Ov'd Tuesday 25th. I used a ebay cheapie and then a Clearblue OV digi stick just to make sure - so - it's offical, I'm on the 2ww. We BD cd11 cd13 cd15 cd16 cd17.

I'm feeling strangley optimistic this month, even though we've been trying for 5 years

Had af cramping this morning

Still, fingers crossed that it was really a pregnacy cramping sign

Hmmm, I have to say I've got that feeling that AF is on the way. Just slight crampy feelings in area.

I also had the odd compulsion to test with a cheepie test this morning.....read the instructions and then put them back in the drawer and went back to origonal plan to only test if I was late.

Was in bed late this morning as well....but may be beer and curry I had last night. Went for a long run today to make up for it.

Good luck!

MintChocAddict · 07/12/2008 23:52

Hi All,
Nothing to report here. Got another week(ish) before AF is due (long cycles). Got a feeling I might have missed the vital time this month, so not getting my hopes up despite my endless symptom spotting.
Just wanted to pop into say hi to all you ladies in waiting. Hope AF stays away and fingers and toes crossed for all.

BeckyBendyLegs · 08/12/2008 08:30

Hello! Can I join in? I'm due on 11th Dec but feel the cramps already so think AF is coming today or tomorrow .

My birthday is this month too! 25 December - lucky me!

I've got two DSs and trying for number three. Have had two MCs though... Been TTCing this time around since June. The 'due date' for the baby that was my last MC is actually tomorrow so was really, really hoping this month would be it but I don't think so. But its not over yet until fat lady sings and all that. We must have hope.

FertilityFiend · 08/12/2008 10:22

Well I'm out - AF turned up on Saturday evening. At least it was a good excuse to get drunk and stuff my face with takeaway while watching X Factor!

Hi BBL - sorry to hear about your MC , hope you get some good news soon.

Good luck to everyone else - keep us posted!!! xxx

Sn0wflake · 08/12/2008 13:37

Good luck xserial. My fingers are crossed for you!

AF not here yet for me but I think it's going to turn up on time. At least I have a regular cycle!

BeckyBendyLegs · 08/12/2008 18:34

My cycle is so regular I can usually tell you want time it will arrive. It used to be 4pm Friday but now it is lunchtime Thursday. How sad is that?

Sn0wflake · 08/12/2008 20:45

Wow that really is regular! I'm about 27 days.

Well I'm feeling a bit sicky tonight...could it be?! But I still feel like AF on the way....I really don't think so.

Alibobster · 08/12/2008 21:40

BeckyBendyLegs, so sorry to hear about your mc's - hope AF is keeping well away.

FertilityFiend, really sorry to hear about AF.

Hi to snowflake & Mint, fingers crossed for your ladies .

Xserial, Its sounding promising for you .I so hope it's good news.

Well on Saturday I had a big pinkyy/red blob which I thought was my AF starting (3 days early)and then had light bleeding for 2 days, but this has now stopped. My normal AF is usually quite heavy and lasts for 5 days, with bad back pain. any chance this could be an implantation bleed? Now you must excuse me while I go and find my big straw to clutch at xx

FertilityFiend · 08/12/2008 21:53

Alibobster - ooh that sounds exciting (well you know what I mean ) - when are you going to test?

It was a 26 day-er Xserial - I usually vary between 25 - 29 days. Another 9 day luteal phase though which is annoying, the B6 is not doing its job!

Is tomorrow test day for everyone? Fingers crossed for you all...

Alibobster · 08/12/2008 22:02

Don't know when to FF. I'm trying not to get too excited as this has happened to me twice before - one was a CP and one was an early miscarriage. I have one hpt in the house, might try tomorrow

MintChocAddict · 08/12/2008 22:07

Hi BBL . Welcome and lots of luck for good news soon.

Sorry AF got you this month FF. You've just described my every Saturday night (minus the booze this week, just in case )

Sno - feeling sick - could be a sign. Keep positive

Alibob - that sounds very promising. Grab that straw!! and keep us posted.

back to xserial. Keeping fingers crossed to you. Hope AF keeps away

I've started to get a bit spotty today which is usually a sign of impending AF for me. I was also very grumpy at work today, but don't think I can link that to PMT

MintChocAddict · 08/12/2008 22:12

Sorry Ali. Just saw your last post. It's a difficult call this test/not test lark. Good luck whatever you decide.

