Haha! English! That's nice there's a chance of twins for you! I just couldn't afford not to return to work! and would be a dilemma with childcare costs but I suppose when things like that happen it somehow works out! I'd be more than happy with one little one though :) just wish it would hurry up and happen!!!!

KittyVonCatsington · 15/02/2014 17:10

i did the smep this month but because i ovulated really early we got caught out by the +opk, so ended up dtd 5 nights in a row, which made me worry about the quality of the sperm, but clearly it didn't matter, and ahem, neither did oral sex before

What a great paragraph to read-thanks Bump!!!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 15/02/2014 17:38

I think twins would push most people financially but people do it. I suppose you just manage don't you. It's the sleep that would ruin me! Lol!

mama31 · 15/02/2014 19:16

Oh yes and the sleep! It would be a killer alright!!!! I love my sleep zzzzz....

Treaclepie19 · 15/02/2014 19:24

Jumping in :p I'd love twins (I say that now). I'm not planning on going back to work anyway.

My half sisters are twins so theres a chance.

BumpNGrind · 15/02/2014 19:56

Mama, it's great to hear you've had a similar experience this month, let's hope it's the same outcome and you get your bfp as well. Did you enjoy the reiki? Did she identify any blockages that needed to be cleared? I took the agnus castus for about 8 days, stopping as soon as I got a positive opk. I had heard it may help to lengthen my cycles.

I usually have a 24 day cycle and ovulate around cd 14, but this month I had a really positive opk on cd 9 and I think I ovulated the next day, so 4 days earlier.

First test tonight, a girly house warming party with my closest friends. There's usually lots of wine involved whenever we meet so don't know how I'm going to play this one.

RhiBee29 · 15/02/2014 20:03

Just accidentally on purpose bought some ic tests...hope I can resist poas too early!

I'm trying to sell my house to make room for one baby can't even think about twins!

mama31 · 15/02/2014 21:04

Bump she only did ten mins of reiki at the end of reflexology. She didn't say anything about blockages and was quite positive about things for me! Hope she's right! She said "I don't think you will need me for long!" hate getting my hopes up but feeling so positive about everything this cycle! I don't know why, it's just like DH and I are really believing this could be the one! Hope it is!!!

I also have short cycles, but lots of spotting from about 8dpo which is a pain! So hoping the AC works on that! Planning to continue taking it until I get bfp as I've read lots about it and reccomendations seem to be keep taking it! I'll lower the dose after ovulation though just in case!

This is cd12 for me and got pos opk this morning. Usually don't get it til cd13 so a bit earlier not as early as you though! Be nice if got earlier again...or better got my bfp!!!

Good luck tonight with the no drinking hope you have plenty excuses at the ready! Thanks for all your deets! It's good to know what worked for people and feels good knowing things are on the same path for me!

mama31 · 15/02/2014 21:05

Rhi....once they are in your house you will be an early poas addict.....like me!!!!!!

sazzlehopes · 15/02/2014 21:38

Congrats on the 2 recent bfp's! Very good news.

Mama I love your poas obsession it's what drew me into mn and made me brave enough to post! Ahh I thought he's a woman as mad about the 2ww as me. Infact he's lots if women really Grin good luck with all the dtd over the next few days!

Also wanted to back up the koala plan a little, several people I told I NUDP after dtd also admitted they did that and got a bfp too so I think still worth trying!

Good luck the next people to poas, and watching/lurking and cheering you all on!

sazzlehopes · 15/02/2014 21:39

Here's not he's?! Damn autocorrect!!

Treaclepie19 · 15/02/2014 21:40

I'm really fed up :(
Still in limbo land and been googling. Obviously now convinced that my ic's aren't working :p After reading about people who get bfn on ic and bfp on frer.

I don't have any frer's in the house though only clear blue.

RhiBee29 · 15/02/2014 21:53

treacle i'd probably be that nutter running through the 24hr Tesco in my pj's clutching several frer with a demented look in my eye if I was I your shoes!

What's koala plan? I've done SMEP and cycling...have I missed a trick?

Treaclepie19 · 15/02/2014 21:57

Haha i feel like doing that!!!
Ordered some online but reckon i will just use my clear blue tomorrow or mon. ARGGHHH!

Koala plan is manuka honey, nudp (naked upside down pedalling) and orgasm after dh.
Should note we have followed the koala plan this month! :)

RhiBee29 · 15/02/2014 22:19

Flip...koala is a whole new level! Hope it's worked for you, keep us updated!

Treaclepie19 · 15/02/2014 22:56

I will do... Getting frustrated now though :(

mama31 · 15/02/2014 23:10

Thanks saz!!! And thankyou for the reminder about koala! I haven't stuck to it...but haven't ruled it out! there has been some NUDP and O after DH but not always! I did ditch the manuka though this cycle as have a lot of other news things going on! Hope you are well lovely! Great to hear from you xx

missmrsmummy · 16/02/2014 01:03

You've just reminded me about manuka - I read in The Times that five times more manuka honey is sold than is produced! Starting to wonder what my £3.99 Aldi stuff is made of Hmm

Zermatt · 16/02/2014 06:36

Aw congrats to all the BFPs, lovely news one and all :)

8 dpo for me today and cycle day 23. I usually have a 29 or 30 day cycle, but last months was only 27, so wondering whether AF due on Fri or Sun. No symptoms really, my temp went up quite a bit today and have bit of ovary twinges but that's all. How's everyone else feeling?

Treaclepie19 · 16/02/2014 08:01

Ugh... Cd30, 19/20dpo, bfn on clear blue and 10miu ic.

Where is af??? (should note last month was only 24 day cycle and my ovulation indicated this would be the same).

EnglishGirlAbroad · 16/02/2014 08:37

Oh no treacle... Maybe you should try to see the doctor if it carries on much longer. Are you sure you ovulated when you think??

EnglishGirlAbroad · 16/02/2014 08:43

11 dpo today and temp went up again... From 36.48 to 36.61
Hoping this is a good thing.

On another note... I'm watching "I didn't know I was pregnant" What the Actual Fuck! The woman just had a baby on the toilet of a theme park loo! She thought she was having a poo!!

Treaclepie19 · 16/02/2014 09:09

English I'm going off the second peak fertility day on my opk.

My cycles are never 30 days :( will go to the doctor in the week if still no af.

Haha things like that seem so surreal!

RhiBee29 · 16/02/2014 09:11

OMG I have seen that episode, how do they not know?

treacle how frustrating, perhaps it's a shy little one?

Treaclepie19 · 16/02/2014 09:15

I really hope so Rhi
My best friend just announced on facebook that thet're having a baby. I already knew but still a kick in the teeth.
