Morning ladies...
Cant wait to see some more confirmed bfps! It gives me hope that one day it will be my turn.
I just had a job interview.... eeeekk! Been living in amsterdam a month and am going slightly insane not working so hoping i get it. Plus that'll keep my mind off all things ttc!!

sleeping Thats some mega dtd-athon! How on earth are you coping! Just remember dtd too much can be counter-productive. Gotta give dh a chance to build up decent sperm again.

On another note...i have no idea when ive ov. Had a peak on opk on saturday, but ff has noticed my thermal shift as of tuesday. Last dtd on monday, so hopefully either way we've done enough..

MundayCakes85 · 12/12/2013 12:34

Lucy I'm afraid I won't be testing with you tomorrow as AF has rudely arrived early Sad
Off to go eat lots of chocolate, drink mulled cider and smoke furiously in the corner of the party!
Good luck everyone- I'll keep an eye on here for more festive BFPs xxx

babyspice2501 · 12/12/2013 12:50

sazzle im also going to see how I feel. If I can hold it till 25th then I will but if not ill prob do it 23rd. I cant wait to poas! My pregnancy test turned up this morning (I ordered them online) and I nearly dribbled with excitement!

spinningirl10 · 12/12/2013 12:57

Sleeping....thrush is awful. Well done dtd with it. I don't think I could and you know dh will need some cream as well! I would try and get something now as Sazzle suggested and hope it clears it up quickly so you can dtd tomorrow night Grin

Sazzle....loving the wine craving!!!Grin

spinningirl10 · 12/12/2013 12:57

Munday....sorry af has arrivedHmm

mama31 · 12/12/2013 13:01

Think I may just make myself feel better and pretend I'm on cycle 5...not 7! haha! The first one (as Lucy said) was a withdraw bleed from bc...so now not counting that one and cycle 2 didn't use opks and pretty certain we dtd at the wrong time! as I ovulate quite early and never knew until started opks on cycle 3! So hear we are....ive managed to convince myself not to worry as I'm really only on cycle 5 haha!!!! seriously...in denial or what?!!

Lucy defo relaxed approach, might do an opk on my usual ov day just to confirm but think will stick to eod sex soon as af departs! It's much nicer than marathon sex....even though DH quite likes marathon sex every day sometimes twice a day :/ I just can't do it!!! So eod with lots of Christmas cheer thrown in!!!! Feeling a lot better today!!! Onwards and upwards!!!

Good luck all you lovely ladies testing!!! Can't wait to see your bfp's confirmed!! :)

lucyfluff · 12/12/2013 13:07

Oh no munday Sad poas twin boooo. Pour yourself a large vino and good luck for next cycle x

Mama I can see the logic there re cycle so dont actually think your crazy! Esp now you know when you ovulate so can dtd around that time. Eod is the best way in my opinion too so good luck for the next cycle Smile lota of festive naughtiness will deffo cheer you up!

Ive put DH on a sex-ban until we know whats going on mwhahahaha Wink

sazzlehopes · 12/12/2013 13:34

Spinning - i know, right...great craving. Classy. I want to note this was last night, I do not crave wine in the morning - that would be so very wrong!

Mama - not mad at all, probably more sensible that way. If I think about it although have been ttc since this time last year, but....2 months we sat out as we didn't like the idea of another chrimbo/jan baby (I won't bother this time round!) and one month we only managed to dtd once for some reason. So really I have only been seriously ttc for 9 months, and this will be my 10th cycle. So according to statistics I have a good chance of conceiving in the next two months! I might even change my stats on the next bus to feel better!

Lucy - I'm going for the eod this month rather than the sex marathon...and carrying on for a bit longer because of that. I've noticed we seem to always go for it up to ov and then for 2 days after but then crash and burn and never make it past cd 17 and i'm pretty convinced i conceived my ds on day 18 now i look back so going to keep going this time eod! How you feeling though? You must be desperate to poas? I would be going out of my mind with that scan information!

