Glad you're still hanging around keeping an eye on us blueberry! How are you feeling?

xBlueberry88x · 16/12/2014 18:59

You cant get rid of me...im ok little nausea and a horrible migraine at the mo grrr are you ok?

Bovnydazzler · 16/12/2014 19:07

nutella and ellie eeeek I can see your lines!! Hope they get good and strong over the next couple of days. A good day on the bus.

victoria glad spotting has gone away, I really hope this is your month, if not hopefully it means timing will be better for the clinic in January.

cantbelieve your cycles sound long, it is so frustrating isn't it and makes you feel irrationally jealous of those with short cycles! Mine were between 50-93 and I've been prescribed clomid as regular testing showed no ovulation, I was fairly impressed at length of time from GP -specialist-clomid for me (about 5months).

I'm potentially 5dpo and bloated... weary I may have mild ovulation hypersensitive syndrome from the clomid as its not a normal feeling for me. Keeping an eye on it in case it gets worse but it's pretty mild now, don't want to go to doctors over a mild bloating feeling and for them to say to stop taking clomid! I will keep an eye on it though, if it gets worse I'll speak to doc.

Hello all and congrats to Elley and nutella!

Hoping that today would be 1dpo but there was no temp rise this morning as expected. I will be pissed off if I don't ovulate now as dh and I gave it a good go and we both need a rest!

Sparkly123 · 16/12/2014 19:34

Oh my goodness!!! nutella!!! And elley amazing!!!! So exciting!!!! And a cycle buddy too! This is a great news for the December bus!!! Hope your lines continue to get stronger !!

spinning fingers crossed for temp confirming ov for you!!!

rainy my spotting is more like brown blood now rather than mucas like (tmi!!) hope your is a good sign!!!

Rosebud I'm with you girl!! You know what's strange? Every other month in desperate to test early.. This month im sadly not as I feel like it's a given AF coming! I'm usually a really positive thinker but this spotting has thrown me as it's exactly what I get on the lead up Sad been having cramps constantly since weekend and also lower back ache which is the only thing different. Oh and this metallic taste in my mouth since yesterday that I am very likely imagining!!Rubbish rubbish rubbish! I need to give myself a talking to and start thinking of Christmas miracle possibilities but just feel really sure for some reason this month Xmas Confused

Victoria good news sport in stopped! Wishing you lots and lots of luck this month!!!

Sparkly123 · 16/12/2014 19:36

Oh and nutella Elley did you have a rise in temp or is your chart much same as usual? (Sorry I can't remember who temps!)

laurasdream · 16/12/2014 19:45

Hey ladies Xmas Smile

TTC is confusing!! Gosh our bodies can mystify us at times... I reckon to just keep DTD & hope for the best is the way to go Xmas Grin HO!Ho!HO! Xmas Smile x

We tend to DTD every 3 days coming up to Ovulation..trying to make sure we DTD the day of ovulation or at least the day before x DH sperm test was perfect, but the doc advised in general sex every 3 days for strong swimmers..or as my DH says Olympic swimmers Grin x We then DTD whenever, and as often as we want after ovulation..a girls gotta have fun Xmas Wink x Especially when you are onto cycle 14 like myself!

Congrads to all those that got their BFP during my absence xx
So sorry for all those that the witch got! It totally sucks! x ((Hugs)) x
KMFX for all those in the dreaded 2WW, that tests all our patience & sanity
FX for all those waiting for ovulation! Keep DTD & try to have some fun x

laurasdream · 16/12/2014 19:54

OMG Elley & Nutella!! yay! Fx for a stronger line Xmas Smile x

Victoria fx for you! I really really hope you get the good news you deserve xx (((Hugs))) xx AF stay away! BFP come this way x

Candidconfessions · 16/12/2014 19:55

Just been out with friends, they asked straight off if I'm pregnant yet (I haven't told them we are ttc). They then told me I'm running out of time (why thanks) and that one of them is, once again, accidentally preggers. Well lovely. Pass the wine, I need a bottle.
Really excited that so many people on the bus are having a great journey. DH and I are in the fertile window so I need to get home, put the wine down and get busy....!

spinningirl10 · 16/12/2014 19:57

Oooh Elley and Nutella, great news.
Congratulations to you bothGrin

I've just poas (opk) and no line so I must have ov'd early and maybe that's why the dual test didn't pick it up as I only tested first time yesterday.
Anyway looks like I'm in with a chance for a New Years Eve bfp!! Think there's a few of us due then, fxSmile

RoseBud2015 · 16/12/2014 20:01

Big Woop!!! to victoria and sparkly.... you both sound like you have lots of preg sounding symptoms to me!!! I'm hoping the 19th will be a lucky day for us all esp after nutella and Elley have led the way Smile

I didn't go to work today after another bout of nighttime nausea and crazy tiredness. Have tried to just relax and rest today just in case im getting sick! However this eve I've suddenly had really bad low down cramping so I think the next couple of day are going to hard not to over think!

