Hi everyone,

Hope you don't mind me staring a new thread as the last is full to the brim now!

Just to recap myself:

Age 31
Ttc no.3
6dpo
1st cycle! (Agh!)

Anyone else?

Anyway I'm still clinging onto the bus but feeling extremely negative about this cycle as I've had what has almost! been the flu Sad
Couldn't get my sorry head off the pillow yesterday and feel like I've been 8 rounds with Tyson aiming right for the lungs!

Going to test on Thursday 19th as had my last two Bfps at 10 DP0

And just wanted to say thanks to everyone on the old thread that kindly gave me advise and a much needed pick me up with regards to being so --pathetically - Ill lol I took all advise on board and today I feel like it's finally letting up a little (woo!)

Hope are well and good news is coming for us all!! X

Congratulations chaos! Delighted for you Smilehere's hoping we'll be joining you on the Oct 🚌. Nausea and other unpleasant symptoms have left me though was light headed and generally off colour this morning. Went out for lunch and that seems to have cured the ick, hangover type sensation. Wouldn't mind but haven't been near a drink in ages 😁

Motherhippy16 · 22/01/2017 16:40

Flowers I'm currently due af today if I'm sticking to a 28 day cycle. Been having af like cramps on and off all afternoon though so think she is imminent. Just got in from work and so so hungry! Have had lots of cm after ov this month which doesn't usually happen x

RoseValleyRambles · 22/01/2017 17:29

Yay chaos! Great news. I think false positives are pretty rare. How exciting for you!

MissMagpie · 22/01/2017 18:07

Congratulations chaos! Exciting!

I am 11 dpo today. Have no symptoms of anything to speak of which is most unusual. Am thinking it does not spell good news though.

And to top it off I have just discovered my DS has chicken pox!

MissMagpie · 22/01/2017 18:08

BTW, I have my fingers crossed for everyone still waiting for their January BFPs. Xx

Addtothechaos · 22/01/2017 18:35

Thanks for congrats everyone. Will test again tomorrow and see if line is any darker, I'm hoping its a nice sticky bean!

Will do a digital next week if all goes well (they are bloody expensive aren't they!)

Fx some more Bfps follow on in the next few days! Will keep checking back and holding my breath for you all!

Much love xx

Congratulations Addtothechaos, that's wonderful to see!!

FX all around, everyone.

powerpuffer · 22/01/2017 22:52

So, I'm 6dpo and have no symptoms. None. The last 4 cycles I have had either very sore nips or sore boobs from 4/5dpo and yet now I'm almost on day 7 with no symptoms at all. Fingers crossed that no symptoms are a symptom itself!

MrsG30 · 23/01/2017 00:11

I'm with you on no sign being a sign powerpuffer fx for us both!

RoseValleyRambles · 23/01/2017 07:49

Fx for all those riding this bus to the end! Af will arrive tomorrow (going by average cycle) or Saturday (going by clue's prediction). No signs so far. Probably going to wait until Saturday to test unless she arrives before - don't want to have to cram testing into getting ready for work! :)

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/01/2017 08:02

Came off the mini pill 28 days ago (Boxing Day) and no sign of AF. Suspect ovulation on 10 jan but not sure, tested Saturday clearly negative.. am going to test again Wednesday 25th

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/01/2017 08:06

Have sore nipples and boobs which I don't normally get but it's been years since I had a period so could just be gearing up for that..

Motherhippy16 · 23/01/2017 08:51

Good morning all. Was due on yesterday and felt rubbish all day but as yet there is no af. I could be wrong with my dates though as can be plus a day or two sometimes. Have constant runny nose, unbelievably painful boobs and cramps. Have brought a lot of lemonade with me to work today and will buy a test on the way home unless af gets me today! . Fx for everyone. X

MissMagpie · 23/01/2017 09:39

Powerpuffer and MrsG I am with you on the no symptoms symptom.

I am about 12 dpo today and have nothing to show for it really!

It's CD27 for me and I usually have a cycle of 32 or 33 days but ovulated early this month for some reason and I usually have a 12 -14 day luteal phase.

