Hi everyone! I'm going to jump on the bus!

So TTC #1 on cycle 2. BFP due 28th dec!

Congrats to those with their BFP! Great news! Fingers crossed for everyone else!!

DichotoMous · 05/12/2013 21:55

I have just spent far too long looking at other ladies' peed-on sticks discovered this website. It's worryingly addictive but at least it takes your mind off your own POAS!

Hoping for lots of bfp's today.....come on ladies....get pee'ing and good luckGrin

Welcome Regina...we're a crazy lot!

Dichto...I've done that before....I've looked at the dates past ov to see how early you can see a bfp!!

We eventually dtd last night, when we stopped laughing!!! Was one of those nightsWinkGrin

DichotoMous · 06/12/2013 07:08

Well I've popped my poas cherry this morning (3 days before AF) and bfn. In a way it was nice to get my first time over and done with Wink Not testing again unless I'm late.

Good luck to everyone else testing today!

spinningirl10 · 06/12/2013 07:14

Dichoto....sorry to hear that but it could be too early, fx af doesn't show up!

The fire is roaring at Mamas poas party.....very cosy. Don't forget to check in there for a bite to eat and a mulled wine or hot choccie Grin

SoMuchFruit · 06/12/2013 08:07

Wow, loads has happened in a few days!

Congrats Polka that's fab Thanks the symptom rundown is interesting too, thanks for that.

Bex - that's fabulous! We got married in Gretna Green too, it was fabulous. Loved it. We got married in the registry office and then went to a lovely old country hotel outside Ecclefechan. It was a glorious, non-regular occasion. I was 7m pg and wore red! Then we had a big party on a Catamaran on a Fjord when we got back for all our family that didn't do the Scotland bit Grin

I hope your day is amazing and you have your BFP too. Have everything crossed for you Smile

Nothing happening here, still. Enormo boobs but they happened last time too. Prob just gearing up for AF to arrive. Due Sunday. Nothing else to report at all.

As a different kind of Symptom spotting, what are everyone's AF symptoms ? Wondered if we had that whether we could decide if it's AF or a possible pg that we are spotting ?

SoMuchFruit · 06/12/2013 08:10

Sorry to hear about the BFP Dichto .. also have FX for you that it's just a bit early.

I'll start with the PMS symptoms (that I try NOT to read as pg symptoms!)

Enormo-boobs
Narky about a week before
Some small cramps from about 3 days before.

That's it really. No spotting, she just shows up. Usually almost to the hour (between about 11am and 2pm) .

BexBoo12 · 06/12/2013 08:24

Aww thanks SoMuch, I'm ridiculously excited. We are also getting married in the register office, followed by a meal in a little country pub. Just the two of us...perfect.

Got my finders tossed that AF stays away on Sunday! Xx

BexBoo12 · 06/12/2013 08:25

Haaa!!!! Sonnets fingers strike again...finders tossed = fingers crossed!!

BexBoo12 · 06/12/2013 08:25

And again! Sonnet fingers = dobber fingers!

ThisIsMeNow · 06/12/2013 08:30

Morning! Well I had a very weird pain in the night, like a really pinpointed pain really low down. Woke me up and everything. Was utterly convinced Af had started so peed (not on a stick or in a pot, oh no, down the toilet!! Shock) and when I wiped, nothing!! Washed my hands and had a little feel and cervix is sooo smooshy and soft and not a drop of blood to be seen.
So, that's all good news but I've pissed down the loo! That's my fmu gone! So how long before I can pee again and I NEED a drink, I'm gasping! Obviously don't want to dilute it so any one know what I should do?

Still having Af feelings tho so not holding out too much hope just yet.

spinningirl10 · 06/12/2013 08:59

Thisisme....ah how annoying for you!!! I got a bfp without fmu so I would say have a small drink and try and wait a couple of hours then poas Grin

lucyfluff · 06/12/2013 09:27

mmmmm where are the ladies testing?? are you too excited to update lol!!!

Ive woken up feeling very this isnt our month...not sure why just dont feel any sympyoms at all!!!!

spinningirl10 · 06/12/2013 09:37

Hi Lucy, I'm waiting for testing updates too!

