You guys are all talking as if you are out! None of you are out yet!!!!

Lol jodders! Put us straight we are not out yet! You are right.

Ha! Yes you tell us Jodders!! It's so funny how we are all so pessimistic about our own chances and so optimistic about everybody else's! Self preservation I guess

I'm just realistic that's all

All the facts are in front of me really so i know what's coming.

I've got a little bit of hope still ... I think we all do until AF actually shows itself x

CD 6

I'm all cramps and twinges over here!! Super uncomfortable, almost bloated?? I had a super light AF too - one medium day, one light and then two spotting. It's been light since copper coil came out. Should that be a worry? Too many worries.

Had a crap day - parents blaming me for working my guts out for their little darlings and the darlings can't be bothered!

Kate did you test again by any chance?

I'm really serious eye of the tiger theme tune playing in my head you guys are not out! Remain positive!

CD 19 4dpo

Just checking in. Fingers crossed for Radders, tee and Jem. It's soon time to get shagging physics and Mimi (glad your Dh said sorry) Good news on the scan footprints.

I'm thinking of a bugaboo chameleon. Had a Phil and Ted's for the two which was great but now want something new. Can't afford it but I can fantasise.

Waves to purple, parney and Jod. Sorry if I missed anyone. I've been ironing and now to bed.

The cramps have started ... Think I will wake up to AF in the morning

Night everybody

Hang in there girls.. Tomorrow's another day.
I was convinced AF was coming today but nothing?? Grrr boobs super sensitive still. Cramps disappeared tonight. Weird..

I don't think I was that bad this month with the bfn last week as I've kind of given up this month with this crazy cycle. Just want to start afresh..

So tomorrow we could be seeing some BFP's?!?!?! We need some graduates tomorrow! Until AF comes don't give up. The temp drop thing radders, don't look too much into as mine has been up and down and still no AF. Hope u sleep ok ladies hot choc for you all with a marshmallow on top to help the little beans stick X

Nim- well done for ironing so late in evening!! Impressive. Hope you are ok X

Mystery solved..

The vegetable smelling wee was the wheatgrass supplement. I forgot to take it yesterday and today wee smelt normal. Not a bad thing.. Glad nothing serious. Ha ha

Physic, what day do u usually ovulate? Do u think you may be ovulating a bit earlier? Strange for u to get cramps now is it? Or could it be the supplements?

OMG I take the wheat grass too and remember I had the strange smelling wee haha!!!

Bbt 36.02

Morning everybody
Have such bad cramps but not AF. they're usually only this bad once she is here. Checked with finger and not even any sign on that still a bit of mucus. Maybe it's because I've been lying down its not made its way down yet.
She's obviously coming so wish she would just hurry up.

IC snowy white again this morning on FMU.

Jem how's your IC this morning??

Footprints - glad you've found the smelly wee culprit!

I will feel so much better once she is here as the wait is over and can move on with next cycle already.

Hope everyone is feeling ok today x

Jodders it's like you know me! BFN, but obvs what did I expect 7 days after AF started!

CD 7. Only thing I can think of that was causing thw twinges could be the EPO. I ran out and new order has not arrived yet so will see if that changes the pinching and poking feeling today. Last three cycles I oved between CD 16 and 23, so no way is this ov! I spose I could OPk this evening to find out for sure!

CD2713dpo
Morning!
AF cramps still here too Radders! Are you due today?
Jem Are you IC'ing again? x

Would be due tomorrow On 28 day cycle so near enough really. Today is day 14 of lp so if comes today it's bang on.

I will be going the toilet a lot today to check!

Jem - I've been reading and ICs can be pretty unsensitive so if you don't have any other AF signs I would use a FRER to be sure. If i didn't have temp drop and cramps I would be using it.

CD49grrr

Looks like the dark cloud of cramps have got us all last night..

I'm with u all on the frustrations waiting for AF now especially if you think you're out. I had am dream last night that I was pregnant. Mind playing cruel tricks.
Sorry physic for bfn, I know though exactly what goes through our crazy minds. I was tempted to do one today but feel it's not worth it. Temptation was there though.

No AF, temp 36.45. Lots of CM last night. Cramps too.

I don't understand why the temp still up? Am I just one hot chick or what?

So scan next Friday- you just know I'll start bleeding next week and can't have the blinking scan?!?!
Hurry up AF

Morning girls, very crampy now and feeling very pre menstrual - pretty sure will be here by lunchtime. Didn't bother doing another IC.

Is 5 months with not a sausage something to be concerned about? Can't shake creeping doubts that something is wrong with one of us.

Really low today

CD20 6/7 DPO

I'm sending friendly slaps to everyone who thinks they are out but aren't yet

Morning all cd8
Soo agreeing with jod, you ladies need a slap.

Jem, it took me a year ttc dd but had it easier with the others. Have a little more patience hun ((like l do?))

Radders and tee, l did the same thing of wearing a pad thinking af is imminent, and after 3days of constantly checking and nothing -bam my bfp so fx fx

Footprints, I'm so convinced that you are going surprise us with a bfp him.

Physic, I was feeling the cramps to for a couple of days and wondered what it could. Hope you are feeling better. I ov early though abt cd12-13

Nim, no symptoms yet??

Summer you are awfully quiet.

Waves parney, purple

Going out tonight so a bit of vodka and lemonade for me

With both my pregnancies I had cramps and even spotting when AF was due!

Today I have mild cramps and tender boobs. I'm 6/7 days post OV and I have honestly had cramps on a off (really low down period type ones) for the last 7 days? I don't remember this with other two. Bet it's a post Mirena thing and not a symptom.

Good morning all,

I'm sorry I disappeared yesterday. Something footprints said about your body having to be able to support a pregnancy really got to me, I'd never thought about it that way, now I feel like even though I'm comfy enough for a baby on the outside, it's a pretty shitty environment on the inside. I think I needed to hear that to be able to keep the efforts to lose weight. I have kept under my calorie limit so far, and have gone running every day for 20 minutes (can't go any more than that). I hope it will make a difference.

I am really rooting for everyone here, and agree with the friendly slaps, you're not out until af comes. I don't do bbt or mc so can't really understand what most of you are talking about, but I think that those who feel stressed out could maybe lose one of those? I know I'd be going crazy if I had all that to worry about.

I missed the deal with the Brazil nuts, why are they good?

Jem you're not out until it shows.

AF is definitely coming for me, did the finger test and can tell its on its way down.

I always feel better once I know where I stand and looking forward to the month ahead. Going to try and stay calm. No temping or opking xx

Hey Purple, I'm so sorry if what I said got to you. I didn't imply directly to you I just was saying with anyone. Hope I haven't offended you? Or made you down. Really not intended..

I don't know if it has any medical evidence as I suggested, just from my clients who wanted to lose weigh to get pregnant they succeeded when they changed their eating habits, dropped calories, and had a mixture of diet exercise and supplements for vitamins they were lacking. It doesn't mean that anyone who is overweight wouldn't conceive as that is rubbish, as underweight people probably struggle more, its just about being healthy. Which will help anyone when they are pregnant to have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Sounds like you are doing really well already and is great. I'm sure you will get your BFP soon purple.
