Easter bunnies and chocolate eggs! Jump aboard for the ladies hoping the Easter Bunny will bring a very special egg.

Lime I am so excited and pleased for you& how brilliant and positive to get a bfp! I hope you'll be sticking around for a bit as I imagine you'll be a big miss if you dash off. Truly lovely news to end bank holiday weekend though. When is you estimated due date?

No exciting news here except 1 day past ov and know idea when to test due to cycle length. I think the last date af could be due is 17 and earliest is 11. I think I may test on 13 which makes it 9 days past ov plus they say it's lucky for some! If I can hold out longer I will but don't want to be stressing each time I go to the toilet, I'd rather be put out of my misery earlier as I find that bit really stressful.

Through the internet mist the echo reverberates, and I have been racing home from my weekend away...

I took my mooncup with me, and two internet cheapies, in case I felt the urge to POAS. Saturday, 11dpo, day of the party, I wanted to find out whether I could drink... so POAS and BFN.

This morning, just as we were about to leave, I POAS again, and there was a faint line. DH declared this inconclusive and has been in denial all the way home. We got back about half an hour ago, did a superdrug test, and even he agrees, we have a BFP!

I have loads of catching up to do with all your news now. I just spotted that Spring you are still pregnant which is wonderful news.

Shouts into the internet mist

"LIME!!!!!!!"

Thankyou wiggy and pipbin for your knowledge i find it all so entirely confusuing weeing all over the sticks and not really knowing how to read them or my cycle! Maybe this is my issue. staring reflex on saturday! Yes purple you must hang around.
Also i know that jealousy feeling well !! stupidly my best friend and i started ttc at same time i am now the proud godparent of her newly born daughter so there are silver linings sometimes xxx

I'm driving myself symptom spotting already! It's going to be a long week!
I do have sore boobs but I get those before AF is due.
I can't help analysing every symptom or lack of.

dilly yes that's my method. Doesn't mean I am not batshit crazy. But it's a method.

Stop stop stop. Dpo 8! you know who you are.

I'm 6dpo and am not buying any tests until AF is late, well that's the plan! If I have no tests I can't cave in and test early :)

Hi everyone!

I'm not keen on the Archers (shudder) but the story sounds very funny! My aunt tells me I'm too young to listen to Radio 4 in any event (I'm 34, so that is a bit weird)

Sorry to hear you are out Purple and fingers crossed for LimeLeaf...

Anyone else ever caved and POAS at 8 DPO? I think I might...there is a free stash of HPTs at my work which I keep raiding, people must wonder where on earth they all go

Yes you are right crazy we are waiting for lime back from her long weekend. I would have been testing with her, but I'm out. meh. No surprise but it's a long road for some. Hoping for good news from lime. x

Howdie ladies, you've been busy on this thread!

Just dipping in to say hi and will post again when I've caught up properly.

Think limeleaf is due today / tomorrow

And yep, I've turned into quite a jealous person too at the Facebook pregnancy announcements etc and I'm not normally like this. Glad it's not just me!

Unpacking and washing to do now, urghh.

Morning all,

Not feeling jubilant at all today... On Cd3 of cycle 9 now, gutted that AF arrived as I had convinced myself not for the first time that this was our month. Oh well. On the upside my cycle phases were 18days and 17 days where they had previously been 22 days and 10 days so I'm happy about that. Think I will invest in raspberry leaf tea though, I'm taking everything else going!

pip we had two pregnancy announcements as well and a 12 week scan on Facebook. I repeated the mantra 'you will 'like' the scan photo, you will 'like' the scan photo' ad infinitim. I don't know when I became this horrible jealous person!

Re the drinking, I gave up for 6 weeks and didn't get pregnant so I'm back on the bandwagon although I'm trying not to overindulge too much.

Ps- managed to dtd last night so really have done all we can this month. Now just time to cross fingers/toes etc & settle in for the seemingly never ending 2/3 ww. Who is next to test, if memory serves somebody was testing around the 5/6th.

Hellokitty- there are others on here who know a lot more than me but from what I can gather, most try to dtd every other day from when they get a faint line& every day when they get a line as dark as/ darker than control line. Your cycle sounds like mine, I use a cbfm& got 3 bars (same as a dark positive on opk) on day 18-19& went down again today, so I think I ovulated day 19 as on instructions it says it gives 3 bars day before&day of ovulation. Was surprised it was this early as last cycle was 36 days so I assumed I ovulated later.

any ideas?
have used internet cheap ovulation sticks and since friday poitive faint lines now gradually got darker and today dark? so when do i ovualate? if its today thats day 19 in cycle which means a very short luteal phase?! ARRRGGGGHHHHH! stressed.com#
enough of me hope you are all well and we getsome lovely juicy BFP's here soon. I am catching up daily silently xx

Pipbin- defo had them but not in a long time. Used to get them more when I was single& hadn't dtd in a while.

I'm wanting to head to bed to dtd now but not at all in the mood&bit worried as he could (tmi warning) get it up but couldn't produce the required goods. He didn't seem that bothered& said it was just cos we'd dtd twice day before. I'm sure it'll be fine but still a little night all.

Raspberry leaf, I remember I drank that loads at the end of pregnancy with ds but I can't even remember what for now! I remember that I used to take arnica too, I think that was for pain relief after but it seems like a life time ago now so my memory is a bit hazy. Did you just get these things from holland&barrett?

Squirrel- I'm glad it's not just me who has a jar! The things we do eh?

squirrel i read that babies do not share the mother's blood supply until they have a placenta so a few drinks shouldn't hurt?

Haha about the nuclear stockpiling!

I have about

• 30 internet cheapy OPKs
• 10 internet cheapy HPTs
• 1 random digi HPT someone gave me - expires this month so hope this is the month!
• various jars to wee in
• digital thermometer and about 10 spare batteries!
• a dodgy looking half tube of pre-seed

Wiggy I have just researched supplements for low estrogen, but have ben reading a book called the 'Wise Woman for the Childbearing Year' which recommends that all women who are TTC drink raspberry leaf tea and nettle tea, so I have added that to the arsenal. Evening Primrose Oil is said to be good for producing EWCM. I am also eating Nigerian Yams...

Jam jar, not jar jar.
