Massive congrats barmy get so emotional reading about BFPs!!
treaclepie I had the same problem as you and am so glad I discovered preseed! TMI from me too, but it kinda turns me on just having it in... Blush think I'll use it even when I'm not TTC in future lol. Another thing I'd recommend for the sore muff is multi-gyn a few times a week. They say don't use it right after DtD but a few hours after is fine.

Huge congrats Barmy!! Amazing news. Fx for a happy, health pg for you

Fx Choccy I'm hoping and praying that this is it for you.

SaRaRaRaRa · 09/03/2014 16:57

Fab news barmy, congrats!

Fx choccy

Treaclepie19 · 09/03/2014 17:02

Thanks flirty :) haha loving all these preseed images - whizzing round the bed.

Ugh just been to BIL and SIL's new house to see their "fertility and conception" book. Dunno why it made me feel odd. Now hoping she isn't on here... Something I only just thought of...

sazzlehopes · 09/03/2014 17:03

Choccy's bean please stay put!
Good luck testing tomorrow choccy - hope you get a decent line on something else, but 9dpo is so early...so a few more days and hopefully it'll be nice and dark and show up on lots of different brands! Will you tell the doc on monday? x

Barmy, thanks all ok, 2 weeks to go for the scan. I'm nervous for some reason, seems like so long to wait to see if everything is ok, but I've (thankfully) never had any mcs so no reason for me to be scanned early. I'm HUGE this time round though - I did not show like this the first time, dc1 must have ruined nay stomach muscles!!
And my OH reacted in the same way despite it taking an age...I think it's never as real for them so early on as it it is for us!

PolytheneGirl · 09/03/2014 17:13

Can anyone tell me how much they pay for their Clearblue Advanced digital OPKs? I'm thinking of splashing out next cycle. I've just seen 20 for £37 on amazon. Is this any good? And is that all I need? I'm sure I've seen before units that cost about £80 that you buy test strips for. I'm getting a bit confused.

missmrsmummy · 09/03/2014 17:15

Treacle wtf is in this book?! I'm intrigued!

Choccywoccydodah · 09/03/2014 17:28

Saz ill phone the professors office Tuesday. I will be 28 days then (when I'm meant to test), however I ov'd late. Scan will be booked in for 2 weeks tomorrow, scary! Hope I get that far.
Oooo how far are you now, everything going good? X

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/03/2014 17:32

Ok I've got to get some of these amazon things you're all peeing on! What's 10mlu mean? How long would 30 last the usual poas addict? Shall I get 60?

MrsExtraOrdinary · 09/03/2014 17:36

There's 100 for 8.95 that sounds like a very cheap deal. Are they ok?

Choccywoccydodah · 09/03/2014 17:42

MrsExtra you can get them on eBay too. I normally buy them in 25s I think. It's free delivery and they work out to be about 18p each I think. If you buy more, you get them cheaper.
I think I've gone through about 40 tests in 6 cycles Smile

OP posts:
Choccywoccydodah · 09/03/2014 17:44

Make that 20s here

10miu means you can test early. The lower the miu number, the more sensitive they are Smile

OP posts:
Choccywoccydodah · 09/03/2014 17:47

Me again, they sell 100 for £6.99 here

KittyVonChoccysington here! Gone for just one day and I have 5 missed pages! I'll use a couple of different posts to catch up...

allthequeens-hope you are still reading. Wanted to give you a virtual hug. I was where you are now, three weeks ago. Cry as much as you need to-think about it as much as you need to-talk about it as much as you need to. It is so hard to feel so euphoric one day and so distraught the next. If there is anything we can do, just ask. Will be thinking of you Thanks

lucyfluff · 09/03/2014 18:35

Choccy Smile I'm keeping everything crossed for you sweetie....good luck testing tmrw xx

KittyVonCatsington · 09/03/2014 18:39

WineandChoccy and barmy - you give me hope for a fellow late ovulator like me! Grin Keep testing and keep us updated on the darker lines (would love pics as well if you can-feed my addiction!)

Choccy - I clearly tested positive on some tests and not at all on others-but a line is a line is a line! Will be here right with you as you keep testing and the line will get darker-the fire breathing permits dragons say so Smile

KittyVonCatsington · 09/03/2014 18:41

Penis dragons, Penis dragons-not permits dragons FGS!!!!!!!!!

kurama · 09/03/2014 19:03

anyone due to poas fri/sat?! could do with some company lol. was so lonely last night and didnt want to let go of dh at all today. he commented on me always hand holding/hugging/touching his arm etc today. this is not normal pre af behaviour.... begging the 10 mins of stabby pain yest to be implantation pain. but think im grasping at straws as have had no bleeding from it. Grin

missmrsmummy · 09/03/2014 19:10

Hi kitty how are you doing at the mo?

LemonDrizzler · 09/03/2014 19:18

Because fire breathing permits dragons would just be ridiculous! Lol!

PolytheneGirl · 09/03/2014 19:19

Kurama. Not everyone gets implantation bleeding. I didn't with my DS. So there is still a lot of hope! Chin up x

CagedMango · 09/03/2014 19:22

Nosaint - I've started taking manuka honey. It's supposed to help with increasing blood flow to your reproductive organs (?). Figured it was worth a try but I've prob started too late this month as got my positive opk today (I think - I'm interpreting my ic tests). Luckily we dtd this morning as DH has hurt himself playing football today. Hopefully his knee won't stop him tomorrow!

Treacle - I always use a lube (been using preseed but have recently switched to concieve plus) but SMEP says to take a chesty cough medicine a bit befor as this stimulates all mucus membranes (not just those in your chest) and oh my does this work! I'm enjoying myself more than I have in ages Grin

Congrats barmy and chocy!

Choccywoccydodah · 09/03/2014 19:33

Aww thanks kitty x

LUCY!!!! (Runs over to give a virtual hug) how are you oh preggo one!!! You're still keeping an eye on us all I see!! How is that bubba of your growing? Not long til your next scan is it xx

RetroHippy · 09/03/2014 19:36

Gosh, I've missed loads today. I'll have to make notes to reply to everyone!

Barmy, 9dpo! You are not doing much for my resolve not to test till 16dpo Grin

Choccy, sounding good! Fx for you that it's a sticky one.

How many is that so far? Is the mad March bus on target still?

missmrsmummy · 09/03/2014 19:40

Hi Retro I make notes sometimes lol what if someone stumbled across them? They'd seem a bit odd!

Mango I know what you mean about interpreting ics! I feel completely lost this cycle, not just because I'm new to ics but I was trying to not 'try' too hard so I didn't start testing until after I thought I'd ov'd. Then I randomly got one dark line! So confusing!
