[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Welcome, welcome! And may the pink lines be ever in your favour!

Post your stats, don't be shy, no symptom too gross to share! We are a Lucky thread with lots of bfp's and baby dust and PMA!

All okp'er and ic enthusiasts welcome!

Bubbles and lana those are definitely squinters! It's a good week! Can you get a CB? That 1-2 weeks pregnant message would be priceless!

kat it's not over til AL sings! Try again next week :)

So tempted to test now too but I shouldnt!

Omg bubbles !!!!!
Congratulations!!

I'm not going to test now until AF is due. In fact I might even wait for her ugly face who am I kidding!

Well it looks like we've had a number of BFPs again this month!! And some positive looking signs too!! I think that looking at the law of averages I'm going to be a BFN this month. We're going to need to recruit more members at this rate

Congrat bubbles!! defo a line there!

September due date buddies

Bubbles that is defo a BFP!! Congratulations lady .

Congrats Bubbles! Lovely news x

Kat I am 11dpo. Hold out a couple more days and test again.

Bubbles there is no doubt you're cooking up a little one. Congratulations!

Space I see something have a go with a FRER tomorrow morning but I have my fingers crossed.

Bubble that is most definitely a clear BFP so you know the drill, get your behind to the grads thread you is upduffed!!!!

bubbles yaaaaaaaay! Congratulations!
space ooh very exciting! If you can manage, if hold out a couple of days and then test with a frer!

Heeeeeey! Wardrobe wee was/is a necessity for privacy testing! And if I don't do it this weekend, I won't be able to test at all! Which y'all know is fine by me! might not bother anyway, my right boob is killing me! Af seems imminent!

Stark my left boob is agony.

kat together we've got a matching pair!

Aww Bubbles that's so lovely! Congratulations!!! Lots of BFP this month, 2016 is hopefully going to be a great year.

Does anyone else have incredibly light af? I started yesterday and seem to have finished already and cramping has gone. Wonder if that means I'll ovulate sooner

miley when did you come off the pill again? Have you had a withdrawal bleed from it? It could either be your cycle lining up ooooor if you werent sure when you ovulated an implantation bleed just saying

Starky AF isn't allowed to creep up on you!! How dare she, after all the pee offerings you made to the wardrobe gods! But seriously, I really hope this is your month and that you get that BFP you've been going crazy for x

Congratulations Bubbles! What a lovely start to the year with all these bfps! Was it your first cycle?

I am in full swing of AF after some brown thick shooting yesterday, the bitch is really making herself know too these cramps are bloody agony! Anyway, gym done for the day and now to cook a healthy lunch. Going to try to obsess over my body/fitness/health rather than my eggs this month as I'm a massive control freak and the lack of control over my fertility is making me mad!

Thank you all for being so nice. I'm feeling bit unsure as its still so super early. I feel the need to keep retesting until I get a proper bright red line (which will bankrupt me).

For anyone symptom spotting - I genuinely had absolutely no symptoms until Sunday evening (which was 7 DPO) when I had very mild boob soreness. MUCH as I hate to admit is, I am NOT well endowed and so its really noticeable that they are (ahem) a VERY little bit bigger than usual now (which is why I retested).

Other than that, no spotting, no real increase in CM from a usual month (until today).

Eeek. I am going to pop out at lunch to get another test and see what it says.....I feel a bit sick worrying about it.

Congratulations Bubbles! Brilliant news

Ps Bubbles, maybe wait until the morning to do another test, so you can use fmu.

Thanks Pink, haven't managed to leave my desk yet and the crazy has passed (momentarily) so I will wait I think.

Sorry for not replying Indi - Yes, first cycle trying. CB OPK showed solid smiley on 27th (didn't test between 24-27) so we DTD 27/28 a couple of times each day but not in the run up as too busy over Christmas. I don't know whether it made a difference but I was off work so quite relaxed and sleeping and eating quite well.

PS. Indi I get horrid period pains so totally understand! Also, I made the same decision if (argh) it didn't happen this month. Lots of fitness and healthy eating to get ready.

Congratulations bubbles! Definitely a BFP! What a lucky thread! How long have you been trying? X

starky I had my implant removed in Aug as it wasn't agreeing with me, so went on to yasmin until we decided it was time. Came off in early November and had a withdrawal then a proper af in Dec

Seacrown this was first cycle. This is lucky thread :-)

Stark, the only symptom I have is sore boobs. Will you just test already?! :-p

So as much as my focus is health and fitness this month..is it acceptable that I have just inhaled 2 big bags of mini eggs alone? Yes mini eggs, the chocolate Easter kind, it's just been Xmas!! I'm telling myself that I am on my period and I have a cold and I have period pains and I'm tired and the weather is bad and I did work hard in the gym this morning...enough excuses?!

Indi that sounds exactly like the kinda thing I do, except I haven't exercised in almost a year... But considering the amount I still a slender but very jellyish size 10 haha.. I used to go to the gym and think ' I have worked off enough to eat a chippy now' haha! X
