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'.

Hey everyone! Congratulations penny!!

purple I know exactly what you mean, I feel pregnant too but not sure if its my body not being back to normal yet after coil removal. Who knows?

Still no AF though so fx! Smile

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 17:44

Good luck bikey86 I'm 2 days late but no BFP, I def feel pg tho, not like other months when it was wishful thinking and af was bang on time..!

Bikey86 · 18/04/2013 17:01

Hello all, no af this morning (usually like clockwork) so i poas and bfn?? Felt really dizzy today too. Also I seem to have more cm than usual...suppose I will wait and see if AF shows up, or not as the case may be.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 15:00

penny have tried with cb digi, frer and super drug early one. I refuse to test again till sat if no af! With ds I was already a week late so didn't go through any of this Blush

Penny31 · 18/04/2013 14:51

Wards I don't think you can DTD too much:) sounds like you have times it just right!

All those in limbo, are you using Internet cheapie tests? I as and got the teensiest hint of a line that could easily be missed if I wasn't squinting and focussing really hard! I used a more expensive CB test and hey presto! BFP! Might be worth investing in for peace of mind either way?

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 13:24

wardy17 we have dtd every other day this cycle from cd4. Talk about a sex fest Wink prior cycles we dtd 2-3 a week but not necessarily every other day, or at the right time. BF only moved in properly in Feb tho so it's been hard to time it right!

Wardy17 · 18/04/2013 13:08

Hey everyone, huge congrats Pennt really happy for you xx

I got my +OPK on Tuesday and I've dtd last Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and this morning, do you ladies think I'm dtd enough or too much? Do I need to continue dtd every day?

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 12:48

Boho

No, don't know any any books, sorry. My son was eight when I split with my husband and got with my boyfriend. They just developed their own relationship at their own pace alongside ours and we took it slowly ie BF didnt stay over for a couple of months when ds was there. Now they have a fab relationship (thankfully) although ds does wind bf up till he snaps sometimes! That's only really happened since we started living together full time in Feb, before then he was away 3-4 nights per week due to his job. My ex marries his fiancé next month so he'll have a formal step mum alongside our less formal arrangement.

Can I add mouth ulcers to my list of symptoms now please? I never ever get them but have two at the moment and they are very annoying, not painful but keep catching on my teeth when I eat Shock still no af and no BFP... Wish I knew one way or the other as I want to move on for next month or get excited! Being in limbo past the TWW is stamps feet NO FAIR .

BohoZenMummy · 18/04/2013 12:18

My new partner doesn't have kids of his own either. Do you know of any good books for kids about gaining a step-parent? She gets on with him but can be quite horrible to him at times and I wonder if this is just her way of processing it all. She is excited about the prospect of #2 though!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 11:37

Boho yeah same here but Bf does not have kids of his own and will make an excellent dad... I hope anyway once the sleep deprivation kicks in!! I'm in West Yorks Grin

BohoZenMummy · 18/04/2013 11:21

Purple - Yes I look at mums with new babies and think gosh can I really go through all that again! Esp when DD is acting up! Bedtimes are still an issue, am hoping she will grow out of the evening faffing by the time #2 comes along.

Where are we all? I'm in North London.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 11:03

BohoZenMummy I am worried about a large gap too, if I am pg this month then it will be nearly an 11 year age gap...! I'm also wondering if I am completely bonkers wanting to do it all again when ds is totally independent and I have got my weekend lie ins back again!!! Good luck with the wedding Smile

BohoZenMummy · 18/04/2013 10:59

Fingers crossed for you purple! We are in a similar situation, I'm with a new partner (of almost 5yrs), DD is with horrid ex. Getting married next month Grin Am a bit worried about the big age gap between kids but that's another thread. ..

Mullin1982 · 18/04/2013 10:59

Hi everyone...

I think I need some advice here if you kind ladies don't mind...today I am CD37 and 16DPO after coming off the pill in September last year my cycles have been all over the shop, according to my 'fertility friend' AF is due today, yet yesterday and this morning I have had brown sticky CM, a lot more today than yesterday, although its now 11am and it's vanished again, as it did yesterday... And still no sign of AF, I have been having some very very light cramps but nothing to complain about and tender boobs around the armpit area..I did a test this morning and got bfn?! I'm so confused?! Any ideas/advice would be most welcome :) thank you x

TobyLerone · 18/04/2013 10:51

Hi Boho

Sounds hopeful, purple!

PurpleGeekyGirl · 18/04/2013 10:48

wooohoo! Well done Penny Smile

Thanks for the replies re my situation too... 2-3 days late now and still no sign of AF, even after a poo (sorry!!!!!!!). Feeling very queasy and hungry but not hungry iyswim, plus no usual PMS symptoms too. Didn't test this morning and will try and hold out till Sat am when BF returns home, unless I cave tomorrow morning! Am hopeful tho as never got this far before without her rearing her ugly head.

For the list my details are:
Purplegeekygirl ttc#2 (#1 with new partner! Have 10 yr old DS with ex), cycle 7, bfp due 16th April

BohoZenMummy · 18/04/2013 10:41

Ps my BFP will be due around 23rd April, fingers crossed!

BohoZenMummy · 18/04/2013 10:38

Hi! Can I join the bus!? I'm trying for number 2, number 1 is 7yrs old now. This is the first month of trying, although I feel a bit pre-menstrual so not seeming very likely this month Sad. Encouraged by the good news around here!

TobyLerone · 18/04/2013 10:26

Well done, Penny! :o

MrsAVB · 18/04/2013 08:32
