We've had a few BFPs so far this month but we want (and deserve) more! One last thread to finish off July in style!

Kitty I'm rooting for option number two for you! GrinXxxx

Cpt1sock · 24/07/2014 10:46

brixton if I get to Tuesday without AF I will test. I'm still getting twinges and cramps so not getting hopes up. We are having August off ttc, we will be in a tent over fertile days so just going to relax, ditch the opks and enjoy time out with dh & kids.

Next cycle is no.4 for us, I'm hoping the anxiety will lessen with each cycle as I get used to the different signs and feelings. I'm also seeing each cycle as another 4 weeks to eat healthily and get body as prepared as possible for pg.

kitty have you resisted testing since seeing dr?

Cpt1sock · 24/07/2014 10:48

siarie no pressure but think this bus needs a BFP ASAP Grin fx crossed for you xxx

KittyVonCatsington · 24/07/2014 10:57

Tested this morning with a FRER Capt but a BFN.
I firmly believe that we are destined to meet our future children when their time is come so each cycle, is just a cycle nearer. Smile

As if by magic, my doorbell just went and it was my new hpts and soy isoflavones for next cycle. Now all I need as AF!!!

kitty that's a lovely way of looking at it and I am going to remember that next time I start getting all negative.

brixton I'm at work (on phone) but will think of any advice later from my experience.

I've had a headache for 2 days now. I only have ibuprofen but it says not to take if ttc. but the pain is really bad now.

Siarie · 24/07/2014 11:04

cpt I'll try my best ;) on the plus side just notice serious blue veins have appeared on my bbs! I mean there is usually nothing and I've got one that is so big it's going into the nipple area and still visible! Lol sorry again tmi, never seen this before.

Siarie · 24/07/2014 11:04

Oh my god it's not just one the otherside is like it too!

fattycow · 24/07/2014 11:04

I tested yesterday morning, it was a bfn. Not too disappointed, as I was a bit early with testing (period is due today or tomorrow). I just couldn't help myself...

Siarie · 24/07/2014 11:16

Whoops I sound a bit irrational and over excited, these are not the little veins that you get on your BBS normally these are strange big veins that are going straight to the centre. Very large, very dark and I've not seen those before please section me as I am crazy.

Fattycow It's still early hun, do you know when you might have implanted at all?

BrixtonBunny · 24/07/2014 11:21

Siarie I have deffo read that's a good sign!!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/07/2014 11:36

Getting into the holiday spirit! Just had a manicure and pedicure and waiting about to have a tan!

ChandlersFarang · 24/07/2014 11:40

Siarie that really does sound like a symptom!! Shock

Brixton - I sacked someone under the civ service performance management scheme - can you believe!!! Nobody ever gets sacked for being crap (well not enough in my dept, IMHO..!). Jokes aside it was really tough but just make sure you wrote everything down and get HR to coach you through the steps so you're doing it 100% by the book!! As long as you're friendly and honest and do these two things it shouldn't go wrong!

Nordic - Fx for the implantation bleed!! Remember you're on holiday - perfect time for your body to feel relaxed. Well timed!! Smile

fattycow · 24/07/2014 11:43

I did have some very light spotting at cd18. I'm at cd 31 today. I'm thinking cd18 could have been either ovulation or implantation. Or just my body being annoying.
I don't really keep charts or anything like that, as I would drive myself mental and would become obsessed.

Siarie · 24/07/2014 11:56

Brixton well thats good since I feel an alien, it looks horrible almost dead like as its blue. You aren't meant to see your insides like that! Gosh.

Civ Service never get performance management sackings :O that's impressive! Job for life normally no matter how crap you are.

fattycow Difficult to say, If you knew implantation I could throw some maths and stats around. I got ovulation craps (ouch) and implantation cramps (not so ouch).

Latest update is nausea, bad times as it's lunch time and I don't really want to eat anything now :(

KittyVonCatsington · 24/07/2014 11:58

genni It's okay to take Asprin so get yourself some of those. And drink lots more water. Headaches can mean your progesterone is working overtime-let's hope it is working overtime for a reason!

Veiny boobs are also a good sign Saire!!

Those BFNs are bloody horrible to see fattycow - you have my sympathies!

Siarie · 24/07/2014 11:58

MrsExtra I could do with a mani and pedi right now, my nail have got so strong since I've been taking all the vitamins.

Nordicmom · 24/07/2014 12:01

Siarie, got my fx for u !
Kitty I hope you'll soon know one way or another.
Spinning glad your holiday is going well !I'd like to drive around Italy too when dd is older have only been to Rome and Venice so far and loved it.
I've had no more blood but feeling crappy with more or less constant mild cramping and lower back ache . Boobs hurting on and off and still nauseous . Just lied in bed all day but will go swimming and out to dinner later. The boys will go to beach to go sailing and standup paddle boarding after lunch when me and dd nap . We missed nap yesterday and both felt hideous by evening . Will think about a private car sightseeing tour . We are In a remote and quiet location which I love but it means getting in a car on windy roads to go anywhere which is not nice feeling sick . Would like to see something else than the resort in this country I haven't been too before and won't visit again anytime soon since have a long list of other places I haven't been too yet :). Dd 2y is a bit of a pickle ATM though so not easy to take around some ruins in this heat . Might have to go with just ds and leave her here with DH .

MrsExtraOrdinary · 24/07/2014 12:16

Siare do it! I feel quite rejuvenated although at tad sticky! Grin I'm not taking any tests with me and I refuse to dwell on 2ww while I'm away!

Cpt1sock · 24/07/2014 12:42

kitty that's a really nice way to look at ttc, very positive.

siarie blue, veiny boobs is a very good sign, something to do with increased blood flow I think.

fatty sorry you got bfn yesterday, hope it was just too early and a BFP is round the corner.

nordic hope you have a lovely time with ds if you make it out with him.

BrixtonBunny · 24/07/2014 13:14

Chandlers that's good advice, thanks. The woman is still on probation so in a sense it's easier but I feel like such a bitch telling her I want to improve Sad

Oh and not sure who was saying it the other day but it's true - I walk down the street and it seems like the whole world is upduffed apart from me! Envy

Siarie · 24/07/2014 13:18

Misty Hey, yeah I'm certain my dates are right. I tested this morning but BFN, I am deffo 8/9 dpo and think I'm 24hrs since implantation so HCG levels won't be high enough yet.

I could maybe get a BFP this evening or tomorrow but depends on my starting level. Going to try and not test until the morning again now as I don't want to keep seeing BFN because I get annoyed that I let myself test so early lol xx

Nordicmom · 24/07/2014 13:20

Cpt thanks , I shall try to manage something if this bloody pain stops. Looking back now at last cycle I think I had this horrible pain for one day on 8 dpo and then a faint positive on 11 dpo and 12 dpo and then bleeding on 12 dpo onwards . Aargh dammit . Didn't have this bleeding to go with the pain on that 8 dpo then though like today 7 dpo . None since the morning then

BrixtonBunny · 24/07/2014 13:21

I've just popped out to grab a sandwich and seen four pregnant ladies! Four! Hmm
