Teafan - I would probably test but I know what you mean about being a POAS phobic, if you did test and it was BFN you would get annoyed as AF has gone awol, that's what I did this month, this TTC malarky is a nightmare.

chowmein - congratulations bet it doesn't seem real yet?

nanoo - poor you really hope this is your lucky month and you don't have to go down the IVF route

My ebay cheapie OPKs and HPTs turned up today 15 OPKs and 10 HPTs for £4.88 bargain, from the same company I used with DD2 and 3, I know what to look out for now and know that the line doesn't go a decent colour until about 7days after AF was due and that a tiny tiny faint line is a BFP, if anyone else wants the link let me know.

Oops better go I cna hear DD3 up from her nap.

chowmein · 04/08/2009 16:12

teafan, i hope u feel better. i normally have regular cycles, but there are time they are longer or shorter, dont even know what causes them. ppl say stress, i m not so sure, how much stress is too much really. go and see ur doc if u r really worried. ttc or not, if there'r changes to ur normal cycle, maybe should check it out.

nanoo, u need to hang in there. best of luck to u . ur treatment is v expensive! i've everything crossed for u.

i have been symptom spotting too, think i m losing my mind as i've had symptom v early on at day 14. v gassy, and efficient bowel movement , usual for me during af. feel muscle pull in pelvic area. but i went to pilates on day 13, so think i might worked that area? also feel like something in throat at times, make me want to gag. and heavy in the pelvic area. boobs not sore mid cycle (normally 1 day of tenderness) or before af due (normally 2/3 days before af) but start to hurt when af is due till now. but i haven't had spotting, no cramps (dont have af cramps normally), and not feeling tired, no strange taste in my mouth n no increases sense of smell. am thinking i can't get symptoms so early, unless i ov really early? was trying to observe my cycle this month and start to chart, but haven't seen much ewcm or much cm in general, so dont know when i ov. i normally do have ewcm, but didn't note down when and thought it's infection, how ignorant is that.
while i know a line is a line, part of me can't believe it! thinking maybe af is late, and something else is giving be a +.

Spirael · 04/08/2009 17:31

This really is a lucky bus, huh? I'm not getting time to check here much, but congratulations to all the new BFPs since I last managed to post!!

Nothing to report here, really... As well as DTD I've been faithfully temperature checking each day, but it's all been pretty steady so far. So, I'm not sure whether or not I've actually ovulated this month. I guess I have a few more days before I should be too concerned.

I think I'm starting to go mad, however... I've found myself pondering suspiciously at every innocent little twinge I feel, as though it's something significant! Most of the time, I'm guessing I'm just hungry. :P

I get the feeling it's going to be a loooong two weeks...

chowmein as ive learned a line is a line..

nannoo absolute best wishes to you, you deserve some success!

teafan fingers crossed to you..

jamie hope everything ok with you.

As for me, ive decided to try and be positive and not let the mc colour how i deal with things..

hoops997 · 04/08/2009 18:08

congratulations leewt, this really is a lucky bus........

nanoo · 04/08/2009 20:17

Aw, I love the ladies on this bus - you're all so kind and supportive. Gonna keep checking in to get me through the next few days (last cycle I was so positive about the drugs that when AF came I was heartbroken :-( )

Read something on a website today that you can sometimes FEEL implantation. Wondering if that could have been my tummy cramps on Monday (because AF hasn't subsequently turned up). Anyone heard of such a thing??

wellieboot · 04/08/2009 20:29

Congrats LeeWT!!!!

I haven't heard of feeling implantation cramps, but tummy cramps at the beginning are v common - I have had them for about a week and got a bfp yesterday so it could be a positive sign...fingers crossed for you.

Ladylou83 · 04/08/2009 20:30

Never heard that one Nanoo , but still doing a lot of reading myself. Fingers crossed thats what your cramps were.

Any news Jamiejay ?

LeeWT · 04/08/2009 21:02

hi all, nanoo i DEF got implantation cramps on thursday last. thought it was af coming couple days early and they were really quite bad i had to get hot water bottle. turns out they must have been implantation.

got cramps on dd as well and a small bleed.

funny enough didnt have it with the baby i mc..

so the moral of the story is it aint over til its over!!

good luck!!!

JamieJay · 04/08/2009 21:42

Sorry I disappeared, didn't get chance to post first thing!

First off, major congrats LeeWT that's fab news and you're right a line is a line is a line so huge good luck vibes for a sticky bean

Also, congrats chowmein

Well, as promised I tested at a god awful hour this morning and got a [drum roll please] BFN, no hint of a shadow of a +ve line, not even a damn evaporation line! AF still hasn't arrived either.

