January bus continued...? Anybody still clinging on...!?!

[Addtothechaos]

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
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

Ohh dear, the angst but like you say it's not over 'til it's over so fx for you. I am pretty sure it's over for me though, the cramps I had yesterday and now this morning are ridiculous and really getting on my tits, I barely have cramps when I'm on my period never mind the day before so I'm thoroughly unimpressed. Just want to stupid thing to come now so I can stop thinking about it

I agree...am hoping I am pg otherwise these are my regular pms symptoms and I've been having them constantly since ov! Don't think dh could take this every month! Have been so emotional...bless him he's a star for putting up with me! Have been reading about not getting bfp for a while after af due dates so maybe I ov later than I thought and my hcg level isn't Hugh enough yet. Clutching at straws I know x much love to all x

Sorry pass and mother. I did a frer too and it's s glaring bfn. 10dpo, still possible but feeling ok today, no symptoms at all which is usual in a regular month. I had so many more indicators last month, more aches and pains and I knew things were different. So preparing myself for the Feb bus, with a detour via the off licence!

Think I'll be joining you there minime! X

Motherhippy my SIL is about 11 weeks pg, we were talking about it the other day and she said she tested a week after af was due and her line was very faint - not sure if she tested earlier than that too but just goes to show you can be a week past AF and not get a glaringly obvious BFP x

Thank you passmethewine at least I only have a half day of work today then I can come home. Deep breathes and a smile me thinks! X

Sorry mother. Can't remember - are you very recently off pill? If so, this may not be a permanent pattern. Wine, never any harm in trying if you're stressed. Anyone else testing today? I'm awaiting a seat on the train so i can draw our bingo card. :)

Well onto day 37 for me, did a Superdrug early response test this morning. Still a BFN!

Had stomach ache for days now and I'm so bloated it's ridiculous. Can't get my trousers fastened for work.

I'm too holding out a small hope that I'm one of those people who doesn't get a positive until long after AF is due!

Starting to feel a bit womb-y. Af may well be on her way. Grrr.

Rose Yes I am...finished in Oct last year. Am feeling so sick and exhausted already. Can't wait to go home and sleep! Sure af will make an appearance today although have been thinking this since Friday and everything I go to the loo nothing! So frustrating x

I'm off the bus, AF just arrived! Good luck to the rest of you, keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you x

Ducks good luck - that def looks like a positive.

Sorry for the BFNs - really hope they become positive in a couple of days for you. Or at least AF arrives so you can have some wine and prepare for the month. The uncertainty is the worse feeling.

I am 13 dpo. I am not testing as only cd28 and though I ovulated early my average is 32 or 33. Have had a few very faint cramps but nothing like the usual pre AF. My boobs are feeling weird - not heavy like last month but painful when my son uses them as a push off for getting off my knee and keep having sharp pains. Weird.

Hi all

Just came on here on my lunch break to see how your all getting on! Sorry to see some Bfns. But honestly don't count yourselves out till af arrives!

motherhippy you might be testing too early like I did! I was sure I was further from ov than I actually was and got the Bfns for it. Then tested a few days later (think 2/3 from last test) and got the faint line so still don't count yourself out!!

Hope all are well and having a good day otherwise xx

Addtothechaos yes u may be right. I wasn't tracking with an app so went by average days etc and cm. Was possible I ov on the weds rather than the Sunday/Monday that I thought. Never rambert being this bloated and this tired and emotional with normal months. Have told dh that I will test again onow Friday if no af. Much love to all x

I tested this morning at 8dpo as I've got a meal out planned and it was most definitely a BFN. Pretty much what I expected but still frustrating.

I'm finding it odd that my boobs and nips aren't sore like they usually are after ovulation. I've also got a headache and am errrr, gassy, but other than that I'm perfectly normal. I don't want to be normal, I want giant veiny boobs with implantation bleeding and any other symptom on the bingo card!

I'm with you hippy. I'm on cd 31, completely unheard of!! I suspect I too ovulated late so just got to wait now, I expect af will be here some time between Saturday and the next Saturday 😢 Just want her to arrive so we can get on with cycle 11. Xx

Congratulations duck!!! 💐 Xx

Sorry for the bfns 😢 have a glass of and a hug xx

Does anyone know what your CM should look like just before AF or just before a BFP? I am never sure whether I should get my hopes up or not when I see something.

Can I tentatively get back on the bus? Maybe AF hasn't turned up after all, although she probably will after I've typed this..the law of sod and all that

Missmagpie as I understand it right before AF you supposedly have a dry day or two, or it might be creamy/sticky (I guess it depends what is normal for you) and before BFP quite a few women seem to get lots of white, lotion like CM or I think watery can be a sign too?
Which have you got?

I would describe it as looking like very faint yellow snot (nice!).

It's quite thick and stretchy.

Kind of between the two types which is useful. Though maybe more towards the pre AF type so not getting my hopes up!

Ducks there is def a line there!
I just keeping checking back to see the news although I'm on the Feb bus now. Good luck everyone your not out till AF arrives

Magpie I had the yellowness last month and had a faint bfp (ended in chemical) I remembering thinking this is weird/new, so I'd say it's a definite sign of good things

I've ordered a couple of frers from Amazon and in the meantime I bought a £1 test from the chemist.
