I have such sore nips but not much else right now. Going to try and hold out til Friday to test but I doubt I will... I'm a POAS addict.

88claire · 27/12/2016 23:55

BFN for today... Day 43 (44 in 5 mins) and no sign of AF.... Confused

Sort of wish it would just come now so I can start trying next cycle!

Lovechild2016 · 28/12/2016 00:42

Sorry for long cycle claire so stressful, hoping it was a late ovulation and a BFP coming your way soon. Those who are late eeek! Hoping some BFPs will appear. I've had cramps all day expecting AF tomorrow and to be honest the amount of wine I've consumed in the last few days maybe it's for the best (although it hasn't stopped me googling: AF cramps before BF- a million times or secretly hoping)

MissMagpie · 28/12/2016 08:31

I woke up with very much like AF cramps and just wiped some pink on toilet paper so I think she is here. Late but here, damn her.

Hippychic79 · 28/12/2016 08:46

minime2016 · 28/12/2016 09:09

Still holding my seat on the bus. Woke feeling like af had arrived but nothing. Leg cramps and sore back so she may appear later. Now 4 days late. My IC are on their way-I'm wondering which will appear first, my tests or af? Deep down I'm reluctant to test and would be so gutted to see a BFN.

Kskifred · 28/12/2016 10:12

Sorry af has captured some of you, fx for those still on the bus.

I'm 6dpo and although i'm technically on the front of the jan bus when she pulls in, i'm secretly hoping i might get a last minute seat on the Dec bus if i test a bit early, wishful thinking i expect though but pma and all that!

Woke up with a rotten cold and cramps all last night but think my cold is lurgy based as it's going around.

Mummyme87 · 28/12/2016 11:14

9DPO today. No symptoms for last two days the few days before that I had pelvic pain/discomfort but all gone now. Was feeling positive not so much now though. Good luck to everyone else this week

Lovechild2016 · 28/12/2016 13:28

No AF yet.... hoping for a good reason. Those who have had BFP did anyone get bad cramps before? Yesterday for about an hour i had really strong cramps that made me feel dizzy. No further cramps but still feel very bloated and like AF coming but still have very clear damp CM (sorry for TMI). I've run out of hpt and i'm at my parents with no local shops or a car! I know i just need to be patient and time will tell but I am just anxious to know! Sympathy for others in my situation i know there are several anxious people out there!

minime2016 · 28/12/2016 14:03

Fingers crossed lovechild!

minime2016 · 28/12/2016 14:04

I've also had bad af cramps lovechild-bad few days before af was due, properly af like but nothing has ever come of it. Don't want to test to burst the hope bubble!

Lovechild2016 · 28/12/2016 14:11

Thanks minime I really hope we are both in for a BFP, i totally agree about not wanting to burst the hope bubble!!!

Mummyme87 · 29/12/2016 06:30

Omg I'm so upset. I am 10dpo today and thought I would test... I got a squinter then developed a bit more. Was so excited then picked the packet up and realised it was an OPK 😫 I got the test out in the dark from my drawer and the boxes are the same shape and size. And I had disposed of my first morning wee by then.

On another note I am having some light abdo discomfort this morning

Lovechild2016 · 29/12/2016 08:45

Aww sorry mummy that's really upsetting! I nearly did the same last week. If it was more than a squinter though remember OPK can pick up hcg, could try and squeeze one out (a little wee that is!) in about half an hour, you only need a few drops? Still no AF for me and cramps have stopped but feel very bloated... if I get to tomorrow without a visit I'll go and POAS. How are you minime?

minime2016 · 29/12/2016 09:27

Morning! Still nothing here and now 5 days late-what's going on?!? Saving my pee in case postie brings tests this morning-I need to know now. I'm not googling or symptom spotting at all-discounting the fact I'm tired, hungry, windyBlushand bloated all the time. Sure that could be due to Christmas. Prepared for a bfn. When are you going to test lovechild?

minime2016 · 29/12/2016 09:28

Duh, just reread and see your testing tomorrow. Blush

Mummyme87 · 29/12/2016 10:43

Can't retest as I am working all day until 8pm... in maternity but we don't have pregnancy tests here. I did an OPK last night for some reason and was almost positive it was so dark. Will retest tonight with an HCG test!!!!

Lovechild2016 · 29/12/2016 12:02

Sounds very promising mummy! And same for you minime, hope those tests have arrived. I'm off to a spa now so likely AF will arrive just in time (debating whether to pop a tampon in... Tmi apologies)

Kskifred · 29/12/2016 18:04

Feeling really off and queasy today, I can't tell if it's my body having enough of the rubbish food or there's more in it, I had implantation sickness with my ds so hoping it might be the same but so hard to tell with Christmas!

BertieBotts · 29/12/2016 19:17

January bus is already up and we've had people testing already! Fingers crossed for you Kski.

powerpuffer · 29/12/2016 20:11

I'm still clinging onto the December bus - to join the January bus would feel like admitting defeat to me!

I started feeling very poorly last night and at midnight I was so feverish I sobbed so loudly in our downstairs loo that it woke my husband! I didn't have the energy to climb back upstairs and have the worst flu like symptoms. I spent the night shivering and sweating and crying as I felt so poorly. 24 hours later and I'm still feverish despite paracetamol (consistent 39.5 temperature).

I tested this morning at 9dpo and it's negative but I'm wondering if this could be implantation symptoms? I know it is unlikely, I'm just trying to see a positive in this horrible situation. I had full blown flu before Christmas and had felt mostly better until yesterday when it's come back even worse than ever. I'm feeling very sorry for myself (and my very tolerant husband!).

Mummyme87 · 29/12/2016 20:51

I tested tonight and it looks negative 😕 Only 10dpo though. If you stare long enough at a strip I swear you can see a line 😂

HellsBellsK · 29/12/2016 21:06

Just popping in to see how everyone is doing.
Fx for everyone waiting to test!

Lovechild I had cramps - but more like stabbing pains I would say. My back started to hurt like AF was on its way... Its still sore now.
Enjoy the spa!

Trytowin · 30/12/2016 01:43

Hi can I join?

End of first month of 'proper' seeing what happens lol. I feel really odd can't stay awake for the last few days and with boob pain ( on the inside iyswim) plus feel a bit more veiny and back ache.

Could be wishful thinking!

I'm 30, dh is 32

AF due today done a couple of cheapy tests so far but bfn however distinct impression the cheapo ones I bought are not great so bought another cheapy brand for if af doesn't show. Good luck everyone!

Just been using my calendar app to track and using its calcs to show me my fertile week.

Hippychic79 · 30/12/2016 07:06

Flowers for you power xxx
Sorry to hear your feeling poorly again my friend... this tTC lark is stressful enough without the flu getting you too.
In terms of testing - it's probably a bit early so I'd give it a few more days if you can. I know that's easier said than done - once you start poas it's like Pringles - hard to stop until you pop :))) xxxx
Hi mummyme - probably a bit early too, your not out yet... fx xxx
Hi hells xxx
