MrsKoala · 08/01/2014 12:11

Hi All, Sorry i haven;t been engaging much just had a nightmare - recently moved in everything broken, on phone to companies complaining all day, away for xmas etc.

But just wanted to say congratulations to all the BFP and commiserations to all those that didn't get one this month. I remember last time it took us 8 months and every month i was heartbroken.

Anyway, by some mad stroke of fortune, thru the chaos and only shagging 3 times in the last month i got a BFP today ! Hurrah!

Good luck everyone. :)

MundayCakes85 · 08/01/2014 12:25

Congratulations MrsKoala and all the other BFPs today, think we'll need a stats update soon! Really happy for you all.
Mama you crack me up with your cervix prodding I'm not even completely sure where mine is! How's the chocolate intake today?
Cd28 and ff still hasn't detected ovulation Sad hopefully it was over Xmas when I forgot to temp/chart. Bfn yesterday, but not too worried as no AF yet.

Zara1984 · 08/01/2014 12:44

Congrats to all the BFPs!!

AF arrived a week late today Hmm so I'm off the bus!!! On to February! Not fussed as it was only our first month trying Smile

wondercat07 · 08/01/2014 12:49

Thanks everyone

Congrats cyber, gemz and Mrskoala!!! That's wonderful news! Hoping for sticky beans all round!

Sorry to all who've got AF this month, and good luck for next cycle. Wishing you all a 2014 baby xxx

mama31 · 08/01/2014 12:58

Congrats mrskoala!! :)

Munday I know....i have issues!!!! :/ and also just purchased 3 cream eggs....2 are not for me.....lets see how long that lasts!!!

LH1981 · 08/01/2014 13:03

Aw Mama, the witch is such a cow! Hope if AF arrives full flow she'll bugger off quickly and let you get started with lucky number 8. Hugs!
Yes, there is a silly old wives tale that says if you suddenly crave sweet things you're having as girl (sugar and spice and all things nice...)

I craved spicy food and salt all through both my last pregnancies and had 2 boys, so maybe there's something in it?

Congrats to all the bfps!

Not testing again until 23rd Jan, when I would expect next AF to show up. Unless of course she shows her very unwelcome face before then.

To be honest, I think this is our last month ttc.
Reason being, that we have a holiday planned for next Xmas in Australia to visit my sister for a month, so can't have a baby too close to that (I'm flying by myself with 2 kids already). We already have so many family birthdays around Oct-Dec (12 of them) so would be impractical (I know a minor silly reason) but most of all because my oldest ds is turning 7 and my youngest ds is turning 6 so I don't want any bigger an age gap.

We agreed we'd try for 6 months and see what happens. Nothing so far so if nothing by end of Jan, then we are going to count our - already many - blessings.
xx

ThoraNomiki · 08/01/2014 13:03

Hi can I join? I'm not very good company but this TTC journey is lonely Sad even my husband doesn't get it! We have an appt. for the end of this months to start fertility investigations.

TTC #2 Month 13 AF due soon (I think judging by Cervical changes but I'm probably wrong)

CD 55 so I'm in limbo with some others except this is normal for me. Negative HPT's 25/12 31/12 and 07/01.

I'll try not to post my misery too often. Smile
Congratulations to those who have January BFP's so far and Wine here's to many more to come!!

LH1981 · 08/01/2014 13:08

Welcome aboard Thora - and welcome to limbo land with me and Ginger. Sucks doesn't it?!

Sounds like you've been at this game a while - hope you get some answers when you have your appt. Did you have problems conceiving #1?

Post as often as you want - we're a lovely, supportive group of ladies and we all know what that bfp means to us, and how crap a bfn can be.

xx

mama31 · 08/01/2014 13:09

Thanks LH! Just waiting for full flow was certain it would be this morning but nope...just more dragging itself in!!!

I have a boy too and didn't crave any sweet stuff, all savoury things! How funny!

I just ate my soup at an offensive pace so I could get stuck in to this creme egg....what is the matter with me?!!!! defo af giving me severe choc cravings! She best hurry up before I'm the size of a house! A few cramps would put me off my food.....think I need that right now! :/

mama31 · 08/01/2014 13:11

And LH! When you say you will stop trying....will you go back on birth control or just forget about it?!!

