Hahaha, you're terrible! Wink
Seriously, I've spent a fortune on hpts this month, this last one has to count...before the cb digi that will no doubt follow lol

Writerwannabe83 · 14/12/2013 20:36

Lol - I'm just so excited!!

I mean, I'm 100% positive I'm pregnant, lol, but if I had a stick I'd pee on it!!!

Hi ladies.

Congrats to everyone who has got their bfps this month. Commiserations to everyone who has had bad news too. It's very hard to keep the chin up.

Just wondering if I could ask you all to cross your fingers, say a prayer or anything else you might believe in for luck for me for this month. According to my calculations I should have got af yesterday. But this is my 1st month temping with ff who predicts af tomorrow. I usually get spotting the day before af and there has been nothing. And I usually get sore boobs and pmt before af and this month I haven't had that. But due to my obsessive 2ww tracking I know all the pregnancy symptoms and I have none of them this month. (Unlike other months where I imagine every symptom!)

So this is why I am asking for luck. I really want to give my dh happy news on Christmas day as a surprise but this might just not be our month. So please please send me lots of baby dust Xmas Smile

Gingerpanther27 · 14/12/2013 21:38

Struggle to name check as on phone but congrats to the bfps. Choccy and barmy sorry it isn't good news, look after yourselves. Still in 2ww here. Approx 6/7 dpo here. Had 27 day cycle last cycle and before that chemical preg so not sure of average cycle length atm. Don't think it's my month tbh. I'll just be lurking on buses in the New year as have to take a break from ttc so I'm not walking down the aisle in labour lol Hmm however my symptom spot for now is I fell asleep during the day for about 3 hours Shock the only time I have ever done that was when Id just had DS. more shockingly DS let me sleep! Who's testing next week?

mama31 · 14/12/2013 21:41

So so sorry choccy and barmy!!! Hugs to you both!

Lucy BFN! But still wondering like a crazy woman....how long after implantation bleed are you supposed to test?? I'm sure I'm just being silly! But I've never had spotting not followed by full flow af so it is very confusing and most likely cruel cruel tricks my body is playing on me!

I'm not getting my hopes up really but just wondering wtf is going on with my af?!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 14/12/2013 21:46

I'd imagine about 2-3 days after implantation the HCG levels would be high enough for a sensitive test to detect. But saying that, when I was testing with IC even though I was getting BFN all the way up until the day my period was due the CB Digital gave the result 2-3 weeks as opposed to 1-2 which is what I would have expected.

So who knows?! It's all a bit of a guessing game I think and everyone is different.

lucyfluff · 14/12/2013 21:48

Oh poo mama Sad Im not sure...it all sounds a bit strange dosent it. Are you still spotting?? bodies can be wierd at times and lots of things can affect your cycle.

Maybe wait a couple of days and see what happens....the only other thing I could suggest is asking GP for a blood test to check.

mama31 · 14/12/2013 22:06

No spotting at all since yesterday lunch time and today my cervix is so high, barely reach it and soft....when I am getting af it's really low :/

lucyfluff · 14/12/2013 22:09

Ummmm wierd....its worse not knowing and having pg symptoms Sad wait two days and retest with fmu??

mama31 · 14/12/2013 22:12

Yes think I will wait it out! Feel so rediculous....but seriously my boobs are like a size bigger (don't get me wrong I'm loving that) and they are still tender which usually I only get pre af then when spotting starts boobs go down and not sore anymore! also usually have af cramps prior to and when spotting starts.....but haven't had a single cramp! bewildered.com!!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 14/12/2013 22:14

If the spotting only stopped 24 hours ago then I would definitely leave it for a few days - if pregnancy has occurred it will probably be just too early to detect anything today. FWIW - one of the first pre-BFP symptoms I got was an increase in breast size. I remember looking at them in the mirror the day before I got my BFP and quizzing my husband about how different they looked Grin I have got my fingers crossed so tightly for you Smile

lucyfluff · 14/12/2013 22:23

Fingers crossed here too...and I have serious boob envy Wink

mama31 · 14/12/2013 22:23

Thanks writer I appreciate that! I have quite small boobs so not complaining about a little extra ;) but they are tender so it's confusing all the same!

