The Elderberry Pavlovas, sausage bouquets, one giant sofa and the Gü pots of destiny! (thread 9)

boom I now have a image of you cutting a ribbon in front of a door entitled BFP fairground and us all suddenly rushing towards it like mad women!!!

frog! Yay!! Got everything crossed. So pleased for you. What did dp say?

No need to apologise frog you've every right to be distracted and excited!

Thanks barking I only went to the docs the other week so they are carrying out some initial tests on me and DH. I've definitely ovulated all my previous cycles as I've temped previously and seen rise after positive opk. Am hoping it's just a one off or a delay due to me being a stressy pants!

Oooh Frog AMAZING! A line is a line is a line, it's a pg test right? So doesn't matter how dark line is, any line is a yes - you're tadpoled up! Congratulations!!! (And I SO hope it's twins!!)

I therefore declare the BFP floodgates officially open, let's get on it berries!

that's very cool frog, u really have my fingers crossed for you!!!

Oh & first 4 cycles were between 25 & 29 days. I'm CD25 today.

My cycles are a bit irregular & have been between 25 & 34 days over the last 6m when Ive been monitoring. However I suspect that the 34 day one which was when I temped & OPKd last cycle was anovulatory & I think the 31 day one before that may have been a chemical pg. I never tested positive but didn't use ICs & I was totally convinced with so many symptoms. FF predicts AF on Mon which would be CD28. I do however have a family history of twins which apparently give earlier BFPs - eeeek if so!

When would AF be due frog?

yorkie I was trying to reply to you but went completely off the point... I'd definitely go for the tests, if you haven't ovulated this month it will show up and they might refer you quicker?! Can't remember where you're up to, sorry. I need a list!!

Trying not to get too excited as I am only 11DPO so there is still plenty of time for it to all go wrong I guess. Am v v scared now.

Oh & bugger I can't have any wine to celebrate!! Now feel that have had a couple of glasses already this week.

Oh & sorry to ignore you Yorkie I'm just a bit shocked. Others who have had the tests probably better position to answer anyway. Where is DP when I need him? He's not home for another 45min!

cross posted - oh wow!!!!
A line is a line as they say
Have you told DP now?

Woo hoo frog very exciting news!

I don't think I ovulated last month. This month I've been taking b6 to try and lengthen my luteal phase but I've been crap at remembering to take it . I pimped with an opk a couple of days ago but nothing. I should be ovulating around now, it's usually cd19-22, but no signs as yet. Strange thing is I don't care, I have totally lost interest. I'm just waiting for my hsg and scan then fc appointment. I'm back on the again as well, don't see the point after 17 months sober for nothing!! Not going crazy, but not denying myself a couple of glasses anymore. I'll be a good girl again when I get clomid .

frog I so hope that's a line!!! On our way (v. v. slowly) to Wales for the wkd, I'll be straight on here to check for news when I get reception on top of a hill somewhere!!!

Aaaaargh! I pimped & there is a definite line now. OMG! Pls don't hate me berries as I still can't quite believe it! It's about the same as I got on CD12 or 13 of my OPK when I Ov'd on cd14. ICs are reliable right? I've not used them before...

Okay, thanks ladies. I normally temp but it was sending me a bit crazy so I stopped this month. However, I did take it this morning as a one off and my temp was still v low so I know I haven't ovulated. Do you think I should still get my blood tests done next week anyway?

I reckon I was anovulatory last cycle but all textbook this time yorkie on temps & OPKs. I think the occasional month is ok. I am on train home with two groups of women on hen dos or birthdays guzzling booze - truly horrific!

Hi yorkie i have had a couple of cycles where either i didnt ov or the opk missed it. do u chart too?

Getting to grips - or not! - with using a smart phone(i know must be last person in world) hence double post. unfort nothing to do with a fri night drink as stuck on trsin!

Bunny glad to hear getting away has changed the 'cleaning the oven' style reaction to your advances - that was you wasnt it? Maybe i need to go book a hol!

Hmm will definitely consider quilting tally anything to relax me as I'm a real stress head at the moment.

bunny glad you're having a lovely time.

boom my DH got a referral to the clinic from his gp and he had to go along and give his sample at the clinic - pots and inspiration provided there! I don't know of it depends on the gp practice though.

Speaking of that there are no results back today on DH's swimmers. The clinic has sent the results but gp has not received them yet. Frustrating! I've also had another negative on my opk so am now worrying I'm not going to ovulate this month. Anyone else had a cycle of not ovulating or should I be worried that something is wrong? Typically it's the month I've been referred for blood tests as well.

Urg, on train to see my mum and sitting opposite, you guessed it, hugely preggers woman...

Frog to be honest, I'd just pimp. If it doesn't show anything, you can put it down to not using FMU and you're still going to pimp again in the morning (if you're anything like me) so nothing lost, and it might just give you good news!

And acupuncture is amazing. I love it, even though as yet it hasn't got me upduffed - probably because a) it makes me feel like I'm being proactive and have some input into my treatment rather than being at the mercy of FC and b) it genuinely relaxes me, I always come out feeling positive and happy. Do it!

Got my appointment through for consultant. It's still technically gynae, not FC, but they're doing the same stuff so who cares. 21st June... why is the wait always so long?! Suppose it gives us a chance to get the hycosy and jizz test first. Speaking of which, could someone whose DH/DP has had his swimmers checked tell me how you go about organising the test? The consultant told me to get one but I don't know how, do you just march into a GP and ask for a jizz pot? And then what do you do with the sample?

BTW Tally I meant to say that's terrible, can't believe they booked you into the wrong flipping clinic! Glad it hasn't lost you any time, but still
