The Elderberry Pavlovas are pimping everyday – a lovely thread for 30+ ladies TTC #1 (Thread 7)

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Newbies very welcome provided they meet the entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, must have a special pot, NO instadiffers) and bring a bouquet of sausages when they join!

[Tallyra]

Probably not for at least a month. I'll definitely have an idea either way by then though!

More early testing going on here! Tested at 6am this morning with first response, a very faint line developed! Had no other tests so had to wait until 10am when Boots FINALLY opened and did a Boots own and a clear blue. The boots own said negative but then the clear blue said 'pregnant 1-2'! BFP!!! I'm only 11dpo though, too early to get excited?!?

merkin really made me laugh about you being like the twits!

[cherrycoconut]

OMG Alex Congrats... I think! So many lines, so many maybe's! Can't even imagine the emotions that go with that. I think I'm with Bunny and would rather leave it as long as possible!

[Alexandra6]

Thanks cherry I think because I've had so much trouble getting my body to ovulate and it looked like it finally did on clomid, I kind of wanted to know either way so gave in to early testing! However time is now standing still!

tally are you ok? I'm trying to read back and find out what's going on as I haven't been on this thread long.

[cherrycoconut]

Bootiful chart Barking I am admiring the rising curve with a degree of envy!
Liking the guest Irish smiley today. I guess we could all use a bit of this

[Alexandra6]

Spreading luck round too

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Alex well done you! 11DPO isn't too early (not like my 7dpo) so don't worry too much!
barking any news? (just typed your name as baring, maybe because of all the talk of stripping last night )

[Tallyra]

I was ok for a while, then I changed the channel on tv and call the midwife came on and I became a bit of a wreck. then I had to go out in the sleet to get firewood in and the fire nearly went out. so today isn't particularly good. I should be doing housework before dh comes home at 4 and I've got as far as washing some clothes and opening a bar of chocolate.

[Tallyra]

it also doesn't help that I still have a headache, day 3....

[Pipbin]

Congrats Alex seems like you've got early parole and won't get to be a wizened old lag like me.

[barkingtreefrog]

Oh my goodness so much going on!!
Nothing happening here. I pointed out to DP that I didn't cry yesterday and he looked at me like I was a lunatic and told me all women were weird. I pointed out that I hadn't had the usual explosion of spots which is my other sure sign. He told me to stop getting my hopes up.
To be fair although my luteal phase is most commonly 8 days, it has been known to be as short as 6 and as long (just the once) as 10. And there's 10 days difference between my shortest and longest cycle over the last 15 months, so it's difficult to pin point exactly when I'm actually 'late'. which is bloody annoying. I'm staying realistic for now. Got two very busy days at work ahead so plenty to keep me distracted if AF doesn't show by tomorrow morning.

[barkingtreefrog]

Alex sounds amazing! Can't argue with two out of three positives!!
Were you not ovulating at all pre clomid?

[Thundercatsarego]

Wow congrats alex!

tall

Fx barking!

bunny are you testing soon?

[barkingtreefrog]

Why thank you cherry I think it is my favourite of my charts thus far .

[Boodleandherpotofwonderfulness]

Congratulations, Alex, joining Elderberries seems like it was very lucky for you (BFP within 24 hours)! I know you've been trying for a while and that you've been around on other threads that I stalk in conception so we can't hold any instadiffing against you!

It does seem that our newbies have better luck sometimes though. I'm considering taking offence at some innocuous comment so that I can flounce off the thread and then come back as a newbie and partake in a little of that luck myself.

[Thundercatsarego]

boo do you want me to tell you that you smell?

[cherrycoconut]

though you could maybe join as a newbie on another thread to steal some of their luck? Then come back and spread it around a bit?! We might allow that ;)

[barkingtreefrog]

Boodle, I think you should just relax. I've heard you get upduffed as soon as you stop trying too hard.

[Boodleandherpotofwonderfulness]

Ouch, Thunder , Cherry , and Barking ! Triple flounce! That means when I come back, I'm going to get pregnant with triplets, right?!

[Boodleandherpotofwonderfulness]

I said I wanted it to be an innocuous comment! For example, I am absolutely apoplectic over Barking's blatant chart favouritism a few posts back. How do you think your other charts feel when they hear you say that, eh? Heartless, that's what you are! I can't spend any more time in the (virtual) presence of such cruelty. I'm off!

Harrrrumph!

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Good flounce boodle

barking stop trying to stop us get our hopes up!
boodle come back! This is your month remember!

[BoodleLovesPot]

Hello everyone - you don't know me at all and that is because I am COMPLETELY BRAND NEW! However, I have been trying for a very long time and am therefore well overdue a BFP and shall have one because I am now ensnaring the legendary 'Luck of the Elderberry'!

[barkingtreefrog]

Oo, a newbie, hello pot

I think you'll fit in splendidly .

[CatsCantFlyFast]

Pot welcome in. We love newbies. I expect you shall be diffed within seconds. Join us on the sofa and relax....

[BoodleLovesPot]

Ahh, so kind of you all to welcome me into the fold!
