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

bettybat congratulations!!! Thats fab news, Im so happy for you!!!

I was mega early and did a test on Saturday (majorly early tho as AF not due until Thur) was obvioulsy a BFN so Im got everything crossed that AF doesnt arrive on Thursday, this is a lucky thread it seems so I who knows!!!

Thanks both Laura and DH21 - I feel very humbled by it all. I genuinely had no hopes and was so annoyed by it all, I did the test this morning on the spur of the moment - fully expecting BFNs and just wanting out of my misery.

Fingers crossed to you both, and thank you very much for your support.

Hello new people :)

I am not really in the TWW at the moment but should be very soon, I have quite short cycles (26/27 days) but have just discovered through CBFM and OPKs that I ovulate quite late - around day 15/16. Instead of worrying that I may have a luteal phase problem I am looking at the positive that I have a 1.5WW instead Wink

I shall, however, be living vicariously through you all as I have been poorly during my fertile window this month and not able to make the most of it so very little chance of a BFP over here!

betty have you had any different symptoms? We all say we won't symptom spot so please tell us it was no different and we should stop jumping on every twinge - Please!!!!!

Beeblebear · 13/02/2012 16:43

bettybat That's terrific news! (I still can't beleive it myself either so i have done a few more tests) you better save some tests so that you can re-excite yourself in a few days! I say let yourself be excited! When nothing goes wrong then you can be happy about it.

I also read in an article from the Univ that I work at this morning that being a negative nelly can affect your cortisol levels. So it's best just to be excited and happy about it.

Joining up. AF due tomorrow or Thursday and I was doing well until yesterday but feeling pretty down now. Ugh.

misslaughalot · 14/02/2012 08:46

Morning everyone, well after a 37 day cycle AF came and got me on Valentine's Day. At least I can have a drink with our meal out at our favourite Thai restaurant tonight...

Man, it's sad to see my name back at the bottom of the list Sad. Newbies, add yourself in order of AF due!

Bettybat Woowwwww Congratulations

Soooo my magic potion worked then? ;-)

Hope it all goes really well. Grin

ellesabe · 14/02/2012 10:49

snowbeetle please could I have some of your potion?

misslaughalot you are welcome to join me and dh21 in the 37day cycle club. A dubious honour I know Hmm Are your cycles usually that long?

I hope everyone has a nice valentines day. My dh is full of man-cold so no chance of any fun tonight. Thank goodness I'm only on cd5, otherwise I'd have to jump him Grin

Snowbeetle · 14/02/2012 11:02

Ellesabe - commencing brewing potion as we speak - have to climb nearby mountain for rare out-of-season mistletoe - expedition will take me approx 8 days - will smuggle it into your pre-seduction G+T when you aren't looking... stand-by....

misslaughalot · 14/02/2012 11:51

ellesabe Thanks! I'll join your club for this month!
My cycle used to be bang on 28 days every month, but I had an ERPC after my mc in Nov, and since then I've had a 40 day cycle, and now a 37 day cycle. Hoping I get back to normal soon as it's hard enough to play the waiting game without knowing how long the wait will last for!

DesperateHousewife21 · 14/02/2012 12:03

Oh yes the 37 day cycle is fun Hmm I'm hoping it'll settle down this month and wont be as long.

I'm covering all possibilities now, I'm dtd as often as I can even though AF hasn't long gone, who knows I could OV early.
I bought that conceive plus lube so that'll be used everytime and I'm going to sit with my legs up afterwards!

bettybat · 14/02/2012 14:33

Hahaha snowbeetle indeed it did! And I thank you Grin

In answer to someone's questions up thread, I didn't get any symptoms and only really tested because the day before (Sunday 12th) I was getting serious cramps and just wanted to be put out of my misery.

Still getting kinda bloated, cramps but also very dizzy and nauseous as well.

But - and I stand by this at knowing the moment of conception! - the morning after I had a positive OV test and we'd DTD, I was dreaming about how I was going to be sick and I woke up out of my dream, retching and had to scramble to the loo. I retched a bit but wasn't sick.

So these last two weeks, I've wondered if that was a sudden rush off hormones at the moment of conception?

I'm still in shock I think and mildly concerned I'm getting cramps still. Did another test this morning and it was positive but I'm still scared to death AF is going to appear....

Snowbeetle · 14/02/2012 15:00

I have put a hex on your AF. Hope it works as well as the magic potion!!

Grin
Bimbledorf · 14/02/2012 19:06

I've seen my name at the top of the list - sadly AF got me so I am in fact at the bloomin bottom...

Beeblebear · 14/02/2012 20:18

EEk.... moved over to the pregnancy boards - due in October, and it seems that there are ladies over there having miscarrages etc left right and centre. It's scaring the bejezuz out of me tbh. Then everyone else is afraid to talk about their excitement and it's just really down!

I think I'll linger here a while and help snowbeetle out with brewing the potion for you guys!

ellesabe · 14/02/2012 20:23

dh21 I can fully recommend your tactics as that is how we conceived dd - Conceive Plus and shoulder-stands all the way baby! Grin

We still need to get cracking this month as dh has had A Cold. Hopefully the fact it's valentines day will spur him on a bit. I'm currently plying him with haribo to get him in the mood Confused

Laura have you tested again yet or are you trying to wait until Thursday?

ellesabe · 14/02/2012 20:27

Aww you can stay here as long as you like beeble

If you want to start getting excited, you could always linger in the baby names forum which I am already obsessed with despite not even being pregnant yet

LauraM20 · 14/02/2012 21:06

Ellesabe I have tested yet, I'm going to hold out until Thursday-I was silly to test so early because Ive spent days trying to convience myself of reasons that's it too early or come to terms with fact it hasnt happened again and my AF isn't even due yet! Crazy!

Havant got any symptoms of AF arriving yet but also have no pregnancy symptoms either!! Noticed I'm at the top of the list now scary!!! Im SO hoping, otherwise a trip to the doctors for me next month :(

Beeblebear that sounds hideous! Linger here for longer so we can share in your excitement, hopefully we can share some more BFP with you!

Xx

Accepts offerings of Hot chococlate and cozy slippers and takes a seat near the fire.

Totally came up with a fun way to tell my best friend on the spur of the moment when I was at her house yesterday. Her DS of 3 picked up my phone and gave it to me. She said i was lucky to get it back without 100 new pictures on it. Well i gave it back to her ds and showed him how to take a few pictures... then got it back from him and then siad to my friend - take a look at the pictures your son took (knowing I had a picture of my BFP on there). She flipped the 5 or so pictures and then dead froze in her spot and her jaw dropped! It was hilarious! She said "Does this mean what I think it does" and "are you serious?" and "when did this happen?" lol

bettybat · 15/02/2012 06:24

Laura I really don't think there's any symptoms to be found - nature is a cruel, cruel mistress!! Lots of hugs and lots of luck sent your way. It's so frustrating.

Beeblebear, I'm the same :( But could I also just check it's OK for me to hang around a bit more? I don't want to make anyone currently 2WWing feel bad but I'm a little bit scared too.

wifey6 · 15/02/2012 08:28

Hi ladies...how are you all getting on? Having a moment of impatience this morning...8 days to go til AF due. Sad
I have been really good & not stressing or obsessing but this morning I have woke up very impatient to know. Silly I know! Have taken on an extra work project to keep me busy so I hope that helps!
