It's similar at our place too :( I'm a teacher so ive got two weeks but I have got a lot of work to get done over the holiday :(

Thanks MrsE, I'll try.

Treaclepie19 · 10/12/2014 21:21

Thanks Blueberry, i finish on the 19th x

Sparkly123 · 10/12/2014 22:17

Hi everyone will read back and catch up again.. Such a fast moving thread! But to all having a hard time sending positive thoughts and hugs and to those with BFPs or almost confirmed BFP congrats!

I'm only 4dpo according to FF however I think I am 6dpo according to when I think I ovulated and my bbt rise. Tonight and today I've been feeling really tired and had a bad headache also had lots of twinges and cramping pains in lower pelvis and also near my belly button..usually I would disregard all this especially at this point post ovulation..however just went upstairs to bathroom (tmi incoming..) and had an unbelievable amount of cm?! Quite wet but with creamy white bits in if that makes sense? Sorry sorry totally tmi! My question is... Anyone had similar?? I never get this at this point in my cycle!! Blueberry sorry my memory is like a sieve do I recall you saying something similar??

Thanks in advance for any advice,
(Probably reading way too much into all of it..!!! Ah the joy of the TWW!)

Sparkly123 · 10/12/2014 22:20

Blueberry checked back there.. Internally you said. That's what I saw when I looked inside with a mirror (ah can't believe I just said that. Officially lost the plot...!)

Treaclepie19 · 10/12/2014 22:20

I have a new symptom! Itchy head. It's driving me mad. Thought I'd caught something from work but can't find anything.

Could be a symptom sparkly :)

Treaclepie19 · 10/12/2014 22:25

Ok I was joking but after googling, my itchy scalp could be a symptom! :p

Cariad2014 · 10/12/2014 22:30

Hogs congratulations on your BFP Tooth. Here's to a happy and healthy nine months.

Sorry to all those having a rubbish time.

Treacle - hang on in there. I really hope this is your cycle. I for one am with you in counting down the days I have left at work before Christmas. I so can't wait for 2014 to be over!

Trixie and Spinning - I'm definitely in on the mulled wine front. Trixie - it would be fab to see you on the January bus, but if you do decide to take some time out, promise you'll keep us updated.

Sorry your appointment was so unhelpful Victoria.

Tessie and Nordic - thinking of you both - I was in that limbo land where I'd had a BFP but things didn't seem quite right for 12 days with my ectopic and it was awful - I really wouldn't wish that on anyone. Hopefully, the outcome for you will be positive.

Clinging onto the fact that MrsE will be right and January will bring with it a bumper crop of BFPs. I am reliably informed by Wikioedia that 16 September is the world's most common birthday (with conception on or around Christmas Eve), so to all those

Treaclepie19 · 10/12/2014 22:42

Thanks Cariad x

My DH and his brother and a friend of ours were all born on 20th sept.
I'm hoping it will be this month though. Don't want to wait another month :p

Frolicacid · 10/12/2014 22:49

Good evening!
A tentative congrats to new bfp's. I hope those of you in limbo get some answers soon. Sorry some of you are feeling down today. It's not Not easy business Flowers

7 dpo today. Our chances this month are pretty slim due to not timing dtd well. But I've started symptom spotting. Can someone send me a grip please?

I know about 5 people with 17th sept birthdays!

Cariad2014 · 10/12/2014 23:04

Waves back at Frolic. I find symptom spotting unavoidable even in months (like this one) where I'm not even ttc.

Sorry for the nonsensical end to my last post - I have no idea where that final sentence disappeared to!

Rainy34 · 10/12/2014 23:20

Hi everyone hope all that are in limbo get there bfp,

I got ewcm on Saturday and positive opk on Sunday , I feel a lot calmer this month ,trying hard not to symptom spot but it's hard , having creamy cm and noticed a slight brown mark through it so not sure if it is the start of my usual spotting, I'm
Hoping not, dh is really hopeful this month , I feel like I am the one that is so negative , kept telling him not to get his hopes up
Got my pelvic scan on Saturday , not sure if we get told anything on the day of there findings or if it goes to doctor first

SueBridehead · 11/12/2014 07:42

Hi all,

I'm on cd 33 now, still no af but am too scared to test as am convinced it's coming. Have had cramps on and off for a few days and keep expecting to see it make an appearance. My cycles have ranged from 28- 34 days since I've been tracking it so am going to wait until day 35 before I cave.

Anyone else testing soon?

