Join us. It's a boat. Full of okp's and symptom spotting and insanity! But also much love and support! We were supposed to start next month, we already have a few bfp's! Our dps don't know what's hit them!

Thanks dreamy, how exciting for poas over Christmas! Fx for you!

Aw, thanks canters! I didn't as it was £15 Shock but will get a shop-bought frer if I need to before Christmas. I'd agree with the opk-ing, I'll be doing it next cycle I think, like to be in control/in the know!

I don't think it's bad luck kat I think it's much better to know your body and your cycle. It settles my mind slightly to be aware of when I'm ovulating etc.

Dh should be back in an hour or so! Yay! I "nipped out" for some bits at 4 pm with my dm and I've just got back! It wasn't even busy! We were just slow!

dub I think the blue dye digis work differently, get some pink dye/frers and try with fmu tomorrow! My okp was definitely a negative from just now, which leads me to believe that if I did ovulate it was likely to have been this last weekend, but who knows!

dub I asked my dh and he said he could see an extremely faint line. When is af due? (Appologies if you've already said, hard to remember what everyone has said)

harrietm87 · 22/12/2015 23:16

So I've done a load of panic googling and apparently it IS possible to get upduffed if you have sex in the seven days before coil removal then ovulate after it is removed, which according to ovia is exactly what I've done. Apparently you're supposed to use other contraception in the week before the coil is removed - no one told me this!

So I guess I'm in the 2ww for this month...bit of a surprise. Chances must be tiny but I'm sure that won't stop me symptom spotting.

I'm home at my mum's for Xmas now and OH has gone to his parents' ( we usually spend it separately). Probably a good thing for me not to freak him out with my obsessing!

Ooh harriet that's exciting! What's your estimated test date? Xmas Grin

harriet obsessive symptom spotting has become my hobby Grin.

Just please write it all down so we can obsess with you help.

harrietm87 · 22/12/2015 23:49

Period is due 3 Jan - is that my test date?

Feels weird because I was gearing up to start next month and was looking forward to all the meaningful shagging! Ha! Must be such a small likelihood of it this month anyway but I will be sure to keep you all updated!

LaraG13 · 22/12/2015 23:52

harriet that's really exciting!

Welcome dreamy!

After saying I have no symptoms (think I'm 10dpo), today I've had definite cramping and mild nausea. Also my teeth are aching - weird! Don't want to get too excited but am secretly kind of hoping these might be good signs.

first I hope the next few days go your way!

dub definitely join me and POAS tomorrow!

firstgo1984 · 22/12/2015 23:52

Well no AF yet! Entering what is probably 12dpo. The pinky browny CM has stopped.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 23/12/2015 00:21

That's my test date too harriet although af isn't due till the 12th, so I may hold off on testing until a bit later to actually test.

Have you tested/retested today first ?

OP posts:
firstgo1984 · 23/12/2015 00:33

starky no i held off re-testing today. decided it was too soon after potential implantation bleed. I think i will try and wait until thursday/friday.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 23/12/2015 02:01

I think that's a very sensible idea first it could either be a precious Christmas gift or look at it like it's a free ticket to festive drinks!

I'm getting weird cramps, but it's probably my anxiety easing off now Dh is back and safe in bed next to me! (We are ridiculously co-dependant!)

OP posts:
drinkyourmilk · 23/12/2015 06:01

first that's very promising!

BunchOfBobs · 23/12/2015 06:24

Drink are you testing again this morning?

BunchOfBobs · 23/12/2015 06:25

Sorry just realised I've mixed you up with Dubb. So hard to keep track of everyone now. Who else is testing today? I love testing days. Smile

drinkyourmilk · 23/12/2015 06:29

As it happens I did bunch as af tried to arrive, but I've just had very minimal brown discharge, not even enough for a panty liner. BFN. Usually start in the evening I'm due (today). No cramps yet, so I'll test again in 2 days if she doesn't come properly.

drinkyourmilk · 23/12/2015 06:32

not even a hint of mystery left

BunchOfBobs · 23/12/2015 06:34

Fx she doesn't arrive and you're just being hideously teased. They say any brown blood/spotting is left over from the previous cycle not a new one. You're not out till you're out!

drinkyourmilk · 23/12/2015 07:04

Thanks bunch. I do think I'm out, but you never know!

Dubbya · 23/12/2015 07:27

starky glad that your OH is back :) I haven't got any frer in yet but still no sign of af this morning!

drink thanks for the extra eyes! I'm on CD31 today (based on withdrawal bleed only - first month off the pill). Just hoping I'm not going to have a ridiculously long cycle like I've read lots of people have. I'll wait and test again tmrw if no af by then (if I can hold out!).

Fx for 3rd harriet and fx for you first and lara - looks like it's a bit of a poas Christmas party for us all!

Canters15 · 23/12/2015 07:42

We do indeed have a pissy party coming up! Fab news and I hope for some Christmas bfps.

Is everyone all sorted for Christmas? I am not sure I am but hoping family understand the wedding is taking precedent. Looking forward to as much lovely food and booze as possible on 25th Grin

shelbTa · 23/12/2015 08:03

Hi ladies! Been struggling to keep up with thread as work has been mental. Hope everyone is ok.

Jamjar12 · 23/12/2015 08:51

BFN for me yesterday on Superdrug test and now looks like AF is coming. 4 days early! So instead of our secret little BFP for Christmas, looks like I'm going to the in laws with a stomach bug and full on AF. Whoop whoop! Bring on the booze!
Good luck to all testing and anyone left on the December bus. I'll be joining the Jan bus shortly!

00Bubbles00 · 23/12/2015 10:14

Thank you for the reassurance on Christmas alcohol pre FW! I think I might be last to hop on the December bus, fertile window starting 27th....! Good luck to everyone testing soon. Its exciting for us spectators as well!

Snowdog37 · 23/12/2015 12:20

8-9dpo and had a teeny bit of spotting overnight, now have pre-af cramps starting to rear their ugly head. My temp went down a bit this morning (still about 1 degree above my pre-ovulation temp) and nothing else to report really. Starting to feel that I'll be on the January bus, which is ok as I'll be able to drink as much Baileys and cider as I want over Christmas and new year! And my cycle is short so I'll be ready to start dtd again around the 6th. Will take a test tomorrow or Saturday but not Christmas Day as that's a day of fun and family and I don't want to be maudlin. This is a roller coaster of emotions, can't seem to just be one particular mood about it 😜
