Cd 26 today. So af due tomorrow then? I think spotting was yesterday and friday. Um......

Sparrowlegs248 · 05/05/2014 19:57

So if i got pos on cd 11, I ovd on cd 12 so cd 13 is 1dpo? In which case spotting 11 & 13 dpo. I think.

Sparrowlegs248 · 05/05/2014 19:58

Oh god why is it so complicated?!?!

imaginary No not really. Just being pleasant again rather than an arse..

ImaginaryHat · 05/05/2014 20:21

Well glad he's being nicer notta! I think ib can be from cd9 onwards although I'm not overly sure and I'm sure someone might have more informed stats, but its got the potential to be I think.

So if you think you ov on CD 12 and are now CD 26, that will put you 15dpo tomorrow. If af doesn't show up by the morning I'd be tempted to test as I think at 15dpo you'd be quite likely to get a faint positive if you are preg? Don't want to encourage it too much and get your hopes up though as sounds like your normal lp is around 14 days so af could still come. Maybe wait til wed if you can hang on. Time seems to go so slowly in these situations doesn't it!

Lindsay81 · 05/05/2014 20:23

Wait til Wednesday if you can notta!!! Then come on and let us all know. Got all my fingers and toes crossed!

m33r · 05/05/2014 20:42

notta I have everything crossed!! I'd wait til Wednesday of you can ... Actually, I'd test tomorrow with FMU but I 'recommend' waiting til Wednesday (I couldn't wait). Good luck. Am thinking of you ... As we all are! Xx

ImaginaryHat · 05/05/2014 20:48

Haha m33r thats what I was trying to say - the good advice is wait til Wed, but I'd def test tomorrow - in fact I'd probably have tested already as I have zero will power unhelpful

Sparrowlegs248 · 05/05/2014 21:04

Lol! Thanks all. I'm getting confused over days and dates. Veering between hope fear and despair!!

I never test early but this is throwing me a bit of a curveball. Will try and wait til wednesday.

But I've got a CB in the cupboard....

victoria401 · 05/05/2014 22:13

I agree, wait til Wednesday! Best of luck my lovely x

lil1ady · 06/05/2014 06:45

definitely wait until Thursday notta. I think ib can be from 7-10dpo usually but everyone is different, 11 &13dpo could still be ib. fx for you. be nice to get another bfp on Herr before we reach 1000 messages.

we need to start thinking about a 2nd thread!

lil1ady · 06/05/2014 06:46

no Wednesday not Thursday...that would kill you waiting that long! although Thursday would be a darker line if u were pg lol!

Sparrowlegs248 · 06/05/2014 08:13

Crotch watch update - still no af, no spotting. But my back feels a bit achey along with my hips.

I think she's on her way.

I actually feel quite ill. Like I'm about to get the squits or something. Would quite like a day in bed.

victoria401 · 06/05/2014 10:36

From reading the buses, getting the squits seems to be a good sign! A few people on there had funny tummy's and then got a BFP. Don't lose hope yet (but don't get you're hopes up either!)

Cd8 here. Should really jump dh tonight.... Sigh. Such effort! Lol!

How are you today blue? I'd make a same say dr's appointment if I were you hun x

Hope everyone else is ok? X

Sparrowlegs248 · 06/05/2014 11:16

Well I'm at home. Got ready for work, got to the hallway to put shoes on, went hot, terrible tummy cramps. Had to go back upstairs..... Fx its a sign but I am unconvinced so far.

Happy jumping vic

I'm impatient now.

m33r · 06/05/2014 12:32

notta on the edge of my seat. Cautious but excited...

9dpo here. Nothing to report...

xBlueberry88x · 06/05/2014 12:37

Afternoon Ladies,

Notta FX this all means something positive!!

Vicky Not really bleeding today just clumps of icky blood clot bits when I wipe tmi ewww lol.

Ive stopped taking everything apart from the vitamins just incase anything was causing it eg the AC. I dont trust any of the other docs at my clinic annoyingly and they dont have any appointments after half 5 and being on my own at the moment i cant shut the office.