SueBridehead · 11/12/2014 07:46

Frolic, what symptoms are you spotting? I'm just having typical AF style ones but also a few waves of nausea (have 'had' this other cycles before af has made an appearance though)

Frolicacid · 11/12/2014 07:59

Good morning!
sue, I have terrible digestion, exhaustion, cramping and lots of creamy cm. I've had a temp dip soft to the cover line this morning, so who knows what it means.
I'm not hopeful, but can't seem to help myself.
I am also obsessed with looking at the 'charts like mine' thing on ff.

I hope everyone has a good day. It's almost the weekend again Xmas Smile

dillydollydarling · 11/12/2014 08:04

Think I ovulated a little later than FF thought I would but I'm not temping or using opks. Didn't have any ewcm last cycle so don't think I ovulated then!

How soon would symptoms actually appear? Treaclepie mentioned itchy scalp, mine has been driving me mad the past 2 days! I'm sure it's way too early for symptoms though

Frolicacid · 11/12/2014 08:08

Soft to the cover line? I meant down to the cover line!
I've never had such a big dip this early in my lp before.

I'm snuggling in bed with frolic dog and can't seem to force myself to get up.

What are your non ttc symptoms cariad? I was symptom spotting before ovulation this cycle Confused

nutelladipper · 11/12/2014 08:40

Ooh hello bump buddy victoria, when are you testing? I'm only cd 18 but suspect a 26 day cycle. So 8 days to go! I've got 4 FRER sat upstairs so I'll no doubt test come Monday! Haha

We only dtd three times this month so who knows if one of those produced the strong swimmer!

Good luck!

Congrats to bfps.

X

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2014 08:45

Morning Grin

Frolic, temp dip now could be implantation?! Fx for you.

Nordic, I hope you've made a doctors appointment. You need to find out what's going on. Fx it's good news.

Is anyone poas today?Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 11/12/2014 09:49

Treacle when are you testing? Your itchy head has set me off this morning! Lol Grin

crazypuglady · 11/12/2014 10:13

I worked out af is due some time between today and Saturday. And promptly woke up this morning with the tell tale cramps Sad. Think that's me unceremoniously kicked off the bus.

tessiegirl · 11/12/2014 10:19

Morning everyone.
So, an update - I caved and did another CB digi test last night on day AF is due - I just couldn't take the not knowing feeling any longer - but it was a bfn Xmas Sad Then I thought, do I believe it though, could it still be too early as CB are not the most sensitive of tests? So, still none the wiser really, and in my crazed mood I even took the test apart and googled what the lines on the test strips inside could mean! Omg, this ttc thing sends you absolutely crazy, doesn't it?!!!!! Xmas Confused After completely confusing myself even more I went to bed early where DH found me a curled up quivering wreck crying under the duvet. I think after days being on an emotional rollercoaster it had finally all got to me. I had another good old sob letting it all out and then we laid and chatted about everything.
Today, having let some of the pent up emotions out I feel slightly better. My temp has plummeted towards the coverline further this morning and I am just hoping AF would arrive now, so I know where I stand and I guess a day late wouldn't be too bad. I just can't get so emotional like this every cycle as it could potentially be a very long road.
I'm still so confused as temps were so high this month, plus that spotting I had 8dpo and the faint line I thought was on the frer...but maybe I was mistaken after all??? I guess this is just the way ttc can be sometimes and my god, it is bloody hard!! Hats off to all those who have done this month after month after month, you are all fab and we will get there Xmas Smile

victoria401 · 11/12/2014 10:28

Oh tessie so sorry :-(

treacle big hugs to you too. What are we like eh? Wonder what it was about yesterday to have so many of us as blubbering wrecks?!

nutella I don't test early! Due on Dec 19th as have long lp and 29-31 day cycles.

hc899 · 11/12/2014 10:56

Really sorry Tessiegirl. Hope it all works out for you soon - you've been my cycle buddy this month!

tessiegirl · 11/12/2014 11:09

Thank you Victoria and hc899

Have you done any more tests yet hc899? I hope it works out for at least one of us!

hc899 · 11/12/2014 11:34

Thanks Tessiegirl - I caved and did another frer this morning and got a pink line that was as dark as the test line. Tricky to know when AF due exactly as my cycles seem to be between 31 and 34 days (today is CD31), so am going to try and not test using the CB digi until at least Sat. We'll see. I was a bit worried last night because I was having some period like cramps and thought AF was arriving, but I googled it and apparantly that's normal for some pregnancies and there's no sign of AF yet today. I am going to the loo about every hour as I'm totally paranoid!
