lh I'm poas tomorrow with a cb digi it's all that's left in bathroom tomorrow at 2 week's late for af, depending on outcome might get a frer

PunkyPod · 02/01/2014 18:18

Bump. I has negative yesterday and this morning in internet cheapy but did a first response just coz I felt like dunking another stick and got a strong positive. AF due today so you still have every chance Smile

LH1981 · 02/01/2014 18:26

Oooh good luck ginger!! How do you feel?

I'll do the other FR with fmu tomorrow but not holding out much hope. If bfn then I'm going to wait 2 weeks as if it's a new cycle (unless AF shows up first)

mum2kiss · 02/01/2014 18:32

Uh oh af symptoms are slowing creeping in this afternoon. Not looking like January will be my month :( oh well it aint over until its over I guess!

BumpNGrind · 02/01/2014 18:34

Ohh Punky thank you and Congratulations, what a start to the new year. I have a FRER and I think I'm going to wait until Saturday morning. By then I'll be 12dpo so can hopefully see a bfp!

Flukewoman · 02/01/2014 18:43

Punky congrats!

Just to add to the madness about AF arrival, I distinctly remember feeling crampy and AF like with #1, but tested on the off chance before a weekend away and was amazed to get a BFP. It really isn't over until AF arrives in full. (Not sure this is helpful for sanity but it's true!)

lorelie · 02/01/2014 18:46

I am TTC #1 since beginning of September. I kind of thought it would have happened by now? I know 4 months is no time at all but my best friend started trying at the same time and she fell pregnant at the beginning of November. Have started to use opk as since coming off of the pill my periods have been totally unpredictable, shortest cycle 25 days, longest 52! Seeing doctor nw as not sure if I may have endometriosis. So tired of waiting now, just want that bfp!

Gingerpanther27 · 02/01/2014 18:48

lh I feel very similar to how I did with ds. I've got really sore boobs, and I'm been very emotional, absolutely no feeling of af but keep thinking it has and I'm a lot more hungry and better sense of smell so to me it's pointing to pregnant. Oh and I keep getting pissy with dp Blush Does that sound stupid?

Fairypants · 02/01/2014 18:49

Hi, ok if I hop on board?

Fairypants ttc #3, cycle 4 post mc, BFP due 9th jan

I was on the busses in the spring /summer and got my bfp in early aug but mc at 10+2 in sept and I'm still getting to grips with my cycle as the mc has lengthened my lp. we gave it a damn good try this month thoughGrin

Congratulations on the bfp's already this month (sorry I'm on my phone and can't remember your names.) I'm hoping they keep rolling inSmile

Gingerpanther27 · 02/01/2014 18:54

Oh and I'm going off my fags Hmm Shock

LH1981 · 02/01/2014 18:55

Sounds promising ginger! Will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Not sure if I'm imagining my symptoms. Definitely crampy and have weird 'popping' sensations prob just gas

Welcome fairypants! Sorry to hear of your mc, lots of baby dust to you this cycle xx

mum2kiss · 02/01/2014 18:59

Thanks fluke !

I got a real sharp electric shock type pain in my tummy earlier...lasted about a second but made me cry out! Then this late afternoon im get lots of gurgly gassy type sensations which usually means af is imminent! Now I just want to poas and get it over with!

Choccywoccydodah · 02/01/2014 19:02

Bump that website is fab Smile
I posted it on last months bus as it gives you such a great insight of what's going on inside you. But yes, very graphic!!

Ginger, sounds positive Grin

BumpNGrind · 02/01/2014 19:23

Isn't it interesting Choccy! I found it be a random google search the other day and have already found out more about how my body works than I ever did in school. The cycles shown seem to indicate a bigger gap between the first sighting of ewcm and ov. I thought that they were at exactly the same time!

Ooh ginger, that's a good sign!!

barmybunting · 02/01/2014 19:26

Gosh that website is graphic! Thank you bump, brilliant explanation on there. I've never really got my head around cervix checking, so hoping that is going to help!

Hi fairypants and welcome aboard. Sorry to hear about your MC. I hope this is the bus for you for your sticky bfp!

This is feeling like a long month for some reason... I have refused to use any opks etc this month as I was getting a bit sick of them, so I have no idea when I am oving. Currently CD17, dtd every 2 day since about cd6 and the theory is to continue with that for a while yet. But I have ovulated as late as cd43 previously, this could be a long wait! I think DH will be running away soon...

barmybunting · 02/01/2014 19:28

ginger and lh good luck for tomorrow! It's an absolute nightmare waiting that long to get AF or a bfp, I feel for you. To give you some hope, a friend of mine told me last week that she is pregnant. BFP only appeared on cd56 for her, af was about 3 weeks late from what she can work out before she got a bfp!

mum2kiss · 02/01/2014 19:32

Cd 56!!!! She must have been close to insane!!

LH1981 · 02/01/2014 19:42

Might be clutching at straws but from reading up on forums it seems it's not that uncommon for a bfp to only show after 5 or 6 weeks pregnant. Some women simply do not produce enough of the hormone to register in the early days.

Fingers crossed!!

MrsF2510 · 02/01/2014 20:12

Annoyingly the spotting became full AF today! Boo! Good news is that assuming a 28/29 day cycle I can stay on this bus but am now at the very back with MrsF2510 ttc #1 cycle 2! Hope others have better luck than me x

LH1981 · 02/01/2014 20:16

Aww Mrs boo!!

Treaclepie19 · 02/01/2014 20:26

lorelie I know how you feel. Had the same with my best friend. She had one extra cycle TTC to ne and is pregnant. I know we haven't officially been trying that long but finding it hard when she has conceived straight away.

Sorry to hear AF got you MrsF :(

Nordicmom · 02/01/2014 20:27

Congrats broody and punky! And sorry for your mc fairy , been there a lot ...
So I think i'm 6 d early today if cycle 28 like last couple of months and I tested early with fr again like last month. Didn't expect anything this early anyway but it's still annoying . Feeling so pessimistic about all of this now in general with my history but thought I should give it a try first before IVF . Wonder what my hormone levels are nowadays and my egg count since they were lower for my age a few years ago already when trying for DD. the IVF process is pretty taxing and expensive though so rather not go there again if a miracle happened . I had DS naturally so it is possible . in general feel really blaaah, I wish I could feel I was done with 2 so wouldn't have to do this to myself again but I don't want to have regrets in 10 y when it definitely too late !
Good luck to us all with this cycle !

barmybunting · 02/01/2014 20:51

mum amazingly enough, she said she wasn't! She had tested at various points up to cd30, went away with work for about 14 days and tested again when she got home. Still bfn. At that point she said she gave up hope and was just poa ic daily for the joy of it, bfn cd55, very faint line at cd56! Dr has checked and all seems to be well so far, just didn't show up! There is hope until af shows up.

mum2kiss · 02/01/2014 21:07

wow that's crazy! Well i guess there's still hope for me yet!

Choccywoccydodah · 02/01/2014 21:41

Mum2kiss, what cd are you on.
I found out with ds on cd40, I wasn't charting then so I don't know when I ov'd but it was a bloody long wait!
