That's great that things are looking good hc899 and fantastic that the line is getting darker! Definitely cramps are completely normal as is feeling as though AF is on her way but hang in there!! Xmas Smile

hc899 · 11/12/2014 12:20

Will do! Hopefully I'll have a positive update for everyone over the weekend. Thanks.

Sparkly123 · 11/12/2014 12:23

Hc899 great news!! Hoping you get confirmation this weekend! Fingers crossed

ShootTheMoon · 11/12/2014 12:27

Hc899 crampy AF feelings are completely normal and I definitely had them when pg with DD!

ShootTheMoon · 11/12/2014 12:31

Sympathy to everyone who is going nuts!

My crampy feelings have disappeared but my word I have horrible heartburn. I only have it when pg, unless it's just all the travel and stress and carby food I have been having lately (lots of work travel, not many options).

BFN on an IC at 9dpo yesterday. AF due in about 4 days I think. I may try again tomorrow morning with an IC.

With DD I tested at about 28 days when AF was about due, just because I had a boozy weekend lined up. Had quite a good line on a supermarket test then.

tessiegirl sorry you're having a rough time. It's possible you've had a chemical pregnancy I.e. egg is fertilised but doesn't quite implant. I had that happen to me in June Sad .
x

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 11/12/2014 14:07

Aargh looks like my creamy cm was the on set of thrush as I'm now tmi slightly itchy to and cm is really thick. Have those that have had thrush just used a pessary as normal.

Congratulations to all those with a BFP. Fx for those that are unsure at the moment.

Sorry to hear a few of us are feeling so down. Hopefully with all the parties and things leading into Christmas now it will leave you with less mind space to think about ttc so much.I keep waking up in the night thinking about presents/food items I need to add to my lists

MissMrsMummy · 11/12/2014 14:57

Sorry tessie what an awful time this has been for you Thanks hope you're ok x

AF is due today and I have had a bit of brown spotting. After my temp dip yest (11dpo) I'm presuming she will be here today or tomorrow, but I'm also telling myself that yesterday could have been an implantation dip and today's spotting is implantation bleeding. Oh, how I love to tease myself!

Run out of frers and my Boots order is delayed so can't even poas! Boring.

Hope you are all ok

Treaclepie19 · 11/12/2014 16:28

Haha MrsE ill test on Sunday when af is due.
Mines going mad. Probably just eczema.

I want some snow!!!

nutelladipper · 11/12/2014 18:06

victoria I'm due on 19th too but wish I confidently say I wont test early too but I know I will! Fingers crossed for the 19th.

nicelyneurotic · 11/12/2014 18:21

Don't give up yet Tessiegirl.

And hc899 - hooray for the strong positive! Great news. Good luck to everyone else who's testing today and tomorrow.

Despite 3 bfn, I'm not giving up hope as AF is now 3 days late.

I don't think I showed positive on a test until around 5 weeks pregnant with my first so I'm going to wait and see.

DizzyNorthernBird · 11/12/2014 18:36

Afternoon all. Will read back later, just need to get something off my chest, if I may be so blunt.....

Bllocks, Bllocks, Bllocks, Bllocks, B*llocks!!!

So, I received my opk sticks before the weekend. Carefully read the instructions, and it said for a 35 day cycle start testing from cd17. On Tuesday, it was cd13 but I was intrigued and eager to start testing, so I went ahead and did one. Got two lines, one being fainter, so negative but no surprise as was well early. So today, cd16 I've tested again, out of pure noseyness, but it's now only got one line....? So a complete neg? Wtf? I'm confused now. What does this mean, I'm hoping it won't mean I've ov'd early? Do you revert back to faint second lines after ov? Does the fact I've now only got one mean there's less lh now than on monday?

Did dtd on Tuesday but obviously that won't have had any bearing. Have had lots of ewcm this week though.

Any comments gratefully appreciated!!Xmas Grin

Maths88 · 11/12/2014 18:51

Hi

I've been reading the bus posts since coming off the pill in September but didn't get my period until the end of November - not surprised really as I've been on hormonal contraception for 12 years and hadn't had a period at all for months due to being on cerazette.

Anyway period came at end of November, had some ewcm but still neg opk today on cd16.

So I'm 26 and dh is 27, we've been together 10 years and finally decided in September that we would start trying, so I'm very excited!!

Stats cycle 1 ttc no 1, bfp due - who knows?? - but Ovia reckons 24th December

Rainy34 · 11/12/2014 19:27

hc899 - glad the lines are getting stronger!!

Tessie- hope AF stays away and you get bp soon

Hi Maths welcome to the mad bus!!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 11/12/2014 19:33

Hi Maths Smile

RoseBud2015 · 11/12/2014 20:00

Victoria and Nutella I'm due to poas on 19th December too! It's also the day DH and I leave for Christmas in Dubai so either way I know it's going to be a very exciting day!!! Grin

Dizzy I had a almost positive opk followed by weaker and weaker opks on the following couple of days so think I missed it too! And I was testing twice a day since cd14!! Grr! I've guessed I ov'ed on Sunday sometime but who knows!

Maths Hi! AF took 54 days to return after 15 years on Femodene so know the excitement you are feeling well! Just started the 2ww of my 1st cycle trying now- yay!

xBlueberry88x · 11/12/2014 20:04

Dizzy You can get lines on opks any time in a cycle as lh is always in your system I would keep testing you might not have missed it!

alien11 · 11/12/2014 20:13

Feel so rude not reading back through but never have time ?? cd27 here brown spotting & according to opks I'm 7dpo so can't work it out!!

Nordicmom · 11/12/2014 20:16

Haven't quite caught up sorry but congrats on the BFP toothache and thinking of you tessie fx . Sorry to those AF got .
My tests went back to negative and had some more bleeding although much less heavy so I reckon it was another damn cp. I'm taking a break over the holidays at least .we'll be on Finland and i don't want to ruin our trip . not sure about jan either maybe I will next go for the ivf although possibly two more cycles of soy will be first in order so I feel I've given it a proper chance .

Treaclepie19 · 11/12/2014 20:40

Work party tomorrow... I'm sure I can test at 8dpo... right? ;p

So sorry to hear that Nordic x

tessiegirl · 11/12/2014 20:51

Ah thank you everyone for your kind words. I am feeling much better today. I have had a bit of brown spotting so waiting for AF to arrive in full flow now.

tooth I did wonder about a chemical pregnancy - is there anything in particular than can cause them or is it just one of those things? Is there anything I could have done differently to make the egg implant properly?

Thinking of you Nordic

Welcome Maths!

nutelladipper · 11/12/2014 20:55

rosebud fingers crossed it's a doubly exciting day then! Very jealous

Quietlyhopeful81 · 11/12/2014 21:13

Sorry to hear your news Nordic Thinking of you.

You too, tessie, though you aren't out til she arrives full force, right?

11dpo here today. Af expected tomorrow judging by cramping and headaches, which will actually make her a day early. Not had a temp drop yet, in fact it went up .2 this morning, but to be fair it was an hour later than I usually wake up and take it so that probably explains it.

I've been reading the soy thread today and noticed you were on it for a bit, frolic. Do you still use it? Do you think it's worth a go?

Quietlyhopeful81 · 11/12/2014 21:14

Oooh and forgot to say, welcome maths Smile
