Oooh how exciting.....I love being on here for the bfp's!!Grin

According to my apps I am due to ov on Tuesday.....I am using ov tests as well. I was thinking if we dtd everyday from Sunday to Wednesday we would give ourselves the best chance.....does this sound right to you ladies? How many days before ov do you try and dtd? Obviously we might dtd at other times but these are from a ttc point of view!! Grin

Catface78 · 05/12/2013 11:59

Just realised I never answered the DPO question. I'm 16 DPO today. I think the magic happened at a Depeche Mode concert as I was ovulating that day and DTD just before we left the house.

Fx for you Barmy and for you Miss Vaughan. Faint lines are promising!

spinning we did it every other day when the cbfm said I was in high fertility and then every day on the two days it showed and egg.

God can't stop symptom spotting ;have had my boobs aching on and off but not really sore yet , nausea ( burby one ,sorry tmi) is there but with my illness I have that sometime anyway . Now I've gotten this odd feeling all along my lower back not localised like my ovulation feeling which I had earlier when I ovulated but this general achy pressure feeling and period is only due in a week ?! Has anyone else had that when early pregnant ?

ThisIsMeNow · 05/12/2013 12:47

Hello, is my ticket still valid? Smile
Was on last months bus but got kicked off and just couldn't face this one straight away (no offence! Grin)
Wouldn't mind a bit of advice though? Af is due today (I think). Came off cerazette in aug and this is cycle 3 of ttc. Periods have been 27 days, 25 and 26 so far this month. Not charting or temping.
So basically poas and just can't tell Hmm. There's a line, came up in the 15 mins but it's shadowy and I can't tell if it's pink or not. So back to the knicker checking and waiting! Could just be my cycle messing about but checked my cervix this am and it had practically hidden it was that high ShockSmile so fingers crossed that's a good sign.
Oh and I'm sure I could 'see' a line on any test, even if DP had peed on it! Grin so I can't take that for sure until its a great big pink line.

spinningirl10 · 05/12/2013 13:21

Welcome back thisismenow Grin

SSounds promising!! I think you need to pee on another stick! Do you have a different brand? Fx for you!

ThisIsMeNow · 05/12/2013 13:29

Hi spinning! Grin
It was a 2 pack from asda so I'll pee on the 2nd tomorrow. If that ones any clearer I may invest in a digi (fx I need to do that!!)

Polkadot1 · 05/12/2013 13:36

OMG ....BFP !!! On 2x IC and just done CB. Says 2-3 weeks!

BeigeBuffet · 05/12/2013 13:37

This may sound strange but could clumsiness be a symptom? We're not properly trying this month, was going to start next month, but neither have we been too careful. I've had sore boobs and no AF symptoms but I have been unbelievably clumsy and really tired in the evenings.

barmybunting · 05/12/2013 13:40

You lot are very busy chatting this morning!!

Thisisme and MissV, that sounds very promising!! Are you both waiting until tomorrow morn to test again?

Spinning, thanks for that. I think the next one is going to have to be a frer. I think I'm on the way out though, feeling very crampy since this morning. I don't know whether to do another test tomorrow morn or just leave it until later over the weekend. Hate this wait!

Polka, congratulations!! How exciting :-)! When does that make you due?

Beige, it sounds like a symptom to me! Fingers crossed

ThisIsMeNow · 05/12/2013 13:43

Congrats polka!! Thanks

Barmy yes I'm waiting til tomorrow. Figure if it's a Bfp it'll still be Bfp tomorrow but clearer. Had terrible Af cramps yesterday so convinced I was out and (tmi) keep checking as I'm convinced it's started but it's just watery clear discharge? Nice!!

Polkadot1 · 05/12/2013 13:44

Thanks barmy- Aug 9th I think- day 16 PO now

LittleOwlie · 05/12/2013 13:44

Wow!!! Congratulations PolkaDot!!! Fab news!

So today, we've got 3 possible faint positives and one definite BFP! This is a super lucky bus!

Fingers crossed for more definite lines tomorrow! Oh and more BFPs all round. Grin

Hi Beige, I'm not too sure about clumsiness...I think feeling faint dizzy and wobbly are potential signs. So I guess it could be...good luck.

LittleOwlie · 05/12/2013 13:59

Hi Nordicmom, Sorry, I missed your message in all the excitement.

I don't really know if the odd feeling in your lower back is a symptom or not...it could be implantation possibly.

All I do know is that it's ridiculously hard not to symptom spot every tiny little thing. I give my DP frequent updates of my 'new' symptoms and it's almost a running joke now, as they come and go and I believe for sure I am and then I'm not PG.

Hope you get good news in a week. Smile

BexBoo12 · 05/12/2013 14:00

Wow congrats polkadot!!! Over the moon for you!! X

Missvaughan85 · 05/12/2013 14:07

Keep checking this mornings test, there's a very faint line I'm sure!!! Going to test again in the morning too, but feeling a bit cramps since 12 so who knows!!! Exciting next 24hrs !!!

ThisIsMeNow · 05/12/2013 14:08

Fx missv!

spinningirl10 · 05/12/2013 14:15

Polka Congratulations to you :)

Catface Thank you....I just bought some cb ov tests. Came home and pee'd on an ic from amazon and it has a darkish line but I think too early for ov!! I'm going to pee on a cb one next time I need to pee and see what that says!! Will dtd tonight just in case! So hard timing it right!!

MissV Eeek!! I'm excited for you!! :)

Rubyshoe · 05/12/2013 14:16

Hello all and thanks for the new thread barmy.

According to Ff I O'd on Monday but according to my pain threshold it was more like Tuesday so who knows! Anyway just finished a 6 days straight of DTD so feel we have done our bit this month! What will be will be...... We could do no more! Feel like I need to lie down ion the back seat with a lavender compress on my forehead but think this bus is too crowded so will settle for sitting with Holly and Bex and the bags of booze instead..... have brought travel mugs of coffee to add the Disaronno to! Welcome to all new ticket holders and lets get those BFPs coming in! Bring on the Black Forest gateau and morning sickness!

akachan · 05/12/2013 14:21

So exciting! Congratulations to Polka and tentative congratulations to MissV!

Nordicmom · 05/12/2013 14:24

Congrats to All with bfp s today :)! I just went and bought a bunch of tests and will do them from sun onwards unless something happens before . This is now driving me crazy and only the first month . Earlier we've conceived the first month every time but then had multiple miscarriages so I think I'm even more paranoid than normally :(...

Catface78 · 05/12/2013 14:27

Congrats Polka! I'm 16 DPO too. Twinnies! :)

PunkyPod · 05/12/2013 14:45

Congrats Polka! And exciting stuff about the faint lines. Hope they come out clear tomorrow morning :)

Although I'm out of Dec it's nice reading such positive news. I'm really getting my hopes up for Jan, I'll be testing around 2nd Jan so can I hang out here for a while? Smile

lucyfluff · 05/12/2013 14:51

BexBoo12 · 05/12/2013 15:03
