Congratulations Purple!! What a roller coaster! Gorilla tattoo for you.
I'm pretty sure AF has just arrived or will in the next 30 mins. She's early which is fine given that OH didn't do a willy sick over the fertile window so I was never in to be out, so on to round 2 for me. Ding Ding!

MotherofUnicorns · 12/10/2016 15:11

willy sick

love it.

Congrats purple - how exciting!!

purplebella · 12/10/2016 15:25

Thanks soozc! Af due tomorrow.

Congratulations Purple!

saritah · 12/10/2016 15:43

Congratulations purplehaze! Woo!

I may not be out after all Confused Had EWCM for the last three days, though if my cycle was normal I'd have ovulated a week ago. This is only my third month off the pill – anyone else had late ovulation after coming off it? Looks like it's going to be a long wait for AF again ... Christmas may come sooner!

Age: 32
TTC #1
Cycle #1
AF due 20/10 but a bit all over the place

Lulu298 · 12/10/2016 16:38

Congratulations purplehaze! Gorilla tattoo and stuffed toy are definitely on the cards!

Willy sick!!! Ha ha flappergirl!

MrsG280516 · 12/10/2016 16:45

Congratulations purple!!

Writerwannabe83 · 12/10/2016 17:07

Congratulations purple!!!

My night was ok - DS woke up at 01.50am but went back to sleep after a quick breast feed and thankfully I then dropped off quite easily. He then woke again at 05.15am, five minutes before my alarm was due to go off, and that was a total nightmare as he obviously wanted my attention at the same time I was trying to get ready to leave. I was hoping to have gotten up, got ready and left before he even woke up but never mind Smile

First day of my course is over and now I'm lying on my hotel bed overlooking a street in London and I'm loving the peace!!!!

SoozC · 12/10/2016 17:38

Yay, purple!!! Big congratulations to you!

Enjoy the peace, writer. Have a nice long bubble bath with a glass of wine Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 12/10/2016 17:44

There isn't a bath in the room and I don't have wine either Grin

There's a convenience store over the road so I'm going to go and buy myself some chocolate instead Grin

MissMagpie · 12/10/2016 19:26

Congratulations purplehaze! Fantastic news.

Writer a baby free night sounds like bliss - enjoy. I have been lone parenting my 2yo this week and am knackered. Don't know how single parents cope. Meanwhile my DH has been "working" in Paris. Alright for some!

Does anyone know when pregnancy symptoms start - or the earliest you might have had them? I can't remember!

I am between 5 and 7 dpo according to my CM and nothing to report yet....

PurpleHaze1 · 12/10/2016 19:35

Thanks so much everyone. It still hasn't sunk in yet!

MissMagpie I have zero symptoms. There are a few very minor things I could possibly say were a sign but really there has been nothing different about this cycle. It's hard to remember but I think my first symptom (painfully sore boobs) started around 5/6 weeks with DD then the sickness kicked in after that.

Oh yay purplehaze!!!!!! That's fantastic news.

Willy sick. Dying over here!!!!

I've got to stop symptom spotting over here. It's driving me mad. Sad

MrsG280516 · 12/10/2016 20:28

Oh Mouse I hope AF comes for you soon or you get a BFP! The waiting with nothing happening is the worst. Have you done any OPKs?

MouseLove · 12/10/2016 20:33

MrsG nope just played around with my temp. I'm beginning to think I might be wasting my time with temping if I'm honest as it won't help me predict anything until after it's happened. OPKS might be a good idea for next cycle. I think it's the feeling of complete darkness and not knowing what's going on that I'm struggling with. If I knew my cycles. Knew when to expect things... I think I'd feel better.

I feel like I was at the very start. Going mad. My 2WW was pretty ok hahaha.

SoozC · 12/10/2016 22:20

Sounds like a good second best, writer!

Nothing here but af due Friday or Saturday. It's kind of nice to know the tww is over again - this time tomorrow evening I'll probably be getting af pains and I look forward to next cycle.

FlashingLights · 12/10/2016 23:56

missmagpie I didn't test with DS until AF was 8 days late. I had no symptoms at all until about a week later, so I was about 6weeks

SoozC · 13/10/2016 07:09

Yep, drop in temp this am and some vague af-type cramps. Even though you know it's going to happen, a small part of you shrivel up and dies, doesn't it? Ah well.

Lulu298 · 13/10/2016 07:41

Know totally what you mean soozc. Xx

FlashingLights · 13/10/2016 08:44

Worked last night - it was so busy that I didn't get a chance to pee or drink since 1am. I decided I'd use that as a FMU to get rid of my last IC

But do I have a squinter?!?!? It's even clearer in real life but very faint.

Excuse me whilst I try to sleep for tonight's shift gahhhh!

Yep squinter definitely in the second photo flashing! Congrats!

FlashingLights · 13/10/2016 08:55

I've just Amazon Prime'd a pack of FRERs!

PurpleHaze1 · 13/10/2016 08:58

I see a line Flashing. It was those tests I used on Monday & didn't even get a squinter. FRER and CB yesterday were clear lines! Congratulations!

sandsandwiches · 13/10/2016 09:04

Congrats purple! Could just be a squinter there in the ring pic flashing can you retest with a post nights sleep wee?!

Hope those waiting for AF/BFP find out one way or another soon..the waiting is tough! Still only 5 days po (I think)here and seems like ages...holiday is taking my mind off it but we're staying with a 4 week old & the baby cuddles are making me too broody. Trying to help though so it's worth it - our friend's partner left her when she was pregnant so she's now living with her parents, single parent with a newborn which is tough with no sleep...

FlashingLights · 13/10/2016 14:52

Thanks guys! That was my last HPT but I've just done an OPK because I read they can detect pregnancy and this was the result.

sands Ah lovely newborn cuddles, your friend must be so, so grateful for your help!
