Impatience mn had been my saviour over many things! Swallowing bath water with my fanjo is just One of many things that has made me realise I'm fairly ordinary! Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 19/02/2014 10:38

Another bath swallower here! Can't wait for the day when I jump up and down with happiness in a bathroom for the elusive BFP. Very glamorous me...

Thanks for the new thread and updated stats, Kitty!

Pmsl about the bath water! Having another 'glad it's not just me' moment!

mum2kiss · 19/02/2014 12:50

Reading about so many of you getting post ov cramping.

I had mild cramping in my lower abdomen from around 9dpo. I got a feint bfp at 11dpo. The cramping continued until I was 5+6.

My other pre bfp symptoms were

swollen lymph node under left armpit from ov onwards
sore fire boobs from around cd11 until cd 13/14
Super human sense of smell from around 10dpo

mum2kiss · 19/02/2014 12:51

Oh and I had a feeling of pressure down below from about 7dpo which felt a lot like an inflated balloon! Sorry if thats tmi!

CursiveLetters · 19/02/2014 14:57

KittyVonCatsington not patronizing, super helpful! I haven't done one of these before

TTC #1, Cycle #9, BFP due 21 Feb

thanks!

Hazelbrowneyes · 19/02/2014 15:16

I'm possibly 8dpo (but I think more 5dpo due to cramps - not using OPKs so no idea!) and I have exactly the same symptoms as last month - turned out to be PMS symptoms. Lots of cramping and pulling, very bloated, itchy skin on pelvis and generally feel rubbish. Expecting AF rather than BFP to arrive next week.

Felt ok about it yesterday, feeling super blue today. Not only am I so desperate to fall pregnant but equally, if these are PMS symptoms, then it's pointing to me being destined to suffer with these for 7-10 days every month Sad

Treaclepie19 · 19/02/2014 15:39

Still in limbo here. POAS this morning and bfn again. :(

Cd33, 23dpo and at least 5 days late.

KittyVonCatsington · 19/02/2014 15:48

Right - off out for my treat (early pre-show dinner and all that!) so want lots of news to come back to! Have a very bloated tummy so either AF is on her way or it is making a nice home for a little bean! Hazelbrowneyes - you have summed me up perfectly; we have the same symptoms - what gives!? Grin

What time is your appointment tomorrow TreaclePie? Keep us updated - we're with you every step of the way.

Thankd Kitty :) I think I would go crazy without you all!

It's at 8.50 so dont have to wait too long.

Just want an answer and don't feel like I'll get one.

katecupoftea · 19/02/2014 17:35

Hi everyone, been away for a few days. According to my last cycle I am about 5 days from BFP/AF but have been utterly, utterly symptomless. Even my usual pmt symptoms aren't here. Worried I ov'd late and missed the window with dtd on the right days. Anyone else not feeling lucky?

JonesSchool · 19/02/2014 17:48

Not having a great day here! Have been spotting on and off since last Monday, called NHS direct and they insisted I called my doctors which I did, before I got to doctors had a big load of blood on the tp! So we wait and see, have a scan on Friday at 2pm. Not feeling confident or happy xx

LittleMissSunshine33 · 19/02/2014 18:42

Thanks for the new thread good work on the update kitty!

Thanks all for the food/drink/exercise advise think I will take it easy but not give anything up for now as Sazzle you said realistically I don't know how long it will take!

Jones hope you're ok try to stay positive and plan for next month, the new things you could try?! Always horrid at first Blush

LittleMissSunshine33 · 19/02/2014 18:45

Sorry didn't mean jones that sounded insensitive! I meant bfn's!!!

Jones hope you're ok fx for you at the doctors Hmm

CursiveLetters · 19/02/2014 18:46

Can't decide wether or not to POAS. I'm 12 DPO, period should have started today or will start tomorrow but I have ZERO feeling like it will start tomorrow. No cramps or spotting.

I tested yesterday and it was neg, but I was pregnant before (mc) and I didn't test positive until about 5 days after my missed period! Fear I am a late tester! So I should at leeeast way until I'm "officially" late which won't be until tomorrow.

Buuuut I'm going out w/ a friend tonight so I want to know if I can't drink! Honestly if it's neg that still wouldn't tell me either way, but seems like a good excuse to POAS, no?

ImaginaryHat · 19/02/2014 19:02

Hi ladies, just popping in to get off the bus. Been having spotting since 4-6 dpo with af finally arriving properly today after 7 days of spotting.

Have been too depressed about the whole thing to even come on mumsnet this cycle, so Ive not read back, but congratulations to any bfps and good luck to anyone still waiting Flowers

mama31 · 19/02/2014 19:36

Hey ladies! Sorry to hear a lot of you are having a bad day!

Jones hoping your ok that's so difficult for you! Hugs!
Imaginary sorry to hear your feeling down, the spotting is so soul destroying I know!!! Is it usually like that for you?? I started vitex and maca this cycle to see if it helps the spotting/hormone balance. Will let you know if it's worked! Hope your ok I know it's so soul destroying at times but you will feel better once af clears off! X

ImaginaryHat · 19/02/2014 19:45

Hey mama. I used to have 2-3 days of spotting pre-af before my 2 chemicals, but since then its been getting progressively longer. Can't believe it started so early this cycle and lasted a full week. Now got a week of af to deal with starting today! Giving it one more cycle then going back to my gp. Ive not heard of the things you mentioned, will go and have a Google now.

How are you getting on? Ive done you proud with my creme egg consumption this week!

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 19/02/2014 20:54

Bfn again this morning still only 7dpo though I am so inpatient!! Lol have eBay cheaply tests so knowing me will test everyday till af or positive hehe!! Good luck everyone :)

EnglishGirlAbroad · 19/02/2014 21:00

Oh Jones I'm so sorry, it really is shit. Look after yourself, make sure you can get a good hug and allow yourself a good cry. I really hope for the best for you.

Imaginary sorry you're having a tough time too. Def worth speaking to the doctor. I'm also giving vitex a go in the hope it settles my hormones post mc.

impatienceisavirtue · 19/02/2014 22:40

impatienceisavirtue · 19/02/2014 22:42

BTW - for all you crazies like me testing stupid early

We started testing at 8dpo, and were sure we could see something on an EC. Had to squint and convinced ourselves it was evap/imaginary - so maybe not so crazy after all!!!!

This is 11dpo

Writerwannabe83 · 19/02/2014 22:44

It's faint but I definitely see something!!! Grin Grin

impatienceisavirtue · 19/02/2014 22:46

It came up within 2-3 minutes and is actually darker than in pic?

Please don't let this be chemical :(

missmrsmummy · 19/02/2014 22:49

Ok.

Not holding my breath.

But my spotting has almost disappeared - just a little brown mixed with clear cm.

This is day 3. Usually this would have developed to full-on AF by now...
