Yay...Congratulations Catface, great news :)

booisgreat · 04/12/2013 12:42

Hi everyone. I too have been quiet. Have managed not to use 45 OPKS this cycle. Not sure when I ovulated as had 3 days of positive opks with middle one being really dark. Not symptom spotting this month. Since mmc have noticed boobs get sore from ovulation to AF. Before always sore a few days before AF. Will try not to test until the 10th. Will find it hard though. ay give tests to dh to put up high where I cant reach. Think I am either 6 or 7 or 8dpo. (bold me, I don't chart temps).

LittleOwlie · 04/12/2013 13:05

Congrats Catface!! Is this the first BFP of the new thread?

Catface78 · 04/12/2013 13:14

Nope JennyofOldstones, not the cartoons, I was just looking at my cat when coming up with a username! lol. And thanks all for the congrats. Second month trying, first month with the fertility monitor. I totally recommend it. Took all the guess work out of ovulation. Turns out I ovulate later than the online calculators say! Bring on more BFPs!!!

PinkHat1 · 04/12/2013 13:43

Congrats to all the BFP!! November was certainly a lucky bus! I'm back on the bus, was due today but have been spotting since yesterday so I know the wicked witch is on her way Sad anyhoo onwards & upwards! please can I be added to the bus?

#ttc1 cycle 6 (how time flies!) BFP due 30 dec

JennyOfOldstones · 04/12/2013 13:44

Ahhh I see you should watch them catface they are great!!

babyspice2501 · 04/12/2013 13:55

Congratulations catface!!!! Wow more bfps! Well done girls so far who have been lucky enough to get them! :)

Im hoping I ovulate next week. Im just gonna dtd as much as we can through out my cycle and try to enjoy xmas without thinking much about conceiving. ... easier said than done though!

babyspice2501 · 04/12/2013 13:59

pinkhat is that normal for you to spot like that before af? It might be implantation bleed?

Catface78 · 04/12/2013 14:04

OMG JennyOfOldstones I've just checked out the cartoons. I might waste even more time at work now!!!

Nordicmom · 04/12/2013 14:05

Hi! Can I hop on please?! We've just started ttc#3 ( and second took 5 long y and is a long story ) so am in cycle 1 and due BFP next week hopefully. We've got a good track record in conceiving easily but having misscarriages and haven't tried for 4 y so am very nervous and stressed . I've always known whithin days I'm pregnant but this time confused and don't think it's happening ...
Nordicmom ttc#3 cycle 1
Congrats for any BFP so far :)!

JennyOfOldstones · 04/12/2013 14:24

catface he's got a big catface, he's got the body of a cat and the face of a cat.....

woodwaj · 04/12/2013 14:33

Would someone like my seat. Had some spotting today so im expecting AF :(

Good luck ladies xx

PinkHat1 · 04/12/2013 15:47

Yes it's pretty normal unfortunately babyspice Since posting cramps have got worse so the witch is definitely here. Plus my temp took a huge dip this morning so I knew it was coming. Glad I'm temping actually - it's helped me figure out when I'm ovulating shame it didn't 'catch' this time though! Only wish I started temping sooner. Oh well live n learn!

Catface78 · 04/12/2013 16:18

JennyOfOldstones and he flies through the air cus he's got a catface...hahahaha

laravh · 04/12/2013 16:26

Congrats catface! Great news!!

Any one help me out with SMEP?? I'm using the CB OPKs with the flashing face then fixed face. Should I start the 3days bonkathon on first day of higher first day of peak?? 2nd day of flashing (high) today... Do we DTD today??

babyspice2501 · 04/12/2013 17:05

:( oh no sorry to hear that pinkhat but as you said at least you know now with temping for next time. :) does that mean you will.be due end of dec now?

laravh im not sure but if it was me id dtd every night I got a smiley face just to make sure ;) sorry if thats not much help. I havent started using my opks yet. I will start on fri I think

laravh · 04/12/2013 17:21

Baby thats what i thought but we did that in oct and it all just got a bit mechanical. thinking i might start my 3days yesterday... dtd tonight and tomorrow and then skip fri and dtd sat. Wanted to stick to the SMEP as much as possible..... hmmmmm

DichotoMous · 04/12/2013 17:25

Congratulations Catface, how many DPO are you? Grin

Today I have felt 30% pregnant, 70% not. I have 20 (whatever the unit is) tests waiting and calling out to me but I sort of don't want to know in case it's neg. Very frustrating!

Missvaughan85 · 04/12/2013 17:32

Well hubby's been out and bought tests, af is due tomorrow, supposedly, can I pee and keep it?? Just in case or should I just wait until tomorrow?? X x

What does DPO mean dichtomous? I totally didn't feel prego. What a surprise! Also tested last night and was negative, so my advice is wait til the first morning wee.

lucyfluff · 04/12/2013 17:48

Days past ovulation catface Grin congratulations too!!!!

Arghhhhhh missv......wait for fmu!!!!! how exciting. how are you feeling??

Missvaughan85 · 04/12/2013 17:48
