Forgot to say congrats to the BFP ladies and commiserations to anyone with BFNs...and fingers crossed for all of us!

mama31 · 04/09/2013 13:34

Welcome dupain! Wow what a name!!! Good luck! I know the feeling re cycles I came off the pill on july had one af and waiting on the nxt af or more welcomed bfp but no real clue when to expect this....all guesswork! Hope your cycle is regular immediately! What pill were u on?

Bloumermaid · 04/09/2013 13:37

So sorry keepswimming! Fx for you for next month, hope you keep us company for a bit.

The best advice I can give you is just keep swimming, just keep swimming...as well as an excellent film, it's sage advice!Smile

SuzB83 · 04/09/2013 13:40

Sorry keepswimming Thanks. Save me a seat on the October bus, think I'll be joining you soon.

keepswimming1 · 04/09/2013 13:46

Thanks guys. I will hang around and see all these BFP's that will be coming soon :)

I am hoping hubbie will be on time getting back for my next fertile window, so I will be booking a holiday :) and on the plus side of this means I could give birth during the school holidays next year, so I wont miss out on my college course :) if you can call that a plus!!!

cheesysmile · 04/09/2013 13:47

Ah sorry AF got you keepswimming.

Those of you that have lost weight recently what are you doing? I got on the scales this morning and appear to have put on half a stone ... when did that happen? Hmmm guess little exercise and eating whatever I fancy probably didn't help Grin

Back to work tomorrow so think I'll start a bit of a diet as well ... suggestions welcome. I have previously done well with calorie counting and also did the 5:2 diet for a bit - anyone know if this is ok when ttc?

keepswimming1 · 04/09/2013 13:51

Cheesysmile - I'm calories counting, lost 3lbs this week only another 9 to go. so far so good.
I plan on stopping when I get pregnant :)

leezl · 04/09/2013 13:52

Cheesy I'm doing Slimming World (loosely) and upping my exercise. I started Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred this morning and I think I might be dead now. Can ghosts get BFPs?

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 13:58

Sorry to hear that keepswming but good job on the weight loss though !

cheesysmile · 04/09/2013 13:59

Thanks guys ... so you think we're good to diet till we get those bfps?

ha ha leezl ... I also got 30 day shred dvd a few weeks ago, have only done it twice so far and I thought I was going to die both times, DH thought it was very funny ... god know what level 2 is like Grin

Think I might get back on the calorie counting from tomorrow then and get some more exercise in. I was getting back into the exercise and then seemed to just stop again, I obviously lack motivation.

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 14:04

cheesy I lack so much motivation I haven't even started diet/fitness programme despite saying numerous days I will start... Ahhh well, maybe tomorrow Wink

Also think its ok to try to be more healthy but just keep sensible about it all

bushprincess · 04/09/2013 14:18

Thanks so much everyone for the congrats... walking on air today... but DH keeping my feet on the ground... v.excited but of course but said 'there's a long way to go yet.. lets not get too excited yet incase something happens'... sensible I suppose, but still have a grin on my face!

keepswimming hugs so sorry about AF...Sad will keep my fx for next month for you

suz and mama it's not over till the fat lady sings... so fx and let us know...

mrsmummy... am coming to find you on the other thread... but will keep checking in to watch the rest of the september bfp's roll in!

cheesysmile · 04/09/2013 14:24

snoozy I know exactly what you mean ... I used to be pretty good, but over the last few months I've been really slack and keep thinking I'll start after the weekend, but never really happens.

Scales were a bit scary this morning though so that should give me a kick start!

mama31 · 04/09/2013 14:25

Thanks bushprincess! I'm sure you are on cloud 9!! :) I sooooo want to be able to join the may 2014 bus with mrsmummytobe as well.....here's hoping!!!!

mama31 · 04/09/2013 14:40

TMI Alert!

My brown spotting appears to have stopped after 4 days and now I appear to have small amounts of white/clearish cm...anyone a cm expert on here? Is this a sign of af coming?? Or still in the running for bfp? Oh I do clutch at straws!! Somebody stop me!!!!

DuPainDuVinDuFromage · 04/09/2013 14:43

Thanks mama! I was on microgynon. Last time I came off it my cycles were normal straight away and I got pg with DD in the 3rd cycle - very lucky I know! We'll see how it goes this time...

Can't help re your last post - I don't have a clue about half of the things talked about on here!

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/09/2013 14:47

Keepswimming* sorry about your bfn. Rubbish. Good luck next month.

leezl i did 30 day shred!! All of it! Took me about 38 days as would do it 5 - 6 times a week. It is a killler but gets better! Level 2 is hard.

I have been on the nhs website and worked out my due date if i get a bfp this month..... Blush

Sparrowlegs248 · 04/09/2013 14:51

Mama - my brown slotting turned into full on af after 2.5 ish days. No gap, just straight into af on the day she was due good luck!!

mama31 · 04/09/2013 14:54

Thanks nottalotta that's helpful!

Dupain, hope its as quick this time for you! I'm going crazy in this 2ww....need a bfp before I lose my mind fully! Lol how did I become so obsessed :/

keepswimming1 · 04/09/2013 14:54

mama - look like I still need to keep my fingers crossed for you, hang in there :)

cheesysmile · 04/09/2013 15:10

Notta, good going on the 30 day shred! How many days did you do on each level?

Hang in there mama - I'm no expert but would think the fact that you have stopped spotting and now have cm would be a good sign ... really hope you get your bfp.

leezl · 04/09/2013 15:17

Mama I thought CM went thick/dry before AF?? You're still in the running!!!

Congrats Bush, forgot to say earlier!

My belly is ACHING after 30 Day Shred. Those jumping jacks were not invented with fatties in mind...Confused

leezl · 04/09/2013 15:18

Oh no wait... yes they were Hmm

DisneyDiva87 · 04/09/2013 15:19

Don't be disheartened Keepswimming p.s. I have a song/new name for you Grin

Hey there, Mrs. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you wanna know what you've gotta do? Just keep shagging. Just keep shagging. Just keep shagging, shagging, shagging. What do we do? We shag, shag. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho. I love to shag (tmi?). When you want to shag you want to shag!

Pencilsandprams · 04/09/2013 15:23

Hi all, can I join?! I am ttc#2, on cycle 4 now. Not sure how you calculate your BFP date? I think I am 2 or 3 DPO but still waiting on my crosshairs on FF to confirm. So I guess I'll test on the 17th. Good luck to everyone still to test! x
