Who wants to buddy up?!

Issie - I'm.not as I feel.AF looming,my stomach cramps are horrible :( keeping everything crossed for you hun x

Nicky, it sounds like you've got it covered with the dtd-marathon fingers crossed you're in your tww now and get your BFP soon

So my 'test early' type HPTs arrived with my online Tesco shopping yesterday and are already calling to me every time I go in to the bathroom. It says on the pack that you can test from 6 days before your missed period, that would be this Thursday for me (although it does say that only 58% of women who end up to be pregnant get a positive 6 days before missed period.) I imagine I'll be very tempted to test on Thursday but can't bare to see the BFN!! Gahh!

Anyone else feeling the temptation to test yet??

thanks Brooke113....I've actually doubted myself today and actually gone looking for yesterday's to check (which wouldn't of been any good anyhow as your not to read the result after 10 mins )

it was Def 2 lines yesterday one lighter in colour and there was Def 2 today but 1 even lighter. we dtd last night (sorry tmi ) but may have to go with tonight too just to make sure..... x

Nicky - If it was almost positive yesterday ,the surge can sometimes be very short, which is why it might be lighter today, in theory of you ov'd yesterday then OPKs should get lighter and lighter now.

Brooke113 ....you sound as confused as me lol.

littlebunny ...you do right. x

Well after my almost positive yesterday today is still 2 lines but one even lighter than yesterday....there only cheap ones so I'm thinking that yesterday was ov day???? I'm now very confused...
we managed to dtd last night so hopefully will have covered it x

I've been using first response opk but they are very sensitive. So just today I changed to CB opk and got a negative (still positive on first response) so counting today as 1DPO. I'm still very new to TTC. I had a mc on my 3rd cycle and now on my 4th. My cycle hasn't changed since my mc. Tonight I've decided to have a glass of red, need to live a little!

So, negative again this morning on clearblue opk, I'm praying I have already ov'd and my body isn't messing with me! Have a good day ladies :)

Thanks, I'll try and be brave and stay sane I hope we have some bfps this month on this thread, it will be exciting!

issie339 don't feel nervous hun. we're all here for each other either way. I'm not holding out hope this time but we shall see.

fingers crossed for us all.
xx

Don't be nervous Issie :) it's exciting..and we're all here to virtually hold each others hand

Sounds like you are the first! My period would be due 26th April if I'm following my most common 28 day cycle.

Oh no, I feel nervous being first for some reason!!! I'm not feeling pregnant vibes at the moment so not hopeful

issie339....AF due on 24 so I think you maybe first in line this time x

Issie-Presuming the next few days give me negative OPKs I'll be testing around the same time :)

Brooke I definitely wondered that. TMI alert, we dtd the other night (not ttc yet though) and it was rather erm, messy afterwards! I don't think theres any real evidence about positions, although would love to hear it if anyone has any.

I feel like too many people 'know' - no one will know officially (as in we won't rush round telling people) but recently a lot of people have been asking 'will you try after you get married?' and its difficult to say no when I'm excited! We also have a couple of friends who have revealed that they will be trying roughly the same time as us. Some of our friends lack boundaries I think!

But I always drop into convo that it might take a long time. Our families have been too polite to ask (fortunately!) so it'll be a surprise for some anyway.

Issie I'm on CD3 and AF is still in full force so he's got a few days to get over it, ha! I have quite a short cycle though, so might have to get busy soon after AF disappears! But yes, how dare he! I might confiscate his football boots in future

Hi Dreaming, sounds like you're in the right place!

MaybeMrs, fingers crossed for your OH's foot! How dare he break his foot whilst you're ttc!! hope he's ok.

Brooke, yeh that sounds about right, 2 weeks off 34 is cd20 so if you don't get a positive in the next few days you've probably ov already.

I'd be POAS 22/23 April, am I the first????!!

Aw no maybemrsmum2016. ...hope he's ok... x

Hi dreamingofourbaby....
welcome to the thread and to all us ttc crazy ladies

it's lovely to have ppl to natter to about our crazy thoughts and feelings.

these ladies have put my mind at ease so much over past few days as no one knows I'm ttc either.

hopefully we can all share our adventures along the way. x

Hi Dreaming. Hope your journey on these threads is a short one!

DH seems to be coping better with his foot and special boot after breaking his foot on thursday! Hopefully by fertile time he'll be in the mood for some rudeness!

Anyone else due to have AF/POAS on 4th May?

Hey Ladies

My husband and I are planning to try for a baby this month (cycle I should say but getting used to the terms). I am on cycle day 1 and an beyond excited to start trying.

We have been married nearly 6 years and been together nearly 10 when we met at university. In that time we have travelled, built our careers and bought our dream family home. We were waiting for my maternity pay to kick in (you had to work in the company two years), however that changed a couple of months ago to one year so we are going to start trying as I have been with the firm over a year. Sounds superficial to put it off for my maternity pay, but just wanted to be sensible.

We have always been quite healthy but I have started to change the food in our cupboards a little to include some conception friendly food and also received my vitamins today in the post.

We are keeping this to ourselves as we don't want the pressure from family and friends as they are not expecting us to try until next year. Hence the reaching out to have someone to talk to about this. I have three sisters, of which two are also trying to conceive, but am keeping it from them too as its something I think my husband and I can cherish as our own.

Would love some advise / support / natter!

I am 29, husband is 31 and we are finally ready to start this journey.

Would love some Mumsnet friends along for the journey too

Violet- I ran out of cheapy OPKs so accidently popped into the pharmacy close to where I work (no other shops within 2 miles) I don't drive either :( the only OPKs they had were clearblue, so I waited the recommended 4 hours without peeing! 4 hours! And it was negative :( going to do it for the next few days and if they're still negative I guess I've already ov'd. Cd21 today, my cycle is never longer than 34 days, so in theory of ovulation occurs 2 weeks before AF, I should ov no later than Cd22, tomorrow, does that sound right to you guys?

Hi littlebunny. ..welcome and sorry to hear about your mc...

violetibiza88. ..no up to now I've just had 1 line and then today there was Def 2 but 1 lighter than the other...it says on instructions that lines should be similar in colour but one maybe slightly lighter...so I'm hoping tomoz both will be similar in colour x
