Hi all, thought as it's Bank Holiday and thread 15 was 900 plus I'd start a new one, hope that's OK??

Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

Hope this works as I've not created a thread before!!

Oh wow congratulations to alm the BFP. Seems this is a very a lucky thread!

I’ve had a bit of a break as I was starting to get too stressed about TTC. Af is due today but hasn’t appeared yet, I’ve got my standard pms cramps though so think I’m out anyway.

I’ve been temping this month and even though I’ve been doing it the same time each day I seem to be getting a lot of fluctuation each day. Is that normal???

Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 18:18

@MrsPandigital wow congratulations, and an amazing line too! What dpo are you? I have read somewhere that when it's twins the hcg is higher therefore a stronger line earlier. I'm not sure how true etc it is tho!

granddesigns · 01/05/2019 18:06

Sorry @starkid just realised I meant to tag you re stats in last post but nodded off! More a sign of work related sleep deprivation than anything else I think. Cycle 6 well underway!

granddesigns · 01/05/2019 17:59

Wow! Been away with work for a couple of days and just catching up on this thread. Congratulations to all those bfp ladies! And fingers crossed for those of us still on the journey. As and when stats are updated I am now on cycle 6 and in fw so been poas madly last couple of days and hoping dh is ready when I get home later and we still have a chance to catch it! Strong almost positive opk this morning so it was either over night or today but been on meetings! Fingers crossed for those still in tww and starting new cycles.

Marleym28 · 01/05/2019 17:52

Wow today is just amazing, I'm honestly so excited for your ladies!

It's so reassuring to see these lovely lines!

I've been such an aggy bitch today for no reason and these keep making me snap outta it so thank you all!

MrsPandigital · 01/05/2019 17:44

@MrsEG twins run in my fiancé's family yes.... Oh goodness is a strong line linked to twins?

MrsH497 · 01/05/2019 17:41

Congratulations @MrsPandigital beautiful line!

MrsEG · 01/05/2019 17:41

@MrsPandigital I don’t think you need to check on that line!!! Do twins run in the family??

MrsPandigital · 01/05/2019 17:38

@MrsEG @Tropicana1

Thank you so much! I will probably keep testing over the coming days but I'm still in shock and haven't stopped shaking haha 🤣

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 17:32

@MrsPandigital wow!! What a great line and not even FMU!! Amazing congratulations!

MrsEG · 01/05/2019 17:27

@MrsPandigital Congratulations!! What a line considering you’ve tested so early too!!

Holy smokes what a day for this thread!! There’ll be no one left to talk to next week (for the very best of reasons!!)

MrsPandigital · 01/05/2019 17:24

I am in complete disbelief. I couldn't wait for AF on Sunday...

TTC First Baby - Thread 16!!
MrsEG · 01/05/2019 16:04

@cupcakesandglitter So sorry it’s been a horror AF - as you say at least it’s proof your cycles have some normality - every cloud!! FX now for your next cycles xx

MrsEG · 01/05/2019 16:03

@Fivebyfive2 @Tropicana1 Just proves doesn’t it that it really does only take once to do it! Interesting you both DTD the day before ov though, perhaps theres something in that!

I messaged DH this afternoon like ‘Guess how many ladies off my thread are now preggers - FOUR!’ and his response was ‘Dont worry you will be too soon - even if I have to pound those hips to dust’ 😂😂

So thrilled for you all - I hope you are celebrating suitably tonight! I can’t remember who said it but please don’t worry about what you are/drank in the run up - when I was pg in Jan it was obviously right after the Christmas excess and she told me it wouldn’t matter one jot - you’re about 5-6 weeks before the foetus takes anything at all from you :)

Fivebyfive2 · 01/05/2019 15:49

@Tropicana1, I know what you mean, we dtd on cd11 and then I got my static face on day 13...after much drama, we dtd late that night, I put my legs in the air and my ov day was cd14 I think. Quite glad a nagged dh about dtd on that night now!! 😂

SophWolf · 01/05/2019 15:01

@Lottiepink @LikeTheFruit it's my second cycle after coming off the pill in March so very surprised! This month I used seven seas ttc vits. Tried clear blue opks but got 2 days nothing then 9 days flashing before giving up (no peak) so cant match up my temp dip. Def dtd more than usual but didn't use any special lube even though I had some conceive plus in! Also didn't put my legs up and went to the loo straight away after! Genuinely didn't think it would happen this quick and think it's luck as much as anything x

KatBeCool · 01/05/2019 14:56

@cupcakesandglitter you could be right and your cycles have just now normalized after the BC, it's not unusual. Sorry it's painful though, it's never fun.

Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 14:51

@Tropicana1 haha, well that proves it only takes once!!

Lol I know my husband would be shocked to hear what we all talk about on here! 🙈😂

1990shopefulftm · 01/05/2019 14:37

Congratulations to all on the Bfps. Getting what I think are my ovulation symptoms today so hoping that's a good sign. Anyone else feel more paranoid about what they're eating and drinking since they started TTC? I hadn't realised how much caffeine is in tea (only been drinking coffee for months) till yesterday as I'm off work all week so got decaf tea in to be safe. Even ended up googling if meringues are safe or not.

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 14:34

Poor DH, if he knew how much I was discussing his stage fright on the internet 😂

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 14:33

That should say couldn't finish on the 19th. He obvs managed it on the 18th 😂

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 14:32

@Lottiepink haha! We really didn't have much sex because DH was feeling the pressure this month with the OPKs. We DTD on the 18th evening then got my positive OPK on the 19th and DH couldn't finish with the pressure! Here's my very sad looking month of sex 🙈

TTC First Baby - Thread 16!!
Lottiepink · 01/05/2019 14:10

@Tropicana1 haha wine maybe worked... think I could try that one 😂

Legs up.. will try that too, I always just stay in bed for 5/10 mins usually. What days did you dtd before ov?

Having a reflective thought, how funny that it's classed as 'normal' for me to ask when you had sex 🙈🤣

Tropicana1 · 01/05/2019 13:49

@LikeTheFruit very lucky on cycle 2!

@Lottiepink I was pretty unconvinced this cycle worked because DH was suffering with a low libido so I basically spent my fertile week and TWW drinking wine as I felt like it 🙈 regrets now! Don't think anything particular did it - I did spent a good few minutes with my legs up on the headboard after sex haha. Not very scientific

LikeTheFruit · 01/05/2019 13:34

@Tropicana1 @SophWolf @Fivebyfive2 congratulations ladies!! What cycle were you all on! Any top tips please send them my way!!
