I've pee'd on so many of these over the past months that I believe a line on this!

Carlotta82248 · 14/12/2016 21:24

Right girls. I'm tentatively calling it! Clear Blue Early Response on way home, I think I've got my BFP x

FlaminFlamingo99 · 14/12/2016 20:31

Ba-dum-tssss!! 😀

MrsCummings · 14/12/2016 20:30

And I bet you weren't frustrated after 9 times in 16 days flamin wahahahahaha

MrsCummings · 14/12/2016 20:27

If you insist flamin! I shall just suffer through on your behalf! Given TWW starts tomorrow, and I'm off to buy the Christmas booze on Friday I'll even crack open one early (just a little one mind, just in case) Wink

FlaminFlamingo99 · 14/12/2016 20:08

Goodness there's been a lot to catch up on this evening!!

Sorry Kskifred Sad. Here's hoping this new cycle is your lucky cycle xx

Huge congratulations ThirdThoughts Carlotta and Lynseyc you did it!! Such a lucky thread! 😀 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

OhBollocks dtd every other day is generally better - but if, for example, you know you can only dtd one three days of the month this cycle and you are in the mood three nights in a row then I would go for it Wink if you keep on having daily shenanigans then I've heard that sometimes sperm quality may not be that good. Having said that I got so frustrated last month we dtd 9 times in 16 days Blush could definitely not have kept that up (so to speak). It only takes one lucky time. Anything else is a bonus and increases your chances xx

Jellie yes I had terrible bloating and cramps before BFP. Felt like I normally do when AF due x

MrsCummings please have a baileys for me!! I love baileys but cannot stomach any alcohol or anything milk-based right now 😷

MrsCummings · 14/12/2016 20:07

Well all these awesome girlies are getting their BFP so why not make a little play for it ourselves eh haha!

Not jealous at all, honest Grin! Round of applause to all those eggies and spermies!

lynseyc83 · 14/12/2016 19:57

Told the husband not the house

lynseyc83 · 14/12/2016 19:57

Thanks everyone just told my house s and he's thrilled - going to wait till Christmas Day to tell the family not long to keep it a secret

binkybunny · 14/12/2016 19:54

It would be rude not wouldn't it mrscummings Xmas Wink

MrsCummings · 14/12/2016 19:42

Yes binky AF due on 28th, so totally thinking a cheeky little wee wee is going to be done...

I plan to have bubbles and baileys on standby Grin

binkybunny · 14/12/2016 19:17

Is anyone else due AF just after Christmas but thinking of testing early on Christmas Day? AF should be due 29th but my last cycle was really short so based on that I'd be due 26th.

Can't decide if it would make Christmas rubbish if I got a BFN or if it's a good idea in case it is BFP so I lay off the Champagne Xmas Confused

binkybunny · 14/12/2016 19:14

Congrats on all the BFP'S! Carlotta get a digital!

Had taken a seat sulking on the back row but I'm back in FW and think I'm ovulating today. Only dtd last night as been a miserable cow all weekend for no particular reason. Hoping to have the energy tonight once DD is in bed and maybe a cheeky afternoon one tomorrow as we're both off work and DD is at nursery Xmas Grin

MissMagpie · 14/12/2016 18:36

Congratulations lynsey and carlotta. Definite BFPs!!

Emz01 · 14/12/2016 18:10

Hello everyone!

This is my first time posting and hope you don't mind me joining the thread.

My stats are:
28
Ttc #2
Cycle #2
CD 21
7 DPO
AF due 21/12

Found getting pregnant the first time quite easy but have a feeling this time won't be. Trying to stay as relaxed as possible and not thinking about symptoms too much.

Only DTD 2 days before ovulation so not very hopeful for this month but you never know! I've had cramps like AF is coming yesterday and today but nothing yet plus I'm never normally this early for AF.

Really want to avoid testing early so going to try and wait for as long as possible unless AF comes of course. It's going to be hard to resist!

Congratulations to eveyone who have had BFP's may the luck continue! Smile

janiPop · 14/12/2016 18:05

Congratulations third and lynsey Star carlotta the pregnancy test is positive. It doesn't matter how light/faint the line is and am I correct in thinking you're not yet late for af? Some ladies don't get a positive until they are late.

Loxy4527 · 14/12/2016 17:46

Congrats Lynsey! Such lucky company Grin

Carlotta82248 · 14/12/2016 17:36

Mrs G Definitely tomorrow, been so limited with work xxx

MrsCummings · 14/12/2016 17:02

Ok! There's a bit of hope! Grin
Wondering if one more try tonight might be worth it?

Honestly a straight answer off any of these bloody medical websites would be wonderful
Ovulation 12 - 48 hours after positive OPK
Sperm live 24 hours to 5 days
Takes sperm 15 minutes to 15 hours to get to where they need to go... or helpfully travel 1 inch an hour... (ummmm how many blinking inches do they need to go)

Can we not just narrow this shizzle down please Wink

I've googled so much I can not google no more ha!

Mrs Cummings yesterday's was positive so you could be ovulating today. You could be in luck with either Saturday or yesterday's DTD.

OP posts:
MrsCummings · 14/12/2016 16:47

Can anyone decipher the top two OPKs? Top is Monday
Middle is Tuesday
Bottom is today

Pretty sure I've not done well this month as only DTD Saturday and yesterday (I was dead Sunday and Monday due to germs) had some cramping last night about 1-2 hours after DTD...

Pretty sure I've missed the window but looking for a bit of hope?

Bows85 · 14/12/2016 16:33

Honestly Carlotta if you would just use a First Response or a Clear Blue digital then I'm sure your doubts would be put to rest :)
