Hi again! Congrats to the new Mrs!!!!!! Winkle - sounds really, REALLY promising!!! I thought vivid dreams were a sympton and surely it was vivid if you can remember the saucy bits?!

I am still none the wiser... I had dismissed it as BFN... as didn't FEEL preg... BUT have now had THREE 'barely there' line debacles. I am also now 3 days late...

So I have now started to let myself feel a little bit excited, but I'm really wary that I could be dissapointed, I'm not sure if it's just because I'm so desperate for it that I have started to notice things? I'm sure we've all been there, reading up on early preganancy signs and thinking 'oooh that's me', only to come on bang on time...

I think I will test again in a few days and see if I can turn my big fat maybe might be could be is it might be positive into a BFP!!!!!!!!

Hahha saucy dreams are good winkle. Congrats Kiwi! Really happy for you.

We have been dtd every other day for what's seems like a long time as I was supposed to OV last week but still no shift in bbt. Had a positive opk on friday although bbt is swaying lower. Not sure whether I have OVed or not.

Kind of not bothered because I don't want to know how many dpo I am or I will start obsessing again. I have done well this month not thinking about it much. Just another two weeks to go before AF due.

winkle2 · 14/10/2012 20:32

Lol - there were quite a few! One involved Gordon Ramsey?!?!

Fairy - how many DPO are you? Might be too early if you're getting faint lines?

Red - Keep going :) I told hub this week we need to have more sex, not just for baby making.

Boobs don't feel sore anymore so feel like I'm out this month :(

Had a good chat with a friend the other day. She had 2 miscarriages and then didn't get pregnant for a year after that so she understands how I'm feeling. She's really helped me to relax about the whole thing (after my meltdown last week Blush) so I feel ok and I'm not gonna let this get me down again.

well.... drumroll please....

I'm pregnant!
I can't stop crying
Definitely good luck and baby dust provided by this forum - I should have joined months ago!

-Winkle - I had really sore boobs about a week ago but it has completely disappeared now. Don't give up!!!

winkle2 · 14/10/2012 21:01

Oh yaay!! Well done!

How long we're you trying and is this your first? What worked this month do you think?

OP posts:
Fairy130389 · 14/10/2012 21:09

We've been trying for about 6 months.
I'm not sure what worked tbh - previously I've been really stressed about it, calculating the right day etc. When it was taking longer than we thought, I decided to just pretend we weren't trying.

No special anything to be honest, just been a bit more relaxed about it to be honest.

This is my first pregnancy yep...

I know this is going to sound crazy but you don't think the faint lines mean I'm going to have a mc do you? I have been feeling really rough the last week or so with flu, it's making me a bit paranoid??

I'm SURE this month will be lucky for you - my friend was trying for two years and she has just given birth to a healthy baby boy.

xx

winkle2 · 14/10/2012 21:15

I don't think the faint lines mean anything more than maybe the type of test you were using... Were they a cheap brand?

Thanks for your thoughts and wishes - hope you're right!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 14/10/2012 21:16

Congrats fairy really pleased for you. Let us know when the test gets darker.

Don't discount a BFP yet winkle sore boobs didn't happen to me until 6weeks (when preg with dd).

redstrawberry · 14/10/2012 22:35

Ramsey eh winkle? Errrm whatever takes your fancy Grin I know you will get Pregnant winkle it's only a matter if time! It has been a long wait for you but I am sure you will have a lot of happy times soon. Good things come to those who wait Smile

fairy I hope your 6th cycle luck passes onto me. I am on my 6th and we have been jumping so much I'm exhausted!

redstrawberry · 14/10/2012 22:36

Humping not jumping - bloody autocorrect! Although jumping would get you pretty exhausted too Grin

Lolcbcblemonlime · 14/10/2012 23:14

Ooooh winkle. I am also a big fan of Gordon Ramsey!!! I find him sooooo hot! And in my dreams he is the best shag ever Blush!!!

winkle2 · 14/10/2012 23:59

Lol I hate him!! I don't know why he turned up in my dream!!

OP posts:
MrsBri · 15/10/2012 07:05

Ha ha, winkle...dreams like that are just bonkers!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 15/10/2012 07:47

Maybe you secretary love him winkle! Grin
Nic how long u going for? I booked a 4 night break in Iceland for November! Am well excited!
Have a fab time! And don't take any tests with you!

MrsBri · 15/10/2012 08:37

I'm going for a week :-) Can't wait!

I have no tests left. I just have bad wind and itchy nipples. I am so sexy!!

Kittenkatzen · 15/10/2012 11:35

Ooh congrats kiwi and fairy how exciting for you both! winkle I have my fingers tightly crossed for you, good things come in threes right?! Grin

nic hope Saturday was wonderful, have a fabulous time in Iceland!

Bastarding AF turned up this morning - another short cycle, only 24 days this time Sad have just ordered some opks from amazon, feel like I need to start taking a bit more notice of whats happening rather than just hoping for the best as we have been doing.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 15/10/2012 12:33

Sorry kitten that is a short cycle. How many dpo do you think you were when af turned up?

winkle2 · 15/10/2012 12:57

Ah sorry she got you kitten. Any idea why you had a short cycle?

OP posts:
Kittenkatzen · 15/10/2012 16:09

Thanks girls it's more frustrating than anything. I haven't been tracking ov at all so going by my iPhone app only AF came at 10dpo, and for the second month in a row too Sad. Have done a little bit of googling research this morning and apparently short cycles aren't a problem as long as your lp is long enough (over 12 days seems to be the consensus). So I'll give the opk's a go for a month or two - hopefully I'm just ov'ing super early for some reason.

redstrawberry · 15/10/2012 19:51

Sorry about AF arriving kitten. Do you have short cycles like this every month? Sad

I have so much on my plate with work and family haven't had time this month to think about it.

LittleMissSnowShine · 15/10/2012 20:26

Well im back from hen wkend and in.one piece again...kinda! Cd12 now tho so thats me off the booze for hopefully a v long while Grin

Congrats fairy & kiwi!!

Fx for you now winkle - there can be no possible other excuse for a sex dream.involving Gordon Ramsey except a serious hormone surge Wink

Congrats nic, enjoy the honeymoon.and hope wedding was totally fab

Sorry about af kitten

hope all is going ok respisa & weechops (if you're reading)

No news with me really on the ttc front. IM hoping the agnus castus will help regulate my cycle a bit this month since its been really effective when.i've taken.it in the past and since mmc a couple of months my cycle has been crazy Confused even.if it does regulate things a bit tho i'd say cycle will still be on the long side and ov is still likely a week away but nonetheless the epic 10 day shagathon commences tonight. Wish me luck!!

winkle2 · 15/10/2012 21:09

10 days?! I feel tired just reading that! Good luck!

OP posts:
WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 15/10/2012 22:56

Good luck littlemiss you will need it 10 day shagathon sounds exhausting.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 15/10/2012 22:59

Well I had my consultants app. Didn't see the consultant but his junior doc. He didn't seem to know half as much about ttc as you ladies Confused.

He has booked me in for more tests and signed me up to a trial to see whether giving progesterone helps reduce mc. I said I would do it but I was and still am really unsure.

winkle2 · 15/10/2012 23:48

What does the trial involve? Dont do anything you're unsure about x
