Thanks for the welcome! There are loads of people due soon, fingers crossed. As for me I only have the absence of some typical AF signs and the presence of sore boobs. It's awful these last few moments/days where I'm constantly running to the loo with the sensation of something that I think is the start of AF!

Ha, well I feel better that I am not the only weirdo practically doing handstands post dtd :-D

Well, I will give pre-seed a go and see how I go...will report back!

Grapefruit juice? Whats that about? Something else I can become obsessed about...why oh why has this taken over my life?!

Just had even more fab reviews on pre-seed...eek worth a shot hey. Nothing to lose and a possible bfp to gain...

Evening all :)

I'm spotting :( :( and it's two days early. It was only when I wiped though (sorry tmi) so god knows, but I'm a 28 day cycle girl, and just lately they've been between 25 and 27 days, which is confusing. So I think I'm out! But I'll confirm tomorrow. Am I ok to lurk on the bus? I want to see more BFPs!

I'm just going to watch the Strictly results with a tear in my eye :(

Oh and by the way...I know from the previous threads that some people on here haven't told anyone at all that you are TTC...same as me...is anyone absolutely busting to tell someone/ANYONE?? Or is it just me that cant hold my water....

Hi ladies. I think I'm in the 2ww now. I chucked the opks this week but ewcm made an appearance on Tuesday (cd13) and disappeared on cd16 so I assume I ov'd then.

Am a wee bit nervous about training for a half marathon at the moment, in case the exercise is bad for ttc. I'm running 10k tomorrow. Is this a good idea????

Report
Choccywoccydodah · 03/11/2013 20:08

Grapefruit juice is meant to help with ewcm. I don't like it either so I bought the pink grapefruit juice with bits from asda. I got 3 bottle for £4 I think. It has to be proper juice though not from concentrate. One bottle lasted me 4 days so I ran out the day after I ov'd as I ov'd early and didn't bother buying more.

I do it too imaginary, but not while posting here ha ha!

Oh no Owlie!!!! Hope af stays away!!!! And of course you can hang out here as long as you like :)

So the grapefruit juice? Anyone?

Sara I can't hold my own water, so my closest friends and family members know we are ttc....of course they think I'm just being uber cool about it all and the fact it hasn't happened yet.....even though I am actually slightly fretting! I'm so good at covering up how I'm really feeling about things in reality! But I think it would add to the pressure if others knew I was fretting! I kind of regret telling people now, but it's done so can't take it back....and everyone is very supportive about it....but I do hate the questions from a couple of people every month "any news????" hate that!!!!

Me again. We lived away last time so no pressure to tell anyone, but this time 3 of our friends know. None of them have asked anything though, they'll find out when we want them to know Smile

Mama I know what you mean...I think we are very similar!!! It's killing me not being able to talk about it to anyone, I really want to talk about it to someone!!! I must be giving something away though, as people are talking about babies constantly, directing questions like 'when is it your turn???' at me haha. Maybe there's a neon light that says 'TTC' above my head.

Vj do you train already? From everything I've read it's fine as long as its not a totally new thing for you and obviously rest as much as possible. Don't push yourself too hard and listen when your body tells you to take a break. Good luck!

Report
VJONES1985 · 03/11/2013 20:30

Hi. Yes, I train already and run three times a week but just a bit wary about the half marathon plan because it involves gradually increasing distance/intensity. However, I will try to listen to my body.

mama31 · 03/11/2013 20:33

I know sara! In lots of ways I like close people to know about it coz I love our chats getting excited about when it does happen :) also another of my closest friends is in exact same position as me, has been ttc since July and still waiting on her bfp also so we have amazing chats about it all and get so excited together....but I do worry that it will happen to one of us first and that will be tough on the other one waiting....even though I know we'd both be so happy for eachother...I just wish (so unrealistic I know, but I am a dreamer as you all know) that it could happen around the same time! then we can share our excitement!!!!

Report
SaraRB123 · 03/11/2013 20:42

Yes absolutely, but as you said I'd be worried about either one of us getting pregnant first and how the other would feel (obviously over the moon for the other, but secretly a little jealous and hurt that you can't get as excited) I'm sort of secretly in that position, as my close friend came off the pill literally a day after me and told me all about it and I've kind of become her confidante - I'm her only friend that knows. I feel guilty for not returning the favour and telling her all about me but I don't want ANY pressure on us. Xx

mama31 · 03/11/2013 20:45

I know sara it is a tough one! Just hoping so much that it happens for my friend and I very soon! Would love some good news before Christmas!!! DH is absolutely busting for it to happen as well, I'd just love to see the look on his face when I finally get my bfp! Well let's hope this amazing start to November bus continues....and the nights are getting colder....def time to get snuggled up ;) ;)

I'm far too excited to keep it secret. I've told my mum, sister, best friend, "fake" husband (gay best friend), and DF just called his parents to tell them.
We were supposed to be getting married in May so we've had to tell some people so they didn't start booking flights!

SaraRB123 · 03/11/2013 21:16

Yes the weather does help doesnt it!! Ladies I posted a thread asking for reviews/experiences using preseed - very positive so far!!! I have found some in the chemist as I'm far too impatient to wait for it to be delivered. My poor OH, he's slightly worse than me - asking me questions like 'what do you think you will crave?' ha ha bless him, I keep telling him theres a long road to travel before talking cravings! I cant wait to show him a bfp...the best Christmas present I could ever give if I can manage it by then...no pressure!

Will give you full review on preseed in the morning after weve dtd later on!!!

mama31 · 03/11/2013 21:52

Sorry in advance I'm about to ask such a weird question.....the preseed....so is this used only for dryness?? or does it have another purpose?? Jeepers such personal questions but I'm so curious and like to make sure I'm giving myself the best chance.....knowledge is power!!!!! Or so we hope!!!
