sazz jump into the 2014 thread and let them know too for anyone who doesn't go between threads. I'm sure they'd love to hear your news Especially as a 15monther! I just read your post from the start of jan about 'playing the long game' and keeping positive. I am sooooo happy for you! X

m33r · 20/01/2014 19:21

Worth a go; I'm too late this month but will give it a go next month if I don't get my BFP.

Congrats again!! I wish you happy and healthy nine months. am so so so pleased for you! X

DoctorDonnaNoble · 20/01/2014 19:17

Nice one sazzle!
Having another dark day today here. I hate AF and this month it's like it hates me too! Beginning to wish I hadn't done London marathon last year and had just tried to get pregnant Hmm

sazzlehopes · 20/01/2014 19:14

m33r - thank you so much - it means a lot coming from you. I need to let it sink in a while, but i'll definitely give you any details that I think may help tomorrow morning when i've re-tested. I did have one reflexology session this month - something I was prepared to give a go for 6 months and I timed it with pretty much the day before I ovulated and I've no idea if it worked but i had heard good things about it... Worth a try maybe? My lady said once a month around ovulation would be enough....x

m33r · 20/01/2014 18:57

sazzle left the buses a while ago but just jumped on and I can't believe what I'm seeing. Having a good happy congratulatory cry for you!!!!!!!!! Hurrah!!! Congratulations! So chuffed for you! Any details welcome but let it sink in first!!! Congrats!!!

Jessica78 · 20/01/2014 18:41

Sazzle that's definitely a line! Fx for you xxx

SnowBells · 20/01/2014 18:40

Nearing the end of my period. App says that expected Ov is 2nd February. When do you think should we start to dtd?

Obviously will use CB monitor, too. But I did hear that it sometimes misses it at the beginning...

Moffit · 20/01/2014 18:23

Congratulations Sazzle!! Looks like a BFP to me Smile

pebble82 · 20/01/2014 18:21

Could I please have your opinions please ladies. I'm going mad with opks but no result. I think today might be darker (cd18) than other days but not dark enough to be positive. Could you have a look at my pic?

Do you think this means I'll get a fully dark line tomorrow or am I destined not to OV this month at all? My temps dropped slightly this morning so I suppose if it goes up tomorrow that means I've OVd.

DTD yesterday and day before so not sure if we should rest for tonight or just keep going for it. I'm sure DP will get fed up soon.

Argh, this ttc lark is a pain!

toots123 · 20/01/2014 17:21

I wouldn't know cause I haven't had one myself but that looks like a bfp!!! :)

sazzlehopes · 20/01/2014 17:15

I'm sorry I'm not on this bus but i need my bus friends the old timers to look at this for me. I think I have a line on an IC please look and tell me....

omg omg omg omg omg

mama31 · 20/01/2014 16:37

Just got solid smiley on clearblue opk! So dtd tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday it is!!!! DH hasn't had spermies tested (yet) so no idea if I should be worried about that or not!! Going to plough on and dtd every day then! NUDP here we go again!!!!

rossby · 20/01/2014 15:13

Ha mama31 you're going to be tired! I had that a month or two ago when the stupid clear blue OPK just kept giving me flashing smileys for days on end - by the time the solid smiley appeared my poor DH just looked at me and weakly protested 'no, no...' as I approached the bed. Obvs jumped him anyway! - but I did worry about whether he was really in good enough shape. I think a day off today might be ok if it's not solid smiley. I am only on CD8 and in OWW for solid smiley before TWW starts

sazzlehopes · 20/01/2014 13:17

I know i sometimes worry about that although if your dh has normal sperm count i think dtd every day isn't a problem, only bad if the guy has a low sperm count or poor mobility? Has your DH had a SA?

mama31 · 20/01/2014 13:03

Only have 2 clear blue opks left so I'm hoping to get the answer today or tomorrow! I should do though! Thanks sazzle! Just means if I get smiley then ill have dtd sat, sun, Mon, tue, wed....doesnt give much time for replenishing spermies....

sazzlehopes · 20/01/2014 12:53

Hey mama, although I think you've answered your own question I would dtd tonight if you get a solid smiley... dtd tomorrow if just flashing?

mama31 · 20/01/2014 12:46

If no smiley face on clear blue that will give me another day I think so will wait and dtd tomorrow!

mama31 · 20/01/2014 12:46

Hmmm...I think it's disgusting whatever I'd do with it but I'm still gona eat it :/

Cd12 here and positive opk!! Hoorah!!:) but small dilemma now....DH and I dtd sat and sun, should I carry on Mon, tue, wed?? or skip today and do tomorrow?! Afraid of draining the spermies....but also afraid of missing the crucial time :/ gah! what to do!!! Same dilemmas every month :/ will opk again later with a clear blue (just used cheap ic opk there now) and if a smiley face appears might just have to keep up the dtd as would be afraid of missing the egg!!!!

headfullofsweetiemice · 20/01/2014 11:47

You could try putting the spoonful of manuka honey into a cup of ginger tea or even just a glass of boiling water with some fresh lemon juice. Its pretty nice in this miserable weather - especially if you have a cold.

spinningirl10 · 20/01/2014 11:45

Hi allGrin

Lovin' the nudp stories!!! We are a crazy bunchGrin

Well I haven't managed to hold off dtd as planned!!

I'm due to ov on Sunday/Monday I think and dp doing night shifts at end if the week so not the best for dtd especially as I'm not going to tell him it's ov time!!

gennibugs · 20/01/2014 11:29

Hi all. Just checking in.
Took a couple of days off as could feel myself getting obsessed (already) and had a mini row with DH about it - I wanted to DtD as was a key day and he refused as he was tired and stressed from work. It doesn't help that there are a lot of older women in his office that appear to have gotten pregnant first time or fairly quickly and my arguments that we are slightly older than most and therefore don't have the luxury of time to take a relaxed we'll see what happens approach are not working with him. Oh I don't know typing that I do sound like some kind of obsessive weirdo. Maybe I do need to chill with some Wine

Hope all is ok with everyone and those on the koala plan are persevering! Smile

lorelie · 20/01/2014 10:48

Ok so I was thinking this month would be it, I used an opk, we dtd lots around the right time, I got mild cramps just after ovulation which never normally happens, last week I had the mother of all colds (I read somewhere that your immune response is lowered to help implantation), and yesterday I had some brown spotting which I never normally get between periods. I was thinking all the signs are pointing towards getting my bfp next week and today AF appears ;( so now starting cycle 5. Saw my doctor a couple if weeks ago who was really nice and suspects pco so have to have an ultrasound and bloods done as it may linked to this. So after being unceremoniously kicked off the January bus this morning I haves jumped on February's.
TTC #1, cycle 5, bfp due feb 28th-ish
