Congrats english! What a great surprise! Our first bfp.

Thanks so much for updating the stats also Smile

Kittyrose1 · 20/12/2013 15:41

Wow English that's fab news! Thanks for the reassurance - think I'm just a bit touchy being on! Coming to the end of it now though.
choccy massive hugs to you, I'm glad you sound positive for next month, must just not be the right egg for you just yet :) glad you got your good shopping started. Got to do ours Monday (not for Christmas Day but Boxing Day and day after)
What does ic stand for? I'm going to buy a months worth of OPKs this time as I started it too late last month, my periods are quite irregular with a difference of 8 days from the shortest to the longest which makes working out my ov date a mare!

Choccywoccydodah · 20/12/2013 16:03

Kitty IC means internet cheapies (the dip sticks).
I've just ordered a load more IC pg tests and ov tests. Have 10 ov tests but I tend to test twice a day at least!

Kittyrose1 · 20/12/2013 16:26

Ah thanks choccy, where do you all tend to order from? Amaz

Kittyrose1 · 20/12/2013 16:26

^ Amazon?

Choccywoccydodah · 20/12/2013 17:00

I order mine off ebay but lots do order from amazon too Smile
Think mine were £3.49 for 30 ov tests or £2.99 for 20. Preg tests were £2.25 for 20 Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 20/12/2013 17:02

I've received my baby aspirin today, fingers crossed it works this month!

MundayCakes85 · 20/12/2013 17:16

Slap required please- cd9 and temp hasn't dropped yet from last month. So POAS and obviously negative Blush
Please add me to the back of the bus:
MundayCakes ttc 1, cycle 6, bfp due 12th Jan.
Will be Sod's law it happens this month as I have my SIL's wedding end of Sept.
Choccy sounds like you're ready for next week. I spent the morning putting the roof on my gingerbread house, now have nowhere to store it!!
Off to catch up on the last few pages x

Choccywoccydodah · 20/12/2013 18:15

Munday, cd9 and you tested? How come that early?

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/12/2013 18:34

Evening all. I've been awol for a couple of months but am back and STILL not preggers.

Jumping aboard, rather rudely as not read back at all.

Nottalotta. Ttc #1 C 7 i think. Bfp due 3rd jan.

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/12/2013 18:52

Read back a little. Waves at mama cycle 7 together!

Sorry to hear your news choccy fx for you this time.

mum2kiss · 20/12/2013 21:39

so I googled the blood tinged ewcm thing and lots of people saying its caused by an oestrogen surge and is a sign of being extra fertile that day! dp doesnt get here until tomorrow and it looks like I may be O-ing earlier than expected!!!!

MundayCakes85 · 20/12/2013 21:47

Choccy I was trying to convince myself that AF was actually implantation bleeding as my temp hasn't actually dropped from last month!! Obviously ttc has driven me bonkers.
Just having a moment of "why hasn't it happened for us yet?" But I'm sure I'll get over it. Not holding out hope for Jan as DH is in a different part of the country over the fertile period Sad
Hope everyone's having a fun-filled festive evening x

ImaginaryHat · 20/12/2013 23:30

Evening all.

Mama sorry to hear about your food, definitely get out and re-buy before the crazies start bulk buying enough for a month because the supermarket will be shut for 1 day!

Welcome back Notta, sorry you've not had any luck so far but Jan will be our month!

I need to re-stock on the ic opks and preg test front. Im sure the people at home health have me on their crazy list the amount Ive ordered and gone through these past few months!

Munday sorry you're feeling blue, I know the 'why hasn't it happened yet' feeling well and it sucks. Hope you feel better soon Flowers

Nordicmom · 21/12/2013 01:12

Hi!
Can I join? December bus was my first one and haven't been on the threads since got my af . Well ov is here soon and have just started testing and hoping it's not as late as last month since that makes it right on Christmas when we're staying the night with my parents with no privacy . Other days would work . Anyway managed to get all obsessed last time already on the first go for years so that's not a good sign since this will probably take a long time if it'll ever happen ...
Anyhow please add me to the stats:
Nordicmom ttc 3 cycle 2 BFP due 8.1.?

