Hiiiiiii. Just popping back in to say helllooooo.

barmy not sure if anyone else answered ur question Re delayed AF - has anyway had their cycle lengthen again after getting shorter/more regular in previous cycles post pill?

I did, mine went roughly 33, 34, 28, 39, 42, 42 n seems this one will be about 35 assuming 14 day LP.

Talking of the 2ww, this is the first time I've felt I've properly lost the plot! So many symptoms to imagine spot. Cramps really low down, sore/heavy boobs, feeling sicky and TONS of (TMI) yellowy watery cm. only 9dpo now tho...HELP!!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 08/12/2013 13:16

Spinninggirl, I think I'm on month 7 or 8 of trying, not sure because after month 6 I decided to relax a bit about it all as I was turning into a right nutcase. So if I get a BFN this month, then I get to enjoy a glass of wine or two over Christmas Xmas Smile

BecauseIsaidS0 · 08/12/2013 13:18

Didyeaye I've had all of those too...in fact on 4dpo I scared myself as I thought I was bleeding big time, because I had that sticky feeling...it was crazy cm! Blush.

LH1981 · 08/12/2013 13:29

Spinning think I'm going to wait a few more days, otherwise just throwing money down the toilet (literally!). So hopefully I can hold out until Tuesday/Wednesday.
Not got any symptoms really. Feel a little sicky but have that horrid cold bug going round so think it's that rather than anything more exciting! No sore boobs this month, no real cramps going on, nada!

Mama, I agree the festive season is a great distraction from it all. I've been far more chilled out this month too. SO hoping you get yours this month though xx

Didyeaye · 08/12/2013 13:36

Have you becauseI

That's reassuring, we're either v good at spotting these symptoms or we're both as bonkers as each other! Grin I have POAS their morning, a superdrug one, and convinced myself that when I invert/grayscale it on canyouseealine...I can actually see a line. But naaaa, think I am just imagining it!

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 14:06

thisismenow when are you going to test again?

ThisIsMeNow · 08/12/2013 14:07

I think tomorrow?

ThisIsMeNow · 08/12/2013 14:09

And whoever said about inverting- I've just found out how to do it on the iPhone and I'm pretty certain (or at least I've convinced myself!) that I can still see it when inverted...!!

Didyeaye · 08/12/2013 14:17

thisismenow it was me that said about inverting. Wellllll if you can see it inverted you know what that mean? POA(nother)S! Grin

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 14:36

Thisisme make sure you let us know! ;) fx for tomorrow!

ThisIsMeNow · 08/12/2013 14:37

I've just been googling and everything says blue tests are renowned for giving false positives as they ALWAYS leave blue dye Sad do looks like a false.
I think I'll wait and see if Af turns up this week before wasting any more money.
Thanks anyway.

LH1981 · 08/12/2013 14:45

thisisme blue as in clear blue??

ThisIsMeNow · 08/12/2013 14:55

Sainsburys blue dye test

KitKat1985 · 08/12/2013 15:20

Hello all. Just popping on to congrats to missV and Science. Grin Thismenow can you upload a picture so we can be nosy?

As for me, day 32, no sign of AF. Asked hubby to get me some pregnancy tests in the weekly shop which he did but bought digis at like £5 each so I don't want to waste them.... Only got a BFN yesterday so will try to hold out until about Tuesday before I poas again, unless obviously AF turns up first. Going a bit crazy now. Also just come back from Christmas shopping with hubby and I swear I've never seen so many babies in one shopping centre. Not helping my ovaries or insanity!

lucyfluff · 08/12/2013 15:25

Aww writer thats so lovely Smile glad all is well with your wriggly little boy. Cherish those magic moments they go too quickly! It sounds like the medics are looking after you well and at least with a CS you can plan dates etc. It seems to be flying by from when you first found out. Keep us updated on bump Grin

Mama!!!! Glad to hear from you again...miss your cheery chat! Hope you havnt been spending too much on xmas festivities lol Wink let us know how you get on later this week too xx

Good luck to all the ladies waiting for possible bfps im sure it wont be long before we get a few more.

