Villagemum - will definately continue trying... I read the Deanna plan, and have been following it, apart from missing one day because I and the DH have a cold. I have recovered and hopefully the DH will be better this evening! I wish our systems had a bell to say "the egg is coming..." it would make life a lot easier... Its nice to know I still have enough time and that the month will not go to pot!

Jools1 · 20/10/2008 11:00

Heeby - my BFP arrived when I got ov pains early evening and pounced on DP BD'ed that night Unusually, I got ov pains the next morning aswell - maybe 2 eggs

Heebychick · 20/10/2008 10:47

Oooooh thank you guys! very exciting, although DH can't come home early from work so will be pacing until 5.30pm unless he can swing it to get off early, will keep pestering him till he gives in!

nelix that's exciting that you got the same, how long after first pain and EWCM did you then insem? i'm hoping that tonight won't be too late, i haven't had any CM at all until this morning so last nite's attempt won't be any good really.

Ok relax Heeby, it's ok ..... !

smiley yes we could be indeed, i hope so then we can hold hands for 2 weeks and keep each other from testing early!

Fingers crossed for you too xx

nelix2000 · 20/10/2008 10:34

smileycat · 20/10/2008 10:27

heeby sounds like you hit it bang on this month, good luck to you fingers crossed. According to the 2 websites I'm charting on my peak time is anything from today to next Monday as I haven't pin pointed my Ov days yet, although my temp took a 0.3 rise this morning (first month of temping) so looks like it could be on its way, keeping an eye out for the stretchy stuff but no sign of it yet, but looks like we could be in sinc this month, lots of baby dust for us both

Jools1 · 20/10/2008 10:24

that made me laugh ! Good luck Heeby

Heebychick · 20/10/2008 09:53

Cancel that i have just been to the loo and have lots of stretchy EWCM ..... DH has to come home now!!!

(heeby heads off to the phone and tells DD she is tired and ready for a nap when daddy comes homes!)

Heebychick · 20/10/2008 09:50

Hi all, I have a bit of an update, i had a slight twing in my side this morning which makes me think ov time is here! but no EWCM yet so might be bit early, mind you i thought the pain was as egg was released?? hmm, anyhow we'll keep at it and try to catch her! By my dates it should be today or tomorrow so bang on time if so. DH has lost his voice and feels rough but he's not getting off that easily! told him to say he feels terrible and come home early so i can 'tuck him into bed' !

I'm glad i made your DH laugh smiley my DH would have kittens if he knew we discussed all our private bits online! like i tell him tho it's not as if any of us knows who we are!

whitebeaches yes i agree too, try again in a day or two with FMU and see what happens, sounds good tho!

How exciting to hear about scans, yes do post pictures!

nelix2000 · 20/10/2008 09:24

c1ndywe only had one insem and it worked so you never know!!!!

sparky hiya! exams went ok I think!, My scan is at 2pm...eek...I am having whatever bloods they want to do but no nuchal. I never had one with ds1.....oooh post pics after you had it we can look at each others bumps! i am sooo nervous this time round its silly! I guess now I know what i have to loose every time I look at ds1 and realsie how lucky I am.

whitebeacheshow did you get on?did you test again? I agree with jools give it a day or two and tst again! goodluck!

Jools1 · 20/10/2008 09:15

Whitebeaches - sounds promising That pink streak could be an implantation bleed - if that is the case, test again in a couple more days when the hormones have built up and you might see a nice fat line

VillageMum · 20/10/2008 09:09

Hi Cindy, if you had a positive OPK yesterday then you could still try today and tomorrow too, if you both feel up to it! Usual advice is to try the night of a positive OPK plus two additional nights. Have a look at this link (which has taught me pretty much all I know!):

Sperm Meets Egg Plan

whitebeaches - sounds promising! Fingers crossed for you!

C1NDY · 20/10/2008 08:38

Hi All,

Have had a horrid cold. I had two lines on the OPK sticks but DH (as he has a cold) could only manage one bding.. not sure if that will be enough. Is it too late to try today also? or should we give up and start from scratch next month. How long do I have when the lines on the OPK are both dark in colour.

