great idea, I'll have to remember it next month or two after I'm allowed TTC again.

happylass · 14/03/2013 19:30

I'm amazed Merkin. You truly are a PIMP guru! Ics are 20ml I think? Maybe I'll hold off for a few days see if AF turns up on Sunday.

haycorn that doctor is an idiot. I've had the 'relax and don't think about it' b0ll0cks twice in the last week. I calmly mentioned that actually, recent research suggests that's not the case, while actually wanting to slap them repeated across the face with a wet fish until they recanted their ridiculous advice.

Went to the physio tonight and was talking about the hen do last weekend (the hen is a mutual friend) and he asked why I hadn't been drinking. I figured I couldn't be arsed making up a story and told him we were ttc and he said if there was a chance I could be pregnant he wouldn't do the acupuncture he had planned to do. I thought this was very strange given the berries that had tried acupuncture for conception reasons, but he said there was one reported case of a miscarriage in the first trimester after the woman had had acupuncture. It hadn't been reported as a casual link, but he'd prefer not to do it if there was a chance I could be pg.

I'm still imagining heaps of symptoms. Annoyingly, DP is away until Saturday night, and the last time I convinced myself I was upduffed it was me that was away for 3 days. Maybe that's more the link, I've got too much time on my own to consider what could be happening Sad.

Question, hubby had jizz test last Friday, do you think he should ring for results tomorrow?

ILoveMyCats · 14/03/2013 20:06

Merkin! Just read through! Excellent news! .

I was going to post today to see if anyone had ever had a BFP from an IC, as I wasn't sure about them. Lo and behold! Most gratifying. An, if you dare to slope off, I will track you down!!

DH is away tonight and think i had some decent CM earlier, but who the hell knows? Is there any reason not to start temping mid cycle? Other than to annoy FF?

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 20:31

barking cough up, I want to know all your symptoms
cats thank you! Re. Temps, I would say start as soon as you can, the more "data" you collect the sooner you will have something to compare it against.

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 20:32

bunny no harm in trying to call, at worst if they don't have them yet they will tell him when to expect them

barkingtreefrog · 14/03/2013 20:32

Bunny - it took 3 weeks for my DP to get his results, and when they came back to our GP he got a call from the receptionist. Different authorities might be different though.

barkingtreefrog · 14/03/2013 20:38

merkin I was very moody/tearful after Ov, unusually so, and it lasted 3 or 4 days. Haven't previously noticed this, it's usually one tearful day a month for me, and that's my sign that AF is due the next day!
I've been feeling exhausted for the last couple of days, and have had strange feelings in my stomach all day, similar to nausea but more like butterflies, when you're nervous about something. Also had something similar to a stitch, just on the right, not a pain as bad as period pain, just something I noticed. It's all just strange because it's out of the ordinary, can't really think of a reasonable explanation.
But I'm only 5dpo and I'm home alone and my imagination is just running away.. Need to reel it in before I drive myself crazy!

Bunnygirlie · 14/03/2013 20:49

Thanks ladies!

barking my mind is working overtime too! I DTD last fri and sun so way too early if the a miracle happened Confused

OP posts:
CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 20:52

I started with cramps/weird stomach feeling on 6DPO. It really wasn't cramping, but I can't come up with another word that describes it. A bit bubbly, a bit stretchy, a bit pulling and pinching and some short sharp pricks. I had to have a nap yesterday and the day before but that could just be laziness!

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 20:55

bunny I reckon I conceived 4th or 5th so only a few days before you!

Bunnygirlie · 14/03/2013 21:07

I don't know when I ov'd this month, opk tested neg, thurs, sat and sun, forgot fri.

I think all my imagined symptoms are due to my IBS Hmm

OP posts:
Pipbin · 14/03/2013 21:38

OMG, congrats Merkin. I assume you are going to POAS again tomorrow.

I've changed my details on the list as I ov'd earlier than predicted. I have got no chance this month as DH is almost about to die has a cold and was therefore unable to DTD at the required date.

Just noticed alot of ladies on that list haven't crossed over to this thread!

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 22:02

yeah I know was going to do some culling but didn't want to be mean. We can start afresh on the impending new thread!

barkingtreefrog · 14/03/2013 22:05

I think that means we get their bfps doesn't it? Given they're not here to claim them?

Bunnygirlie · 14/03/2013 22:11

barking now I am imagining a crystal maze golden ticket type, start the fans please, and all the BFPs start flying around!

merkin we have filled a thread in less than a week lol

OP posts:
barkingtreefrog · 14/03/2013 22:41

Now that would please me. Crystal maze, only the crystal is a bfp....

I think I have a problem. I just PIMPed. Just for shits and giggles as they say. On an opk. And godammit if I don't have a faint bloody line!! Wtf? Please someone remind me I'm only 5dpo and I can't possibly know anything relevant yet?! And it's my first month on these opks so unlike merkin I can't compare with previous months and say this is out of the ordinary. So I'm just being ridiculous even bothering to PIMP when I can't interpret it to mean anything anyway!

I think I may just have lost control Shock

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 22:43

barking argh!! Don't know what to advise. I think it's a good sign (but even I wouldn't pimp for a HPT on 5dpo Wink)

CatsCantFlyFast · 14/03/2013 22:45

But I am very impressed at your pimping

Pipbin · 14/03/2013 22:50

Barking, not wishing to piss on your chips but for an opk to count as a positive for bfp then it has to be as dark as the control line. I get a faint line on a opk from ov to AF. Sorry, might still be something.
