Wishful, pants about the spotting, but YAY for nearly your wedding. Getting married is awsome, really amazing. My wedding day was for a long time only topped by one thing - being married! Then of course having a very cute DS (him being here, not the act of having him which was pretty horrid actually Grin)

RIBS your morning sounds lovely. I've managed to restrain my self from POAS, but awake since 4am thinking about whether to or not! Got up with DS to give DH a lie in because he's going to have to take DS out for the day so I can get through some more marking. Have tried to mark some papers thismonrning whilst DS playing but it doesn't really work since he keeps interupting me to tell me what he's doing, and then wanted to do colouring on the exam papers! He's a cutey though. Nearly 2 and a it's a very cute age tantrums excepted

Feeling awful again this morning. I'd better not just be under the weather Sad I have very small boobs but I can feel the iykwim?! I know that they are on me today but not bigger yet Hmm

SunshineOutdoors · 30/06/2012 10:02

Wow, wishful congrats on forthcoming wedding.

I'm on cd36 and no sign of af yet, but I'm expecting her anytime soon as just tested and bfn. I'm off on holiday today for a week so now the pressure's off I can just enjoy myself and drink lots of wine. My bbt thermometer has arrived so I'm going to start using that to work out when I ov. Just want af to hurry up and come now.

I don't know if there will be any signal in the Northumbrian countryside, so I might not be around for a week - I hope there's lots of bfps while I'm gone Smile

kittykatsforever · 30/06/2012 10:35

Iamstich what does the iwk...... Whatever it was you said mean? I havnt got all the lingo yet but fx for you it's a good sign, when are you due to test?
Cd10 for me and started early as don't usually ov til next wk but what harm hey?!?
Winkling but not tinkeling yet Wink
Sunshine have a lovely holl, it's just what you need to go and take the pressure off

KFFOREVER · 30/06/2012 11:11

wow ladies. We have been busy. Its hard to catch up on all the posts and we are on the last day of June.

My AF is due tomorrow if I have 28day cycle. Have had on off cramping since Wednesday but nothing else to report. Breasts are tender and sometimes felt nauseus but its probably PMS.

Christelle2207 · 30/06/2012 11:11

Wishful congrats on the wedding - must be close to my 1yr anniversary which is the 22nd. Last year the weather was shit but it was still a fab weekend to get married!

SunshineOutdoors · 30/06/2012 13:14

If you know what I mean

SunshineOutdoors · 30/06/2012 13:14

That was to kittykats (iykwim)

RIBS · 30/06/2012 14:52

I am FUMING! Just been on home pc 2 order cinema tickets. 2 find porn on search engine. I'm not bothered about him watching porn, they all do it. But if he's given himself 1 and wasted sperm ill go fucking ballistic.
I'm knocking drugs down my neck that make u feel shitty plus 3 epo and a pregnacare. He can't even b arsed 2 take a multivitamin with folic acid.

We've been dtd eod 2 allow the sperm numbers 2 build up.

AIBU? Or is he being a selfish prick?

winkle2 · 30/06/2012 14:54

Sorry she got you wishful and yaay for wedding in 3 weeks. Hope you have the most perfect day.

I was naughty and didn't DTD last night. Ended up meeting my friend for a couple of drinks and then going back to hers so didn't see OH last night - oops! Will try and DTD later.

Not feeling hopeful this month :( I always get like this the closer I get to AF due date.

NicolaHazel · 30/06/2012 15:00

I think I'd feel the same as you, RIBS, in that situation. But I can't help but think that our men folk don't get as involved, emotionally that is, in the TTC process.

My H2B won't take zinc / multivitamins either. Annoying really, but I don't want to argue about it.

Good luck with the wedding, Wishful, bet you're so excited. :-)

Mine is in 3 1/2 months. Feels so close now, as it is 10 months tomorrow we got engaged and it has flown past!

kittykatsforever · 30/06/2012 17:40

Ribs-If he's been spanking during the 2wk ov time I'd be pissed too, it's like you say, we have to put our lives on hold for so long in the whole process and go without so much, if they can't manage to not wank for 2wks when they are getting sex eod then they are selfish, it's like you say the swimmers need chance to build up and he can spank away to his hearts content for the following 9 months 2 wks!!
Winkle I think you've dtd enough this month!! A night out is as good for you as dtd I reacon, takes your mind off it for a night and relax, ( well that's my plan tonight)
Can't believe some of you girls are risking ttc so close to wedding! Nothing was gona stop me looking fabulous thin on my wedding day!!
Fx for late summer weather for you all xx

winkle2 · 30/06/2012 18:24

Now I know I said I didn't feel hopeful earlier on today but we all know our emotions go up and down during 2ww so bear with me!

