August bus in full summer swing, lightening strikes and symptoms spotting galore!

[Siarie]

New bus ladies, if someone could post the latest stats :)

Congrats Janey and Sarah.
Don't be disheartened Katy there's stil a chance until af arrives - I've got everything crossed for you x

It's this post-2ww that's getting to me now! I'm 16-17 DPO now and nothing - no AF or AF symptoms, BFN despite tons of pregnancy symptoms (although the nausea that I've had for the past few days seems better today). I have no idea what's going on!

Hi Sunbathing I used to take pregnacare until last month. I made quite a few posts on here about how sick they made me feel and how many pregnancy type symptoms I was getting. I never used to have that during 2ww until I started on pregnacare. I decided to stop taking them last month and the cycle I've just had has been so much better! No sickness, nausea, headaches, backaches, cramps or twinges! Now I am just taking folic acid alone, wheat germ oil for vitamin E, coenzyme 10 for healthy eggs and trying EPO on this new cycle to see if it produces more EWCM. A few other people said they were stopping taking them around the same time as me so I think it must be a common thing.

Ditto on the post 2ww... day 38 for me now & fairly certain I ov'd on cd20 :/

sunbathing ive been taking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins and they seem ok - maybe switch to those?

Thanks sunbathing and oh Lordy, I guess all I can keep doing is dtd. Will thin about temping hubbie wasn't v keen last time says it feels to clinic and then this effects our success when dtd will just have to see what happens this's cycle

Ok ladies I caved and just did a test. I think I can see something there (especially if you invert the picture) but I also think I'm going a bit mental! What do you think..?

And this one: www.canyouseealine.com/view_home_pregnancy_test.php?testID=54309

It does appear on an invert that there is a line. I have read on here that the Internet cheapies aren't all that great.

Maybe run out and buy a first response to do in the morning. AF is due today or tomorrow and no signs as yet. FX for all waiting to test.

MaGrat sorry to say all I can see is the line caused by the end of the shiny bit on the test - but if you think you can see a line in the flesh, I agree with Natalie - do you have a FRER?

Thanks Natalie! I'm really not sure! On the second one, if you greyscale it, I think I can see something, but the eyes play tricks after a while! FX for you - baby dust going your way!!

No am saving some tesco tests - am 2 days late today so will hold off for a bit more and see what happens!

Thanks ohlordy think I need to stop testing every day...addicted to POASing!

wow, you have will power! if I saw a hint of a line i'd be peeing on every stick in sight :)
2 days late is a good sign, fx

Literally sooooo tempted to test tomorrow with fmu.

However will only be on day 24 of 28/29 day cycle so far too early!!!

Might get DH to hide them from me so I don't do it!!!!

Congrats janey and sarah on your BFPs, and foscar on your scan!
Sorry to detective and everyone else who is out this month... Sorry I'm on my phone do it's hard to remember all the names before I type!
I've still not plucked up the courage to join an antenatal thread! I was quite panicked by my 'late' BFP and clearblue digi conception indicator not going up according to dates according to my LMP and was convinced I would miscarry. I also had no symptoms (apart from pure panic obviously!). Also was worrying (anyone spot a theme?) as I was so convinced by my many BFNs that I skipped some prenatal vitamins right when I should have taken them
Trying to remain positive now and not test again as worrying will make no difference to the outcome. I think I'm around 6 weeks now and have been feeling sick for about 3 days and my boobs look like I've got a push up bra on!

Fingers crossed for everyone in the agonising 2ww.

ma sorry to be a bad influence but I saw two packs of FRER for £6 in Asda if you are uk based!

(Two in a pack, not two packets)
Sorry for also spamming

Can anyone explain the "lightening vag"?? Had it once early this am

congratulations janey and Sarah on you BFP!!!

Lucieloo - i have been on EPO for two months and i am beginning to wonder if that is causing me to spot in my tww, also the last two months i have noticed the cramps in my stomach a lot more , it may be fine but just watch out for these symptoms

bubalou I won't be cross if you decide to test tomorrow I'm very tempted myself. Have a FRER and it does say 'detects the pregnancy hormone 6 days earlier than the day of your missed period'... Still don't really have any symptoms. When pregnant with DS I had really sore boobs before I tested, don't have anything like that now.

Congratulations to those who have had BFPs and for those who have been got by AF.