I seriously thought I'd cry if I got a -ve but to be honest I didn't feel anything but numb. Not going to POAS again this week, can't be doing with it. In a way wish AF would just arrive.

Thankfully had a totally fab day out with friends which distracted me from all things ttc.

TeaFan sorry you're still having oddness in your pants hope it proves to just be an implantation bleed!

Ladylou83 · 04/08/2009 21:49

Sorry about the bfn JamieJay. But really glad u had a good day with ur friends though. Having good friends on these kinda days are a godsend

nanoo · 04/08/2009 22:07

Wow - thanks so much. So it can happen. LeeWT - did the implantation cramps feel just like AF cramps - or slightly different?

(listen to me - desperately symptom spotting!!)

LeeWT · 04/08/2009 23:20

Jamie sorry about your bfn but two things, you are post mc which may lengthen your cycle, it did mine, and it ain't over til the witch gets you- I was getting negative tests on days 28,29 and 30 of ucl 29 and only got halfway decent +ve today which is cd32 or cd33.

I think u were dead right to go off and have a great day and if u can wait couple days before testing again it'll help. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed!

nanoo yes it was diff to af. I usually get cramps on cd1 or 2 and they wouldn't be that painful.. This was strong cramps all day I actually strapped a heatpack to mysf using a belt .. But that's just my experience..

Loads baby dust to everyone (and a little for nervous me!) xxx

JamieJay · 04/08/2009 23:52

LeeWT and LadyLou thanks for your kind words, the fab people on this bus have been lovely.

I think not being pregnant by my birthday really knocked me back. When we started at Christmas I honest to god thought that eight cycle would be enough time to succeed by my 29th (I'm a bit of an over-achiever )

Part of me is thinking I might take a month off if AF gets me to re-set my brain and take some of the pressure off, it's not proving good for our sexlife.

Any-who leeWT, are you feeling excited yet?

bubbalewy · 05/08/2009 00:52

HI EVERYONE, bit of an update from me, iv been reading everyday and so many bfp CONGRATS YOU LOT
My opk went onto 2 bars on day cd7 and is still showing same, im cd 15 now!! usually changes to ov couple days after, so either iv not ov this month or someting is wrong ANYONE out there used a clearblue digital opk and had this?? I did read that its rare but it can mean a BFP but im not thinking that, as im so sure im not WAGHHHHHHHHHHH lol

TeaFan · 05/08/2009 09:37

Cngratulations LeeWT!!! Can't believe how many graduates there are now!

Chin up Nanoo, sounds like there is a chance it could be your month.

Sorry about you BFN JamieJay, I am an overachiever too and have put myself under so much pressure - however, have put DP in charge of things next month

Well, there's no wonder AF was dancing around on my doorstep for a few days - she was just limbering up for the carniage she was about to inflinct, OMG is all i'm going to say Anyway, no more kicker checking for me this month, have taken myself off the list.

Good luck to everyone still on the bus!

Congratulations Hlouisey.

Sorry AF got you TeaFan, good luck for next month, hope DP leading does the trick.

Still no AF for me, really don't want to POAS so ignoring it all, either I am pregnant or I'm not, only time will tell.

I'll pop back to see what people are up to but probably won't be around that much as want to enjoy my other hobbies rather than just ttc!

Good luck everyone

Ladylou83 · 05/08/2009 16:48

I dont mean to be ignorant, but what does POAS mean?

hoops997 · 05/08/2009 17:30

Peeing On A Stick.....ie pregnancy tests!!

liahgen · 05/08/2009 18:42

hi all.

Well tested slightly early today, af due Sunday and not even a shadow so am assuming it's no go for us this month. Just want Af to turn up now so we can get cracking on next month.

Stopped feeding dd 3 weeks, (maybe almost 4) ago so hopefully next one will be a good hormone free cycle and lucky for us.

congrats to all graduates, to all bfn's , guess we'll meet again on the May bus.

Ladylou83 · 05/08/2009 19:16

Ahhhhhhh got ya....Thank you. Shall remember that one

Gingerbics · 05/08/2009 19:42

Well done to all the BFP gradulates, it was a very lucky bus. I'm stepping onto the May bus as no luick this month. Got everthing crossed for next month!

LeeWT · 05/08/2009 20:38

liahgen i was tasting the day before af due and getting nothing and now bfp. there's always a chance but from my experience you kill yourself with poas too often! good luck!
