Yay Kitty and well done for Dtd so much - good work!

Fx for everyone. I have 6 more days to wait BUT AF came tomorrow last cycle so every day that passes from tomo to Fri is another step closer to my BFP!

I don't feel pg. I have sore boobs (but had that last month) and AF style cramps but only mild. Also lots if ewcm yesterday and today.

Anyone poas today?

Sorry for those who are off the bus :-(

Kittyrose1 · 18/01/2014 08:20

Congrats Amy! Mine was on cd32 as well, how exciting. Mrsb87 I have been shattered this week thinking about y,
I had to have a nap yesterday afternoon! Fx

mrsb87 · 18/01/2014 08:11

Oooh sorry guys that af got, evil moo!
Congrats kitty sounds like you really put the effort in! I hope the little bean sticks.

I am still very much in the game, been completely off my food for 3 days, cramps like af is coming but in not due on til next Saturday? ! Ben uber tired and sleep, actually went to bed at 9 last night. 7 dpso. Want to peos now!!

amy246 · 18/01/2014 08:09

Just tested on CD32 and got my BFPGrin! Wasn't expecting it as symptoms haven't been that obvious: a bit tired, bit hungry, period pains but no period, sore boobs. Let's hope this bus is lucky for everyone else too, fx

DoctorDonnaNoble · 18/01/2014 08:03

Kitty - yup, witch is here! I'm in Wales as DH is running up and down Pen Y Fan carrying 35lb on his back today. Going to treat myself this weekend, and get back on it as soon as possible. Let myself think it could happen this month. So sad at the minute as my best RL friend (who had multiple miscarriages and would be a fab support) is on adoption leave at the minute.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 18/01/2014 08:00

Where's the February thread? I can't find it Hmm

Kittyrose1 · 18/01/2014 07:59

Sorry ladies with AF :( fx and tx for a feb bfp

Kittyrose1 · 18/01/2014 07:55

Thanks girls still feels pretty surreal!
Kittyvon and English I did ic OPKs from amazon and I did them all different times of day and I'm not sure I gave them the best go as I think you should do them the same time everyday? Still all the ones I did do were negative.
kittyvon EPO is evening primrose oil (suppose to be good for producing ewcm) and NUDP is naked upside down pedalling lol!
The reason I took the cough medicine is because I read last month that it contains the ingredient guaifenesin which for coughs thins out the mucus to make a more productive cough but it also does this to mucus throughout the body including cervical mucus which helps the swimmers along their way!

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 07:54

Oh, DoctorDonnaNoble-lots of virtual hugs here. Does that at least mean that AF has arrived and are no longer in limbo land? I'll keep up with your news on the Feb bus as I have been following your story since I arrived on here and would like you to have a BFP so much!

DoctorDonnaNoble · 18/01/2014 07:50

I'm out. It's been a really difficult month. My hormones have clearly been all over the place and my PMS symptoms have now changed - they are now even more like pregnancy symptoms - goody. I'm over to February now. Hopefully won't see too many of you there!

KittyVonCatsington · 18/01/2014 07:46

Will done you, KittyRose1! You give me hope seeing as you didn't get a positive OPK either

Quick question, what's EPO and NUDP (and why does cough medicine help)?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 18/01/2014 07:41

Congrats Kitty!! And great that despite no positive OPK you still got your BFP!!

I'm on cd 19 now. Run out of OPKs now too. Still no fixed smiley so I'm goin to have to keep DTD! I'm temping but that appears to be showing me bugger all either!
DH goes away on Thursday so I think I'm gonna have to just pinned him down every night between now and then!

Congrats kitty!
Sorry to those AF got.

I'm getting the urge to POAS now at around 9DPO argh...

Fivemoreminutesmummy · 18/01/2014 07:06

I'm out. AF arrived yesterday. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Kittyrose1 · 18/01/2014 07:04

Thanks monday sorry for standing you up as your poas buddy! Fx for your bfp :)

Stats -
Kittyrose1 ttc #1 cycle #2 BFP 17th jan
~ DTD - cd6,8,9,10,11,13,14,15, 16, 18, 21.
~ Ov'd - no idea as no positive opk but did get slightly increased cm (no ewcm though) from cd10 - 15.
~ DPO therefore approx16/17 days (fertility app says 17dpo)
~ symptoms have included a couple of fleeting waves of nausea and also feeling dizzy, but they quickly pass. My skin has gotten really oily, to the point my fringe is mega greasy after just one day , also heaps of spots over my back (which I haven't has since a teenager). I also have been getting weird little twinges that feel like they are in the uterus area.
~ tips/tricks I followed included taking Robitussin Chesty Cough medicine x2 5ml everyday from cd 6 to 16 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001E177J6, as well as EPO x2 1000mg. I did NUDP after most BD sessions.

I think that's about it... Hopefully something here will help someone else, fx.

MundayCakes85 · 18/01/2014 00:13

Congratulations Kitty!! Gives me hope for tomorrow Smile
So if you could give us your montly stats- DTD days, ov day, what dpo you are and all the symptoms so the rest of us can obsess!! Who will be my POAS buddy now?!? X

Kittyrose1 · 18/01/2014 00:02

Hi ladies, I couldn't wait and so I poas tonight - it was a BFP!!! I can't quite believe it!!Grin here's to hoping it is a nice sticky one that grows into a healthy bundle of joy.
Good luck everyone testing this weekend and chin up to those with AF visits x

missmrsmummy · 17/01/2014 23:15

Wah, I feel like I really don't know my body! OPK smiley on Sat, no ewcm to note but had quite a bit today...is that 'normal'? I thought it was meant to come during ov

mama31 · 17/01/2014 22:50

Good luck honeybear!!!!

Honeybear30 · 17/01/2014 22:36

Evening all :) 13 DPO here. Was convinced yesterday that af would be here as I had really bad cramps on 11 and 12 DPO. But nothing! Normally af comes the day after the cramps. Hmmm. I have no other symptoms, like seriously nothing. Not tired, no sore nips, don't feel sick.

Keep fx for me that af doesn't appear tomorrow! If I'm feeling very brave I might be able to do my very first ever poas on Sunday!

KittyVonCatsington · 17/01/2014 22:25

ItsChristmaas - could it be implantation pains? At the very least, is probably ovulation pains. FX!

ImaginaryHat · 17/01/2014 21:03

Lol, Ive done the pedalling, although after ov I think, if dont get bfp this month will adopt it in full next time, especially if it gives you your bfp!!

mama31 · 17/01/2014 20:47

I hope the 2ww goes quickly for you and you get your bfp!!!! Good luck! And you have a good wkend too!!! I'm pretty certain if the koala plan works for me that most ladies on here will be on it by next cycle! Hahaha!!!!

ImaginaryHat · 17/01/2014 20:43

Hey mama, yeah am ok ta, just wishing time away to get the 2ww over and done with, hopefully without af putting in an appearance!

Yeah I had 1 month without opks and hated it, I feel a bit more in control knowing when Ive ov'd, at least you can count the 2ww down then and know if you end up being 'late'. You're just entering the good bit now though aren't you! Have a good weekend Wink Never even heard of that honey before the koala plan, will let you be the guinea pig on that one!

ItsChristmaass · 17/01/2014 20:08

KittyVon thanks for replying. I've never had it before.. Been ttc for 13 months now and never had this pain this early before af. Confused It's quite bad at times.
