TTC#1 - The difficult fifth thread: the one where we all get BFP!

Time to move over ladies. Would love to start this thread by announcing my BFP but unfortunately I can't because we all talk too much to get to test date!

All going for gold medals in baby-making and bound to get there soon, aren't we???

I noticed that the two small lines on the cb stick looked very similar in darkness today. Is that what you mean Dulcet?

NickiNockiNoodle · 28/08/2012 17:35

It's just where it gets really heavy and I'm very aware of it! Most odd, but normally signifies something happening. Ovaries are a bit achey now too.

Maybe a smiley tomorrow.

I wondered about that, Dulcet, so I PIATH, test, then decant! So much fun at 6am. :-/

Nice name change, peardrop!

NickiNockiNoodle · 28/08/2012 17:36

And no change in CM, no :-/

Maybe I've run out after last cycle's abundance!

letsdothisthing · 28/08/2012 18:08

Hi all :)

Hope you all enjoyed the BH weekend! At least only 3 more days of work this week to get through!

Sorry to hear you have some furry friends in the attic peardrop (feels weird calling you that) hopefully you can get rid of them soon! A friend of DH had a bird stuck in their chimney once and they had to get someone in to remove it safely! Something you could do without though I bet!

Having a few twinges here but really feel that we haven't conceived this month, still hope I'm proved wrong though!

Have not seen our list for a while, I have no clue who's next for BFP, I'll have a look!

NickiNockiNoodle · 28/08/2012 18:26

Hi lets!

Maybe you're next :-)

Dear god...my no CM has turned into 'got to change my knickers as they're soaking' CM in the matter of minutes! Heading towards EWCM, but not quite there.

letsdothisthing · 28/08/2012 18:30

Hi nic, maybe I am - not for another week or so though and just feeling a bit negative about it this month like we messed up our dates! Never mind will wait and see if AF shows up

Lolcbcblemonlime · 28/08/2012 18:42

Wow newbie peardrop it feels like a whole new person!
Loving the creativity of names. My lemon and lime sounds dull!
Yeah cat is a good idea. Could well be squirrels!
Thanks for list. Shame no bfp yet Sad

Roxyjade · 28/08/2012 18:57

Thanks newbie, I noticed a tiny bit of EWCM yesterday (and I don't usually get that) and then the peak today. I did think it was normal
But nice to hear someone else say it. I just don't feel bloated or anything but thats it's early, I got my last peak rally late (near AF) oh I really hope
My progestrone is sorting itself out so I can ovulate,
Would be great to get a BFP before my holiday. When do you hear back from doctors x

peardrop2 · 28/08/2012 20:21

That's ok Roxy, here to support. I've got my 21 days blood test next Tuesday 4th and then I'll get the results for that and my scan on 11th so basically 2 weeks to go now. I have two busy days at work coming up so hopefully that will make this week go a bit quicker.

Nicola yay that sounds really promising :)

I thought pear drop was an easy fruit name to type even if it sounds a bit lame lol Call me Pear or P and then you haven't got too much to type.

Bird/Squirrrel/Rat has woken up!! Maybe it's a nocturnal bat! Grrrrrr

NickiNockiNoodle · 28/08/2012 20:56

I hope you're well on the way to answers, peardrop :-) At least you're having investigations which really should tell you something.

I'm hoping my smiley comes tomorrow...got to jump H2B if it does. I may go for pre application of Conceive Plus, then lure him to bed to find me ready-lubed, ha ha!

Send DH into the loft, see what's up there!

NickiNockiNoodle · 28/08/2012 21:29

Just booked my 'hen do' for 5th October.

There will be no veils, tiaras, L plates or strippers. Just 13 of us having a meal. And lots of cocktails. :-)

Then last train home to Southport.

DulcetMoans · 28/08/2012 21:45

Sounds good nicki, can I come? haha.

NickiNockiNoodle · 28/08/2012 21:46

The more the merrier!! :-)

peardrop2 · 28/08/2012 22:03

Yay, love a hen do! Dulcet we can have virtual cocktails to celebrate :)

Nicola if you get your smiley face tmz can you do me a fav

peardrop2 · 28/08/2012 22:07

Ooops got too excited and pressed done too quickly. So as I was saying Nicola can you look at your blue lines and see if they're both dark for me? I'm just intrigued to hear what other smiley face lines look like Grin I appreciate this might be hard for you to remember at 6am!!

OK so the pest control man is 90% sure it's rats. I'm quite disappointed really, was hoping it was something a bit different! So DH is going to go and buy poison etc tomorrow.

It's odd you ladies calling me Pear drop what a ridicoulous name!

NickiNockiNoodle · 28/08/2012 22:08

Yep...what is it? :-)

Still no surge, but obviously not FMU.

NickiNockiNoodle · 28/08/2012 22:08

No problem. I always look at the lines anyway!!

peardrop2 · 28/08/2012 23:00

Haven't shared a link for a while. Found this cool stat list where you can type in OV day and it tells all about your pregnancy journey. Something to dream over when bored at work www.pregnology.com/due-date.php?cycle=28&month=1&day=01&year=2012&o1=2&omonth=8&oday=28&oyear

NickiNockiNoodle · 29/08/2012 06:30

Morning!

CD13 and still no surge. Bearing in mind actual OV is meant to take place 24 - 48 hours after the surge, maybe I'm heading for another longish cycle?

I feel like something is happening internally though!

peardrop2 · 29/08/2012 06:30

Nicola smiley?

peardrop2 · 29/08/2012 06:32

Oh sorry we posted at the same time

Bloody rats, I want to kill them :( so tired!!

NickiNockiNoodle · 29/08/2012 07:04

They are a nightmare. Mine used to scrabble about in the early hours only too :-/

I'm now worried that there will be no surge / smiley. :-( But physical signs suggest it is on the way.

And bloody Zita West says FMU isn't best to catch the surge anyway. And I'm not taking the kit to work!

peardrop2 · 29/08/2012 09:26

No don't worry LH surge is on the way Nicola Hang in there! Remember I said that the best time to do OpK sticks is 11am (can't remember where I read that), that's why I've been using more then normal amount of sticks and testing twice at the weekend. However, I got my LH surge at 7:30 yesterday so it is possible to get an early surge! Also want to say that ive noticed that the day after my surge I get really bright orange FMU almost like orange calypso colour!! Don't know if anyone else has noticed that?

CD16 on CBFM and still not asking for sticks. Didn't get another smiley this morning so I think my smiley time is up.

BlocketteBananaSmoothie · 29/08/2012 10:12

Morning ladies! How are the rats peardrop? (eek!)

:( it must be frustrating for you Nicola maybe your sticks are just acting up? If you feel something going on, just go for it just in case!
