PerpetualStudent · 07/05/2014 11:17

Rambini you are a legend! Sorry for everyone being messed about my AF & cycle lengths, what a pain!

Im adrift in my 1st TWW & already going bonkers!! Have a slight funny tummy, though I am prone to indigestion, so Im not counting it as a SYMPTOM (much)
According to FF Im 6 DPO (I think 7, going by cramps, but 1st cycle TTC, so what do I know) how soon can I POAS!?

macmissy · 07/05/2014 11:00

Rambini you have just caused my work colleagues to stare at me in wonder as I have literally laughed a loud. Good work honey! I am impressed!

I hope Kitty & Kurama are feeling better today - I have enough hugs to go round & hopefully the sun is shining a bit on you today?

I am off work tomorrow & Friday so I am on cloud 9, now if I dare POAS tomorrow.. hmmmm do I? don't I? AF is due 12th I think.. I don't know if I can wait.. what do you lovely lot suggest?

spinningirl10 · 07/05/2014 09:28

Haha i nearly spat my coffee out Rambini! Sorry it's not funny that you've got an injury but that is a funny story! The things we doGrin

ChandlersFarang · 07/05/2014 09:17

Genni - good work, keep the faith!!

If we're recommending books (am googling zita!) can I suggest everyone reads Expecting Better by Emily Oster? She's an economist that was completely confused by all the conflicting advice on pregnancy when she got upduffed, so conducted an analysis of all of it. She picked apart some of the best-known studies, and boiled it all down to the best recommendations on everything. Good, sensible stuff that leaves you able to make your own decisions about what you eat/do/etc. Section on conception too so I wasn't getting (too far!) ahead of myself by reading it now... Smile

ChandlersFarang · 07/05/2014 09:12

The below was for kurama by the way! Lol xxx

gennibugs · 07/05/2014 09:09

Morning all.

Have been keeping a low profile as trying not to get too obsessed this month.

5th day of blank smiley on the cb - starting to get annoyed with it now. We are dtd regardless, 5 days in and I think DH is already starting to struggle but we've said we'll try our best to keep going!

I've been reading zita west's book and so far it's making a lot of sense and keeping me calm (well until the 2ww)!

ChandlersFarang · 07/05/2014 09:08

Your phone is doing a fine job of getting your message out there... Better than deleting it before it's sent at least! Smile fingers crossed for 5 days' time...

Spotti · 07/05/2014 09:00
  • that was supposed to say "that was a bit of a ramble! Sorry about that."

Retarded autocorrect.

Spotti · 07/05/2014 08:59

^

That was a bit ramble! Sorry and out that. Jeremy Kyle USA was putting me off (a guys got a prostitute preggers and is now denying he's a pimp!)

good god, I watch some twaddle

Spotti · 07/05/2014 08:57

Bless you kurama - that phone of yours really is taking the piss isn't it? >chuckles<

I peed on my last OPK of this month (still got about half a bag of ICs left which I obviously won't need cos I'll be upduffed ) and got a very very faint second line soooo I've given OH some time off DTD on demand - it's just for funsies now Wink. Based on the OPKs I'm pretty sure we managed to DTD around the right time this month (DTD cd13, 15, 16 - +ve OPK on cd16) although I'm a bit worried that we didn't do anything after that...we did plan to DTD on cd18 but life got in the way...hope those little swimmers stuck around!

If it's not worked this month then I'll know we need to keep at it for a few more days after the +ve OPK...

On a SYMPTOMS note not that I'm symptom spotting, my boobs are killing!!! My fanjo keeps doing funny twinge-y things too. Had diddly squat SYMPTOMS last month but had the sore and full boob thing the month before so can't really tell if it's a SYMPTOM or not :-/

Only about 3-5 dpo anyway so it's probably nothing to get excited about.

Looking forward to a day off work tomorrow (I hope the sunshine sticks around so I can get out and enjoy it).

