sazzlehopes · 04/11/2013 12:20

congrats just! wow first cycle ttc no1 - amazing news!

sazzlehopes · 04/11/2013 12:22

oh, and details please - dtd days, how many past ov when you tested, symptoms etc and anything else useful to us desperados!!!

keeponjuggling · 04/11/2013 12:24

Thank you Sazzle Smile Although I'm sorry to hear you and m33r are also nearing/at the TTC for a year or more milestone!

DH has decided this month as soon as AF has moved out we are dtd every other day for 'as long as it takes'. I'm exhausted just thinking about it, but we've tried all the other stuff, opk's, temp charts etc. and its all just gotten a bit much, so good old fashioned hitting the sack it is then.

Good luck all, now if I can just resist the internet cheapies until the 25th...

lucyfluff · 04/11/2013 12:31

Congrats just Smile thats good news!!!

Yeah first cycle after chemical missv although I have no idea whats going on...just looked back over ff app at symptoms etc and had spotting mid month which COULD have been AF? well light af after and so maybe im testing wayyyyyyy too early infact ive probably missed the window completly now Sad grrrr Sad

Oh well. Not going to do any more now until a weeks time ok girls. Could someone just remind me every day I must resist please!!!!!

sazzlehopes · 04/11/2013 12:31

Thanks keepon, it is ok though - these things happen. 12 months will be a milestone but hey ho! We do at least have one kiddo so i feel lucky. I really feel for m33r trying for her first - it gets hard to keep the positive approach going after all this time.
I like your approach - we are going to do something similar this month, although I'm tired just thinking about it!!! AF has just moved on so we will see what happens!
We will be testing just days apart so perhaps we should support each other in not poas?! It will be easier said than done though - I have a tonne of those damn ICs in the house...

Justanotherforumname · 04/11/2013 12:31

Thanks dinky and sazzle.

Not quite sure how we managed first try, I feel amazingly lucky though! We followed the sperm meets egg plan so basically just dtd every other day. I couldnt get the opks to work right so based ovulation date off an iphone app i found...

AF due today i think so waited until then - no symptoms at all yet so i was blown away when it was positive!

Good luck for your due date Smile

keepswimming1 · 04/11/2013 12:51

Yes I just have to hold off testing. I the chocolate bar was lush esp since I have been dieting for the last few weeks so enjoyed it even more :)

This morning I have had twinges in my nipples and also in my lower abdominal which kinda goes down through to my right leg. Its a very weird feeling.

LH – Defo hold off testing with your digi, just in case there's not enough thingy majig to detect it. Have you tested again this morning? Men are such pains, they just do not understand.

Mama – well done in not purchasing any tests.

MASSIVE CONGRATS - JUST

m33r · 04/11/2013 13:11

sazzle trying for first is so hard and I hate how long it's taking. It's just getting harder and harder and am frankly at a loss what to do. I think maybe this month I'll get a ff, temp and maybe get preseed or similar and then dtd every other day... I dunno if that's too much but I'm becoming useless, emotional, distracted and frankly my usual sunny position is being faked!

All a bit doom and gloom from here I'm afraid. Sure I'll get sorted as I accept it's not for me this time!

Thrilled with your news just! Congrats! We're still in Sumer baby territory too! Hurrah!

sazzlehopes · 04/11/2013 13:18

m33r - i really feel for you. a second would be lovely of course, but i feel so lucky to have one child already.

i think those things sound like a good idea. i don't know but i have to feel productive each month and have a new plan or a new something to get going again...hoping that will be the miracle worker! hence why last month i bought a cbfm...
have you been to the docs yet to get checked out? maybe book that in if not, again it feels productive...
and the only other suggestion is because you don't have a child do something like book a holiday, or a weekend away roughly when your ov will happen and relax and drink fizz with your OH and try and enjoy the dtd bit! i know that is easier said than done and involves money and time off work etc, but really you can save money when you fall pregnant!

i'm here though - come and bitch and moan whenever you like. i will try and keep your chin up - i am definitely here to listen. i know what rolling into your 12th month feels like. i really hope we both get the christmas present of a bfp this month. massive hugs xx

mama31 · 04/11/2013 13:31

Hugs to you M33R! I sent a wee msg to your inbox not sure if you got it? I am technically quite challenged hope it's there :/

Well ladies, I just did a cheap opk which came up immediately with a very strong positive, the line was there before the test line! So dipped the clearblue digital opk and there is was.....a big happy smiley face staring back at me!!!! whoop whoop!!! Hooray!!! :) so here we go with a few more days of dtd!!!! I will def be in a heap by Friday, there's no doubt about that now!!!