Sparky BFP!!!!

whitebeachesandcoconutoil · 20/10/2008 07:54

hey morning all
i asked to join you all because i thought i was on cd1 yesterday.
i had what i thought was the start of my af [a pink streak as normal] but this am still nothing.
now all last week i had been testing all bfn but on saturday i did 2 one in the afternoon and one in the evening and the one in the evening had a vv faint line i had saved the afternoon test so i compared them and although vv faint dfo different to the other but then as i said yesterday i discounted it because i felt/thought i was coming on.
i still have sore boobs and occasional feelings of nausea which i have been putting down to stress do you think i am just trying to delay the inevitable and convincing myself i am when im not

VillageMum · 19/10/2008 23:29

sparky, jools, neelix - so great to read about your pgs; reminds me that even though I had a mc there is normal life out there! You give me hope for next time!

Heeby - another day closer to D day! Time to reposition a few flags on the campaign chart...

smileycat · 19/10/2008 20:11

My DH just read today's thread over my shoulder & really laughed out loud at heebys comment on her 3 days of bed fest said he can't beleive theres so many woman out there doing what we are doing at exactly the same time, he also giggled at the everything crossed except the legs, put a smile on my face too, baby dust to all, good night ladies, happy BD'ing

Jools1 · 19/10/2008 19:48

This thread is feeling really positive at the mo

Just realised I got my dates wrong and my scan is in just over 3 weeks - on Nov 11th

funtimewincies · 19/10/2008 19:44

Thanks for the congrats ladies, it still hasn't sunk in yet .

Welcome villagemum and whitebeaches and fingers crossed for eveyone this month!

Lovelymonster - sounds like you're up the duff .

Sparky, Nelix and Jools, great to hear things are going well and hope that some of the grottiness eases soon.

SparkyMalarky · 19/10/2008 18:46

Fingers crossed heebs - we'll start a thread as soon as you get your BFP! In the meantime, I hope you're far too busy for MN

Nelix - my scan is 6 Nov too (will be 12+6 eek!!) What time? Mine's 11:30 and will include a Nuchal...how have the exams been going? I lost 9 lbs, but have gained one back - not throwing up every day (just sometimes) but have gone off soo much food - although made myself sick yesterday having been totally off sweets, I then had a huge sugar craving and I really suffered as a result!!

Jools - don't worry about the lack of symptoms...I was almost normal for all of PG with DS and felt really terrible with the PG I mc-ed - all is normal

Heebychick · 19/10/2008 18:17

ps sparky i feel that you coming on at this prime moment is a good sign for me ... maybe this ios my month, i have a feeling too this is going to be a good month for us all.

Operation Conception as villagemum would say!

and i had to laugh at villagemum's obsessive diary checking, i thought it was just me, it's like looking at the dates will make the days come round faster! i look at least 4 times a day! tee hee!

Heebychick · 19/10/2008 18:12

Hi ladies,

Lovely to hear from your sparky really pleased you are doing ok! (((happy hugs)))

It's so nice to hear you chatting about pg s symptoms, gives me so much hope, it's fab to hear (although not about the sickess poor things!)

We are on red alert now until thursday, decided it got too late for any opk's so am guzzling GFJ and watching for the signs, have DH ready for a 3 day bed fest so if i'm not around for a few days you know why

Lots of love to you all, lots of babydust coming your way and hugs to the new mums! xx

nelix2000 · 19/10/2008 15:46

Hiya sparky and jools...I wont see baby at all until my 12 week scan on 6th november not long to go now! have been feelin awful! lost 10 pounds so far by throwing up mostly everything I eat! exhausted ALL the time, but I made it through my exams and am still studying and DS1 is running me ragged as he should!

OP posts:
Jools1 · 19/10/2008 14:27

Hi Sparky - I was just wondering earlier where you'd got to I'm panicking too - mostly because I have so few symptoms but I feel guilty moaning about that when some people have felt so awful I'm exactly 2 weeks behind you Wont see bean for another 4 weeks and 2 days unless I get so paranoid I pay for a private scan - a distinct possibility !

SparkyMalarky · 19/10/2008 13:23

Am crashing into to say CONGRATULATIONS to funtime and to give a big wave to Heeby!

Hello everyone else too

Have been v v rubbish at everything as have been feeling so awful but lurking lots! Still panicking tho', but saw bean with a heartbeat at 8+4 so might start feeling a little bit more positive - can hardly believe am 10+2 already.

What's this Preseed that you're all talking about?

(Nelix- how you feeling hon?)
