So if 3 out of 13 of us are pregnant, that makes us 23% pregnant?

Let's get that % up girls!

CD13Star Morning all Smile

radders no harm doing another one later. Are you DTD daily anyway?

footprints turkey baster!! Crikey. Can sperm survive outside our bodies? I agree that easy access to it would be a lot easier!

raddersmrs · 04/05/2016 08:29

Cd12 Star
Fingers crossed summerblush!

I never get any boob twinges ever so if I get any of those I know somethings up ...

Symptom sporting .. What a fantastic way to pass the days ... Not!

Have a good day everyone xx

Summerblush1982 · 04/05/2016 08:05

Morning ladies!!!
It's 8dpo for me today! Sore breasts today! Similar to AF! Could this be an early sign? Ummmmm? No other symptoms as yet!!!

raddersmrs · 04/05/2016 08:04

My opk this morning ... Think I'm on the way up... Yipppeee!
Do you think I should do another one tonight as if I do it tomorrow I might miss it might I?
I have ovulation twinges today - I call them appendix pain because I remember when I was young and got taken to hospital for it as thought my appendix were going to burst ...!

Yea that amount of rules and regulations is going to kill the mood a bit!

Hilarious Footprints and I couldn't agree more! As if there aren't enough rules to follow when TTC! My DH would definitely go on strike if I tried ordering him into various positions etc! When I was reading up on swaying pink, I couldn't believe some of the things some women got their men to comply with; going on the diet, wearing tight underwear, having hot showers before DTD, missionary only with shallow release, taking supplements, long DTD cut- off, cutting out caffeine, checking PH of swimmers... the list is endless. I mean good luck to them, but my hubby would tell me to take a long walk off a short pier if I got that list of instructions out!!!

Jem I'm testing now on the 29th of May. Feeling a bit rubbish today as I'm full of cold. I need to have a really early night tonight I think.(but I say that every night).

AF was really light, only one day of proper blood (and pretty light at that), then just some light brown stuff. (Sorry TMI). I think it's finished now.

Footprints1 · 03/05/2016 22:40

*stock up

Footprints1 · 03/05/2016 22:39

Suchajem- think If I go by latest attempt of ov then I'd be 5dpo today so will now test on - 11th /12th may (although that would make me cd40)!! Yikes. Will know more on Thursday I guess.

Summer- that made me laugh.. Can u imagine someone getting sperm out of the fridge by mistake!! Grinthat would be hilarious!!

Oh and something else I just remembered as hot bath before dtd makes it more favourable for pinks. So stick up on some calming radox ladies Wink

Summerblush1982 · 03/05/2016 22:23

Make sure your friends *dont

Summerblush1982 · 03/05/2016 22:23

Lol@ Footprints and turkey baster idea!!! Make sure your friends reach for a jar in the fridge when they want a little something to go with their chips!!!!

Summerblush1982 · 03/05/2016 22:20

Yes, I'm still testing on 10; might do a day earlier with FR!!

Footprints1 · 03/05/2016 22:18

Thanks tee, summer & Jod for those tips. Hard in my case when I can't pinpoint ov date. There's no chance but I'll certainly try. Just smiling as can imagine I'd be like.." Ermm not tonight DH I don't think.. Hang on Ermm let me check my opk first and then alkaline test and then my cslendar . Ermm no not this way you got to be on top" That would def put him off the whole ttc thing. Ha ha I'll see what I can do though! WinkOn the tablets and trying my best.

Gyne on thurs- it couldn't come sooner.

At least today no cramps or positive opks or any symptoms anymore. So I'm fingers X'd I successfully ovulated!

I'm convinced I've put on weight from eating soooo many chocolate Brazil nuts!!

Welcome ima , looking forward to sharing our ttc journeys.

Parney- non wired sports bras or crop tops are good for sleeping in if u have sore boobs. I remember that was all I could wear.

Jod- yes pink seem to favour less calories and lots of milk and yogurts.

Now this is slightly crazy I know but I received a turkey baster today in post which I ordered as I've always wanted one and suddenly thought wouldn't it be much easier if we could collect the swimmers in a jar as and when partners were able to fill the jar and we use it ourselves with a turkey baster at our own leisure!! When they are out we would inject ourselves and do a handstand or something !? Much easier to get the timing right. Blush

physicskate · 03/05/2016 22:17

4dpo CD23

Used OPKs and BBT to confirm... So TWW it is! We shall see nim!! not symptom spotting at all Too many acronyms in one sentence (I must be a teacher)...

But it is early days at cycle 1, so still figuring out quite a lot!

Sucha can you update me for the 11th please! Ta!

Tee4me · 03/05/2016 22:15

I'll be testing on 21st Jem as I have a hen do that night Grin x

Stupid phone not refreshing so I miss half the conversation.

Hi Jod, we are cycle twins, first cycle post coil too. Fingers crossed for our bfps. I'm hoping to sway pink but I'm not going to do anything about it, just make sure there is plenty of dtd before ov.

Physics, didn't realise you were already into 2ww. Good luck.

Welcome imav. I'm going to use opk sticks from CD 10 just to reassure myself all is working as it should. I get a little buzz when I see the line go super dark.

raddersmrs · 03/05/2016 22:09

I was eating well... Then all I've done this weekend is eat biscuits, cakes and chocolate! Hope my little eggs aren't effected.

I will be swaying one way or the other if we have a second so I'm with you all there xx

SuchaJem · 03/05/2016 22:08

I've lost 2lbs since Saturday doing this, so win-win hopefully! I'm just very conscious that the 1200cals I chose to eat are full of goodness. Been having lots of spinach and blueberries. Still want my body to be healthy and not undernourished at such an important time.
I hope the graduates stay with us to share scans!

Nim we are now cycle twins!

Nimisha · 03/05/2016 21:59

Cd3 Star and waiting for the witch to depart so I can get some warm up dtd in before FW.trying to stay positive.

Good luck tee, Racja and Jem for your FW. Hope the 2WW passes quickly Mimi and Summer (are you next to test?)

Footprints good luck with gynae appointment.

Physics, are you waiting for ov? Are you doing OPKs? I'm going to start again from CD 9. Its hard to keep track of everyone. And welcome Calvin.

Jodders · 03/05/2016 21:58

This is the first I have really thought about it. To be honest I need to lose a few pounds as have ballooned recently so it wouldn't do any harm to restrict calories anyway.

Summerblush1982 · 03/05/2016 21:57

Tee, not sure how long it took but will find out. :-) I agree and think there is some weight behind the theory. I would be swaying pink too if I had boys. I would just want to give it a go and see! You will have to let us know how you get on :-)
