I thought i'd hopped on here already but must not have done as I'm not on the list. I neeeeed some words of wisdom/realism! Posted this on another thread too but no one has replied :(

Wasn't really ttc in Nov, only dtd once last month and that was the day before my af on 3rd Nov (hence why i'm doubting i could be pg at all). I'm usually 28/29 day cycle and i'm still waiting... I also had tiny bit of spotting on 20th nov. I tested twice (once before I was late and again when I was a couple of days late) both bfn. Is it poss that i could wait it out and get a bfp or unlikely??

Not had any af symptoms either. So confuuuused. Anyone got any thoughts? It's driving me mad!

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 18:14

Awwww lucyfluff dont worry. Ill be thinking of you wed 9am on the dot! It wasnt too bad going under. I liked it actually! But fx for you it wont be like mine. Are you sure they wont see if your pregnant? I thought they would have. Just tell em youve been trying and think the pain could be pregnancy so they take a look for you ;) there you go a big free preggers test for you! Lol

Hibou have you recently come off contracetive pill or anything? It could be that thats delaying your af...

Hibou7688 · 08/12/2013 18:27

I came off in july, but even still all AFs since coming off had been regular. Is it possible that they could've unsettled after being 'normal' for the last few months??

lucyfluff · 08/12/2013 18:29

LOL babyspice!! I will say we have been trying but it would be so early wouldnt it. The earliest scan Ive ever had was 6wks. To be honest I just want everything to look normal down there Smile

Hibou could it be you ov'ed later so bfp not due yet??

Hibou7688 · 08/12/2013 18:34

I have been testing with opks and got a positive on 10th nov.. So a week after af started. Before this I was testing around 14 days after af but only getting negatives and someone on mn suggested maybe i ov earlier and it seems that way (for nov at least!)

Wish this was more straight forward!

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 18:43

Oh yeah lucyfluff thinking about it, it may be too early to see a pregnancy through the scan. Glad I made you laugh though ;) still keeping my fx for your health though. Xxx

Hibou maybe you are pg and tests just not showing it yet if you ovulated on those days. Either that or af is late? I really dont know lovely. Maybe book to see the docter?

Hibou7688 · 08/12/2013 18:49

Thanks ladies, i feel silly asking because i know no one will really have an answer but good to just vent or see if other's have been in similar situation. Hmmm i will wait another week and hopefully I'll either have an af Xmas Sad or a bfp! But i'll know then either way at least :)

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 19:04

hibou dont feel silly for asking, we all do it. Its nice to hear other peoples experiences and help the best we can xxx

Science why r u nervous? I thought you had a bfp? Are you taking a digi just to make sure?

BunnyBaby · 08/12/2013 19:04

Hello ladies, congrats on all the BFPs and enjoying following all the stories about weddings etc.

Still on 2ww and have had a BFN with DS2 when I tested 3 says early due to root canal, and then found out I was pg just after, so I'm not an early test success girl. So keep holding out hope you late-y girls :-)

Would usually wait until 3 days late to test but dh's Christmas party is that night, so may test on the day. If af is on her way I would start spotting on the Thursday, so not long to go.

Have a good eve, took both ds's to see Disney's Frozen and they loved it, I cried at story, lovely songs etc. What I really loved was that this was about 2 feisty females for a change

ScienceGeekGirl · 08/12/2013 19:12

I did get a BFP this morning but guess I keep wondering if it's a dodgy batch etc and just want to see it in words and I'll believe it a bit more. Silly I know

Missvaughan85 · 08/12/2013 19:26

Science I feel the same way, might bring out the digi in the morning. I've got this dull ache and full feeling low down, can't remember my first pregnancy so feeling a little overwhelmed at the minute x x

babyspice2501 · 08/12/2013 19:39

science and missv fx for you both tomorrow then. At least with a digi its a straight forward yes or no. Good luck!

BexBoo12 · 08/12/2013 20:37

Evening everyone! Lots to catch up on!!! Huge congratulations to those with bfp's!! Very exciting news. I'm so pleased for you all Grin xxx

Hope everyone else is doing ok? Here, have a hot chocolate x

Can I ask, on what CD do people usually start using IC opks?

barmybunting · 08/12/2013 20:43

Congratulations MissV & Science!

Science, fx for you. I totally understand the nerves!

MissV, I am very happy to see that BFP from you after a few days ago. It's brilliant to see more BFPs today!

Hibou, I'm sorry, where on earth have you disappeared to on the stats? I will add you again in a second. I hope you get a change that shows up a BFP soon. Fx for you!

barmybunting · 08/12/2013 20:47

LH and Thisis good luck for when you test again!

barmybunting · 08/12/2013 20:49

Didyeaye - thank you, that makes sense. I'm really hoping it isn't that, but I think it must be in all honesty or I have miscalculated ov. Who knows at this stage! Time will tell I guess.

Sleepingstarsmommy · 08/12/2013 20:52

Can I hop on the bus too? I've got lots of Cake to share.

Congrats to all those who already have their December BFPs!!

This will be my 5th pregnancy, have had 3 miscarriages and then my son was still born Sept 29th. Have the go ahead from consultant to try again, so fingers crossed this will have a happier ending.

So if someone can update the stats to include me?

Sleepingstarsmommy ttc#2 cycle 1 BFP due Dec 27th.

Sleepingstarsmommy welcome to the December bus.
I am so terribly sorry to hear about your previous miscarriages and the loss of your precious little boy.

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 21:06

Bex I started using the cheap ic ov tests on about day 6 as I wasn't sure when I ov'd and I got a strong line on cd8 so I did a cb and got a smiley face!! I was surprised it was so early.....looks like I'm in for a short cycle this month!! I will probably carry on testing this week with the cheap tests just to be sure Grin

spinningirl10 · 08/12/2013 21:08

Sleepingstarsmommy.....I am so very sorry for your losses Thanks

Welcome to the bus and I really hope you get a bfp soon and a healthy pregnancy

Sleepingstarsmommy · 08/12/2013 22:06

Thanks slimming and barmy.
Every time we have tried before we get our BFP on our first cycle. Have had no problem getting pregnant just staying pregnant.

Currently on cd10 and POAS but no smiley face yet. But will be attempting to dtd every day for the next week or so. DH had better make the most of it as there will be no dtd post BFP for us.

bronya · 08/12/2013 22:18

I have a bfp with a poundworld test. Will test with a clearblue some time this week to be sure, but am cautiously optimistic!

LittleOwlie · 08/12/2013 22:40

Ooh lots to catch up on. Just seen your BFP, Bronya...congratulations!!

I've had a lucky day! Managed to get a CBFM on Freecycle! DP was just about to pay for a one online, as I found out. Bought some sticks for it too so all ready to go for the next cycle. AF hasn't appeared yet, and this bus is so lovely I'll hang about a bit for some more lovely BFPs before jumping over to the Jan one.

BexBoo12 · 08/12/2013 23:15

Congrats Bronya! X

Thanks Spinning, I'm CD8 today so will start using them tomorrow. Hope I haven't left it too late!!

Sleepingstarsmommy welcome to the bus x I'm so sorry for your losses, here, have a lovely mulled wine and take a seat, we are a friendly bus and we will all take care of you. Good luck this month xx
