Well I am dusting down the drivers seat and kick starting the April bus for those the BFP fairy missed on the lucky Mad March bus. Fingers crossed the destination for this one is 'Baby Central'.

lisbapalea i have ceased all drinking mean OH made me just in case

HogwartsIsHome · 05/04/2013 20:11

hello! can I join in? TTC since 18th March when I had implant removed, so not really sure when to expect a BFP but hoping for an April or May :) no nasty AF as yet Grin so I shall decline some wine Sad

padster75 · 05/04/2013 20:07

The BFP Birthday bus for May is now leaving the depot (birthday bus because it's my birthday 1-2 days before the BFP is due ...... I wonder)

Can I just ask what everyone's doing about drinking alcohol when TTC? I have been drinking "normally", which is less than when I was uni, but more than a pregnant person! Prob 1 glass a couple of nights a week, and a few more glasses if we are out for dinner or have friends over.

AF's due next weekend - no symptoms whatsoever so far but just wondering if I should feel guilty for having a couple of glasses in front of TV tonight?

I don't really want to abstain completely as who knows how long this process will take! Just wondered what everyone else is doing!

Fairypants · 05/04/2013 18:37

Hi there, can I join? Just started (hopefully!) final af so will be going for it soon!
Stats are..
Fairypants ttc#3, cycle 1, bfp due 28th April
Good luck all!

littlepinkfizz · 05/04/2013 18:35

gilly I'd probably Dtd every other day fom now until about 10 days before AF due. That should cover things plus a wee rest from Dtd every day Grin

gillywillywoo · 05/04/2013 16:54

(Dry) Cheers to everyone!

How do you ladies get your mInds off TTC?? Movies, work, hobbies? Please give me some ideas because cycle 2 is way too early to be this obsessed.

Hugs to everyone who got a visit from AF this week. Look at it in the bright side, at least you can have a proper glass of wine now!

Zeuxippe · 05/04/2013 16:16

Boo to af bajas. Hurray to drinks though, hope you have a good weekend and lots of fun to take your mind off ttc.

Bajas · 05/04/2013 15:54

Af just arrived so that's me off this bus just in time for a few drinks on weekend away.

Good luck to those still awaiting bfp

Springbells · 05/04/2013 15:38

zeuixeppe thanks for the advice. Was considering it, will have to look into it. Hope the line gets darker Grin

bajas hope you get a positive in a couple of days.

Will check back in near the end of the month, to see how many bfps. Gotta beat march bus! Grin

MrsAVB · 05/04/2013 15:15

gilly and penny - I think, (presuming you like it Smile), just do it lots! And don't stress about when to do it. But then I am not pregnant and never have been. I've heard others - who will hopefully be along to offer more useful advice, say that little swimmers are at their best with a couple of days in between but not sure how true that is. Also don't stop boffing when you think your fertile period is over as I don't think any apps or sticks or thermometers can predict absolutely everything. But then I am very much in the not very helpful laid back school and don't use any of them.
Hi lovewine, great name Smile
Xxx

LoveWine · 05/04/2013 13:30

Hi everyone. Can I join you in the two week wait? I only recently started TTC and I have already become obsessed. I am sitting at work reading through mumsnet posts instead of focusing on my work like I should.

Anyways, here are my stats:

LoveWine ttc#1, cycle 2, bfp due on 11th April

Oh yeah, and I love wine! Smile

Penny31 · 05/04/2013 11:35

How exciting! A positive on opk just now :) DTD tues and last night and will DTD again tonight. Do we need to DTD again tomorrow? Should we just keep going lol?

gillywillywoo · 05/04/2013 11:17

Right! Advice please!

Haven't dtd yet this cycle... Had a very heavy period which lasted a day or so longer than usual and been working nights since!

Anyway.... My phone apps are now telling me I'm fertile!

I reckon I will actually ovulate next wed/thurs so... I want to know how often we should be dtd...? (Will be using OPKs as well and also charting)

Last month we dtd every day during my fertile time and BFN.

Same again this month or should we dtd every other day?

Or maybe every other day til Monday.... And then dtd tues wed and thurs??

Just wondering what other people do...?? Smile

Bajas · 05/04/2013 08:56

zeuxippe v exciting- fingers crossed...

lucieloos · 05/04/2013 08:16

I tested this morning, 12dpo and bfn :( No signs of af at the moment. Going away for a couple of days nowb so will test again Sunday if still no af.

Zeuxippe · 05/04/2013 08:08

sorry springbell that af got you. Agnus castus is supposed to be good for luteal phase I think?

bajas it's not over till af arrives! Fx

I think I have a v faint line but am not going to call it a bfp yet! Will test again next week.

Bajas · 05/04/2013 07:46

springbells I caved and tested this morning. Bfn but still no Af either. Boobs really sore and tense neck and back which are real Af signs for me so holding out no hope.

Springbells · 05/04/2013 06:01

I'm out. 7day luteal phase. Bloody stupid body. Can anyone shed some light on day 21 progesterone tests - do gp's normally do them? Should I be persistent and ask for one? (Last gp I went to see - not my normal one - just said to relax and that 6 days would be fine?!!) as a sensible, educated adult why does it feel like I'm humoured and placated by some gp's?! Minor rant over. Wine Wine

Really hope this month is a successful one for those left xx

CandlestickOlder · 04/04/2013 23:22

Can't see the pic Lyndsey but YAY!!Grin

CandlestickOlder · 04/04/2013 23:20

I ovulate on Saturday (I think) and really need to DTD lots but now I've watching Dogging Tales it's put me off ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

lyndsey90 · 04/04/2013 22:34

I won't watch OBEM it would make me cry too much!!

WanabeMum · 04/04/2013 21:55

Haven't seen it yet springbells, heard about it though Sad
