The late November/ Early December Transatlantic flight!

[Pipbin]

Welcome aboard ladies.
Please be seated, you may undo your seatbelts as soon as you see the SWI sign light up.

I'll be coming round with cake, biscuits and wine.

Come on girls, we can do it this month.

Heads held high and legs akimbo, off we go.

Yay, congratulations on your BFP. Fingers crossed for lots more to come.

I have ages to wait too, i'm on CD9 and my average ovulation day (although only been charting for two cycles) is CD18. DH and I have booked 4 nights away in Wales (CD16-CD20), he thinks we will be doing lots of walking and climbing Snowdon. I plan on us spending the whole time BDing!

Candy I am still getting my head around all the ovulation signs, but as I understand it you can ovulate anywhere from 12-36 hrs after the LH surge tested by the OPKs & assuming you get/monitor EWCM, I believe it'd recommended that you DTD every night for 3 nights over that fertile period. I only started using OPKs this month myself, & found what I thought was full-on fertile CM Sunday night, OPK said PJ was rising, then OPK on Monday indicated a positive/peak/surge. Seeing as the CM has gone back to 'creamy' thereafter (if that's not TMI) I'm really hoping I ovulated soon after the peak Monday evening. Particular as we haven't DTD since!!

I use an app to track AF & such & it automatically sets ov at cd14 of a 28 day cycle i.e. the average. It's obvious to see that very few women are actually average - although I think I ovulated on cd15 of a 29 day cycle, so pretty average!!!

Hth :)

congratulations to MrsC

I have just come back from the doctors getting the results of my day 21 and day 2 blood tests and they were fine. GP is going to say that we have been trying a year, which it isn't quite and refer us.
So pleased that my results were OK.

Oh that's great pipbin do you feel your moving in the right direction now ? I'm still hanging about here until I start believing !! Probs be once go confirms it for me haha !!

That's good news Pipbin glad things are moving in the right direction.

Good news pipbin ... Def moving in the right direction.

Wow this conceiving malarkey is very complicated , we should all get a degree in conception after this!

Well i have read that those little swimmers can survive up to 7 days after DTD , so hopefully BD earlier in the week would result in a few strong swimmers still lurking around and then maybe sneak a quick BD tonight and another on Saturday! I'm spreading my bet!

Also read (yes google has become my best friend!) that DTD every day may not be the best way as it may lower the sperm quality and therefore every other day is probably better?!

Seriously, crazy grin and hugging everyone on this crazy flight I'm so glad I have u girls to share my obsession with. If I discussed half of this with DH, I'm sure he will think I've gone bonkers and most def reconsider having a baby with a mad woman

congrats mrsC and glad to here results all ok pipbin must be a weight off your mind.
I'm driving myself slightly nuts on this 2ww!! 10dpo now and symptom spotting like crazy with tender breasts, nausea (esp in the evening), increased cm etc ..... After saying that would hold out this month till AF showed I cracked and used an internet cheapie I had left and poas-BPN :( so guessing the may not be my month again. quite upset about it and wished I hadn't-think seeing AF come is easier than seeing a BPN so should have got rid of all preg tests to avoid temptation!! with this one nearly convinced myself that could see a faint line and did the whole putting in the light and different angles lol but pretty sure it's not there. sorry for the moan but can't tell DH yet as he'll be really disappointed and guess there's still hope as temps still way up above cover line-maybe just tested too early.

I thought the cheapy tests were not as sensitive & believe sensitives are only really accurate from 11dpo ddas so there is a glimmer of hope. And I think you're right, it is easier getting AF than BFN (or BFP then AF/MC anyway...) rather than being disappointed & just waiting for AF to show up. I shall only be testing if I'm late... Fingers crossed for you.

Congratulations MrsC!!

AF has gone, I'm taking my temperature every morning (6.15am!) and the SWI will start this weekend and continue until we get a BFP or AF returns. Not taking any chances this month but I think the novelty will wear off for poor DH by week 3!

So glad things have come up well with the tests pipbin and it's great your doc is putting you forward, ours say come back in 2 years...

Struck down by a sickness bug at the very worst time of the month. It's day 13!

Poor you cejay that's never good but esp when TTC :( I got cystitis the first month we were TTC exactly at the wrong time...

Primal I am 36 so I think they understand that we need to get things moving.
Also I have found that in all aspects health GPs have been nicer to me since I've been a teacher.

Oh dear QTPie that's a shame, although, whilst I quite understand the inclination towards acceptance that AF will come, it isn't over until the fat old bag sings!!

Pipbin do you think they think you're deserving of sympathy then, as a teacher? :)

Sorry been MIA recently. Trying not be too obsessive about this TTC malarky this month. Too many people to write individual comments to after a couple of weeks. Just hope you all have a good month.

CD13 here. Almost cried yesterday when I had been out for a wee run/swim to come hope to spotting. So disheartening when I've been doing almost everything right this month. However the spotting was like CM jelly (TMI?!)with only a little brown and it's now disappeared. Just discovered what I think is some stretchy EWCM AND my dh is coming home today after working away so hopefully I will be ovulating soon. He might be away again on Monday so let's hope I don't ov late.

Chunky not that, it's that doctors talk to you like an intelligent adult when you are a teacher, or so it seems to me anyway.

QTPie sorry about the BFN.

CD29 here and AF due today. Hope she stays away.

Wishing everyone else lots of luck.

Hi ladies would love to jump on board ... been thinking whether to board or not due to a couple of disappointing cycles. This is cycle no 3 AF due today - thinking to sneak out to get a test or two.... No sign of Af yet but weird bubbling in lower abdomen - any recommendations as to type of tests I should get??

exited

Laffytaffyx. I've heard the Superdrug tests are good. Or of course you could go with the first response early tests. Good luck, hope AF hasn't shown up.

Never noticed that myself Pipbin, just get the raised eyebrow that implies the 'are you mad??!!!' thought...

Hi all,

Have been napping so far on this flight, have woken up for dinner to be served on my lap but only CD 10 of 32 so might resume napping afterwards

Good luck everyone and Laffy I have also heard the super drug own brand are good.

Hi all

@ bettergetamoveon and TuesdayNightClub- didn't see your messages in time!
I tested yesterday afternoon with Asda cheapies BFN :( No AF this morning either so tested with the remaining Asda cheapie BFN. Not happy with that, I tore open a clear Blue digi -BFN aswell! :(

That's disappointing Laffy but it ain't over til AF arrives.

I'm assuming I ovulated late Monday/some time on Tuesday, as my OPK showed a surge on Monday eve, and the other signs disappeared after towards the middle of the week, so I'll say I'm 6dpo & I'm getting SUPER impatient. I'm not at all sure we'll have DTD enough this cycle & every time I 'spot' imagine a symptom I get my hopes up. Hate the 2WW!!!

Chunky I hate the 2ww every day is spent symptom spotting.

Well cd30 today which makes AF one day late trying very hard not to get my hopes up.
