[Bucky2008]

Ahhh, look how nice and clean and new this thread is .

And there is a big ScaryHairy birthday cake for us all to share. I am not being good till after Thursday afterall...

Caitni there is no such thing as TMI on this thread missus ! I used to have spotting for 5-6 days prior to AF every month. I had googled it so much and convinced myself there was something terrible wrong then after 4 cycles BFP ! I have dug out my BFP chart so that you can see what happened - my spotting only lasted for 3 days and was actually a little heavier than usual then stopped altogether (it was usually followed immediately by AF). My BFP was several days afterwards so as long as no AF there is hope. I really hope this helps you. mibbes BFP chart . If you are not familiar with FF charts let me know and I'll explain

oh Mibbes thank you so much! It's so good to see your chart too . And even better to know that spotting pre-AF is not automatic doom!! The curses of google eh? (Another TMI alert) I've got lots of creamy CM at the moment, and not a trace of spotting, so am now fervently hoping AF stays away....

Bucky hope you can get theeself to a computer soon young lady. I'm itching to know how things are with you .

Bucky Well? Hope you have managed to get to a shop by now!

MrsH Oh bum. Hope you are having a big drink tonight. Get that hsg booked, then if that tube is blocked then you can make decisions about IVF (which i would thoroughly recommend )

Caitni Glad to hear you sounding a little perkier. I got a bit confused at first as to how spotting & pumpkins were linked Creamy CM is sounding good (IYSWIM) It's not over for you yet this month...

Mibbes I remember that well - you getting all that spotting, particularly just before your BFP cycle - weren't you about to book yourself in for blood tests? Crumbs, doesn't time fly!

I had an "interesting" situation earlier. I popped out to get some more hpts, madness i know but i am still testing at least once a day, just to reassure myself (we'll be bankrupt soon) and i went into superdrug who had packs of 2 of their own brand tests on offer, so i got 2 packs and took them to the checkout. The woman looked at me and said "why are you buying so many, don't you think you are?" (infront of loads of people in the queue) I said "actually i know i am, but i want to keep testing to reassure myself". She then said "have you lost one before then, is that why you keep testing?" At this point i can't actually believe that we are having this conversation, so i said "no, i haven't lost one, but it's taken us quite a long time to get to this point, i have just had ivf and i am a little anxious" I thought i might as well tell it as it is At this she looked rather flustered and said "oh, i completely understand" (no you don't you silly cow) "good luck". How can people be so insensitive as to ask WHY you are buying pregnancy tests?????? Hopefully she's learnt to keep her mouth shut.

LOL at the dozy pharmacy woman, MOB. I often get some funny looks when I go in to buy HPTs and tampons at the same time but fortunately people ahve the good sense to stay quiet...

Any news Bucky? Caitni let me get this straight - you've had a bit of spotting, and now you have creamy CM but AF hasn't shown up? Are you late yet? I think that all sounds promising...

I am still cross, but pizza and beer are about to make me feel better. I can't believe I have just had a 27 day cycle - I used to always be 32 days. At least my chances are coming more often these days I suppose.

The HSG is booked for a week on Thursday. I am nervous and hope it does not hurt too much since I am going alone and will be going back to work afterwards. I've also managed to book in to see my consultant on the following Monday so with any luck we'll be in a position to make a sensible decision about how to go forward then. I don't feel like I can take too much more of this to be honest. I remember last christmas feeling terribly down that I had not yet conceived (after 6 mo) and thinking that by christmas 2008 I would have my baby, or at least be very pg, and here I am being lapped by friends... Sorry to be so down, but I am finding it hard to pick myself up today.

Anyway, hopefully Bucky will have some good news with which to cheer me up! And Ei - I hope those ghost lines turn into bright pink ones in short order.

Are you KIDDING me MOB ....have people gone COMPLETELY insane??? Why would you do that? Why would you ask somebody something like that? I am dumbfounded.

And this is the point you all kill me....

So, I got really bad cramps when I went up for my course. Thinking 'ah AF is here' I put in a tampon and forgot all about it. Well, when its up there you don't know what is going on do you? so I assumed what with the ongoing ache that she was doing her thing. So I came home like normal and went to change the tampon and she is NOT here!!! . AND I have no test!!!! I didn't think I needed one anymore!

I haven't mentioned anything to DP yet. I don't want to get his hopes up. I still think she will show up and my body is just doing weird shit.

Caitni honeybunny, I forgot to give you a shout out the other day . So sorry you were sad. When we all get our BFPs we will have travelled an epic journey together!

So, on tomorrow. I WILL get one on the way to work....I promise, as long as she is not here by then!

I am 3 days late now . Do you think it actually could be? No, I have to stop myself thinking it....

Bucky that is such good news about AF not showing! I wish I could magic a HPT over to you. I'm getting quietly excited for you and will keep my fingers crossed that your body's not just acting weird!

MOB I cannot believe the pharmacy woman said that. I'm so shocked by it! Though proud of you for responding honestly, should teach her to keep her mouth shut and respect her customers' privacy!! Hope you're still POAS regularly, as seeing that nice strong line come up must be wonderful! It's money well spent for the piece of mind

MrsH Glad to hear the HSG is booked and even more glad that you can get to see your consultant so soon after it. And I know what you mean about feeling down with Christmas looming . We will get there eventually, it's just painful that it's taking so long [sigh]. I'm not actually late yet btw. Tomorrow is the day FF recommends testing, as AF is due overnight. Am comedy knicker-checking and boob-prodding though, to see if she's on her way. Taking my temp tomorrow should tell me one way or the other (as you know, it's the joy/pain of bbt - you just can't fool yourself when your temp plummets right down).

And to Ei (any more tests young lady ) and PnM and Mibbes and JB and RFN2 and everyone.

Bucky, you are making me cross now. Go to Tesco and get a test FGS!

3 days late - yes it could be!

OMG Bucky that sounds good... am soooo hoping this is your month.

MOB am absolutely at that nosey cow asking those questions, how insensitive ! Do you think she asks people coming in for condoms about their sex life - what a silly bint !

Caitni glad my chart has helped you. I have to say your symptoms sound very promising - if spotting has gone and lots of CM then that sounds just like what happened to me.... I don't want to get your hopes up too much but if no more spotting tomorrow I'd defo be testing... good luck !

Shall I start us a nice new thread to go with MOBs nice new bean .

What shall I call it? Are we still going to be the WIMBEWAI(N)Fers?

good idea bucky a lovely idea to start the new thread with a BFP you should wait until tomorrow morning though and announce your BFP there too
xx ei xx

Yes a new thread is a good idea. This one has no been too lucky for some of us. A new one is bound to be better .

Been to the chemist yet. Bucky?
What about you Ei?
And Caitni - did your period show or are you still hoping?

New thread, come and get the news
