10/2013 13:27

spinning hurrah! Always love a BFP! Cingrats! How old are you btw?

spinningirl10 · 21/10/2013 13:33

Thank you m33r

I'm 'whispers'.....41!!!

Fingers crossed all continues well xx

HalfPintLulu · 21/10/2013 13:56

Spinning big congratulations - that's great news!

What a lucky bus this is :D

I have lost all hope of being able to symptom spot this month as I have been re-diagnosed with my IBS.

Feeling sick, crampy tummy, feeling hot and bloated etc etc are all the major symptoms I am getting but are all symptoms of my IBS!

Boo!!! Suppose I'll just have to wait and see now - my cycle can be anywhere between 28-32 days and because i've not been temping/ doing opks i have no idea when i actually ov'd!
I'm between 3-10 dpo at a guess. :(

spinningirl10 · 21/10/2013 14:01

Thank you LuLu

Sorry to hear about your ibs....my sil suffers with it so I know how awful it can be. hope it improves for you soon and you get your bfp xx

sazzlehopes · 21/10/2013 14:11

i'm tempted to pee on an IC at only 7dpo tomorrow. someone slap me and tell me not to bother until friday...

HalfPintLulu · 21/10/2013 14:13

Lets do one together on Friday Sazzle :) we can have another party!

HalfPintLulu · 21/10/2013 14:15

my plan is to test Friday, then it that's a BFN, to wait until Tuesday and then test again (if AF doesn't show in the meantime)

laravh · 21/10/2013 14:16

Congratulations spinning! Yet more wonderful news!!

sazzlehopes · 21/10/2013 14:21

That sounds far more sensible halfpint. I will hold out for friday with you... I'm due I think Monday, so testing friday I'm sure will be the earliest. I may crack open a FRER on saturday in case too though as I'm going to a friends birthday and I want to know if I can enjoy myself or not!

Anyone else want to join the mini pee party on friday?

laravh · 21/10/2013 14:48

I might join you on friday sazzle and half pint... If af doesn't turn up beforehand!

allchatnicknamesgone · 21/10/2013 15:08

Just wanted to pop back to say how happy I am for you Jaykay

I'm a bit fed up now with trying to make a baby and when my 5 year daughter asked if she could have a baby sister on the escalator in John Lewis for her birthday, I had to do everything in my power not to weep.

I think that may be there is a lot to be said for 'not trying', so I think I'm not going to do OPK's or temp or even try and think if I'm ov. I'm going to push it to the back of my mind and just try and chill out. I think the last month was actually bad for my health!

Good luck to everyone left on this bus and for to those who's are going to crack in it November! xx

fluffythelabcat · 21/10/2013 15:36

Hi lulu sorry to hear about your IBS, I also get a bit of that and it does make symptom spotting difficult!! I have actually found mine is much better since I came off the pill which makes me think it might be partly hormone-related. I also have a lot of food triggers though. I hope you get some good treatment for it soon.

I think I will test Monday or Tuesday next week, AF is due on Tuesday but I had spotting from 4 days out last month so should have a pretty good idea by Monday. Might be persuaded to join in on Friday though just for fun!!

MrsB2013 · 21/10/2013 15:46

Spinning - Congratulations! I got my bfp at the weekend, due 1st July. I've joined the June thread already but will join you on the July one!

I don't know if this helped me get my bfp or not, but I stopped drinking coke at the beginning of this cycle and started drinking more water. I was also having an Actimel every day for the 1st 2 weeks then one whenever I remembered. My friend was trying for nearly a year then started having them, that month she got her bfp! Maybe our bodies need some extra vitamins etc before it happens?

spinningirl10 · 21/10/2013 16:29

Thankyou laravh and mrsB2013

It will be nice to have some company on the July bus :)

My tests from amazon just arrived so I did the digital clear blue one and it came up Pregnant 1-2!!!

Told my DP as well and he is so shocked but can't stop smiling!!!!

sazzlehopes · 21/10/2013 16:30

I am driving myself mad with thinking i can feel twinges in my lower belly. it's not all the time, every now and then. not painful either. is that anything or have i just finally lost it after ttc for 11 months!! i'm only 7dpo at the most...

jaykay987 · 21/10/2013 16:41

thanks allchat very kind.

hev19 · 21/10/2013 17:35

Just a quick update..... a bfn for me this morning after Sat eve potential implantation but AF isn't due for another few days so if I could join the Friday loss mini party that would be fab sazzle that is if I've not been kicked off the bus by the witch before then...... The only other symptom I have is peeing like a trooper although that could be down to nervous excitement..... Think it could be a long week....... Hmm

hev19 · 21/10/2013 17:36

*loss should be POAS stupid auto correct Blush

sazzlehopes · 21/10/2013 17:40

please do join us on friday hev19 - how many dpo are you? and what test did you use this morning?
I'm desperately holding off until friday. it is not going to be easy!
