Hi all, please can I hop aboard from the August bus?

Ttc #1 cycle? BFP?

Ap

Bloumermaid · 28/08/2013 22:17

Not a great start, posted before finished (stupid phone)

Apologies for vague details, those from the Aug bus are probably fed up of hearing my story but essentially I'm still waiting for AF having come off the pill in April (that's right, 5 months). Been using opks so think I may be due AF/BFP on Friday 13 (just my luck). But really got no clue! Confused

VJONES1985 · 28/08/2013 22:24

Good luck, Bloumer! When did you ovulate?

Bloumermaid · 28/08/2013 22:46

Sorry maths wrong, BFP hopefully on 6th (it's late, brain needs sleep)

Bloumermaid · 28/08/2013 22:48

Hello again VJones! think I ov'd on Fri 23 (day after positive OPK).

mrsmummytobe · 28/08/2013 23:04

Evening all! I've just been having a look at the updated list (thanks for posting it disney) & it seems we have 6 bpfs due on the 1st!!! Eek not long to go now.. Exciting!

chattychattyboomba · 28/08/2013 23:21

Hey Disney thanks for the list!- f.y.i TTC #2 Wink
7th day of AF Hmmpissoffsowecangetcracking!

seatfor5 · 29/08/2013 00:05

Right I can now give a BFP date as have OV I am due on the 8th :) So am now on my TWW wo will be spotting like mad!

ChubbyKitty · 29/08/2013 01:09

I don't think I had any symptoms today. Not even the nausea that has plagued me for nearly a week.

Is that bad?

jaykay987 · 29/08/2013 05:58

Im a SW advocate too! I've lost many a stone in the past. I always said I would do SW whilst pregnant - not to lose weight, but I always feel I have a good balanced diet when I follow it (and when I don't all my food choices seem to go to pot).
So (as this month is going to be our month Grin ) I joined on cd1. I lost 4.5lbs week 1 so had to happy with that (this is week 3 and Im still sticking with it. I've not had this much willpower in years!
I also figured it will buy me some goodwill when I (eventually) book in with a midwife who will no doubt scold me when I step on the scales!

Plus in the (very unlikelyWink ) scenario this isn't our month, losing some weight will up my conception chances in the months to come. So win-win!

Im grumpy today as on 6th day of flashing smileys. Last month I only had two before it fixed. I thought my fertile window would cover the bank holiday weekend. Now it looks like it will coincide with the PIL coming stay! Angry Positive thoughts....Positive thoughts ....

I'll update my bfp date once I've ovulated, but now looks like it'll need to move back a good few days.....

onelifeonechance · 29/08/2013 07:09

I'm glad I've checked and seen your message Suz, I was thinking of heading for that bathroom cupboard Blush but i'm not going to, I've waited this long, one more day is doable! Good luck lasting out, we can do this!

onelifeonechance · 29/08/2013 07:18

Ah chubby I know the feeling, symptoms are a bugger. I've been trying to ignore everything this month and tell myself it's cos i'm tired/what we've eaten/PMS etc. but today, apart from sl heavy boobs (which considering af is due any day) is to be expected I am symptom free. Who knows! But I have def read of other ladies who had some, then didn't, then did etc who got their BFPs so keep your pecker up, it ain't over til that af last starts a singin!!

And well done on the SW effort jayKay, your doing great and like you say it all helps one way or another.

Hello to all the newbies on board (waving) and delayed congrats to nanny excellent start to the journey!

onelifeonechance · 29/08/2013 07:20

Supposed to say af lady, sorry chubby, I've got sausage fingers

leezl · 29/08/2013 07:43

Jaykay well done! 4.5lbs is fantastic! How much have you lost overall in your three weeks?
Of course because we didn't conceive in our first month I instantly thought there was a problem with me because of my weight, even though my periods are pretty regular and I'm actually fairly fit underneath the baggage!! So also hoping that a bit of weight loss will speed our chances :)

mrsmummytobe · 29/08/2013 07:47

Well done with SW jaykay. :) Your post about your PIL made me chuckle - isn't that always the way!!

So who's testing next??

Nulanoo · 29/08/2013 07:50

That's a fab loss! I also love SW, I need to get back into it really ive about a stone to lose 😦

mrsmummytobe · 29/08/2013 08:22

onelife when are you testing?

englishteacher78 · 29/08/2013 08:28

Well, here goes with the 2ww! Lovely hearing about weight loss stories. Remember to add in some exercise though - that's what helped me lose 8 1/2 lb last week! It was holiday weight so got it off quickly before it 'stuck' as it were Grin

onelifeonechance · 29/08/2013 08:28

I'm holding out til tmrw! Will be 14dpo (I think) I've made my pact with Suz and i'm a woman of my word Smile

mrsmummytobe · 29/08/2013 08:39

Well done with the weight loss englishteacher.

Ahh that's so exciting onelife, fx for you and suz tmrw! What sort of test are you using? I bought those early ones from amazon that disney recommended & I've also got a stash of superdrug ones from when they were on offer! I can't test for ages though!

DisneyDiva87 · 29/08/2013 08:53

Morning

Migraine is still hanging about but it's much better felt really sick this morning too but that's probably got more to do with the migraine than a possible bfp.

P.s if anyone wants to borrow my scales they'll drop a stone off your weight Wink

mama31 · 29/08/2013 09:00

Morning ladies! Loving the inspiring weight loss stories! I've lost 2 stone since last year (have put half back on over summer but will get it off again!!! I hope!!) I started running a year ago and go about 3 times a week, would def reccomend it for weight loss along with a calorie and fat controlled diet! Its worked wonders on my fitness levels also!! Feeling very fit and healthy when I run regularly and full of energy!

Wow onelife and suz!!! Big day tomorrow...really really hope you get your BFP's!!!!! Can't wait to hear! :)

mama31 · 29/08/2013 09:03

Morning disney!! Lol your scales sound amazing!!!! I could def do with those for a while ;)

Well I don't know if this is a symptom of anything but I swear I had about 20 different weird dreams last night and each time I woke and fell back to sleep another one started!!! Bizarre....think I'm just stir crazy maybe?! Haha!

DisneyDiva87 · 29/08/2013 09:09

I just got an email saying there is a delivery for me in the office. Oh I hope it is my tests!!!

My bloods are back now and I had a chat with my GP yesterday about it all (in the frigging hairdressers cos she rang then, how embarrassing!).

They show slightly elevated areas in liver function and kidney function so need to be repeated but she said nothing to worry about as it might be that my base norms are a little off the reference ones. It also showed that I am not entering the menopause (yay!) and that my hormone levels are fine wrt to ovulation so as far as I am concerned, my body is doing OK. We need to check dp's sperm and see what they are doing and she's also requested 21 day bloods as well to see what's happening there. That's tricky tho when my cycle goes from 21-29 days... I can't get a test done tomorrow (7 days before next AF) so will have to book in for a test a week before my period is due next cycle and get them done then. It's a relief to know my body is still working despite my advancing years. And it also means I am not stressing too much now about the tww as there is something positive to be done next cycle. Amazing how after 12 tries that helps!

Good luck to everyone else, and to those wondering about if they are or aren't just POAS already tee hee!
