OK I have just worked out that if my next cycle is the same length as this one was then I will actually be due 1st October if I get pg so rather than sitting at the back of the September bus I thought I might skip straight ahead to the next one lol.

Plenty of chocolate and biscuits ready for the journey

Hi all,feeling really rough today,sooo tired and like im gonna throw up.Think i have middle dds bug
It really does not make me feel like making babies but i only have this month before dh is off for nearly 4months.
Sorry to all those with AF stirrings, but if its any consolation i have always felt like AF is coming when up the duff.

nymphadora · 22/01/2010 15:01

Hi new people and sorry to see you go addicted

I have been up since half two this am and am v tired and emotional. Just been to look for dh parents graves & came across a whole section of childrens graves which totally finished me off going to hotel now hoping for some sleep

BUnderTheBonnet · 22/01/2010 15:23

Good luck everyone who's coming up to testing!

Arr legallyblond, Af is still with me I am keeping my fingers crossed. I'm going hi-tech this month and have splashed out on a clear blue Fertility monitor. I have to get a bfp this montho will have to leave it 2 months so I don't hit November with 2 birthdays and December with 1 b-day and xmas. Knowing my luck it with be either of those 2 months. When are you testing. Thanks for helping not test at least I didn't waste a test the other day.

QueenFee · 22/01/2010 19:58

ok I gave in and tested last night and got a BFN .
I am going to test again tomorrow and if it is still negative I will move to the back of the bus.
Something tells me I am in for a long journey!

kawaiiko · 22/01/2010 20:33

Queenfee, sorry to hear about your bfn. Fx for tomorrow!

Legally...don't you dare hop on the October bus yet! Wait till you test first - tomorrow? Fx for you, too.

stuffedmk - I'm starting temping and using ov sticks this month, too...realised I have no bloomin' idea when I ov! Are you using Fertility Friend? I keep reading how good everyone is and I think I might be a bit thick

digitalgirl · 22/01/2010 20:57

Boo to BFNs qf

Boo to AF addicted

strange symptoms here. Feel very much as though af is due but am sure it should be a longer cycle this time. And loads of cm. And cp is still high and soft (tmi for those who know what cp is). So either am still about to ovulate or...

I don't want to get my hopes up. But I've got my hopes up.

LadyBee · 22/01/2010 22:03

digitalgirl - go on get those hopes up. Honestly, I don't think that trying to keep them down helps it hurt less when I'm disappointed. I'm still disappointed and just annoy myself trying to fool myself I'm not hoping. I'm going for full throw myself into all the hopes and tears this month

Speaking of hopes, Legally, you have serious self-control not to have tested. You're late. aren't you? go on, test.

and SmallBlackFlowers, spotting and a small bleed at around 10dpo? I reckon that's a fairly good sign. Just putting it out there.

I am 'Mrs Positivity' today - I reckon we've done ok with the SWI, vaguely feel like I ovulated yesterday, will see whether there's still any EWCM tomorrow and give it one more shot if so. Am intrigued to know when AF will show up this month as this ov is a couple of days later than predicted based on previous cycles. I just want to know whether my 'I think I just ovulated' feeling was correct and am assuming my cycle will be a couple of days longer than average this month if so.

So...2 week wait. Who's got a really great book, I'm going to need some distraction.

shelleee · 22/01/2010 22:50

hi all , just to say i have booked my wedding this week its for may 2nd this year so now i am bound to get pregnant ,,, haha

I just got strangely excited when changing my cd to 20. Its getting really close now, especially since I usually get brown spotting for a couple of days before AF starts. Eeek!

decafgirl · 23/01/2010 08:51

Morning all, really looking forward to this time next week so I know either way. Have resisted the urge to POAS so far but think I'm aiming for Friday 29th - if my temp doesn't drop that morning I'll test. I've still been feeling sick on and off most days, had a headache for about 3 days and my boobs are just weird. All positive signs but I'm probably looking too much into things! Can't believe my hyperchondria extends to pregnancy too!

Hope you're all well xxx

digitalgirl · 23/01/2010 11:39

How exciting shelleee have you found a dress yet or are you waiting to see if you'll need a maternity one?

decafgirl snap on hoping next weekend will tell me either way.

Am definitely feeling my period is due so looks like another short cycle for me. Last one was 23days, but am thinking this one should be at least 25. So should start spotting tomorrow or Monday if my calculations are right. Let's hope not.

smallblackflowers · 23/01/2010 13:18

BFN for me this morning, AF due yesterday but not here although still spotting....only 11 dpo, so will likely test again each day till AF shows her face or I get a BFP.

LadyBee · 23/01/2010 13:35

oohh, lovely shelleee, I love weddings. I had mine last October and it was a wonderful day.

smallblackflowers, chin up, if the spotting was implantation yesterday it might take a little while for those hCG levels to rise high enough. Fingers X for you.

Lorelai · 23/01/2010 16:07

What do implantation pains feel like? Felt a bit of a twinge this afternoon (not painful, wouldn't have thought anything of it if I wasn't symptom spotting like mad!), and think I am about 9 dpo, which I think is about right.

Oh, I am going to be sooooo disappointed when AF arrives aren't I?

TeaFan · 23/01/2010 16:57

Hi all, can I join please?

TeaFan TTC#1 Cycle 6 UCL 29 CD24

I have been on these threads before but we stopped TTC in the Autumn as had some major renovations to do and I just about drove myself insane and needed a break.

Was doing fine with the old 'staying calm' thing this cycle but at 9DPO the 2ww well and truly has me in it's grips now

Could be BFP/could be AF symptoms so far...

Boobs feel tender & tingly nipples
Feel a bit sick and only feel like eating shortbread
Intermittent AF pains last night and today - can I join you in implantation hopes Lorelai?

Lorelai · 23/01/2010 17:02

Oooh, I think you are doing a bit better than me on symptoms - I have no boob symptoms at all (I do wonder though, would I get those kind of symptoms as I am still bf?)

Lol, i'm not sure 'better' is necessarily the right word, maybe 'more neurotic' would cover it!?!?

I do normally get tender boobs and I possibly feel sick because of the shortbread . Is really a bit too early for cramps though . I could say i'm trying not to get my hopes up but that would suggest that I thought I had some hope of managing not to this time

decafgirl · 23/01/2010 19:50

TeaFan LOL at only wanting to eat shortbread...think I have that symptom too! xx

Totallyfloaty35 · 23/01/2010 19:52

DD1 who has same cycle as me just told me i got my period on the 8th jan,so if thats correct im all messed up with my ovulation date now just hope i havent missed it.My first sign of being pregnant is usually the clasp on my bra snapping due to sudden size increase,so im praying for my bra to burst in the next 10days.

Welcome LunaticFringe - I believe the TTC # is which DC this would be rather than pg, but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Can someone tell me what an implantation bleed is like (not sure if I had one last time, honestly I am such a newbie at this!!). I have just had a brown discharge when I went to the loo (TMI I know, sorry!!) - I normally get some brown spotting/discharge for a couple of days before AF, but I am not due till Thursday, so wouldn't expect this until Monday at the absolute earliest, more likely Tuesday. Could this be an implantation bleed? Or would that be bright red blood?