Happy Wednesday ladies!

kurama · 07/05/2014 08:38

I hate my phone right now.....

kurama · 07/05/2014 08:36

chandlers if the clomid continues making my body follow the same pattern then im due on sun... 5daysGrin RAWR!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/05/2014 07:53

Morning Ladies! Still no full on af, but still kind of spotting. Brown stuff yesterday. TMI alert - dtd last night, as its not crucial time i went straight to the loo after, swimmers mixed with pale blood, but nothing really this morning. Was hoping dtd might give the witch a kick up the arse. Temp back up a bit today! Total head fuck.

Kitty, sorry you're still in limbo. My last (anov)cycle was 44 days, hope yours ends soon. It is crap. Have you thought about seeing a dr??
Sorry you're feeling crap too Kurama.
Rambini - massive high five for your dedication to the cause!! Hope it does the trick this cycle!

Come on ladies, chin up, tits out! Positivity needed!! We WILL get our bfps and for those of us struggling - it'll be even more special when we do! Smile

toots123 · 07/05/2014 07:11

Sorry your not feeling great kurama and glad you didn't miss your peak rambini!!

MrsGingerbread · 07/05/2014 06:30

Hello to all the newbies! What a nice full bus!
Good luck to you all

MrsE good luck with everything. We will miss you very much.

I've woken up with tummy ache. Witch is due Friday, and I fear she is on her way. Stay away witch!! Sad

kurama · 07/05/2014 04:44

That's dedication rambini. The aware is all yours.

Sorry to those in limbo or caught by the witch since I was last on. That sucks. Kitty, when I don't ovulate I also don't get af at all I just have a double cycle of 60 days or so. I know I ovulate in the second cycle because in one of those DS was conceived. Could this happen with you?

ChandlersFarang · 07/05/2014 02:48

Rambini - Jesus Christ!!! That's the stuff of absolute legend!! Grin well done. That accident sounds harrowing - glad the essential feelings of arousal can shine through any pain barrier!! And you're still one-handed typing on here too - WineWine for you!!

Kurama I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling great!! Some of those things could def be SYMPTOMS tho right? How long til you poas?

kurama · 06/05/2014 22:51

lol rambini cant ignore a peak even if ur at deaths doorWink tobi it could be but as your not sure of your dates it could be real. id poas again either wed or thurs to see if lines still there/any darker.
it sucks as I hate having to take painkillers but wont sleep at all if I dont. laying down on right side hurts but cant lay on back or left as my necks worse!. if I was a horse I would have been shot years ago is a very common phrase when ppl are talking to me....Sad ah well if my bodies trying to fix other stuff it might let my little egg get all settled Wink Wink Wink

rambini · 06/05/2014 22:20

Thanks Kitty.
Now...I think I would like to take this weeks prize for "dedication to the cause".
A child at school accidently cut me with sharp scissors, quite badly. 2 fingers were half severed. Anyway, I got all first aided and patched up but am still in a lot of pain and have to keep it elevated to stem the bleeding as it kept bleeding through. But....today was my 2nd peak...I couldnt ignore that!
SHAME ALERT
So I may have dtd, with my arm elevated the whole time and still half dressed as I couldnt get my top half clothes off! Blush
You would think it stopped there. But no. Apparantly my crazy knows no limits. When dh was struggling to finish coz lets face it, whats NOT sexy about a bleeding half dressed maniac waving an arm in the air I simply yelled at him to, verbatim, "dig deep! You are not the one bleeding!" Blush Blush Blush

tobiano · 06/05/2014 22:10

hi all, been off for a couple of days, and everytime I come back on, theres so many new names!

So glad to read of the bfp's for this month..now...I dtd on 27th April...not sure of my cycle days etc as its been very irregular..but I remember my af starting between 12th - 15th April..

Ive felt a few cramping pains these past few days, and fell into temptation to poas...
well this morning after so many bfn's ...I got a very feint positive...so, with me not knowing my dates etc..could this be a 'false positive' what ive read about?
