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

999 replies

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

whenshewas - I had tingly boobs yesterday and some cramping too but that could just be to do with the martial arts class I did on weds and my love of spicy food!

Hubby's getting worried about his sperm analysis as it's been 2 weeks and we STILL don't have the results, despite ringing the docs every 2-3 days. Trying to tell him no news is good news but he's freaking out.

I have my tests on Tuesday too.

Just feel so crappy about it all today.

fatasbutter · 12/08/2012 17:02

Oh boo Nicola sorry about the BFN's - will keep my fx'd for you anyway, and for you too winkle x

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 17:13

Thanks, fatas. :-)

Decided definitely no AF today now. Roll on tomorrow morning!

winkle2 · 12/08/2012 17:15

thx girls

bodi · 12/08/2012 18:27

good luck with the tests winkle - i'm sure everything will be OK and well done with the dtd.

wishfulthinking1 · 12/08/2012 18:57

Fx she stays away nic

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 19:11

I hope so, wishful. Did you feel anything before finding out you were pregnant? I don't feel pre-menstrual, or anything that I think pregnant would feel like.

Apart from the tingly boobs, ha ha!

Good luck with the test results, winkle. Hope you get some answers soon.

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 19:12

Thank you, winkle :-)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/08/2012 20:09

So that is winkle nicola and me with tingly boobs. Maybe its a good thing maybe it isn't.

I can't believe your dh (and you) have had to wait so long to get his sperm results back. Hope your tests go ok. Try not to feel crappy about it, you are just getting closer to the result you want. It just sucks it has taken longer than it should have (sucks isn't really strong enough but you have had the shittest time and I think these tests will be the start of a huge improvement for you and your dh (and yes I do mean a BFP in the very near future)).

nic fx the witch stays away.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/08/2012 20:14

Sorry if that last post got a bit rambley. Having a bit of Wine to life my spirits.

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 20:38

In all of my almost-36 years my boobs have never felt like this!

Is this common / usual for you two, When and winkle?

winkle2 · 12/08/2012 20:38

Thanks whenshewasbad. I hate the fact we are on of 'those' couples now.
My sister is due in October and I'll find that tough I think. If I'm not pregnant by the end of the year I'll be HYSTERICAL.

winkle2 · 12/08/2012 20:40

Nic it's not common for me but I think it may be related to the martial arts class I did on weds.

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 20:43

As in boob strain?!

winkle2 · 12/08/2012 20:44

Yep LOL

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 20:48

Is that even possible?!?! ;-p

Lolcbcb · 12/08/2012 20:52

Hya
Have not posted here before but have been lurking.
Nic- re your itchy boobs. I had that and I was pg!!!! Never had it before or after. It's not over till af comes. So fx for both of you tomorrow x

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 12/08/2012 20:55

winkle my cousin was one of "those" couples, her baby is due at the end if Jan. She just like you had a horrendous time (18 months) but she has her BFP and it came naturally.

I think you would be amazed just how many people have problems ttc (not that it makes it less shit when it happens to you).

nic my boobs are beyond dull. I don't get any swelling before period, don't get any pain normally. Only time they felt sore was 6/7 weeks pregnant. Otherwise they are just there.

winkle2 · 12/08/2012 21:11

Thanks when.

Just want it so badly you know?

NicolaHazel · 12/08/2012 21:19

Seems like we share boobs, as it were, When. Mine just don't join in with hormonal stuff! They are H2B's playthings, which is a good job else they'd just be sitting there doing bugger all. :-/

I really hope you get your BFP soon, winkle.

And that's interesting, lol...hope it is a good sign. :-)

NicolaHazel · 13/08/2012 06:31

Still BFN. Not got a good feeling about this.

Dexidoo · 13/08/2012 07:18

What day are you now Nicola? Could you have ovulated later than you thought

The boob ache is a very good sign- that was the only symptom I got prior to BFP. They had never been like that before- so sensitive that I clouted DH when he went in for a grope!

Fx your BFP is due this week

Dexidoo · 13/08/2012 07:23

Winkle I am very impressed by your stamina/determination. We have DTD CD8, 10, 11 and think may need a day off today on CD12- hoping for some signs of ov so that this early action is not wasted!

NicolaHazel · 13/08/2012 07:27

I'm on CD29 having had a 28 and 26 day cycle the two post-pill cycles.

I didn't use OPKs this cycle, but had ovulation pain from Saturday to Monday. I initially based my DPO on Saturday ovulation, but am now going for Monday, so am 14 DPO today. In theory!

Maybe it is just taking a while to appear. If implantation took 12 days, I suppose that's possible. Lots of variables!

Or my body is teasing me and AF will appear shortly.
