Forgot to say big congratulations to Punky!!!!! Grin

WakeyTryingAgain · 02/01/2014 09:12

Congratulations punky!!
Think DP and I only DTD once when it would of been useful. This months been difficult as I haven't checked my cm or used ov sticks as I was doing when we were trying before....so I guess this month we are technically 'just shagging' but I have my opk's ordered for next month and a load of internet cheapy Hpts.

I will be upset it AF comes though, plus I have endo so I should know by tomorrow if she's coming!!!

Morning ladies and Happy New YearGrin

Punky....Congratulations!!!

Bex.....Congratulations on your wedding day, you look beautifulGrin

Moffit.....yes I feel just like you do!! Really fed up Hmm

I'm Just in the 2ww, dp said to tell him at ov time and we only dtd once 2 days before!! We were away for New Year in a lovely hotel and although I tried on numerous occasions to dtd dp just wasn't able to complete the job Hmm

MrsF2510 · 02/01/2014 09:48

Amazing news Punky - fantastic!

Yes Moffit - I did go in this month quite disheartened. Due to work we only DTD on cd4, cd 8 and cd12 due to work. Despite that am still symptom spotting all over the place!! On New year started spotting and convinced it was AF, I felt crap and almost started downing the baileys but then I spotted all day yest with no proper AF - that has NEVER happened before. I can't read too much into it though as technically last month was my first real period (as was on the pill for 11 years) so I don't actually know what normal is.

Hopemummi that does seem a bit early unless you are using frer. I'm only on the cheapies! But it does depend when you OV compared to the length of your cycle. I would suggest waiting until closer to 2 weeks - not called the 2ww for nothing! ;)

Tigsy · 02/01/2014 10:19

Congratulations Punky!

Hopemummi · 02/01/2014 10:33

Hi Mrs, I used a Boots cheapie, I know about 2 weeks but some advice says you could get positive 4 days after ov. Maybe just super hopeful I don't af before the weekend otherwise no chance for implantation

Choccywoccydodah · 02/01/2014 10:56

Hopemummi chances are you haven't implanted yet Grin. I'd if you ov'd on Saturday, you're only 5dpo, some people get a bfp around 10dpo at the earliest. For those that get it at 8dpo I'd say is rare, and probably have their ov dates not too accurate.

Hi Doctor Grin I wouldn't worry about the whole wait a month thing due to you being quite early on.
I've read about the whole being more fertile thing, but I've also read conflicting things saying there's no proof so I don't know! Saying that I caught 2 months in a row so I'm feeling very hopeful for this month Grin. Good luck to you!! Xx

Fivemoreminutesmummy · 02/01/2014 11:46

Hi, I posted near the beginning of the thread saying I had my coil removed on 11th December. I was hoping I'd get back to normal quickly (and I know it's not long really) but I've only had irregular spotting so no idea where I am in my cycle.
Congratulations to those with BFP and good luck to everyone still trying/ waiting

rockin20s · 02/01/2014 12:46

Congrats punky

I am dying to test! I think I o'd on dec 26 but I haven't temped or opk this month so not sure.
My husband's birthday is on the 4th which would make me 10dpo I'm very tempted to test that day.

I'm trying not to symptom spot but I felt a little crampy yesterday and I woke up this morning very hungry.....I know its too early to have symptoms but I can't help it

mama31 · 02/01/2014 12:53

Hi ladies! Happy New Year!!

Well af just arrived for me a whole week early, so that's a shitty record breaker being a 19day cycle!!!! :/ I was sick though with a viral/sinus thing so I'm hoping that it's to do with that and the meds I took for it!!!!
On a positive note, I can remain on the Jan bus as I will now be due next af at end of Jan!

New stats: Mama31 TTC2 #Cycle fekin 8!!!

Excuse my language! Couldn't think of anything. Appropriate to put!!!!

mama31 · 02/01/2014 12:55

Oh sorry and also next af/bfp due around 27th Jan!

Apolologies for my slight ranting, I'm just in shock at the redic 19 day cycle!

