Thanks hippy. Smile

Hippychic79 · 20/12/2016 17:49

We will get there bluebell I'm sure. You're not alone xxxxxxxxxx

bluesdetoi · 20/12/2016 18:29

Lovely attitude Hippy, its so important to remember all the things we should be grateful for in life and to enjoy the season.

I'm having really terrible stomach cramps all day, it's like the worst AF ever. Hope this crap passes soon.

Bluebell ,I'm really sorry. I hope everything is alright. Maybe you can schedule an appointment with your gyn, it might give you some peace of mind. Hugs xx

minime2016 · 20/12/2016 18:43

Crampy all day and an upset tummy this evening. Feels like af is on her way but it's waaaaaay too early. Not due til Sunday. Bfn this morning and feeling this way makes me suspect I'll be hopping onto the Jan bus soon Sad

powerpuffer · 20/12/2016 20:27

Sorry to all those getting AF. It seems like she's been far too busy for my liking recently.

I'm ovulating today according to OPK and my husband has just come home and crawled into bed with a full on fever, shivering and popping paracetamol, which is most unlike him. We've DTD the past 4 nights so I'm not too worried but ideally I wanted another go today and tomorrow, which now won't happen. He looks so poorly and I'm still not 100% from having flu two weeks ago so I guess my energy is needed looking after him and hoping he's better for Christmas. But between us, I'm annoyed at the timing, although I know it's not his fault!

Mummyme87 · 20/12/2016 20:59

I hear you powerpuffer. My first night of flashing smiley face on OPK OH didn't shower after cycling so we were not dtd at all. I ovulated yesterday and we dtd 4nights pre ovulation and last night. I feel we should again tonight but I have had a splitting headache all night and can't face it again 😒

BertieBotts · 20/12/2016 22:59

Defo out, AF arrived full force.

Have opened the Wine :)

See you on the next bus.

minime2016 · 21/12/2016 07:55

Bertie think I'll be seeing you on the next bus too. Af not here but spotting this morning. Had this 2 cycles ago (it's not my normal pre af pattern) so think I'm likely out Sadthinking positively and of the prosecco I can have at the weekend Xmas Wink onto another cycle

HellsBellsK · 21/12/2016 08:08

Morning Ladies,

Sorry for all who got AF! Hopefully you will enjoy the Christmas Wine
I was due AF yesterday and nothing. Starting to get a heavy feeling in my lower abdomen this morning so thats usually a sign she is coming. Since Iv got up think iv been to the loo 10 times!
If AF doesn't arrive I will take a test in the morning I think. I am terrified to test in a way. Just don't want to see BFN.

Good luck to everyone else in the 2ww xx

Tinkerbell2319 · 21/12/2016 08:13

BBT is dropping so losing hope, it's been a loooooong cycle which has taken it's toll now feeling quite fed up

Hopefully next one will be better, just can't wait for AF to arrive and get it over with now so gonna go off and have a sulk then probably shuffle over to the January bus when I'm done feeling sorry for myself

Fx for those still waiting to test, hoping for more BFPs x

Mummyme87 · 21/12/2016 09:25

I am 2dpo in the 2ww... this is going to be a longggg two weeks. Thank god I have Christmas in the midst to keep me occupied

Hippychic79 · 21/12/2016 09:43

Blues - thank you. It's so important to stay positive... I know it's hard but we can't let af get us down! FlowersFlowersFlowers

Minime - FlowersFlowersFlowers

Power - fx for you. My oh works so much we only ever get dtd once or twice in my fertile window... and he's not even poorly ... i understand your frustration xxxxx

Bertie & tinkerbell - FlowersFlowersFlowers stay positive ladies xxxxxxx

Hells - good luck xxx fingers crossed xxx praying for you xxxxx

Fx to all still waiting xxxxxxxxxx

Ohb0llocks · 21/12/2016 10:08

I may or may not have just tried testing... on 6dpo Blush

powerpuffer · 21/12/2016 10:31

ohb0llocks Slightly early but I understand why you did it. I test from 8dpo with FRER but my bank balance can't allow me to do that for too long! I have an 11/12 day luteal phase so for me thats only a few days before my period. Or so I tell myself to justify my addiction!

Only a few more days and you'll likely know around Christmas!

bluebell17 · 21/12/2016 10:37

Morning all. Well, I've not tested this morning and I'm still spotting. Well I'd say it's heavier than spotting but as yet AF hasn't arrived in full force. I'll see how today goes and possible test with a FRER tomorrow if nothing changes again. Fx to all in tww!

Motherhippy16 · 21/12/2016 10:51

Completely understand testing early am having to stop myself but the earliest I can test is Saturday so I'm (trying to!) Hold on till then. Definitely feeling strange though with twinges and feeling sick and dizzy. May just be wishful thinking though. Luck to all x x x

Arual123 · 21/12/2016 12:14

Fighting the urge to do a test. Promised myself I would wait until Friday if no AF but don't know if I can hold off. Pretty sure if I go to buy a test she will probably arrive before I get the chance to use it !!

Arual123 · 21/12/2016 12:28

Well my previous post can bring scrapped, AF must have appeared literally as I typed. I guess the consolation is not having to explain not drinking over the festive. Xmas Sad

Carlotta82248 · 21/12/2016 12:55

For those early poas addicts that are slowly going bankrupt, I was the same and then I got these, showed a feint positive 6dpo before a frer, an early clear blue or anything else! X

December Bus #2
Itsjustaphase84 · 21/12/2016 19:11

I'm off this bus. It stopped by AFs house and was invited in with a drink... So upset today at the sight of AF today. So I've cracked open a drink to drown my sorrow. Xx

MissMagpie · 21/12/2016 19:17

So sorry for everyone who has seen AF this past couple of days. What a bitch. Chin up and bottoms up in the meantime.

I am 8 dpo today. Not sure if I have symptoms of anything other than exhaustion from running around after a toddler suffering an extreme case of the terrible twos. Actually looking forward to work tmrw for a break!

Hippychic79 · 21/12/2016 19:23

FlowersFlowersFlowers- for you Phase xxxxxxxxx
I'm on the January bus so you're not alone - I've had the within for two days ... least she'll be gone by Xmas and fertile window just round the corner .... stay positive Hun .... I know it's hard but anything worth having is never easy xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Itsjustaphase84 · 21/12/2016 19:25

Thanks Hippy. See u on there. Let's keep at it!!!! Confusedt

MrsCummings · 21/12/2016 19:50

Right there with you ohb0llocks!

Much to DH's complete and utter disgust (and MUCH mocking followed) I tested last night 6/7 DPO!

Grin
powerpuffer · 21/12/2016 20:59

I've just realised that at 1dpo due to late ovulation, I think I'll be the only one left on this bus (hopefully for positive reasons!) by the time I test!
