Dichoto, where on earth have you disappeared to on the stats? Can you remind me of them again please?

OP posts:
DichotoMous · 04/12/2013 17:55

I'd heard about fmu catface. Icm probably still too early to test anyway, and I'd love to get a strong positive rather than a squinty one!

missvaughn get a 2 pack, then you have one for tonight and one for the morning Wink

spinningirl10 · 04/12/2013 17:56

Oooh MissV....I would test now!!!! But I am very impatient and I should be encouraging you to wait till the morningGrin Good luck!

barmybunting · 04/12/2013 17:57

MissV - I would wait until fmu if you can hold out. When does AF normally arrive during the day? Are you better to wait until Friday?

No way I would manage that if it was due tomorrow though, you saw I gave in and POAS on Mon and got a BFN of course so I'm not one to talk!

Good luck, fingers crossed for you.

Still no sign of AF for me, I haven't POAS since Mon afternoon, I'm a bit scared to incase it's negative and it's just my cycle buggering around again after the pill still. I'm CD37 today, and AF came on CD 34 for the last 2 months, but that was a 9 day LP and I'm taking b6 this month in an attempt to lengthen my LP, so it could just be that my LP has got slightly longer and AF is still on her evil way.

I'm debating POAS tomorrow am again but would really like to hold out until Friday morning. I fully intend to POAS on Friday morning if I can avoid tomorrow but it seems a very long time away just now! Where is that magic wand to go faster?

Thanks Dichoto, I remember now Smile. I knew you were sometime soon though from a previous chat, hence very confused when I couldn't find you!

Updated now.

lucyfluff · 04/12/2013 18:01

Oh ladies YES Im pointing at you barmy + missv!!!! You need to poas tmrw ppleaassseeee Smile

babyspice2501 · 04/12/2013 18:06

laravh sounds like a good plan :) what does SMEP mean?

Missvaughan I agree with dichoto get 2. Do one tonight then tomorrow!!! ;)

laravh · 04/12/2013 18:17

Baby- SMEP is Sperm Meets Egg Plan... Google it. Giving it a go, it can't hurt!
FX for everyone Poas this week! X

spinningirl10 · 04/12/2013 18:23

Barmy.....ooh you must poas stick in the morning as well!!Grin Fx for you!

KitKat1985 · 04/12/2013 18:24

Just popping on to say congrats to Catface. :) Crossing my fingers for everyone else poas in the next few days! Grin

Missvaughan85 · 04/12/2013 19:13

I've got two, I opened the box but I've just peed to stop myself from poas. Af usually comes around 9/10 am. I don't know what to do for the best, I'm nervous to poas yet it's that addiction again. I just want to poas!!! Should I wait to see if af arrives???? I'm trying to tell myself to wait!!!

Catface78 · 04/12/2013 19:23

Thanks guys!!! I wasted so many tests must have spent about £50 on nothing. But you just can't help yourself! Good luck and hope we see loads more bfps tomorrow! X

spinningirl10 · 04/12/2013 19:39

Ahh MissV....you will have to see how you feel when you wake up....if you feel the urge to poas do it, otherwise wait!! You're a stronger person than I am, I would have poas by now! Grin

BexBoo12 · 04/12/2013 20:03

Hello everyone!! Cor blimey, I can't keep up with you ladies, I logged on briefly this morning, and haven't had a chance all day and now I feel like I'm about 6 months behind your posts!! There's bloody hundreds!!

Congrats to those with BFP, amazing news!!

Sorry to those that AF has managed to grab hold of. Sit it out, then send her on her merry way, hopefully for the last time for the next 9 months tee hee.

Would anyone mind if I hijacked this thread to share some exciting news that is not directly linked to baby making?! I am going to burst if I don't tell anyone, and its top secret in RL...it COULD potentially be related to TTC...

Well, I have today provisionally booked OUR WEDDING!! Its top secret...we are eloping!! I will find out tomorrow if they have received our M10 forms before anyone else has grabbed our slot...on New Years Eve in Gretna Green!! I am due BFP around the 27th, so not going to test that day, will test on New Years Eve - aka OUR WEDDING DAY!! if AF hasn't arrived, and hoping beyond hope that we get our much wanted BFP on our wedding day, how perfect would that be xx

Sorry for the totally self centred post, I promise I won't talk anymore about it - I know we are here to make babies and not plan weddings, but I had to tell SOMEONE!!

barmybunting · 04/12/2013 20:04

MissV, if AF usually arrives at around 9/10am, can you hold off until after that? But that kind of negates FMU I'm guessing. See how you feel in the morning I think, but if you've held off this long, I would be very tempted to hold off tomorrow and if AF doesn't arrive, go for it tomorrow afternoon and FMU on Friday.

You are doing well holding on!

OP posts:
babyspice2501 · 04/12/2013 20:06

Thanks laravh! Ill google it now :) sounds like something id try hehe

Missvaughan im so tempted to clap my hands together and chant PEE - ON - A -STICK! PEE - ON - A - STICK!! but that would be very naughty of me just because I would of by now, let alone v.immature! Haha!

barmybunting · 04/12/2013 20:07

Bex, that is fabulous news! What a brilliant idea, and how exciting! Gretna Green is a lovely place, and NYE will be just perfect! Fingers crossed you get the slot you want. Where abouts in Gretna are you planning to get married?

You say it's top secret in RL, does anyone know? Will it just be you two going? What an exciting way to to get married Smile.

And please, talk away about weddings. I love any chat about weddings! Mine was 3 years ago and I still miss planning it.

I really hope that NYE turns out to be your BFP as well. What a day that will be!

barmybunting · 04/12/2013 20:17

Ladies, I have given in - my cat has made me decide I have to POAS tomorrow morning... For the last two nights, he has clung to me like a limpet, sitting on me in any form possible. Normally he lives on his radiator bed and couldn't give a toss where I am come the time the heating goes on.

I read years ago about pets being able to tell when you are pregnant well before we can, this popped into my head when my cat deposited himself on my foot in desperation at my lap being covered with a book.

He has now glued himself to me again this evening.

POAS time in the morning I reckon, it's all the cat's fault!

OP posts:
Missvaughan85 · 04/12/2013 20:27

I'm dying for a pee, only pee'd what an hour ago. Drank half a cup of tea!!! Argh!!! I wanna poas!! I have it there, it's staring at me!!!

babyspice2501 · 04/12/2013 20:29

Congratulations bex! What a wonderful and lovely idea!

Barmy good luck for tomorrow! Fx all the way! Cant wait to hear the result!

Laravh I googled SMEP and sounds like a plan to me! Im definatly trying this out! Thank you!

mssleepyhead · 04/12/2013 20:32

Hello Lara - be warned - the flashing smileys can go on for days! We dtd every other day when it's flashing and then every day when it's solid. I normally get ov symptoms the day before the solid smiley too, so we dtd that night and the two solid days. Otherwise this month we'd have dtd for 11 days in a row and I fear DH would have run out of steam when it really mattered!

Thanks for the pineapple advice today, December bus!

babyspice2501 · 04/12/2013 20:41

missvaughan we are all holding your hand what ever you decide to do. :)
