Who's with me?

Hi ladies i think it's about time i hopped on board!
We're ttc our second, we have a 2.5 year old ds and its taken me an age to convince dh to have another. anyway this is my first cycle and i'm expecting af around the 18th. i'm not long off the pill and last time i was eventually a 30day cycle so have worked on that.
Good luck to everyone x

maccy HUGE congrats on the BFP!!

Ok, I am due on Monday but couldn't resist. So I have a had a feint cross on a sainsbury's test and another cheapy. Husband says a feint line is still a line.

I am very tempted to get a digital. Will a clearly work two days early. I know I should wait, just not sure if I can.

I did a boots digi and it says pregnant!

Wow practicallyimperfect, what a fab early xmas present. Many congratulations. This is a lucky bus!

Welcome newcomers. Hope that all this baby dust that's being banded around will rub off on all of us.

Hi ladies welcome newbies and congratulations BFPs !!!!

Need a bit if reassurance ladies . Dtd mon-thurs but last night when DH and I tried DH was complaining he was sore so we stopped for a rest (cos we both have crazy shift patterns we r a once a week kinda couple lol) but fell asleep . I think I may have ovd yesterday and we won't have the opportunity to dtd today due to work so I am hoping all the SWI during the week is enough . What u think girls I feel so disappointed we didn't do it last night. If we manage to do it during the night tonight think that will make up for it ?

Omg I have just realised how pathetically obsessed and neurotic I am !!!

Can I join too? I just bought a BBT thermometer and 50 ovulation tests! I hope DH doesn't think I've gone a bit overboard but at 35 years old I'm worried this might take a while.

spuddybean LOL at the head stand, i feel undignified enough with my legs in the air!!

practicallyimperfect congratulations, sounds like this is a lucky bus.

thenewmrsc i think you will have dtd enough as i think sperm can survive for 3-5days but someone else may know more accurately. fc for you.

thanks for the welcome x

Hi all. Still another week to go before any testing can be done. Hard to keep my mind off it really. I feel like I've been here so many times that every symptom must be ignored, as sometimes my PMT and pregnancy symptoms are indistinguishable.

Not sure if we timed it right either, but the abundance of EWCM should have meant that the swimmers had the best chance of surviving for the alleged 6 days.

Congrats to all BFPs

hunny I was using ovulation tests last cycle and the leaflet said when you get a +ve reading you will ovulate sometime in that 24 period , however , I never once got a +ve reading so don't know how reliable they are I doubt I will ever use them again tbh . Sorry don't think that was much help there to you ! X

Hi all,

Hunny I have tried the OPKs but they are not working al that well for me either. I can't got 4 hours without drinking or peeing like you are supposed to! I'll continue to use the rest of mine but won't get them again. I prefer temperature charting and checking the mucus.

MrsC I know how you feel! I feel disappointed when DH isn't up to DTD according to my rigid schedule! I just don't think either of us are up for DTD every night, and DTD when you are not in the mood is not good for the relationship I think. Also, my ovulation still hasn't come yet (according to my chart) so we have been wearing ourselves out for no reason. He's starting a new job tomorrow with a huge commute so I don't like our chances for getting it on tomorrow night - so frustrating isn't it!!

Yeah squirrel it is so annoying !! DH thought he was gona love all the trying too - sex every night clearly isn't as great as he thought it would be !! Haha !!

I was thinking seeing as it is christmas all of us who are due af on or right before 25th should all decide to test Christmas morning . Who is with me ??

If AF hasn't arrived, we'll test on the 25th, would be an awesome present, but sad if it's a no.

D day today, AF is due to visit (DPO 14), got a bfn dpo 12 so a bit reluctant to test today. Also can't use FMU as i was working all night so will have to wait til later today by which point AF may have arrived :(

Oh well i'm off to bed soon, gonna resist POAS temptation this am and wait til this evening or tomorrow. I officially hate this 2ww malarky!!

FX for you piggyboo

Good luck piggyboo

MrsC - I'll probably be testing on Xmas morning - but STILL haven't ovulated which puts AF's due date now to 28 December - in the middle of a 30-hour flight to the other side of the world, yippee. Now that would be a funny time to POAS!

How is everyone else doing?

Morning all - congrats practicallyimperfect
I cracked and POAS at CD35 yesterday - BFN. Still no AF, who knows when she'll turn up... Will wait another week before trying again. I really hate not knowing what is going on!!
The irony is that we weren't going to start TTC until January, but I started reading these type of threads in July and freaked out because I've been on the pill forever, so we decided to come off then as I assumed it would take some time for my ovaries to regulate.. and now that it is taking time to regulate I'm really annoyed, disappointed and frustrated... Ridiculous! I should be grateful that we came off early - glass half full attitude

The waiting is the worst!! AF is due on wed but I don't think I can wait so I'm going to get a test to do tommorow morning. I've got my fingers crossed as this seems to be a lucky thread!! Congratulations to al the ladies with a big BFP!! X

AF just arrived :( not really suprised tho as DHs little swimmers got stage fright on the day i ov'd .

Oh well at least i can have a drink at christmas without feeling guilty :) and have some baby making fun christmas night when i'm due to ov. Not gonna tell DH this time where i'm up to with my cycle as i don't think he likes the 'pressure' of SWI.

FC for everyone else who is still waiting x

hello all. i am upright for a moment, just long enough to congratulate all of those with bfp's!

I am hoping the lucky thread will rub off on me.

:)

Piggyboo sorry AF got you

AF has been horrible this month it is the worst AF I have had for a while and I really wish she would just go now and leave me to get on with TTC.

Good luck to all you ladies that are still waiting.

piggyboo sorry af got you.
mrsmellow and Lauram20 fc for you.
I'm due around the weekend but i'm not holding out much hope as this is our first month and took longer last time x

Gosh I had a bit of a fright last night. I got severe stabbing pains on one side of my stomach, I was in agony and hardly able to move.
Spoke to NHS Direct and when I said that I could be pregnant she told me to go straight to A&E as it could be an ectopic pregnancy.
Anyway to cut a long story short I'm absolutely fine and I'm not pregnant, they did one of their pregnancy tests which are supposedly very sensitive and it was negative.
But at least I'm OK, I was so scared I was gonna lose a tube, I was with my friend when she collapsed with a perforated fallopian tube and I've always had a fear of it ever since.
So now it's just a case of waiting for AF to arrive

Piggyboo sorry to hear about AF :( and same goes for xxhunnyxx but you absolutely did the right thing calling NHS Direct!

Am well into the swing of things on this first TTC cycle! Got very excited on Sunday having to POAS for the CBFM first time (very lame, I know). We are SWI every second day, and will get jiggy every day on high & peak days. DH says he reckons he needs 24 hours at least between shags to "build up supplies". Waiting waiting waiting to see that first high though, and torturing myself trying to figure out what the chances of us conceiving this month (if CBFM claims to improve chances of conception by 89%....).

Ordered a bunch of those NHS cheapie HPTs on ebay... but asked DH to hide them until Saturday 7 Jan (2 days past when AF is due) because I know I am going to go bonkers. Already counting that only 25 sleeps until I get to test, unless AF gets me first.

Fingers crossed for all who are on their 2ww right now! :)

Sorry can I just ask what CBMF is?
