TTC #1, cycle 5 (1 mc), BFP due 18th Oct (DH Bday)

MrsB2013 · 08/10/2013 12:28

Lucy glad to hear the bleeding has stopped Flowers

Hey Dev welcome to the lucky October bus!

VickyVix · 08/10/2013 12:39

Wow, I go away for 4 days and we have a new bus and a total of 9 BFP's!! Huge congratulations to the BFP ladies, fantastic news :) :) :)

I'm on 8dpo at the moment and this 2ww is going so slow, I love the 'crotch watch' terminology, can't remember who said it but it's so true Grin

The only symptom I really have is horrible achey legs, I always get it on day of AF and sometimes day before but I've had it for four days now and it's irritating me, feels like my whole lower back, bum and womb area is heavy and achey.

I'd love it to be a symptom but it's probably just a mega bad AF brewing :(

and lucy glad to hear bleeding has stopped.

Sparrowlegs248 · 08/10/2013 12:59

FX for you lucy

mama31 · 08/10/2013 13:06

Thanks for updating with the cycle numbers choccy :) its great to see :) :) your just lovely!!! :)

Sorry to those af has got today... Try and stay positive for next cycle and get yourself a wee treat...wine/chocs/comforts...

Lucyfluff, glad to hear the bleeding has stopped and I will be thinking of you for friday.....really hope its still positive....will say a wee prayer for you...good luck!!! Well yes dtd every other day until pos opk..so today was the first of the "sex plan" had a nice early lunch "bonk" and back to work now lol it was a very successful day one!!! Now on to Thursday for day 2 :) then sat/sun/mon! Its all good! DH is very happy :) hope we get some good news this month!!!!!!

MrsB2013 · 08/10/2013 13:20

I'm hoping I've just wasted some money on buying some cheapie opk's and some more conceive plus for next month!

lucyfluff · 08/10/2013 13:25

Lol mama..sex plan! I bet your hubbie is loving it :) good idea with every other let the spermies build up a bit. I have a good feeling for you this month :)

Will pop back Friday and let you know what happens x

mama31 · 08/10/2013 13:30

Lucyfluff DH is in his element! Lol but yes think we overdid it last month so gona let them build up as you say :) I hope your good feeling is right....and if your as psychic as onelife and I...hmmm....not sure that's a good thing or bad :/ lol

Yes please do let me know on Friday...look after yourself....good luck, take care, chat soon xx

Milknosugar33 · 08/10/2013 14:13

Thanks for adding the cycles Choccy!
Best idea I have had in ages and given me some real perspective.
(Although, next time will be cycle 4 for me... no pressure!)

Well done again to all the BFPs.

fluffythelabcat · 08/10/2013 14:48

Wow lots of BFPs, well done ladies!! CD8 now, about to commence 'shag week' going to try every other day until I ov, have started temping this month, it is quite fun really although I have to do it while DP is in the shower or he will think I am mental. He vomits at the mere mention of ovulation so to try and talk about temps, mucus etc might mean he would never come near me again!!

mama31 · 08/10/2013 15:04

Fluffy...my DH likes to chat about ovulation....but only in relation to when its happening and when he is expected to deliver the goods lol everything else just goes right over his head....each month he only wants to know 2 things: when I ovulate and when I can do a preg test....if only my brain worked so simply!!! Lol

fluffythelabcat · 08/10/2013 15:13

Haha bless them Mama, I don't even think my DP has noticed I suddenly find him irresistible for one week every month!! It's quite worrying actually.....

mama31 · 08/10/2013 15:18

Too funny!!!! Lol he just thinks he's so sexy you can't resist!!! Awh I'm sure that's true as well as coz you want to make a baby ;)

I'm just jel that we don't work as simply as mens minds with all the stress and symptom spotting.....why oh why can't I just dtd over ovulation, forget about it and do one test once af is late?!?! I'm incapable of it.....I just love to obsess....its so unhealthy!!!! :/

fluffythelabcat · 08/10/2013 15:25

If they could obsess maybe they would!! Maybe my DP is obsessively testing his sperm while I am in the shower??? I doubt it though.

