Wow- its all go here today!

Massive congratulations on the bfps! Brilliant news!

Im exhausted- manic day at work. I was about to poke my head out of the COD but then I read popsicles post- and have sunk firmly down in the cave again! I know what you're saying is true- its just so depressing! I just want to get pg, be knocked out for 9 months and the be given a baby- I don't want another mc :-( anyway, fatas, how you feeling today?

winkle- good luck with job interview
sunshine fx for you tomorrow- again, please post early!

I'm on cd4 here. I have a question- my cycles are pretty regular - usually 28 days. I have the 'period diary' app and it suggests I ovulate on cd 12- why would it say that? I don't temp or anything. When I had the fertility friend app it said I ov on cd 14. Do any of you have any good pg apps? Clearly an app won't get me pregnant- but it's something to do, like!

Think I'm going to start epo this month- I don't usually have a problem with Ewcm, but I guess every little helps and I want to try something new- feels like I'm trying something different so I have more chance iykwim?

You are out now wishful there's no going back in to the COD!

Have you tried the Period Tracker app?

you can OV anytime between CD10-CD16 in your 28 day cycle. Have you tried OPKs or fertility monitors to track OV before? I am simply going by CM changes and EPOs working its magic. I get good quality cm too but wanted to try something diff so giving epo a shot. I hope by this time next year we all have little additions to our families

winkle good luck for your interview!

RIBS Yes, I have seen Wunny's thread, made me very sad -wish I was local so could offer practical help Sad

AF here today, so I am out of the cycle but not out of the month! Will add new stats below.

Strangely, I don't feel upset at all. I think I was certain after my BFN on Sunday (10/11dpo) that it really was not going to happen this time, so I am actually feeling quite happy and elated (?!) that AF showed up earlier than expected (CD27). This means my cycles may now be a bit shorter, which can only be a good thing (this was 2nd post-pill cycle)! Smile

I have a few really fun days with friends, DD and DH coming right now, so I'll get to CD6 and POAS for OV without even thinking about it (so I hope you don't mind me not joining you in the COD this time fatas and wishful -but I hope to see you out soon!).

Have just bought WellWoman Conception, so this cycle I mean business! Grin

And I am intending to get my BFP on the lucky July ladies! Have helped the stats already by getting one BFN this month so July owes me one! Grin

pipsicles · 04/07/2012 18:10

Wishful I am really sorry to have pushed you back in the COD :(

wishfulthinking1 · 04/07/2012 18:20

Oh pips, it's not you- I'm just a miserable fecker at the mo.

Anyway, I'm coming out, no point moping, inspired by amaya and feeling guilty that I made pips feel bad. I'm already on cd4, how did that happen? I've got 3 very exciting weeks coming up - 3 hen dos and wedding- ill be on the 2ww before I know it. So will you fatas

Everyone else will have buggered off to the April antenatal thread by the time we get out bfps!!

Just been reading about epo- def getting some- so should you fatas - research implies that it makes better Ewcm, which not only means that sperm can travel in it better, but that they can live in it for longer too. So, you can get all slippery, dtd with dh on cd6 (before he goes away) then they may live until cd 11 and you can do it again cd14, so it'll only be cd12 you're not allowed to ov on, as if it's on cd13 then you should still be able to catch the egg on cd14! I honestly never thought id be so animated and excited about somebody I've never mets cervical mucus!!!

X

wishfulthinking1 · 04/07/2012 18:22

Sorry again pips- this whole ttc business is miserable enough without being held accountable for someone else!! X

NicolaHazel · 04/07/2012 18:28

I'm dozy...my date needs to be 19th please! :-/

winkle2 · 04/07/2012 18:36

Welcome new people!

And good to see you out of the cave wishful!

14DPO tomorrow eeeeeeek

SunshineOutdoors · 04/07/2012 19:00

Thanks for the fx wishful

I won't get home 'til tomorrow afternoon so it won't be fmu, will still test though and let you all know.

I use an app called ladytimer, you can chart temp on it too which I will start doing if things don't work out for me this cycle.

Welcome to new people Smile good luck to us all this month.

SunshineOutdoors · 04/07/2012 19:03

My cycle seems so long. nicolaHazel you were my June testing buddy and now you're testing 12 days after me but I'm still on the same cycle Confused I had a bfn on the 30th but still no af. Hopefully I'll know one way or the other soon and hopefully you'll get your bfp on the 17th

SunshineOutdoors · 04/07/2012 19:03

19th I mean not 17th

NicolaHazel · 04/07/2012 19:13

Do you know if you've ovulated, Sunshine? How have you decided when next to test?

