that's exciting jools.

No ewcm yet and temps still low but so far have managed to bd on days 11/12/13/15/17/18/19 so feeling rather pleased with myself. Need to keep up at least every 2 days now until temp rises though, but have stinking cold.

smileycat · 14/12/2008 12:56

Jools that sounds very promising, you might have short tubes or the egg got caught closer to the womb than the ovary so didn't have far to go to implant...my fingers are crossed for you, what date do you test???

JingleJools · 14/12/2008 12:13

mummy2olivia - I SO hope you get your BFP Christmas Eve then - wouldn't that be such a special co-incidence.

Strange things have been happening to me since I last posted - PG symptoms in abundance all apart from the boobs, which are neither swollen nor sore. I've seen pink blood mixed in EWCM when wiping this morning, had diarrhea, been very windy , had mild symptoms of thrush and other faint symptoms that I'm not even going to mention yet !

confused - very confused ! Even if I got OV day wrong, then the only way I could be PG is if this bleed is an implantation bleed from a BD on Wed evening -too early surely ?

Oh well, AF will probably arrive but this is WIERD !! I paid up front for my gym membership this week - buy 12 months and get 3 free - so it now expires in Dec 2010 - I thought then sods law I get PG and don't use it !!

mummy2olivia · 14/12/2008 10:09

Definitely not pregnant yellowflowers because had lap and dye 2 weeks ago!!

Finally got a last night and had sex this morning (DH was bit tipsy last night!!), will do later and try to do so on Monday and Tuesday too Then will put my feet up and chill!!

Wasabi I am staying very positive for you, I have a good feeling!! And thanks for the vibes- they worked!!

jools that sounds extremely positive too! This is your 1st cycle post-mc isn't it? I have ecerything crossed for you. I didnt manage to take advantage of my post-mc fertility as I had a bad endo flare up and ended up on the pill- not a good thing for fertility! so make the most of it.

Realised this morning that test day for me will be Christmas eve- due date of mc so am praying that its a BFP.

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 13/12/2008 19:25

Sorry Wasabi, we can't help but get excited on your behalf!

JingleJools · 13/12/2008 12:32

Ow Ow OUCH !!

I think my mini OV pains I've had a couple of times have ramped up into a mega OV ! Unmistakable familiar pain, bloating

Good thing is we managed a BD 3 hours before the pains started, so fingers crossed !! I will be 13DPO on Christmas Day, so it may be to early to get a result Christmas Eve but will join in anyway

In the meantime, I'm gonna curl up on the sofa with a hot water bottle and ENJOY having OV pains !!!!!!!!!

So Wasabi - are you ten DPO today ?? Will you hold out till 14 DPO ? We will all virtually hold your hand whilst you pee on that stick

yellowflowers · 13/12/2008 11:11

mummy2olivia - is it possible you are pregnant? Should you do a test?Maybe no smile on opk because you're already pg?

smileycat · 13/12/2008 09:50

Pezzina No I'll be back for New year
I go Sunday 21st & back Boxing day eve, so only 5 days of skiing, but it means I can check in on MN that evening & see all the bfp from the Xmas Eve testing posie
then hold hands with the New Year lot (me included) for our mass testing day

Pezzina · 13/12/2008 09:18

Lucky you Smileycat - I wish I was going skiing this Christmas. Will you still be there for New Years?

Wasabi I know you're trying to stop getting your hopes up but its impossible for the rest of us not to for you - it does sound really promising. When can you test?

smileycat · 13/12/2008 09:02

Oh I can feel the positive vibes coming from this thread already...roll on those +ive Xmas testers iggy I'll join you on the New Years eve testing if AF hasn't arrived before

Well I'm still on my 'forgetting about ttcing' wk, my last night tonight, had a girls xmas night out on Mon, my works one last night & have my dh's tonight. Have drunk quite alot over the last wk but not tooooo much that I'v pickled the egg. FF says that I should be starting my fertile stage from today then OV Tues/Wed so the BD fest will start tonight drink aided, thats how I was concieved so willing to give it a go this month as something different, you never know most September born babies are results of Xmas/New Year parties

Only 9 more days till I go skiing, can't wait & it'll take my mind of the 2WW which can't be a bad thing

wasabipeanut · 12/12/2008 21:58

Aw you're all so lovely. I'm trying to find the line between getting my hopes up and being too pessimistic.

