Little, horrible isn't it?! People keep telling me I must make sure dd isn't an only (complicated back story but my DM passed away when we were teens so having siblings was important). Might throw something at next person who suggests I hurry along!

weechops · 22/09/2012 19:04

taking I had my fingers crossed for you that you would get that smiley before your dh went to work. It's rotten when you really need them at home and they're not! Reeeaaaaalllllyyyy want it to be our month!

TakingTheStairs · 22/09/2012 15:27

taking I think AF comes 14 after you ovulate so prob best to wait til then...then again it's hard to resist poas! Fx

LittleMissSnowShine · 22/09/2012 14:01

Hi mrsaflowerpot - feeling a bit the same as you, ds is 2 and i had mmc followed by erpc at the end of july. Everyone at the mum&toddler groups and a couple of friends are pg with no.2. I think i just sort of got on with things in August but I'm finding this month quite tough...fx for us in October!!

Because of weird wtf cyclw.not really sure what CD im on but dtd eod and more if we can manage it this cycle and we're doing well so far!!

JellyCurls · 22/09/2012 13:07

I am 3 days into my wait and am trying so hard not to imagine symptoms. Excited and nervous after last months disapointment

TakingTheStairs · 22/09/2012 12:37

Thanks jellycurls. I'll try my best to wait two weeks then. Waaahh exciting!

JellyCurls · 22/09/2012 12:26

Afternoon TAKING, no expert but i remember reading once that your luteal phase averages 10 to 14 days so prob not POAS before two weeks, if you have good will power. Fx for your BFP in October x

TakingTheStairs · 22/09/2012 12:18

Thanks weechops!! He's away for work from Monday am too, so like you I was very glad of the timely smiley face.

Oh and I saw a packet of Tablet in waitrose during the week and thought of you.. In my head I immediately thought "ah that's what weechops meant".

And I second MrsAFlowerpot, put those boxes down smilesandwaves and concentrate on more important things!

Question for the wise ones - I'm on cd18 and got my opk smiley face today (as I announced to the world earlier on this thread! Blush ). It's cycle 1 after coming off the pill so I don't know what my cycle length is. When should I be poas? Two weeks from now? Based on a 28 day cycle I would have poas on Oct 2nd but I've ovulated later than I would thought I would, so do I move my hopeful BFP date?
Does that even make sense!?

weechops · 22/09/2012 12:05

Oooh taking grab that man! Fx

MrsAFlowerpot · 22/09/2012 10:49

Packing-schmaking. DTD all the way!

wavesandsmiles · 22/09/2012 10:34

Only 8 days left in September now! Fx for everyone as we approach October.... Quite amazed that DH and I have been managing to DTD at all given we are moving house on 9 October. (Although we are WAY behind on the packing)

littlepinkfizz · 22/09/2012 09:57

Cd 9 today. Only faint line on the opk but wil be Dtd anyway I hope! Fx for all us travellers! x

TakingTheStairs · 22/09/2012 09:41

Hi MrsAFlowerpot welcome to the bus

I'm so sorry about your miscarriages, lots of positive energy on this bus so we're all hopeful you'll get your BFP this month.

MrsAFlowerpot · 22/09/2012 09:30

Can I join? Just trying to clamp down on bitter disappointment following arrival of late AF yesterday when I was so sure I was pg. So wanted the gap between dd (3) and next baby (if there is one given how low I'm currently feeling!) to not be too huge. Mc'd cycle 3 and 6.

Cycle 10, BFP due 27 Oct (hope, hope, hope!)

TakingTheStairs · 22/09/2012 09:24

Smiley face on opk! Whoop!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Shiney I am with Knickerbocker as long as you don't go mad you will be fine! I spent the first 3 weeks of my pg drinking (I didn't find out until I was 8 weeks gone) and luckily dd is fine!! Although she does have a taste for red wine at 3 so maybe that was my fault! oops!

Hi all the new ladies

Fingers crossed we all get our bfp this month! Grin

blargl · 21/09/2012 16:20

Hi ladies, can I join in too? Just migrated from September thread. Cycle 2, bfp due 24 October. Hopefully it'll be lots of bfps next month!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 21/09/2012 11:51

Just drink in moderation, you'll be fine. :-)

shineypeacock · 21/09/2012 10:42

Ladies, i need some advice, whats the consensus about drinking during the 2ww?

My dilema is that i have a friends 40th next friday and it is at a pub so will be able to get away with lime and soda - minus the voddy, but a few of us are meeting for pre drinks at hers so am expecting wine, fizz etc! Cant get away with anti biotics, feeling unwell or anything like that as they will suspect i might be pg!

Also if im not pg, i will have not had a drink on a night when i really feel i should celebrate, friend has had a very tough year!

What to do - AF is due 3rd Oct - so probably too early to test that morning anyway and if I do test and it is positive, dont want people to know this early!!

Thanks for the advice xx

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 21/09/2012 07:15

Fx for you, Little Miss.

LittleMissSnowShine · 21/09/2012 07:04

Hi ladies going to optimistically jump on your bus if that's ok? Im in wtf cycle 2 post-mc, my last af was really, really light so I wasnt even sure it had def arrived but Dr Google seems to think yes so i guess im in a nice shiny new cycle. Anyway even tho this is still a completely wtf???? cycle im hoping for a bfp around 14th Oct and im ttc no. 2.

Roughly CD10 for me today - tea & folic acid anyone??

FrustratedSycamorePants · 20/09/2012 21:04

Late to the party (as usual)

CD1 was the 6/7th Sept - AF or BFP due Oct 1st/2nd

DTD CD9, CD11, CD12

Missed CD13 due to opting to EOD but then missed CD14 as I had my head down the toilet with sickness bug Envy, DH is working late tonight and won't be home until toddler invariably wakes up so no DTD tonight CD15 and so tomorrow CD16 will probably be too late.

Although I did OV later in my cycle last month - +OPK at CD15 and CD16
