Yay for Pink Shell and Bump !! congratulations on BFP's

Now to piss on the system - I got a BFN this morning Sad I'm only 11DPO so there is still a chance. tested with a Poundland hpt
However still getting the pink/red CM and feeling a little crampy down there so money is on AF being on her wicked way.

We are out tomorrow night as well - what do I do? On the one hand if AF is on her way - I want to make sure I havn't wasted a child free night, on the other I don't want to cock up and pickle the bean before it has a chance.

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 08/03/2013 10:54

RIGHT! Ill have a healthy dose of Posifrickintivity! AF looks like she is departing, so here we go. DTD commences this evening.
Wish me him luck! Grin

BumpKitty · 08/03/2013 10:57

thanks all :)

choc - i'd probably have a couple of drinks but not get legless! Now really you should wait till next Friday to test again have a nice evening out

Bodicea · 08/03/2013 10:57

pink that is exactly my method too and so far so it has worked three out o the four cycles we have actually tried. No if I can just get this one to stick around!!!

shell fab news. This is indeed a luck thread. We are on a roll here.

Is there anyone left to poas.

Looking forward to next Thursday now. Is no one else gonna be naughty and try and early one like I did? Am I the only bad one???

IBelieveInPink · 08/03/2013 10:58

Chocolate if it was me, I would go for it. But not go too crazy. Bean too little to do too much damage to it, so like you say, don't waste a night out. :)

BumpKitty · 08/03/2013 11:01

oh and congrats to you too bod so exciting xx

jmf294 · 08/03/2013 11:01

Fod- really sorry to hear about your brother. I have everything crossed that he will do well.

Wow- 3 BFPs today- on a roll ladies. Happy, healthy pregnancies to you all xx

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 11:09

bod = bad influence!

Floweroct · 08/03/2013 11:12

Yay bump this is turning out to be a good day!

Just got back from clinic and good news is looks like I'm going to ov soon, bad news uterus lining is very thin so I've been given oestrogen. Seems one step forward and one back and maybe this is reason for mc? Anyway guess have to look on positive and dtd the next few days and keep fingers crossed!

WillSantaComeAgain · 08/03/2013 11:18

I'm confused about who is up-duffed around here. Bod has confused me. Do people like stats? Do we need lists? [OCD emoticon]

Santa 2 MCs TTC cycle 0 (i.e. before first AF after ERPC)

But anyway, congrats to bump too. I like the Friday testing theory. What do you reckon ladies, I'm in cycle 0, 16 days following ERPC. Looking at my notes [another OCD emoticon] last time AF arrived 33 days after ERPC. I seem to OV on CD19 with 30 day cycles. So ERPC + 19 days = I should ov on 11 March. And then test on Friday 22 March

BumpKitty · 08/03/2013 11:23

sounds pretty comprehensive santa Grin do you do opks?

WillSantaComeAgain · 08/03/2013 11:26

I laugh in the face of puny OPKs... I went the whole hog and got a CBFM - I want to know EVERYTHING!!

Fuck. Fire alarm. Its pissing down and I have no coat.

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 11:32

Grin at santa typing on MN while fire alarm is ringing all around her.

My Fri wil be the 22nd too. I don't think there's much hope of a bfp though so might not test, but if I do IT WILL BE ON A FRIDAY!

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 11:33

Ps sorry choc about bfn. Don't rule it out til the witch arrives though. And go and have a drink and enjoy yourself my lovely.

WillSantaComeAgain · 08/03/2013 11:36

TBF, the fire alarm was only on intermittent so we were not required to evacuate. 'Twas mighty loud though and now I have a headache.

Only my first few days back at work so I am not inclined to do any work. I'd spend more time on the rest of MN, but there are some very shouty women out there and I'm probably not feeling strong enough.

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 11:38

Stay here then santa, it's warm and cosy and only happy-Shouty. Where is it kicking off in the wider (MN) world?

ChristineDaae · 08/03/2013 11:39

Congrats to all the BFPs and Fod, so so sorry to hear about your brother x

WillSantaComeAgain · 08/03/2013 11:43

Oh, the usual. A CC thread. A thread where someone is trying to post a reasonable question but comes across smug so lots of medals being handed out.
Though I do like the irrationally angry thread in Discussions of the day.

