Oh bloody hell poly sorry - cross posted there!

Owlie84 · 13/03/2014 09:32

Looking good Choccy!! Love that we can post photos now!

PolytheneGirl · 13/03/2014 09:39

Thanks ladies. I've just got to get through the next few days and try again, although I think it might be our last month of trying as I'm due a check up for my eye condition in April and if I need treatment again, well let's just say pregnancy and treatment would not mix well. So it will probably mean at least a 4 month break.

Notta don't worry about it! I wish I was still at the boob weighing stage! Lol.

Poly sorry to read AF got you. It sucks sometimes, it really does.

FX choccy but pic looking good!

Well Im 12dpo and day 5 of flashing smileys so no idea whats going on. Just going to keep DTD as much as possible - at the moment trying for every day. I really really hope this is our month. If no BFP this month then I think we are going to have to wait until May as DH away on work alot in April - which just seems so so far away and makes me feel Sad

Zermatt · 13/03/2014 10:12

Drinking in the 2ww - thoughts? (Hi btw)

sazzlehopes · 13/03/2014 10:29

Zermatt, personally I did. I actually had a more heavy night for me out in the 2ww i fell preggo. I had some months I was better than others if I wasn't doing much...I never went crazy but I didn't refuse. You resent AF so much more if you've put your life on hold. You find out you're preggo so early now with these sensitive tests that I doubt very much that you can do any harm. Of course like everything it is a personal choice, but I wouldn't stress about it if you want a few glasses of wine on a night out!

Choccywoccydodah · 13/03/2014 10:29

Genni are you cd rather than dpo?

Zermatt I don't, but I don't drink anyway much so I don't miss it :)

Poly, sorry AF got you. Defo get that chocolate cake in you and try not to lose hope already for april - you never know. I ov at a completely different time of the month I fell, it caught me by surprise...so it might not matter your OH being away.... Thanks

MrsExtraOrdinary · 13/03/2014 11:30

I'm sorry poly Sad wine and cake and a little cry. We are here to cheer you up! Smile

English welcome home! Thanks

Ginger I still have a sore throat! Wink

Extra news! Nipple status.....sticky outie! Tummy still cramping! Weeing more than usual. And I'm nowhere near bfp so I'm clearly going insane! Shock

GeorgieWilson · 13/03/2014 11:55

Doh! Just posted on the old bus!!

Sorry about AF poly.

Hi Ladies! I'm keeping up with all your news despite being kicked off the bus on the 2nd , just need to read back and catch up from yesterday. But while I'm doing that I'm wondering if any of you can help me with a opk question.
I started using the cb advanced ones yesterday - which was cd 11 for me and got a blank circle as expected - last two cycles have been 41 and 43 days (the only 2 since bf). PIAC this morning and dipped my second stick then wandered round to faff about packing for DS swimming lesson. I came back to look at it and I don't think it was more than 8 minutes but the screen was blank, I kinda pulled the stick out a little and pressed back in and got a flashing smiley. Is this a real result (I wouldn't expect one for another couple of weeks based on last couple and was only poas because I like to!) or an error as I fiddled with it?

Ps - so pleased your line is getting darker choccy

gennibugs · 13/03/2014 11:56

oh yes i am CD not DPO - thanks Choccy Grin
What is wrong with me? I can barely string a sentence together lol

toots123 · 13/03/2014 12:10

Hi girls! Zermat - im a yes to drinking in the tww haha. I might struggle to give up wine if I get pg Blush

Second flashing smiley this morning so will dtd tonight and hope for a fixed smiley soon

EnglishGirlAbroad · 13/03/2014 12:22

Zermatt - yes I drink. Not loads, but I dont deprive myself either. When that bfp comes I'll happily give up! On another note, its 8 days since no caffeine - gave up for lent! Am not missing it at all!! Go me!!

Georgie - I would say that yes that is the real result. Maybe this is the beginning of your cycles settling. But also could be that you'll have a few days of flashing smileys before it settles.

GeorgieWilson · 13/03/2014 12:44

Thanks English - Hope it is. Would be lovely to stay on the lucky march bus and squeeze in at the end.

MrsGingerbread · 13/03/2014 12:50

Poly so sorry about af's appearance.

MrsE so glad to hear! My neck is still stiff and my hair is HUGE. Grin

Apart from that, no signs at all. Boobs and tummy completely normal. :( I feel distinctly unpregnant and am already planning a treat for myself when af turns up in 10 days. Smile

Who's peeing next?

Zermatt · 13/03/2014 12:54

Thanks for that everyone. Was beating myself up over 2 glasses of wine I had tonight, met up with a friend and didn't want to talk about the ttc and she wouldn't have bought a kidney infection/antibiotics type spiel, actually was lovely after not having anything for 3 weeks!

nicx240187 · 13/03/2014 12:59

ahhhhh!!!!
no af yet, usually would be here this am, said to hubby this morning, if nothing happens before sat (his next day off with me) we shall test then.

But I am very much aware there are about 30 Amazon cheapies upstairs right now! I need something to occupy myself.

btw, still no symptoms, just tired all the time. I said this month I wouldnt overthink it etc. But this is my first day that af has not arrived prompt for fmu (period apps said she should have been here yesterday, but my maths make her due today)

Help me, Im going mad!!

Spotti · 13/03/2014 13:00

feeling proud of myself today as I've not POAS for 3 whole days now!<

Still not sure what's going on with me but if this cycle is as long as my last one, then I'm guessing AF is due on Saturday (35 days - wtf?!)...either that or I'm preggers already... wink wink

I think I'm about 20-23dpo (I seem to OV early - currently on cd 33!) but I've not used OPKs so it's all a bit 'guessed' bought some for next time...which I obviously won't be needing Wink . I'm desperate to POAS, maybe just to stick fingers up at Mother Nature that I got there first just in case AF decides to appear, but I really don't want to see a bfn not that I ever believe them...it's the monthly bleed that convinces me that I'm not upduffed!. Hmph. Determined to wait until at least tomorrow but realistically it would be more sensible to wait until I'm actually late (I.e. Sunday)...am I likely to be able to wait that long? Hmm...

Had to LOL at the dragon dick link!

Sorry to hear about AF Poly. Thanks Cake xxx

EnglishGirlAbroad · 13/03/2014 13:03

Sounds promising Nicx, FX for you!!

Think we need an update.... MrBsMrs Where are you? We havent had a bfp in a few days. Come on girls.

Gimme a B

sazzlehopes · 13/03/2014 13:04

gennibugs · 13/03/2014 13:11

missmrsmummy · 13/03/2014 13:43

Gah. I am clearly mental. I read online that someone tested with an OPK at 6dpo and got a positive. So I did one! Nothing was coming up in the first few mins so I binned it. Then came back ages after to look out of curiosity and there was a line. Tell me I'm stupid and this is an evap line? But it was pink, not grey!

Should not have peed!

missmrsmummy · 13/03/2014 13:51

And now I am reading that you should under no circumstances use an OPK as a hpt. Dr Google is really telling me off Sad
