I did another hpt purple and it's fairly light, I also got another one from a different brand but peed all over the window and flooded it with my powerful jet stream.

As for preserving semen would it not be better to heat it at body temperature? Put it in an egg and convince a hen to sit on it till you ovulate or something? X

purplebella · 09/11/2016 07:19

dazed that sounds really tough. writer has a good theory, I wonder if you could?!
B/f probably has caused hormonal changes writer
As for me, just did another hpt and is still very light. Is it worth trying another brand?

Writerwannabe83 · 08/11/2016 22:20

Oh no Sad

Is there any way he can leave you sperm and then you AI around ovulation time?

Can sperm be refrigerated or frozen?? Grin

Dazedandconfusedtoomuchpeppa · 08/11/2016 22:04

Congrats on the BFPS!!

Sorry to everyone who is out this month Sad

I'm feeling certain I'm out this month and worked out dates and if I keep averaging 35 day cycles it'll be March before we have a chance of catching ovulation Sad . Husband works offshore.

Writerwannabe83 · 08/11/2016 20:30

Currently at the end of CD36 when all other cycles have been 31/32 days. I ovulated a few days late this month though so it's no surprise my period isn't here yet. I took a HPT yesterday which was a BFN but I expected that anyway.

I'm fully expecting my period to arrive tomorrow.

This cycle I decided to stop breast feeding my DS so I also wonder if hormonal changes are impacting on my usual cycle too.

Thanks blue purple flapper.lf it wasn't for the sore throat l have, l would have gladly drowned my misery in some vodka. I have accepted that it's not meant to be and if I think of ttc again, l will surely drive myself insane lol.
Best of luck dani.hope it happens for you soon dear. It just takes over your life and a bfp is all you would want.
Hope more bfps come this Nov. Rooting for everyone! !!

Oh yay another BFP!!!! Congrats flipper!! Grin

purplebella · 08/11/2016 19:26

Lol flapper looks like we have! I'm gonna test again tomorrow, I've got 2 cheapies left

danigrace · 08/11/2016 19:11

Mimi we've been trying for over a year too, it feels even longer as I needed bladder surgery and had to wait almost a year before being given the go ahead to start, I foolishly thought as soon as we were told that we could it would happen right away! Trying to stay positive and have faith it will happen, I've been taking herbs and supplements and eat a crazy healthy diet and have definitely been noticing improvements in my cycle. Hopefully it will happen!

Ooooh Flapper & Purple you both have definite lines! When are you doing another test?

Flappergirl86 · 08/11/2016 16:52

Don't know where that 'to her' came from! X

Flappergirl86 · 08/11/2016 16:48

Thanks ladies! I'm still not sure if it's a positive for sure but fingers crossed it evolves into something a bit surer. purplebella we have matching ovaries!
Sorry mimi that's a stupidly long time to her to wait. It'll be worth it when it comes though xx

purplebella · 08/11/2016 12:25

I hope you're ok mimi, that is a long time to be trying and I really feel for you.

bluesdetoi · 08/11/2016 11:38

So sorry to hear about AF mimi, that's absolutely gutting. It's crazy what we put ourselves through. you're my hero for lasting 17 rounds. Maybe a break will do you good. FlowersChocolate

purplebella · 08/11/2016 11:09

That was it flapper! And congrats! I literally have the same line as you!!
LH youre still in as far as i'm concerned! i did test this morning, still faint but easy to see, didnt need to look in different lights etc! Might treat myself to a proper test in the next couple of days

Congrats flappergirl! FlowersFlowers

LH1981 · 08/11/2016 09:00

Awww congrats purple and flappergirl!! Great news!
Purple have you re-test since your first faint +?

No idea what's going on with me. CD 37 now, still no sign of AF. Weird as I've been quite regular for a while now. I can't be pregnant because we only slipped up the once on the 14th Oct so it would be showing on a test by now. Just feel odd but it must be in my head.

Staying on board to be -nosey- supportive!

Sorry writer I know it means a lot to you. Will keep everything crossed that AF stays away and you get that BFP!

Lovechild2016 · 08/11/2016 08:38

Congratulations purple and flappergirl great news!

Flappergirl86 · 08/11/2016 08:12

The gorilla came from me complaining that my OH couldn't come 'Bare back' the first month of us trying and someone asked what bareback was and silver back gorillas were mentioned and DTG was born. Fortunately OH didn't have that trouble this month in fact I THINK the boy done real good!

Ooh did not know about the Brazil nuts and almonds...will be making a trip to the supermarket tomorrow.

purplebella · 07/11/2016 22:16

Oh no, so sorry writer i was routing for you. I dont have any symptoms so you never know

Writerwannabe83 · 07/11/2016 22:02

Congratulations purple!!!

I tested and got the whitest BFN and have no symptoms whatsoever.

Period due tomorrow or Wednesday.

purplebella · 07/11/2016 21:59

Apparently pineapple helps the uterus lining become more habitable for implantation or something

purplebella · 07/11/2016 21:58

Lol try googling gorilla wearing stockings! My dp thought i had some weird fetish! I cant remember why we started talking about gorillas, i think it was flapper!
I did the grapefruit juice too, disgusting stuff! And brazils and almond nuts before ov.
Anyone testing soon?
