BFP in 2012- a thread for winkling-advice and COD-avoidance!

999 replies

wishfulthinking1 · 15/07/2012 14:37

So... here we are!
In a positive move to avoid monthly heartache this is the thread where we'll ttc in 2012.

"will there be winkling?" of course!
"will there be tinkling?" too right! you filthy buggers
"will there be time in the COD?" probably- but it'll only be short lived!
"will there be BFPs?" YES YES YES!

A pledge! do you think I'm taking this too seriously?
I, wishfulthinking, promise to ttc with all my might. I accept that ttc is a long, drawn out process and I shant allow myself to become too obsessed with the process in 2012. (if I remain in-duffed at new year, however, I reserve the right to be right royally pissed off with life and everyone in general!)

Who's with me?

Wishfulthinkng1- ttc numero 1- expecting a sticky BFP on July 31st (and at 28 day intervals thereafter!) Days till wedding - 6!

Xxx

Waves back!

Good news on your opk red best of luck dtd (it's far too hot for my liking but needs must).

winkle totally understand why you are annoyed by the next door neighbours. I desperately want another child but the idea of having a huge brood fills me with horror. Kids can be very very demanding, I plan to stop at two. I have so much respect for parents who can cope with large numbers of kids (the ones who obviously can't make me wonder why they kept on producing more). Hmmm I sound a bit of a judgey pants.

frustratedpants · 11/08/2012 12:33

can you tell I dont get out much but probably more that winkles neighbour

winkle can you not dress all sexy and jump DH when he gets in from work?

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 12:58

Work? Have I missed something, I'm sure today is Saturday...!

frustratedpants · 11/08/2012 13:09

Is you DH not at work winkle ? jump him now then

It is definately a Saturday, my DH works random days each week, so without my school term-time job to define them weekends are non existent. the days merge together

I think I just wrongly presume everyone else is the same. Blush

redstrawberry · 11/08/2012 13:15

We are staying at family's tonite so not sure if dtd is acceptable etiquette when staying at someone else's! We dtd yesterday and will resume the shagging tomorrow.

Hi frustrated! Smile

frustratedpants · 11/08/2012 13:18

Hi red the guest bed is usually the squeaky one. Wink

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 13:25

I'll jump him at some point Grin

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 16:46

Jumped him but it didn't amount to anything as he wasn't really up for it didn't finish! Gosh I hate this enforced dtd!

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 16:48

Feeling really bad about going on on thurs night now as we could have dtd then! Last time we dtd was tues :(

fatasbutter · 11/08/2012 17:07

Hallo all!

I've decided to come out of MN hiding (couldn't cope with all the TTC talk and BFP's! Blush )

Have only managed to dtd on cd10 this month, so am pretty much out of the running for august as DH away all week/end and next week for work! Kind of takes the pressure off expecting a BFP as its soooo unlikely! But u know what crazies we are - I will doubtless be cross and indignant when AF arrives!! Grin so am now cd 15 and doing a kind of 2ww (but no expectations really) - I will watch as you all get your BFP's Grin Wink x

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 17:16

Welcome back fatas!

Scrap my last message, we've dtd Grin

frustratedpants · 11/08/2012 18:08

hi fatas

redstrawberry · 11/08/2012 18:45

Hi fatas im cd 15 too! Although just got my positive on the OPK so busy with the humpage!

fatasbutter · 11/08/2012 18:47

Hi winkle red and frustrated !

Good luck this month - fx for you! Good for you all with the humpage, and nice one today winkle Wink

DulcetMoans · 11/08/2012 18:50

Yay for +ve opks and DTD!!

frustratedpants · 11/08/2012 19:00

humpage Grin

bodi · 11/08/2012 19:09

wowsers - so much going on, I have beeen crazy busy so life is inconveiniently getting in the way of my MN addiction - hmphh!

Congrats to the BFPS - very exciting news.

I am now on CD12 so shagtastic commenced this morning, will try for EOD but have family coming to visit this week which is a bit of a pain. Trying to temp but has been pretty hard to be consistent and not bothering with OPKs at the moment as they don't seem to work for me. If I think i'm OV then i might try one. Based on last month due for BFP 30th August but we'll see.

Good work winkle getting one in.

Very jealous of your +ve OPK red - good luck!

weechops · 12/08/2012 14:08

hello ladies May I join you? Much as I loved being on the August thread, I think I sometimes need a longer view of ttc if you get what I mean? Not so much pressure and heartache.

I'm on cd5 now and dh doesn't seem to understand basic biology that I don't produce an egg every bloody day! Does he think I enjoy scheduling sex to the minute? Gah, men!

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 14:24

I think he has you confused with a chicken, weechops! :-/ Bloody men and their lack of biological knowledge!

winkle2 · 12/08/2012 14:56

Having a wobble today. Have no faith that I'm going to get pregnant this month [wails]

fatasbutter · 12/08/2012 16:03

Welcome weechops! A longer term view is def the way forward - you may then get a pleasant surprise?!

Ah winkle I hear ya! I feel the same but it's due to not enough swi this month unfortunately Sad so the biology just doesn't add up!!

nicola did I see on the August thread that you are already 13dpo?? How have you not been testing?? That's some serious willpower!! Wink

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/08/2012 16:06

Be strong winkle you have done everything you can to get pregnant. Really hope this is your lucky month.

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 16:11

Hi fatas!

I have been testing, to no avail. :-/ BFNs Friday and yesterday with FMU. Another this afternoon. I'll try again in the morning and see what happens. AF is due tomorrow if I've gone back to a 28 day cycle.

Wish my tingling boobs weren't bulding my hopes up.

Sorry you're feeling down, winkle :-( Wish I could say something that would help, but I know I can't.

winkle2 · 12/08/2012 16:41

We have DTD CD 9, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 21 so far. Got our peak on the monitor on CD14 but we're carrying on DTD just to cover us cause of my stupid irregular cycles. Just one more week of DTD!
