Thanks so much ladies. Saying lots of prayers wee bean stays put. Every time I go to the toilet I have a tiny bit of brown lining. Telling myself beany is just burrowing nice and deep...

Tentatively posting my stats:
TTC #1 Cycle #3 (MC cycle 1)
Got +ve opk on day 17.
BD on day 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21. Passed SMEP with flying colours!!

Started spotting on day24 (6dpo) and kept spotting for bout a week.
Got my BFP on Fri at 11dpo (day 28 of a 30day cycle). Did a FRER and it showed up very clearly. Did a CBdigital and it showed pregnant 1-2 weeks and did an IC and it was so faint that DH couldn't see anything (but I convinced myself I could). The next day I did an IC (because I had nothing else left!) and the line was stronger and did another IC today and it was stronger again. Also did a tesco one (bought yest bc there were no FRERs) and it showed up quite well. Moral of my story is ICs are bastard sticks. FRERs are my new best friends.

Symptoms were: awful acne flare up, very dry skin, hair more greasy, headaches, exhaustion, but nothing out of the ordinary. Went to bed and slept for an hour after work at 10dpo which I haven't done in years.
Things I tried: Pregnacare, baby aspirin 75mg, vitamin d, vitamin b6, preseed, robitussin and SMEP. I didn't temp this month as it was stressing me out last month.

Hope this helps as I always loved reading stats for all the other lucky ladies. X

broodysnoopstie · 25/05/2014 15:16

OK stats. I hope this gives you hope all those who don't do dtd often and not make you cross you amazing dtd marathoners but we only dtd once this month!!!!

Ttc # 1 cycle 9. Last cycle was all a bit strange as I had a 75 day cycle normally 33days. Doc had just started initial fertility tests as in June I have been off B/C for a year. (DP very glad not to have his sperm test this week now) So this cycle I temped all the way through for first time and together with opks and CM I thought I ov'd on Thurs 8th, was very upset as we hadn't managed to dtd yet and thought we had missed it. Posted on my regular thread newbies and experts upset, saying that dp's low libido had meant we hadn't dtd and we missed it and they all said jump him tonight! He came home late from work exhausted and I told him we need to dtd. He said I can't but I promise we will tomorrow morning. We did on the 9th.. I was convinced it was too late.

But then I started getting symptoms.. but convincing myself they couldn't be. The major one was my boobs have gone up a cup size and were so incredibly sore and solid and swollen.

At 9dpo (if you count thurs as ov day but 8dpo if conception day fri) I had pink tinged cm and 10/11dpo a stitch like cramp for a couple of hours on right side. 11/12 dpo til now af like cramps, and boobs physically hurting when I took my bra off.. 11/12 dpo cm yellowy brown, 12/13dpo BFN ..yesterday dtd a tiny bit of blood after. Final symptom last couple of days soo gassy and sicky burps.. Temp stayed high today 16/17dpo (AF due yesterday or today) BFP

Think that's everything, fingers crossed for you all, hope the lack of dtd gives you hope. :)

lindamagoo · 25/05/2014 15:06

Yay and flirty makes the hat trick, congrats Thanks

Spinning I had bfn's from 7 dpo right up until af was due and even then the ic was very faint but FRER came up instant Smile

broodysnoopstie · 25/05/2014 15:01

PS. I have had cramps all week. Defo a good sign

MissMrsMummy · 25/05/2014 14:57

Bloody hell, I feel like peeing on something now! EVERYONE is getting bfps! Well done!

HKat · 25/05/2014 14:53

Thanks, MissMrsMummy! And Flirty,yay! Super Sunday Smile

broodysnoopstie · 25/05/2014 14:45

Congrats Flirty according to nhs due date I'm 1st feb! :D

flirty30s · 25/05/2014 14:33

Thanks so much ladies! Must be something in the may air!! duchesse I keep havin cramps too and thinking that's it over. TMI alert too but I keep havin a wet feeling down under and thinkin it's AF but go check and there's nothing. Just trying to be lazy rest as much as possible and telling myself if I keep my feet up nothing can fall out...

theduchesse · 25/05/2014 14:21

Yep genni I have af cramps right now. It's actually a good sign.

gennibugs · 25/05/2014 14:16

Congratulations flirty!!!
3 in one day woop

kurama · 25/05/2014 14:13

Congrats flirty and broody and anyone else with BFP Grin

RetroHippy · 25/05/2014 14:13

And yey flirty!!

