Thanks for the details sleepy and pannetonne.....I like to hear stories without mammoth dtd sessions, especially when we didn't manage it as much as I would have liked this month!! Grin

Morning Smile , I can't believe how lucky this bus is. The BFPs are just rolling in. Sorry I just posted my BFP news yesterday without giving details. It was just so crazy. Anyway here they all are now...
Tried to dtd eod but wasn't successful but did manage to on CD11, 15, 17 and 21. I have no idea when I ov so added CD21 for luck (my chem was on a late dtd). AF was due on the 8th but couldn't face testing on only manged to build up the courage on the 13th. Tested with a Superdrug and got a faint line in 3min but got darker (and it is still there-crazy to check again, I know). The only "symptoms" I've had this week can all be explained for other reasons but they are as follows... dizziness, moody, tender breasts, indigestion & acid reflux (this is the one that gave it away as I never have this problem). My stomach is now feeling tight, as if I have a 6 pack under the fat Wink . Well I hope this provides useful to others out there. I will hang around for a little longer as I will only be doing a digi later in the week (when I have been paid). Goog luck to you all.

Spinning it is totally possible to get a BFP without a dtdathon. My last pregnancy we only dtd on cd 5 and 12.

BexBoo12 · 14/12/2013 10:00

Spinning I know how you feel there...we've only managed to dtd on cd 11 and 12...despite my bunny boiler randy-ness. I'm so peeved with dp, how dare he be ill and be tired from work. He has a job to do. Luckily, both of those days I got a positive opk and a fertility rating of 10/10 on ovia so I'm hoping hoping that we've done enough...

Nestinggirl · 14/12/2013 10:25

Oh girlies I am so nervouse . Today I am planning to invest in clear blue pregnancy kit instead of 89p from home bargain to get defo answer. Phew

BunnyBaby · 14/12/2013 10:27

All sounds very exciting, want lots more jingle bfps!

After yesterdays's light bfp, i tested again this morning and much darker so definitely feeling a lot more positive (and ms nausea kicking in) so may go and put my name on the Aug 2014 list :-)

sazzlehopes · 14/12/2013 10:28

Nesting good luck and let us know - I"m totally doing a stats update this afternoon with all this amazing news!

Crazylady thanks for the details, again like spinning i'm always happy to see a bfp with a regular amount of dtd action!

BecauseIsaidS0 · 14/12/2013 10:55

It isn't over until AF shows up, but I think I'm out. Not a terribly bad thing - we'll take a break over the festive period, enjoy champers, and then in February see if our (very delayed) honeymoon does its magic. After that...a visit to the GP I guess. But I'm not going to stress I'm not going to stress I'm not going to stress Xmas Blush

LH1981 · 14/12/2013 11:09

Wow this bus is proving super lucky!! Congrats to all the new BFPs!

because, hope AF doesn't arrive but glad you're feeling relaxed about it.

I'm hoping this is my month. Going to test again on Sunday. Feeling very queasy (do have a head cold so maybe that's it) but just feel weird. Have cramps but feel different to usual and my cat won't leave me alone. Last night he actually sat on my lap which he never does. Here's hoping!

BexBoo12 · 14/12/2013 11:13

LH animals have a great sense don't they...they just know something is wrong/different etc. My dog is the same when something happens here so fx for you!!

BexBoo12 · 14/12/2013 11:28

LH how many dpo are you?

Lucy where are you? Any news this morning on the digi??

LH1981 · 14/12/2013 11:40

bex not sure as haven't used any opks. But reckon I must ovulate later as my cycle is longer (roughly 37 days). On cd35 today so expecting AF on Monday.
Seeing as tests have all been BFN (or so faint it's prob in my head) I'm not expecting a BFP but just feel odd this month. Don't have the usual pre-AF sore boobs. But the tww seems to love throwing us curve-balls doesn't it?! X

lucyfluff · 14/12/2013 12:00

Hey bex, sorry to be a party pooper but Im not using the digi until next saturday!!! By then I should be five weeks (fingers crossed) and DH will get a lovely suprise!!

