Thanks Sleepy! I pounced on DH as soon as he walked in... Now don't know wether to skip tomorrow or not! Argh!! Don't want to tire the poor man! I'll see what the OPK says tomorrow! If it flashes I'll skip a day!

Missvaughan85 · 04/12/2013 20:49

I'm not going to, I've been for a pee, I'm going to settle down on the sofa an watch my last two episodes of the Tudors. I've got a huge book that I want to read once it's finished, that'll take my mind off things, I'll catch up with all you girls tomorrow morning or Friday, depending in whether af arrives x x x thanks for the moral support x x x

Oh just spotted this thread ... I've been on the "buses" since August. BFP due Christmas Eve. Kind of lost hope a bit at the moment and have let my healthy eating / healthy lifestyle regime slip a bit too ... But you never know maybe Santa will bring me that BFP.

BexBoo12 · 04/12/2013 20:56

Barmy...in RL nobody knows!! Even my dog has been sworn to secrecy :-)

I'm very excited but very nervous of the reaction we will get!! My plan is to text everyone a photo of us both at our ceremony and send it to everyone in the evening wishing everybody a Happy New Year from Mr and Mrs BexBoo :-) I hope it doesn't backfire in my face and people get peed off!! Its not 100% certain yet - I posted our M10 forms and birth certificates special delivery today (paid £7 for guaranteed delivery tomorrow) and the slot is anyones until our forms are safely in the hands of the registrar tomorrow and we pay for it. So please everyone keep your fx for me! And if AF stays away, then I will POAS on that day, else if AF shows up on time, perhaps we could conceive on our Wedding Night!! Ha ha, I'm getting totally carried away now!!

BexBoo12 · 04/12/2013 20:57

MissVaughn...I'm dying to know, please poas now!! Are you definitely gioing to test in the morning if not tonight?

Lime19 · 04/12/2013 21:04

Know what you mean salty! I have lost hope. I have pcos and last 2 months have been normal (33 days and 30 days) I'm on day 33 and no sign of af. Had spotting a week ago, but didn't turn into af like it normally does. Taken 3 tests, all bfn of course. Keep having an awareness in my tummy, not pain as such but more like twinges. I went to dr this week and he is running a thyroid check next week. It seems that since stopping the pill my hair is falling out! If I don't laugh I will cry.

My pcos doesn't really cause me any issues other than periods awol and a teeny bit overweight, upper end of normal. No hair on body or acne.

I am trying to be healthy and hope that by shifting a few pounds will kick start something. Fingers crossed. I wish I could be more positive!

woodwaj · 04/12/2013 21:06

Good luck Bex I hope you get it! will you have a party or something afterwards?

Does anyone have any previous experience with implantation bleeding? I kicked myself off the bus earlier because of AF but it was only a bit of spotting around 12pm but nothing at all since?! im not getting my hopes up but any advice would be appreciated ! obviously going to the loo to check every 30 mins

BexBoo12 · 04/12/2013 21:14

Woodwaj...not right away as we are saving like crazy - we have not long bought our second house (we now rent the first one out) and we have spent a not-so-small fortune doing our current house up so we have spent all of our savings! Which means we no longer have a little money cushion for anything that crops up like a baby so, probably not for now, but will probably have a honeymoon in the summer (I'm a teacher so only summer holidays really any good for 2 week holiday) and maybe renew our vows in a big type wedding thing in a few years x

Lime19 · 04/12/2013 21:41

Haha so funny. The moment I posted (see above) my af came! I guess that's the January bus for me. Good luck ladies.

mammabear4 · 04/12/2013 21:54

Wow lots of talk since I checked in this morning!! Congrats to those with BFPs and eek bexboo that's so exciting!!!!!! I would LOVE to do something like that with DP but don't know if he'd go for it...
I'm now 4 days late for AF, did a test the night before last and got a BFN. I wish it would hurry up and arrive so it can be over and we can start trying again! DP works away so we're having to time things, starting using OPKs next cycle but have no experience of this so any advice/tips would be appreciated. I just ordered 50 off Amazon for £7 which seems very cheap but reviews say they're reliable! DP is home again in less than 2 weeks, can't wait ??

woodwaj · 04/12/2013 21:54

I have just moved house and it's costing us a small fortune to decorate. The estate agent fees wiped out my whole baby savings so I know exactly where your coming from!!

