Welcome aboard ladies!
Get your pom poms in the air, as well as your ass (post dtd!) and we might get somewhere!
Here's to some BFPs! Wine

Bella personally I'd wait until 14dpo. I'm an avid 12dpo girl and have been 12dpo when I've had my bfps, but this time I'm waiting Smile

English I always get spotting for 5 days before af but it's always fresh red unlike this and this spotting just started last night when af is due tomorrow... Is 12dpo too late for IB?

Jo178 · 06/03/2014 16:59

Hi ladies, think I'm out this month. After what seemed like a very faint line on ic at 10dpo, I started orange spotting yesterday which has now turned more red which is what happened last month before full AF. Still the b6 seems to have lengthened my luteal phase by one day so now just need to crack the late ovulation! Onwards and upwards! Here's to next month and a December baby! Good luck to all with BFPs or who are still to test. Xx

Choccywoccydodah · 06/03/2014 17:00

Actually just looking at my calendar I was 9dpo in November and January!! But a proper line at 12dpo

Linda due to all the stretching etc I was told that you can spot anytime. They still call it 'implantation bleeding' even when you're a few weeks past proper implantation of that makes sense? It can be eggy burrowing in further. Fingers crossed that's what you're getting x

Missed so much! Hi everyone! :)

Cd14 for me, still on flashing smileys. Come on solid!!!

Still feeling unwell so hoping that wont affect my cycle.

SaRaRaRaRa · 06/03/2014 17:06

Bella test!

Lol at your chat up texts cine Grin

Nordic I hope you feel better soon Thanks

linda, I usually get AF cramps during the first couple of days of AF. Sometimes before. Not sure when is most usual to get them tho. Your spotting sounds confusing.

lindamagoo · 06/03/2014 17:18

I've had implantation bleeding before at 6dpo and got my BFP at 10dpo but there was more blood and less pain. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if af starts or not. I wish you could just wake up one morning and just know you were pregnant, you never notice any of these things until ttc, lol.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/03/2014 17:19

There seriously must have been something in the water in December.. That or lots of pissed DTD, it seems like there's a new fb preggo announcement everyday! When will it be my turn!! feeling pretty meh! Especially as ov is taking it's sweet time! AngryAngrySadSad

Choccywoccydodah · 06/03/2014 17:24

English I came off fb after my 3rd one for the whole of feb while we weren't trying. Everyone was announcing their pregnancies or births it seemed and as happy as I was, I was bloody well pissed off!!
I share your Angry and Envy

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/03/2014 17:37

It just seems so unfair. I'm happy for them just so Envy. There's some ladies here who have had real struggles and then I see people who get upduffed just looking at their dp's!
I really hope that you all get yours soon, but especially the long standing bus travellers! And me... Obviously! Smile

bellaboo88 · 06/03/2014 17:52

Cinner - Id be telling me to too...Chocky....thx for the sensible refresher...I said I wouldn't! Will see how I feel at 6.30am (taking parents to drop off for bus trip, shock to my system that time in a morning!)

I've felt rubbish since I last posted, like I'm really swimmy & can't stand up without dizziness.

I get cramps before AF :-( x

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 18:28

I Agree, English. Nature doesn't discriminate meaning that even the most wonderful of future parents can struggle and potentially abusive parents that you read about can find it easy Envy

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 18:30

Just read that back! Not that your friends are potentially abusive-I just meant generally! Blush

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 18:32

Sorry to read that, Jo. Good news that the B6 is working, albeit it a little slowly! I have a similar cycle 'issue' to you. Hope we crack it!

Sparrowlegs248 · 06/03/2014 18:40

bella I would wait. I tested early to start with but always got bfn and it was disappointing and a waste of bloody money! It seems easier to cope with if af arrives so now i don't test at all. If i am a couple of days late i will test then as have been a regular 25/26 days for 10 months now. Good luck whatever you decide.

Penis fish - thanks for that spotti! They are gross! But srrangely compelling.......

Does anyone else wait til their late before testing?

Sparrowlegs248 · 06/03/2014 18:42

English & choccy i know what you mean about FB. Soooo many scan pics and baby pics. I am trying to be encouraged though as some of them are even oldr than me!!

KittyVonCatsington · 06/03/2014 18:51

I waited until AF was due before testing last cycle but because of late ovulation (cd19), I was only 11dpo. All very confusing!

Starbright24 · 06/03/2014 19:05

This is the first month when I've had cheapy internet tests so I started testing early. Tbh I'm finding it a bit disheartening and have virtually given up hope of bfp even though af not due till 9th.

I seem to have cramping / pains a fair bit. Ov pains seem to last till af pains begin a week before af due - that's how it feels the last couple of months.

Eeeks on the penis fish. I really shouldn't have opened that at work lol. (Fortunately it was only on my phone!)

Starbright24 · 06/03/2014 19:06

Oh..and
Ttc cycle 3 bfp 9th march mrsb :)

RetroHippy · 06/03/2014 19:10

Hi all, will catch up properly in a bit but just needed to update my stats so noone thinks I'm holding out on a POAS.

As of my freakish 17 day cycle earlier this month, my bfp has now been put back to the 20th. At least I'm still on the March bus!

RetroHippy, ttc # 1, cycle 4, bfp due March 20th.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/03/2014 19:26

Haha! Kitty, that did make me chuckle! No abusive fb friends but a few people from school who I'd question their ability to look after themselves let alone a child.
I won't test now until I'm late. The bfns do nothing for my mood. I'd rather wait a few days or have AF just arrive... Not that she will this month!!

missmrsmummy · 06/03/2014 20:02

Wow Retro we are twins! I am also ttc#1, cycle#4 and bfp due 20 March!

RetroHippy · 06/03/2014 21:11

And both teachers too Grin

DH is going away from the 17th until 20th March, so I am adamant I'm not testing until the following morning. I won't cheat if you don't cheat!

We can encourage each other through the 2ww. What do you have planned for the next two weekends?

RetroHippy · 06/03/2014 21:13

Where is KnottyKnitter? The three of us are cycle buddies Grin
