Hi everyone! Mind if I join in too?? came off the cerazette pill a couple of months ago, was still being careful tho, but 2 weeks ago had a week's worth of unprotected sex. I think im due on in the next few days (am really irregular since the cerazette), but for the last week my boobs have been really sore, and today my back has started aching. I know it's WAY too soon but i've already done 5 tests and all a big fat NO-NO :( i've spent the last few days googling the life out of how long i should wait to take a successful test but seriously cant wait!!!!! so glad to see im not the only impatient one tho!!! Congrats to everyone who got positive results....really hope i get one soon too!! xx

Hello! 9dpo.... Ttc #1
I'm feeling pretty premenstrual right now- AF due in about a week, so this month could go either way... Just gave up smoking a couple of weeks ago and the cravings completely left me about a week ago though... Is that a good sign?

I have 32 day cycles... Can anyone tell me if they think I could be pregnant? Grin

Tea1Sugar · 31/07/2013 15:06

Right I'm back in for cycle2! 1dpo now, really hoping this is our month. Fingers crossed! Bfp/Af is due whilst we're away, 2 days before we fly home but have packed some cheapy sticks Smile

I'm 4/5 DPO....first cycle. Started off feeling +ve and excited, but worrying now. Feels like a lottery of sorts!

Good luck all x

Tea1Sugar · 31/07/2013 15:29

Same kitty, how many times did you manage to dtd? We only did cd7,9,11 and ovulation day on 13

KittyKK · 31/07/2013 15:41

Hi Tea - we DTD on CD 10, 14, 15 and 19....O'd on CD 16/17.

If this cycle doesn't work for us, I'm kidnapping DH for a holiday next time I O ;) His early morning meetings and late night conf calls don't fit with the baby making schedule that I'm planning lol

Newbie here...DefinitelySometime & WriterWannaBe...CONGRATS!!! Clicking through each page of this thread was very suspenseful, and I cheered when I saw your news. I wish the same success to others :-)

My summary;

Dec-12; Stopped taking the pill & started stalking Mumsnet talk.

Jan-13; Started folic acid + daily vitamin, but intentionally avoiding pregnancy (wanted to give my body a shot to revert to "normal" after so many years on the pill)

May-13; Started charting seriously (had been keeping track on an app), but added basal temperature and CM readings at this point, to make sure I really know what's going on with my body.

Jul-13; Actively TTC. I ovulate tomorrow and have DTD Sun, Mon, Tue and will do so again later tonight for good measure!

So yep...guess I am on the 2ww train also. Good luck to all!

Keden · 31/07/2013 19:47

Oops forgot to add this is my first time TTC. Been married for 4yrs and finally decided it's time.

ArkadyRose · 01/08/2013 00:03

pulls up a chair Hello ladies, I'm here for the 2ww too. 2dpo by my reckoning, CD11 - been dtd nightly since Sunday, so now we're just waiting and hoping this one's caught.

Tea1Sugar · 01/08/2013 07:43

All fingers crossed for all of us.

Shall we start a stats poas list:

bushprincess · 01/08/2013 14:36

Hi all! also on the 2ww... came off the minipill on the 24th June so still a bit unsure of cycle (though had always been pretty regular 28 day before the pill)... supposedly could poas on the 10th Aug... but might try and hold off till the 14th (because of uncertainty about cycle).... haha... lets see if I have the will power eh?!!

so...
bushprincess TTC# Cycle 1.... POAS 14th Aug

good luck everyone!!!

bushprincess · 01/08/2013 14:37

opps - thats TTC#1

Tea1Sugar · 01/08/2013 14:42

Yay hi tea Grin this WILL be our month. Promise!

TeaAndANatter · 02/08/2013 19:55

Don't doubt it for a second, sugary tea! Actually, I'm feeling lucky for a September BFP, don't know why, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope just yet. Probably because my cm is still not quite as eggwhitey since mc as it used to be (doing serious grapefruiting!), but I can cross all my digits for you this month whilst I'm pretending not to care! Grin

Gingerandcocoa · 03/08/2013 10:23

Hello ladies...
I'm on cycle 2 of TTC my first.

I don't know when I ovulated (used the Boots tests but didn't get one single positive result), or IF I ovulated, but I can't imagine why I wouldn't have? I don't think I have PCOS and my cycles are quite regular (normally between 26-28 days). I didn't really feel ovulation pains this month though, and I normally do. DTD quite a few times when I should have ovulated.

Now about 5-7 DPO (who knows), and don't really have any symptoms. I'm not very confident this is the month, but still hoping!!!

Also, if I don't get pregnant this month, I think I can only try one more month and then have to have a "break" for 4-5 months, because my brother is getting married abroad next year, and I have to be able to go to his wedding...

ArkadyRose · 05/08/2013 08:42

Currently on CD15, 6po. Definitely know I ov'd on the 30th as I had ewcm that turned watery, mittelschmerz (very left-sided) then it changed to the thicker creamy stuff from Thursday.

Been getting a lot of cramping since Saturday night, so on impulse I poa-opk-s this morning (just one of the cheapy opk sticks I bought off Amazon). This far post-ov I'd expect it to be negative - but there was a faint line.

Trying not to read too much into it, as the symptoms of early pg are very hard to tell from the ones I get leading up to AF, but with all my pregnancies I pretty much knew almost straight away. I'm not sure if I trust my body enough to tell me what's going on after 4 mc though. Think I may be poas on Friday though, and wondering if I'll get my BFP? ~fingers tightly crossed~

Keden · 05/08/2013 12:00

5DPO....no symptoms yet, though there has been the occasional breast-twinge here and there. Not sure if it means anything though. Going to try and hold off POAS until at least the 1st day of AF (August 14).

snoozysleeper · 05/08/2013 16:12

hi all, can I join too?

am now on the 2ww also (I think Hmm )
been on the implant for many years and this is my first cycle of TTC #1
very excited but a little unsure as to ovulation day because when I was on the implant I didn't have periods so couldn't chart cycles and this is my first cycle now.

I've gone of regular average dates and that would make my ovulation day 4th August so I would be 1dpo now...I had a small amount of EWCM on cd 11 and cd 12...not really sure what that means though and Dh and I have dtd on cd 6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14 but think we'll have a break tonight Blush

congratulations to those who did get their bfps Grin

Keden · 05/08/2013 16:57

Dh and I have dtd on cd 6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14

Wow! That's really impressive. And welcome aboard too Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 05/08/2013 18:12

Bloody hell Snoozy!!!!!!!!!! Grin

snoozysleeper · 05/08/2013 19:20

haha thankyou keden and writer we figured whilst we didn't really know my cycle that well we should just get to it Blush but also I'm visiting family tomorrow so we will be apart for a few days but fingers crossed anyway!!

Gingerandcocoa · 05/08/2013 20:21

Snoozy now I'm feeling like we didn't do enough - and I was exhausted from DTD 5 times during my fertile period :P

I was too weak and POAS today... even though I'm still at least 7 days before AF... so not sure what I was expected, but not surprisingly got a BFN...

I am however getting light cramping on and off throughout the day, though I'm not sure whether I'm just symptom-spotting!!!
