Brilliant news anothercerealnamechanger wow! x

AnotherCerealNameChanger · 02/10/2012 11:53

When I tested with my DC1 I tested the day before AF and it appeared slowly even with FMU, she was v v v overdue

This time I didn't expect a + because it was earlier in the cycle and not FMU but it was there instantly. Hopefully thi means I OV'd earlier and this pg will be ok and not go overdue. Maybe.

255 days before I have to worry about that - and a week to keep it secret from DH. And we already agreed to try to keep it secret until 20weeks due to the need for additional tests.

Congrats cereal!

littlepinkfizz · 02/10/2012 12:30

another did you use opk's this month ? If so, when did you Dtd in orders to get your BFP? We only managed to Dtd the day we got smiley

LittleMissSnowShine · 02/10/2012 13:18

Congrats anothercerealnamechanger - yay for October bfps starting to roll in, fx for the rest of us still on the bus!!

Welcome aboard pinksky - next stop, BFP, everyone will be exiting at the next stop Wink

AnotherCerealNameChanger · 02/10/2012 13:32

I did a few things, I used OPKs then I spent time with legs in the air, I had sex for fun and not for baby IYSWIM and I was also v careful to DTD loads. Like really loads. CD9, CD11, CD12, CD15, CD18, CD20, CD22 I got a +OPK on CD15

chookford · 02/10/2012 13:46

Congrats Cereal that is brillaint news!

Hi Pinksy welcome to the bus! Ding ding.. next stop bfp town!!

littlepinkfizz · 02/10/2012 13:47

You were leaving nowt to chance another! Unfortunately with DP ere tile problems we didn't have that luxury and Dtd only on cd15 and cd 18 and got smiley cd 18. F really x that's enough x

PurpleGeekyGirl · 02/10/2012 14:35

Coming on for a moan, sorry, please form an orderly queue to slap me with a wet fish... but feeling really down about it all today, my mood swings are terrible. I am convinced I had a CP last cycle - faintest of lines once with lots of symptoms have never had before then they suddenly stopped and AF arrived. For the last two days have been so so down and moody/irritable Sad for no reason. Don't usually get PMS but it's like that. More EWCM today too but not seeing BF till Friday. Am on cd9, we dtd on cd3 and can't again till cd11 so convinced I am already out for October. I usually ov cd11-13. Almost wish we'd never decided to try as it's making being apart even harder than normal... Roll on Jan when we can live together more, being apart all week sucks rant rant moan moan whinge whinge

Time for more cake I think chocolate banana today I baked some to share so you had no chance but to listen to me droning on Wink

JellyCurls · 02/10/2012 14:46

Congrats cereal great result

purple i had a cp last month its not nice. I was so down afterwards just wanted to weep. But felt better after a bubble, a hug and a lovely chat with DH about it all. Try keep your chin up, and for days thats not possible we here with cake and chocolate

TakingTheStairs · 02/10/2012 14:46

purple, rant away that's what we're here for.
If it helps I was mega moody and down in the days before I ovulated so I'm sure that the surge of hormones is making you feel like this.
You are doing the best you can, don't beat yourself up over it, you can't do any more than you are doing though I know you would like to. Really and truly, don't get cross with yourself, you'll get there.
(((hugs)))

can I have some cake too? Smile

shineypeacock · 02/10/2012 14:57

Can i ask ladies what OPK's you use? Think i might try them this month, am now on offical cycle 5, but had a couple of we'll see cycles before that iykwim!

Big congrats cereal, Grin Grin this is going to be a lucky bus, I'm just glad i can stay on for the rest of the month and congratulate you all on you BFP's

TakingTheStairs · 02/10/2012 15:24

I used these ones from Clear Blue

OP posts:
JellyCurls · 02/10/2012 15:44

I usr a fertility microscope that checks your saliva for ferning pre ov. One off buy and reuseable, got pcos so wasn't wanting to shell out for sticks for 4 month long cycles

littlepinkfizz · 02/10/2012 16:05

I used the ordinary clear blue ones and then the digital ones which were dearer but easier as no guessing IMHO x

PurpleGeekyGirl · 02/10/2012 16:12

Thanks taking and jelly interesting to know about feeling like this pre-OV. I have been on the pill for so long never noticed before. Sorry to hear you had a CP Jelly.

hands out cake to everyone who wants it

pinksky · 02/10/2012 16:31

Thanks for the welcome - nice full bus, think I'll park my bum on the luggage rack.

Purple sorry things are crappy and that you're away from your BF, that's tough. Don't lose hope for this month - like Taking says, it could well be pre-ov symptoms.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent decaf tea and coffee (instant or ground)? I just cut down on my normal caffeinated stuff last cycle but it would be nice to find replacements.

LittleMissSnowShine · 02/10/2012 17:09

purple - i had chemical pg the month before i got a real bfp and it really was so horrible. Sorry ur feeling down, know just how u feel

ella0 · 02/10/2012 18:19

Congratulations cereal!

Thanks again for all the congratulations messages :) .

weechops · 02/10/2012 18:34

Congratulations cereal October is definitely off to a great start :)

littlepinkfizz · 02/10/2012 19:22

Evening ladies. Can you help?

I had a smiley on sat and Dtd then but this evening I had the tiniest bit of brown cm on my knickers(tmi) never had this before at this stage in my cycle.
Any ideas?

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 02/10/2012 19:24

Could be OV bleeding. Rare, but does happen.

Congrats, Cereal :-)
