Winkle, I'll post an internet cheapie to you if you like? :-)

And yes, DTD tonight, so here's hoping I've caught it right!

redstrawberry · 03/07/2012 23:28

That's strong willpower winkle and yes do remain positive it will happen for you! No symptoms is not a bad thing lot of women who are pregnant don't know it!

I'm only checking CM signs and ignoring my body completely. Not reading into twinges. Que sera sera!

This EPO stuff is like a magic pill...lots of good CM. Amazing results. Just got to jump Dh tomorrow!

Ah fatas Can't beat choc orange cookies! I might have to join you in there for some Grin

Congratulations pips

Really sorry you're out puppymummy. Another chance this month? It's horrible when you have to wait so long for af, and to think you saw a faint line is just cruel. Hope end of July is your time.

winkle I know the 2ww is an emotional rollercoaster. Well done for holding off testing. I think it's done me good being away with no sticks. Try and do some lovely things for yourself to take your mind off the result. The days will pass! We're all rooting for you.

Well cd40 today - I know it's early though - and if I'm not pg then I wish af would come because after getting my head round a bfn it's getting my hopes up again. Testing tomorrow, surely a bfp would show up by then?

SunshineOutdoors · 04/07/2012 06:07

Sorry pips that was very brief. Awesome to have a bfp! Well done, enjoy your amazing news!

How many bfps on the thread now... Including the earlies like ted who still count as July?

Sorry if af's got people.. But maybe you all still have a shot at July? Not me though with my freaky long cycles (cd40!) If af comes it's august for me!

Would epo help me to shorten my cycle? When/how to take?

pipsicles · 04/07/2012 06:54

Of course I don't mind sharing Winkle! I had creamy CM on cd14 which became EWCM for 5 days after that. I had spotting from cd14-16 for the first time ever and I wondered if it is a post mc thing? We dtd cd14, 17, 20 and 22 and according to FF I ov cd20 - DH's 30th! It looks like dtd on ov day has worked for us the last two times, before that, I had no idea - my body was in a right old state post pill!

I hope this helps and isn't tmi?!

iamstitch · 04/07/2012 06:55

NicolaHazel · 04/07/2012 07:22

You had spotting, Pip?

Interesting, as I've got spotting too, starting yesterday on CD14. I never had spotting in the pre birth control days, so was a touch bemused by it! I haven't had an MC though.

I think I may follow your DTD pattern though, just in case! It actually matches what I had planned to do anyway. (Poor H2B, he has no clue our JSing - for him - is so well-planned!!)

Congrats again on the BFP. :-)

kittykatsforever · 04/07/2012 07:33

Winkle I used to be the same ttc first time, I never had tests in the house and didn't even track when I was due af! There was something quite therapeutic about it, never got that stressed 2ww as didn't really believe its ever work after a year!
Pip, thanks for sharing never tmi, I still think the bfp are comming for the less is more approach ( sunshine your the only one who can change my mind and no af on cd40 sounds good, fingers crossed so tightly for you!!!!)

backwardpossom · 04/07/2012 08:43

Am completely freaking out. My period is due tomorrow (or Sat if fertility friend is right, but I'm saying tomorrow...) so I just did an internet cheapie test. I did one yesterday and it was negative. Today's one had the faintest of faint lines. I think I probably imagined it. But maybe I didn't. Fuck fuck fuck fuck. Confused I just don't know what to do/think. I guess do another test in the morning tomorrow. I think I imagined it.

I'm fully expecting AF to arrive now I've posted that.

winkle2 · 04/07/2012 08:47

Thanks for your support girls, it's really sweet and touching :)

Thanks for sharing pip. It makes me feel hopeful cause we dtd cd 14, 15 and 18 and 14 is the day I OV I think (according to monitor).

Anyone else really bad like me and stop dtd after OV?! Just never get round to it!

OP posts:
redstrawberry · 04/07/2012 08:53

this is a lucky thread backward hoping that line gets darker tomorrow! :)

I always stop after OV winkle so it was good to hear pips got a BFP with just dtd around OV which is what I have planned for anyway. Might do an extra one after OV for good luck ;)

winkle2 · 04/07/2012 09:00

That sounds promising backwards! Can you hold your wee in and do another one later?

OP posts:
backwardpossom · 04/07/2012 09:04

I think I'll wait until the morning. If I can get out and about today I'll maybe try and get a better test. It really really as faint. Lots of squinting and holding it up to the light. I'm still not convinced it was actually there. Hopefully I'll have more answers tomorrow...

backwardpossom · 04/07/2012 09:04

*was

SunshineOutdoors · 04/07/2012 09:05

Wow backwards hope the line gets darker, fx for you

pipsicles · 04/07/2012 09:06

That sounds promising backward! I did my first test at about 7pm 16dpo and I swear you need a microscope to see the line - but it is there! Then I did another at about 10:30pm the same night and the line was a bit stronger, so mentioned it to DH. By morning (cd17) I could see a line at 6:30am even through my sleepy eyes and the one I did at 6pm last night has a definite line! When I line them all up, they look like a paint colour chart from b&q! I haven't bothered this morning, but might do another later if I feel like it! I bought 15 for less than £3 and then the first one told me what I needed to know, so I'll just use them every now and then when I need a happy boost! FX for you backward - keep us posted! I'm really hoping this is it for you too!

purplecorduroy · 04/07/2012 09:09

Hello everyone, I've been a bit quiet but have been reading your posts. Congratulations from me to all those with BFPs and sorry to those who haven't. Good on you for waiting it out, winkle - it's so difficult! Fingers crossed for tomorrow's testing backward and sunshine*.

It's got to crunch time for me. It's cd29 so I can now say my period is late and I'll be testing tomorrow morning, too. I got downhearted recently because I started to feel AF type soreness in my tummy. Just before that I had had some shooting twinges in my uterus, which definitely felt different from normal. My bbs have remained bigger and are a bit tender, I was burpy yesterday (!) and I've had a runny nose for a while now. Fingers crossed AF doesn't arrive now I've posted!

backwardpossom · 04/07/2012 09:10

Thanks ladies. If it is positive, I'm going to be so worried about m/cing again. sigh We can't win, right?!

scubastevie · 04/07/2012 09:33

Hi Girls
Sorry to barge in again, but just had to tell you that we got our BFP This morning :o
Did a sainsbos one this am and got a faint line, literally ran to the shop for CB digi and got it loud and clear.
Sending loads of luck everyone's way for more BFPs :)

redstrawberry · 04/07/2012 09:35

Your symptoms look promising purple keeping my fx for you and wishing all of us to get BFPs this month.

Feeling very broody today, my friends and SIL have had their scans, another one is about to give birth next week. I really want this to be our month. I am so scared of getting hopeful as I build it all up and get depressed when AF arrives.
CD9 today but I am obsessing and staring at the calendar and apps again. Need to focus on something else!

redstrawberry · 04/07/2012 09:36

Congrats scuba hope all your luck stays with us in July till the end.

backwardpossom · 04/07/2012 09:39

Congrats scuba!

redstrawberry · 04/07/2012 09:40

Seeing as this is getting nearly full -we may need a Part 2
