Thank you everyone. Fx for October!!! I've had it! I'm sooooo determined to get that bfp this month! I'm going to be absolutely batty by the time I start testing Grin
I'm gonna stand on my head after dtd
-What other pregnancy myths are there?? I'm trying them all!!!!

chilledmonkeyribs · 28/09/2012 21:50

Have u tried tinkling after Winkling, @stickybeans. Quite an appropriate name! Ha ha!

JamesAndTheGiantBanana · 28/09/2012 21:59

Tinkling after winkling? Does that mean erm...coming second? Confused

redstrawberry · 28/09/2012 22:19

Sorry about the blank white James - totally know how it feels. Would give anything to see a bit of pink in there. Fx you are still not out.

Welcome back urban!!

Hi all just checking in as not been around ages.
Trying and failing not to worry about ttc all the time. Af just finished so my bad mood has to go too!!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasAnOrange · 29/09/2012 14:34

My af has just finished too. Ov was stupidly late last month so not sure when to expect the egg this month.
Best of luck improving your mood, I'm feeling a bit tearful today.

woody17 · 29/09/2012 17:13

winkle glad the scan was clear. I am fed up with people telling me to relax!

redstrawberry my periods have done a very similar thing - they have changed since taking the pill so I know have some days of discharge stuff and few days of actual red bleeding. It might be worth going to see the GP to see what they say.

I agree with you all about the 2ww - it's horrible. I try and fill my diary more in those 2 weeks to try and make the days pass by more quickly.

nicola Have a fab time at Muse - very jealous!

stickybeans I'm sorry that af has come.

Well, I've seen a homeopath and acupuncturist this week, which I'm hoping will help with things. We dtd for the first time last night since mc and I got a +ve with tesco ov strips today, but does that seem very early if I'm only on CD8?

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 29/09/2012 17:38

Thanks, woody, I will.

CD8 does sound a bit early. How long are your cycles? You can have more than one surge, so it's probably worth shagging just in case, but keep testing.

woody17 · 29/09/2012 17:57

I think I'm about 28 days but I'm on a wtf cycle so anything's possible.

I've ordered cb ov sticks today so ill see what they say.

DulcetMoans · 29/09/2012 18:04

I had smiley on CD7 last month and CD9 this month woody. Does feel too early but I can at least say its happened to me too.

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 29/09/2012 18:05

That is true...have you been told how long it may take to get back to normal?

Though it may be a blessing if your WTF cycle is short?

woody17 · 29/09/2012 18:51

Ok thanks dulcet

No, no idea nicola - dr says I can start ttc straight away but homeopath and acupuncturist I'm seeing want me to wait at least 3 months. I don't want to wait though.

winkle2 · 29/09/2012 20:03

You know you're TTC when you dtd earlier so you can have a few drinks that evening!!

UrbanPigeon · 30/09/2012 09:03

Morning all. Any news today? When are first testers?

winkle2 · 30/09/2012 09:50

No news :(

My CBFM says high so we're dtd eod at the moment.

UrbanPigeon · 30/09/2012 10:04

Have you any idea how to sort the morphology?

Do they reckon that's the reason or do they not know?

winkle2 · 30/09/2012 10:08

They don't think morphology has anything to do with it. They're doing another SA next week.

I've read taking pine bark extract helps so got hub on those.

How are you doing anyway? Congrats on getting pregnant!! X

UrbanPigeon · 30/09/2012 10:15

Ah I hope it helps. But it took us a year and a month so its not like it just won't happen :)

Thanks. Learnt I was right about no symptoms. Week 7 now and waiting patiently for nausea. Boobs hurt but a very different sore to post ovulation (which disappeared around CD13 and were replaced with pregnancy sore at about week 5) :)

Otherwise am trying to keep you guys positive knowing it can happen no matter how hard or long you think it is :)

winkle2 · 30/09/2012 10:23

I know it will happen I just don't know when. That's the hope I have these days.

UrbanPigeon · 30/09/2012 10:30

I had largely given up. I tried the alkaline powder and took zinc.

We dtd over two days - 4 times. We did it more as a give up. I think I had the surge, dropped the egg and fertilised it on the 31 August because I had my positive on 10 September - 10dpo.

I also had it at 7pm at night on three different brands including internet cheapies and CB digital.

So I was somewhere between Cd 8 - 10 when I had my positive.

winkle2 · 30/09/2012 10:34

Do you mean you ov'd somewhere between cd8-10?

UrbanPigeon · 30/09/2012 10:48

No I over cd14

Sorry got my bfp on 8 - 10 dpo

Not sure because for it to be 10 dpo, I would have have had to have the lh surge, drop the egg and fertlise it on the same day

But medically, that process should have taken at least 2-3 days which means I would have had the bfp at 8-9 dpo

UrbanPigeon · 30/09/2012 10:50

My cd 14 and the day I ovulated was Friday, 31 august

I had my bfp on Monday 10 September and was due af Sunday,16 September

winkle2 · 30/09/2012 10:58

It takes 24-36 hours to drop egg after surge so it could have happened on the same day.
