Thanks girls, that makes me feel better - I was properly narked with DH last night, not helped by the news article link I came in to find on my work email this morning which was a jokey piece by guy bemoaning how ttc had taken the romance out of their sex life. Apparently DH thought it would make me laugh HmmHmm

Yep this morning's opk was much darker than the one last night - propbably the only real positive strictly speaking (the other two were lighter than the control line).

Hey everyone, I am so ready for Christmas now or rather the holiday part of Christmas. I'm so tired. I feel like we might have a better chance this cycle since my fertile week falls on Christmas and New Year when he is off work. Although the stress of cooking for all of my family on Xmas Day might hinder things a bit. Why did I volunteer??
alliwantforxmas that's great news about your results. I'm having some blood taken tomorrow for the same things and I'm already nervous.
Oh, wonder how little is today. Wasn't it the scan today?

twinklestar2 · 19/12/2012 14:24

Thx red that is so nice of you to say and made me feel a bit teary.

No sign of AF as yet but I don't feel pregnant, I don't feel like she's coming, I don't feel anything.

LittleMissSnowShine · 19/12/2012 14:36

twinkle - no AF and feeling teary??? I really REALLY have my fx for you. You will recall, me, who has been pg three times now, being absolutely 100% certain a few weeks ago that I did not FEEL pg at all and only poas because I had a big birthday bash to go out to that night and I wanted to be on the safe side before hitting the Wine and...well...you know how that turned out. FX for you that AF isn't showing today, tomorrow or at all!

Kitten - Grr at DH sending you that!!! Men totally don't get it sometimes, even the most supportive of DHs and DPs

Thingy - good luck with all the cooking and good news about being off work during fertile period, hopefully Santa is bringing some baby dust your way

res - sorry you're feeling a bit down, hope this is cd6 of the cycle you get your bfp

Well girls went for scan this morning, back in EPU where I was in July finding out I'd had mmc, with same midwife, and initially (i'd forgotten about the whole needing a full bladder thing) she had the scanner at the wrong angle and while she could see the sac that was all that was showing up to begin with and I was just completely ready for that to be that. A bit of shifting around and there was little bean and a heartbeat! Great news obviously but they still aren't sure what's causing the on/off bleeding since nothing obvious showed up on the scan. Haven't had any since y'day afternoon and midwife was tentatively optimistic that at 6 weeks it could still be implantation bleeding. She's booked me in again on 2nd Jan though just to keep an eye on things. Off to GP tomorrow to get my official hospital referral sorted out. Feeling hopeful and nervous all at the same time, meeting my mum for a (decaff) coffee this afternoon and then heading off to get my hair done - keep the good mood going! X

weetinselchops · 19/12/2012 14:39

Twinkle no sign is a good sign. Fx af stays away!

alliwantforxmas · 19/12/2012 15:36

Little that's such good news. Really pleased for you, and wish you and your little bean all the best for a peaceful and smooth Christmas and New Year.

Twinkle glad AF has stayed away so far. Hopefully you will get your bfp just in time for Christmas.

SantaKittenClaws · 19/12/2012 15:43

Woohoooooo little that is good news, how lovely :):)

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 19/12/2012 17:14

little so pleased everything is looking good for you. Congrats

resipsa you're right. My dd was conceived by dtd 5days pre ov. Dh clearly has good sperm, they can def stick around for days. Glad you are feeling a bit better after af.

twinkle no news is good news you know. I didn't get any symptoms till at least week 5 with dd, so I say lack of symptoms mean nothing. Fx she stays away.

kitten grr at your dh for his insensitivity.

twinklestar2 · 19/12/2012 17:33

Great news littlemiss :)

I've got a work Xmas party on Friday so will take a test on Friday morning. This month I've drunk and smoked loads cause I've been looking towards next year. Maybe I'll be that anecdote!

RedRobin1 · 19/12/2012 17:56

Glad the scan went well little

I am flying the no AF banner higher twinkle. Fx she stays away x

I have some tugs and twinges today but not getting too excited by it.

fatasbrandybutter · 19/12/2012 18:40

Ooh winkle that sounds promising...! Keeping fx for you...

Congrats little that's great news!

ReindeerOutdoors · 20/12/2012 07:29

Keeping an eye out for winkle. Stay buggered off winkle's af!

ReindeerOutdoors · 20/12/2012 07:30

Oh and excellent news littlemiss!

SantaKittenClaws · 20/12/2012 07:31

Morning, just checking in for any news from winkle...

Got 2 proper dark +ve opks yesterday so jumped DH last night Smile Was also getting some mild low down cramping yesterday eve which I haven't noticed before - poss caused by the EPO? Fx it's a good sign either way. Anyway that's me into the 2ww I think - or 10 day wait as it seems to be the last few months Hmm

Hope everyone's ok this lovely rainy morning

weetinselchops · 20/12/2012 07:39

Well I finally got a + opk this morning after 2 cycles of nothing! :). Cd14 today and we dtd last night and planning on it for the next fee nights too. Really hope this is our month.

Little that's great news!

Twinkle still no sign of af? Oh fx for you!

RedRobin1 · 20/12/2012 08:38

oh its so dark today. my temps have spiked up very high. Trying not to get my hopes up because they only come crashing down every month. wonder why we do this to ourselves every month? I am getting the same twinges and tugs as previous months but still keep deluding myself that theres a small teeny tiny chance that we may have caught it this month. can't wait till the 2ww ends.

winkle fx for you. really hoping she hasnt shown her ugly mug.

It is so grey and gloomy today!

resipsa · 20/12/2012 08:52

kitten and wee - you're definitely cycle buddies Fatas wish we could be but I don't ovulate until CD18 at the earliest so everyone tends to leave me behind. That said, this month it means that the most fertile day would be 31 Dec. Now that would be a good story for a DC's 18th party...
littlemiss so pleased for you. It's horrible when you're lying there and they are looking for something, anything and then they find it! Relax and enjoy Xmas. You'll be in week 13 before you know it.
winkle hope no news is good news
Everyone else - hope we get the Xmas present we all want most this year.

twinklestar2 · 20/12/2012 08:58

Thanks girls for all thinking of me. If hopes and wishes brought BFPs I would def have mine by now! Still no sign of AF. Allowing myself to get a teeny bit excited - only a teeny bit mind!

Good luck with the dtd kitten and wee!

twinklestar2 · 20/12/2012 09:00

Res - I'm fertile next on nye too so we've planned to stay in.

Red - stay positive :)

ReindeerOutdoors · 20/12/2012 09:23

fatasbrandybutter · 20/12/2012 10:10

RedRobin1 · 20/12/2012 14:29

thanks everyone. reindeer my AF is due on 30th Dec. So 10 days to go yet. I have a dreadfully long luteal phase.

If I get nausea then I'll poas early, otherwise I am just waiting for AF to show up.

Keeping Positive. It WILL Happen.
