Welcome aboard ladies.
Please be seated, you may undo your seatbelts as soon as you see the SWI sign light up.

I'll be coming round with cake, biscuits and wine.

Come on girls, we can do it this month.

Heads held high and legs akimbo, off we go.

Hi YaYA! Fingers crossed for you!

YaYaOC · 06/03/2012 14:17

Been lurking on this thread and have decided to take the plunge and actually post. Currently on my first month TTC and AF was due on Sunday, however no show. POAS this morning and got a BFN (trying not to get upset as we've only been at it a month, but still upsetting). Now I'm expecting AF to arrive in full flow laughing at me spending 11euros on a test. (I live in the Alps, and the prices are astronomical).
I have just come off the pill so hoping that my cycles are readjusting, but also that they don't take too long about it!

YaYaOC. TTC#1 Cycle #1 AF due 4/3/12

PandaWatch · 06/03/2012 14:07

Sorry Cherry and Mildred but I have all fingers and toes crossed for you for next cycle x

Eliza! Yay! Congratulations! That's such great news :)

PickledHegg · 06/03/2012 14:01

PMSL @ OBEM...I am desperate for a DC2, then as soon as I watch OBEM on a wednesday, I change my mind for at least an hour!

Aww super congrats again, you must be so excited!

Elizadoesdolittle · 06/03/2012 13:55

Thanks ladies. Yes, let's hope it's the second of many for this thread.

DD has just gone down for a nap so I've put OBEM on. I must be crazy Grin

PickledHegg · 06/03/2012 13:27

Congratulations Eliza so happy for you the 2nd BFP of many hopefully :)

Chunky hope your DD gets better soon

Sorry to hear AF has arrived Cherry and Mildred sending you both lots of luck for your shiny new cycles.

I'm 3dpo and really can't see me getting through the next 11 days without POAS...I need to get a grip!

Chunkychicken · 06/03/2012 13:25

Sorry Cherry & Mildred to hear AF got you.

I was on the pill for a few years, came off because had terrible PMT whatever type I took... anyway, I don't think my cycle has ever been 'regular' since. I had a 25day cycle before I concieved my DD & now can have cycles as short as 26 days or as long as 31. As long as its roughly between 26-35 days, I don't think its considered irregular iyswim (there was a thread on here about it recently...)

All the best for the next cycles ladies.

MildredH · 06/03/2012 11:15

Hi girls,

cherry - sorry to hear your news- exactly the same for me. Arrived this morning 3 days late. Despite the bfn I had really let my hopes get up Sad

Hey ho- glass of wine for us tonight and starting over in 10 days time!

Congrats to those with BFP & good luck to those still waiting.

X

cherrypiew3 · 06/03/2012 10:53

Morning Ladies

After 3 days AF being late and keeping me waiting obsessing, AF showed her ugly face this morning.Sad I am so upset really got my hopes and thought we had done it this month. Not sure what's going on with my cycles anyone any ideas came off the pill end Oct.

Cycle 1 30 days
cycles 2 and 3 29 days
cycle 4 30 days
cycle 5 32 days

I know there is not a lot of difference in them but when I was on the pill cycles were always on time even down to the time of day always 29 days and when not on the pill.

Congratulations ElizaSmile

Chunkychicken · 06/03/2012 10:23

Good luck better -it does seem fairly typical that the more you need to SWI, the less you actually feel like it!!

bettergetamoveon · 06/03/2012 10:19

Congratulations eliza!!!

CD 16 here and no SWI so far. I was so ill yesterday and slept from 1pm through to this morning. DH was away working last week and with a sick son things have got in the way. I didn't ovulate until day 16 last month so fingers crossed we've not missed the boat.

Chunkychicken · 06/03/2012 09:17

Congrats Eliza, fingers crossed you'll have a little sticky bean (although at 2-3wks you have a good chance), will have to update the list later! And add you Candy.

Have a poorly DD so will hopefully be distracted from symptom spotting.

CandyPop · 06/03/2012 08:25

Oohh just saw ur msg eliza!!!! Aaaahhhhh congrats!!!! Xxxxxx

CandyPop · 06/03/2012 08:23

Haha it's so true pipbin
Tiredness (likely from not enough sleep ) = pregnant
Belly ache (likely eating too much ) = pregnant
Mistakes at work (likely cause by obsession with TTC) = pregnant!!!!

I can't update list at the mo as phone won't allow me to copy and paste, will do late tonight. However meanwhile, if anyone is adding theirs and don't mind adding mine. My stats are:

Candypop TTC #1 Cycle 1 AF due 13th March -ish

Have a good day ladies x

Elizadoesdolittle · 06/03/2012 08:05

Good work chunkychicken, I nearly did it last night as I noticed it hadn't been done for a while. But instead I went to bed early for some SWI. Wink

However after the weirdest night with complete insomnia (very unusual for me) and a very crazy dream, I cracked this morning and did a test. And got a .....BFP!!

