Hello ladies,

Last bus looks full up. Unless there is a new one that I can't find...

Here's the new stats. We're missing a few updates so if you notice you're on the list with a ? in the results that's because I missed you saying BFP/AF and if you're late, I'd like to put late so at least we know that you're still updating.

Baby dust to us all!

CD10 for me so I'm going to start the OPK's tomorrow I decided. Woot!

ginger, the only function of ewcm (or the watery fluid) is to nurture sperm which is deposited the few days leading up to ov. That's what I keep reading anyway. In which case it seems logical that ewcm would initially appear quite a few days before the egg is released. That, however, doesn't explain the purpose of fertile cm in the 2ww.

MissMrsMummy · 08/02/2015 17:05

allthefours digis are not very sensitive so it may be too early to give you a bfp. You could either wait a couple of days or get a frer! You're not out til AF arrives!

mummyofonesofar · 08/02/2015 17:12

babybump thanks for the stats. You're doing so well to look after them - that list is huge!!

Allthefours · 08/02/2015 17:13

babybump my BFP due date was very much an estimate based on previous cycle and LMP.
My LMP was 3rd Jan. I'm CD37 today. Not 100% sure when ov but guessing it was around CD24/25 when EWCM disappeared (had this for 5days prior) and had what I'm assuming were ov pains. Going on this Id be 12/13dpo with AF roughly due 9/10 Feb.

I have symptoms, my boobs hurt, I'm knackered, peeking more than usual, bloated and occasional nausea. All the same symptoms as my pregnancy last year which sadly ended in MMC at 12 weeks.

I'm going to test again In The morning with FMU and probably test with a non digi one or start accepting that this is promising to be another mammouthly long cycle thanks to my PCOS.

mrsb0710 · 08/02/2015 17:13

babybump my BFP should be due March 4....I think. There abouts.
CD5. Went to 99p shop to get some coffee sticks, and came out with OPKs! Have never seen them there before. DH thought I was nuts. Haha. Going to use those, and confirm a + on a more expensive one.
Should I test am and pm? From day 8?

crazypuglady · 08/02/2015 17:28

Sorry Purdey only just been able to check posts. My chart is attached. In my defence we had lots of sex when I was meant to ov in the first place Grin just not much when I actually spat an egg out. Maybe DH has super spunk and some of the earlier stuff was still alive and wriggling?

Thanks for the stats babybump

Sorry you're having a crap time allthefours that's a decent amount of symptoms so hope it comes to something.

mrsb0710 · 08/02/2015 17:32

Congrats to all the BFPs :) hoping we get loads more!
I had AF like symptoms before mine last time and lots of CM, also spotting. It can be confusing, but keep thinking baby thoughts!

fififolle · 08/02/2015 17:33

It turns out that my stupid pissing body was playing tricks on me.
AF now arrived in full force after being 2 whole days late.
I'm taking refuge in a warm oily bath.
Good luck to everyone waiting to POAS.

crazypuglady · 08/02/2015 17:41

Sorry fifi have some Wine and Cake

Cariad2014 · 08/02/2015 17:46

Sending enormous un-mumsnetty hugs your way Fifi. Flowers I hate it when your body plays games with you, allowing you to get your hopes up only for those hopes to be dashed. I fear that I'll be in a similar boat come Wednesday morning.

loopylou1984 · 08/02/2015 17:56

Thanks Missmrs, will stop when I get a positive opk (yes I caved and bought some more ICs!) xx

Nomio230 · 08/02/2015 17:59

Sorry to hear that fifi. It is so disappointing when you are late for no reason.

Massive congratulations to the bfps (or bops, as my iPad decided to call them)!

purdey good luck with the AI later. Hope you are flooded with good swimmers.

I had another negative opk & still have tiny bit of blood when I wipe. I think I am out this month, but we will keep on dad just in case.

fififolle · 08/02/2015 18:09

Thank you for the cake, flowers and hugs ladies. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you on Wednesday Cariad .

Rainy34 · 08/02/2015 19:04

Hi everyone, got to hold our neighbours two week old baby today, she is just adorable, so tiny and fragile, hope your all having a good Sunday x

CoffeeTwo · 08/02/2015 19:15

Aww Rainy newborn snuggles are the best. And there's that old wives tale that holding newborns kick starts the old ovaries Grin

Rainy34 · 08/02/2015 19:21

Ovia predicted that Af would arrive today but Glow has it arriving Tuesday, since i ovulated later this month i think Glow is right, which is really good as my LP has increased from 10 to 12 days, though the spotting if it continues tomorrow will be 6 days , maybe the vitamin b complex is helping the LP and hopefully it will sort the spotting out next month,i feel having a 12 day LP much better,

Fifi sorry AF has come late, enjoy your bubbly bath

Twinkletoes007 · 08/02/2015 19:30

Hi Mary. I think what you say about the line makes a lot of sense - it is quite dark and so further suggests ov was earlier than FF thinks. Sounds like our pattern was very similar and like you I worried about missing the key time. I know temping works for most people but next cycle I was going to give it a miss as I wake too much in the night and was getting bizarre results. I had a progesterone test (because of loads of spotting each month) which indicated I was ovulating so I was going to rely on the opk test only. Xx

Rainy34 · 08/02/2015 19:37

Oh Coffee i hope you are so right, they are now a perfect little family, saw my oh hold her and i felt so broody, so come on ovaries do your best lol

kissinggiraffe · 08/02/2015 19:38

Aw rainy did you have a sneaky sniff? I love baby scent and always have a sniff when mums not looking!!

I really don't think I got upduffed this cycle because we simply didn't have enough sex and I have my classic pmt symptoms. But on the other hand I really think I am preggers because I had really sharp stabby pains in general uterus region and my norks are ENORMOUS and feel really weird...In conclusion I have no idea if I am or not and have to wait a few more days to find out.....

In totally unrelated news, my darling almost 2 year old now says thank you but doesn't quite say it right. So imagine my delight when my ghastly mil wouldn't give dds cuddly back to her until she said thank you and with a gorgeous smile dd said ' fuck yooooooooo' !! God I love her x

Nomio230 · 08/02/2015 19:42

Ha ha, giraffe, that is hilarious!

I luuuuurve the smell of newborn babies, it makes me melt into a gooey puddle. Smile

Rainy34 · 08/02/2015 19:46

kissing yeah i had a sneaky sniff she smelled and looked beautiful

surferchic41212 · 08/02/2015 19:51

Hey all, I'm just trying to catch up with all the chat..

So sorry Fifi..Big glass of wine?

Have been super busy the past few days.. Purdey, I've got a basal and have started charting; I started with an in ear one so my chart looks hilarious, but I think I'm out this month, as I haven't managed to get any ov on sticks (have been doing internet cheapies..).. I'm feeling quite positive either way, as I've got a doctor's appointment to find out what's going on (have had ammenhorea on and off since I came off the pill last May.. Was hoping I'd got back into a regular cycle.. hey ho!

Congrats on all the BFPs- So pleased for you all! Loving learning about all the charting!