Congrats just! Can't believe we have 5 bfp's already!!!! Amazing!!!! :)

mama31 · 04/11/2013 13:33

I'm such a saddo I took a pic of the opks to show DH when he wakes (he was on nights last night) as I've been going on about these opks for days and how I wanted to see the smiley face!!! He's gona think (know) I'm such a wally!!!

m33r · 04/11/2013 13:37

Thanks sazzle. Yeah, I've had 21 day test and it's fine. DH is fine. We're in 6-9mibth queue for hosp referral. I had a grand plan about sticking with my plan to feb then starting to think about 'living' again. Not stopping trying but stopping with the opks etc. also to start to live as I won't have kids eg decorating the 'would be nursery' rather than leaving it in the hope I can get pregnant. All very depressing but at what point do you ... I just don't know ...

Sorry sorry sorry ... So sad. Actually sore!

Anyway, last rubbish post. Will give myself a slap!

Am loving the BFPs coming in (and also don't think you want it any less if you already one, so hoping and feeling for you too!)

MrsCarridge · 04/11/2013 13:45

Congrats everyone with the bfp's and sorry to those AF caught out... My BFP or AF is due this week. Im going to hold off an testing until AF Is officially late so there'll be no doubting if I've testing too early. But the way my chin has broke out in spots id say af was making her way to visit! :(

elcranko · 04/11/2013 14:01

Congratulations Just!

I'm sorry to hear that it's taking so long for some of you. Really hope that you get those BFPs soon x

Choccywoccydodah · 04/11/2013 14:15

Woohoo, congratulations just!!!
I was getting all excited you got an early bfp reading as you were on the list as the 6th November, so I was thinking I should maybe test in 2 days. Were you listed wrongly then? :(
Pah!
must sit on hands til Friday

Karmalaa · 04/11/2013 14:16

hi all, in a bid to "ignore" the 2WW I've been purposefully lurking in the background not logging on but caved in today and just had to say wowzers and congrats to all the BFP!!!

I'm at 8DPO today and determined not to start symptom spotting or testing early... problem is I just remembered a bunch of ics which I have tucked away in a drawer....

mama31 · 04/11/2013 14:21

Flymo my blood test is on 13th nov so almost blood test buddies!!! Haha! Really, are we actually excited about this...yes....we are!!!! :/

Choccy yes sit on your hands!!!! Not too long to wait now!!! Well I'm sure it actually feels like forever!!!!

Choccywoccydodah · 04/11/2013 14:32

Seems like forever mama! Btw yes I was taking 50mg b6 and 100mg after ov Smile

OP posts:
mama31 · 04/11/2013 14:40

Ok thanks! ill maybe increase to 100 after ovulation then! :)

Flymo quick question, the 21 day blood test....my GP told me to come in on 13th nov but if I count first day of af as cd1 I should be going in on 12th as that would be cd21....confused....would this matter give or take a day?

flymo79 · 04/11/2013 14:54

mama, that is good news, I want to know what to expect! The doc worked it out with me as either 14th or 15th Nov, but there was only one appointment available (i.e on 14th) and that will be cd22 for me too! I normally have between 30 and 33 day cycles, which I explained to the doc. I don't think it matters as presumably "day 21" is just a guideline for them, they test for all sorts of things (I looked as she ticked them off), not just progesterone so presumably they use lots of different markers to see if you've ovulated or not. All very confusing but am hoping next week I will feel a bit more enlightened!!

We're also doing smep this month so everything crossed for bfps!! xxxxxx

Justanotherforumname · 04/11/2013 14:59

choccy i think i might have got my dates wrong - i thought my period was due on the 6th but looking again yest im pretty sure my period was due today so went for the test just in case...

onelifeonechance · 04/11/2013 15:00

Hello lovely ladies Smile

I had yst off as had friends to stay with their adorable little one, we had so much fun but felt so sad when they had left, talk about cranking up the broodiness factor. I WANT ONE