I'm gona put it all out of my head for as long as I can then will use the other FRER! But must admit ill prob use an opk tomorrow to see what is says as h is so random as I usually only get that dark a line the day before the definate pos opk and ovulation....and there is no way I'm ovulating as I ovulate on CD10 at earliest and CD13 at latests....im currently on cd27 if the spotting wasn't af....or Cd4 if it was af!

Will keep you posted anyway....im sure I'm being silly but I really feel intrigued by it all! thanks for the support lovelies, as always! And say your prayers for me if there is any pos that it could happen right now!!!! Thanks x

spinningirl10 · 14/12/2013 22:25

Mama....how strange! I agree that you should wait and test in a few days. It does sound like it could have been implantation spotting although I've never had this! I'm still keeping everything crossed for you!

mama31 · 14/12/2013 22:32

Thankyou spinning! I'm Definately not getting my hopes up! My feet are firmly on the ground but I must say I am quite confused! :/ oh well....mulled wine is still flowing for now ;)

Gingerpanther27 · 14/12/2013 22:38

Fingers crossed for you mama

Honeybear30 · 14/12/2013 22:59

Keeping everything crossed for you mama...I hope you can keep up the relaxed state of mind :)

Choccy and Barmy I'm sending hugs your way, I'm so sorry xxxx

Think I'm officially in my 2ww. Not sure on precise ov day because i'm going by my own body and not using temping or opks. Isn't funny as soon as you get into it you start noticing small changes and wondering about every little thing?! I'm sure I get so many more twinges in the 2ww than the 2 weeks leading up to ov. I really really hope the next ten days goes quickly! Think I'll be testing on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day if this month is my month. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing?!

mama31 · 14/12/2013 23:21

Thanks ginger and honey x

newforest · 15/12/2013 00:05

Just checking in, can't believe how many positives there are! Congrats to them and good luck to everyone else.

Nestinggirl · 15/12/2013 04:34

Bless you mama31 , my boobs become so sore and sensitive since last Thursday . Jumped up to 32ff from dd and feel like balloons full of water. That is the only strong sign of pregnancy I have since I got positive yesterday. I wish you Santa brings you the gift you want xxx

Nestinggirl · 15/12/2013 04:43

Honeybear wish you all the best. Ovulation pain I had this month was very different compare to previous times. V sharp pulling feelings on both ovaries and tightness of lower abdominal was awful. Opk never worked for since I am pcos . I had no change in CM or let's say any noticeable change which suggested I was ovulating. One thing keep eye on you body temperature , if you feel slight feverish for few days at random times then that's the sign. All the best huni and stay positive with the prayer that you are strong enough to deal with any result xxx

spinningirl10 · 15/12/2013 08:00

Morning all Grin

Not a good morning, I've had such a bad nights sleep! Dp woke me up when he came in from work at 4 and I couldn't get back to sleep. Finally dozed off at 6 only to be woken by my ds at 7.15 telling me I've overslept....it's Sunday!!!

Anyway I haven't poas as I pee'd twice I'm the night! I will poas tomorrow......and everyday after that till af arrives Grin I'm on the list as af being due on 24th but as I ov'd earlier I think it's due on Friday.

skybluegirl33 · 15/12/2013 08:04

Well AF got me this morning right on cue, sorry I can't be joining all the amazing BFPs this bus has brought this month.

Roll on cycle 6 for us (can't believe it will be half a year of ttc), will have to figure out our sex plan as I'll have a house full of visitors for a week over Christmas during my next fertile period so should be a challenge!

Good luck to those left on the bus, I really hope there will be lots for BFPs!
