just hijacking to say congrats SE and DH - i'm 5+2 today so we'll all be around the same time.

Good luck to everyone waiting to test!

MrsQ · 10/07/2005 11:13

That's fantastic news Starry - well done for not giving up and doing a test even tho you thought AF had arrived.

Any news from Lovecloud?

homemama · 09/07/2005 10:03

Starry-that's fantastic news. You seemed so down. So very pleased for you

desperatehousewife · 08/07/2005 18:59

oh starry - that's the most fantastic news ! Well done. So I guess we are both 5 weeks....?

lilaclotus · 08/07/2005 18:53

oh starryeyed! that's really fantastic news! bless, you were so sad because you thought AF came. congratulations and good luck with your pregnancy {{hug}}

Hi girls

I popped in to say hope everyone is alright after yesterday and also I got a BFP. Still can't believe it as I thought my AF had started but had two days of very light discharge - just brown in colour - which I thought was very odd so I did a test two days later and it was a BFP. Confirmed it again two days ago. Just had my first appt today with the dictor. Pls keep your fingers crossed for me. Still no signs so I don't feel pregnant IYKWIM. Will only rest easy after scan.

Hope all of you are well and thank you for your kind words.

Dana · 08/07/2005 10:55

MandM
So have you decided if you're gonna test on Monday or Thursday - or sometime in between?
CD34 for me and still no af. So frustrating I think I will do another test on Monday as I will then be a week over time (of af due if still on the pill). Have been really tired and dizzy for the last couple of days, but could just be lack of sleep and the heat. Keep looking for signs. Just want to know now..

angelp, as far as I know they can sometimes live for 3-4 days, but I am not an expert Hope you and hubby have a fun weekend

Dana, lol . I misunderstood what you had posted and went home yesterday thinking you had this image of me as some kind of novice nympho!!!!

Anyway, CD26 today, getting closer..........

Any developments with you?

Thanks homemama. Had heard that but wasn't sure. Very happy with a BFP soon whatever the sex, but another girl would be icing on the cake so best go for it quick!

homemama · 08/07/2005 08:40

Angelp, I think you can concieve from having nookie a day or two before you OV because the 'girl' sperm can live for a few days. That's why if you do it before you OV, you're more likely to have a girl.

angelp · 08/07/2005 07:48

I am on CD 9 now. DH been away all week and exhausted apparently so hoping to jump on him tomorrow! I have some OP sticks too, but aren't you fertile still a few days before OV?

Dana · 08/07/2005 07:21

MandM, no I was talking about the testing. You wrote in your post that you wanted to practice

Dana - I meant I wasted one of the tests by using it even though I knew I would get a BFN! Did you think I meant practising BDing?!

OP posts:
Dana · 07/07/2005 14:35

I am impressed with your willpower MandM Practice makes perfect, I suppose....

Yeah, no af yet, so am still hoping. Just wish I had waited til I had had my first af before trying, as now I don't know if it is just my system adjusting.
Don't want to waste my money, so will hold out as long as possible before testing again. Maybe you could teach me how

Hello everyone!

CONGRATULATIONS DesperateHousewife!

Just been reading over everyones news from the last few days. LL that's good news about AF coming. Dana there is still hope .

Looks like there are going to be quite a few DHs walking round with big grins on their faces!

I'm on CD25, getting impatient for CD29 and CD33 now! Bought the pack of 3 tests off e-bay and they arrived yesterday. Wasted one straight away! Middle of the afternoon on CD24 so there wsa only ever going to be one result really - but I wanted to practice!!!!

lilaclotus · 07/07/2005 13:41

dana, i feel the same. i think we'll try one or two months and then i might buy an OV kit.
homemama, good luck and have fun at the weekend

Dana · 07/07/2005 10:31

Good morning

Good for you lilaclotus, imagine getting excited about af arriving

homemama, let me know how you get on with the ov kit. I didn't use them this cycle as it was my first and was going for the "if it happens it happens" approach. But when (if??) af arrives, I might think about it, as am more desperate than I thought

homemama · 07/07/2005 10:10

Great news Lilaclocus!
I'm on CD6 today so we're going to start trying this w/e. I've bought some OV tests so I'll start using them on CD10 I think.
Fingers crossed!!

lilaclotus · 07/07/2005 09:49

hi girls, just thought i'd mention AF came last night. first time i got excited about that... means we can start trying in a week or so!

homemama · 07/07/2005 09:31

Just saying good morning

homemama · 06/07/2005 13:23

Congratulations DH!!!!!
You shouldn't worry about looking smug. We want to share everyone's good news - gives us all hope as well as being happy for you.
Take care of yourself and pop in to say hi now and then to let us know how you're doing!

desperatehousewife · 06/07/2005 11:10

only 5 weeks - so really really early doors.

gailey · 06/07/2005 11:09

Congratulations. Hope scan goes well. how many weeks are you? We are going Florida in 4.5 wks so if don't get pg this month, take your advice and enjoy our holiday.

desperatehousewife · 06/07/2005 10:52

sorry girls didn't want to brag or look smug. I am absolutely not counting my chickens until they are hatched (!!!?)

Classic - wasn't even trying this month to get preg. So, if you can take the pressure off, go on holiday, relax and just enjoy all the practice.

Fingers crossed for all of us.

Dana · 06/07/2005 10:31

Gailey, sorry about af - but as you say it shows a normal cycle and hopefully next month will be yours

homemama, I am on cd32. On the pill my cycle was 28 days and before that around 30, but have no idea how long this cycle will be. I know it ain't over til af arrives and all that, but just don't feel pg at all. With DS I knew the minute he was conceived, haven't got any of those feelings this time.

Anyways, have you all seen Desperatehousewife's good news ? The cheek of her, not coming to tell us first
