Another thread for a very chatty bus!!

Yay Barmy! Sounds positive!!! Knew it!!

Treacle - you're not out yet. Get a bit more DTD in!! Remember you don't ovulate the day of the peak, but 24-36 hours later! Get some swimmers in there!!

Missmrs - yes, I think that right.

On another note, do you ever wonder what any one else on this bus looks like in real life?!

11 pages. 11 PAGES! I hope you are all sitting there feeling proud of yourself. I go out Friday evening and all Saturday and I have 11 FLIPPIN' PAGES to read through!

To sum up though, congrats to those with good news and so sorry for those who have not had a good outcome.

I'm a 'lifer' (on this bus until pretty much the end) but starting OPKs today. BFP/AF seems a world away though.

English I assume everyone looks just like me and lives just like me so I picture people picking up tests from my local boots and I get confused when people say they live in a village.

congrats choccy and barmy so nice to see familiar names get bfps! english I do all the time!

Barmy great news!

Barmy I bloody knew it!! Congratufrikkinlations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over the bloody moon!!!

Off to get my frers and my make up .....

English I've wondered that. I imagine you all to be utterly beautiful

Dh has finally gone out.

And I don't know how, but I'm sitting looking at 4 sticks with bfps on them!!
Two superdrug tests and a poundland one with faint lines, and a cb digi with 'pregnant 1-2' on it. How the hell did that happen?? I had honestly thought we were off for tests soon due to my dodgy cycles. I'm shaking.

I don't even know if I should tell DH today. He has a massive exam on Tuesday which I am scared of distracting him from. I meant to wait until then so I didn't tell him before his exam. No way I'll manage that though!

Barmy that's official!!! Hooray for a Line of bfps in a row! Fantastic news!! Now go and tell dh before you burst!!!

English I also imagine you are utterly drop dead gorgeous... But everything time i see your posts now, a flash of boobs, goes through my mind! Haha!

Just boobs mrs ? After hearing of Englishs job the imagry i get is altogether different!!

Yey barmy how lovely to have a row of bfps!!

Congratulations!!!

kate I have 7 miles to go before i hit a shop that sells sticks to piss on. Probably a good thing.

Ooh congrats and good luck choccy

Yeah congratulations barmy

choccy hurry to boots and get dipping!

I've done another superdrug test this morning and there's still 2 lines

We stayed in last night and had pizza and DH had beer and I had cranberry and raspberry to drink very strange to not wake up with a hangover on a Sunday

Thank you . Fingers crossed this one stays sticky! I have never managed to get a digi to show up with 'pregnant' before in the previous 2 cycles though, so I am quietly hopeful that this one may be it.

Brilliant to see another line wine!

Choccy any updates? Fingers crossed!

And because it is one of my favourite parts of the thread - bfp stats from me.

(I am trying to while away time waiting for DH to get home so I can tell him!)

DC1, have been off the pill for 9 months, very irregular cycles since then, ttc for 6 months/cycle 4.

DTD on cd4/9/12/15/17/20/23/25/26/28/32/34/39
Flashing smileys on cd 12(what on earth, as didn't ov then?) and cd 22,23 & 24. Fixed smiley (positive opk) on cd25.

BFPs appeared today, 15dpo/cd40 but I hadn't tested before today so I don't know if it would have shown up earlier.

I tried a few different things this cycle -

• reflexology on cd1, cd9 and cd27 (after ov). My cycles have been very irregular since coming off the month so I was seeing the reflexologist to help with this.
• manuka honey every day from cd1 to cd 26 (after ovulation)
• The old 'naked upside down cycling' on cd23 and cd25 (ov day)

Symptoms:

• Spotting from 7dpo to 11dpo. Mainly brown, but some red which looked like af starting. No spotting since 11dpo.
• Breasts swollen and sore from around 7dpo. Nipples constantly erect.
• Just felt a bit 'funny' since around 10dpo, a bit dizzy and nauseous at points. But I sometimes get this pre af too.
• Teary and moodier than usual. Put this down to hormones still reacting to coming off the pill.
• Period usually appears around 12-15dpo, it hadn't today, hence the test.
• As stupid as it sounds, being unable to sleep properly from about 11dpo which may or may not be linked to bfp. I have been waking up every hour for most of the night, and up at 6am wide awake. This is not normal for me!

Sorry, long post.

Congratulations Barmy!!! And thanks for the detailed stats.

Never heard of manuka honey for conception. Is it worth trying? Anyone else take it?

Thanks English, dtd this morning so thats cd9, 10, 11, 13 and 17. Solid smiley today cd17.
TMI alert, used preseed today. Much better haha. I suffer from a lot of vaginal pain during sex so anything to help is appreciated.

Bigggg congrats Barmy!!!

I've never heard of the manuka honey either. You do eat it, rather than…. insert it, right? That could get sticky.

Congrats Barmy! Great news!

Yeah Manuka was part of the koala plan (from Dec or January bus I think)

You deffo eat it haha...I can't stand honey so its not on my may plan of DTD requirements

X

barmy massive congrats. sooo happy for you

Congratulations Barmy - absolutely brilliant news!!!
That's a lot of sex you had

Posy that made me laugh! I can only imagine DH's face had I started inserting it with a great big spoon prior to DTD!! You definately eat it, I ate it on toast. I'm not quite sure what it's mean to do but figured it was worth a go as I love honey! I do now have 5 more jars in the kitchen though in case we were in for the long haul!

Writer haha, I was concerned about DH being away for a week over ov time so made sure we took every opportunity! I am slightly embarrassed to say we conceived when my parents were staying though ! They were here for a week so we had to get on with it!

Maybe there presence was your good luck charm??

You'll have to remember that if you ever choose to have a second child, you'll have to invite them to come and stay with you again....

Haha, I hope that isn't what it takes for us. My parents would find it odd to be invited over to stay, they only live 5 miles away!

I know this has been asked before but when does everyone count ov as? Day of fixed smiley? Day after? Day after that?
