I am ok MsS .. still lots of CM and a strange ache in lower abdo. Like I did loads of Ab Crunches and now muscles are stiff. I've had it a few days not. And the odd, sort-of-cramp. It's not really a cramp, more like stuff moving/tensing ?

Other than that I am fine. Bit nervous of MS arriving. With DS I was sick every minute of every day until about 16wks. Didn't have to be hospitalised but I was very poorly.

SoMuchFruit · 13/12/2013 12:51

Sorry to hear that Cotton

findingme · 13/12/2013 12:58

I'm out Sad. AF finally arrived (30 day cycle, previous longest ever cycle was 27 days). Congrats/good luck to everyone else, hope I don't see you on the January bus!

HollyBen · 13/12/2013 13:02

Congratulations to all the new BFPs and fx for darker lines faint liners! Lucy I can def see something on your pic.

Sleeping I have also had no positives with IC OPKs and still had a BFP. It was a few years ago and I think I was using FMU which I have learnt on here is not the right thing to do. I am cycle 1 post MC and thought I'd try them again - first day I had a faint second line (cd8) but nothing since (cd 13 today). I am trying to test twice a day so we will see what happens

BecauseIsaidS0 · 13/12/2013 13:54

Wow, December has really brought the BFPs!!!!

I'm CD27, 13DPO and after POAS-ing this morning I think I see the faintest of all lines...although I'm probably making it up. I've been spotting for the last three days.

It's very weird. I'm convinced I am preggers even though all the evidence points to the opposite.

laravh · 13/12/2013 14:14

i would update the stats but i have no idea whos out and dont want to forget any bfps off the list...
I'll start looking back..

BecauseIsaidso, I am totally with you on that one, being absolutely adamant you are pregnant. My mum would always tell you that positive thinking is the first step in achieving anything. If only I could just think myself pregnant I would be sorted by now but I do think it's relevant! Will you test again tomorrow? Fx for you!!

Thanks everyone, it's nice to be back on the thread for a bit of a boost Smile . My head feels like a very funny place with ttc. But what will be will be, and it's good to have you all to talk to in this madness. For now, I am very much looking forward to a very Christmassy weekend with the inlaws. My MIL insists on feeding us for Ireland, the fire is on and you are fed potatoes, mince pies, Baileys and Port until you can't roll out of the door. Maybe those blank tests are a sign to just enjoy that Smile .

Good luck to everyone testing this weekend!!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 13/12/2013 14:26

barmy, I've been testing every day for about a week now, so why not continue Xmas Grin. If this spotting is implantation bleeding, then it would make sense to start seeing a line from tomorrow or Sunday...it really is going to be quite confusing if AF arrives Xmas Confused

barmybunting · 13/12/2013 14:30

I really this is it for you because! I know that 'must poas' feeling! It'll be brilliant to see that line tomorrow or Sunday for you though, well worth all of the aiming at a stick! Wink good luck!!

barmybunting · 13/12/2013 14:31

Sorry because I mean, I really hope this is it for you. Random missing words in my post there.

spinningirl10 · 13/12/2013 14:43

Finnable....Congratulations Grin

And Lucy....Congratulations to you to....sorry I thought I'd said that earlier but was in a hurry so maybe forgot to hit post!! Grin Really hoping for a sticky bean for you xx

Sorry to those of you that af got Thanks

Congrats SMF and Lucy!!!!! Brill news!!! :) and any other bfp's I've missed congrats also!! This bus is fast moving and full of good news!!! Wonderful to see :)

Hope it's a sticky wee one Lucy xx

Writerwannabe83 · 13/12/2013 14:49

25 BFP's already!!!

This bus is madness!!! It's so exciting!!! Xmas Grin

Sleepingstarsmommy · 13/12/2013 15:05

Holly I've been using fmu. Is that where Im going wrong?? I bought clear blue this time as I thought it was just IC not working but maybe I've just been doing it wrong Confused

Had a few painful twinges this afternoon. Wondering if it was ovulation pain or maybe just trapped wind. Im already second guessing symtoms and not even in the 2ww yet. Must try to learn to relax.

LH1981 · 13/12/2013 15:09

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for the new thread!

Well, still nothing for me. Convinced still seeing faint lines but nothing that my DH would consider proof (in fact I haven't even shown him as I know what he'll say!)

I am CD 33 today of a usual 37 day cycle, so still not out of the running entirely.

Fantastic news smf and lucy!! Lucy, I can def see something. Def test tomorrow with FMU!!

Sorry cotton and finding me, hey at least you can enjoy the Xmas festivities (poor consolation, I know) - good luck for January!!

xx

CallingAllEngels · 13/12/2013 15:12

I am very tentatively checking in.

Got a BFP at the beginning of the October bus but had a mc at 6 weeks, which was very long and drawn out. Waiting for a call from hospital today that should confirm my HCG levels are at 0 and we can ttc again. Fx. 99% sure we'll get the go ahead as AF arrived 2 weeks ago and according to opks and my usual cycle, am ov right now. DH and I cheated and dtd last night (even though they told us to wait). Will be dtd more this weekend!

AF due 27th December. TTC#2 1st cycle post-mc (ttc since July)

cottonwool4brains · 13/12/2013 15:21

Considering temping or using ic opk for next cycle. I know a lot of people here use them, what are the pros and cons of each (I am clueless). Heading into cycle 10 now..... Double figures not good. Still Christmas drinkies tonight!
This bus is mad lucky! Good luck to you all

spinningirl10 · 13/12/2013 15:27

Welcome Calling....sorry for your loss, hope you get the all clear from the hospital today and you get your sticky bfp soon!

Sleeping....no opk are not supposed to be used with fmu, This month i tried to test around lunch time and again later in the day, I was just using ic but when I got a positive line I also used the cb opk.

spinningirl10 · 13/12/2013 15:28

Wow....25 bfp's and we're not even half way through the month!!

CallingAllEngels · 13/12/2013 15:31

lucy just spotted you had a bfp today - great news! (We were on Oct bus together. You had a cpg right?..nc here but easy to see spot!)

CallingAllEngels · 13/12/2013 15:37

Cotton wool we ttc ds at first without using opks. 12 months and nothing. Started using opks and got pg 3rd cycle ( though mc, but got pg on next cycle).

Trying for dc2 now and same story. 1st month no opks. Then started using them and got pg after 2 cycles.

I think it's good to keep dtd as much as poss for 72 hours after you get a peak...instructions always say 48 but all 3 times I got pg with opks was when we kept going at it past 48 hours.

Thanks for the welcome spinning

cottonwool4brains · 13/12/2013 15:47

Thank you calling and fingers crossed for your bfp!

lucyfluff · 13/12/2013 16:02

Thankyou for all the congrats ladies....will confirm in a week :) its wierd once you get that slight light then boom symptoms start showing up!!!

Calling - yes we were on the oct bus together after chem it took a while for my AF to show up but thankfully it looks like we have got another bubba quite soon Smile how are you feeling?? I hope the hospital comes back with good news for you...dont worry about dtd already its natural to want to try again Grin

Good luck x
