New bus ladies!

Morning all

sorry to ninja and autumn that AF arrived.

hello mrsg nice to see you.

cariad fx AF shows (not often we say that on here!!)

spinning hopefully your birthday is a good sign!!!! you must be a Capricorn like me then?

victoria I'm hoping so hard this is your month.

No AF here but woke with the most awful cramps this morning. I was clutching on to DH and had broken out into a cold sweat. They are still there now and I have the most awful headache so think AF will be here any minute to be honest! Ah well, roll on 2015!

Nutella, yes you can pee in a pot and keep that until you have a test.

Genni and Victoria, sorry to hear you're both still waiting! Those cramps sound awful Genni. Yes I'm a Capricorn and so is dp, his birthday is New Year's Eve, day after mine

Morning! Im still lurking.... bluesky massive hugs, so so sorry. Take it easy over the holidays xxx. spinning fingers crossed! Hope you get your bfp for your birthday! autum ughh blooming af! Hopefully 2015 will be a good start for you! genni and victoria fingers and tootsies crossed for you. Well its friday and as usual i couldnt wait and poas last night......a digi i didnt hold much out as the frers were very faint so was suprised and delighted to get 'the official' bfp. :D thank you again for your support!! nutella any more news? Have you peed on another stick? Im rooting for my cycle buddy hehe!

Congrats elley! I hope it's a sticky one for you xx

Sorry you're in so much pain genni, do you always get it that bad? I usually get awful cramps and have to take paracetamol and ibuprofen at the same time to keep me from passing out! Imagine me in labour!! Hope you feel better soon x

Congrats elley xx

Congratulations elley! I bet the feeling of seeing it printed on a digi is fantastic.

Oh so this time of year is a busy one in your house then spinning!

victoria - Most of the time it's like this. Every so often it's painful but manageable. In fact last month was fine so this is obviously just a bad one! Just pleased I'm wFH today. You have my sympathies if you always suffer badly.

In case anyone is wondering - still no sign of my delivery, the latest is that it's either lost or en route. Helpful - not! I'd quite like to know which of the two it is!!

Well had the very faint bfp on Tuesday at 11dpo. AF was due today and thought I'd see if I get the cb "pregnant" but not had chance to get a test so hubby is going to buy it and he'll be home from work at 3pm so I peed in a pot this am so I'll let you know at 3pm if I get the official bfp!

Bluesky So sorry. You deserve to get very merry over Christmas and new year. I hope you get your BFP again in March/April. Sending very unmumsnetty hugs.

Autumn sorry af arrived.

Victoria your symptoms sound good but it's so hard to tell.

Nutella I'm sure you will see your big fat PREGNANT on the cb digital. Exciting.

Well I'm about 11 dpo. Due Avon Monday if I go back to my usual 31 day cycle and Christmas Day if it's the same as last month. I don't really have any symptoms I have felt a bit of a tugging feeling in my uterus but I'm cleaning the house like a mad woman so could be all the bending and stretching. I have had creamy cm and lots of it today. Is that usually a sign of af arriving? Last month I had no cm at all between ovulation and af.

Haha I'm not due any Avon I meant af on

Beautician I think cm is a good sign!
I had no signs, I honestly peed to the stick and then wrote bfn in my app and pottered about the room. It was only when I picked it up to chuck in the bin I noticed the second line. I felt very tired but I always do!
Good luck

Cariad have you not dtd at all this cycle unprotected. Wouldn't it be funny if when you weren't really trying you got a BFP. If not hurry up af

Thanks Nutella. I have been tired but like you said I'm pretty much always tired especially this time of year with so much to do. Did you use a frer to start. Hopefully you will be lucky and not get the dreaded morning sickness

Yep I used a frer.
Well I have been lucky to escape morning sickness with my last two so fingers crossed it's the same this time! Third child will be our last so I'm hoping It is a good pregnancy so I can enjoy it! X

BlueSky i am so sorry for your loss, big big Xmas hugs xx

Bluesky, I'm sending a hug too. From what I remember about some of the chats you had with your DH I'm sure he will look after you at Christmas. Hope that Christmas can be a distraction at least, even if it's because there's slightly better stuff on TV. Lots of Love xx

It's officia. I got the cb digital bfp!!
I'm trying to think if I did anything differently so I can share the wealth! I know I was much more relaxed this month. I dtd on cycle day 10, 12 & 13 I was using cb digital dual hormone tests. I got a flashy on cd10, static on cd12.

I didn't take any vitamins apart from folic acid.

Symptoms were exhaustion, I had spotting on 10 dpo, I also had sore boobs on 11dpo but nothing hugely unusual.

Now at 14dpo I feel even more tired despite getting 10.5 hrs sleep last night. I haven't got any creamy cm, sensitive smell or metallic taste like previous pregnancies.

I hope that helps someone!

Congrats on getting your BFP's in words nutella and Elley.

Sorry for the BFN's and AF arrivals to those who have had them.

So sorry to hear about your ectopic Bluesky. I don't usually drink so feel free to have some on my behalf.

Like MrsGingerbread I haven't been about much in order to try to not be too obsessive about things like I have in previous months. Coincidentally, MrsGingerbread, we seem to be cycle buddies as I am also 8dpo with an AF/BFP date of Christmas Eve. Got a cold which isn't shifting so no idea if it is affecting my BBT but had it before OV so hopefully shouldn't be much of an impact. My chart isn't giving much away at this point.

Yay congrats nutella!

Still no af here. Got 'watery mouth' and no appetite today. Imagining a metal taste in my mouth and gross tasting tap water. Still not thinking anything of it though. Af will prob come tomorrow instead. Won't test til Sunday. Going to the shops Sunday. Will either need to buy more tampons or a test.... After 2 years why should this be different?

Congrats nutella x

Hi everyone
great you got your official pregnant on the cb digital, hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy

Looks like i won't need to test tomorrow as the witch has shown up, had the nausea this morning like i had with previous months so i have expected it. i have had a good old cry on dh shoulder, he said not to worry that it will happen, just feels so out of reach, anyway il be able to get drunk on christmas day now!!!

i am going to try the old style ovulation tester, do i set it as day 1 tonight or start tomorrow, i will likely be doing my testing at half 6 in the morning so it would make sense to me to wait till then but i am unsure as i have started tonight? can anyone make any sense!!!

Victoria i got my fingers crossed for you, sounds promising!!! xx

Nutella, yay for the digi bfp

Rainy, sorry af arrived. Pleased you have a lovely Dh for a cuddle. Enjoy some wine over Christmas and good luck in January

Victoria, fx af stays away.

Genni, yes an expensive time of year. Between Christmas and new year there are also 2 other close family members and they both have big birthdays this year!

Rainy so sorry about af - she is a grinch.

Yay for Nutella and Ellie! Congrats!

Need advice as have been largely lurking this month. So cd24 of mental long cycles and after 10 flashing cb dual it went blank..and 10days of blank ic opks. thought I had another ov free cycle of epic lengths. So tested just now on a ic opk - was my last one. And it showed this... I am in a flap now - is this have ov or about to? Please advise as need to jump on a drunk dh later or sleep in spare room as he will be drunk and snores !Who says love is dead!

Toots, I think you need to dtd tonight, even with a drunk dh
