I meant cookie I feel your pain. Totally not with it!

Sorry for the BFN ladies. Maybe it is just too early to test! I've heard of people not feeling any different symptom wise and they get a BFP so your not out until the witch arrives!

Bobo - hope you get your surge soon! It's so frustrating isn't it! I think I'm gonna start opking in around a week or so, don't want to start too early! I'm just terrified my cycle decides to be longer rather than stay how it is, although I think it would've gone up by now if it was!

Sunny & chapman, hope you two upduffers are doing well! xxx

Oh johno sorry for bfn. Are you still temping? Ita unlikely that you are 18dpo, average is 14, it's possible for it to be longer but much less common I think that for it to be short. Or you are pregnant and it's not showing up yet. I did have the odd cycle where I thought I'd ovulated, and my temp said I had but then I really did ovulate later and got a much bigger temp rise. I know it's so so frustrating, I've been there, but just keep temping!

Cookie sorry for your bfn too, I can't go back a page now. How many dpo are you?

Bobo what cycle day are you on now?

I'm ok thank you. 9 weeks today. Was super sick on Monday but nothing since, I seem to be better at work when I've got something else to focus on, otherwise I just sit around and think about how sick I feel! I feel less anxious now, still get the odd panic moment, knicker checking etc but on the whole feeling more relaxed. Heart the heartbeat more clearly yesterday, it's nice to know it's still ok in there. Did my midwife bookings a week earlier than planned yesterday as we had a bit of time at work. So it feels a bit more real now, even though it was a bit of a tick box procedure.

Chapman, hope you are ok. It seen a few of your posts on the December thread, I was exactly the same as you, spent the last 5 weeks in absolute fear and panic but I'm starting to feel better now. How many weeks are you? Would an early scan make you feel better? Xx

Sorry to hear about your bfn too Bobo! Hopefully it is just too early for us both. I'm 10dpo Sunny so still fairly early. Have started feeling a bit crampy this morning though which is worrying. Now with the neg test I have the combined feeling that witchyface will show! Glad all is well with you lovely. Must be so nice to hear the heartbeat & glad to hear you're feeling less anxious! The weeks are flying past for you! It doesn't seem that long ago that I remember you getting your bfp! Xx

Johno not Bobo! We all have Bobo on the brain haha!! xx

Thanks ladies for all your positive vibes. I think the problem is the more you know the less you feel you know. If you know what I mean?! Wouldn't be certain about Ov if it wasn't for Ff but like you said 18dpo so maybe I did ov later. Although now worrying me and DH didn't dtd enough around ov date.

Did any of you ladies just not both charting anything and get your BFP?My sis says I'm too stressed out about it all but it's like I can't not chart anything now!!!

Glad to hear the Preggo ladies are doing well and keeping the faith alive

Morning all busy morning!

Sorry for the BFN cookie. Hopefully just too early. No symptoms and mild cramps could easily mean you are pregnant. I asked about LP as mine only around 9 days so not helping!

Really sorry about BFN Johno but hopefully just out on your dates.

Glad your feeling a bit calmer sunny. Must be so lovely hearing heartbeat.

Loula good luck starting with OPK - how long was your last cycle? Hopefully it reduces!

I am Cd16. Got first high reading on CB this morning. When I have used these before though I have had between 13-16 highs before peak so not getting too excited! Although I have been taking AC religiously so hopefully that's going to help.

Johno and Cookie so sorry for your bfns hopefully it's just too early!

Afternoon girls :) sorry im like absent most of the time i literally am the worst haha!

The constant nausea has started for me girls. feeling sick all day but not being sick. all i can eat is jam on toast, jaffa cakes, salt and vinegar discos and drink juice! i absolutely love diet coke and literally cant touch it now it makes me vom xx

I have loadsss to catch up on!!

sunny - im feeling a lot better now i jsut feel when i go onto the december thread on the antenatel section another poor lady is out and i get proper paranoid and start to worry, DH has banned me from this site haha so i only go on it when hes not around! im 7 weeks now hun going on holiday in 11 days so that might make me feel better haha!

cookie - how are you lovely>? really hope that blood you had was implantation bleeding.. so sorry about your bfn,,might be too early babe what dpo are you?? no im not on hol babe til 16th may cant come quick enough tbh hoping by then you and others can be resident preggos :) xxx

bobo- have u finally ovu yet hun?? i was in your same predicament last month didnt get a positive unti literally the day before the egg popped, really hope you get it before saturday! fx lovely xx

loula - im ok thanks babe thanks for asking. been in a bit of hole recently but im ok now getting better how is it with you? has AF dissapeared?? i started SS the day after my period ended on the monday but supposedly you can take it at any point! xx

may - im good thanks lovely i understand your pain waiitng to OV its the worst wait ever especially if you have an app that tells you your ov and its pissing wrong! i only got 2 positive opks then they went negative its such a short window hope you catch it :) xx

johno - sorry about your bfn babe, i literally did not feel any different when i got my bfp, i tried to temp that didnt work cause i kept taking my temp at the wrong time and only got 2 positive opks on the sat and sun morn then it went negative on the mon, hope its just to early to pick up keep the faith hun xxx

Af is on her way getting the nausea/af cramps I always get ah well :( I'm starting to think now I can't have kids r sumn

AF is here now. I feel absolutely crap. Feel like I can't keep going through this every month xx

Sorry to hear AF showed up cookie. How long have you been trying for Hun? I know it's hard but you just need to be positive as the negativity may affect you conceiving if that makes sense! All about PMA!

