It's agony, waiting to know for sure isn't it Calm?
I am not going to test until the day my AF is due. That's if it hasn't arrived by then, what with my irregular cycles et al.
I keep getting crampy moments so not sure if it's PMS or implantation at about 9/10 dpo.
Oh the anticipation....
Really fancied a glass of wine or two this weekend too!

bluesdetoi · 17/11/2016 15:11

Congratulations Katie!

LOL Baguette, about to leave work and seriously considering getting some tests. I just need to satisfy the test monster! Grin But nope, I will be strong, it's almost weekend.

Flapper - the farting. Oh man. I hope thats not a symptom I get. I work in an office closely with other people, and leaving my desk that often to fart would be the worst lol, I dont want my colleagues to speculate about my digestive health.

Flappergirl86 · 17/11/2016 16:47

I'm quite lucky. I work with Autistic people who for the most part don't think farting is rude or gross so I can trumpet at will without any raised eyebrows. If there's staff around they assume it was a service user so it's win win really.

Morning ladies. Congratulations on your BFP sands and Katie!

Good luck and fx to everyone still on the bus and Flowersto everyone who's got AF.

CD 30 here. Longest cycle for a while, that's if it's a cycle. After my super long AF and no positive OPK, am now paranoid the menopause has arrived! BFN yesterday so will leave it till next Wed before testing again if no sign of AF as really doubt am up-duffed. Am actually really hoping to see AF as early menopause would be very sad.

eckythumpenallthat · 18/11/2016 07:51

Cycle day 33
BFN
What is my body trying to do to me????!!!! I've never had a cycle this long before. I have a rough idea when I ovulated (as it has me bent double in agony) and I'm all outta tests now

MissMagpie · 18/11/2016 16:27

Has time stood still?!?! I am still 5 days away from AF being late!!!

No symptoms to speak of either. Felt really nauseous earlier but think it was stress related due to my boss emailing me 20+ times in what is supposed to be my day off. That ain't going to help my fertility is it?!

janiPop · 18/11/2016 16:36

Hi ladies just checking in. I'm around 5/6 dpo and have had mild cramps on and off but I usually get those anyway. Also had lots of wet/creamy cm after ov which I've only noticed this month. My lp is 11 days. Hope that's long enough.

ringroads · 18/11/2016 18:06

Im still here too 6-7 DPO dnt feel any different, got a banging headache tho! Prob due from the stress at work and the stress of driving myself crazy with symptom spottingSad

bluesdetoi · 19/11/2016 07:47

Im still here as well, time indeed is standing still. Since this is my first cycle, I wasn't expecting tww to be soooooooo long!

Testing tomorrow and I'm very excited although not super hopeful because I simply don't believe I'll be so lucky that I'll conceive in my first month of trying.

I can deal with AF too, a new cycle with a chance for improvements isn't so bad either!

MissMagPie, are you testing tomorrow also?

JeNeBaguetteRien · 19/11/2016 10:23

I'm jumping off the bus though I haven't reached my desired destination... got BFN yesterday and AF is arriving.
Good luck to you testing, have fingers crossed and will look in to see how you get on. I'll save a few seats on the December bus in case they're needed (hope not! )

charley2016 · 19/11/2016 11:54

I'm out ladies. Looks like AF is here this morning. Sorry to the others who got caught. Fingers crossed for all of you ladies still waiting though Smile

MissMagpie · 19/11/2016 17:18

I'm waiting until Weds or Thurs blues unless AF shows up first.
I have decided I prefer the hope to the disappointment!
Still getting the feeling my period is about to start on and off.

Good luck with your test. Fingers crossed. Let us know how you get on.

ringroads · 19/11/2016 18:00

Blue when is AF due? Good luck for tomorrow! X

Lulu298 · 19/11/2016 22:31

Am having such a strange cycle! CD31 and had a positive opk tonight and one last night so guess I must be ovulating. It doesn't matter anyway as DH too ill (again, groan) to dtd so imagine I will move over to the December bus pretty soon.

Good luck for those still to test!

MissMagpie · 20/11/2016 16:46

Why are the symptoms for early pregnancy the same as for PMS?!
Been having weird cramping today - kind of sore feeling and pulling feeling. My boobs are also starting to feel sore. So basically no nearer knowing anything.

ADuckNamedSplash · 20/11/2016 17:16

Hi all - I've been lurking for a while...

Age 28
Cycle 1
CD 24
10 DPO
AF due 25 / 11

Lulu - I know you had a BFN a few days ago but I've read that OPKs also give a positive result if you're pregnant, so maybe worth retesting?

Lulu298 · 20/11/2016 20:43

Welcome aduck. Are you trying for #1?

Did another opk tonight and it was negative so think it must be some freakishly late ovulation. If it had looked positive, I think I would have done a hpt as you say aduck. Just got to wait for AF now as this month has been a write-off.

ADuckNamedSplash · 21/11/2016 06:24

Thanks Lulu. Yep, trying for #1.

Sorry to hear that - best of luck for next month!

bluesdetoi · 21/11/2016 11:31

Hey guys!

So I tested yesterday and today and got BFNs. My period is due today, but I'm not experiencing any symptoms at all. Just waiting now though, all the BFNs are really knocking my excitement down a few pegs.

At this point, I kinda just want AF to show her ugly face so I can mentally move on to Cycle 2, right now I'm just in limbo which sucks.

MissMagpie · 21/11/2016 12:53

Really sorry to hear that blues.
I know exactly how you feel. Every month you get your hopes up and it hurts a lot when you are disappointed again. Keep the faith. It will happen eventually.
Hope AF shows soon. Sending hugs.

bluesdetoi · 21/11/2016 13:12

Thanks missmagpie. FlowersAny news for you?

ringroads · 21/11/2016 13:14

Oh so sorry blue, but as the famous saying. Goes your not out until AF is in. X

MissMagpie · 21/11/2016 15:20

No news from me.
Still no AF and haven't tested either. Today is CD34. My average cycle length this year is 33 days. My shortest is 28 and my longest is 37. I am not really sure when to test. I am terrified of getting a BFN and having to start again. Any thoughts?

Felt very pre-menstrual this morning but that has gone off a bit. Feeling quite bloated. And heavy boobed that tingle very now and then. I also have a bit more creamy CM which I am not sure is usual or not!

So basically, it could be AF or it could be pregnancy. Helpful!

Trying to convince myself that if I am not pregnant, at least I can drink on my Christmas do!
