I'm obsessed. I did a cheap OPK and it's positive and I'm having back ache and cramps/achey sensations in my groin this morning. I've dtd for 4 consecutive nights.. not sure if I can do another night I'm knackered 😂

Mummyme87 · 19/12/2016 07:39

CD14. I got another flashing smiley face today but convinced i ovulated yesterday. I won't be using these CB things again I don't think. Stressing me out 😂

powerpuffer · 18/12/2016 23:55

hippychick Its funny how us strangers on the net, drawn together from being in similar situations, can bond despite knowing nothing about each other aside from the most intimate details of their cervical mucus and sex life Grin

bluebell17 · 18/12/2016 22:28

Congrats oky and ash! Yay for more BFPs! No news from me yet.

AshAlee1989 · 18/12/2016 22:18

Thank you for the congratulations guys! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone else Smile

Hippychic79 · 18/12/2016 22:14

Thank you flaming and power for your kind words and moral support xxxxxx
I really love you ladies xxx

Tinkerbell2319 · 18/12/2016 22:10

Just catching up, that's actually really lovely advice thanks flaming I'm determined to hang on a few more days

And congrats Ash and oky Grin

BertieBotts · 18/12/2016 21:31

I did, um, also fish Friday's test out of the bin and stare at it but absolutely nothing there.

BertieBotts · 18/12/2016 21:30

He had symptoms for me when I was pregnant back in April. He was resolutely unexcited last time so I expected the same again. I have just eaten a second dinner and am still hungry though Blush so perhaps he has a point.

I am seriously tempted to run to the shop in the morning and grab a test to do when DS leaves for school. I don't have to leave for work until 10.30/11ish.

minime2016 · 18/12/2016 20:40

BertieBotts maybe he knows something you don't. WinkMine has just started having indigestion, told him he might be having symptoms for me Grin

powerpuffer · 18/12/2016 20:35

hippychick I completely understand your frustration. I'm the same each month. I prefer to POAS from ridiculously early rather than wait for AF but I think both ways are just horrible. We are all in this together and understand how horrible the journey can be. But soon, it will be so so worth it. I'm sure of it.

I've still got this horrible illness but have managed to DTD Weds, Thurs, Sat and today (Sunday). Based on past cycles I should ovulate today but my OPKs are not quite positive yet so it might be tomorrow for me I guess, or I've not POAS at quite the right time yesterday/today. Ho hum. Will try and get some more action in over the next couple of days - to make the TWW seem shorter, if nothing else. AF due on New Years Eve.

BertieBotts · 18/12/2016 20:32

I think DH thinks I'm pregnant, he's been all clingy today Grin

FlaminFlamingo99 · 18/12/2016 20:11

Oh Hippychick I'm sorry you are finding it so hard right now. Its so disheartening when you start TTC and it's so exciting and you expect to fall pg within a few months, then nothing happens and you Google it and realise it's not usual to take 6-12 months to conceive. Then every cycle you can't help but get your hopes up and then AF arrives and you're crushed. Most of us here have experienced that, it's natural to get excited and optimistic, then you learn to be realistic and accept you will be to be patient and that it might take a bit longer than you would like, but the chances are very very high that it will happen one day - and then you will be caught in the whirlwind of pregnancy and it will go so quickly and before you know it you'll have your baby in you arms! Just take a deep breath and take each day at a time. You will get there, and each day is bringing you closer to your baby. As others on this thread have said it's all about Positive Mental Attitude Xmas Smile

Congratulations OkyDoke and Ash!!!

So many BFPs on this bus!!

Mummyme87 · 18/12/2016 19:51

Topanga - good luck, I'm due AF 32st also!!

topanga84 · 18/12/2016 19:34

Hi all been TC for nearly two years now ... mc in May. I have a 12 yo DS so there will be a big gap !!! Hoping this is my month ...can I be put down for the 31st please xx
Baby dust to all! X

Mummyme87 · 18/12/2016 19:24

Congrats Ash and Oky. That line is definitely a positive!!!

So I've come home from the in laws and did a cheap OPK.. line isn't as dark as the control line but definitely darker than my negatives. I am sure I must be about to ovulate as every time I pee in a cup to do an OPK I see clumps of (sorry far TMI) EWCM.

Hippychic79 · 18/12/2016 19:04

Thanks Flaming - appreciate your advice.
I'm so gutted I can't stop crying right now - this is my 3rd or 4th cycle so I'm starting to get my head into being pregnant and when I don't see a dfp I get so down... the last few months big fat negatives have been swiftly followed by af ... but it's nice to know that until she actually arrives - I might be in with a chance.
Thanks again xxx

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 19:02

Husband doesnt think line is dark enough to believe. Hes clearly never read mumsnet and doesnt know that any line is a line and a line means baby. Going to test a couple more times before moving over to the next boards... Congratulations Ash!

IntelligentPutty · 18/12/2016 18:54

And big congrats to Ash.

IntelligentPutty · 18/12/2016 18:53

Wow. Oky. Great news. ;)
I think I ovulated around same time as you.
Got some tests today but too scared to try any yet...

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 18:21

No but here it is this time.

MrsCummings · 18/12/2016 18:21

Congratulations ash!!!

The lucky bus strikes again!

OkyDoke · 18/12/2016 18:20

Not sure if this has attached...

AshAlee1989 · 18/12/2016 17:42

I got my BFP today. Hasn't sunk in yet ... my fiancé and I can't believe it! Wink

minime2016 · 18/12/2016 17:40

Excellent advice Flaming! I tested this morning at 8dpo and slightly gutted but realised its still v early days. Af due on Christmas Day so I'll either be merry due to her absence or lots of WineGrinGrin
