Hop on board the October 2012 BFP bus

[takingthestairs]

I will be your conductor thread starter for all of us that are hoping for a BFP in October 2012.

Allow me to start.

takingthestairs. Cycle 1 BFP due Oct 2nd

[chookford]

Yes me Pink I have ordered them but I am still undecided on whether or not to use them, as like you say I know I will become obsessed and will only make ttc more difficult...and as I don't have a regular cycle I don't really know when to test anyway would just be a case of everyday I think! I really really want a bfp soon but I am still hopeful of just being able to take things as they come.. although saying that if in a few months nothing is happening I will be taking matter into my own hands!

Hi Puppy good news re your blood test, fx for that bfp soon!

[MadameJ]

Can I join too, being off the pill for 4 months now and thought I had being lucky this month but oh no AF arrived today .

I have no idea about my periods etc anymore since I stopped breastfeeding so all a bit clueless really

[sazzababs]

Hey everyone! waves
I was on the Feb thread as I got our BFP after 6 months of half-assed trying! Was also in the JS thread :D Unfortunately, I was one of the '1 in 3' and had a missed mc shown at the 12 week scan :'( Had an ERPC at beginning of August then my MIL died suddenly. Fair to say August was NOT our month :/ l had AF for a day (!) 4 weeks to the day later, then nowt. SOOOOOOOO, I'm on th WTF cycle and I'll put my date as testing on 13th October :) Nice to 'meet' you all, and here's to October!

[sazzababs]

Spooooo, can someone cut as paste for me? Stoooopid iShan XD
Sazzababs, Cycle 1 after mmc, BFP due 13th October

[kNickerbockerGloryCherry]

Marking my place too.

BFP due 15th October, but as I'm off on honeymoon that day I won't be testing unless AF hasn't appeared by the time I get back :-)

Thank god I have very short periods, so shouldn't miss too much honeymoon shagging!!

[33PinkLadyApple]

Any point dtd today? Cd6. Cant be bothered.

[kNickerbockerGloryCherry]

Unless you ovulate by CD9, probably not :-)

[weechops]

cd13 today so going all out this week and dtd every day. DH has a bit of a sniffle but hopefully he'll man up and do what needs to be done!

[TakingTheStairs]

Your DH will be worn out weechops!

No smiley face for me on the OPK yet. I have no idea what my cycle is like as this is my first one off the pill, but I'm on CD13 too and was hoping for a smiley face around now. I'm going to keep testing until Friday with optimism and if I don't have one by then... well I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

[weechops]

taking I got my smiley on day 16 last month of a 29 day cycle, so thinking it may be the same this month.

[BlueSkySoftSand]

Hello, going to mark my place as thinking AF is on it's way (day late but tested BFN y/day - boo!)

It's my third month of ttc dc3 (dc1 and 2 just happened quite quickly and w/out much thought/stress)

My Oct BFP would be due around the middle of the month (my cycle anywhere between 28 and 31 days).

Just marking my place - not sure exactly when I'm due because of these stupid wtf cycles since mc. Have ended up buying a clear blue fertility monitor! Does anyone on here use them?

[TakingTheStairs]

Thanks weechops that's positive news. DH is away from Sunday of this wk for work, so crossing my fingers it happens by then.

Hi Woody I'm using the Clear Blue digital Ov prediction sticks. I can try to help you with any questions but I can't guarantee I'll have the info!

[TakingTheStairs]

littlepinkfizz hi - I started using them on CD6 as did weechops (she said it earlier in the thread - I'm not a stalker honest!)

[littlepinkfizz]

Cool takingthestairs .i will get some today then start tomorrow. I really hope this is my month

[33PinkLadyApple]

I've got some of those Internet cheapy OPK's from friend . The packet says pee in a pot, put stick in for 5 seconds then lay it flat and check but my friend said she did that until another friend told her the wee should be room temp and not first morning wee...? She got BFP first go after checking with tepid afternoon pee! I'm on CD7 so reckon I should start using? Rather not become obsessed and just shag way to BFP but as I'm only on cycle 2 I want to know if and when I pop an egg. Advise please about wee time, day and temp!!!

[littlepinkfizz]

Yes please, include me in that advice too ladies! Thanks 33pink

[littlepinkfizz]

Tepid afternoon pee anyone?! With or without stick to accompany?!!

[33PinkLadyApple]

ha ha clueless pink people aren't we!

[TakingTheStairs]

hi!!

As far as I know, different tests require different circumstances.

With the Clear Blue digital you are told to pee directly on the stick or into a cup and dip the stick in. No where does it say to let the pee be tepid. It does say to test at the same time every day.

I have read that other tests suggest testing in the afternoon but I think that is more for the non-digital tests.

I think the best thing to do it to follow the instructions that come with the sticks that you have.
The manufacturers of the sticks want you to have the most accurate readings that you could possibly have and therefore their instructions will be tailored to those particular tests.

As for waiting for the pee to be tepid.. to me, that sounds like rubbish. The hormones will be in your pee whether it's hot, warm or chilled!!