LH1981 · 08/01/2014 13:18

Chocolate is a woman's prerogative! And I'd brave indigestion for a cream egg any day Grin

Ugh, you're still waiting - what a pain!

wrt ttc, I think dh will have the snip! His dad and brother have both had it done. So we've got to be sure that we're done with the baby thing!
Also, last night ds#2 woke in the night, frightened by some foxes making noise outside and we both found it such a shock to the system! We were like, omg can we seriously do this sleep-deprevation thing again lol - of course if we are successful this month we'll be over the moon. But if not, perhaps it was just meant to be iykwim.
xx

rockin20s · 08/01/2014 13:48

My IC line got darker again this morning but I have af cramps too I'm 13dpo and af due tomorrow.

Oh I hope it isn't af and just some ligaments stretching,I'm freaking out

mama31 · 08/01/2014 13:49

LH I'm not even usually a choc fan, love my crisps and savoury snacks but have been stuffing my face with chocs for days!!! Af better arrive today before I turn in to a bus.....but hey maybe I could be the next bus ;)

Awh really! DH is also getting the snip once we finally get our little bundle! As will def be my last!

mama31 · 08/01/2014 13:51

I see what you mean though, leaving it to fate is sometimes best and if not meant to be I think your right counting your blessings!

DH doesn't have any children of his own so we Definately want one more.....ive actually never seen him so happy since we started ttc....apart from the monthly disappointment! maybe it's all the sex! Haha! No really though I can see how much he wants it and he is so so ready for a little baby I just wish it to happen soon!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 08/01/2014 13:57

Congratulations Koala!! Today's been a busy day for those lovely BFPs! Yay!!

mama31 · 08/01/2014 14:07

Rockin I think cramps is quite normal at the start, others seem to have had cramps thinking af on the way but got a bfp! So hopefully you will be fine! Know what you mean though I'm sure it's just worry worry worry from you get your bfp!

LH1981 · 08/01/2014 14:13

mama I can't wait for it to happen for you - siblings are so amazing to watch together, and will be so lovely for your dh!

My dh is less keen for a baby, so it's all my doing lol! He's come around to the idea and will be really pleased if it happens, but he wouldn't be crushed if we stuck at two. It might be because he's one of two boys and I'm one of three girls that's the difference? I'm used to a dynamic of three, plus I'd adore a girl (I know you can't choose and I'll be chuffed regardless), that might be the reason I feel we're not done.

DH is also very happy with all the dtd!! Normally he's a once a day kind of guy, and I'd be happy with once a fortnight week, so this suits him perfectly! Wink. It's a turn of the tables when I have to beg him, rather than the other way round teehee!

mum2kiss · 08/01/2014 14:19

Congrats to all the bfps! Too many to remember!

mama31 · 08/01/2014 14:29

Awh thanks LH! Sounds like you have a lovely little family :) I would also be in my element if I had a girl! Would def not be disappointed with another boy though, they are amazing but as we will only have one it would be amazing to have one of each! But really do not mind at all!!!

Yes I was a "only at the wkend" type of girl, as always tired from work whereas DH would dtd anytime of day! How many times he can get it!!! Lol so he absolutely loves ovulation time of the month! Think he counts down the days til it's that time again ;) oooooh I'm exhausted even thinking about it! Haha!!!!

Sleepisf0rwimps · 08/01/2014 14:41

I think I may have just got the lightest BFP in Christendom today.

Being the anxious person I am, the knicker checking shall commence. It really was the faintest line on an ic though so still not sure.

Urgh, if I'm not worrying about one thing, it's another! :)

mama31 · 08/01/2014 14:44

Sleep wow! How many dpo are you?? Can you check with another test?! Possible congrats!!! :)

mama31 · 08/01/2014 14:44

Still no full flow.....aaaarrrrrggghhhhh!!!!

Choccywoccydodah · 08/01/2014 14:47

Woohoo congrats on all the bfps!!!!
Such a fab first week of jan!!!

Mama I would have normally had the egg first!!! Sod the soup!! However, not into choc still, which is still good.

I'm 10dpo for those that asked (maybe 11). I know it's uber early but I thought if IC was showing, the superdrug one would too. Must sit on hands now til Friday.
Also, white knickers are fab for crotch watch. No more brown as such but a very thin skid amount of something yellowy brown on them.

Must dash, dh making fried rice for late lunch with the leftover ham from Xmas GrinGrin
Then it's a chilled afternoon with a film or something.
Currently ds is fast asleep in his buggy from his morning at nursery so hoping we can eat before he wakes up lol!