If I really think about it there are some very faint crampy feelings from my uterus area on and off since yesterday but I wouldn't notice them if I didn't want to! I did have a kind of sore feeling from my chest last week but I think I was fighting off a cold as also had that tension-in-the-neck thing you get when you are about to get ill.

Not sure when to test. Might wait until the weekend because I hate getting BFNs.

MrsG30 · 23/01/2017 09:47

thegrumpysquirrel when I came off the pill in October, I spent most of November absolutely convinced I was pg because I had really strong signs. 4 bfns and a frantic call to my midwife cousin, but turns out it was just my body preparing 😔

missmagpie if I was grasping, I could say I have the odd crampy twinge down there and occasionally the shadow of a sore boob, but that's seriously grasping at straws! I'm just going to enjoy this week with no af signs - they seem to make it drag on for longer than necessary!

MrsLoz · 23/01/2017 09:54

Hello everyone!

I am a bit late to the bus but I am clinging on!

TTC No1
Came off the pill in August last year, and my cycles haven't evened themselves out yet. Had a range of 28 days to 36 days.

So today is CD36, according to Ovia I am now 2 days late. Purposely didn't buy any tests so couldn't be tempted, last time I got to 36 days I went and bought a test and low and behold AF showed up an hour later.
Was trying to be strong and hold out a couple more days but feel so nauseous this morning. No other symptoms though really, just a few cramps like I would normally get when AF is about to show.

Cue the clock watching for rest of morning before I dash out at lunchtime to the nearest pharmacy! TTC craziness is probably going to find me POAS in public toilets in about 3.5 hours haha

TheGrumpySquirrel · 23/01/2017 09:57

Thanks mrs yes probably just hormones readjusting but really frustrating not knowing! I think if no BFP on Wednesday which will be CD30 I'm just going to put it out of my head for a few weeks. Annoying that it's not clear when AF will return

Motherhippy16 · 23/01/2017 11:00

Hi Mrsloz yes I haven't brought any either to stop me wasting more money and to stop the heartbreak. However I am going to buy a hpt on the way home from work. Can u test in the evening after ur af due date or ido it still best to wait till the morning? Knowing my luck I'll buy it on the way home and then come on! Good luck and fx for all x x x

RoseValleyRambles · 23/01/2017 12:19

Sounds like two testing today! Exciting times - keep us updated and fx! I'm adding 'occasional twinges' to my symptom spotting list. 9dpo... AARGG!

kmc16 · 23/01/2017 12:54

Hi ladies,

Hope you don't mind me jumping on!

24
1st cycle after miscarriage (1st cycle started 25th December)

I'm 1 day late now and Tested 2 days before I was due and today and got BFN both times. My body went back to normal very quickly after my loss and I ovulated again 2 weeks later but didn't get a BFP so tried again this month but I'm not sure if it's my month. I didn't get a BFP until I was 4 weeks before so I'm scared of the same thing happening again. No AF symptoms or pregnancy symptoms so rather confused! Sorry to unload on all of you lovely ladies! Baby dust to you all!

lexilou86 · 23/01/2017 13:00

Hi All,

I'm CD 3 of 31 (normally) did a internet cheapie yesterday BFN :(
been cramping- think Im out :( here we go- another bloody month

MrsLoz · 23/01/2017 13:14

Well as predicted I caved and POAS, big BFN for me. Will leave it a few more days now and see if AF shows up, if not will try test again with FMU.

RoseValleyRambles · 23/01/2017 13:26

Hey kmc. Sorry for your loss. Welcome to the bus! Hope you get clarity one way or the other soon. In the meantime, join us for the ride!

Bows85 · 23/01/2017 13:30

AF arrived this morning Sad Totally gutted as it's confirmed that my lp is shorter than I would like (10 days). That, teamed with my long cycles has made AF's arrival all the more upsetting.

Going to see GP to see if they think it's worth investigating.

Might take a break from apps, OPKs and bbt for a bit as I think it just adds to the stress. DH away with work for the most part of Feb so unlikely that it will be our month.

GL to everyone still to test. Got my FX for you all Smile

kmc16 · 23/01/2017 13:43

Thank you RoseValleyRambles! It's nice to have people to talk to! :)