I don't envy all you long cycle people :-(

I actually think I didn't ovulate last month comparing then to now.

kittykatsforever · 04/07/2012 19:53

Well sunshine the fact still no af is sooo exciting!! Thank goodness you were surgically removed from those tests hey!
Glad your out of the cave wishful, I don't think it'll even cross your mind in a week or so, this month will go quicker then you can imagine with all you'll be doing
Epo definatly making a difference, no ov yet but sooooo much cm
I'm not in the cave but can I be allowed to just wallow for one second........
I MISS MY BATH!!!!!!! [sobs]

SunshineOutdoors · 04/07/2012 19:57

I've gone on holiday and left the tests at home! Will test when back tomorrow - embarrassingly I was doing them pretty much every time I went to the loo before I went away Blush

kittykats thanks for rooting for me. Why no bath? Sad for you I love a nice bath. Is it because of the ttc? Did we find some evidence for that theory?

SunshineOutdoors · 04/07/2012 19:58

No idea if I've ovulated or not. Hope so...

kittykatsforever · 04/07/2012 20:03

Yes it said it was a no go as it killed the swimmers!! I not restricting totally but for the next few days will not see dh, we dtd yesterday and I want to keep them alive for aslong as poss till next chance (fri) just incase, I darnt risk it but I love them so!
I have them really hot and I always did wonder if it had an effect, it makes sence really

kittykatsforever · 04/07/2012 20:11

P.s if anyone can think of anything to do to help wunny, thread don't know what to do, please do as she's in a really bad place at the mo and could use some help

kiwi5 · 04/07/2012 20:12

backward am chuffed as chips for you. That is such brill news. Will keep everything crossed that you have a a super sticky bean in there.
Congratulatory hugs and unmumsnetty xxxxx

Jenjen85 · 04/07/2012 20:44

Been lurking around for a while an want to congratulate everyone who have got BFPs :-)

I'm currently on CD29 an Af is due either fri/sat been symptom spotting like crazy but don't think this month will be my month :-( have had really sore boobs the past week (don't usually get sore boobs tho) and had a tiny (blink an you'll miss it kind of tiny) spotting today but got that dragging feeling like Af is just around the corner today an had bad cramping when I got up so much so that I woke up dripping with sweat (sorry tmi)

This is only our first month TTC an ill be so disappointed if Af arrives. I know it doesn't just happen overnight and that people try for years without any luck but it does annoy me when people say the got pregnant by accident????? How the hell does that happen when you only get such a small window of opportunity for it to happen?!?!?! Sorry to rant in a bit but I have some lovely friends like many of you on here who are TTC and have no luck but you get young kids gettin pregnant no trouble!

scubastevie · 04/07/2012 20:44

Thank you all so much for the congrats. So frustrating not being able to tell anyone in real life so lovely to talk to you all :o

pipsicles and redstrawberry - I had period pains yest and really bad in the night before my BFP this am. Got exactly the same Pre-period symptoms (sore boobs 1 week before, easing off just before due, spots and bloat) so it just goes to show you can feel exactly like AF coming and still get BFP - it's never over until AF sings! Lol

Also I don't think the amount of BFPs affect anyone else's chances (anyway, I thought it was 40% chance on OV day?) it's an individual chance of 40% every month for YOU, NOT 40% of people will get pregnant. tedmundo May was the month of doom wasn't it!!

winkle2 didn't do anything different this month (apart from being stressed at work - perhaps this took my mind off it) I'm lucky to OV on day 14 so did it on that day (plus lots of winkling of course!) good luck for your interview.

Waves to RIBS you were my OV buddy in the May thread I do believe :o

Lisamol been really lucky this is our 3rd month trying. Not quite sunk in yet, doesn't quite seem real. :)

Hello! I bought a preg test this eve to use tomorrow morning but couldn't wait! DP - normally so cautious - read the instructions about when it claims to be accurate and encouraged me to do it this evening instead! I didn't need much encouragement! And I just got my BFP! Fingers crossed that it happens asap for the rest of you. Thanks for letting me share my news!

RIBS · 04/07/2012 21:01

Welcome more newbies! Make yourselves comfy.

Yeah scuba, we were cycle buddies. I hope 2cu in a couple of wks in the, I'm up the duff, whoop whoop thread. Don't know if there is 1 called that but there should b.

So, been 4 Acupuncture 2nite. The needles were fine, didn't hurt at all. It was the feeling about b4 that was really uncomfortable. Delving in2 my stomach 2 feel where was sensitive. Ow ow. I hope all that raking about hasn't affected any possible implantation.

I'm with u on the baths kitty. I usually jump in with dd then burn myself 2 a crisp when she's got out!

Jenjen85 · 04/07/2012 21:01

Huge congratulations purple
