oh oh oh! santa you just got me so excited.... and so i checked my period diary app, and if I count erpc day (yesterday) as day 1 of cycle, and I miss out this time round (probably) then AF won't be due until 8th April... DAMN. missed the bus. Hope you catch it though :) go super sperm, go!

of course since this erpc was the second one, who knows what will happen to this cycle... anything except "normal" and I've got a chance. I know DH has super sperm (and let's not forget about super eggs either) because we got pg on the first attempt the last two times.

with you folks on the ovulating = horny. seems to be my main symptom

Here too! Blush Natures way I suppose!

TheWoot · 12/03/2013 14:52

Hi there everyone, can I please join you on here? I had a MC at 6 weeks, the week before Christmas. Got pregnant again in Jan, another MC a week and a half ago. (Still bleeding slightly TMI) Very boo! TTC again now. I am very likely to become a nutter checking for ovulation twice a day, feeling phantom pains etc...I might need some help keeping sane.
Apart from that, all is well. Good luck to you all! xx

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 12/03/2013 14:57

Welcome TheWoot. Sorry youve been through this too. Its rubbish. Jump right in. xx

TheWoot · 12/03/2013 15:05

Thank you Catpuss. Keeping positive and trying to take on board all the advice people have, but to be honest there is so much I get overwhelmed and think....right lets let nature take it's course!!
It's a waiting game now, so it will be nice to have some people to wait with!! xx

JBrd · 12/03/2013 15:08

Mummytothearkbuilder Ooooh, I'm in/near Cambridge, too! And I'm with you on the being shattered from dtd, it's exhausting. Remember the days when we did it 'just' for fun?!

Janie Hmmm, I guess I could be persuaded to test on Friday.... Even if out of fear of being fish slapped by Thunder Grin. Are you guys testing in the morning?

Icklem Good news about your BFN! Let's hope that's the first and last time you have to hear that phrase! Don't know about spotting and ttc... Although it does sounds as if it's on its way out. Could you ask the EPU? Although they'll probably say to wait. Do you think you're ovulating? You could start doing OPKs to check, and then have swi when you get a positive. Just a thought...

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 12/03/2013 15:23

Ive just worked out, using my APP, Im not due to POAS until the 29th! Thats flipping forever!
Although it does happen to be a friday, so I can at least stick to the system! Grin

icklemssunshine1 · 12/03/2013 15:24

JBrd, got a feeling I'd be told to wait too, especially as v light, no pain etc. Just want to know for def, so frustrating!! At least I for my BFN - yup, only time I want to celebrate that!! Bought ovulation sticks & although I got 2 lines 1 was slightly thinner than other & apparently they both have to look the same or the left has to be darker than the right. Will try again tomorrow & wear my glasses!! :)

Bootyboo · 12/03/2013 15:24

Finally today is over yay!! I never realised how much time being CBA reading MN birth stories & every topic in Am I Being Unreasonable could take up! Grin And keep me entertained for the entire day lol Smile

Still no sign of AF although I am a bit slightly crampy.....

alyant79 · 12/03/2013 16:56

ooh mummy and JBrd I'm around cambridge too :)

I also forgot to say yay for your bfn ickle. phew! I think with spotting intermittent and not every day I'd be tempted to ttc.

Fx bootyboo. Af stay away!

Woot that is really rubbish. Poor you, but welcome. 3rd time lucky?

JanieLovesCake · 12/03/2013 20:09

yes jbrd i plan to poas as soon as i wake up....so long as mother nature's nasty side doesn't get me first (AF due thursday). loving the 'fertile friday' - can't remember who said that!!

it's taking every ounce of willpower not to nip to tescos and get a test now. this is worse than staying off chocolate!

hi woot

WillSantaComeAgain · 12/03/2013 20:11

Maybe time to start a new thread, ladies?

Thunderbuns · 12/03/2013 20:18

The system. THE SYSTEM!! The beautiful system.

fod27 · 12/03/2013 20:36

ick I'm in the same boat (hopefully we go off course at drop anchor on baby island) keep thinkin "oh ace it's stopped" then battle with myself about risking going pad free, and then I'm hit with the brown gooey conception barrier....stupid vagina!!!

Soddin fiancé is way tooooo considerate and doesn't want to risk it "just in case" typical the one time I want an inconsiderate bloke to shag me stupid and it's a no go.....never thought I'd long to be 21 again hahaa

However he has yet to face a woman on a mission......(rubs chin and chuckles whilst thinkin of her evil plan mwuahahaaa) I shall tie a splint to it if I have to
woot welcome your in good company just a shame shitty circumstances has brought us all together
Garden your giving him farrrr more credit than he deserves lol..... And me! That'd take a lot of WD40, cod liver oil, and some weird sex harness
saggy 5 minutes!!!!! Lucky lucky mare! You do make me laugh....apart from when the fiancé looks up and asks "what's so funny? What's that your reading" hahaaa at that point I could poke you in the ribs for getting me into trouble hahaaa I am then forced to hide the page....bad bad girls bad influence ;)

Mummytothearkbuilder · 12/03/2013 20:46

The thread is getting uber full - if a new one is started will there be a link? I can't MN at work tomorrow (boss is in the office - how rude!!) and will be gutted if I can't find you ladies - need a daily dose of you lovelies to get me through!! X

Thunderbuns · 12/03/2013 20:54

Hi ark, why don't you start it?

fod27 · 12/03/2013 21:03

Awwwww ark ain't you a sweetie? I hate those jobs where you actually have to work for money hahaa

Mummytothearkbuilder · 12/03/2013 21:07

I can do (sorry if I seemed a bit lazy in waiting for someone else) - this is the first big thread I've been on so wasn't sure how it worked or whether we had to reach 1000 replies.

I am not very imaginative when it comes to thread titles - although I do think Fods posifrickentivity should appear somewhere - any ideas or preferences xx

JanieLovesCake · 12/03/2013 21:13

ooh yes it has to have posifrickintivity...and maybe a mention of fertile friday :)

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 12/03/2013 21:15

The big fat posifrickentivity but only on a friday thread?

Thunderbuns · 12/03/2013 21:18

Yeah I like it saggy! Keep the ttc after mc bit too I reckon Smile

Mummytothearkbuilder · 12/03/2013 21:28

Sounds like an ace title - I'm happy to start a new thread - do I need to put a link in this one - sorry I'm still a MN novice! X

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 12/03/2013 21:29

The big fat posifrickintivity, but only on a friday thread, TTC after MC and not to lose your head?

SaggyOldClothCatpuss · 12/03/2013 21:31

Yes. def a link.
