All ages and age gaps welcome!

I'm 29, have a 16mo DS, TTC since periods came back in July 2014, had a mc in Jan.

Anyone else?

Ugh cuppa sounds like a horrid couple of days - glad the person at work has been put right and I have no words for your sister the whole thing sounds horrifying. Mrs how frustrating re your DH going away but agreed 4am shagging sounds like a step to far. I'm busy symptom spotting - I irritate myself with it! 5 days till AF due so not long to wait now - am going out for wine Saturday I feel like a shouldn't just in case but then it's been a long week at work!!

PattyODoors · 09/04/2015 09:02

Hi all! CD 29 here for me, I'm officially late now as my cycles are usually 28 days long with spotting a day or so before AF shows up. Had no symptoms at all for the last few days. This cycle has been weird, had non of the usual ov pains nor the sore bombs that I get after I've ov'd, I'm convinced I didn't ov this cycle. Not tested as I've had no symptoms to speak of. Gonna wait a few more days as I'm thinking this is a random longer cycle, mine used to be 30 days until 6 mths ago.

mrsmugoo · 09/04/2015 12:08

Flashing smiley again here which is good - DH is back late tomorrow night. Was convinced today would be solid smiley.
Still in with a chance Smile

Which one is the control line Cuppa?

Patty a lot of women get late AF as the only symptom. Exciting! If your cycles used to be 30 days, I'd wait another 3 and POAS. Good luck!

CD27 here. No symptoms of anything. God I hate 2ww!

Eek patty how exciting. I don't think most women get symptoms till 5 weeks at least, your self control is amazing and its gonna save you such stress!

CarrotPuff the lovely dark line is the test line. Finally turned negative again, of last cycle is anything to go by I ov'd today. Had a good go of it last night so hopefully sperm will meet egg.

Fingers so crossed for you Mrsmugoo!! I think the timing is going to work out perfect for you I am certain! We're only going to ov s few days apart yay, poas buddies!!

Avasmum8 · 09/04/2015 18:22

Patty that is such good self control I don't know how you do it!! Fingers crossed for your BFP!

Carrot when are you going to POAS?

Cuppa and mugoo you'll be in the dreaded two week window soon then! Hope the time goes quickly

My period isn't officially here until tomorrow, feels like I've know for ages and I'm not even four weeks yet! This is going to be a long pregnancy... Xx

mrsmugoo · 09/04/2015 18:40

Excited for you carrot!

CM here now big time. God, dreading my first ever 2ww!

CuppaSarah · 09/04/2015 19:23

My this is my second tww. I get 4ww this cycle! How's it going avasmum? Feeling anything yet? Not to scare you but don't they associate early bfps with twins? Wink

Don't worry mrsmugoo. We can take example from patty and carrotpuff and not poas every day from 5dpo I have never done that ever hahahahahahaha

Avasmum8 · 09/04/2015 20:29

Haha It's going okay thanks! Noo I don't want twins!, I want a nice low risk pregnancy :) the only symptoms that I have got are feeling bloated, boobs are constantly sore and I'm tired! I haven't ever really had morning sickness with either of my pregnancies though (although the last one only lasted 8 weeks!) so we shall see...

CuppaSarah · 10/04/2015 05:59

I'm so envious about the lack of morning sickness! Mine lasted past 25 weeks!

My temp has shot up today and since yesterday afternoon the post ov boob aches began so think I ovulated sometime yesterday early afternoon. Only dtd yesterday and 2 days beforehand though, so not a huge amount but the timing was good so fingers crossed.

Just gotta get you to ov once your dh is back and we'll both be in the tww mrsmugoo.

Cuppa that should get you covered. Fx for you!

Had my pre-AF clearout yesterday. So not that hopeful any more. But hey, AF is not here yet.

I'm going to POAS on Wed next week. Going by my longest cycle AF would be due on Monday, but I want to wait a couple more days to make sure it's not another long cycle.

4.40am start today.

Flashing smiley again today - ov has got to be soon! DH back late tonight and around a bit tomorrow, hoping we can dtd at some point before he buggers off for a whole week.

My DS is with his grandparents and I got woke up by a text at 6:30am today when I could have had a lie-in grrrrr Angry

woundbobbin · 10/04/2015 09:09

We have identical cycles carrot my AF also due Monday but was going to hold off POAS until Wednesday. Am sat at work feeling quite grim so expecting AF soon feeling disappointedHmm

Bobbin last time I had pre AF mood swings and thought she'd be here in a couple of days. A week later still nothing. A few days later I got my BFP. So it's not over until she's here Wink

CuppaSarah · 10/04/2015 16:06

You must be shattered CarrotPuff. Hopefully your body was just making room for a growing little bactoplast. I'm sure loose bowels was my first pregnancy symptom last time so you never know.

Yay Mrs mugoo your body is holding onto the egg just long enough for you!! That's so annoying about the text though. Dd is round my mums tonight so I'm going to lie in tomorrow.

Don't worry wound bobin, pregnancy at this point is basically the same feeling as pre AF I think, so you might be OK. If not we're all here for you. Same for you if AF gets you carrotpuff.

PattyODoors · 10/04/2015 16:12

So stupidly tested this morning and got another negative Sad The witch is now 2 days late, surely if I were pg I'd have had a bfp by now.

CarrotPuff · 10/04/2015 18:14

It was DS's fault actually, he woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep! Actually, he tried but didn't quite manage to. I'm feeling strangely ok thanks to too much caffeine and chocolate

Patty that sucks. Super late ovulation maybe?

OP posts:
CuppaSarah · 10/04/2015 22:22

Patty I was on another thread and a woman was really late, like a week late for her period when she got her bfp.

Had a nice date night at wagamamas and an arcade so I'm feeling chilled for once. No symptom spotting or early testing for me 15 days till test day!

Oh no carrot you poor thing stupid AF what a total bitch she is... Plenty of wine / cider / beer / gin for you today x

CuppaSarah · 11/04/2015 11:20

Sorry CarrotPuff, that is entirely shit. If you don't work weekends you be very kind to yourself today and have a lovely Wine tonight

mrsmugoo · 11/04/2015 12:36

STILL flashing smiley today FFS. Managed to sneak in dtd this morning and that's our last chance so all in the hands of the gods now.
2ww here I come...

mrsmugoo · 11/04/2015 12:37

Sorry to hear the witch got you this month carrotpuff :(
One step closer though...

CarrotPuff · 11/04/2015 17:09

Thanks ladies. mrsmugoo I wish I knew how many steps there are though...

DS woke up at the crack of the dawn again. Not coping very well at the moment. Would love to just get drunk but might have a bath and early bed tonight.

I hope you all are having a nice day!

Fx for your egg to be sensible and come out of hiding soon mrsmugoo!

PattyODoors · 11/04/2015 20:38

AF got me too Carrotpuff and I also have a DD who's a crap sleeper! I'm feeling surprisingly ok about AF, in my heart I knew we'd not done it this month, still convinced I didn't ov though.
