Haha well we dtd last night ;) so can blame him again!! This was a pregnancy sympton last time though
.....im not spotting honest!!

Good work on the naughties mama I would be shattered too!!! How many days till you can test?

Choccywoccydodah · 18/09/2013 07:58

Morning. Still lurking and licking my wounds the October bus is a bit slow!
Haven't read back this morning, so good luck to anyone POAS today!

jaykay987 · 18/09/2013 08:04

October bus is slow - cause all the action is still on here! Smile

mama - not sure about b12. I'm taking vitamin b50 complex with my b6 50mg. Which I think is also 50mg. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be able to tell you.

Sparrowlegs248 · 18/09/2013 08:11

I haven't seen OBEM.....midwives wa a bit wincey at times! Although i have to say even i got a bit teary once the slippery little babies were finally.out. Can't say it would motivate me to dtd though mama you weirdo Grin
Can i ask why you take seperate vits and not just a combined one for conception? Am thinking of getting the pregnacare ones.

crazylady2013 · 18/09/2013 08:27

Good luck to all those PSOASing this morning. I'm in the middle of 2ww. Not a symptom in sight (and I've been looking). So not very hopeful at this stage.
Mama you have been an inspiration, I don't know how you have managed it. Fx for your BFP ( you have to get it).

mama31 · 18/09/2013 08:47

Lucy thanks but last night I can't take any credit for the good work...was all DH hard work (I was like a sack of spuds lol) and yes I think the nips is either post ovulation or preggo symptom.....like everything it can be put down to both :/ dammit!!! I shouldn't really test til nxt fri (that means ill prob test wed)

Yes notta I'd agree with the wierdo lol I'm just taking the b6 seperate as I feel I need 50mg to lenghten my LP, then was told should take b12 as well so started that today and have been on folic acid for months in prep for ttc.

Good luck carzylady! The 2ww is sooooo long....it feels like 2yrs!!!! I don't know about an inspiration but no one can say I didn't try my best this month! And in fact DH is so deserving of the BFP this month as he is just so obliging has loved all the dtd, has been holding my legs in the air and bless him he has been googling all sorts of things he could do to improve our chances....what a sweetie :)

m33r · 18/09/2013 09:06

Mama. You DH sounds like mine! It's great that he's supportive and wants a baby as much as me but it makes me feel even more desperate. Really hope we get our BFPs. I'm testing next Friday - not going to test anything before as been disappointed before - which seems like YEARS away! A few wee possible 'symptoms' but probably all in my head!

Well done with all the dtd !!

mama31 · 18/09/2013 09:17

M33r how many dpo will you be next friday?? Oooh we could be poas buddies!!! If I can hold out til fri!!!! I know what you mean tho...seeing DH trying so hard and being so excited about it really makes you want it so much for them too!! Hope we get our BFPs!!!!!!

Spirael · 18/09/2013 10:32

I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know that I managed to restrain myself from inflicting bodily harm on anyone yesterday. Wink My mood seems a little more stable today so far.

Still entirely inconclusive here. No hint of AF, when normally I'd have expected to see some light spotting by now ahead of the main event starting tomorrow or the day after. However without going into too many delightful details, my digestive system is following its usual pattern for the days before AF arrives.

However the cramps have vanished too, though I am getting little niggly twinges every so often. But they're the kind of thing I'd normally ignore, so not conclusive either. And my breasts feel pretty much normal. I also seem less bloated today than I did yesterday. There's still time for that to change...

I've discovered that I might get a chance at lunchtime to pop out and grab a cheap test or two from the pound shop. But I'm wondering whether I should, or whether I'd be better waiting until the weekend if AF still hasn't shown.

Is anyone else around DPO 13-15 at the moment with no AF and no BFP either?

Sparrowlegs248 · 18/09/2013 10:43

spirael if af doesn't turn up as expected then i would test on that day. Good luck and well done for not battering anyone!!

mama i will of course be thrilled for you if you get your bfp this month!! But i will also be a little scared ......if i don't get mine i will feel obliged to follow your dtd example next month!!

PinkHat1 · 18/09/2013 10:46

BFN this morning and still no sign of AF yet. Will wait until the weekend for AF to arrive and then will test again. Spirael today makes me 13dpo but this is only my third cycle of ttc so not sure if this is normal yet..

jessieagain · 18/09/2013 11:19

Hey spirael you sound like me. I am incredibly grumpy and down at the moment, no signs of anything other than that Confused

I am about 12-17days dpo.