Munday - so sorry af got you. Make sure you take advantage and fully enjoy christmas!

spinningirl10 · 12/12/2013 13:41

Sounds sensible to me Mama.... I only realise this month that I I've earlier than I thought so probably never dtd at the right time!! The month I mc we had been away and didn't give ttc a second thought! Hmmm maybe need another holiday!!! Grin

spinningirl10 · 12/12/2013 13:51

Somuch....I was looking on the due in August thread and there's someone there who said her lines were faint until 18/19dpo and then they suddenly got darker!Grin

mama31 · 12/12/2013 14:36

Thanks ladies! Feel better already now that you are feeding in to me being only on cycle 5 ;) good work!! :)

Sazzle hopefully you won't be on the next bus ;)

lucyfluff · 12/12/2013 15:04

Sazzle - its always the way isnt it, you plan eod and then burn out. We only just made it to CD 20 this month lol! and I will be really suprised if we are deffo preggers!! Could you start eod from say CD12....and then maybe it wont seem as much?

Im ok thankyou, still having side pain so going to book docs for next week either way. I cant work out whats causing it as I have back issues that side too and my mum suggested sciatica?! christ knows feels like my body is falling apart at times lol!!! Going to poa IC tmrw just to see what happens Smile such an odd feeling......

BexBoo12 · 12/12/2013 16:02

Hi ladies, quick question (while waiting at the dentist) I have a stitch type pain on my right hand side...could this be ov? Is that what it feels like? Thanks in advance...will catch up properly when I'm out of this hell hole!!! Xx

Kittyrose1 · 12/12/2013 16:14

Hi all, I popped up a couple of weeks ago and then disappeared agin! So busy with work at the mo stressing me out a bit which is no good for our ttc plans!
Really pleased there are some bfp for some of the ladies on the December bus :) exiting!
I've been monitoring cm and doing OPKs and more confused now than i started lol! Had no positives so far but weird watery cm today on cd20.

AF is due 22nd -26th dec so smack bang around Christmas.
Good luck ladies will try to keep up wih you all more now work is calming down

Missvaughan85 · 12/12/2013 16:50

Lucy is worrying a sign of a libran?? I am too and I'm a terrible worrier!! I'm a cup half empty type of girl.

SoMuchFruit · 12/12/2013 17:59

Is there nobody online ?? Am alone with my mad excitement!

Went to town and bought 2 x Tesco HPTs and a FRER. Didn't pee since 12ish. Came home, desperate for a pee. PIAC and hey presto - 4mins in, clear BFP! It's not dark, dark but absolutely a BFP Xmas Grin

Woooooo! Will attempt to put up a pic!

SoMuchFruit · 12/12/2013 17:59

I feel a bit insensitive - so sorry AF got you Munday Thanks Sad

SoMuchFruit · 12/12/2013 18:00

I peed on the Tesco one btw.

lucyfluff · 12/12/2013 18:13

Wooooooooohoooo SMF Grin Grin Grin congratulations. Were any of them digi's?? no doubting a line though!!!

Miss v - my mum is a libra too and always told me we are natural worriers! Its probably an old wives tale but its true for me!!!

SoMuchFruit · 12/12/2013 18:16

Thanks Lucy! Am thrilled. I took a pic, it's much clearer in RL and put it in the gallery on my profile if anyone wants a peek.

DH gone to his Christmas party, I've sent him a cryptic text..

I didn't get any Digi's after last months CB Digi drama but I'll do the FRER in the morning and maybe the other Tesco one on Sat Grin

spinningirl10 · 12/12/2013 18:17

Somuch.....Yay, Congratulations to you!!!! GrinGrin

Such exciting news!!

MundayCakes85 · 12/12/2013 18:17

SoMuch congratulations!! Really happy for you, obviously we will need all you details now Smile
I blame DTD last night for AF showing up early [oops]

spinningirl10 · 12/12/2013 18:18

Lucy.....how are you feeling? Are you going to poas tomorrow? Grin

BexBoo12 · 12/12/2013 18:21

So much I can't get on your profile...is it public? X

barmybunting · 12/12/2013 18:22

Hi everyone, can I poke my head back in please?
We are going to need another new thread again looking at all of this chatting!
Lovely to see more BFPs, congratulations!

Sazzle, thank you for stats updates. I'm sorry I had to run and hide! It's been a horrendous few days at work, but things seem to be settling a bit thankfully and I am now off until next week and heading away to see the in laws tomorrow so I'm glad of a few days peace.
I still haven't told DH that I have a vague idea I may have a bfp. I was going to POAS again on Tues but with work, I have avoided it all week so I'll see what a digi says tomorrow morning. I've been feeling awful since Mon, so I'm guessing there is still something going on in there so hopefully it will show up on a digi by now. 18dpo min I think so it had better!
