All ttc or expecting their BFPs welcome. Fingers crossed for a fantastically fertile February!

[MrsF2510]

For those who have jumped off the January bus. May need assistance for the wonderfully organised ladies who are so brilliant at keeping the stats up to date!

So to start the engine MrsF2510 ttc #1 cycle 2 BFP due 1st Feb x

Haha yes Retro

Did you insert one straight after DTD? I'm thinking I should do it whilst still lying down to defy gravity! If I run to the bathroom I might lose some!

Also did you put it in upside down so the 'pool' is shallower? I've heard that works.

Retro - you didn't have it in while DTD did you? I thought you insert straight after.

Good positivity Kitty!!

As pebble said - thermometer must be to 2 decimal points. Not your bog standard one from boots. Always take at the same time. I set my alarm for 7 and then go back to sleep if it's the weekend. Look on the fertility friend website, there's other peoples graphs there that are good for getting an idea of what you're likely to see.

Thanks for the advice Pebble and English! Really helpful to know!

I think I'll wait this cycle out and (hopefully not) but one then.

Haha, Englishgirl, no. That was a previous experiment due to being on the 'heavy flow' bit if my period whilst on holiday this summer!

missmrs, we DTD, then I lay on my back with my knees up for a bit, then ran to the bathroom whilst clenching, KOALA'd for a few seconds to suck any back up, then popped it in! Only used it the right way up, if it doesn't work I might try upside down next cycle. DH has no idea the lengths I've gone to this month !

Agree Retro DH doesn't need to know everything! Got to let him think it's his super sperm that did it ;-) would be so emasculating for him to think a mini bin bag helped!

Thanks for making me chuckle whilst marking Year 12 Mock exams!

bella I got my.first faint bfp at 7am 12dpo with fmu.

I got my clear positive on a early response test at 2pm 13dpo

mum were you testing before 12dpo? I'm 10/11dpo now and still BFN.clutching at straws and being impatient!

No pebble I didnt test before 12dpo

and it took a good 5 mins for those faint.positives to show.up!

Thx mum....I'm now tempted to crack open my pound shop poas...10miu ic not showing anything. Because I have a short lp I thought I'd know by now, I'm impatient :-(

13dpo tomorrow. Poorly tummy still (tmi sorry!).

Fed up of googling for ours on end, first proper cycles turning me into a crazy woman!!!

bella I feel your madness don't worry!

I thought 10miu is meant to be mega sensitive. I'm using them too. Will keep testing each day like a woman posessed!

You're welcome Kitty!

I have informed him that soft cups exist and he made it clear that they are a step too far. What he doesn't know is that I have bought a pack, tried one last night and am fully intending to pop one in after every bd session! Wish there was a [evil cackle] emoticon!

He actually thought buying manuka honey or having reflexology was unnecessary so no wonder he is freaked out by the cups, tee hee he!

Bella I feel your pain! My poundshop tests are long cracked open. 12dpo today like you, feeling rubbish and still bfn!

Lets start an 11/12 dpo club!! I've got the 10mu internet cheapies, and so far a big fat nuffin.

I was going to wait till 10dpo but I've actually been testing since day 6 this is my punishment for being impatient!

Got a pulling feeling in my uterus now, but no spots or boob pain this month which is unusual and quite a welcome change!

Thank you for ur reply mummy :)

Came back from the Reflexology appointment feeling totally relaxed! I didn't say straight away I was TTC but then she asked where I was in my cycle and the fact I could tell her exactly, she guessed! She said she asked as that would determine how hard she pressed on my ankles as it isn't a good idea to do it too hard if pregnant. I felt tingly all over during the session and she said she worked extra hard on my ovaries! Come on body - do me proud this month!!!!

Jo + retro, deffo 11/12 club!

Pebble...I'm googling like crazy but it seems 10miu might not be that great after all....apparently they're more likely to false/negative therefore 20miu more stable. I've got a pound shop ready in waiting but it doesn't say its miu!?

Its really getting to me today. Saving up my pee, 45min countdown to my next poas! God give me a signal or my period pleeasee!! Cd29.

I'm quite please with that. Holding onto the dream of it being a false negative - better than a definite negative ;) We dtd a lot at the right times so not much more I could have done. I'll be really pissed off it was all in vain. As much as I love dtd with my DP I was a bit regimental about it this month so want to have completed my mission.

I'm sticking to fmu. Don't want to waste more tests on weak pee. Plus I'm going to enjoy my first night of being able to drink after Dry January - pee will be diluted. No more abstaining until definite BFP.

Any joy bellaboo?

Hi all, sounds like there are a few potential bfps's on here. The 2ww kills me! We'll I enjoyed some drinks at the wedding and had a fantastic time. Still only 10 dpo, yawn.......

glad u had fun at the wedding. I bet it was in your head the whole time! not long t go for u now..

So so so sad but I did a test yesterday just in case, obviously it was neg. and yes, despite having a grand ol' time & boogeying away like a travolta wannabe it's was always in my mind! My feet are still sore lol!

How long for you smorgasborden?

its a bit confusing as I had a positive opk on Thurs, less bold yesterday but then bold again today. I know we should tonight but he's out and I have t b at work for quarter t seven tomorrow morning! I know in my head DTD tomorrow prob won't b too late but we have put in so much effort it would b a shame t mess up now! but theoretically bfp due around the fourteenth fifteenth!
