Interesting statistics, for those who are concerned they haven't fallen pg quickly:
15-25% chance of becoming pregnant in each ovulatory cycle: But you need to do everything right and you shouldn't have any medical issues and his sperm count should be fine.
40% of couples will conceive during the first three months
70% of couples will conceive during the first six months.
Up to 85% of couples will conceive within the first year of TTC.

It's so hard when people around you get pg so quick, but try not to let it get you down. 3 of my very close friends are all pg and due within weeks of each, we all started ttc at the same time and i'm the only one still trying. It upsets me at times but we have to remain positive.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the shiny new bus barmy! :)
I'm on board, with a creme egg...
6/7dpo and counting down the days til I can test!!!

pebble82 · 03/02/2014 18:13

I'm not sure I had a positive Opk either. Too difficult to understand. Do you temp? I've found it helpful to determine the OV did happen. If I'd relied on opk I'd have been a bit unsure.

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 18:13

Hi ladies

Oh a new thread, thought it had gone quiet!

Sorry english can you add me pls, still no AF!

Ttc#1, cycle 15, 11dpo!! Woop woop!

Oh & I got the job!!!

Hopefully ill get more good news this week, mild cramping, very light brown spotting for 2 days (pls pls pls be IB)

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 18:14

Pass the creme eggs pls treacle

EnglishGirlAbroad · 03/02/2014 18:16

Congrats Ginger Fingers crossed for some more good news soon!!
Will update stats again later in the week!

pebble82 · 03/02/2014 18:18

Go ginger. Who needs interview prep when you're awesome :-)

SnowBells · 03/02/2014 18:26

pebble82 I will try to temp next cycle. Too late this cycle, and when I did do it, it was all over the place as I was doing some freelance work, and got little sleep.

Before TTC, I used to have LOADS of EWCM, had period/ovulation pain to the point of having to take tablets. It's just soooooooo typical that now that we're TTC, there is suddenly nothing going on with my body.

No EWCM. No pains - I think I am imagining various pains as it often turns out I'm just sitting wrong or have a bad tummy!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 18:34

Lol pebble

littlehelp I'm gonna test tomorrow, will be 13 days since opk test, 11?12? Days dpo, can't wait any longer!!! I've been very restrained!

I'd swap the job for bfp in a heartbeat.

Treaclepie19 · 03/02/2014 18:35

Congrats Ginger!
Smile
Anyone else?

Arrrghhh I can't wait to test... 6/7dpo... Come on bfp!!!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 18:36

pebble sorry u may have said but have you tried cbfm? With my irregular cycles and dh being away a lot I find it brilliant as tells me when I'm approaching ov, not just when it's here.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 03/02/2014 18:42

I'm desperate to poas! Doesn't help that i've peed so many times today obviously that in its self means im pg. Roll on friday!!

Jessica78 · 03/02/2014 18:51

Hi guys congrats to the BFPs - Retro - exciting! - just checking in cd26 11dpo... Eeek - my app says AF due tomorrow, but I think Thursday - when to test???? I have one ic left & one clear blue digi!

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 18:52

I'm poas tomorrow jessica with IC, fancy joining me?

Gingerbreadlady1 · 03/02/2014 18:54

I'm cd31, 11/12 dpo, solidarity in poas together!

pebble82 · 03/02/2014 18:55

ginger, I don't use cbfm but I don't really have a problem knowing roughly when I ov. Monitor cm and temp so that confirms it. We do smep plan so don't miss it. That's why I'm getting annoyed with AF. Seemed such a sure thing last week. Ah well...staying positive.

barmybunting · 03/02/2014 19:31

Thanks for the stats English.

Feeling for those of you in the 2ww just now, it sucks! Hopefully we'll see more good news in the form of bfps soon Smile . A close friend has just text me her 12 week scan pic, she's due the day I would have been had first chem preg turned sticky in Dec. Although a tad sad, I'm actually really pleased to see it as it's nice to see the good news from her.

But I still want to stamp my feet and shout "I want one too!" Smile .

ginger congratulations on the job!

What time are you using your ic Ginger - I will be at about 6.15 am if I do it - seriously what time in the morning is that????? X

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 19:37

Jessica and Ginger. There's a small chance I may be peering on yet another stick tomorrow, can I join you? might not be awake at 6:15

I have an hilarious stash! Need to start working my way through it Grin.

RetroHippy · 03/02/2014 19:38

*peeing. Though there will most likely be some peering involved too.

missmrsmummy · 03/02/2014 19:45

Aw, my poor DH is feeling the pressure. We started DTD and he couldn't 'finish'.

I feel like there is just too much pressure on us to do it at the right time!

Any advice?! How do we TTC without TTC?!

broodysnoopstie · 03/02/2014 20:02

I POAS at 13dpo abs got a bfn think I'm probably out but AF is due on 6th so I'm clinging onto my seat anyway!