I had nearly a week of spotting before AF was due; hpts still getting stronger.

Luckiest bus ever!

flirty30s · 25/05/2014 14:08

Wow broody that is a lovely strong BFP! We are now BFP buddies yey!! Have you done due date calculator!? Mine says 30th Jan...

flirty30s · 25/05/2014 14:06

Omg massive congratulations duchesse and broody!!!

And I can't hold it in any longer...I'm making today a hat trick!! Got a BFP on Friday but after a mc cycle 1 and CP cycle 2 I waited a few days fearing the worst. I had also been spotting for a week which I thought was a bad sign. I'm still slightly worried but AF was due today and hasn't come and I just had to share in this excitement!!

FX for sticky beans all round ladies xox

spinningirl10 · 25/05/2014 14:03

Miss, fx for when you poas.

MissMrsMummy · 25/05/2014 13:54

Hkat you are not out yet so keep POASing!

MissMrsMummy · 25/05/2014 13:53

silver I'm only 6 dpo too but my LP is fairly short so I will know in the next few days! When are you planning to poas?

HKat · 25/05/2014 13:21

Still here Silverine, thanks for the shout out! Nothing much to report though...I have been feeling really sick today so I did a FRER a little while ago, but BFN. AF could turn up anytime from tomorrow though I have none of her usual symptoms - but if I'm back to 28 day cycle I'm not due on til Weds. So, disappointing to see the BFN but will (try!) to put it out of mind til AF arrives...Congrats to Duchesse, Broodie and all the other BFPs!

gennibugs · 25/05/2014 13:16

Thanks for the stats silver. I'll poas if no AF tomorrow.

to any of the ladies with their bfps, did you have any AFsymptoms - like cramps etc and assume AF was on its way? clutching at straws here

theduchesse · 25/05/2014 12:44

Thanks for the stats update silver. It's so nice to see my name up there Grin. And congrats broody, nothing wrong with being excited about your own news before you read back. It is life changing news after all Grin.

I'm so glad that made you happy kitty. We learn so much from each other on here it's nice to sometimes be able to pinpoint what really helped.

Broody I'm the same as you and haven't told dh yet. If I can make it to a shop later I'll get a frer and if the line comes up well on there I'll tell him but until then it's just all if you in the know Smile.

silverine · 25/05/2014 12:24

So here goes. I've decided to do a full stats list, including the sad MCs - I know MrsG and toothache are no longer on this bus but hope they wouldn't mind, I know I wouldn't want my angel beans crossed off the history books... - and SoMuch (FX!). So that gives us a grand total of 16 + MrsE's cat!! Long may it continue to the end!

MrsB, are you still in?
flirty and genni, are you POASing today?
Hope HKat and warrior return with updates!
spinning you're not out yet, so FX!

Woo hoo congratulations duchesse and broody! ! Fab news.

spinning there is still a chance.

I will poas tomorrow if no AF though I'm cramping pretty badly so feel it will turn up overnight.

Ill stay on here until tomorrow then i guess jump over to June

broodysnoopstie · 25/05/2014 11:45

Ps. Congrats duchesse sorry for being totally self obsessed preoccupied!

broodysnoopstie · 25/05/2014 11:43

Thank you so much for your replies. I will add stats as soon as I've seen two lines on a frer I just can't believe it. You lot being able to see it too has helped. I really need you all too because I'm not telling dp until im sure... He's had so much stress and upset recently a bfp followed by bfn would break his heart. So for now it's just me and you lot. I got a bfn on wed but a bfp today how long do you think it will take for a digi to show??