Ive been feeling that stitchy ovary pain again today Sad convinced its a cyst as it comes and goes. Just pray its not stopping eggs coming out down there! will find out wed whats going on thankfully.

sazzlehopes · 08/12/2013 15:47

Science and MissV - wahooo - MASSIVE congrats to you both on your bfps...such lovely news to catch up on here today! And thanks for the dtd info, nice to see it varies between you for how much you both managed!!!

Owlie and spinning - yes I have a cbfm. I like it because i like to feel in control. my dh likes to know when I'm at my peak too - he's quite into the whole info part of it. after 12 months with no luck we decided to invest - it is not a miracle worker of course as i am not one of the lucky few to fall preggo after just one month, i'm in month 3 and after the initial cost of the machine don't find the sticks too bad. personally i'm happy to throw money at it for a while and if it doesn't work i see they have a pretty good re-sale value on ebay so not worried.

mama nice to see you popping in, festive hugs to you

writer glad to hear all is better. yes you will get a bit bored i'm sure being off work but safer for you and the babe i'm sure. maybe you need to take up a hobby - like knitting baby outfits to keep you busy!

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 16:08

lucyfluff I get ovary pain that comes and goes too if it makes you feel better. Its like a throbbing sort of pain everynow and then. Ive also had an ovarian cyst years ago and that was like stabbing pains that was very low down on my tummy area. What makes you think its a cyst? Have you had one before?

lucyfluff · 08/12/2013 16:29

Hi babyspice, oooo interesting re your symptoms compared to mine. My pain started after a chemical pregnancy in october, its on the left side (around ovary area), stabbing or just dull ache on/off. Havnt had it this cycle at all until last two days?!

The GP mentioned cyst but obviously not confirmed yet so thats all Im going on...it could be something else ?!

Did your cyst go away?

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 16:40

I had to have my cyst removed as it was growing rapidly and got to the size of a football/rugby ball. It was removed by operation and was early stages pregnant at the time so im lucky my little one survived the op. But thats how I found out I had the cyst. It was during my 12 week scan the docters noticed it! It was also an ovarian cyst but im all well now and hope I dont get it again. But I do get ovary pain which comes around the time of ovulation and just before af so fingers crossed its just the ovarie pain and not a cyst for you.
Good luck when you see your gp and let me know how you go!

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 16:48

Thanks for the info Sazzle, I might invest in one if nothing happens this cycle, as you say you can sell it on eBay after!

Thisismenow this waiting is so awful, fx you get your bfp next time you testGrin

lucyfluff · 08/12/2013 17:15

Oh babyspice...thanks for the info. I hope its not like yours, Im petrified of having any form of operation and going under...give me childbirth any day lol!!

I will deffo let you know wed, my scan is 9am Grin

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 17:39

Good luck with your scan Lucy, do you think they'll be able to see if you are pregnant? Grin

littlemissy1234 · 08/12/2013 17:54

Hi all, joined at the beginning then I've been a lurker since. I'm out this month - a bit annoyed as my cycles seem to have lengthened after my mc and my next ovulation is due on christmas day! The relatives may make for interesting bd fitting in!
Congratulations to all the bfps and good luck anyone still to test x

lucyfluff · 08/12/2013 17:55

Thanks spinning....I put a thread on asking the same thing but apparantly not! Seriously dont think I am this month though Sad

ScienceGeekGirl · 08/12/2013 17:57

Thanks for the congratulations from you guys. You have been wonderful mentors while I learnt what ttc actually involved. Knew pretty much nothing when I started. Very grateful to have mn and all you guys to moan to when things felt tough.

Starting to feel nervous. Have bought a digi for tomorrow. I know I should have started by now but not sure I actually believe it yet. I'm so silly.
