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'.

Yay penny! Congratulations!!! I can stop refreshing this page so often now...but was so excited waiting for your news!!

gillywillywoo · 18/04/2013 07:44

Such lovely news Smile!! X

Not sure about me this month! Temp is still low and now cd25!
My temp rose on cd20 last month so I'm already 5 days out of sync. Hoping its just a weird longer cycle.
Dtd twice yesterday lol... DH is knackered Grin

Thanks gilly! I really hope it happens for you this month too. I feel so sick with shock! :)

gillywillywoo · 18/04/2013 07:34

Penny OMG!!! Congratulations!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh so happy for you!!!! SmileThanksXx

Penny31 · 18/04/2013 07:24

Omg guys! BFP!!!!! Using a CB you get a cross if its positive, the second line of the cross is more feint than the control line but it's definitely there! Eeeeek!

Penny31 · 17/04/2013 22:21

Gilly actually that happened to me last month! I ovd late and AF was way later than its ever been. I got concerned about my LP too but it was all ok :) I totally DTD at the wrong time, I wasn't using opk's then. This month I ovulated on cd12 so went back to normal

gillywillywoo · 17/04/2013 22:12

That's what I'm hoping for Smile x

Pixie001 · 17/04/2013 22:02

gilly not entirely sure i have to admit but i'm going with delayed AF as that means normal luteal phase and max opportunity for bean to settle in Smile

Pixie001 · 17/04/2013 21:59

hope not wanabe they do say pg symptoms feel same as af not that i've been lucky enuf to know! so dont give up just yet

have been busy doing a little spreadsheet this eve to identify ov days and DTD dates over last few mths. i'm sure no one else goes to these crazy lengths but i'm prob gonna go Dr soon so i want to prove we've really been trying so they take me seriously! yes, i'm a little psychotic with delayed ov this mth i think i have a week to wait to find out whether this month has been the one......HURRY UP!!!

gillywillywoo · 17/04/2013 21:58

Hey pixie Smile
Temps are still low however I had way I think was a positive OPK yesterday and today and also some EWCM today sooooooo.... Looks like late ov this month (cd24 today) however better late than never...

Not sure if that means AF is still due on 24th or whether late ov will mean AF is due later as well? Hope so cos otherwise it will mean my luteal phase is very short. Hmmm.

Hoping temps rise soon to confirm that I've ovulated yesterday/today.... Will know soon enough!

WanabeMum · 17/04/2013 21:37

Lets hope so! Feeling very tender for the last few hours I'm starting to wonder if AF will show her ugly head soon Sad
This is so frustrating!

Pixie001 · 17/04/2013 21:36

hi again purple and welcome newbie passengers
penny gooooood luuuuuuuuuuck for the mornign!
candlestick how are you getting on?
wanabe hope you get the right result with fmugilly hope your temps are doing their thing and you're finally post ov?! think i may do temps next month. dh finds it hard to keep going so i dont want to push my luck with him so it'd be useful knowing when we can stop ease off.

Penny31 · 17/04/2013 21:18

Definitely try with fmu! Fx crossed for you

gillywillywoo · 17/04/2013 20:56

Wanabemum that sounds promisingl! Keep us updated Smile

Penny do more tests and let us know! SmileX

gillywillywoo · 17/04/2013 20:51

Hi purple! Welcome aboard! Smile
What are your stats? I'll put you on the list! X

WanabeMum · 17/04/2013 20:42

Been using Internet cheapies but not with fmu. Will try again with fmu and if nothing by the weekend may invest in clearblue!

Penny31 · 17/04/2013 20:40

Wanabe which tests are you using? I've been using Internet cheapies and I got like a shadow of a line, in the right light and if I squint :) my boobs have been sore for a week now and I feel a bit nauseous now and again ( but I've put that down to anxiety). I've got clear blue tests now and I'm going to try again in the morning.

WanabeMum · 17/04/2013 20:17

Feel really fed up, cd33 today, no sign of AF. Got tender boobs, had a brown smear when wiping last Thursday, very vivid dreams most nights since, some tenderness down there on and off, now a bit crampy. Cramps seem to be mild a come and go but 3 bfn's Sad what is going on?!

WanabeMum · 17/04/2013 19:25

Hey purple I got too obsessed first time too, trying to be better this time!
All sounds positive to me, maybe you don't have enough hgc in your urine yet? Try again with fmu in a few days, you never know! Smile

PurpleGeekyGirl · 17/04/2013 15:39

waves

I was resident on the bfp threads a while back but got too obsessed and stepped away from the computer to save my sanity so not sure if anyone remembers me. Anyways, I'm one to two days late (normal cycle 25-26 days) with no sign of AF arriving (and I am a very regular girl!) but have had a BFN with a FRER and a digital CB... Neither used FMU to be fair. Digital was on Mon and FRER today (was due Tues).

TMI alert: usually before af I get spotting in clear cm three days before and then pink cm the day before, especially after DTD (which we did yesterday). But nada. I do have lots of clear/creamy cm coming out and feel very 'wet' down there (far tmi sorry) Also my mouth tastes like I have been sucking on paracetamol tablets Confused and have quite bad nausea that comes and goes. Feeding the cat on Monday was horrible, yummy iams! And today someone at the other end of the train waiting room was eating a pâté sandwich, the smell of which that made me heave.

Basically I'm going insane. Am I or aren't I. That is the question. And I know you can't answer it but I just want to know dammit! With ds I'd given up and didn't test till I was a week late and had no symptoms with him at all so I can't even compare to that...

gillywillywoo · 17/04/2013 15:24

Hahahahahahahaha no... ! Grin
We just kinda forgot to turn it off!

Don't think he even noticed but I was slightly distracted!

MrsAVB · 17/04/2013 13:24

gilly you make me lol. I'm not sure I could manage dtd with maggie's funeral in the background. Does your DH like powerful women? Enjoy the rest of your day off.
& welcome dowk

gillywillywoo · 17/04/2013 12:27

I think you should Smile good luck!

In other news, DH and I went out for drinks with friends last night... Ended up getting very drunk, eating KFC in the kitchen at stupid o'clock in the morning and both fell asleep straight away Grin

DH was also sick in the night in the bathroom...Hmm

Very annoyed we didn't dtd... Especially after getting what I think was a positive OPK yesterday!

We are both off work today so we just dtd (with maggies funeral on in the background... Awkward Grin)

He's now having a shower and I'm lying on the bed with my legs in the air...posting on mumsnet... LOL

Think we'll go out somewhere nice for the afternoon and try to dtd again tonight.

I'm not even sure now whether it was a positive OPK or not... Looked positive but I have no EWCM and I'm on cd24! Seems so late to be ovulating.

Ahhhh well. Time will tell!

Penny31 · 17/04/2013 12:20

Yes of course! Hehe no different yesterday to be honest :( might invest in cb digital tonight......
