Oh and kitty if you're reading I'm crediting you with this bfp! I'm either 14dpo based on dodgy and hard to read opk's or 10dpo based on potential ov spotting. I think you were the one who told me about the existence of ov spotting and convinced me to dtd when it happened! So a very big thank you and plenty of Thanks coming your way.

mrshjb · 25/05/2014 06:49

Fantastic news, congratulations!!

theduchesse · 25/05/2014 06:42

It's there again this morning! It really is my bfp this time! Still a bit nervous because I had a chemical a few months back but I am so excited. I don't have any frers but I might have to go out and get some because DH seems to apply opk rules to hpts - if it's not as dark as the control line he just doesn't believe it!

I so hope you get your bfps too silver and genni and everyone else on this bus still waiting. When are you testing? I will hang around on this bus until the end I think to see how many more people get their bfp. Although I get the impression pretty much everyone else has already jumped ship to june, or at least straddling both buses!

I'm so excited. And so glad I can share it on here.

Hi all.

Duchesse fx this is it for you. Have you got any frers?

I too find these days just before AF so hard. I've been a total biatch to poor DH all day. I've got all my usual AF symptoms, I know in my heart this isn't our month, yet I keep trying to convince myself that maybe they are pg symptoms.

On a more positive note I think I'll buy the soft cups and have a practice with them. See if I can get the hang of them.

silverine · 24/05/2014 21:21

Aww duchesse fx for you darling! Surely it can't be a mistake on both! Are you peeing on some frers soon?
I'm really hoping this is our month too. Have a good feeling about it even though we stopped dtd on ov night. only 5dpo so have a good few days to wait still. REALLY hoping.. don't know what I'll do if we don't get it this month... we're both really dedicated & want it so much but both really exhausted.

theduchesse · 24/05/2014 21:14

Oh spinning it will happen. I know there's always those days when it feels like it only happens for everyone else but it will happen for us too. I think it's my impatience that makes it worst for me. I don't want it soon I want it now!

lindamagoo · 24/05/2014 21:02

It will happen spinning. I put conceive plus around the rim and around the inside of the softcup to help the swimmers along, I know lots of people use preseed but it's just a sperm friendly lube, conceive plus helps the little guys reach the target Smile That's me 6 weeks and 4 days now, killer sore boobs, ridiculous nausea and can't button my jeans up already Smile oh and really bad mood swings, poor oh is taking some shit from me these days, lol

theduchesse · 24/05/2014 21:02

I feel like an idiot saying this because I said exactly the same thing about 4 days ago and it turned out to be an evap (but it was pink damn it!), but I think I can see a faint, faint line. It's on the notorious ics and it's so faint you can't really see it on a photo but I did 2 sticks this time and I can see it on both. Please let it be true. Please don't let it be my brain just making it up because I want it so much.

silverine · 24/05/2014 20:21

Hi all, sounds like everyone is having one of those harumph days...
I am too at a friends' bbq & there are more kids & babies than I expected... Lots of baby talk around... so had to try & circumvent it.
Held a friend's three-month old & gave him his bottle, DH looked at me & said 'I can only dream of that'... Sad I think he's getting a bit tired of the whole thing...

spinningirl10 · 24/05/2014 19:54

Linda, yeh I did, they were easy to get in and out. I might use them, I think I'm just having one of those days when I'm wondering if I'm ever going to get a bfp again. These days waiting and hoping before af's arrival are the worst. Anyway, how are you getting on, how many weeks are you now? Grin

theduchesse · 24/05/2014 19:53

I've never tried the stork hed, or soft cups or a mooncup. I'm clearly not a true mnetter Wink.

That would be so typical missmrs if you get your bfp this cycle when you are actually hoping not to after all the months of trying and getting nothing.

theduchesse · 24/05/2014 19:50

It's getting quiet here again for the end of the month. Only a few of us stragglers left. I'm still basically poas twice a day at the moment but don't really know when af is due so don't really know if it's the right time to poas. I'm starting to find my irregular cycles very frustrating.

hedwiggity · 24/05/2014 17:32

Has anyone tried the stork ? Its a conception aid online think they do it on amazon its like a lol dildo wand thing and a soft cup soft of thing at the end Grin

hedwiggity · 24/05/2014 17:31

Tried softcups they leaked horrendously my mooncup on the other hand stays as high as can be with a bit of swivelling Grin messy but gotten used to the smell and touch now lol doesn't stop me from being airy down there though i sneeze and my fanjo sneezes tooGrin not good for keeping the swimmers in !! Angry

lindamagoo · 24/05/2014 16:03

Aw spinning did you not get on well with the softcups?

spinningirl10 · 24/05/2014 15:44

Haha Mrs, it's the law of sod that you'll get a bfp this month!!

Genni, I think we're all the same there with getting our hopes up! We dtd loads this cycle, I know some people always dtd loads and are still waiting for their bfp. It really is just pot luck isn't it. I haven't tried the cough medicine.....not sure I'll use the soft cups again but I'll keep going with the preseed.

MissMrsMummy · 24/05/2014 15:25

Sorry to those who are getting bfns and finding that everyone else in the world is pg Thanks

I am 5dpo and getting nervous. As weird as it sounds I could do without bfp this month as starting a new job in Sept! We tried not to shag but ended up DTD twice before ov. Eek.

gennibugs · 24/05/2014 15:24

I'm ok spinning, got all my usual pre AF symptoms so not looking hopeful this month. Which I sort of knew but you always get your hopes up don't you just in case! If nothing by Monday I'll poas for sure on my last frer...

Just been to boots and stocked up on cough medicine. It's pretty much the only thing I've not tried! Looked at the soft cups but not sure I'm brave enough - I'm scared they'd be difficult to use...

spinningirl10 · 24/05/2014 13:48

Thanks ladies. How are you feeling Genni?
I stopped for coffee and checked in on fb to find not 1, not 2 but 3 pregnancy announcements, all with scan photos!! I want my bfp, stomps feet!!

gennibugs · 24/05/2014 10:36

Bah to the bfn spinning. Good luck painting!

KittyVonCatsington · 24/05/2014 10:20

Those blank windows are always horrible to look at spinning Make sure you get yourself a Brew break in between that painting.

Morning all :)

Just a quick one before I start painting!
Got a bfn again this morning with a frer :( Run out of ic's.

mrshjb · 24/05/2014 09:41

No problem :) I'm trying to build up good karma pregnancy points

hanflan · 24/05/2014 09:02

Done. Thanks so much, you are a star!

mrshjb · 24/05/2014 09:00

Hanflan private message me your address and I'll pop them in the post to you! No worries about the postage, can't really see it being expensive when they're not that heavy!
