Congratulations on the new bfps! It was lovely to read that good news this morning.

I am just cross with this ttc process today, I may be having a symptom spotting day as it's about 12dpo I think but ewcm has gone mad over the last two days, piles of it, so I'm now worried I didn't ov after all and my cycles are screwed up again. Oh what a joyous process this is. Please can someone give me a kick up the bum and tell me to stop obsessing?!

mrsb87 · 18/01/2014 19:28

Evening guys, I'm still here on the bus! Bfpa/af due next week. Symptom crazy today, been really sleepy, to the point I even had an afternoon nap! Lower tummy cramps and tonight we ordered our favourite chinese, was really looking forward to this as I have been off my food for 2/3days, it really just didnt taste right, dh husband had the same and we tried ea hothers they tasted exactly the same! He was convinced they tasted the same as normal but I couldnt eat it Sad
this had better be pg symptoms or I will be mega upset!

Sleepingstarsmommy · 18/01/2014 19:59

Evening ladies.

Congrats to BFPs and sorry to those AF has caught.

I'm currently 8dpo and know that tomorrow I will be POAS because I am a POAS addict. I know I have seen a website giving stats on % of BFPs on the days post ov but can't seem to find it. Has anyone got the link??

Sleepingstarsmommy · 18/01/2014 21:16

Thanks ladies. According to one of those links it says testing tomorrow is tempting but still best to wait!! Never going to happen - my ICs are ready and waiting for me Grin

Treaclepie19 · 18/01/2014 21:26

I'm testing tomorrow too! Unless this is AF not IB. I know its too early but still. It says on that site to "hold off if you can" haha.

please let this be implantation bleeding

Jo178 · 18/01/2014 21:46

Hi all, CD18 and still no positive opk. Hmm The past couple of days have had faint lines to the point where I'm wondering if I'm imagining it DH goes away for work on Monday til Wednesday so I'm hopeful it comes tomorrow to give us one chance. Beginning to wonder if I've missed it.

missmrsmummy · 19/01/2014 01:28

Barmy I have lots of ewcm too... I have read this is a pg symptom and obviously the internet is gospel so fx it's a good sign for both of us!

Sleepingstarsmommy · 19/01/2014 07:02

BFN. Not surprised as AF not due until Friday. Will try again tomorrow and everyday after that until I get a BFP or AF gets me

bumpbangbump · 19/01/2014 07:59

Just checking in to say congratulations for the bfps and commiserations to those that witch got. AF due next Sunday and no symptoms yet. Although I do have a chin full off spots which I got last month, so funily enough I'm not feeling positive!

barmybunting · 19/01/2014 08:03

MissMrs, I like the internet today when it tells you that Smile . It is of course totally wrong when it doesn't agree with us! Are you planning to test sometime soon?

Something is up anyway, if af is on the way she is giving me a hell of a lead up to her arrival. TMI probably, but my nipples have been erect for about three days and my breasts suddenly feel like inflating balloons so goodness knows what that's about!

bellaboo88 · 19/01/2014 08:23

Fx barmy, sounds painful but promising!!!!

Wow bus is really emptying now, lots of bfps tho!!

I'm thinking of transferring as I think I'm on the wrong bus but I'll wait & see if it diverts to my stop yet....still no ov (by ewcm monitoring) so will see if I get another shot at peeing in a pot or witch yet!

Feeling rubbish, was jet lagged from NY but my timezones reset to 'teenager', wide awake till gone 4am :( x

barmybunting · 19/01/2014 08:23

I have fallen to the POAS addiction this morning and used a sainsburys test. it has given me a very faint cross line at about 8 mins but it doesn't go fully across the window, it fades to nothing in the middle. It's also one of those dreaded blue dye tests. I think I need to take myself to superdrug today!

ItsChristmaass · 19/01/2014 08:34

Barmy I've heard sainsburys ones aren't very good cuz of the dye, and also I used one a few months back and it showed a faint positive when I wasn't pregnant. I try stick to frer or super drug now.
I'm still clutching my seat on this bus, cd23 today about 9/10 dpo. Still having the cramping and lots of milky type cm (sorry tmi). Holding off testing for as long as I can Confused
Trying to stay positive and my poor dh is so excited and convinced this is our month, I hope we're both not disappointed. FX!

mrsb87 · 19/01/2014 08:37

Ah barmy me too! Very faint line (I'm convinced anyway!!) But will hold off testing for a couple of days to confirn my suspicions

sazzlehopes · 19/01/2014 08:40

Hi all, Still here but keeping quiet(ish) so as not to get myself into a poas frenzy as usual!! I have a pretty busy week ahead which is good and may mean I can hold off until af will be late which is fri with i think kitty and missmrs as poas testing buddies? The 2 superdrug tests i bought yesterday are burning a hole in my cupboard but i really hope i don't break and use them early.....

Congrats to kitty, amy and honey on your bfp. Great news and thanks for all the details. posting on my phone (computer is playing games with me and the internet...) and can't update the stats so if someone else can be the conductor for a bit that'd be great!!

Barmy, sounds sort of promising - symptoms and semi failed test. buy a frer or superdrug and maybe try again later or tomorrow with fmu? fx.

LittleMissSunshine33 · 19/01/2014 08:44

Hey all! Happy Sundays!

Glad to see there's still some on the bus! I have fingers x for all of you!

I'm now on the 2ww low fertile circle on my OPK and already wondering if the niggling in my stomach is a symptom ... It's going to be a long 2 weeks!

Just going to check out the recommended websites!

Treaclepie19 · 19/01/2014 08:47

I don't know what to think, thought AF was here cus of more normal blood in the night (had to go to the toilet at 4am, none on pad).
Woke up this morning expecting not to test but there wasnt as much blood as I'd have thought by now so tested and BFN(but I should only be 10DPO).
If this is AF then it means my luteal phase was too short. I've always had regular cycles so its really odd.

barmybunting · 19/01/2014 08:47

ItsChristmas that creamy cm is what I was wondering about as well a few days ago, copious amounts of it. I reckon it's a good sign!

I have heard similar things about sainsburys tests, I am not taking this one as anything but a reason to test again Smile . I'm off to superdrug later today and will test in the morn (if I can hold off!).

Fingers crossed for you, I hope this is it for you and your dh! it certainly sounds promising.

barmybunting · 19/01/2014 08:52

sazzle, fingers crossed for you! Good luck with holding off testing until later in the week. I'll be thinking of you!

treacle if the bleeding is implantation bleed, I think it would be a bit early to get a bfp just now so I would give it a day or two then test again depending on whether you think it's af or not. Fingers crossed for you!

barmybunting · 19/01/2014 08:53

Mrsb87, looking promising for you! Good luck!

Treaclepie19 · 19/01/2014 08:55

Thanks barmy
It seemed a bit too heavy for IB earlier but I rarely have AF early. I'll have to wait and see.

MrsF2510 · 19/01/2014 09:30

Bumpbangbump - I'm not sure the spots thing would be related to AF. I am about 2dpo bit have a huge spot (unusual for me) but I would assume it's the surge in eostrogen linked to OV rather than AF x

missmrsmummy · 19/01/2014 10:20

Hi sazzle! Yep, you me and Kitty - it's a poas date!
