Ooooh Rainy - the urge to pee all the time from around 8dpo has been my only definitive 2ww symptom with both my BFPs. Keeping everything crossed that this is your lucky cycle.

gennibugs · 16/12/2014 08:51

Morning all!

Wasn't sure which thread to post on!

victoria fx AF stays away.
lala good luck for this morning!

cariad - how are you? Gearing up for January?

spinning if you are reading - keep dtd! Grin

11 dpo here and I know I'll be out tomorrow/Thursday. After 13 cycles I know my AF symptoms pretty well! Think this will be my last bus journey as we'll begin our ivf journey in January and think I may be better off on the ivf threads (rather than droning on here about it all!) Eeek! Shock

spinningirl10 · 16/12/2014 08:54

Ah here you all are!!! You can't get rid of me that easilyWinkGrin

Rainy34 · 16/12/2014 08:55

Morning everyone,

8 or 9 dpo, slight spotting when i wiped this morning , not as much as i have had in last months, got a feeling that is signalling af will turn up, only good thing is that it has started a little later then last month!!

spinningirl10 · 16/12/2014 09:03

Oh Rainy, I was hopeful for you peeing lots but just seen your update. Fx af stays away.

Genni, I really hope you stay on these buses as well. I'd miss you and everyone's welcome here however they get their bfp.

victoria401 · 16/12/2014 09:06

Morning genni good luck with the ivf in Jan. I'll be having my iui tho there is not as much support for that compared to ivf :-(

Sorry you've joined the spotting club rainy

nutelladipper · 16/12/2014 09:46

ninja thats interesting but i only take folic acid too. same as victoria. i've no more spotting this morning so looks like a repeat of last month where i'll sit and await my AF to arrive in 5 days time and i'll just pee money up the wall getting BFN's in the meantime!
I've sore boobs today though so have a teeny tiny glimmer of hope!
xx

Rainy34 · 16/12/2014 09:57

Thanks girls , still need to wee once I've drank a little , the spotting is very light ,hopefully it stops , my boobs are still sore , been poking and prodding them like a mad woman

toohardtothinkofaname · 16/12/2014 10:14

Still waiting on OV at CD20. Did soy & acupuncture so thought it would have happened by now. CM started changing yesterday though so fx it happens before the end of the week.

How's everyone holding out?

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 16/12/2014 11:11

Fx Rainy. Peeing frequently is usually an early sign. Hope the spotting stops.

Well 8dpo here. I'm extremely tired but I think that's more to do with the fact that ds3 was ill at the weekend and I had a night out Saturday. I'm also super grumpy but I find this run up to Christmas stressful now as so much to do. Still a bit of cm here last month I had none after ovulation but I'm sure it's not a symptom.

Blimeygirl · 16/12/2014 11:46

Found you all again! I'm a bit rubbish at keeping up to date with all of you! This 2ww stuff is a lot more frustrating than I thought! 8dpo now and no symptoms apart from lack of symptoms if that makes sense! Normally by now I have really sore boobs pre AF but nothing at all which is really strange as I always get this! What do you reckon?!

Congrats for those with BFPs and fingers crossed for those waiting!

Sparkly123 · 16/12/2014 11:47

Hi everyone! I posted on old thread by mistake! Here it is:

Spinning yeh sounds like good advice but do I follow it...?! Ha ha
How annoying about the tests!!!.. Guess you keep dtd does your cm not help you to track alongside the tests? Hoping for a new year BFP for you!!!!

Rosebud still hoping your cycle ends soon!

Good luck Laura! fx

toohardtothink hoping ov happens for you soon!

CD 25 here, 10/11 dpo. Still brown spotting here and feeling pre AF like and today another temp rise. The only difference this month compared to normal cycles is my temp chart, my boobs- as they are usually really painful and swollen pre AF but now they are just slightly achey at sides, and earlier start of spotting. Ahhh! 3 days to go...!

DizzyNorthernBird · 16/12/2014 11:48

Morning all!

Dastardly opks are doing my head in again. Today it's back to being neg.

I clearly haven't got a clue what I'm doing with them Blush. Does anyone know how long they show pos for? What I'm hoping is that I ovulated on Sunday and was still showing pos yesterday (not sure if it works like that though) and the fact I dtd Saturday means I'm still in with a chance I'll ignore the fact I went on top and we lost most of DPs 'fluid' afterwards Xmas Sad

Sorry to keep going on about this, I hope I'm not annoying anyone!

Blimeygirl · 16/12/2014 11:52

Sparkly we obviously have similar boob pain cycles! Glad it's not just me spotting lack of symptoms as symptoms!!

Sparkly123 · 16/12/2014 12:33

Ha ha Blimey agreed!!!... It's a strange one!!! I think I am holding into any hope...!!!

Dizzy I only usually get two positives in arow. I was using OPK cheapies and I found them quite confusing according to the darkness of the line so now I'm using them alongside CB smiles to try and make sense of them. The strong positives on cheapies always give me two days of smiles the. After it starts to fade the smiles disappear. So I'm sticking with CB as it's clearer as I find the cheapies confusing (although quite obviously a better price!!)

Pikz · 16/12/2014 12:44

Just stalking. 11/12dpo here. No Af but bfn so just awaiting the start

RunawayReindeer · 16/12/2014 12:59

When can we test?? Af due on 20th, so dtd quite a lot from 1st- 10th, then got a bit tired Xmas Grin

Boobs seem bigger than normal? Metalliccy taste and a sensitive smell have all come back. Not sure of cm, quite a lot.more than avrrage- good signs??

ElleyBear13 · 16/12/2014 13:11

Morning!

Now on 10dpo AF due on friday......i took a FRER test on sunday (neg) but with the advice you lovely ladies gave im going to hold out testing again till sunday 14dpo. So far only super sore boobs, and nipples sticky outy (tmi!) but it could be a sign of AF. Not hopefully tbh.

Is anyone else due AF on friday? Seems so far away!

Sparkly123 · 16/12/2014 13:26

Elly I'm due Friday too. Had brown spotting this week since last Saturday so not feeling overly hopeful Xmas Sad

ElleyBear13 · 16/12/2014 13:37

sparkly ohh no! dont panic though i had spotting in my last pregnancy in sep, i took four or five tests on the week i was due, neg,neg,neg and the day after AF was due i took a digi but didnt bother reading the result (i was pretty upset by this point and had spotting the week leading to af) when i got home after work there it was in words 'pregnant 1-2 weeks'. I'd love for that to happen again and just thought it might give you some hope!

Ughh roll on friday....

DizzyNorthernBird · 16/12/2014 13:51

Thanks sparkly, will have one more attempt at the cheapy sticks next cycle and if still struggling to make sense of them will try the cb then. Will also pay more attention to what my body is doing, annoyingly I had loads of cm last week but didn't make the most of it while it was there so only dtd twice. Next time it'll be my mission to pounce on DP as much as possible! Xmas Grin.

Fx your spotting is a positive symptom!

runaway fx for you too...that all sounds promising!