Got a bfn yesterday and am so annoyed at myself for testing early, as originally planned to test on the 20th. I didn't even test first thing in the morning yesterday! Angry at myself.

mama31 · 18/09/2013 11:52

Thanks notta! I'm hoping it has worked as I couldn't have made any more effort....I hope you get your bfp too!!! When do you poas???

If my excessive dtd has worked I will stay on this bus to badger everyone in to dtd crazy amounts of times til they get their bfp!!!!! Lol and if I don't get my bfp.....looks like another month of walking about like john wayne for me :/

m33r · 18/09/2013 12:07

Mama. By next Friday I'll be 14 days but my lp has be 16 in the past... At least I think so. What I mean is each month I've got progressively 2 days later which is gutting each month BUT this month I ovulated 10 days early so think my cycle might have settled... Sorry long way of saying 14 days dpo but not testing a minute before.

We dtd 5x in 4 days so not as much as you and not before ov - all on or just after. Hoping its enough. Would love to tell my DH that we (he) had done it! Like you, he's in support of legs up!

How many days will you be?

lucyfluff · 18/09/2013 12:17

Oh god the hpts have arrived. They are staring at me. Someone slap me with a wet fish!!!!!

GillyBillyWilly · 18/09/2013 12:36

Hi ladies!

So busy in work... No time to read everything!
What have I missed? Any BFPs?

I'm only 2dpo so just started my 2ww. Got a long way to go!

OP posts:
Spirael · 18/09/2013 14:05

Hmm... I don't have a wet fish on me lucy! I do however have a slightly damp coat. Would that work? Wink

I ventured out and managed to acquire some cheapy-cheap tests at lunchtime. I now have enough to do one per day until the weekend. I'd better have either AF or a BFP by then, or there'll be trouble!

Is it possible to beat up your own womb with a lunch box?

lucyfluff · 18/09/2013 14:24

That would do just fine ;) stupid sticks have tormented me so Ive put them away for at least a week.

Are you going to yest tmrw spirael?

Ps are your sandwiches still in there?! Lol

Spirael · 18/09/2013 14:34

I might test later today and tomorrow! [rebel] Unless AF arrives, at which point I'll admit defeat for the month. Wink

No sandwiches; My lunch today was leftover homemade curry from last night that I reheated in the office microwave. It has now, of course, all gone. Yum!

I don't think you've missed any BFP's, Gilly. It's all a bit quiet at the moment... Maybe the calm before the storm and we'll get a flurry of BFPs over the next few days? :)

lucyfluff · 18/09/2013 14:37

Oooo yum now Im hungry and yay go for it tonight and let us all know :) good luck!!!

wispaxmas · 18/09/2013 15:16

I think we're all still in the 2ww! I'm still talking to my belly, I'll be really embarrassed it if turns out I've been talking to nothing for the past 7 days! Well, 6 as there was definitely an egg hanging around for a day or so there.

I'm not at work today, but I've been too busy to come on before now. I just took 4 rubbish bags full of clothes and a few shopping bags full of home goods to a charity shop and I listed a bunch of things on eBay. Then I called around to some estate agents to test the waters, tried to find a handy man (failed), and I'm now trying and failing to book a consultation to have some carpet replaced on our stairs. Project move-to-paris is underway!!

RoseHoney · 18/09/2013 15:29

Haven't tested yet, started spotting today so probably not my month anyway Hmm ill test tomorrow just in case but not feeling hopeful.

Good luck to everyone else! Need to go catch up now, you guys talk alot! Wink

mama31 · 18/09/2013 15:40

Notta by next friday ill be 10/11 dpo....but I had a short cycle last month (23days) so if I'm having another short cycle af would be due next fri and I usually get spotting prior to af 3/4 days before it so I reckon ill know if I'm in the running or not for bfp around tuesday! And no doubt I won't hold off to test fri (unless the spotting comes earlier but hoping it won't as I'm taking high dose B6 so might lengthen LP this month and prevent spotting early) I'm so apprehensive and nervous this month coz I know I've tried my absolute best :/

mama31 · 18/09/2013 16:01

Hi gilly! I'm on 2dpo as well....early days!!! Did you manage dtd on the tues when DH returned???

There's loads of us on 2ww now...hope we get a stampede of BFP's....I think we all deserve it :) I'm keeping positive (for now)

VJONES1985 · 18/09/2013 16:44

I'm on 2ww too! 4dpo and already bored...
