c1ndy if it helps my DH begged last nite to have a nite off! and last nite we were both saying 'so shall we get started then?' and neither of us fancied it, i hate it too when it gets so regimented and planned. I actually look forward to the post OV time when we can have 'early nites' and it be for fun only!

But like you said you never know, at least you are being honest with yourself about it, but hey it only takes one, my DD was produced from one attempt just before OV!

C1NDY · 22/10/2008 08:37

Simpletwistoffate Congratulations!!

This month is a bit of a write-off for me,as DH and I both had a cold! what wonderful timing. So only bded about twice, even though I was trying to lure DH for more bding, it never worked. Imagine this both of us coughing and noses running ... hummmmmmmmm not a pretty sight! So I understand when he got annoyed when I insisted "Its time, It's time... my OPK stick is pink ... I am going to ovulate". His reply, "I have been not feeling well all day and that is all you are thinking about". Hell, yes! I was a little bit shamed of myself, as I am getting too involved in hitting the target! So now its a waiting game for me, you never know Cindy taps her fingers

Heebychick · 21/10/2008 21:53

bubble take care honey, sorry to see you go but please do keep in touch and if things change let us know. lots of love for the future xxx

whitebeaches oh no!! nightmare! well like you say, at least it's the start of a fresh month, yes get guzzling that juice girl!

funtime i think according to the list it's me and smiley to test next, i'm due on 3rd Nov so will wait until then, def not testing early! i normally spot on CD25 so if no spot i will test on 3rd (cd26) eeek!

smiley hopefully you are too busy BDing to see this thread so i will check again tomorrow to make sure you were 'legs on wall' we did just to make sure and now DH has begged for a day off ... oh how things change, it wasn't long ago he was keen to practice ...!

funtimewincies · 21/10/2008 20:05

Huge congrats simpletwistoffate !

Who is next to test?

whitebeachesandcoconutoil · 21/10/2008 18:42

i've come on
oh well at least i know i am on cd1 now i just have to go get the grapefruit juice.

Mylittlebubble · 21/10/2008 18:08

Well Girls congratulations to you all on your BFP.

Lovely good luck for next month keep the positive thoughts

I am going to leave the thread although I will keep checking in for those BFP's. We have decided to stop trying and wait a little while as the finances are becoming tight and we need to re-assess as we're not sure on the security of Hubby's job!!

GOOD LUCK every one xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Heebychick · 21/10/2008 16:09

Hi i just have to say my (.)(.) are so painful i might have to take my bra off when i get home! never had this with OV before but i'm hoping its a sign of a strong healthy egg!

I know it's not but more to do with Oestrogen being rich around this time! sadly!

Heebychick · 21/10/2008 14:48

simple wow that is such great news!! well done girly!! you are our shining star for this month, hopefully we'll all follow in your footsteps!

wanabe ahh thank you honey, i hope that i can live up to your expectations! we have hopefully timed it just right and will have another go tonight just to make sure!
I hope your Bding fest can start soon so you can join us on the 2 week wait!

I'm actually enjoying the wait so far, ok so it's day 1 but it feels quite exciting. One thing has to be said for failing for lots of months, you don't build your hopes up as much i'm sure - i feel ready to do the waiting and not anxious to test early - still remind me of this in 2 weeks ok!!!

smiley you and i are exactly the same huh, i am so excited for you, i wish i had updated my FF, i've only just started with it and not sure how to use it properly yet and chart everything, how do you check your cervix? does it change when you OV?

WanabeMum · 21/10/2008 14:04

Wow simple congratualtions!!!!!!!!!!!! this thread is so positive at the moment!

Heeby sounds like you're going to be the next BFP ??? (((fingers tightly crossed)))

Wasabi i feel like you, wish that i could hurry up with the BD-ing now so i can get my BFP. Only CD8 so hoping OV will hurry up!! (doubtful as didn't OV till CD21 last month!!)

wasabipeanut · 21/10/2008 14:01

Oh God I congratulated the wrong person. Congratulations Simpletwistoffate.

Hopefully smiley I'll be congratulating you soon!!

I am a moron - sorry

whitebeachesandcoconutoil · 21/10/2008 13:50

wow congrats simpletwistoffate
hope you have a happy 9 months
lovelymonster i am so sorry for you and i know it's been said and done but i hope you will soon not feel so raw.
well what can i say i still have no af have done another test but still bfn so i wish if she were coming she would just blinkin well come so i could stop wondering am are'nt i.
i am late but i just am at a loss now.
it's so frustrating cos as we all know another takes us closer to high hopes only to have them dashed

wasabipeanut · 21/10/2008 13:38

Wow well done smileycat [grin[ Hooooge congratulations!!

Lets hope all these bfp's are catching!

