The long awaited April bus for those penis-dragon-worshipping, green pom pom waving, non symptom spotting ladies who will get their BFP this month!

Well, cd6, af gone, let the dtd commence!!!

BearsInMotion · 24/03/2014 18:22

TTC #2, cycle 2, BFP due 20 April! EDD 27 December I'm guessing!

Treaclepie19 · 24/03/2014 18:51

Time for my Mr Selfridge fix, we're only half way through season 2 as we were late to the game.

Is it wrong that I have a massive crush on Mr Selfridge even though he is double my age?

Grrr I'm confusing the hell out of myself here. Just been trying to work out from the EDD when I was PG with DS when I would have ovulated as when I had my dating scan my EDD moved a few days. So I've figured out that even though I've always had a pretty regular 28 day cycle that I more than likely ovulated on CD20 when I conceived him. Does this mean I just would have had a late period that month if I hadn't got pg, or do I always have a short LP?

I've really got to stop over thinking everything. Finding it very hard to trust these OPKs but maybe I do ov late. Who knows?!

Sorry - stressed rambling done!

victoria401 · 24/03/2014 19:45

Ive no idea what they calculate the EDD from. I had a chat with my friend about it months ago and she said when they calculated her DD's date she would have conceived on cd6. She said she was still on af then and not even had sex! I probably wouldnt think too much of it :-)

Metalhead · 24/03/2014 19:56

Evening all, hope everyone's had a good weekend!

Hi CallingAllEngels, I remember you from the ttc#2 thread [waves]. Haven't been in there since my mc as it was getting a bit too depressing reading all the pregnancy updates.

CD8 here, I've been having quite a lot of watery cm today but opks are still negative, unsurprisingly. Still, hopefully things are moving in the right direction!

I don't think EDD is a reliable way to work out ov Polythene, I'm sure when I got given my date for DD I worked out that she would've been conceived nearly a week after we last dtd (not impossible I know, but a bit unlikely).

toots123 · 24/03/2014 20:07

Evening all. Hope everyone jas been dtd lots!!
we are just home from the car garage.j ust bought a new car :) cannot wait to go and collect it!

Had to remind myself about our solid smiley so we dont forget to dtd but dh said "dont worry, I remembered" haha

PolytheneGirl · 24/03/2014 20:10

I know I'm being a bit dim about the whole OV/EDD thing but I'm clutching at straws for some sense of what is going on. I'll be fine once I get my positive opk.

bellaboo88 · 24/03/2014 20:28

Hmm 2nd day of ewcm, and there's tonnes of it! No line still on opk. Does everyone find opks work or do some people not get lines?

I've wondered about anovulatory cycles, if you don't ovulate, how can you get AF on time? Xx

CallingAllEngels · 24/03/2014 20:32

I know what you mean metalhead ! I'm still on the thread but seems to be more pg posters than ttcers! Only 2nd cycle since mc for me so feel like I've been waiting forever. Confident that we'll get a bfp before the end of the year!

Metalhead · 24/03/2014 21:04

I really hope so Engels!

bella it is quite common to get ewcm for a few days before ov I think. Although it is possible to miss your LH surge with the opks if it's very short, I've always got positives eventually, just sometimes they come later than you think. I'd keep testing for a few days.

MissMrsMummy · 24/03/2014 21:47

Hey bella have you been doing/taking anything to help with ewcm or do you naturally just get loads? if so I'm jealous I'm having cough syrup and grapefruit to help! Not noticed any improvement yet but CD8 so AF only just gone.

bellaboo88 · 24/03/2014 21:51

Will do metal, thanks. I normally ov cd19 so ewcm this early is odd!

I'm only on folic & zinc, I've ditched my normal vits as £5 a months not worth wasting. Xx

MooMaid · 24/03/2014 21:53

Hi all,

Really fecked off as AF arrived today and I literally wanted to cry in the middle of my office. Professional much?? So I'm now on the April bus but feeling utterly useless Sad

TTC #1, cycle 5 or 6, BFP please please had bloody well better arrive 23rd April which would make me due 28th Dec Shock

victoria401 · 24/03/2014 22:04

Don't be sad moo these things take time and you're still in early days although it feels like forever. One thing I've learned from this journey is that it doesn't happen from a missed pill or split johnny for many of us!

My ewcm seems to vary month to month and I don't think I do anything differently. Last month I had tons so thought it was a good sign! Still bfn tho! This month I've had very little which I'm not that pleased about as there is nothing for the little guys to swim in! Was drinking grapefruit juice too!

MooMaid · 24/03/2014 22:06

I think Victoria that's what's frustrating. You always hear about people getting pregnant and didn't mean to, exactly from missed pill or split johnny yet me, full blown flagrant disregard for any contraceptive and nothing. I'll be fine tomorrow, just fucked off today

toots123 · 25/03/2014 07:00

Ive had bad pains most of the night so im either just about tooovulate or it happened. So new stats

toots123 ttc#1 cycle 4 bfp due 9th April (hopefully although Ithink my lp is abnormally long and more like the 3 week wait!!!)

toots123 · 25/03/2014 07:16

bella are you testing daily? When you get close to ov its sometimes handy to test twice a day so you don't miss your peak x

lindamagoo · 25/03/2014 07:25

Morning all, I've been awake since 5 am with bad pains quite low down and feeling sick, 5dpo, too soon for implantation? The craziness has begun already, lol...

PolytheneGirl · 25/03/2014 08:19

I got my flashing smiley!!!!! GrinGrinGrin

GeorgieWilson · 25/03/2014 08:34

Soooooooo bored of the 2ww already!!

Just had to get that out!! Welcome to moo and bears and ta for the new list Spotti.

spinningirl10 · 25/03/2014 08:42

MorningGrin

Ooh Linda, could be implantation, fxGrin

Georgie.....I'm with you there and I'm only 2dpo!! Grin

Sparrowlegs248 · 25/03/2014 08:48

Yey poly good news!! I got another blank one this morning after yesterdays smiley. Managed to dtd last night though so thats good. I think i will keep testing just to be sure.

Sparrowlegs248 · 25/03/2014 09:06

Good luck to those in the 2ww. I am already impatient.

Does anyone else get this feeling : yesterday i got a smiley on the clearblue thingummy in the morning. Managed to dtd last night. And now I feel like something that should be happening!!!

Like NOW!!

PolytheneGirl · 25/03/2014 09:18