Im deffo feeling symptoms today, just did the shopping at Tesco and felt very light headed :( hope they dont get too bad!!!

LH - good luck testing on Monday I will be reading these updates!!!

...and everyone else too! lets make this bus the record for festive bfps Grin Grin Grin

mama31 · 14/12/2013 12:07

Hey ladies. I'm having a bit of a random moment and needing a realistic slap please.....af came lightly on wed, very very light flow but slightly more than spotting (wore a liner only) so I was pleased with full flow instead of usual 4 days of spotting then full flow!!!! But on thurs it reduced to spotting and same on Friday (only visible when checking cervix, one spot on liner over those 2 days).

Today I have nothing, cervix is so high I can't reach it, boobs are absolutely aching heavy and a size bigger (usually go down when af arrives) and I have very sore lower back but have had no af cramps over the last 4 days or prior!

Don't know what to think!!! Hate when I stupidly get my hopes up but this is all very strange. Also did an opk just then and it was almost positive! :/ have no hpts in the house and don't even want to waste money on them as think I'm deluding myself here! Someone slap me please......

lucyfluff · 14/12/2013 12:14

Mama....ok....lets think about this. It COULD be implantation as its so different to normal AF or it COULD be a light AF for this month. I think you should get a frer just incase. Also opks turn positive when preggers!!!!!!

Can you pop out and get one?? oh I so hope you are x

mama31 · 14/12/2013 12:20

Lucy! You were meant to slap me..... haha!!! I know im silently hoping for implantation....as it came on cd22....but my cycles are short so could be af....but would be timing for implantation or 1 day earlier af! but I had 27 day cycle last cycle and 24 before that so 22 is quite short....as 23 was my shortest ever!

Really don't want to get my hopes up! But woke up really warm last night and was restless sleeping last 3 nights, I usually sleep like a log!

Hmmm.....maybe I should get a test.....have a bit of a busy day....but will see what I can do.....must not get my hopes up though.....

lucyfluff · 14/12/2013 12:28

Sorry I didnt want to slap you lol! I know how much you want this. The dates sound unusual even for your short cycles dont they....

I would try and grab a test and use it tmrw with fmu. At least you wil deffo know Grin good luck!!!!!!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 14/12/2013 12:29

Oh mama!!! Grin
Trying not to get excited as I know you are being cautious but EEK!! Grin

My first 'positive' was on an OPK stick Smile

LH1981 · 14/12/2013 12:31

Mama!!! Fingers crossed for you. Some women get their periods through pregnancy too so it would make sense it was lighter. Don't want to give false hope but I'd def test just in case! X

mama31 · 14/12/2013 12:34

Thanks Lucy, writer, LH....might wait it out until Monday and see what happens! I'm prob just being silly! Will keep you posed though! X

MundayCakes85 · 14/12/2013 12:38

Hey Mama I'll slap you if you slap me! Had a bleed Thurs and Fri- light flow but now it's disappeared! Also temp dropped to just above the cover line on those 2 days but now shot up by 0.3 degrees!
Don't you just love how much hope we have every month?! Bloody bodies trick us each month Smile
Go get a hpt and let us know how it goes x
Ps: Lucy v happy for your BFP looking forward to the Digi results x

mama31 · 14/12/2013 12:43

Deal Munday!!!! Haha! This is sooooo annoying!!! Wish I could just accept that it was a very light af!! But it's so unusual for me :/

spinningirl10 · 14/12/2013 12:51

Oh Mama and Munday....you both need to get a test and poas!! I know you don't want to get your hopes up but I'll keep fingers crossed xx

spinningirl10 · 14/12/2013 12:57

Oh and I'm not really a cat person bit if they can sense a bfp I think I may have to get one!! Wink

Writerwannabe83 · 14/12/2013 12:58

Get a Two Pack mama - that way you can test today and Monday Grin