Kittyrose1 · 21/12/2013 08:22

Morning! Welcome to the newbies on the bus, it's getting busier here by the day let's hope we are all in line for our new year BFPs :)
This morning I have ordered ic OPKs and a basal thermometer off of eBay (thanks choccy), so much for re "relaxed" approach lol! Thing with me is once my made is set on something, I go at it with all my effort and I can be quite inpatient so there we go, I have succumbed! My excuse is my irregular periods mean I have no clue wen I ov each month as I have very little cm either...
AF is seems to be finishing today!

Choccywoccydodah · 21/12/2013 10:01

Good on you kitty Grin
I normally start testing around 2pm on cd8, then 10am and 5pm from day 12 when they start getting darker for me. I usually get a positive on cd14, but due to this chemical lasting a long time I'm not sure when I'll ov this month! So it's twice a day from today I think (cd8).
What are we all doing today?

We live in town so I'm going to take ds to see Santa at the church if he's there. He's normally scared but apparently at his Christmas party yesterday he was first in the queue!

Then I'm having my hair coloured and cut at 2.30, then a friends 40th birthday party tonight Grin

ThingsThatGoHumpInTheNight · 21/12/2013 10:23

Morning all Grin choccy your days sounds fab! Currently laid in bed with pillow bum prop in place whilst dh cooks breakfast. It's our wedding anniversary today Grin

Re OPKs do you generally use them twice a day? Have bought some and intend to use this month. Think maybe I ov slightly later than average as so far cycles off the pill have been 32-33 days and we had A LOT of sex last month except cd16-20 as DH was away. Advice on how to use them most appreciated

Kt1991 · 21/12/2013 10:31

Welcome to more newbies! when im on a computer later will add you on the list! Can't believe how busy this bus is already!
Enjoy your day/ evening choccy Smile that's good that your DS wasn't scared of FC. It always feels nice gettung your hair done and being able to actually go out and show it off!
We're off to do the dreaded food shop this morning then seeing some family we won't see over Xmas later and dinner at my DMs. Then last min presents to wrap up!

OP posts:
Kt1991 · 21/12/2013 10:32

Xposts with things ! Happy anniversary :) do you have any plans for it?

OP posts:
Choccywoccydodah · 21/12/2013 10:50

Happy anniversary things (tries to erase the vision of you in bed with a bum prop Wink) Have a great day!!
Re opks, see my previous post, that's what I do Smile

Have fun kitty, try not to stress too much with the shopping!!
My dh hasn't bought a SINGLE present yet, he's planning to do it Monday, madness!!

pebble82 · 21/12/2013 11:08

Ah, the big Christmas dash is getting everyone. Not sure about you but my OH doesn't seem to do anything. I've bought his whole family gifts and all he's planning to do is turn up. He shows as much interest in Christmas as he does in baby making. He'll go along with it but draws the line at any preparation. Grr.

Anyway, must stop being so grouchy, tis the season to be jolly.

One thing that is getting me a bit down is that I'm taking my temp everyday and although I would swear I ovulated on Mon/Tues (16/17th I had lots of ewcm and OV pains) I haven't seen any rise in temp. Anyone else had this happen? I'm driving myself mad on Google reading things that say my body is just mimicking OV and actually I'll never release an egg :-(

ThingsThatGoHumpInTheNight · 21/12/2013 11:38

We're going sledging then for a meal, organized by DH himself no less! Which is a massive surprise as like you pebble my DH is not one for planning-I've have done all the Xmas shopping, arranging and wrapping for both sides this year! Bil has just invited himself over for the afternoon so better get up and dressed

ThingsThatGoHumpInTheNight · 21/12/2013 11:39

Sorry, meant to say, have a great day with Christmas prep if thats what you're doing, and thanks for the advice

Meezermum · 21/12/2013 12:57

Hi, I'm new here and feeling a bit lost :s

OH and I will be trying for the first time in Jan. My period is due Jan 31st so I think that makes my stats TTC #1 cycle 1, BFP due Jan 31st.

Have I done that right?!