I do have a half day on Thursday so if its still happening I will go to docs wouldnt it be nice if it was a very early pg sign lol

Hope everyone is good its nice and sunny here shame im back at work!!

lil1ady · 06/05/2014 13:52

notta I can't take it. I just want you to poas now!

glad the bleeding has slowed blue

Jessewalt · 06/05/2014 14:06

Day 25 and spotting started. I feel blue. However, a much better cycle than last months 22 day/spotting from day 13 debacle (in hindsight, this was clearly anovulatory). However, I know my body, this is preAF spotting and just pretty fucked off (sorry) that we are not being lucky.
It's our 1 year wedding anniversary this month. I thought we would have a baby by now. Sigh.

ImaginaryHat · 06/05/2014 15:26

Oh Jesse im really sorry, were all here to hold your hand. Spotting really does suck. Allow yourself to feel sad for a while, its only natural and I think we should embrace it when that's how we feel. Hopefully you will feel better in a few days and more positive about your cycle being better than last month.

Have a Wine on me x

Sparrowlegs248 · 06/05/2014 15:26

Oh jessie so sorry AF got you. Its our 1st anniversary this month too. I actually ummed and ahhed about have my last depo jab sept 2012 when i was getting married in may 2013. I wouldn't have minded being pregnany but didn't want a noticable bump.....oh how niaive.

Aaagh everyone calm down!! Lol! Yiu are supposed to be keeping me sane not egging me on. I did a sick burp earlier. Is that a symptom?

I do have the achey hips though so remain tentative as this is a sign af is on the way.

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 06/05/2014 15:32

Notta I'm so full of anticipation for you!! I so so hope you get your BFP, it would just be lovely! Your funny aches and feelings do sound promising, but I don't want to be responsible for getting your hopes up anymore! It is all so bloody complicated trying to work out dates and timing isn't it, best to just put on some good telly or pick up a good book and try to put it out of your mind, we can actually drive ourselves mad with all this. Easier said than done I know!
I am on cd26 today, can't even be bothered working out all my dates and timings this month as I have had such irregular cycles in the past 6 months. I am sat here dreaming about AF not showing up until Sunday, then I can start to get carried away about POAS....
Also ladies you've got me wondering, I too had read that LPs never change, but according to doing the CB opks my LP certainly has varied between 7 and 11 days on various months. Hmm
Victoria Very jealous of your lovely holiday plans, hope you have an absolutely fantastic time, you certainly deserve some R and R.
Blue I am also worried for you now, please will you go and see a Dr?! I really would go on Thursday whether you are still bleeding or not, if it does turn out to be nothing, great, but it might be useful to have it on your med records that it has happened? For any future fertility consultations? FX it won't come to that though of course.

GingerbreadBabyPlease · 06/05/2014 15:36

Sick burp!! Ahaha Notta! Sorry though you're right, gentle and a calm down!! We're all as excitable as teenagers!!

Jesse sorry AF is on her way. How utterly crap and shit for you. But, small silver lining, at least your cycle is a bit more sensible this month, hopefully it will make for lovely healthy fertilise-able eggs next month.

Jessewalt · 06/05/2014 17:53

Thanks ladies. Just about to go home to tell mr Jesse we are out for this month. I hate it when he looks sad x

Sparrowlegs248 · 06/05/2014 18:14

I am wondering whether to tell DH that I'm 'late' but thinking maybe not being as i ovd late, its not really late is it? Not til tomorrow anyway.

Sparrowlegs248 · 06/05/2014 18:24

Thanks ginger

I feel like i've calmed down a bit now. I really really really want this. I know I said DH was a tosser Grin the other day but I do feel having a child would make him. He'd be a great dad.

I will see what tomorrow brings and plan to test thursday if no AF. Reason being that by my late ov calculations, AF is due tomorrow so if not here by thursday, can be considered late!!
