So, here it is, Part 4! May it bring lots of BFP's for those of us still waiting and may it bring happy healthy pregnancies for those who are fabulously pregnant.

Thanks everyone. It all feels a bit surreal. We'd settled ourselves in for several months more of trying. In going to phone the surgery and arrange a booking appointment with the midwife today.

Tested again this morning and it is definitely a bfp. DH thinks I've gone a bit mad. He's very excited.

Hope you find some digi ov tests soon swede. If you don't then it sounds like you and dh are doing a sterling job at fitting in dtd every other day.

Hm, just checked online and I should be able to buy them here. I think the pharmacy I use may be too small. Will go to a bigger one and see if I can get my hands on one.

I haven't seen any digi tests here. Is it clearblue that does them? I should be about CD 15 and my usual Ov day is CD 14. I guess as the cycle is somewhat different in that part of my mc bleed (sorry TMI) counts as AF (according to gyno) so to expect to Ov on the same day as usual is probably a bit naive. Still my left ovary did hurt about two days ago but not a lot since so not sure. Have used Opk's for the last 3 or 4 days so if Ov was in the making I should have known about it. Frustrating indeed. Will have a look for a digi test but this is Africa so my hopes are not high:(

Can you get hold of any digi tests, Swede? I find the ones with lines quite frustrating.

What CD equivalent are you?

I'm sure OV will happen. Must be annoying feeling so helpless.

Still no Ov for meAngry Getting slightly annoyed and worried. Still I guess expecting a 'normal' cycle after mc is a bit naive of me. Dtd last night in any event. Opk still had faint line this morning but that's about it. Off to work in a moment, meetings all day, oh joy.

Massive congratulations monster!

I must admit I've googled way too much and have worried myself silly! Blush

Noyoucantwatchpeppapig · 14/01/2014 21:17

Congratulations monster, I am hoping some of this threads luck will rub off on me soon.

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 14/01/2014 19:25

Amazing news. Congratulations monster

Ds is better so we're all getting more rest but I'm still shattered so sorry about short post.

My stats: ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged. 9 weeks pg. Conceived on cycle 3. Have a ds who's 2.5.

mrsm22 · 14/01/2014 18:55

Congratulations Monster!

guinnessgirl · 14/01/2014 14:39

congratulations Monster, that's fab news Smile

Windywinston · 14/01/2014 13:38

Congratulations Monster, that's brilliant news!

35 years old, DD is 18months old, conceived after TTC for 2 years. We threw caution to the wind once last year and then decided we might as well start TTC again, so I joined this thread. Turns out that that one time was all it took and am 21 weeks with DC2.

The thread was VERY lucky for me!

Kt1991 · 14/01/2014 13:04

Yay monster congrats! How you feeling?

Toothpastekissesno2 · 14/01/2014 12:36

Nice new thread swede! I'm toothpastekissesno2 / ds is 15 months and I'm coming up yo 16 weeks. Got pg on cycle 2 which still astounds me as much quicker than no1.
Bitter - do u have a ds or dd? I reckon u feel much less sick with a boy! I feel almost entirely 'normal' now bar slight excess weeing, insane dreams and the sudden bouts of extreme tiredness. Oh and the bump that seems to be appearing which I prob can't now say is just the sheer amount of toast I have been eating!
Was so releived after 12 week scan and am now in tizz again. The worrying is ridiculous. Midwife apt tomorrow so holding out for that heart beat!
Mrs - don't google. Had two friends with that at twenty weeks and it changed.
Swede- I had the most sex ever when I conceived so I think go for it!
Monster - yippppeeee!!!!

BetterNotBitter · 14/01/2014 10:33

Congratulations monster great news!!!!

Id probably dtd tonight lucy & I wouldnt worry about doing it too much or too little, so many people (including me the first time round) fall pregnant by accident I'm pretty sure its just the luck of he draw, frustrating though it is! Clearly a success guaranteed schedule would be the optimum option!!

HungryHorace · 14/01/2014 09:06

I'd go again tonight, Lucy, though I believe it's the DTD pre-OV which is more likely to result in a BFP. No harm trying though.

With DD we DTD the 3 days before and the day after my smiley.

Lucyjojo · 14/01/2014 08:55

Hurray Monster!! That is amazing news! First BFP of the new thread, may there be many more!!
Hmm Swede and Hungry you've got me thinking I've over done it this cycle. I got a very positive opk yesterday and we dtd last night, as well as sun morning, so do I go again tonight and tomorrow night, or just tonight, or just tomorrow night!? Thursday,fri,sat are pretty much right offs due to our work schedule, we're like ships in the night for 3 days, so I want to make the next two days count!

HungryHorace · 14/01/2014 08:35

Yay, Monster, 3rd cycle lucky for you too! Well done :-)

What does your DH say?

claudeekishi · 14/01/2014 08:08

Congratulations, monster! How exciting!

Metalhead · 14/01/2014 07:28

Great news Monster, congratulations!! Very pleased for you.

I'm feeling rubbish today, got a cold coming on and couldn't drop off last night despite being shattered, plus the constant weeing has also already started for me... bleurgh.

Tested this morning, and I seem to have a BFP! Can't quite believe it. Have some more tests so will double check tomorrow morning.

Must stop checking test is still positive.

SwedeAway · 14/01/2014 06:23

Hungry - that's good to hear! I am trying to stay positive (hate the whole dtd schedule but hey ho). All out of opk's so need to get some more during my lunch break. Gyno also told me to get a pg test or two to keep at home as he wants to know the minute that I get pg...Went to the shop yesterday to buy some but decided against it as I dont want to jinx it. Stupid I know but I at least want to have a chance (ie must dtd more than once) before I can even start believing that it could be possible.

OP posts:
HungryHorace · 14/01/2014 05:35

Oh, and DTD EOD worked for us this time...Sunday, Tuesday, smiley on Weds, then DTD again Thursday, and that was it, stopping on CD16 equivalent. So your gynae may have a point!'

HungryHorace · 14/01/2014 05:33

At least your line is getting darker, Swede.

And quickies were invented for your situation! :-)

Feeling quite ropey at the moment...I felt sick when we came to bed and still feel odd now. The constant weeing is annoying too. I only had to get up twice before about week 35 last time. I've got up twice tonight already. Sigh!
