BFPs popping out from Christmas crackers and stockings - The December bus is lining up to find bfps under that tree!

[barmybunting]

Thanks SMF! Sounding very positive for you!!! Maybe do a digi tomorrow! :)

Oh mama I'm sorry af got to you, so much mine were barely there it's Tuesday that it got really dark, digi did t pick mine up till Monday, I tested last night on a digi and it said 2-3 how can it change that quickly?? Yes I'm a poas addict!!! I do t think I'll stop for a while. It's reassuring to still see a line.

Anyone else testing today?? Or are you waiting till party bus tomorrow?? X x

Thanks MissV hope you are keeping well :)

So one positive is that af came full flow yesterday, no spotting for 4 days so I've figured that if I don't take b6 and just leave it to nature then I'd prob have a 23 day cycle every time with no spotting as I think the b6 was preventing full flow from cd23 but spotting was coming through.

Just gona keep going with leaving it to nature I think! At least with a 23day cycle, it will be time to go again soon.....what a rollercoaster!!!! and BFP would be due on DH Birthday.....

Ps just while I'm trying (so hard) to make myself feel better, can I ask if the time between coming off the pill and your first bleed is classed as a cycle???

Hahaha! I'm so trying to convince myself that I'm going on to cycle 6 and not cycle 7!! (what a loser I know lol)

You have whatever cycle you like mama! I am thinking of bringing down mine from 13 to 11 due to the fact I'm pretty sure we didn't try hard enough for 2 months!
Oh and glad you have started af properly - it does sound like your body is happier? Full flow is surely better than spotting for days? Good luck for next cycle - bfp on DH birthday sounds pretty good to me....

I decided I was one cycle less Mama - you can be whatever you want to be. I discarded the first cycle when we decided to ttc again as I hadn't been tracking cycle dates so that was never going to happen.

So I view this as cycle 4 not 5

I am tortured here - dunno whether to buy more tests (and whether to drink tonight, BFF's round for supper / film / wine)

Mama.....good to see you're still around and good news with af being full flow and no spotting, you really deserve your bfp soon!

Somuch.....I think it's looking good for you after 2 tests with faint lines! How about buying a different brand? You will deffo want to test again later/tomorrow, both!!

Hey so much sounds positive! I'm going to check tomorrow morning...getting Superdrug tests as we speak!

Fingers crossed!!!

On another note, someone on a previous thread mentioned some sort of lube/gel (eek can you imagine this conversation in RL?)! that helps DH swimmers? Can anyone tell me what it's called? X

Preseed LH although I think there are also others, like the Balance Active one on the sponsored thread.

Spinning I think I'll go mad and buy more! I want to know dammit and to tell DH but I can't tell him unless it's definitely a BFP. Also, got some fairly high octane/risk horsey activities planned for the weekend so want to cancel those if I am preggo. I would still ride but maybe not the really dangerous stuff!

SMF - maybe you should buy another brand? A superdrug one? OR something only 10miu? I'm not sure what the cb diggie ones are - but think it's defo worth investing in something else for later or tomorrow morning.
Do you have a pic of the line you want us to look at for you?

Ooooh LH good luck for tomorrow!

We have no close Superdrug so I have a choice of what would be in Boots/Chemists and Tesco/Dunnes so the usual bigger brands of CB/FR and some own-brands.

I've given up trying to take a pic. Phone just not good enough camera

Going to buy some sort of test today though, just what kind!

Oh SMF I'm not sure what to buy - i guess a FRER - aren't they the most sensitive?

On another more selfish note, should I feel twinges in my ovary area for longer that a few days? They were quite strong on mon, then i got a peak on my cbfm tue (so i asssumed ov pain) but have continued to feel light twinges on and off tue, wed and a little today. Am I over feeling things - or should i get looked into? Thanks ladies.

Just caught up on thread. Congrats to the bfps :) roughly 4/5 dpo here. Trying really hard not to think about anything possibly pregnancy related failing miserably Will probably be staying off the buses in the New year otherwise due date will be roughly on my wedding

Is this every month Sazzle ?

A friend has ov pain for about 4 days every month. Tweaky-twingy kind of pain on either side of Ov. She got it checked out and there was nothing out of kilter, it's just her.

I'm going into town shortly so will go mad and buy a FRER and maybe a Digi for tomorrow.

Yes pretty much every month - it is fine - doesn't hurt. I guess we are all so different there is no point comparing, some get ov pain, some not, some get preggo symptoms others not, some get ewcm....i go could go on and on! Anyway was just checking, thank you for replying x
Good luck buying your test! Eeeepppp!

SMF I have heard boots own are good although never tried them...good luck testing later or will you wait until tmrw??

Sazzle - Ov pains spund perfectly normal, ive even read you can have them up until AF what a pain that would be!!! Dont worry unless its a painful pain say enough to warrant drugs

Mama thats great about AF and you are lucky with nice short cycles, I think the first one after bc is classed as a withdrawal bleed so technically not a proper cycle but I may be wrong!!! Are you going with the relaxed method this month?

CD28 here and no obvious AF signs., will poas tmrw - who else is joining in ladies??? so far munday/smf?/lh? cant rem who else!!!!!!

Ladies will someone please slap some sense into me - this TTC is becoming an obsession and Im only on cycle 1.

On CD14 today and have been POAS since CD10 and still no smiley face. Using the clear blue that tells you your 2 most fertile days. My normal cycle is 27/28 days so worried Im not ovulating.

On top of that and I apologise for tmi but have the worst case of thrush going. (You know the advert for caneston where she is dragging herself aling the floor like a dog . Do I treat it now or do I grin and bear it for a few more days to try and catch OV. Dtd everyday since CD10 and had planned on carrying on this dtdathon until Monday but it is now a struggle. And DH looks exhausted.

Sleeping - I sort of want to laugh at the dog reference but thrush is horrid. I'm not sure what to say about it other than it can't be fun dtd with it? Maybe run out and get something to nip it in the bud quickly so you can have a night off tonight and hopefully it'll feel better for tomorrow eve? Maybe get the tablet and cream combo thingy?

Personally we can't handle dtd every night - it becomes a chore and DH becomes tired and I don't think we have so much fun!
I have a 28/29 cycle and ov on day 15/16 so you might get a smiley tomorrow morning. When I conceived DS i got a smiley on day 18....

Lucy - thank you for the info, i feel more reassured now. Working freelance is sometimes bad - no office distractions - means i feel and over think EVERYTHING!!!

In other news...possibly 1dpo and I'm craving wine and caffeine, cannot be a good sign right?! I think I'm going from relaxed to loopy this week. Oh dear.

sazzle I think im 1dpo aswell! When are you to to poas? I thought I was dec 25th but when I work it out online on a calculater thing its says im due af on 23rd dec? So I might poas on 23rd?? What do you girls think?

I know that feeling sazzle! Im a massive worrier, libra so that prob explains it lol. Constantly googling things and being told off by my mum and DH !!! Try not to worry

Stars- Agree with sazzle, your peak may be in a couple of days so dont panic. My cycle is 28 and it was 16-18 ov this mnth going by symptoms.

ps that is an amazing craving sazzle

Baby - i am due af on dec 24th/25th i think. But i will probably start poas sat 21st as i have a drinks thing that eve and will want to start checking. I should be about 10dpo so i might get lucky, and if not i'll relax about having a few drinks. But i'll see how i feel. LAst month i had no urge to poas and was so relaxed, but this month i'm feeling crazy. Goodness knows what is going on!