Can I also say English and Imaginary so so sorry to see you here! Really hope for a sticky bfp for you both asap! X

Cybercat · 02/01/2014 13:05

Congrats Punky! Im really pleased for you.

Im hating this 2 week wait!

mum2kiss · 02/01/2014 13:32

Starting to get twitchy here! Af due in 3 days...very tempted to buy some hpts...but if I have them in the house I'll only be tempted to test!

LH1981 · 02/01/2014 13:34

Oh mama that's so annoying for you!! We need to meet in the middle somewhere...you at Cd19 and me still waiting for AF at cd53! Angry

BumpNGrind · 02/01/2014 13:37

I'm 10dpo and just POAS with an internet cheapie. BFN!! I'm gutted.

I knew it was too early because if it was successful this month, chances are implantation would have been likely yesterday, but I still did it and now feel really disappointed.

AF is due on the 8th. In the meantime, can anyone throw me a shred of hope? Do you know of anyone who got a bfn on 10dpo but went on to get a bfp?

broodylicious · 02/01/2014 13:39

Hi mum2kiss, my stat buddy :) well, stupidly, I just decided to test and not surprisingly I got a bfn.... I forgot about this impatient side of me that showed its ugly head when ttc dc1! I think I will wait now til Monday to test again because of my last two cycles being different lengths (31d then 34d) and when I tested for ovulation, it was two days later than i had expected.... so maybe I'm not totally out of the January race to bfp Wink but we have a break in the Peak District booked for a few weeks so plenty of time to dtd!! (DD dependent, lol!) xxx

Sleepisf0rwimps · 02/01/2014 13:40

Bump... I got a BFN 13dpo! Went out and had a drink to drown my sorrows. Next morning, threw up. Tested and got a BFP! He is now 17 months. Smile There is still hope. Fx for you.

Choccywoccydodah · 02/01/2014 13:45

Bump last 2 months I've got bfps on 12dpo Grin

Mama, so sorry the witch came early :( have you been taking b6 this month? I think vjones stopped taking it in the end and she got her bfp Smile

broodylicious · 02/01/2014 13:47

Oh my word. So since I just posted that last post, my test seems to have developed a bit more and I am sure there's a faint line there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did post literally five minutes after I'd poas so maybe this cheapie asda one took a bit longer than it said?!

DoctorDonnaNoble · 02/01/2014 13:48

It's stressing over BFNs that made me decide in November to only test when I was significantly late. That very month I got my BFP. I'm going with that again now. This whole thing is enough of an emotional roller coaster without adding further downs (I know it works for others - but I have a history of depression).

ReginaFelange22 · 02/01/2014 13:49

I'm jumping on this bus!!

TTC #1 cycle 3 BFP due on 23rd Jan!

Fingers crossed ladies xx
Congrats to those of you with BFP already!!

Sleepisf0rwimps · 02/01/2014 13:56

Ooo broody. Do you have another test? ;)

broodylicious · 02/01/2014 14:00

Doc, that's so true. It's so easy to get caught up in it all and you can end up actually making yourself ill - mentally and physically, ime. I got so upset every month (for seven months) when we were ttc dc1 and I got a bfn. Then I said to dh that we had one last month to try or I'd buy another horse..... And it was like I'd taken the pressure off myself and fell pregnant that month. So alas, no horse Hmm but a gorgeous dd Grin both as messy, smelly and high maintenance as each other though!!

broodylicious · 02/01/2014 14:03

Eeek!!! Looked at the test again and there's such an obvious line there!!! Need dh to come home nooowwww!!

I will test again in the morning just to be sure. I think I did ten tests with dd ;)

mama31 · 02/01/2014 14:06

LH how bloody frustrating for you!!!! Cd53!!!! My word that is very annoying!!!

Choccy I didn't even take a single vitamin this month (bad of me I know but I really was forgetting about ttc for Christmas as didn't want the stress)! But seems that I do require conception vits at the very least as never had a cycle this short!