I'm taking a leaf out of your book though sparkly and remaining upbeat! Regardless of ov and AF, bfn or bfp I'm off to Dubai in 72 hours! Can't come soon enough! Xmas Smile

RoseBud2015 · 16/12/2014 20:03

candid they don't sound much lime friends! How insensitive! I find it so odd the way people in RL think its OK to just band these opinions around about pregnancy and running out of time Grrr Angry

Rainy34 · 16/12/2014 20:07

Sparkly - mine is like a splodge of brown blood now, and there slightly when i wipe, one minute i am happy next i feel angry , think i am safe to say il be able to drink lots of alcohol on christmas day at this rate,i usually get really emotional the day before af shows up , so il no for certain if that happens

fingers crossed for you Victoria !!!

Candidconfessions · 16/12/2014 20:20

Spinning I'm another NYE bfp contender. DH is running late due to work horrors. I need him home to dtd. His work have no manners, keeping him away from me at this time.

spinningirl10 · 16/12/2014 20:26

Rose. Have a fabulous time in DubaiGrin

Candid, that wasn't very tactful of your friends! Hope Dh gets home soon to dtd. We shall dtd later just to be sure, although dp is full of cold so I shall have to pull out all the stops Wink

victoria401 · 16/12/2014 21:00

Have fun dtd ladies! Glad that phase of the month is over for me though!

I know how u feel candid I went for a drink with my bezzie last night and all she did is talk about her 3 kids and how her dh wanted a 4th... Running out of time? How old are you? I'm getting on the crusty side too Xmas Wink

Wednesday tomorrow, not long now til I know what's going on...

Candidconfessions · 16/12/2014 21:02

Victoria - I'm very nearly 36. Not completely past it yet :) it's difficult isn't it? So many of my friends are smug and preggers. Gah.

Cariad2014 · 16/12/2014 21:34

Whispers congrats to Elley and Nutella - hope those lines get stronger over the next few days. Such fabulous news.

Waves at Genni. Am doing ok thanks - feel as though a month off ttc has done me the world of good. Although no doubt the madness will commence as soon as we start ttc again! I didn't track ov this month but AF is due any day now, so I'm hoping to be on CD1 before the end of the week. As Spinning says - you will be missed if you leave us for the IVF forums. You have to promise us that if you do, you'll come back and update us.

Sparkly123 · 16/12/2014 21:40

Aww Candid that sucks. I get that too a lot. Pretty insensitive!

Not long at all victoria fingers firmly crossed for you!

Rosebud ha ha a leaf out of my book? What the " crazy TWW making up symptoms as I go " one?! Xmas Wink trying my best to stay upbeat but cramping getting sore a lot now and this spotting ain't shifting. Noooooo!!!! As I said, same pattern as usual with spotting. Although don't usually remember as many pre AF cramps but who knows could be an off month. How many more sleeps?! Sounds like you have got it sorted- Dubai sounds great! I'll come in your suitcase please. What better way to celebrate/commiseratedepending on outcome. BFP for you!! Really hope you start to feel a bit better though too!

Rainy what day is yours due? Keep positive! I hate spotting it's so confusing!!!

missbee1 · 16/12/2014 21:43

Hi, joining my very first bus...nervously. Last pill ever tomorrow and then will be waiting patiently. First time ttc & first time on mumsnet so still getting my head around things.

Little bit nervous as I have PCOS to contend with, and coming off Yasmin which I've heard can be a killer but looking forward to trying :)

Missbee1 29yrs ttc#1 AF (last of being on pill) due 6days. Not tracking ovation yet.

Good luck everyone. I'm really looking forward to sharing the experience with others!! (And trying not to freak out)

Rainy34 · 16/12/2014 21:52

Sparkly my ovia app says af should be here on Sunday, i might be brave and buy some tests friday incase i get brave saturday morning

Frolicacid · 16/12/2014 22:17

sparkly and rosebud, both your symptoms sound very promising fx for you.

candid - your friends need to learn to be more sensitive. How did you not let rip at them?

Keep dtd spinning! I was complaining about dh's cold two weeks ago Smile

I'm glad the break has left you feeling relaxed. Fx for cd 1 so you can get back on it ASAP! This thread is so fast! Sorry if I've missed anything.

Nice to hear from you blueberry, I hope your migraine fuck's off soon.

Frolicacid · 16/12/2014 22:21

And fx for you too victoria. Glad you have stopped spotting. I am very impressed with your holding out to POAS willpower.

Sparkly123 · 16/12/2014 23:58

Thanks Frolic I'm glad one of us is convinced!!! Me on the other hand...ConfusedConfusedConfused this thread really is fast you are right!! Hope you are doing well?!

Rainy yep join us for the weekend testing! Last month I didn't even test because AF arrived... That's why I'm holding off.. Basically waiting to see if AF does .. Saving my tests really! Ha

Welcome missbee this is my first cycle on mumsnet and it's really helped me keep sane-ish!! Ha ha, wishing you a quick ride on the bus!

Rainy34 · 17/12/2014 01:06

Sparkly - can't sleep so I thought I'd pop in here!!!, il grab some frers Friday !!!! Xmas Wink
