Only 8 days left in September now! Fx for everyone as we approach October.... Quite amazed that DH and I have been managing to DTD at all given we are moving house on 9 October. (Although we are WAY behind on the packing)

MrsAFlowerpot · 22/09/2012 10:49

Packing-schmaking. DTD all the way!

weechops · 22/09/2012 12:05

Oooh taking grab that man! Fx

TakingTheStairs · 22/09/2012 12:18

Thanks weechops!! He's away for work from Monday am too, so like you I was very glad of the timely smiley face.

Oh and I saw a packet of Tablet in waitrose during the week and thought of you.. In my head I immediately thought "ah that's what weechops meant".

And I second MrsAFlowerpot, put those boxes down smilesandwaves and concentrate on more important things!

Question for the wise ones - I'm on cd18 and got my opk smiley face today (as I announced to the world earlier on this thread! Blush ). It's cycle 1 after coming off the pill so I don't know what my cycle length is. When should I be poas? Two weeks from now? Based on a 28 day cycle I would have poas on Oct 2nd but I've ovulated later than I would thought I would, so do I move my hopeful BFP date?
Does that even make sense!?

JellyCurls · 22/09/2012 12:26

Afternoon TAKING, no expert but i remember reading once that your luteal phase averages 10 to 14 days so prob not POAS before two weeks, if you have good will power. Fx for your BFP in October x

TakingTheStairs · 22/09/2012 12:37

Thanks jellycurls. I'll try my best to wait two weeks then. Waaahh exciting!

OP posts:
JellyCurls · 22/09/2012 13:07

I am 3 days into my wait and am trying so hard not to imagine symptoms. Excited and nervous after last months disapointment

LittleMissSnowShine · 22/09/2012 14:01

Hi mrsaflowerpot - feeling a bit the same as you, ds is 2 and i had mmc followed by erpc at the end of july. Everyone at the mum&toddler groups and a couple of friends are pg with no.2. I think i just sort of got on with things in August but I'm finding this month quite tough...fx for us in October!!

Because of weird wtf cyclw.not really sure what CD im on but dtd eod and more if we can manage it this cycle and we're doing well so far!!

littlepinkfizz · 22/09/2012 14:57

taking I think AF comes 14 after you ovulate so prob best to wait til then...then again it's hard to resist poas! Fx

TakingTheStairs · 22/09/2012 15:27

Thanks littlepink and good luck jellycurls , fingers crossed for you

OP posts:
weechops · 22/09/2012 19:04

taking I had my fingers crossed for you that you would get that smiley before your dh went to work. It's rotten when you really need them at home and they're not! Reeeaaaaalllllyyyy want it to be our month!

MrsAFlowerpot · 23/09/2012 08:45

Little, horrible isn't it?! People keep telling me I must make sure dd isn't an only (complicated back story but my DM passed away when we were teens so having siblings was important). Might throw something at next person who suggests I hurry along!

Hi everyone

I think I've been on other threads with someone of you but basically I am ttc our first child. I fell pg earlier in the year but mc at about 8/9 weeks in July. I feel pg again this month but mc again yesterday. I knew something wasn't right this time. I kept testing around when af was due but kept getting BFNs. I started spotting and thought it was af but it never developing into af so I tested again and got a BFP but the lines never got particularly dark and I didn't really have any symptoms, unlike last time. I am really upset to have had two mcs and frightened that it means that I'll have more.

I am going to take yesterday as CD1 and I'd bought some conceive plus which I'm going to try this month as well.

Hopefully it'll be third time lucky!

blargl · 23/09/2012 17:22

Hi everyone, I've migrated over from the September thread. I'm on cd1 of cycle 2. A little tip if you guys didn't know - you can get frer tests on 3 for 2 in boots, and the boots I was in this afternoon had the three packs of them, so you could get 9 for £10 or so (for any fellow poas addicts!)

ella0 · 23/09/2012 17:38

So sorry woody.

Thanks for that info blargl.

weechops · 23/09/2012 18:57

oh woody i'm really sorry

blargl guess where I'm going tomorrow! :)

JellyCurls · 23/09/2012 20:28

Sorry to hear that WOODY. I am on cycle one following an early loss and it sure sucks. Fingers crossed you get a sticky bean soon, hugs x

PurpleGeekyGirl · 23/09/2012 21:18

just booking my place for Tuesday... had thought that Sept was a successful cycle but appears not as massive AF cramps and BFNs following very very very faint line last week. I need you guys to keep me from SS too much this cycle. I swore I wouldn't obsess but, well, yeah.... that!

Am on cd27 atm, but fully expecting the witch to arrive at any moment as my AF cramps are awful now I remember why I took the pill for so long, owwwwwww

TakingTheStairs · 24/09/2012 09:15

woody So sorry to hear of your loss. Fingers crossed for third time lucky for you.
blargl welcome to the bus and thanks for the tip about Boots.
Hi PurpleGeekyGirl, welcome to the bus. We'll try our best to stop you Symptom Spotting, but I can't promise anything. I've added you to the bottom of the list for now until you have dates.

I've also updated my dates. I'm now in the 2 week wait with weechops, fingers crossed for everyone going through the wait!
Oh and I brought some Victoria Sponge for today's journey. Would anyone like a slice?