I'm on day 29ish. The last few months have seen my cycles even out around 35 days, so unfortunately tomorrow too early to test for me. I've just got a hunch that AF will be with me within the week.
Here's hoping I'm wrong.

BeckyBendyLegs · 09/12/2008 08:22

No AF yet for me but I can feel it coming. You know that feeling: bloated, going to the loo a lot, crampy, cranky, tearful. But those are also the early symptoms of pregnancy! Nature is cruel... Today is a strange day for me but I have to get through it. It's just a normal day really.

FF sorry to hear your AF came...I always go bonkers when my AF comes and drink wine, pepsi max, eat junk and just 'celebrate' the fact I can do these things!

Good luck Alibobaster and Sno with your symptoms!

MintChocAddict you never know...

I think at least one of us on this tread has to be pg!!! I need some good news!!!

mummy2olivia · 09/12/2008 08:24

Hi Becky- just wanted to let you know that am thinking of you today

BeckyBendyLegs · 09/12/2008 09:24

Hi m2o thank you that is sweet of you. DH hasn't even said anything but he is really busy at the moment with work. He's much more a head-in-the-sand person anyway - don't talk about it and it won't be so bad.

Sn0wflake · 09/12/2008 10:41

Hey Becky. i think you should talk yo your partner. He may be scared to talk to you just in case he upsets you. If you start the conversation you may find that he has been thinking about it.

Anyway no AF yet. If not here by tomorrow will test. I have very vague sickness...but I can't get past the thought that it's probably in my head as I really have felt like AF is on the way.

Hi all ((waves))

Well af hasn't turned up yet.

I'm joining the 'test or not to test' brigade I might test tomorrow if af hasn't turned up - but then again I might wait a little longer as I can definatley feel af on her way If I do decide to test tomorrow I'm going to use my last ebay cheapie

Bendy wow I'm well impressed with the perfection of your cycle

FF I'm on the B6 as well - and - it has varied my cycles abit. I used to be dead on 28 days (with 1 long cyle each year of about 35 days) but with the B6 I vary between 26-28 days (though this is cycle day 29).

Ali I'm with you girl can't make up my mind about testing. Whenever I test, I definately wont be using my cb tests I've been in this game way to long to do that

Snow it sounds really promising. When ever you test make sure you use your FMU (first morning urine) as it should your most concentrated (I think)

Mint Oooooh, only a few more days to go

Isn't if funny? If you get a BFP we then will become knicher checkers

It's my birthday today That's one of the reasons why I haven't tested - I couldn't bear to be disappointed as the odds are stacked against me.

Knicker checkers [sigh emoticon]

MintChocAddict · 09/12/2008 22:26

Happy birthday xserial. Hope you've had a nice day.

I prefer knicher to knicker anyway!!

Loads of luck if testing tomorrow to you, Sno and anyone else who's testing. Everything crossed for you all.

Sn0wflake · 10/12/2008 10:07

Morning. Happy Birthday for yesterday xserial.

Well I actually tested last night - with one of my cheap tests and I was really surprised when I got a line! Then I got my clear blue digital and it said 'pregnant'. I'm gobsmacked. I really didn't think I was. I had no symptoms whatoever untill day 28 when I started feeling very subtle nausea. And before that the sensations were exactly like a period coming on. Last night things hurt a bit - but still feels like period pains. So there you go.

FertilityFiend · 10/12/2008 12:06

Snowflake - wow congrats!! Hurrah - a BFP on this thread

Whenever I try and remember what it was like in v early pregnancy all I can remember is that for several days I was convinced AF was about to start as I was getting bad cramps - several times I got the tampons out, but... nothing. Then I twigged that I was actually late and got the shock of my life when I finally got round to testing on day 36.

Happy Birthday for yesterday xserial - hope you had a good day

BeckyBendyLegs · 10/12/2008 19:38

Yeahhhhh SnOwflake. That's fab! That's lovely news. I did say that pg symptoms are the same as AF symptoms! My AF isn't here yet but I have a stinking cold so my symptoms right now are: snotty nose, sneezing all the time, temperature, sore nose. Does that mean I am pg? Hmmm. Hang on....another one coming on....ATTTISHOOOOOUUUUUU! I look and feel like a lemsip advert right now.
