Hi irregular kath and lauren

You can't see but I'm waving!

Well I'm feeling slightly reassured by the midwife not being at all phased. Plus a few close friends have actually had similar which surprised me!

Potentiallt I'll be 10-11 weeks when i have the booking appointment...problem is... I also don't want to get my hopes up too much!

Chocaholic88 · 12/01/2016 22:34

pug I'm seeing my usual doctor on Friday so I'll ask her to clarify and book another blood test if she thinks I need it! It's so stressful lol!

Laurenowls · 12/01/2016 22:43

Choc
I hope it is good news for you Smile

waves back

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/01/2016 22:59

Soz DH has been hanging around this evening so haven't been able to update the list with newbies. I've done that now (we now have two Lauren's, have used laurenowl's full name to avoid confusion. I hope I have got everything up to date- not sure on everyone's cycle lengths so feb bussers don't have all their dates yet.

Welcome all newbies... We seem to have had major cycle 1 luck so fx for everyone.

So many testers coming up!!! I am not slightly jealous that I am now in the feb bus and have ages to wait but hey ho hum. ThanksBiscuitWineChocolateCake

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/01/2016 23:02

(Also just had another thought.... If you would not like your cycle or AF or anything else to be so greatly analysed then please tell me if you would like to chill on the bus at the back with headphones on not sit at the front with a name badge and I will remove you from the register)

Canters15 · 12/01/2016 23:05

Just checking in from ze honeymoon. Having an awesome time, back in 2 days, wah I want to stay in newlywed bubble for ever!

I am now 6 days pre AF. Skittle tits for the last week (unusual at this point in cycle) and creamy cm (ditto) but cervix soft and low (yes I just went to the loo and fondled myself) so not too hopeful.

Also sobbed my eyes out on DH yesterday because I was so sure I wasn't preg.

Stark, test tomorrow woman! Lana, congrats.

I may test on tues..... 19th I think.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 12/01/2016 23:06

Lol I genuinely love that we have a register! Grin and I'm amazed at the dedication you have to it kat snaps for you! 👏👑🎉

Welcome newbies!

CANTERRRRRRRS WELCOME BAAACK! Did you have the most amazing time?! Congratulations on your wedding!

We shall see, think af may get me in the night!

stark you definately sound upduffed!! I personally think your body is just being mean and not telling you Smile

LillianFullStop · 12/01/2016 23:19

Welcome back canters - here's to a honeymoon baby!

Yes I love the list kat - it really feels like a party feb bus! I'm 12 til FW so I'm passing around WineWine

KatOnATinRo0f · 12/01/2016 23:22

Hey canters!! Enjoy the rest of your honeymoon. You are on the provisional list that will be posted in the Wednesday edit.

I honestly find it so hard to keep track of everyone and the list is making it easier :) when I spot someone mention their test date I pop them on the "working list" in notes app. Post at end of day so not hundreds of lists. And voila :)

Off to bed (I will sleep off AF so can get dtd again soon) zzzzzzz

Ni4444 · 12/01/2016 23:29

I'll be 9the Feb testing Kat. Thanks! I agree...I like to see the list and who's up next!

Question.. Does LH stay in your urine...as in...if I'm really busy and don't go to the loo after leaving work until now... Will any level of hormone released from 3pm stay in the urine waiting in my bladder for me to pee it on a stick? It sounds stupid...but this is the place for stupid questions! Confused

StarkyTheDirewolf · 12/01/2016 23:36

We've been married 7 months canters and are still in the honeymoon bubble! Fear not! Grin enjoy your last few days!

Awww I dunno owls think my uterus is just playing silly buggers! Fx like but seems really unlikely, probably my body just adding a few more days onto an already unbelievably long cycle! Grin

Dunking popcorn in Nutella - it's like picturing what heaven must be like......

Holly300 · 13/01/2016 00:32

Kat please add me to the list :)

I only posted to introduce myself but haven't posted anything else yet so you probably missed me.

Holly ttc #3 c1 cd16

Not sure when test date is as waiting to ov and periods can be quite irregular. I think prob sometime end of Jan/beginning of Feb.

I have been silently glued to this thread and I think it's so lovely how nice and supportive everyone is of each other, with no judgements at all. Smile

Congrats to everyone who got a BFP, good luck to everyone who is still yet to test and to everyone who has just got their af, good luck for the Feb bus. Choc and Stark, I hope you both get answers asap.

Sorry for long post! Thanks

StarkyTheDirewolf · 13/01/2016 00:45

Welcome again holly 😊

Fx, but I'm still determined af will show up late to the pants party! Grin

Holly300 · 13/01/2016 00:55

In my stupidness I failed to notice the ttc#1 in the thread title until now! Is it still ok for me to join?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 13/01/2016 01:06

Aaah you're more than welcome holly if anything you will be super helpful because you've been pregnant before so you might be better at symptom spotting etc Grin

OP posts:
Holly300 · 13/01/2016 06:48

Thanks Stark smile]**

Actually it's been quite a few years as my kids are 8 and 10. There have been a few times that we have ttc #3 for a few months and nothing happened. I'm determined this time it will!!!

With both of my dcs, the earliest symptom I got was very full and tender breasts. But this can also be a sign of AF!!

Jamjar12 · 13/01/2016 07:18

Can I join the list? Just realised I didn't add my name on it! Testing on 20th maybe!

I'm about 5dpo and my nipples are incredibly tender. Is that normal? DH tried it on last night by having a grope and it was so painful! Also have a gross amount of creamy CM that is making me rather self conscious ATM. No other symptoms as of yet but I'm rather impressed at how much better I am cycle #2 not jumping on every symptom from 1dpo like last time!

ElleSarcasmo · 13/01/2016 07:34

Yes Ni, as far as I know the LH doesn't degrade over time. I have just been doing one OPK after work-can't do it at work at all because of toilet set up.

My OPK line has been getting slowly darker for the next few days so will maybe get a positive today. I had a slight drop in temp today (35.83, normally 35.9-36.1), does anyone know if that is a big enough dip for ovulation? Ovia has moved me from the beginning to the end of my fertile week as a result, which is a bummer as won't be able to jump DH until Friday! Looks like I'll join you on the feb bus!

Chocaholic88 · 13/01/2016 07:35

Hi holly ... I am TTC #3 too... I have a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old... but I am breaking the rules and staying here too 😂🙊

ElleSarcasmo · 13/01/2016 07:38

Choco can't believe you're still waiting for your result! How are you feeling now? Flowers

Canters welcome back, fx for a honeymoon baby!
