It must be horrible being in limbo land, babytinks especially after your MMC - very sorry to hear that. The SMEP plan helped me to focus on something at least. I haven't got a +ve OPK yet so have been exhausting each other DTD every other day - at least DH has been game!

Sorry you are still here, Lovecuppy - we can wait together over the next week to poas Smile

babytinks89 · 18/01/2014 17:03

Can i join :)

Firstly congrats all you BFP's!!! So happy for you all, and sorry for the BFN this is me again sadly for now.....
Had 10 weeks MMC mid November, received first cycle 17th-23rd december.... But no AF since that's 33 days past now, and no sign of it and no sign of a BFP for me :(

Reading a few posts think i may try the sperm meets egg plan if my AF wants to hurry it's littleself up so we can try again lol!

Why is it such a long painful waiting game, not fair!

sending hugs to you all!!

Lovecuppy · 18/01/2014 17:00

I'm still here too! AF due 28/29th jan and currently 2 DPO!! Roll on the end of jan :-)

Congratulations to all the BFPs and sorry for those who have been visited by AF. I'm sure I'll be joining you on the fen bus anyway as the planned DTD marathon didn't happen due to a poorly DP... Grrrr (oops wasn't very sympathetic!!)

Honeybear30 · 18/01/2014 17:00

Af cramps not ov cramps! D'oh!

Honeybear30 · 18/01/2014 16:59

Afternoon all, thought you might want my stats (I know I was always interested!)...

So TTC #1, cycle 3 after stopping microgynon at the end of October. My cycle lengths were 28 and then 26. We dtd on cd 10, 12, 13, 15 and 17. I had ovulation pain on cd 13 and ewcm. On cd 24 I had bad lower back ache followed by what I thought were ov cramps on cd 25 and 26. Did a frer this morning, cd 28 and it came up within seconds. Couldn't believe it. And I feel normal, a bit crampy but that's all.

It still hasn't sunk in. I've been wandering around the house all day with the frer so I can keep checking it?!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/01/2014 16:36

Mama, I've read other things online that say the order of big o doesn't really matter. Your uterus will make little contractions regardless. good luck with the koala plan! hope it works for you!

Can't believe I am still lesson planning; 6 hours on a Sat is a killer! If I had a 28 day cycle, I could test Monday but I haven't been off the Pill long enough to know what my cycle is exactly. So, missmrsmummy, was going to test on 24th Jan as per the SMEP Plan. Nausea has subsided at least. Feels annoying waiting till next Friday to test, but I have teacher training to deliver and another Parents Evening before then, so it will give me something to look forward to, I suppose Smile

mama31 · 18/01/2014 16:24

Congrats Amy and honey! Great news!

Well koala plan was put in to action this morning!!! Needless to say DH face was a picture when I started cycling!!! I had to get him to leave the room, I just couldn't do it with him being hysterical!!! So I think from here on in, the plan is for him to leave for a few mins til I get the cycling over with then he can come back in!!! Haha!

With regard to orgasm after DH, we did manage this but I must say....it just wasn't the same for me :/ but needs must....i will carry on with whatever it takes! oh and that manuka honey....well a spoon of that was tough to get down this morning....thought I was going to barf!!!!! :/

Writerwannabe83 · 18/01/2014 16:14

Congratulations to all the BFPs today Smile

missmrsmummy · 18/01/2014 16:03

Oh no KittyVon (or should it be yay?!) how yucky! Are you ok now? Lesson planning is rather sickening, I have to agree!

Could be a good sign... Any other symptoms to note?

When is your BFP due again?

BingoBango85 · 18/01/2014 15:50

Thanks for the link. I'm in two minds about OPKs at the mo.....trying to focus on DTD in my presumed 'window' instead, but well aware curiosity will get the better of me if this is a fruitless cycle.

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 15:35

Well, this is a bit weird...in the middle of finishing off a lesson plan, I had to run to the bathroom to throw up. Now, either this is good news or I really just wrote the most awful lesson plan! Shame it is really to early to test - I got as far as looking at my ClearBlue pregnancy test packet and panicked when it said it was not that accurate before the first day period is due and promptly put it back on the bathroom shelf. Angry

BingoBango, I started off this month with good intentions of the SMEP Plan but I never got a positive OPK result (am still not!) so have been DTD every other day since CD8. I am now on CD26. Have done some cycle peddling after a few of the last DTDs (see Koala Plan from Jan Bus Part 2) so hoping all that hard work did the trick!

bellaboo - I have really struggled to notice anything regarding ewcm and what's what 'down there' - and there was me thinking I knew my body really well Grin

bellaboo88 · 18/01/2014 15:27

Littlemisssunshine, I'm still sat here patiently...I'm testing around same time as you I hope, predicted ovulation today but no ewcm yet & only DTD once this cycle...done everything wrong, drank my bodyweight in soda in new York and ate a million burgers too! Not taken my trying for a baby tablets either!!

Also doing koala plan but peddling is hard! I can't do uncaffinated tea so sod it! This is my first cycle but came but didn't prevent last month whilst coming off pill, think I missed of tho!

Does anyone else get a huge glob of ewcm & does it happen as your oving or afterwards?? X

BingoBango85 · 18/01/2014 14:30

BFP 27th Jan so a while yet. Trying not to use any particular devices/charting yet other than a general conception calculator app wotsit. We've both been so full of a cold this month it would need to be a miracle conception Wink How are you all managing things?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/01/2014 14:17

Hi bingo!! Welcome!! We're a good bunch!! When's your BFP due?

OP posts:
KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 13:46

We try to keep it real Wink

Are you doing anything specific, BingoBango such as using ovulation predictors or temp charting and the like?

BingoBango85 · 18/01/2014 13:05

Thank you. Always cautious of tinternet; some TTC pages make you doubt how anyone manages to get pregnant. Hoping for positivityGrin

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 13:00

Welcome BingoBango! 3 months is still longer than me so kudos. We will never get tired of baby/ttc talk so you are in a good place Grin

BingoBango85 · 18/01/2014 12:59

Yes 1st. Been TTC 3 months, which I realise is nothing. Patience has never been my strong point lol.

htbftm · 18/01/2014 12:41

Hi BingoBango! Think the tickets are free, so hop on lol! Are yu trying for your first? x

BingoBango85 · 18/01/2014 12:31

hello....may I buy a ticket for the bus? New to using forums, but DH getting bored of baby talk

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 12:22

Nothing exciting for me, ImaginaryHat! Sitting at laptop in dining room planning lessons for next week (in between MNEtting!) Hope the Feb bus brings you lots of 'love' in more ways than one, htbftm!

htbftm · 18/01/2014 12:02

AF got me earlier his week, but first AF since coming off cerazette I December, so being positive it means my body is ready to go! Fab news on all the BFPs - there are loads!!!!! Will see yous on the Feb bus! xx

ImaginaryHat · 18/01/2014 11:35

Thanks ladies. Just hits hard sometimes. Will have a good cry under the fluffy blanket then pull myself together for the koala plan next month. I know we might have missed ov day this month but dtd a lot in the run up so was hoping that would be enough. Anyway enough of my moaning, what's everyone up to this weekend? Not got anything on today but off out for sunday dinner and cinema with a chum tonorrrow, so that should be nice.
