Hey All!
Im currently on CD 20 so around 8-10 days until the AF arrives or I can test :D Just thought there may be some others that are waiting and driving themselves crazy! Thought we could hopefully share our BFP within the next few weeks, and keep each other sane! :D

DesperateHousewife21 · 01/02/2012 21:29

You sound v excited with all your exclamation marks haha! Glad to see you back keep us updated :)

Beeblebear · 02/02/2012 02:24

Dh21. Pretty close i'm in western canada.

Still no bfp today? KI was really to live vicariously through someone here. Here is to hooping for the next few days..

Cd 20 and hit 6 of the last 10 days... That might be enough, only time will tell.

Betty, sorry u are havin a rough time of it.
Elle - I also fall in the don't feel any different category

Beeblebear · 02/02/2012 05:17

Oh and I thought of a couple cite bfp reveal ideas today...
Don't know if you have them there, but there are window decals for your car that are little stick men that represent the members of your family.. Pick out all the ones plus baby and show them to your dh

Or

Get one of those funny maternit t shirts that say loading with the progress bar. Tell your dh that you went out shopping and bought a new shirt and ask him if he likes it, then show him the shirt... Wait for it to click.

DesperateHousewife21 · 02/02/2012 07:00

If I ever get that far, I feel like in going to be stuck in this limbo world forever.
How long would you all leave it before going to the docs?

ellesabe · 02/02/2012 07:53

Cd 30. I caved. Another test. Another bfn.

DesperateHousewife21 · 02/02/2012 08:22

Cd30 here too, so glad to know I'm not alone in this limbo.
Fingers crossed for us ellesabe

misslaughalot · 02/02/2012 08:55

Morning ladies. I've only been away from MN a couple of days and there were so many pages of this thread to catch up on!

DH21 and ellsabe you're not out of the game yet, how exciting (and incredibly frustrating when you just want to know either way)!

CD25 for me today. AF would be due on Sunday if my cycle is back to 28 days, but this is only my second cycle after ERPC so I have no idea how long it'll be. The first was 40 days, but we've been DTD every other day for the last couple of weeks Blush to try and cover all bases so to speak.

Bought a stash of HPTs as I know I won't be able to resist POAS on Sunday, but you never know, I may come to my senses and leave it for a couple of days Confused

Whose hair are we googling today then?!

pippilongsmurfing · 02/02/2012 09:37

Thanks for all the info guys!

My man has had his swimmers checked and he has high count and high motility, so that's good, at least there's not a problem with him as well as me, don't think I could cope with that!

So, looks like we'll be sticking to DTD every other day, he's starting to get so sick of me talking about ovulating, EWCM, temp taking, best positions for deep penetration etc!!

Also, is this an old wives tale, or does it hold any value? That, after intercourse, to stop all the sperm "dribbling" for want of a better/nicer word, out of you that you should stick a cushion under your bum for 10 mins post sex? Hmm
Or were old wives just crazy with their tales? Confused

Can't wait til CD 28, can't resist urge to POAS again.

DesperateHousewife21 · 02/02/2012 09:54

pippi I read that the sperm shoots out so fast it'll reach the egg whether you leave it there or get up straight away but it doesn't do any harm to lie with your legs up for a while afterwards as that's what I've been doing!

bettybat · 02/02/2012 11:11

Hahaha yes, I heard the same as DH21 says - though it hasn't stopped me from lounging around with my legs in the air like some kind of demented flamingo!

I think I'm now on the 2WW. Or maybe I never ovulated. Lordy miss Claudie! How do I just not have a clue about my own body??

Anyway, it's count down to site launch at work, and my blood pressure and stress levels are through the roof and all I can do is worry that if - IF - anything has taken, I'm going to stress it right out :(

Which is stressing me out more. Let's find other celebrities hair styles to laugh at.

speculationisrife · 02/02/2012 13:55

DH21 - I was thinking about that last night, and I reckon I would go to the doc around day 40 if no AF and no bfp.

Well yesterday afternoon felt quite bloaty, then tiny bit of spotting in the evening and AF arrived this morning. I watched OBEM for the first time in a while last night, and was welling up before the opening credits even ended. I don't normally get all weepy over babies (I'm more of a toddler kinda gal), so it made me realise how much I do want another...

betty - God, poor you. Is there anything nice you can do for yourself (bit of online shopping or something) that might help?

misslaughalot - I didn't have ERPC, but my first cycle after mc was also 40 days, then back to nearly normal, so it sounds like you do have it covered!

bettybat · 02/02/2012 15:11

DH21 and ellsabe fingers crossed...you're not out of the game yet.

speculationsirife thanks sweets! While shopping is always a treat, I have reached a zen-like state and keep breaking into hysterical laughter. Is that any better or worse?

I really feel, in retrospect, that Natalie Cassidy's hair might be my saviour.

DesperateHousewife21 · 02/02/2012 15:58

speculation sorry AF got you :( back to dtd then!

I suppose cd30 isn't THAT late in the grand scheme of things so I'll have to hang on in there.

misslaughalot · 02/02/2012 17:36

speculation sorry that old hag AF arrived, but thanks for sharing your cycle length. Am really hoping I'm back to normal quickly, but you never know.

DH21 still no sign?

lostboysfallin · 02/02/2012 19:12

Sorry speculation. Here's to next month.

I'm fed up tonight, went to buy some early tests but
I reckon af will be here before the morning pee.

Bought a chunky orange kitkat and have wine. Been on diet for weeks, so won't do much harm.

lostboysfallin · 02/02/2012 19:14

Dh out with client and was late last night so haven't even talked to him.

DesperateHousewife21 · 02/02/2012 20:12

Just dtd with dh and when I wiped it was tinged with blood. Looks like AF has hit me too.
Feel weird about it, in glad I'm not in limbo but sad that it's not a baby and I've got to wait a whole month now.

Might disappear from here for a while ladies, I'll keep an eye on (hopeful) bfps to come though. Good luck to everyone :)

ellesabe · 02/02/2012 21:15

Ah dh21 :(
I'm thinking that dtd might speed af along for me too. Really hope to bump into you on another thread before long. Hopefully with bfps not too far behind.

misslaughalot · 02/02/2012 21:49

Oh DH21 that's rubbish, but like you say at least you're not in limbo now.

Ladies, I have a serious case of heartburn this evening, any home remedies anyone can recommend? Bleurgh

DesperateHousewife21 · 03/02/2012 07:16

Actually now I'm not sure, usually when my AF starts it gets heavier throughout the night but since dtd I've had no more bleeding which is unusual.
I'm wondering if the sex caused me to bleed rather than AF, I've been googling which is never good but it can happen in early preg if you've had sex.

I'm going to wear a pad today and keep an eye on it but if nothing happens over the weekend in going to the docs next week!

bettybat · 03/02/2012 09:08

speculation - I'm so sorry, I was too wrapped up in myself yesterday to see AF came for you. Chin up petal - next month is another day (or something) Thanks

DH21 Oooooh! Keep us posted!

bettybat · 03/02/2012 09:08

And ellsbabe - any news? Smile

speculationisrife · 03/02/2012 09:43

betty - No worries, and thanks for the flaaars Smile.

DH21 - it can indeed happen in early PG - could be cervical erosion and hormonal changes may make a small bleed more likely. I had this mid-pg with dd. Fingers and toes crossed for you!

misslaughalot - Probably too late now, but I find camomile tea helps (more so than peppermint, which a lot of people recommend, but I find not that soothing if I have full-on heartburn, although it's good for a bit of greed-induced indigestion).

lostboys - how are you this morning? Hope the wine and kitkat served their medicinal purpose.
