farmer i would defo test now or even wait til the morning and use the first pee of the day as they say you get a better reading.

Without sounding a bit forward but how often is everyone having sex?
Is it even possible to have too much sex when ur TTC?

farmersdaugther · 25/01/2013 16:43

Thanks Sam...mmm not sure about POAS as I don't want another BFN and frankly it's getting expensive GrinGrin

Glad you asked about sex.. I wanted to ask too.

Not enough I suspect....Blush

Congratulations on the BFPs....hopefully there will be a few more before the end of this thread!

Glad this is an anonymous forum Wink I don't think it's possible to have too much sex....but it does get kind of boring Blush we begin on around day 8 and then every other day until after I get my smiley, with an extra one for luck the day after the smiley! Smile

I have my appointment with the consultant on Tuesday so hopefully will get to the bottom of all these BFNs!

sambrads Well...this cycle, DH and I DTD every other day from CD8 - CD28. I've read that every day can reduce the quality of the sperm (I think maybe giving DH a day off means he can 'ahem', replenish!

This is my first cycle of TTC so still unsure as to my ov patterns so gigured every other day would guarantee a continuous supply...TMI!

SeriousStuff · 25/01/2013 17:03

...also I think every other day reduces the risk of it becoming a chore. However, if you're in the mood to do it more, then take advantage of it!

GettingObsessive · 25/01/2013 17:16

Sounds like we need to start a quiche for obsessive symptom spotters
Grin

We are also on our first "proper" cycle and DH can't count got a bit carried away so we did the deed on days 7, 9, 10, 13,14 and 15. In fact it was twice on days 13 and 15 Blush

It's fair to say that is much more than usual and we were both broken quiet tired by the end of it.

Livened · 25/01/2013 20:41

Oh and referenc to DTD we were at it like bunnies of my fertile days, and not done it since! My DH is gutted it didn't last... ;-)

sambrads · 25/01/2013 20:48

hi livened i posted before i seen ur post.
I would wait til ur AF is due as you might get a wrong result if too early.
It seems such a long wait i cant test til 10th feb Sad

Livened · 25/01/2013 21:06

Hi Sam - yes I know I should wait, and I will, but I'm just sooo impatient!!

It seems as if every person I know or see has a baby/is pregnant - or is it just me??

We were going to wait u til my DS was 2 to try again, but It just feels like the right time to start trying again. It would be too good to be true if we got a bfp first time again... But I live in hope!

Hoping for some good news from you all and fingers crossed for positives in the next few days for us all.

LeenHS · 26/01/2013 08:29

Hello any news? Last night let myself get too excited as thought I could feel unusual twinges and maybe itchy boobs. But think I am over analysing it. This morning feel nothing other than dull ache of cramps (usual for me before AF) feeling a bit disheartened.

sambrads · 26/01/2013 09:35

livened my DC3 is 6 months was gonna wait until she was 1 but ya just never know with trying how long it will take so feel ready to start now was lucky getting pregnant first month with her but like you say not sure if it will be so lucky this time round.
leen fingers crossed its pregnancy symptoms and not AF its awful how ya look out for every little thing but it is only expected.

farmersdaugther · 26/01/2013 19:25

Evening All!

Good luck everyone x

Farmers daughter so sorry. V disappointing. Hope february will be your lucky month! X

Livened · 26/01/2013 20:07

Hard luck Farmers - my DH talked me out of testing today with a first response test (says up to 6 days before af due!?!). But I've promised to wait until Wednesday...back to googling early pregnancy signs and due date calculators! X

farmersdaugther · 26/01/2013 20:43

Thank you, yes very disappointed Hmm but that's just how it goes. Had a good cry this morning about it all. Struggling with morale at the moment. Feeling quite down, but saw loads of friends this afternoon this that was lovely.

Next month!!!

GettingObsessive · 26/01/2013 21:07

Eugh. Having tested on Friday and got a BFN I got myself into the mindset that I clearly wasn't pg and that we'd just try again next month. Now the nausea has returned and I keep getting hopeful.

It just feels really unfair that I am obviously having much worse PMT symptoms than usual, this month of all months.

I'm just getting cross now Angry

LeenHS · 27/01/2013 09:23

So know what you mean. Hiw early did you test getting ob? When is af due?

Since we started trying my pms symptons seem to have started earlier before AF and been more of them.. Cramps, sore boobs. It's so confusing and gets me excited only to be disappointed. AF due tomorrow. I think the only sympton that's different is a sore throat that comes and go's. I keep thinking I'm getting a cold but never do. Anyway as ever, stressing about arrival of AF. 9 months ttc sounds so much better than 10.

sambrads · 27/01/2013 10:03

farmer sending u big hugs hope ur ok and hopefully next month is ur month.
geetingobsessive maybe you tested too early hold off and test in a few days.
leen im also having sore boobs and some cramping way before my AF so dont know what to think. maybe its ovulation symptoms cause my fertle days were from 21st til 26th and today i dont feel as bad. i really wis i knew what was happening with my body Sad
i am trying for my 4th child and you go through the same emotions as ur first. Sad

BlablaSos · 27/01/2013 19:26

Hi all
Tested today and it was a BFP!! I was actually 5 days late for AF but I really felt like she was coming, and I was poorly, so didn't rush out to get a test, also it was costing me too much money being impatient!
Good luck to everyone still to test, and for everyone else next month.

Iheartcrunchiebars · 27/01/2013 19:33
