Congrats ajmc Flowers There's a definIte line there!! Xmas Smile
choccy hope your lines gets stronger... fx for you and a healthy pregnancy x

Wineandchoccy · 11/12/2013 09:11

Morning all, congratulations to everybody who has got a bfp. Let's hope this bus stays lucky for the rest of us Xmas Smile

I'm on cd25 today, not sure when bfp/AF due as cycles have been between 29 - 35 days. I've felt a lot more relaxed about it this month so hope that helps.

Choccywoccydodah · 11/12/2013 09:36

Have out another piccie on, this one is a superdrug one, came up straight away, still faint though but dh can see it so it's not just me!!

Yes spinning, 2 weeks eek!!!
We've decided to wait to tell the parents at Xmas now if this one sticks, they were gutted when I had a chem so don't want to do that again!

Anyone else testing today?

Right, going to clean the house. Ds at nursery til 1 and tree arriving between 10.40 and 11.40 so I beat get cracking Grin

LH1981 · 11/12/2013 09:50

Congrats Choccy and amjc!!!! Fingers crossed for stronger lines and sticky beans!

Choccy, I had a chem last month too, it's so horrible. It took ages for the hormones to stop registering and everything to settle down.

Feeling weird. Feel sicky but have this horrid head cold so think it's that. Had it for two weeks now bleugh! Other than that, no symptoms at all! CD31 now. Normally get tender boobs, and cramps but nada. Hoping no symptoms is a symptom ha!

When are you testing again choccy?

SoMuchFruit · 11/12/2013 09:53

Congrats Choccy and ajmc Xmas Grin - this is a crazy-lucky bus. Every time I log on there are more BFPs.

Hi Mama, glad to hear you are doing well. FX you get a BFP too Xmas Wink

(I love the festive smilies, sorry for the overload)

OD15+ today. AF was due yesterday. No sign as such. General pelvic/abdo soreness as if I did loads if ab crunches but lower down (I didn't.. my ab wouldn't know what a crunch was)

All the EWCM-type gloop has kinda disappeared now (?) slightly stickier wetness still remains but not nearly as much. From googling I would assume that I am just having a longer than usual cycle Xmas Sad and not a BFP situation. Dunno if I am being really tight but can't decide whether to waste another tenner on tests or not.

(In a mad, MAD, way I did a LucyFluff and stashed some FMU in case I decide to test and need FMU.. That's totally insane isn't it. Can't get to shops until later..)

Ho Ho Ho Hum - holidays booked and really looking forward to Feb now, usually it's my worst month as it's so long and dreary. Not this time!

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 09:57

Ooh somuch....deffo buy a test and use that fmu later....can't let it go to waste! Good luck Grin

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 09:58

And where are Christmas smilies? Do you mean on MN, I can't see them.....I want Christmas smilies! Grin

sazzlehopes · 11/12/2013 10:00

Ladies! This bus is AWESOME!
Right I will update soon - but will wait for choccy and ajmc to maybe feel their tests are stronger? What do think ladies? Or are you happy for me to pop you on the bfp list?!!
Congrats though - and choccy, wow 3 years to the day - so damn perfect! Hope all is ok with you, and also pleased to hear it only takes a couple of goes dtd!

Lucy hope your scan is ok - let us know how you got on.

SMF lovin the 'pee stash' hilarious! looking forward to you using the stash later. fx!

LH glad af is still staying away - you testing again?

Mama hi!! Grin

RoseHoney · 11/12/2013 10:01

Morning everyone Smile
Congrats to Today's testers!
I did yet another test today and the line is still faint and taking a minute or two to appear, not sure if it's any darker than Mondays, maybe slightly but I'm now worrying that something isn't right, am I being paranoid? I'm not actually due on until tomorrow so could it just be because I'm so early? Arghhh i forgot about all the worry in the first trimester! ConfusedConfused

SoMuchFruit · 11/12/2013 10:02

Christmas smilies are on here Spinning, below the regular ones or just add an f before the usual code inside the [ ] Xmas Wink

I dunno if I am being tight or just avoiding the disappointment of a single line.. I have nervy butterflies just thinking about it. I find AF easier to deal with. Usually I am really regular. AF turning up at the same time almost etc. I have the odd shorter/longer one but very rarely. I just wonder if this is a cruel trick and it's simply a long one ..

Mind is doing circles! Can't decide!! head-desk

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 10:04

Hehe I've just worked out that on Monday I'll be 10dpo(maybe got too much time on my hands!) not long till I can start poas like a crazy woman Grin

sazzlehopes · 11/12/2013 10:06

I'm still going for a slightly more relaxed plan. So we dtd last night and had a peak on my machine this morning - however i still think i'm going to miss out tonight and dtd tomorrow and then miss fri and dtd saturday instead. Save dh swimmers and also the previous months we've managed it 4 nights in a row it just made things feel like a chore? AND we didn't get a bfp out of it anyway! I much prefer a night off personally....makes me feel more relaxed that I'm not continuously thinking about it all.
That isn't crazy right? Right? After seeing a few more people on here only dtd a few times and getting their BFP I think I feel it can still be possible just dtd eod!

Choccywoccydodah · 11/12/2013 10:06

Sazzle feel free to update me Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 11/12/2013 10:07

Having a lens up break, jeez this stuff is foul!

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 10:07

Somuch....thanks I'm on my phone so don't think I have them Sad

I know what you mean, fx af is not late and you get your bfpGrin

Choccywoccydodah · 11/12/2013 10:08

*lemsip

LH1981 · 11/12/2013 10:15

sazzle ideally I'd wait til at least Friday but I'm in town tomorrow so planning on picking up a Superdrug test and I know I won't have the willpower to wait lol!

Somuch Test! Test! Test!!! I'm terrible, sorry! xx

spinningirl10 · 11/12/2013 10:19

Sazzle that sounds like a good idea! The dtd on demand certainly takes the fun out of it. I feel relieved when I know it's not ov time and can just go with the flow again Grin

SoMuchFruit · 11/12/2013 10:32

Xmas Grin LH

I dunno.. scared!

Am I mad not testing ?

LH1981 · 11/12/2013 10:36

Well, if you're already late then you know that you'll have a definitive answer if you test. What would be worse for you - testing and getting a BFN, or the waiting to see if AF turns up?

I'm a control freak so I'd test but that's just me! Xmas Wink Plus, I'm nosey and I want to know if you're up-duffed or not lol!! xx

SoMuchFruit · 11/12/2013 10:38

Aaargh! #freakingout

Right. Have to go to Tesco later so will buy tests.

sazzlehopes · 11/12/2013 10:40

LH - I'd not be able to resist either...we are all the same! Lol. Good luck testing though - have my fx crossed for you.

SMF you are not mad testing at all...but if you are normally regular then it seems promising AF has not arrived.....

LH1981 · 11/12/2013 10:43

Yay SMF!! I've got my wicked way! Xmas Wink
Let us know ASAP??? Will have fx for you!
xx

sazzlehopes · 11/12/2013 10:44

choccy lemsip is rank. instead pop a paracetamol and have a real honey, lemon and ginger tea. We use a ginger cordial and it's the nuts.

PS thanks everyone for letting me share my 'eod sex plan' with you. I sometimes wonder how I managed for the first 9 months without you lot. I cannot imagine telling my RL friends, "so, and I'm doing it tonight, skipping a day then blah blah blah...." Grin Shock
