Hi ladies, hope everyone had a good Christmas. Completely agree with that irrational tantrummy feeling. My friends are starting to announce their second pregnancies and I have to be reminded daily by DH that we've only just started trying so I shouldn't be upset! Funny how getting pregnant seems like it will happen if a boy sneezes near you when you're at school, then the minute you actually want to it seems terribly difficult and complicated!

Been getting worried as no positive on OPK and this cycle's ticking by...but got a definite positive today, hooray! CD23 - I do have long cycles and had coil out last month so don't know if that's knocked it back a bit too. Just relieved to actually be ovulating - if the test is correct of course.

Chocky it was me asking about sugar puff wee. I've been very strict lately, no sweets so I can't blame them for it lol! X

Gingerpanther27 · 30/12/2013 21:28

choccy the nearest hospital is about 50 ish miles away. She said there was no room to fit me in next week otherwise she would. Whereas it's very frustrating my next period would be due that week so it's not very long in the grand scheme of things.

Princesscrystalx · 30/12/2013 21:51

jessica i know exactly how you feel as my best friend and i where pregnant at the same time, although i misscarried sadly in sept and she is now 6 months pregnant, i feel i should be still aswell. Theyre normal feelings so dont feel like your nasty! I really hope you get your bfp this month!! X

Evening to even more newbies! Work gets in the way of been able to go on mums net lol. Will try to Add the newbies tomorrow I if I get a chance as the mac is really my DH's and he likes to hog it lol. Not long till the bus leaves and we get lots of BFPS!
I'm wondering if I'm ovulating slightly later than I thought as I've had more cramps today? But had these on and off all week when I predicted I was ovulating. Why does TTC have to be so confusing! I have no idea how many DPO or what CD I am!

Thank you Princesscrystalx xxx

Well AF hasn't made an early appearance yet so going to poas in the morning. I have my free at the ready and a "pot to piss in" so i'm ready to go. Feel like af may be coming but don't really remember what very early pregnancy was like as I wasn't a total mentalist then Anyone else testing in the morning?

bumpbangbump · 30/12/2013 23:15

*frer not free

Lime19 · 30/12/2013 23:31

Ladies, I can't believe it but I got a bfp on a frer! 4 months of trying, pcos! No real symptoms to note. Just did another two (another frer and a clear blue digi) both positive at this time of night. Really strong positive too. Digi says 1 to 2 weeks. Af not due for another few days. Does this seem real to you? I can't believe it!!! I also did a tesco digi with super dilute urine after a big glass of water and it was not pregnant!!! I can't sleep. I keep feeling cramps or maybe just in my head now I know. I feel sick but I think it's because I'm nervous it might not be true.

BumpNGrind · 30/12/2013 23:40

Congratulations Lime, that's lovely news, post a pic, I love looking at happy news. The bus isn't even out of the depo and we have the standard set for the month. Let's hope it's the start of many more bfp.

How many days po are you?

bumpbangbump · 30/12/2013 23:43

Sounds like a positive to me lime. Congratulations!!

MrsF2510 · 30/12/2013 23:43

Awww fantastic Lime!!! Very exciting! X

pebble82 · 31/12/2013 00:00

Woo hoo lime excellent news :-)

mum2kiss · 31/12/2013 00:07

Congrats lime!

AF is due sunday...no idea when I will test if she doesnt show but I wont test before...will have to just wait it out!

cottonwool4brains · 31/12/2013 00:22

So after 10 cycles and 2 chemical pregnancies I have given in and tried both temping and opks. How anyone makes any sense of temping I don't know, my temperatures are all over the shop (maybe I'm just weird!). The opks have been fine, populated yesterday at cycle day 16, two days later than I have been assuming for my other cycles. So my luteal phase is 12 days long, I think this is ok? Does a shorter lateral phase make you more prone to chemical pregnancies?

cottonwool4brains · 31/12/2013 00:23

Ha ha ovulated not populated:-)

Blithereens · 31/12/2013 01:22

Yay Lime!!!

pebble82 · 31/12/2013 01:40

Cottonwool I have stopped temping for that reason. Only on cycle 1 but been off the pill since October. Always getting different readings. Tested it out and got 3 different readings within 10 mins. I'm blaming the thermometer but a bit annoyed as it's meant to be a proper basal baby one from amazon. Relying on ewcm and slight OV pains. I think I ovulated on cd17 and last month got AF 12 days after when I think I ovulated. That's if you count the 12 days from the day after OV to the day before AF (that's what I read on mumsnet advice).

PunkyPod · 31/12/2013 03:03

Congratulations Lime!!!!! Fab news and lovely to get the first BFP of the bus!! Grin

I think AF is due on 1st or 2nd. Would be so tempting to test but we've come away to PILs and I deliberately didn't pack any tests (difficult to do!). Anyway going home on 1st so wouldn't be able to test til 2nd anyway. Stay away AF!!!' Not welcome on this bus!!!

Dd has woken up. I patted her for about 45 mins and she kept waking up so DP is now giving her a cuddle. Hence the 3am posting

Hopemummi · 31/12/2013 03:18

Excited for Lime! Congratulations to you at this early hour!
I'm on day 23 & cbfm went straight from low to peak so we Dtd lots ... but af due 1/1/14! Think i may have found out why we've been unsuccessful if I'm ejecting fertilised eggs!?!? Confused

Sleepisf0rwimps · 31/12/2013 06:35

Great news Lime! You are all so well behaved with waiting to poas. I'm a nightmare. Though I then tell myself off because if i did get a bfp I would be worrying about a chemical pregnancy for a while. The body is cruel!

DoctorDonnaNoble · 31/12/2013 06:36

After spending loads of money in the first 3 months of TTC I vowed only to test when I was definitely late. We also relaxed about all the planning and paranoia - managed to get pregnant. Hoping for the same again soon. Several friends are pregnant at the moment and it's hard but having a MC is just one of those things. I've been surprised to discover just how many people have had them.

LaceyLee · 31/12/2013 06:45

Congrats lime!

Pebble and cottonwool, I have been temping just to see what was going on post mc. You would expect to get three different readings in fact cos as you wake up or move around your bbt will rise. So just go with the first one as soon as u wake up, if you can be bothered, not sure how long I will stick at it for

Not even a whiff of a line! Early to test but I think I'm out. New stats will depend when the bitch arrives but I think it will be around 27th-30th jan… will only test again if late. Doubt I'll need to though.
