CursiveLetters – can you let me know your stats? It tends to be TTC # (first baby, second baby etc) Cycle # (how many cycles have you been trying) and BFP due… (sorry if that sounded patronising. Wasn’t sure how long you have been on the boards Smile)

Hope for a flood of bfps shortly!! X

Checking in. Officially off but going to lurk.
WRT diet and exercise - I'm continuing as normal until I get my BFP. After 5 months and a mc I've learnt life can't be put on hold, we don't know how long our journey will be and I want to at least enjoy that time. When I do get my sticky bean, coffee, alcohol, pate and stinky cheese as well as sit ups will be gone. I'll enjoy until then.

Really ought to put my phone down and stop googling early pregnancy symptoms and get some sleep. Anyone else testing in the morning??

Just checking in on the shiny new bus, cheers Kitty. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be out in next few days due to an unpromising few days of low temps. I do feel a bit queasy today but more likely due to the cheeky 2 glasses of wine I had last night.

I'm officially a 'March hopeful' but I'll lurk on this bus (ill camp out near the back, out of the way) 'cos I want to see all of those BFPs that are due! There's so many...fx you all get them!!!

Hi. My stats were missed but I dont have high hopes anyway (toots123 ttc #1 cycle 2 af was due on 16th feb, yes im 3 days late!!!)

Not going to be on here much. Will test on Friday if no af and if no bfp then im deff out. Had what I thought was IB on Thursday and Friday but questioning myself now!
Dh has hid my tests from me at my request too haha

Hopping on board.

I'm on cd 25 today and cycles are usually 31 - 41 days so we are going to carry on doing SMEP for a few more days in case it's another long cycle.

I started using opks but then was away with work and forgot to pack any so we have just been dtd every other day since AF finished, I have one very happy DH Grin

Good luck to the remaining passengers

Owlie84 · 19/02/2014 07:00

Thanks for the new board Kitty!
I was going to poas this morning, but I bottled it. No symptoms really except imaginary ones so I may test on Fri - AF due 22nd, so should know either way on Fri :)
Good luck everyone!

Morning ladies. 11dpo and another bfn. Temp hasn't risen back up so I am pretty sure AF will arrive on Fri.

Thanks kitty. I poas today...bullied into it by DH, got a bfn but its only 9dpo so will test again when back from hols if af doesn't hide in my suitcase!

Morning everyone,
I was on this bus at the beginning, been reading and keeping up with everybody. Congrats to all the BFPs, commiserations to all AF got and FX limbo is over quickly for everyone else.
CD 31 here. Last cycle was 41 days but 1st one after BF (currently DS 1 is 7 month). No idea how long this cycle will be but just going off last one should have OV'd last Thursday. Did OPK's until I ran out on sat but didn't get a positive, only once a day though so maybe missed it? Anyway only DTD twice last week/weekend so probably no chance this month but still hopeful.

Morning all! I'll update the stats prompto-Sorry English must have been my mistake of trying to put a star after your name to embolden it and toots - you'll be added! (much rather be a lady what lunches Wink)

Today is the last day of ignorant bliss until I start fearing the dreaded AF and technically could start POAS. Had my first vivid BFP dream that some people seem to have. It seemed so real that actually felt quite sad upon waking up!!!

WineandChoccy -I had that plan this month-kept DTD up until CD26 in case of a slow releasing egg etc. hope at means we have both covered all bases!!!

Today I will be having my belated birthday present from DH-going to a fancy restaurant and then seeing Thriller in the West End. I know I should relax and enjoy myself with a drink or two, but then that little voice pops up and says what if???? Think I might go for some virigin cocktails in pretend!!

Reading about so many of you getting post ov cramping.

I had mild cramping in my lower abdomen from around 9dpo. I got a feint bfp at 11dpo. The cramping continued until I was 5+6.

My other pre bfp symptoms were

swollen lymph node under left armpit from ov onwards
sore fire boobs from around cd11 until cd 13/14
Super human sense of smell from around 10dpo

impatienceisavirtue · 19/02/2014 08:39

11dpo so I know technically I'm still in the game but bfn again this morning was crushing. I don't understand. My other dcs were all (much loved!) results of contraceptive failure. Everyone used to joke about not standing too close to me in case I got pg as that seemed to be all it took. Now DH and I are trying... Nada.

DH has his, er, product testing this morning. Cheering myself up with childish lewd puns all morning at least :D

Hi all, marking so I can continue to lurk!

Toots sorry that would be my fault - i think when I was reading through you must have said in one post you were out, but obviously you're not! It must have been spotting that I missed - sorry!!

Littlemiss - personally I would say just don't worry about anything until you actually see a line and get a bfp. We all test SO early on here, you know from the first moment before the embryo has a chance to connect up to you so you won't pass on anything, good or bad really until about 5/6 weeks. Don't stress, I'm glad I didn't put my life on hold for 14 months I think I would have gone mad! Be careful of course with excess of anything...but make sure you enjoy the things you like!

Kitty superb work on the list update...and BOLD too, very fancy, you deserve a Brew!!

All those with cramping, my 10 pence worth is I had no symptoms, still don't now except slightly bigger boobs (and I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow!) but I did have the weirdest sensation of a pulling feeling behind my belly button 9dpo.... incase that helps. I know I obsessed over everyone elses symptoms/signs!! Good luck ladies!

Report
MrsExtraOrdinary · 19/02/2014 09:33

So driving back from taking ds to college, 2 he's driving, doubled up cramping, thought af had come while driving! Oh wonderful, but no my gapey fanjo had swallowed the bath water, not af at all!

Just did a test as would really like some painkillers to see me through today. Everything hurts. Bfn, as I knew anyway. Not upset, just inevitable really until my hormones settle which they will in a few months.

The longer af takes to show the worse pain I'll be in. Blinking endo. It would almost be a relief if af came now as I kind then in z few days I'd feel like a human as opposed to a neurotic bitch riddled with pmt.

Morning ladies!!!! Just read back and LOVE that some of you are poas from 6dpo!!!! Haha! Makes me feel slightly more "normal".

There's a lot of symptom spotting going on as well! Hoping they result in bfp's for you all. Sorry to hear of the bfn's! Hope it's just too early to detect!

No news here.....didnt manage the last dtd for luck last night....i was exhausted but can usually be persuaded by DH, however he had an awful day yesterday and was also feeling very tired/stressed so we give it a miss! Think we caught ovulation anyway....last night was just gona be for luck but there should be masses of sperm hanging around for that egg so hoping it won't be a problem!

Have a good day everyone! Will check in later to hopefully see the next bfp!!!!!

Yep, fab work on the list kitty, much appreciated! And thank you for the good luck - package has been delivered, tis a waiting game now! Apparently it can take up to 14 days for results. Boo hiss.

MrsExtraOrdinary - been there haha! Glad it's not AF. And thank goodness for the internet - I bet there are many of us that felt a lot better when we discovered that the bath thing was not just us!

And yes, we're slightly unhinged starting testing at DPO.

Extra points if, like me, you do an opk and a HPT from that point just to, you know, cover all bases Grin
