I guess I might tomorrow. Basically, we're skint until payday, January is filled with sodding birthdays and for some reason my work pays me my December's pay on about 19th december. So I have only one test left and I want it to count as really can't buy more til Friday.

Also, although the last two months have been 25 day cycles, previous to that I was stable at 27 days. Of I'm reverting to form then I might possibly be due Tuesday not today!

Anyway, I'm scared of a bfn and I guess the waiting is my way of avoiding it!

Aisha18 · 26/01/2014 21:16

Thanks everyone! I told DH about 1 minute after I did the test, even though we were at his parents and had to whisper in a different language so it stayed a secret! I couldn't wait for a more romantic/private moment to tell him.

Good luck bump...I was also so scared to poas, but at some point it will be a BFP so I hope this month is yours!

bellaboo88 · 26/01/2014 23:24

Congrats Aisha!

We need to know all the details!! Do, koala plan etc!

Was praying for spotting today, had a tiny bit of left hand side acheyness.

Boobs don't hurt like last month tho. I'd rather they did, give me something to obsess over!

Sorry you're still in limbo ginger :-( what are you doing I.e temping, poking etc?

bumpbangbump · 27/01/2014 06:39

Well I couldn't wait another couple of day so I'm currently looking at 2 lines on my frer... and the three minutes wait isn't even up!!!!!

BFP Grin

Thanks for being there ladies you have kept me a nice combo of sane and crazy!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 27/01/2014 07:00

Brilliant news!!! Congratulations!!!! Grin x x x

LittleMissSunshine33 · 27/01/2014 07:02

Yay congratulations!! What a lovely start to the week! Stats?!! What dpo are you?

bumpbangbump · 27/01/2014 07:13

Thanks girls.

DTD cd7,9,10,12,14 followed the koala plan, at least the cycling part, for the last 3 of those.

Can't believe I've been so lucky on cycle 2. I didn't temp or po opks so I don't know what day po I am. CD 27 today and I've had 25 day cycles for 2 months!

I really hope we see a couple more positives before the month is out. Come on ladies poas!!!

spinningirl10 · 27/01/2014 07:49

Yay Congratulations bump and AishaGrin

Writer, your shopping trip sounds fab, sounds like you've had a good spend! So exciting, not long nowGrin

misstiggiwinkle · 27/01/2014 07:53

That's it. I'm officially late! No tests in the house and promised DH I wouldn't poas until we were both at home tonight so no doubt the test I pick up at lunchtime will be burning a red hot hole in my handbag all day. AGHHHHGH I don't know if I can wait!

Did anyone else get 'the fear' as soon as they knew they were late? I can't decide if I'm super excited or just bloody terrified even though we have been ttc and I know that all I want is a bfp - too many years trying not to I assume, now it might actually be happening. A bundle of emotions todaySmile

misstiggiwinkle · 27/01/2014 07:54

And congratulations to all the bfp's!

bellaboo88 · 27/01/2014 07:55

Omg congratulations!!!

Bus is officially picking up speed again, 2bfps in 2 days!!!

Who's testing next? X

Writerwannabe83 · 27/01/2014 08:07

tiggiwinkle - how exciting!!! I remember when I bought my first pregnancy test I ran into the shop's toilet straight away and did it there and then. It wasn't easy or glamorous being cramped in a scummy cubicle but there's no way I could hold off once the test was purchased and in my hands!!!! Grin

Just PO the S at lunch and tell your husband it was an accident Grin I don't know the finer details of this plan or how you came too pee on it by accident but I'm sure between us we can think of something Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 27/01/2014 08:13

Congrats Bump!!! Lovely news Grin
Tiggy - peen on said stick at lunch, if BFP hide in hand bag. Tell DH you'd rather pee in privacy and take pee soaked stick from bag. Or buy a two pack! Simple! Poas! Poas! Wink

Well this cycle really is fucked up! Had some weird brown spotting on Thursday/Friday which I was hoping was implantation. Although ff hadn't picked up ov as my temps have been very weird.
Then I just assumed it was a long drawn out prelude to AF.
Now ff has given me an ov date of Friday according to my temps!! DTD very late Wednesday and last night. Bloody typical it happened when DH was out the country!! And that was CD 25 so it looks like this is gonna be a long cycle and I'm now only 3dpo!
Looks like I am officially off to the feb bus! Hopefully won't see any of you there (in the nicest possible way)! And will keep popping bag for the last few BFPs!! Good luck ladies!! Grin

Big congrats Bump and Aisha! Fabulous news!!!!

Writer what an amazing day you must have had shopping!!! I'm sure you were exhausted after but had a huge smile on your face knowing that you are now super organised for your little man! Lovely! So exciting!

Writerwannabe83 · 27/01/2014 08:40

mama - it was exhausting!! But last night I put all the bedding on his Crib and and his mattress, attached his mobiles, put all his clothes in his drawers and wardrobe and there's no denying a baby is on it's way now. I also ordered myself a Maternity Nursing chair last night too which DH is collecting on Wednesday. I'm lying in bed now looking across at the Crib and I can't believe there's going to be a little baby in there soon.

8 weeks today and I'll be on the ward, excited but nervous!!
EEK!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 27/01/2014 08:54

English - it does sound very fucked up. It must feel very frustrating, I hope things settle down and you get your BFP on the next Bus. They say Sperm (especially boy sperm I think) can live for up to 5 days in the womb so you are not out the running!! Although I didn't track my ovulation, going by my dating scans and the DTD sessions me and DH had it appears I conceived on a Friday from a Wednesday night session Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 27/01/2014 09:05

It's so frustrating! I real roller coaster of fist accepting I hadn't ovulated, then thinking I had and ff hadn't picked it up and now thinking it has but I missed it! Bugger! Roll on the next 10days or so!
I've never wished my life away so much! Lol!
Your story give me hope that there may have been some swimmers lurking! Thanks! Smile