Time will tell.

mummy2olivia I'm sending you, er, egg popping vibes!

JingleJools · 12/12/2008 21:23

Wasabi - keep positive I had implantation bleeding (bright red) at 8DPO and more brown watery blood on the day I got a BFP - was convinced AF was coming and nearly didn't bother testing !!

In fact, wasn't the September pee-on-a-stick-fest a particularly lucky one

mummy2olivia · 12/12/2008 20:47

OOOOH Wasabi that does sound promising!! may be worth a first response at 10DPO? thats what I would do.

I'm up for a Christmas eve testing party!! Jools- your EWCM sounds like a sure sign, looks like you have had some well timed hokey-pokey!!

My ovulation mystery is continuing....

blood stained EWCM all day today, achey sides and generally tender tummy, sore boobs and feeling hot and bothered which is usual 'O' signs for me AND.............still NO smile on my OPK Was really shocked actually when I saw the blank circle!!! Have been OPK testing for 5 days now as well so cant have missed the surge Am still shagging just in case but am just keeping fingers crossed that my egg is on its way. HURRY UP EGG!!!! Can everyone egg on my egg please????!!!!

yellowflowers · 12/12/2008 20:30

wasabi - I am sure it's your month. Everything crossed. xxxx

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 12/12/2008 19:42

Yay, it's been AGES since we had a mass test (September?)

I'm a woman on a mission now, no messing about. I WILL have another baby by next Christmas (stamps foot in a Violet-Elizabeth petulant strop ).

Oohh, Wasabi, keeping everything crossed for you!

Pezzina · 12/12/2008 17:28

Oooh - I hope to be in on the Christmas Eve testing party

I'm due to OV tomorrow so will be going home and grabbing DH before he heads out for drinks. Also plan to jump on him tomorrow morning (I just hope he doesn't come back too full of drink tonight)

See you all later xxx

wasabipeanut · 12/12/2008 16:26

Oh Villagemum I fervently hope you are right!

Right, I am going to stop obsessing and get on with the washing up! Will prob log on again later is Dh is off at his work Xmas party and after I have got ds bathed and put to bed I nay treat myself to a little mumsnetting.

See you all later x

VillageMum · 12/12/2008 14:32

wasabi, at 9 DPO it's implantation bleeding, I'd say!!

pinkie08 · 12/12/2008 14:13

HI iggypiggy

i will def. join you if had no AF signs. I would know by nye as always get a pain in my leg and by the 31st would probably had a splattering of pink if the witch is coming.

If it isnt i am in for the party {fgrin] wouldnt it be a lovely way to start the new year

wasabipeanut · 12/12/2008 13:57

Thanks Villagemum

Just been to loo and had some pinky tinted CM. My optimistic side says maybe implantation. The cynic in me says its early AF spotting.

There is absolutely nothing I can do find out which for a few days.

Bugger.

VillageMum · 12/12/2008 13:49

wasabi, yes, I guess even the 'early' hpts aren't reliable until 12 DPO (or so I read somewhere) so hang in there; everything crossed for you!

wasabipeanut · 12/12/2008 13:28

At least I think I am 9 - I picked up a surge on OPK on day 15 but it was gone by that evening.

Now on day 24......

wasabipeanut · 12/12/2008 13:27

9

Last time I started getting symptoms at 10-12 days but of course I didn't really suss at the time that's what they were.

VillageMum · 12/12/2008 13:24

Good luck wasabi!! How many days post ov are you now?

wasabipeanut · 12/12/2008 13:16

I'm next up on the testing list!

Feeling the pressure now. Nearly caved and bought a test yesterday but told myself not to be so silly - would be far too early.

I'm not hopeful for this month due to cold related lack of sex but hope never quite goes.
