New Year, New Hope. Jan Bus (part3)

[EnglishGirlAbroad]

Hop on board thread 3 of the Jan bus! Wishing you all lots of luck for a bfp filled new year!!

Ok I know I said I'd wait until friday but the suspense is killing me and I'm clutching at straws thinking I have increased cm whereas normally nothing on pants - sorry if tmi!
So i may break and poas tomorrow morning with fmu with a superdrug test. FF (first month using it) is putting me at 12dpo today and my normal lp is 12 or 13 days. I'll kick myself if i get a bfn but i don't think i can wait til fri or wednesday even for that matter!!

Hi Writer, only 9 weeks to go! Wow! Thanks for doing the list.

I was on the 'Please update details list' . I don't really know whats going on with my cycle post MC so that's why there is a ? after my BFP date. So sorry, will have to leave it like that. Until my cycle gets back to normal (my first AF?) I can't say Sorry to wreck your perfectness

It does lead you to my next question though. I asked Dr when to expect(ish) my next AF and she said go with previous cycle lengths from before MC but this is no guarantee that it's right. Can take longer for AF to reappear. Anyway, today I would be 1 day late on my usual 30day cycle. Should I POAS or just assume AF is taking her time to show up and wait a bit longer ?

SMF - because I'm a maniac and want anyone to poas as i'm very much at that stage myself and obsessing...POAS!!!!! You of course may be late because your body is settling down, but also i have only heard how fertile you can be after a mc so perhaps you have caught... did you ov around the same time this month?

I can forgive you fruit for ruining my perfectness, lol I think you and sazzle should go and POAS now

HA writer i think i've drunk too much water right now but i'll try and save up my wee for later or else i'll do it tomorrow morning i think so i can stop annoying myself about am i aren't i? and probably everyone else still left on this bus!

LOL - you guys are BAD influence. BAD.

I'm kinda afraid to POAS, in case it says no or incase it says yes. That's insane isn't it.

If it is not a cooperative stick (that says yes) I will be annoyed because I want AF to show up and be come and gone so when I am on holiday I don't want AF there annoying me! Grrr.

SMF - i'm only a bad influence because i'm too chicken shit to poas myself for fear another month with a bfn. I'd much rather prattle on here about it all day whilst avoiding the fact i have 2 superdrug tests burning a whole in the bathroom cabinet that will put me out of my misery...

And you are not insane, well not on this site anyway!

sazzle - I think I ov'd around right time this month. I had EWCM on the days it should have been there but that doesn't guarantee OV does it. We did dtd a fair bit this month but actually only twice over days 14-18.

Otherwise the only unusual thing is I have quite a bit of EWCM-type discharge that wouldn't usually be around at this time (if cycle was to be 30 days as usual) which was a big clue for my BFP last time.. one of the only 'symptoms' actually, that an a hatred of Pesto!.

What to do..

at the prevarication sazzle .. why is POAS such an ordeal!

Do you have any symptoms ? What dpo are you ?

I have to go into town now anyway so will decide whether to buy a few sticks then.

Yep, def back on the Jan bus

OPK says yes, so going to be DTD like mad for the next few days, then fx for a bfp by the very end of Jan if it shows up early. First weekend of Feb if not. Whoop! I'm getting excited for sex tonight for more than just the usual reasons

SMF - yes buy some sticks and we can poas buddies tomorrow morning? I am 12dpo today. I normally have a 12/13 lp so if i test now i'm sure the result will be real. No symptoms, but I don't remember any with my 1st dc...

Retro! HA, love that dtd is has added excitement. Go girl!

SMF - you need to buy some pee sticks, you never know when you might need them, so I reckon you need a few in the cupboard! Although I can seriously see the attraction of not having any in the house if it helps you avoid POAS.

Sazzle - do you genuinely want to avoid POAS? I totally get why you are feeling impatient, but is it worth trying to wait until Wed? I say that, and no way I could manage. I just know I feel utterly crap today after BFN this morning, so I don't want to encourage anyone else to POAS in case the same happens!

Barmy, I'm a mad lady. I find a bfn SO much worse than just being caught out by AF...however the thought of knowing soon is so tempting. I am so cruel to myself...I get my hopes up every month! The sane part of me wants to wait until friday. The mad lady part of me wants to poas tomorrow morning...

Good luck to those still waiting to poas, to those who are out this month.
I had my day 21 blood results today and they were 93.4!! Very high my fertility nurse said. Would defo have ovulated, maybe even released 2 eggs.
Feeling very sick today though and still got on off cramping. Also my boobs are sore. I'm too frightened to get my hopes up..

Sazzle, I know exactly what you mean. An image of a bunch of woman dancing in circles around a Pstick just entered my head! Desperate to test but dreading that BFN is such a pain in the neck! It must be so hard not to get your hopes up each month. One month it will be, it's just when, and the process is so mind boggling during it all! Go and hide the sticks somewhere hard to get to if you don't want to POAS tomorrow maybe?
I have everything crossed for you. I will join you in a mad lady dance if you want! .

ItsChristmas, that is sounding great about your results from the gp. I have no idea what the numbers mean, but the info makes it sound very promising.

To all those questioning whether to POAS just do it!!! If you get a BFN that might just be the hormones haven't built up enough yet and it's just too early - it doesn't rule out a BFP a few days later!!

I have a stash of ICs because otherwise my POAS addiction would lead to bankruptcy Partly because its important for me to know as early as possible to commence operation please god make this one a sticky one that survives the medication and monitoring the consultant recommends. And partly because I just too impatient to wait until AF is due.

Other news today - don't have to decide about my placement until March so will have time to think and research where I really want to be.

Also found out my god daughter who is only 17 is having a little boy - so not only does that make me feel ancient but also sad that I haven't got my little boy. Must try and be positive despite wanting to curl up in a ball and weep and think that this emotional roller coaster will be worth it in the end.

You lot do make me laugh. I think you should all poas tomorrow! I'm ages away from poas! Think I only just ovulated! Gggrrrr! Stupid body!

Also at what point ItsChristmas did your doc recommend day21 progesterone test? I want one as I seem to have little to no cm and have read low progesterone can be the reason. Nice high score there though! Fx for you!!

Barmy it's really good to have it that high. Made me so excited

EnglishGirl I have pcos, so been having bloods quite regularly for the past 8 months when they found it. Also it's my first cycle on clomid so I have to have one then.

Still puzzled Beginning to look a lot more like AF but never had a period a week early in all my period years. Fed up. Any suggestions?

Sleeping i took your advice to shut myself up. OMFG. Just poas an ic and i can see a really faint line. Shaking, need to work out how to upload photo before i go more loopy. I have never had even an evap line on these damn things...oh girls have i really done it. is cycle 14 the lucky one?

Eeeeep!!! post a pic! that's so exciting Sazzle!!!!

Ooooh sazzle sounds uber exciting! I really should wait a couple of days before poas....the suspense is killing me!!

Can you all see it. Have i gone mad after all this time?I couldn't do it on mn page so it is here

That's definitely a line!!!

I had A line like that on one of those tests,she's 13 now!