ScienceGeekGirl · 08/10/2013 15:36

Well my DH is a doctor so he knows a fair bit about how it all works (he's even delivered babies!) so no hiding it from him. He has said though he's fine not knowing about my CM lol.

Dev0nDiva · 08/10/2013 15:38

Fluff - Ha, Ha, that's Lush!

Mama - Lucky you DTD every day. DH has a very physical job and is often knackered and unfortunately due to the best form of exercise! I read that for best results leaving 3 days in between for optimum levels if you don't know what actual swim count is. Do you temp? Might help figure out most likely days?

jaykay987 · 08/10/2013 15:38

haha fluffy. that made me laugh!

Lucy - fx the next few days are ok for you.

mama - I'm very jealous of your commute!

Inspired (?!) by choccys website link I decided to Google images pregnancy symptom style creamy cm. (obviously my not obsessing in 2ww is going well!) It's definitely what I've got. The pictures have grossed me out though!Smile
Now I need to start researching the causes of this cm that aren't pregnancy related. To try and even my brain out!

mama31 · 08/10/2013 15:45

Dev we are doing every other day until ovulation then will do 3 days in a row, skip a day then once more for luck! I don't temp just use opks but seem to be ov on cd13 last 2 cycles.

Jaykay.....I googled cm last cycle as mine was unusual for me coming up to af....and I convinced myself I was preggers....I wasn't :/ I honestly think our bodies do different things each month...I must not allow myself to symptom spot this month....but I know I will :/ I'm out of control soon as I hit 2ww!!!!

onefunkymama · 08/10/2013 16:31

Hi Folks, keeping my fingers crossed that we get a BFP in November. (Got a BFP in September as some of you will know, turned out to possibly be twins but, alas, it was not to be.) Thinking positive and looking forward to reading all the BFP news on here.

Dev0nDiva · 08/10/2013 16:31

Mama..... Sounds like you guys have it under Control. I'll keep my fx for you!

I've seamed to have timed thing well this month. 5 cop, what do you reckon is the earliest you would get any symptoms - post implantation?

mama31 · 08/10/2013 16:40

Onefunky so sorry to hear that....good for you being positive tho and hope you get your bfp nov :)

englishteacher78 · 08/10/2013 17:15

Just checking in before the start of sixth form open evening to say - no further news at the moment so looks like I will be testing tomorrow morning at this rate.

ThisIsMeNow · 08/10/2013 17:35

Hmm, think I've missed the bus this month. Obviously time will tell but I'm impatient and have been googling like mad (I know I knowHmm)
Had really bad pains thurs like a cross between period pains and a stomach upset. Lasted a couple of hours. Having looked back I think I probably ovulated then and we didn't dtd till late friday night so more than 24hrs.
I know the window shuts quickly after you ovulate and I really think we missed it this month.
Ah well!

allchatnicknamesgone · 08/10/2013 17:39

Does anyone else stop temping after O? I'm 5 dpo and when I took my temp this morning it was the highest it has ever been, so I'd quite like to stop to resist any temptation of googling temperatures....what do you guys think. I only started to do it because I wanted reassure I was actually O'g as I've been using opk the last few months.

I would love to actually have no symptoms this month! Then I might actually think I am preggers, because the achy legs, the middle of the night cramping and all the other things last month got my hopes up to much. It's hard not to start hating your body - it is so cruel to us at times!

Good luck to everyone testing in the morning!

allchatnicknamesgone · 08/10/2013 17:44

Thisisme - do you temp?
I know this is grasping at straws a little, but those pains could have been the onset of ovulation and then you actually O'd on fri and therefore did on fri evening could be in with a chance considering the egg survives around 12 hours?.....
I think you are right to be cautious in your thinking, but stranger things have happened.
On another thread the other day a woman said that she fell pregnant the one month they didn't try. They had sex twice that month. Once at the beginning and once at the end!!
