Bodicea · 05/03/2013 19:30

Is that date post ovulation ? Ovulated 25th according to period tracker. So 8 days! V early. But is same as last time with the boobies. I haven't had any implantation pains this time though so I thought it would be negative.

IBelieveInPink · 05/03/2013 19:31

DIY!!! You caved! And boo to the bfn. Still time though. Not over till af arrives n all that. Maybe don't give up just yet....

Bod- yay! Fab news! Although again with messing up the system!!!!

After the good talking to you all gave me yesterday? And now rebellion in the ranks?! Well, I will be waiting til Friday
Anyone else still to pee on Friday? Or has everyone poopoo'd the system?!

Mummytothearkbuilder · 05/03/2013 20:00

Amazing news bod!!!!! Massive congrats!! Xx

Bodicea · 05/03/2013 20:21

Hanging my head in shame. Sorry for ruining the system.
Just want to say how lovely every on is one here. Been perusing other topics on mums net and I can't get over how aggressive and judgemental some of the posters can be. But everyone has been so lovely on the ttc section . Never seen a cross word. Everyone is so supportive.

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 05/03/2013 20:27

Agreed. Here and in Miscarriage/pregnancy loss I have had amazing help and support. I love you guys!

ChocolateCremeEggBag · 05/03/2013 20:27

Wow Bod! Congratulations!!!
When you say you weren't testing til Monday - was that DPo14? As that's when I'm testing should I go and waste a hpt now?

On ov-ing - I only found out after using a CBfM that I ov on CD18/19 so had spent 10 months ttc-ing DS at the wrong time, got BFP first time of using the monitor. Then got my MC BFP second month using cB digi's. This means I "expect" to get pg quickly and it's been a bit of a wake up call that I didn't get a BFP straight away last cycle. I found EWCM didn't always come

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 05/03/2013 20:31

I am going to POAS in a moment. But I'm looking for a BFN! Confused should get one today, then it's all systems go once AF buggers off! Grin

MrsSpencerReid · 05/03/2013 20:31

Hello, just dipping my toe in the water here, had a scan this morning showing my mc is complete so trying to move on a bit now. I'm not sure if we are ttc but we aren't using any contraception so I guess we are!! Sorry to see so many others on this thread and really sorry to read tins sad news, if you're reading you posted a link on another thread I was on that was the most helpful I've come across so thank youThanks

Thunderbuns · 05/03/2013 20:46

Bod you system rebel!! Congratulations though, am thrilled for you!

I am terrible at getting over excited re encouraging poasing so am going to keep mouth shut except for to say FRIDAY ladies.

mrs, welcome welcome. So sorry for your loss. You are in good company here and we'll look after you can't promise we're not a bit bonkers at times though You also come at a good time- we're all about to get lovely sticky healthy bfps over the next few weeks- join us!

MrsSpencerReid · 05/03/2013 20:52

Thanks thunder and yay bod Smile I have read back a bit but I am rubbish at remembering who said what and I can't cheat check back on phone!
Let's all make some 2013/early 2014 babies Grin

Bodicea · 05/03/2013 20:58

Sorry cream egg don't understand all these acronyms. My lmp was 9th feb, have a 30 day cycle and I am lucky enough to be very regular. I ovulated on 25th and was due my period on the 11th march. So have tested 8 days post ov. Actually tested yesterday to but was negative then. Now for the hard bit of waiting.
Unfortunately found out last week they buggered up my second lot of bloods - couldn't do a repeat as I had started taking aspirin as well as ttcing. I decided with the midwife I would carry on ttcing this month an stop the next - And come off the aspirin when I got af as have to be off a month for the bloods to be accurate.
Too late now. Looks like its clexane for me for the next 11 months. But all the bruises will be worth it in the end.

Thunderbuns · 05/03/2013 21:05

choc what was your dtd 'schedule' with the cb digi opks?

Bodicea · 05/03/2013 21:06

Baking tins just read back. So gutted for you. I was really hopefully for you.

Bodicea · 05/03/2013 21:09

garden was just at my mums. She didn't say anything about the boobs but they are really quite big now. I am a 32e normally so they really show and look like comedy fake ones.

shellshock7 · 05/03/2013 21:16

Bod congrats woop woop that's brill news Grin

GardenWorm · 05/03/2013 21:26

Bodicea Smirk. In that case I reckon she deffo saw them but decided to keep quiet! I WANT comedy fake boobs, especially if they come with a BFP ;o)

jmf294 · 05/03/2013 21:34

Bod- congratulations!!
I POAS today as well and negative!!
I think my period is starting tonight which means this cycle has just been 22 days. I'm only 6 weeks post miscarriage and I feel totally rotten- cold and cough ever since, I'm coughing so much I hurt everywhere.
Couldn't TTC now even if I wanted to!!

ChocolateCremeEggBag · 05/03/2013 21:56

Hi Bod - we are on the same cycle! I'm 8DPO (days past ov) today too. But I am holding out until at least Friday to test.

Thunder - my schedule has been to DTD nightly through the 5 high readings and 2 peak days, very much a sex festival. But that is the advice from the CB people, am pretty sure the opks only show a surge in hormone - not that you've ov'd which can happen later. That then leads to the late AF's that getvyou all excited for nothing. Apparently temping is the best way to actually tell if/when ( but I can't be faffed with that)

jmf - sorry you are feeling rotten, hope you have plenty of medicines stocked up
