Oh rubbish harrypotter have some

Harry I think Ill be with you in the morning. Really sore back and brown spotting this evening. AF isn't due till next Monday/Tuesday.

Hi ladies,

Jumping on this bus from November because the witch is here!

TTC 1
Cycle 2
CD 1
AF due: December 22nd

harrypotternerd Sorry the witch got you and Hellsbells hope AF doesn't arrive, remember you aren't out until she appears!!

Welcome,Bluesdetoi
I am having lots of 'symptoms' over here. Sort of achey side boobs on and off, felt mildly nauseous and sort of stomach churny all day. Welled up during a hypothetical discussion with DH when he suggested the possibility of POSSIBLY moving 'at some point in the future' and I shouted at the dog because I wanted to shut the door and she didn't go through it quick enough... then I gave her a hug because I nearly squished her in the doorframe. Poor little pooch, she was v confused.

6 more days till I can test... Ahh the suspense! Trying to be rational but have it in my head that this is my month (this is my 9th cycle so why I believe this one is any different I don't know)

Fingers crossed Flamingo! I'm losing hope no real symptoms today, 2 days to testing, 4 to af. Feeling fluy but that's going round work so explainable. Few twinges but nothing to suggest it's anything other than pms. On the positive side, I may be able to have wine this weekend and the way this week is shaped up it'll be most welcome

Hello! I think I O-ed yesterday as I got a small temp rise this morning. I guess I've officially started the 2WW. Not hopeful at all that I'm in with a chance due to less than ideal dtd timing and having had a chemical last month (not to mention trying for bloody ages and feeling like it's never going to bloody happen!!!). Vowing not to test, just waiting for AF to come, or not as the case may be, but I'm staying on here for the chatter and hopefully to see lots of bfps. Also pledging not to symptom spot, as past experience tells me am clearly deluded where that's concerned. Good luck everyone!

Can I jump on the bus?

Af due - 6th December
Thrown everything at it this month conceive plus, opk so fingers crossed.

According to ovia am now out of the FW and into 2WW territory

Never did get a 100% convincingly positive OPK though but some days were darker than others :/ only did one a day and was always quite late in the evening as it's just not feasible to do it in the afternoon with work etc ... could I have just missed it or maybe the darker days were it? Who knowssss

Will just have to wait and see I guess! DTD lots all week though so can't have missed it and will keep going every other day until AF just in case

Cd 20 here! Should be feeling symptoms soon if there's any to feel! Got some achey boobs, but they're always like that! X

Jumped over from Nov bus as AF arrived today 4 days late
Age 34
Ttc #3
Cycle 7
Cycle day 1

High temperature, nauseous, unable to drink coffee and sore boobs today.... but I'm not symptom spotting at all!

I'm also only 3 or 5 dpo so very unlikely it's anything but my overactive imagination

Tinkerbell I was the same this month with not getting a 100% positive OPK . Never darker then the control line.

Have a feeling I'm out this month.

Thanks Flamingo hopefully. I have three different apps on my phone earliest AF says Sunday latest Wednesday so a waiting game I guess. The one I have been using for 1 year and usually always right says Monday

Ginger I also had a chemical last month so have a feeling everything is all over the place this month.

Hellsbells It's made me not sure whether to continue doing opks if it's never +ive anyway because suuurely I will have ov'd at some point but the fact it was never clearly positive makes me feel pessimistic about this month when I'm not even due AF until 5th December wondering whether doing them might be more added stress than it's worth

Sorry to hear, hope we're both wrong!

Glad youre joining december too mantra, cycle buddy! Sorry about AF though, she's an inconsiderate bitch :(

Hellsbells sorry to hear about your chemical. Judging by the threads on here it seems there are loads of people who've had this recently. I was very sad about it initially but in a way relieved that my body had done SOMETHING after months of nothing. How are you feeling now?

On OPKS, I gave up on the standard ones as I also never seemed to get a 100% positive line and found it very stressful. Have used CB dual digital past 3 months, always get the flashing smileys followed by static smiley indicating LH surge. They cost a sodding fortune but worth it from reassurance point of view and you test with fmu so no messing about with trying to figure out best time to test and whether you've drunk too much fluid or peed too recently!
Tinkerbell don't be pessimistic. Odds are you did ovulate and you appear to have dtd covered, so anything can happen

Gingerchoc FMU would be 100x easier, that's been the main hassle with the opks I've been using the time of day etc just isn't consistent it's not possible my days vary too much so maybe it's worth the investment then ... did you buy the CB one online? Might try that next month maybe, but trying to stay hopeful that it won't be necessary lol

Tinkerbell I'm thinking the same. I just got some in boots and amazon. But I did also get the CB ones haven't used them yet so will start next cycle.

Ginger Im okay now I think - was sad when it happened. Felt I couldn't say it to anyone. Did say it to my best friend but she didn't really say anything just 'oh right' so that upset me thinking may be I shouldn't be upset.
Glad you are feeling better also.

This baby making is a lot of hard work!

Seems like so long until I can test, especially with the early ov

Have Deena and mini me tested????? We're soooo due a few BFP.

Tinkerbell, I got my CB in Boots. Made the mistake of going for the pack with 10 rather than 20 tests (cheaper to go for 20). I'd recommend peeing in a cup rather than testing mid-flow as it's really annoying if you mess it up. Other good thing is once you get flashy smileys, you can test more often and the time of day doesn't really matter. I carry on testing first thing after a couple of days of flashies, but also start testing late afternoon or evening and I've sometimes hit the peak then which has given me a heads up to get going!

Hellsbells, I guess it can be difficult to understand from the outside, as unless you've been through it maybe it doesn't seem like a real loss because it's so early. However, for me it was. I really felt pregnant, proper symptoms and everything, and I clung on to the hope that the pregnancy would go ahead even when it was looking hopeless. There are lots of lovely people on here though who do understand and we'll get there in the end. It's also find to be sad and grieve for what couldn't be. Take care x

Hi ladies-yip I've tested this morning and a bfn af not due til Monday but not hopeful as the only tangible symptom has been twinges in the boobs and hungry. Putting this down to pms. Time will tell.