Does anyone know - if you hide a thread (eg. your previous ante-natal thread) will that stop it appearing in your most active list? Sept/Oct 13 is really busy and it keeps flashing up.

BumpKitty · 08/03/2013 12:06

you never know thunder (assuming mr thunder stepped up to the plate last night!)

ah santa i bow to the power of the CBFM

Thunderbuns · 08/03/2013 12:26

Me and mr T not the A-Team one got busy on CDs 8, 10 and 13 thus far, with a smiley on day 12. So not great but not totally out of the running.

Sorry santa I don't know about hiding threads. Give it a try though?

shellshock7 · 08/03/2013 13:18

Lucky hope you get your BFP next week...it was too early today so that BFN is not a worry Smile

flower this all sounds very hard for you, hope you are being kind to yourself

We follow a every other day TTC regime from CD10 to CD22 as pink I sit like a lunatic with my legs in the air for 20 mins! I had flu this month as well so think mother nature has been very kind to me for DTD thru that...pride in the turbo sperm at our house too Grin

santa fingers crossed for you too..I love lists too so have added to your stats

bump woo-bloody-hoo thats fantastic news Grin

choc I was crampy for two days before getting the BFP today....but in your position I wouldn't abstein all together (I got very drunk the night before BFP with DS as got a BFN and was very down at that point after MMC and needed the release...felt awful afterwards but he is perfect!)

So the mentalling has begun...I had severe implantation pains with first PG...which ended in MMC. Sailed thru first 12 weeks with DS (got PGP at 4 months but thats a while other issue!) and had cramps again with last MC...so i'm thinking cramps = unsuccessful PG Sad

We are also not telling anyone (apart from my DM) until after 6 weeks (lost last one at 5.5), and then just close family and if we are lucky will tell rest after 12 week scan...will defo have an early scan at 8 weeks if we get there.

Can I ask some advice...I am going to do a digital once the line gets a bit darker...I have two and will do another one to see the movement from 1-2 weeks PG to 2-3...do you wait one week or two to do the secoind digital? I've never POAS after getting the BFP before so this is new to me.

Stats list 8 March 2013

CamomileHoneyVanilla · 08/03/2013 13:32

Fod, I literally don't know what to say to that terrible terrible news. You poor thing, and your poor brother - thats so young to be facing something like that. I hope your family are able to pull together at this horrible time and provide each other all the love and support you'll be needing. Its just shit.

Amazing pregnancy-related news today. Congratulations Shell, IBIP and Bump. Wishing you all healthy, smooth, happy pregnancies and gorgeous Christmas babies.

I have been off sick again today, but was feeling a bit better so have been cleaning the house. Its not completely altruistic - am hoping to seduce DH tonight following gushing ewcm yesterday and he is always more seducable when its clean - he was sick yesterday and not sounding enthusiastic about dtd today at all. Also have bought steak and red wine (mmmmm) give me sperm. I'm not hopeful of actually conceiving this time round but it feels good to be back to trying if you know what I mean (joins Shaggy in shaving legs - in pristine bathroom!).

SpanishLady · 08/03/2013 13:45

OMG!

Here I am busy dong some work (which on a Friday is fairly amazing for me) and I suddenly recall Friday is POAS day so on I come and well.....

Congrats, congrats, congrats - am so happy to see such really lovely/fantastic news - Ibelieve I think you were on the September 2013 ante-natal thread? so it felt particularly resonate to hear about you. We need to get Saggy and Jmf now!

have any of you worked out your due dates yet? Any squeaking into November? I have tentatively joined the Nov ante natal thread and there are a few post MC but I tend to lurk as just cant yet get past my fear but as someone else just said we can say today I am pregnant so thats great.

To everyone else still waiting to poas - fx really crossed

SpanishLady · 08/03/2013 13:46

Cam! sorry you were Sept as well I think - my apologies - delighted to hear of your gushing.....!

SpanishLady · 08/03/2013 13:47

Fod - I am so very sorry to hear about your brother - best wishes all will be well.