My cycles have been 72 days, 42 days and last one was 32 days so I am hoping it stays that way! AF left yesterday which is good, DH has been away and I realised he's working a late shift when should be my fertile week! Not good!

How long have you been trying for shankate? It's so horrible when the witch shows up after you practically convince yourself u could be preggo!

I am glad you are good chapman - it's funny how all you can eat is junk food lol!! Hopefully you can start eating a bit more normally in your next trimester. xxx

Sorry to hear about the bfns cookie and johno. I am currently cd11 and waiting for ovulation. I really hope it happens soon. Last month it happened really late and only got an 8 day luteal phase so I'm hoping now ovulation will come at a normal time and will have a proper 2ww! I am taking Angus castus this month and vitamin b complex which apparently helps with short luteal phases so fingers crossed! I have a faint line on opks for the last couple of days so hopefully they should start getting darker.

Lou
I came off the pill the start of December and waiting for my 21st af which came th end of December? And my next one was the end of January which was 29 days then I had a long cycle for 69 days and got af the start of April n now I'm waiting I dno what's going on ?
So cycle 1 was 29
Cycle 2 was 69
Currently on cycle 3? But it's my 5th month off it ? And had a withdrawal bleed and 3 periods? Hope it goes normal soon :(

1st af not 21st 😂

Cd 33 btw

Hi Shan, I have to say I did lol at your 21st comment haha!

I came off my pill on 6th December, didn't have any kind of bleed or withdrawal bleed at all until 17th Feb, then had another period on 29th March and then again on 30th April. Every one is different and cycles do go a bit awol after stopping the pill. Which one were you on?? I went to the docs cos I was concerned at first and had blood tests which came back all fine and also had an ultrasound scan of my ovaries which was also fine.

It's so frustrating I know but it's just a waiting game at the moment! Are you taking any Pregnacare supplements or anything?? Because I was taking that and as soon as I stopped I had my first bleed since stopping the pill xxx

I was on cerezze pill
I started the pill 3 years ago was on combine 1 then changed to microfine for 3 months b4 cerezze and I took that from October to the start of December but b4 the pill I never had problems with ov or anything was all regular 29/30 days every month same on the pill got them when the 7 day break until I went on cerezze where I got no period atal think that's fucked me.up completely? So have to wait n see

Yeah that sounds similar to mine, I was on cerazette from May to December which completely stopped my periods the whole time so was like a shock to the system when I came off it!

I'll keep my fx for you that everything regulates itself. It will sort itself out but if it would make you feel better then maybe go see your GP to see if they can suggest anything xx

Loving that you all have Bobo-on-the-brain haha I'm flattered

Sorry for the bfn Johno - really hope you're just a few days behind and can test again in a few days!

Cookie my lovely I'm so sorry for your bfn. It's not fair and you are long overdue your bfp cyber hugs It's so typical our bodies wait until we test and then along comes af. I swear they do it on purpose to screw us over! Lots of for you tonight x

Sorry for af Shan I know the feeling. I know its still quite early days for us but you do start wondering why it;s not happening and other people accidentally get preggers on a one night stand

Sunny I'm on cd19. I ov'd on cd 20 last cycle and cd 24 the cycle before so any day now hopefuly!

Champan you're baaaaack sorry to hear about the nausea! You poor thing! At least the few things mini Chapman is letting you eat are all yummy things!

Hoping ov comes soon for all waiting Lou, Claire, May

Fx for peps testing again/soon Johno, thisis

Hello ladies! I'm back after my "hiatus" and ready now to ttc #2!

So here is my dilemma. To be entitled to maternity pay, I have to have been back at work for 12 months before the next lot of maternity leave. My return date was 3 Feb so I have to start next lot of leave on or after 3 Feb 2017. I had my last period started on Friday which would give me a estimated due date of 4 Feb...which also happens to be my daughters birthday. What would you do? Do you think the due date is too close to call or worth the risk of starting to ttc this month (knowing it may not happen for a while anyway)? Maternity pay is 6 months full pay.

Ladies CD143 and I think AF has finally turned up!!! Fingers crossed this is part of me getting back to normal.

How is everyone else doing. Sorry to hear about the nausea chapman - I got a private scan with my first around 10 weeks (I got them at the early hospital clinic at 5 and 7 weeks already) to give me the confidence that all would be ok

Af hasn't arrived yet just I know the pains I get but I cud be wrong :(

Thanks for your lovely words girls, don't know where I'd be without yous! I just felt this month that possibly something happened. I know it sounds silly but the zapping, prickly pains on Monday night followed but the very light spots of blood on tues are making me think implantation happened or at least tried to happen. Luteal phase only 9/10 days, which just isn't long enough. I hope you're all well! I'm going to take a wee hiatus for a week to get over my bad mood, will keep lurking though!! Love to you all xxx