Did a clear blue digi and it said pregnant 2-3 wks. So looks like I did ov early in my cycle after all and my subsequent opks were telling me I'm pregnant.

My DH has already gone to work though so got to wait for ages to tell him. Going to seem like the longest day in the world. I have told my 2yr old dd though and she has already informed me shed like a baby brother!

Anyway, still very early days so won't be graduating to any other threads yet. If its ok I'll stick around here for a while and watch a load more BFPs come flooding in. Grin

Good luck to you all. I hope this proves to be a lucky flight.

Chunkychicken · 05/03/2012 23:18

I've got a bit OCD and want to make sure the stats are up to date so could you check you're there and update as necessary. Would love to be able to see all the BFPs and 2WW-ers as we go through until the flight arrives at its destination... Grin

Pipbin · 05/03/2012 22:24

I know what you mean Candy, after 20 years on the pill on and off I have no idea what a normal cycle feels like.
And now it's like I'm hyper sensitive to every slight feeling in my body.

Touch of indigestion? Pregnant!
Slightly sore nipple? Pregnant!
Weeing all the time? Pregnant!

cherrypiew3 · 05/03/2012 21:36

Hi Mildredh I am with you on avoiding the toilet all day I have been thinking well if I just don't go then I won't know if AF as arrived or not, silly really like that's going to stop her.

Chunky in my book any pain is a symptomGrin not healthy I know.

Laffy sorry you got a BFN it's driving me mad no knowing.

CandyPop · 05/03/2012 21:03

*sore not sure ....(sorry for spelling mistakes etc. typing this on iphone!)

CandyPop · 05/03/2012 21:01

Ah feels like this plane is going through some turbulance. Hold on tight ladies! Iam positive once we get through this we will see some pretty rainbows in the shape of BFPs!!! (quite positive its not going to me but with such afull flight, surely we will get some right?!)

pandawatch been trying to symptom watch but to be honest .... dont think there is much there! as i mentioned before, i have slightly sure nipples (altho never paid attention to them before so maybe there were/are always like this?!) and today i have slight stomach cramps ....but AF due next tuesday so not sure if its just period cramps! (i've been on the pill for 10 years! and only came off it last Novemnber..... so i have no idea how soon 'natural period' cramp comes as i use to never really get any until maybe the day before when i was on the pill Confused )

mildredh you made me giggle! #231...if that was true i think we will all be worshipping you right now!! hehe

looking at FMC calender what day is it?! oh bugger only CD23....... i am quite sure 2WW days are way longer than normal days. huff

I must must resist not testing until AD is overdue.... aim is to be 5 days overdue before i test!!! Can i do it??? eeekkkkkk

Pipbin · 05/03/2012 20:05

I'm sure I was having OV pains today but it's a week early and I've had no EWCM.
So I did an OPK just to check and there was a dark line, although not dark enough to be a +itve. Normally I have no line at all.

Here are my charts: www.fertilityfriend.com/home/pipbin

Chunkychicken · 05/03/2012 19:20

Hey Missuswife & Mildred welcome onboard!!

I'm also after the post-MC (although a v early one, so not side it counts...) fertility boost & keeping fingers, toes, everything but legs crossed for a BFP & a sticky bean, but not that hopeful as not sure we DTD sufficiently.Hmm

Laffy & Cherry- I think your body does it deliberately just to spite you whdn you're TTC!! Confused

Does anyone know if a really sharp, stitch-like pain on your right side is a symptom or just a pain??!! It's too high up to be ovulation or ovary related (& fairly sure I ovulated a week ago) & its not my appendix as I had that out in October...

MildredH · 05/03/2012 18:53

Should be TTC number 1 - not 231!!

MildredH · 05/03/2012 18:52

Hello ladies,

Very late to the party here but looking to regain some sanity..

TTC %231 after a MMC in Dec. AF due yesterday. BFN Sat ( couldn't resist!) and another today but still no sign.

Feeling fairly grumpy ( AF could well be en-route).. Reluctant to go to the loo for fear that my friend will arrive.. Ridiculous I know.

I've bought the more expensive tests- they'd probably show BFP by now wouldn't they?

X

Laffytaffyx · 05/03/2012 18:45

Argghh BFN this morning - worked out AF should have come yesterday rather than Saturday so - its not all bad...yet. I feel you Cherry pie.

missuswife - stay positive :) (should really take my own advice)

Started symptom spotting - weird metallic taste in my mouth or M & S rubbishy Singapore noodles? hmmm,
