Congrats toadie, that's great news!! but you have to post a pic, it's the LAW Grin

Bye bye January bus for me. After a few days of dark occasional spotting af reared her inevitable head yesterday evening alongside the start of a cold and feeling rather yuck in general. Would love to take myself off to bed with my electric heat pad and a couple of co-codamol but I have to get through work first!!

Congratulations Hoping

Morning ladies
Well.... I got a BFP this morning, although it was a faint line on a very sensitive test so hopefully I just ovulated later than I thought or things arn't off to a good start...hmm here begins the panic. ... been on the phone already to get my conultant involved but I guess a line is a line so today I'm pregnant Grin

AskPrayHope · 11/01/2016 10:25

Hello to all,

It's been a while since I have posted so happy new year!

Congratulations to all with BFP!
Good luck on those still waiting!

As for me, I'm over to the February bus & in the nicesest way possible, I hope I don't see any of you ladies there Grin Grin

Hoping January & 2016 is good to you all! Flowers

MiniLop · 11/01/2016 10:09

Marmite they should be! I think sperm live for 3 days and the egg lives for 1 day!
How am I only 4dpo Sad why is this 2ww going so slowly!!!!!
Who is next to POAS?

marmiteandchocolate · 11/01/2016 09:22

Congrats annarose!! And thanks all for the clarification! We didn't dtd yesterday but am hoping to today. Hoping those swimmers from saturday night's bd are still surviving in there (sorry if tmi!).

Annarose2014 · 10/01/2016 23:54

Congrats hoping and massive comiserations celen.

Still BFP this morning but its still so faint that I feel terribly unnerved. Last time I was 5 weeks pg when I found out so the line was reassuringly dark. This faint line just feels like it could disappear tomorrow! Especially as I have ZERO symptoms.

Just have to keep hoping and praying. Trying desperately not to think about it. DH and I arent really even talking about it cos we dont quite believe it yet and think it must be a trick.

Spotsondots · 10/01/2016 22:37

TMI ALERT

OMG! I have EWCM, vague tummy pain (?ov) and... THRUSH! Gargh!! I NEVER get EWCM. I think I must be ov'ing (cd21). Bloody thrush! Going to DTD anyway as DH away tomorrow night. Fingers crossed it's a strong little egg!

SoozC · 10/01/2016 21:59

Big congrats to those with a BFP! I think I'm ovulating today, but I just use an app on my phone, not a kit. Are kits better? This is our first time TTC so all is new :)

MiniLop · 10/01/2016 21:34

Sorry AF got you celen Sad
Welcome marmite Smile I think LH surge lasts just a few hours, but happens 12-36 hours before ov.

queenoftheworld93 · 10/01/2016 20:59

Sorry to hear the witch got you celen Sad

marmite the lh surge is very short iirc!

firstgo1984 · 10/01/2016 20:00

celen really sorry AF got you :(

marmiteandchocolate · 10/01/2016 19:18

hello am new to this thread. This is my first cycle ttc for #2 and also, my first time using the Clear Blue OPK. So I got a smiley face yesterday which coincided with day 14 of my cycle and we dtd. today just out of curiosity i did the opk test again and there was no smiley face. am confused, thought the luteal surge was for 48 hours? or does it mean that I ovulated yesterday and so the window's closed now?

toadierocks · 10/01/2016 19:15

ohno celen that sucks big hairy balls! Sorry the witch has turned up! Go get yourself a large glass of vino and I'll see you on the Feb bus! Heard nothing but success stories of those on clomid so FX for you on that, I'm sure it will happen for you very soon Flowers

firstgo1984 · 10/01/2016 19:13

gin how you getting on? My opks are a bit darker today - looking back at my photo from last month they are the same as they were a couple of days before my positive last time..... so you never know!
Trying not to get my hopes up!

GinandJazzHands · 10/01/2016 19:10

Yey hoping! Here's to that BFP roll we talked of on this thread; keep em coming ladies!
celen so pissed off for you my lovely. What a bitchSad Here's to February, clomid, or maybe even the two.
lucinda sounds like a tough time at the moment so thinking of you and massive fx you are not out of the game this month yet.

nuttynutter · 10/01/2016 18:44

Oh sorry celen! Better luck next month!

Celen · 10/01/2016 18:20

What was I saying? Oh yes bloody AF has arrived Angry Angry Angry

Well, that's me finished for yet another poxy month. I think I'll go to the GP to see if they'll prescribe Clomid for me to see if that'll change anything. And go and get my ticket for the Feb bus Sad

toadierocks · 10/01/2016 16:51

celen (and all other ladies in the 2WW

This is for you
whenmybaby.com/implantation-doubling-calculator.php

I've scoured the internet to find this calculator - it's very interesting to see how just a few days can make all the difference and why some people test positive on 10dpo and others not till 14dpo Grin ....... also helps to whittle away a good half and hour!

Hope everyone else is ok, Sigh to all the BFN's but keep the faith queenoftheworld if you've got a gut feeling for this month then lets hope it works for you xx

Sigh to the hubby passing out kitkat ..... useless men eh! they've got the easy bit in the TTC business!!

queenoftheworld93 · 10/01/2016 16:08

Fingers crossed Celen! I'm convinced a positive attitude makes a difference.

Can't shake the feeling this is our month. I'm even avoiding wine (not like me Wink because I'm so sure. No evidence to base it on apart from being fairly sure we caught o day this time, and stomach cramps. Know it's too early to test but can't wait to!
