Dh is quite pleased, :) another month of swi! I'm not usually up for it while actually pg, so he's got a reprieve from 9 months of wanking celibacy.

spidookly · 21/04/2011 13:50

"just poas, (ebay ones arrived) wiped, and there was good old af, large as life!"

OMG!

Sorry, I shouldn't laugh at a BFN but that is amazing :o

goingmadtrying · 21/04/2011 13:53

Thanks ladies just so annoyed that you can't control ttc at all :(

sorry esme that af got you but so glad you get to stay on the bus :)

blue I'd say done do it but I'm obviously the worlds worst am so impatient

Liliana1 · 21/04/2011 15:04

Sorry to hear about af esme but onwards and upwards, Jan could still be your lucky month :)

blue you know it will be a BFN now whatever so restrain yourself (and remind me to take my own advice next week!!!)

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun, brought ice cream for everyone x

Liliana1 · 21/04/2011 15:17

CoffeeOne I really sympathise with the long cycles, I was a 5 week cycle for ages and when not ttc it was ok as soon as you want to conceive it drives you mad. How long are yours now?

I'm at 7dpo right now, not feeling pregnant (not that I know what that feels like but anyway...) have given up trying not to be a bit hopeful as timing was perfect this month!

It is stupidly the first time in 3 cycles I have got the timing right! I am going to start charting / temperature taking - the whole kaboodle next month if i'm not pregnant and at least get the timing right each month.

My cycles are now about 28 days - I found taking a supplement called Maca reduced my cycle by a week. I always hesitate to recommend any herbs / supplements etc because it's so individual but maybe could be worth a look for you?

Sorry Esme Sad but glad you can stay on the bus.

Liliana1 · 22/04/2011 08:43

levana I'm starting charting and ov strips too next month if I'm not pg this month [crosses fingers] Got a nice, fairly regular, 28 day cycle and still don't seem to be getting it right so thought I would check everything!!

Guess we have a few days wait now till the next round of testers so until then I'll hand round the Brew and Biscuit

Levana · 22/04/2011 09:50

Fx crossed Liliana1 we can skip the charting and get BFPs instead!

I've tried to chart a few times, have got my fertility friend chart up and running - have never managed to stick with it but am obviously more obsessed with ttc now than I was a few months ago!

Thanks for the Brew, hope you all have a nice, sunny weekend.

goingmadtrying · 22/04/2011 10:17

Morning ladies, trying desperately to not think of impending AF, I want to just go and enjoy my holiday. DH doesnt really know im due whilst away he just is happy that we are trying and leaves the rest to me :) He said to me last night that the ladies of the party, (we are going with 2 other families) are going to be having a good drink on Monday night as its one of them's birthday, I am just worried that a BFP might not show. Infact im kidding myself that I will get a BFP, but I know im going to worry about it all week and then be disappointed with AF at the end of the week, and then will be pissed off not enjoyed the holiday ARGGHH sorry for the rant and me post.

I know i havent been trying for as long as some but got my other 2 BFP's in cycle 4 so Im worrying it wont happen this time and Ive always got bfp's early so deep down know that is bfn on monday then im not pregnant again!!!!

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 22/04/2011 10:49

2WW starts today. No idea if I'm ovulating or not - might be as have a slight pain but that might be hypochondria!

Got a busy easter weekend booked - how about you all?

goingmadtrying - have a few drinks. As long as you don;t end up needing treatment for alcohol poisoning then I doubt you'll have harmed the maybe-baby and if you end up with a BFN then at least you enjoyed your holiday.

Liliana1 · 22/04/2011 11:03

Hoping for us both to get BFP too Levana

Hate the 2ww MCWS I'm half way through and have driven myself half mad :(

going I agree with MCWS, go, enjoy the holiday, just avoid alchohol poisioning!!!!

Nothing planned for easter - DH is working so another weekend here pretty much alone - V handy when ov Wink, not quite so much fun now :( Hopefully the sun will shine and we can get out the house together. :)

goingmadtrying · 22/04/2011 11:10

Thanks ladies just feeling down about it all today, it's such a bloody emotional rollercoaster :(

you have made me smile lol never havei needed help with alcohol poisoning so will enjoy myself :)

Welcome Asianbabe.
Waiting for my db and his family to arrive they are staying with us for the weekend. Is looking like this is the weekend we need to do lots swi so hoping we can get some privacy (which might be difficult with a house full) also worried dsil ans dsis will be questioning me why I am not joining them with copious amounts of wine.

Liliana1 · 22/04/2011 14:09

Welcome to the bus asianbabe pull up a seat and have some cake

orangehead what about telling them you have given up alchohol for lent? Might help fri and sat and sure a little drink sunday won't hurt. Hope you find some quiet time!!! Wink

Sorry you're feeling down going and glad we gave you something to smile about. Have some chocolate :)

75sarah · 22/04/2011 16:12

welcome asianbabe
I'm supposed to be holding out until next week to test but its soooooo hard.
Ok, so I know it's not sensible but with a FR test when can I sensibly do it if af is due Wednesday?
I was so convinced I'd wait until after af was late but having all this free time on my hands over the long Easter weekend is proving impossible! Help!!

goingmadtrying · 22/04/2011 16:24

Ok well I caved in whilst in tesco and bought some of their cheapy tests, wee is very dark today, anyhow poas and bfn saving my fr for Monday morning but have a feeling it's just not happened this month :(
thank you for my chocolate liliana

Sarah with my last 2 pregnancies I showed a couple of days early with a clearblue digital howver not having so much luck this time round so totally with you about it being hard to resist

OP posts:
Levana · 22/04/2011 16:47

I caved too goingmadtrying I wondered if I was due AF on 28th instead of 30th this month, never quite sure so did a first response test.

Was BFN of course, I resolved to not get into early testing but have anyway... agghhh!

I don't have a feeling it's going to happen this month either but then again have been convinced I was pregnant other months and wasn't so not sure if I can go on my sixth sense.

goingmadtrying · 22/04/2011 16:56

I'm due either 27th or 28th so early not sure how sensitive the tesco tests are will now not test until Monday am before I go away but I doubt it will happen :(

sorry for your bfn :(
