I'm feeling positive about this next cycle. Due rtd tomorrow.

If it's as long as the one I'm just finishing I'll be due sometime in early May so thought I'd do the honours and polish down the bus, stack it full of champagne and nibbles and start the engine!

Who's with me?

Hello, have been trying not to be too obsessed this month - and my stats have been lost along the way.. if you do update again can you put them in? Its just you said they were messed up anyway...

TTC#3 cycle 4 UCL 28 CD18

Please let this be the month! But we didn't do anywhere near enough SWI -ing

ravenlocks Michael Lewis made me cringe...

kiwidreamer · 28/08/2010 23:47

Big congrats loopymumsy

zinnia · 29/08/2010 09:30

Oh loopy congratulations and fingers crossed for you - really hope this is a sticky one (as they say in these parts).

Over here, temps all over the place, been cramping practically all through the 2WW and thoroughly fed up. Feel like AF is imminent, but if so this is longest cycle ever. Promised myself I'd wait till 14dpo (tomorrow) before testing so am going to hold to that as can't face the thought of BFN followed by RTD (now I know what it stands for I prefer that to AF, much more accurate!).

Sigh. SO hacked off with all this, just want to crack on with the next cycle now.

ravenlocks · 29/08/2010 10:09

Brill Loopy!! Fab news, so glad to see you on grad list as opposed to the back of the bus. Right, ladies have done a full audit of the bus Smile back to last Monday and all is looking good, so I don't think anyone else's CD's should be wrong. Have added you in silly. only ? was Fatheadsgirl has dropped off, is that correct or should we add her back on?

zinnia fingers x'd for you tomorrow! I had the start of a temp dip today - which has put me in a somewhat bad mood, and almost as soon as my temp was taken I started to get RTD like heavy feeling. Am off for some retail therapy today to cheer me up.

loopy that is fab news!!

zinnia hang on in there and good luck with the testing tomorrow.

kiwi sorry to see you go... chances are will meet again on the june bus..

BrassicaBabe · 29/08/2010 15:10

And that's me off to the June Bus. Was nice travelling with you.

zinnia · 30/08/2010 07:36

Brassica sorry to see you go, good luck next month.

Well, woke up this morning (14dpo), took temp as per usual and had rocketed to highest since ov. Jumped out of bed, grabbed the box of FR from the cupboard and... BFP! Completely stunned, have had no symptoms whatsoever (unless you count getting up in the night for the loo, which admittedly was a feature of my last pregnancy, but still).

Can't quite believe it, am 38, 4 mths ttc and my first month of temping/OPKing.

Trying not to get too excited until at least 8 weeks now.

ravenlocks · 30/08/2010 08:17

Zinnia that is just wonderful news!!!!!! Another grad. I think you said a few days ago that your temp dropped, on what DPO and did it go below coverline? I got a huge drop today on 12DPO and so pretty certain the game is up.

Xx

MrsP81 · 30/08/2010 09:43

Congrats loopy and zinnia!

zinnia, I'm quite excited to read that your first month of temping was successful as I'm going to start doing that next cycle. Time to take a bit more control over things me thinks.

Sorry to see some of you ladies transferring to the June bus.

owlshoes · 30/08/2010 10:05

Zinnia ! Hoorah, v. chuffed for you cos you were so sure it wasn't happening this month. Just goes to show, doesn't it Grin

zinnia · 30/08/2010 10:05

Thanks ravenlocks and MrsP81

My temps did drop at 8dpo but not actually below coverline I'm afraid ravenlocks, here's my chart www.fertilityfriend.com/home/30395e. Was expecting RTD on Thurs so when got 2nd drop in a row on Tues thought that was it - but don't give up entirely, have seen a couple of pregnancy charts on FF where the post-ov temp dipped below coverline before climbing again. Fx for you.

MrsP unsurprisingly I'm a big fan of temping. Would recommend doing it with OPKs though if you can bear to, don't think I'd have caught my ov date without using both together and practising the tried-and-tested SWI every other day method.

So, here goes:

Also did we ever get an update from Wombat33 ? I thought she had a TWP (what is a TWP anyway? A tenuous weak positive? A tiny weeny positive? Answers on postcard pls.)

I also keep getting up in the night for the loo but I think this is down to me having vast mugs of camomile tea before bedtime - I really should stop doing that but I'm hooked on the stuff.

Am thinking of doing the temping next month, but I tend to sleep with my mouth open (classy, I know). Am guessing that might bugger it up royally?

CharlottesClan · 30/08/2010 11:05

still no idea whats going on here. no af, no +pos.

planning on temping and using OPKs next month, but i dont want to order anything or print the chart out until i know whats going on. need to re-read up about temping as its been 2 years since last time and ive forgotten it all!

i want to know what TWP is too Confused

CharlottesClan · 30/08/2010 11:06

oh and well done zinnia, missed that post when i was scanning the thread :o

ravenlocks · 30/08/2010 16:52

Thanks for sharing your chart zinnia. Am certain it is all over for me this cycle and I will be changing to the June bus tomorrow or Weds at latest. Ended up bursting into tears in a cafe over lunch with DH, need to get a grip! Did a test a couple of hrs ago and, yip, BFN! Will hang out here until AF sings, she will be belting out a ballad in the next couple of days.

TWP is teeny weeny positive... good guess owlshoes.

ljg72 · 30/08/2010 17:46

Hello all! Congrats Zinnia and LoopySmile.
I thought TWP was (Tinged with pink) Doh! thick or what Grin

goldmaple · 30/08/2010 19:14

Yay! Congrats loopy and Zinnia! and good luck to everyone hoping on the June bus!

Am finally on the 2ww! Hope it goes by quickly! what DPO do most of you ladies start POAS?

8rubberduckies · 30/08/2010 19:59

Hello everyone, and congratulations to loopy and zinnia!!! loopy what a turnaround from when I last read the thread on Thursday!

I'm sorry to see you go kiwi and all the others who got off the bus over the weekend, maybe see you on the next leg...

Well, I went away festivalling this weekend and forgot my thermometer, so still no clear idea if I've OVd, will have to see how temperature looks tomorrow, if it's up I'll know I'm anywhere between 1-4 dpo. Hope it's more like 4dpo as we did no shagging over weekend due to sharing a blow-up-bed with a toddler!

Totallyfloaty35 · 30/08/2010 20:24

Hi all can you take me off the list please,AF came yesterday Sad

sillybillymummy · 30/08/2010 21:08

CONGRATS zinnia maybe i should consider temping / opks..
loopy its about time you had a break from updating these lists! Well done you :-)
OH NO Kiwi & totally see you on the next bus probably