No symptoms don't mean you can't get a bfp but I get how you feel!
I just did an opk test and no smiley face so after yesterday's I think we may have missed our chance really Hmm we dtd last night and will again for the next couple of days but I wish we'd dtd more at the beginning of the week!! Oh well at least I'm now aware that I need to use the opk earlier in my cycle!!Grin

SoMuchFruit · 06/12/2013 09:44

Nothing seems to be a theme this month Lucy and Spinning .. here too. I am calmly resigned to having AF arrive on Tues. Not sad or anything - just.. nothingy.

Cherieblossom · 06/12/2013 09:47

Ladies
AF is due in 5 days but am feeling nauseous and VERY
Emotional.
Took a FRer but got a BFN
I guess I am just pms-ing..
Really annoyed at myself for not waiting to test.
Like someone said here once, I peed on a 5 £ note lol
Anyway good luck to all and let's all do loads of shagging over Xmas
X

spinningirl10 · 06/12/2013 09:49

Oh somuch we're not a very happy bunch this morning are we!

I think we should crack open some bubbly, just for the hell of it, get our party frocks on and have some fun!!Grin

lucyfluff · 06/12/2013 10:19

I know spinning! Its odd! oh well maybe nothingness is a symptom for all of us Wink

Im off shopping to cheer myself up now Grin

BexBoo12 · 06/12/2013 10:34

Oh ladies, you all seem to be down in the dumps today. Bex is here to cheer you up. Here, have a glass of champers and a couple of strawberries dipped in chocolate. Just because we are posh. Now let's scoff the rest of the melted chocolate and have it drip down our chins just because we are not so posh Wink xx

spinningirl10 · 06/12/2013 10:52

Hehe Bex the champers and Choccy covered chin worked a treat! Just managed to dtd quickly before do went to workWinkGrin

spinningirl10 · 06/12/2013 10:53

do = dp

LittleOwlie · 06/12/2013 11:15

Hi Everyone, Popping on for a morning update.

Thisisme - oh no!! Hope you get some good news later today or tomorrow if you can wait.

Dichoto and Cherie - sorry you guys got a BFN this morning...but there's always hope til AF comes. It might be too early.

I would agree that we all seem a bit down in the dumps this morning. Maybe it's the weather or the dark mornings. Lucy and Somuch, I'm feeling a bit the same as you. Not really convinced of any symptoms (but I swing from having a million to having none) and thinking it's probably not our month. I know I'm being a bit of a misery. DP is being lovely and positive though, saying it will happen. But when you've been through infertility and divorce, it's hard to stay positive.

Anyhow, gonna pull myself together and grab a nice glass of bubbly and wait for some more lovely BFPs to arrive hopefully later today.
Oh and I defo want one of these!! Xmas Biscuit Xmas Grin

ThisIsMeNow · 06/12/2013 11:37

Well, still no Af. Just done a sainsburys test and pretty sure there's no line Sad
Dont really know what to think now. With dd I got my Bfp 3/4 days before Af was due. I'm just worrying now.
Will have to test again tomorrow am.

Cherieblossom · 06/12/2013 11:44

We are definitely down in the dumps this am!
Thanks for the champers and chocolates bex
A lovely spot has just surfaced on my chin..
The witch is definitely on her way

But to be fair we didn't dtd much around ovulation this month.
I am angling for a DD so dtd at day 10.
So basically am not surprised,

And the upside is we won't have an August baby (school).

So girls let's cheer up with some mulled wine, and at least we won't be feeling sick over Xmas.

Am I good at pretending to be happy not to be preggers or what?!?

Xxx

Nordicmom · 06/12/2013 13:27

So I foolishly went and used one of those early tests that says from 6 d before which is today even if it's a long cycle for me , no surprise a BFN . DH is pleading for me to just wait until next week but am going a bit mental here so no I won't wait but test until then . I've always gotten early positives and no sign of AF so arrrgh. Got a stinking cold to boot and can feel my right ovary where I ovulated from aching it's annoying me . Boobs , nausea, weeing, lower back and full feeling in my stomache come and go . This is torture :(