Firstly I've been having mild cramps today and yesterday .

Then today I was walking to Sainsbury's thinking about babies (as you do) and I was thinking about girls names and how my husband likes the name Penelope. And then I found a pound!

Could it be a sign... penny/pound...

I'll get my coat...

fatasbutter · 30/06/2012 18:33

Definitely a sign winkle ! Of what exactly I just don't know! Wink

Weird spotting has vanished again but now I feel very pre-AF - one minute I think 'I must be preggers! Yay!' and the next I come crashing down in AF blues.... Stoopid body! Bfn this morning and am due on AF on weds so may still be early to test but in my heart I think not this month Sad

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 30/06/2012 19:01

Ooh winkle I had implantation cramps and a tiny amount of blood in my cm (I do mean a tiny amount and I went looking for it Blush).

I know it didn't stick but I still think it was a good sign. Very excited for you, it happened on 8dpo. Fx

fatas sorry you are feeling Sad hope af stays away for you.

lollypopsicle · 30/06/2012 20:27

RIBS I asked my DP if he thought yabu and he said you most certainly were not being unreasonable. Serious words needed me thinks!

winkle Grin at the penelope to pound 'sign'. I had a similar thought about a feather the other day...don't ask!! :s

Fertility friend decided to change my ov date today to 2 days later than I thought. Meaning I'm now only 3 dpo and worried we missed an opportunity as we didn't do it on the day after ov ( which was my original plan) So I'm in a bit of a grump now :(

tedmundo · 30/06/2012 21:15

Ribs .. My DH also says YANBU. In fact the idea of fulfilling the TTc demands AND having a crafty wank made him a bit twitchy!

fatasbutter · 30/06/2012 21:20

ribs YANBU!! Angry naughty boy

Christelle2207 · 30/06/2012 21:41

My dh also says YANBU!!!

FloweryBoots · 30/06/2012 22:31

RIBS I'd be fuming too, and I'd be pretty pee'd of about the porn let alone wasting sperm but then I am a prude. DH was horrified when I told him, definately thought it was out of order, phrases like 'not much to ask', 'think he could restrain himself'.

Doesn't mean it happens frequently though so not neceserily wasting to many spermies ( not meant to excuse him, just don't want you to end up feelign worse when we all agree with you!)

Hmm, some mild cramping here. Ever pragmatic Hubs said 'oh, well you'll probably get your period in the night then, we didn't think it would happen this month' and returned to the tennis. Earlier today he said I shouldn't test for at least another 3-4 days or so. At least, AT LEAST, bloomin heck! I will POAS tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive in the night. Occasionaly get pre AF cramping but not always. Had somehting similar around AF due date when pg with DS so of course trying to tell my self to be realistic and not get hopes up, and failing missrebly! Grin

fatasbutter · 30/06/2012 23:09

The witch has definitely got me am bleeding like a stuck pig (waaay TMI)!

Normally i would say o well I could be testing on 28th July so still in with a chance, except am away slap bang in the 2nd week of the month! And judging by the fact that this cycle has been 24 (!!) days, that gives me essentially no chance really, but I will hang around and cheer you all on to your BFPs xxx

Christelle2207 · 30/06/2012 23:10

Incidentally I have to present vitamins to dh with his dinner plate to get him to take them- much easier to take them than argue!

Christelle2207 · 30/06/2012 23:13

Sorry fatas that her arrival was so protracted. I've been there.

Floweryboots our DHs just don't get it do they!

FloweryBoots · 01/07/2012 06:27

Any one up?

BFP! Grin

La la la la la la, la la la la la la! Doing a little BFP dance.

Fatas, don't give up on next cycle. DH was away right in the middle of mine this month so it must of been some realtively elderly sperms hanging around in there that've done it for us!

PuppyMummy · 01/07/2012 07:04

sadly I am awake! CONGRATULATIONS!!

I poas x3 yesterday and the result was inconclusive! very very faint lines 2 of which oh disputed!
I'm waiting to c if af arrives today. if not then ill test in morning
