The last couple of threads got lots of people pg. Let's hope this is another lucky one.

I did POAS, but a cheapie OPK and got quite a strong line so did a CBD OPK too in for a penny and all that and a Smile my first ever. We DTD last night but I am not sure that will count after the internal ultra sound earlier in the day. Won't the gel they use linger and kill all the spermies? Confused

cartoonface · 30/04/2012 20:31

Little, I can't figure it out I've never had them before but seem to have had them the past 2 months since my mc

TheLittleFriend · 30/04/2012 20:45

cartoon I am also 2 months since a mc, and have only just noticed them! I have just started using the CBFM and have found it useful to be able to link the pains to when I had the peak. I'm sure I probably have had them in the past, but just not been confident if I was actually ovulating at that point.

clickingtock · 30/04/2012 20:47

breaking news from clickingtock towers: a double whammy BFP!!! Well, actually I haven't managed to get the dog to POAS so can only guess about her. Can't quite believe my eyes at the moment; scared and excited and so grateful to the universe as well you as lovely lot for not letting me give up since I met you all last November. DP is characteristically cool but so pleased... And of course it is extremely early days for an old bint like me... Top secret apart from on MN of course.

cartoonface · 30/04/2012 20:48

Oh I feel better now! Well I know I ov yesterday/today so I guess its at the rite time. It aches in my back as well as sides

TheLittleFriend · 30/04/2012 20:48

sweetie great news about the opk. I may be totally wrong, but I'm sure I've read on here that they use a non-spermicidal gel for this very reason?

ScrambledSmegs · 30/04/2012 21:00

And again for tock... YAAAAAAAAY!!!! Thanks Thanks Thanks

Happy, happy day Grin

(Please MN, don't break again and swallow my post)

Solars · 30/04/2012 21:03

Oh my, oh my Bean this is fabulous news Thanks Thanks you timed it all perfectly YAY!!!!!

clickingtock · 30/04/2012 21:07

Thanks so much lovelies. Yes - got advice here about timing. Also gave DP a whacking great coffee before we did the deed - must have got the wrigglers going! Grin

So chuffed that Smegs is ok - what shocking news eh? But brilliant that you are month ahead... Smile

Lots of love to all and will catch up properly tomorrow after I've done a proper spenny test to make sure it is all true and I'm not tricking myself perfectly possible, but I really hope not.

Thanks to all of you for all your support thus far.

GreenOlives · 30/04/2012 21:14

This thread is ON FIRE! Grin

Smegs That is one amazing brooker of a bean you've got there!! How fabulous to find out that 4 weeks of early pregnancy have just disappeared! Grin It means that the MS will end sooner too - yay! Grin

And Tock massive congratulations!! Thanks Grin All those lifestyle adjustments/timed SWI appear to have worked their magic. I'm absolutely chuffed for you! Grin

Good luck comes in threes you know - whose next?? Smile

TheLittleFriend · 30/04/2012 21:17

Woo Hoo Bean amazing news. What a wonderful day it's been today in brooking world GrinGrinGrinGrin

I'm pretty happy as have just been to my friends mums shop for nibbles and shopping. Got lots of nice new things.

Right were is Imps I think we need a really special routine this time.

Calamityboo · 30/04/2012 21:19

Hi, me again, Congratulations tock we have not actulally met but I am pleased anyway I am very impressed by the amount of BFP's you guys get, please can you tell me what a CBD OPK is,I know the opk bit. ALso what is this about coffee?

ScrambledSmegs · 30/04/2012 21:20

Thanks tock, I'm still trying to come to terms with 'losing' 4 weeks of my pregnancy! It's great (no concerns about a Christmas baby) but just the biggest head-f* I'm sure that will be a proper BFP tomorrow, have set my alarm so I can check in on MN to support you :)

Btw, not sure if you've seen we've set up a secret facebook group with a view to organising a meetup or two. If you're on fb and fancy joining, just PM one of us and we'll set you up. I promise not to post scan photos or anything strange like that!

NinjaChipmunk · 30/04/2012 21:24

Yay for tock another bfp, how awesome is that? Congratulations, brilliant news.

cartoonface · 30/04/2012 21:24

Yes wot about this timing and coffee advice?

Munx2 · 30/04/2012 21:24

It's all very lovely isn't it!

ScrambledSmegs · 30/04/2012 21:25

Power of positive thinking, Calamity Never underestimate it!

CBD is Clear Blue Digital - they do posh pregnancy tests, OPK's and the expensive but oh-so-worth-it Clear Blue Fertility Monitor (CBFM) Although it told me I was ovulating when I was in fact already pregnant. Go figure.

The coffee thing is recommended if your DP has lazy wrigglers, otherwise known as low motility. Gets the little fellas moving, y'see?

Biscuitsandtea · 30/04/2012 21:26

Whoop whoop Tock GrinGrinGrin

ThanksThanksThanks

That is awesome news - I am SO SO SO SO pleased for you GrinGrinGrin

cartoonface · 30/04/2012 21:28

Wow. Shall try the coffee if no bfp this month. Maybe I'm too positive desperate for it, maybe the stress will affect my chances. Argh this baby making thing is hard( unless ur smegs or tock)

Calamityboo · 30/04/2012 21:37

Thanks smegs I did the first OPK this morning, just a cheapy off t'interweb spot the northener not time to smack any rats yet but will do anyway cos it is fun Grin