I hope you get the date Bex, that would be amazing! I reckon everyone will be delighted for you Smile. Do people know you are planning to get married at all, or is that a total surprise as well?
Enjoy the planning, it is brilliant fun!

Lime- Sorry to see that AF got you Sad! I hope that is your last one for a good 9 months though and January is the month for you!

Woodwaj - How many dpo are you just now? Do you normally have spotting at any previous point in your cycle?

I can't help re implantation bleeding I'm afraid apart from to say I kicked myself off the bus last Friday for the same reason at about 7-10dpo. I'm still sitting here waiting for bfp or AF so I'm hoping! Fx for you.

Failing miserably at not symptom spotting this 2ww... OV+1 and my nipples are very very very sore... But OV+1! I'm going to drive myself crazy this month ; )

ImaginaryHat · 04/12/2013 22:09

Hey ladies, just popping my head in to say hello. Been keeping a low profile as still having a bit of a nightmare here. Af turned up on time post chemical/mc but I'm still testing positive on hpt. The lines had got so faint they'd almost gone but the last 5 days they've got stronger again! Im worried that its happened again for the 2nd month running. We havent even dtd since we found out about the mc but we did dtd twice in between mc and first positive test. Been back for another blood test today so will see what that brings when i get my results on Fri. Argh!

Not caught up with lots of the thread but its exciting that some of you are getting ready to poas tomorrow, good luck ladies. Bex that sounds awesome about your wedding, hope it works out for you and you get the go ahead.

woodwaj · 04/12/2013 22:09

I have pcos so since the pill I have only had one natural period. Last 3 were all clomid induced! Its not normal for me. But neither is clomid so not wanting to take it for granted. I have a feeling I wont be hopping back on the bus!

Good luck to you too

spinningirl10 · 05/12/2013 07:28

Bex....that's so exciting, fx you get your slot!!

Imaginary....how awful for you, hope you get some answers from the doctor Thanks

DichotoMous · 05/12/2013 07:30

Me too spinning, I felt a little bit excited on other people's behalf when I woke up this morning!

lucyfluff · 05/12/2013 07:39

Oooooo hope we hear some bfp news this morning ladies....come on Im dying to hear Smile

Oh imaginary....what a pain!!!! You would have been super fertile so maybe it is a new pg?? il keep fingers crossed for you and let us know how you get on x

Bex that sounds exciting!!! You are one crazy lady sorting that out with no one knowing but I hope it all goes well for you and a bfp would be amazing too!!!

No news here other than bleeding gums...and yes I googled it as a symptom........today is going to be a long day lol Grin

barmybunting · 05/12/2013 07:47

Totally confused here! Still no sign of af, still feeling randomly dizzy but nothing else. I POAS first thing. Nothing at the 3 minute time you are supposed to read it at, went back 5 mins later and think there is the faintest sign of a line. But it is meant to be disguarded after 3 mins, and I reckon it's in my head. Dh is at work so no one else to check with either! Stupid tests!

I reckon it's nothing and af will most likely turn up soon. I guess it's wait and see!

woodwaj · 05/12/2013 08:09

Bfn and spotting again for me!

woodwaj · 05/12/2013 08:09

Good luck barmy!

barmybunting · 05/12/2013 08:13

Sorry woodwaj, I hope the spotting goes away and that it's too early for a bfp to show just now so you get one in the next few days.

OP posts:
spinningirl10 · 05/12/2013 08:18

Oooh Lucy, bleeding gums could be a good sign!!

Barmy....how frustrating! I think you need to do another test!!

Wood....fx af doesn't arrive!!

LittleOwlie · 05/12/2013 08:28

Sorry, Wood! Hope you get your BFP soon.

Barmy - fx for you! What type of HPT did you use? Sometimes the cheapies only ever give very faint lines.

Missvaughan85 · 05/12/2013 08:42

I've uploaded a picture but I don't think you can see anything I'm going to ignore it and wait until tomorrow x x