Ooooh I am so anxious to get cracking on the Bding. Wish AF would hurry up and bugger off. It never normally lasts this long.

smileycat · 21/10/2008 12:29

Congratulations simpletwistoffate Wow 1st of many for this month I hope. Well I've def timed it right this month, thought I was Oving yesterday same as heeby but today have some mild cramps, lots of EWCM tmi & have been charting my cervix positon & todays its exactly what it should be HSO, so sooooo excited going to jump on DH soon as he gets in & maybe again tonight just to make sure. FF says I should be OVing tomorrow so sounds like they could have it spot on, although when you read up on their site it also says even if you time it right theres still only 20% chance on pg, but timing is everything & I have really good vibes about this month for us all

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 11:44

WOW WOW WOW !!! Many Congratulations SimpleTwistofFate

What an incredible couple of days this thread is having

time for an A/N thread I think - the GFJ's ??

simpletwistoffate · 21/10/2008 11:08

lovelymonster hope you are doing ok. Sorry to hear your wait continues.

villagemum, hope you have a stress free month. I got so wound up last month, and got so upset and disappointed when af arrived. This month, I really just tried to focus on it being a "practice" month.

heeby I did my cheapie opk's, but didn't stress about it hardly at all. However, I did find that I didn't ovulate til 4 days after I thought I had... I hadn't used opk's before, so maybe I was always later than I thought? Even when I got the positive opk, we were going away for a few days, and didnt get around to bding til the following night (and then then following ones....)

Anyways, the great news is I did a test this morning, and ... bfp!!! completely shell shocked and numb really. But surprisingly calm.

So wasabi and jools you're right, there really is a positive vibe on this thread.

Sparky BFP!!!!
Nelix BFP!!!!
Jools1 BFP!!!!
Funtime BFP !!!!
Simpletwist BFP!!!

funtimewincies · 21/10/2008 10:20

Just catching up on the news. Sorry to hear that it wasn't to be lovelymonster (hugs and chocolate are insufficient, I know, but passes them anyway .)

I feel that the next months are going to be packed with bfps galore, so that it's not so cold getting up in the night (ds is a December baby, brrr when breastfeeding at 2am!)

Off to my first mw appointment, it might seem more real after that, might be brave enough to start an entenatal thread or would that just be jinxing it ?

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 09:55

Talking of dreams - I dreamt I gave birth to twins last night - but they were Siamese cats !! I think one was running round the house and I couldn't catch it to breast feed or something - loads of traumas and tears - very bizarre

I do have two siamese cats and have lots of breeder friends, but still - wierd !!

VillageMum · 21/10/2008 09:47

Heeby, our posts just crossed - thanks to you for being there too! I really hope all your hard work in the last few days pays off! I think the experience of mc can be a test of a relationship in some ways. My DH is lovely and always trying to help; what we've both had to realise is that maybe not trying to 'fix' things so desperately this month might be a better way forward... Anyway I really, really hope this is your month! Now for the two week wait?

VillageMum · 21/10/2008 09:40

Thanks wasabipeanut, smileycat, Cindy - I'm just going to try to take this month as it comes and will try not to be too much of a basket case on here! This is such a supportive thread and I'm really grateful to you all. x
Jools, many congrats and hoping I'll have the same luck as you in the next cycle!

Heebychick · 21/10/2008 09:36

Hi ladies,
jools thanks for that, it really sounds like i've given it the best chance possible now, it's so reassuring to chat to you ladies! - and just to give you a nice (!) picture i was cycling my legs in the air for 20 minutes afterwards just to help those lil swimmers! nice huh.

villagemum i'm so pleased for you, it's wonderful that you have had chance to have a good heart to heart with your DH, my DH acted quite cold for a while and it was only when we talked it through that i found out actually he was feeling just as blue as me and had taken the whole thing quite badly, i was thinking about myself and didn't think about his feelings as much. So now we are a great team and very positive, i'm glad you are too.

smiley yes good idea to keep going, we will too tonight, i didn't get much CM TBH but had some pains last nite and a few more this morning. Then it's a nice 2 week wait for us huh! the worst bit!

wasabi i hope your dream was good luck! i had a dream about a black horse and trying to find a stable for it on Sunday nite and horses are meant to be good luck i think! so lets hope all our positive vibes will seep through to our tummies hey!

C1NDY · 21/10/2008 09:11

VilliageMum it seems you have found the answer, its best to sometimes take time out and reflect on what really matters. I am sure when you are ready that you will feel much more positive in getting pg's.

LovelyMonster sorry to hear your news and big hugs to you in this difficult time

Jools1 · 21/10/2008 09:02

Really sorry to hear your news LovelyMonster If it helps, the same thing happened to me on cycle 1 and look what happened on cycle 3 !! I'm told you are more fertile just after a CP

Heeby - on my successful cycle, I had ov pain across 2 days for the first time EVER and BD'ed in between

smileycat · 21/10/2008 09:01

villagemum keep smiling at least now you have things sorted in your head for the direction you want to go, thats half the battle won already & you never no if your not in the 'zone' & not trying this month you may find it takes the pressure off your body & you could conceive without even knowing it
lovelymoster big hugs to you
Heeby my temp dropped 0.3 this morning but looking at other graphs on FF it looks like its supose to do that just before you get your temp rise to show you have OV'd. Still getting the CM & DH is still up for tring again tonight just incase I haven't OV'd yet, I hope it doesn't go on till next Monday otherwise I think DH might not be so 'up for it' by then plus we have guests arriving Sat eve & ds will be in our room till Thurs
