Join us. It's a boat. Full of okp's and symptom spotting and insanity! But also much love and support! We were supposed to start next month, we already have a few bfp's! Our dps don't know what's hit them!

Thanks blue. I think I ovulated on 9/10 December so somewhere between 10-11 dpo.

I think the next 12 weeks are going to seem like an eternity!

Fingers crossed for lots more bfp's in the new year.

Snowdog37 · 21/12/2015 12:48

Hi Canters, I'd love to go to Japan, are you there for work or fun?
My usual temp is 96.2-4 ish as I seem to run cold. Now it's 97.9-98.2. So pretty hot for me! I'm going to have a glass or two of wine on Christmas Day because even if I'm blessed with a bfp beforehand, it's such a small amount and it won't affect the baby at all. No point totally restricting myself until I know for sure!

Pinklily1 · 21/12/2015 12:48

elle, I tested this morning, cycle day 25. Has confirmed that for me Ovia was a week out in terms of when I ovulated.

Lara, OH is at work but I've told him. Not sure it has sunk in yet. Was our first month of trying so I am very (happily) surprised. Definitely hasn't sunk in yet though! I need to get a doctors appointment sorted but will do that tomorrow.

BlueGirl1982 · 21/12/2015 12:46

Pink congrats! That's a strong line! How many dpo are you?

Welcome to the 'hot flushes fretting about every twinge waking up wondering if you imagined it this is going to be a looooong 12 weeks' club!!

Canters15 · 21/12/2015 12:34

Thanks guys. Think D-almost-H might panic if I start baby shopping in Japan but sounds like it's got to be done!

Hate to say it but I think there is a bit of a bug going around at the mo. I had a day of horrid cold last thurs, then felt nauseous and dizzy over the weekend and am still not right today. Why do all these stupid bugs mimic early pregnancy, isn't having pms enough?!

thr high temps sound good snow! Will you drink on Christmas Day if you don't test?

firstgo1984 · 21/12/2015 12:32

well BFN today.... but that was expected (?9-11dpo)! I should have held out and saved the test!
Not going to do any more now unless AF stays away (friday) at the earliest!
If i can hold out 'til sunday then all the better.
I have 3 more tests to play with. I wish I had some symptoms to make me feel more confident!

Snowdog37 · 21/12/2015 12:19

Congrats to all the bfps! This is a crazy lucky thread! Xmas Smile
I had a huge dip on Saturday then spiked back up yesterday and is stil high today! I'm 6/7dpo. Went to the cinema yesterday afternoon and had a really weird super hot flush, felt quite dizzy and unwell for a few minutes. I'm definitely hotter than usual overnight, my dh thinks I'm ill. During the day I'm crampy on and off and keep feeling warm but I'm still fighting this cold and sore throat. Trying not to get my hopes up. Probably going to start to test on Wednesday. At the same time I'm due af on Monday so I might just wait. I'm not sure I want to ruin Christmas with a bfn.

ElleSarcasmo · 21/12/2015 12:17

We are similar DrWhy! Though not seeing each other every day (due to work)-may settle down once we are!

Sorry to all the BFNs, fx for a BFP next month!x

firstgo1984 · 21/12/2015 12:17

lara it made me feel better abput buying them!

DrWhy · 21/12/2015 12:12

Oh FGS sex drive not Dec drive! We need an edit button!

ElleSarcasmo · 21/12/2015 12:12

I bought first response tests this morning Lara. Was planning to test only if I had symptoms this week. Feel quite nauseous today since waking up-it hasn't gone away. Went to a barbecue yesterday though so may just have been dodgy burger? Will POAS on Wednesday if I don't feel back to normal by then or if AF still hasn't arrived. What cycle day were you when you tested Pink?

DrWhy · 21/12/2015 12:11

Congratulations Pink!

Canters wedding sounds fab and you're not out yet Wink

Sorry to hear about the BFN China but o guess it means some bubbly is an option over Christmas and New Year.

On another note has anyone else found their Dec drive has leapt up after coming off the pill? I've been on it most of the time for eek - 18 years and I kept finding my sex drive was frustratingly sky high when I was single and cratered when I got a few months in to a long term relationship - assumed I was just bored, never connected it with the pill! Blush DH can't believe his luck! Feels like when we first got together! I'm slightly worried about people saying every other day for DTD when TTC as we are definitely more frequent at the mo, I guess I'll have to wait and see if it has an effect.
I'm fertile window now according to Ovia so I'll have to wait until the new year to join the obsessive POAS brigade!

LaraG13 · 21/12/2015 12:04

first that's a good idea - might do the same. Not hopeful though as no symptoms.

pink I'm glad you did!! I would have done too had I had your symptoms. Has it sunk it at all yet? Told OH?

Pinklily1 · 21/12/2015 11:59

First let's hope you don't need those tampons!

Pinklily1 · 21/12/2015 11:58

I was adamant that I was going to wait until later in the week to test but have felt so funny that I caved!

Runner and Shelb, does the nausea wear off or just get worse?!

firstgo1984 · 21/12/2015 11:54

I have caved and bought tests (asda) Got tampons at the same time though to try and balance it!

LaraG13 · 21/12/2015 11:49

So pink got her BFP, when are you going to test, Elle and First?, since we're all on about the same cycle this month.

Pinklily1 · 21/12/2015 11:39

Wedding and honeymoon plans sound amazing Canters!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 21/12/2015 11:29

Wrote out another message and lost it!
runner thank you so much, that would be amazing! You are a star and a half! Star

Sorry about the bfn's guys, but on the positive side, now to look forward to Christmas and then new year, fresh start! All shall be well!

canters awww you're wedding will be amazing! I got married in May and honestly, best day of my life so far! And then honeymoon in Japan! You lucky thing, that sounds incredible! You'll have to buy some super cute kawaii baby bits and ill keep my fx for a honeymoon baby for you!

Decided not to mither Dh for dtd before he leaves, and will dtd when he gets back tomorrow, I don't want to take the fun out of ttc, and I still don't know when/if I've ovulated so there's no point pushing it, ill end up sending myself batty!

Pinklily1 · 21/12/2015 11:29

Thanks ladies! I am still shaking like a leaf! Will do a clear blue digi one with fmu tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for Canters, Dubs and China next month!

Canters15 · 21/12/2015 11:20

Eeeeeeek pink congrats!!! Fantastic news!!

Runner I think I'm 13dpo. However had a couple of days of smaller amounts of ewcm after a large blob (sorry!) I had the day I thought I o'd, so maybe only 11dpo. Gut feeling now is that I'm out, though. Gonna try some pre seed next month and EOD shagging, I think.

Getting v excited about wedding. Have gone all out with Christmas/winter related things- sparklers, mulled wine, ginger cake (my cake lady thought it would be festive!), Christmas tree and candles. Honeymoon in Japan after Grin Now if only we could come back with a baby on board....!

Sorry about the bfn China. Fx crossed next month me, you and dubbya join the bfp club!
