Yippee, well done hils

Doesn't look like the lucky bus has worked for me Sad had 2 days of brown gunk (sorry tmi Blush) AF is on her way. The idiot that I am wasted another test this morning and no surprises it was BFN.

Gutted Sad

kateepie2 · 26/01/2011 11:40

outintotheblue don't despair yet... at least not until AF actually descends on you. Will keep fingers crossed.

bumps thanks for talking sense into me... feel much happier now! 12th sounds about right, though 2 days earlier than predicted.

blue glad you're feeling a bit better... would like to see your DH's face if a little voice came back and said hello... Grin

generic good luck!

Sorry if I missed anyone x

Iwish · 26/01/2011 12:16

Hi all!

Congrats hils!

I caved and POAS this mornIng... I'm only 10dpo and got a v v v faint line!!

GenericDietCola · 26/01/2011 12:19

Well done Iwish!

BlueCrane · 26/01/2011 12:35

yeah iwish fantastic news!! Man it's all go on this thread at the moment!! Think we might need to pop a nice bottle of (non-alcoholic) bubbly soon for all these BFPs!!! Grin...am going to get baking for some nice consolation muffins for all of us still waiting or getting BFNs though!! Wink

Thanks all for your get well wishes, I am starting to feel human again today which is good though still no sign of AF! Will go back to work tomorrow. Have ordered some FR tests from amazon so will wait for them to arrive and then test again! Can't believe how much these tests cost...they prey on all us ladies who just NEED to know!! [shocked] Angry

sevendwarves · 26/01/2011 13:11

Brilliant news iwish, as I said BFP's come in 2's on this bus! :o

outintotheblue don't give up hope yet, fx

Is 10dpo the earliest you can test? I'm tempted but obviously don't want to test if it's guaranteed to be a BFN!

kateepie2 · 26/01/2011 13:15

seven I guess it depends on the length of your luteal phase. Some people seem to get a BFP faintly at 10 or 11dpo from what I've seen - the fr tests cunningly have in the small print that they are only 40% accurate or something in those early days. I would keep sitting on your hands if you can bear it? Wink

sevendwarves · 26/01/2011 13:20

Thanks kateepie I'll try!

sevendwarves · 26/01/2011 13:37

Found a good page here on how early it is possible to get a BFP if anyone else is as impatient as I am!

Evening all. Welldone to Hils and iwish so pleased for you both.

katee did you do anything different? take it early? sleep with your mouth open? anything can give you an odd temp. i think an odd dip isn't too bad, if your worried about it discard it see what happens. My sleep is always disturbed (ds) and so have very strange temp chart.

vegas heya. The 2ww is awful isn't it. am driving myself nuts at mo, have bloody cm and for some strange reason my coke is tasting very strange today. I think is a bit early to be getting the queasiness, but cm is normal to get at different times during cycle but is not always due to oving. (i read that recently but can't remember which website.)

vegas i don't know, i didn't start temping till too late to really notice a difference, and cause every morning i get disturbed before the time i originally starting temping (ds actually slept till my alarm went off for a few days) they've been all over the place. ff hasn't been able to tell me if/when i ov'd. We were'nt able to dtd as often as i wanted to over the time either so am pretty sure not successful this time. But just more data to help determine my cycle, (think positive, think positive) Apparently bloody cm could be a sign of oving as well. sooooo

I hope you're not coming down with a bug. i can't wait for next week but am dreading it too. weird.

Bumpsadaisie · 26/01/2011 18:26

Cep

Just wanted to say hello as you sound in very similar situation to me i.e. with a DC already who prevents you dtd; mine is nearly 20mths and her sleeping has been awful since she turned 18mths (though I think she is on the way out of it now thank God.)

Poor old DH and I are practically in separate beds as a result though I'm on CD16 (but no OV yet - usually OV late I think - last month was CD 20) - so we really really need to get it together and make an effort from about tonight!

Yawn ... we both really want another one, but by the time it gets to 10pm we are flat out! Perhaps need to do it as soon as DD is asleep ...!

cep · 26/01/2011 18:39

hi bump mine goes to sleep ok, it's staying asleep. for some reason he started waking very early in the mornings and he can't get himself back to sleep straight away. He's now waking a bit later but still between 4-5 or 5-6. we felt quite lucky this morning as he didn't wake till 5.50, but last week we had 4 days of 6-6.30 worried when i first woke up. Grin i have no idea when i ov, am hoping (if not pg ) that next cycle even if temp up and down that ff can tell me something.

Bumpsadaisie · 26/01/2011 20:19

Cep

Yep, mine similar - goes to bed like a dream but then wakes up either very early or worse still right in the middle of the night, and is ready to start the day! She wants to be up for at least 2 hours before she conks out again.

Is yours about the same age as mine (nearly 20 mths)

If we could just crack the sleeping it would be great, as otherwise she is a real delight and fun to be with in the day.

Right she's sound asleep - DH and I had better eat supper quick and have an early night! Grin

Bumps x

cep · 26/01/2011 20:27

He's 2 1/2. 3 in May, I'm starting a new bedtime routine, or at least a little tickchart for him to tick as we do each thing. Trying to make it a bit more regular as well, as bed time although the time was the same he kept getting so tired he'd fall asleep down here first and have to be carried up, or we'd give him a story. fx it gets sorted for you soon. just the thought of trying to deal with this as well as a new baby (fx) scares the heck out of me. [bgrin] Dh is out, so i'll be having an early night too enjoy the bed to myself while i can. [bgrin]

Karbea · 26/01/2011 22:04

Wow! there really have been a lot of BFPs.

I've had another + OPK today... so more SWI - although OH is off entertaining clients tonight boo!!!!

DoFliesHaveKnees · 26/01/2011 22:10

Hi Ladies

Congratulations to all the BFP's on the bus so far!

A bit gutted today as AF got me 3 days earlier than expected. Had a long list of pg symptoms this month too!

Ah well, here's hoping cycle 12 will be lucky for us. Have an appointment at the Docs on Friday to start the ball rolling properly!

Good Luck to everyone who is still waiting!!

sevendwarves · 26/01/2011 22:18

Sorry doflies and iwish

cep my DS will be 3 in June.

I gave in and tested and got an inevitable BFN.

sonsiexstitch · 26/01/2011 22:29

1 ww now for me feel normal though.

ellangirl · 26/01/2011 22:50
