Morning! If you were me, Tilly, I'd DTD today, tomorrow and next day, take a break then one more for luck. It is tricky pinpointing exact ovulation, but usually 12 to 36 hours after positive OPK, so count day after tomorrow (Tuesday) as 1 dpo. Still solid smileys for me a CD12!

KittyVonCatsington · 12/04/2014 07:39

Stupid typos-still blank circles for me! (I must be on autopilot to write solid smiley by accident Blush

I'd do the

My phone

Treaclepie19 · 12/04/2014 07:40

Argh! Stupid phone. Id do the same as kitty.

6dpo for me!

Tilly28 · 12/04/2014 07:45

Thanks Kitty, I thought that was what's recommended. Will give it a try! :-) No more poas each morning now, I think this is going to seem a long wait.

How long are your cycles normally Kitty? I didn't get my first flashing until CD12 and then I had 5 days of them before today's solid smiley!

Tilly28 · 12/04/2014 07:48

Thanks Treacle! Will give it a go! I think we made the mistake last month of not doing it enough at that point in my cycle as we only did it on CD 17 (today) and them not again till CD 21 so must have missed the crucial time as I presumed I would have oved earlier around CD14.

Btw, rather off topic but how do you write people's names in bold? Can it be done on a phone or just if you're on the computer?

Bumblesprout · 12/04/2014 08:34

Morning everyone!

Well u guys asked for one... can't quite get my head round it but I just got a BFP!

Tilly, we did it on the day the solid face appeared and it looks to have worked!

This is what we did;
Pregnacare conception throughout
Dtd on the day the solid face appeared, (tues) nudp, pillow under hips for 20 mins after, and I orgasmed after DH. Same again for alternate days (thu & sat)

Also, I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid and this is the first month where I have started taking the hormones for that so not sure if that helped as well.

Treaclepie19 · 12/04/2014 08:38

Yay bumblesprout! :) congrats!!!
I'm having my thyroid checked too this month.

Bumblesprout · 12/04/2014 08:39

Symptoms
Upset tummy since Tuesday. Nausea but not actually sick, major diarrhea ( sorry tmi) and chills and muscle aches. Could still have been a bug as I have read that if immune system is surpressed then it can be easier to catch them.
But, I still have mild nausea even tho the other 'bug' symptoms have gone.

Treaclepie19 · 12/04/2014 08:39

Oh and Tilly, bold is then writing then

lindamagoo · 12/04/2014 08:40

Congrats Bumble that is fantastic news Thanks

Bumblesprout · 12/04/2014 08:42

Thank you treacle!
Hope u get some joy on the thyroid front, I must admit I was pleased when I was diagnosed as it explained quite a few things! If u hav't already, check out the British thyroid association website, loads of useful info.

Bumblesprout · 12/04/2014 08:43

Thank you Linda, it's just sinking in!

lindamagoo · 12/04/2014 08:46

I've got an under active thyroid aswell, seems to be a lot more common than I thought.

MrsGingerbread · 12/04/2014 08:47

Congratulations bumblesprout

BFN here :( (10dpo) thought this might have been our month so feeling a bit flat now.

Anyone else peeing today? Crossing fingers for you!!

KittyVonCatsington · 12/04/2014 08:48

Yay Bumble so pleased for you! Thanks

I still think that your DTD on the Thursday as well might have helped, rather than just on the day of the solid smiley, as you might have ovulated then-just saying in case anyone only DTD on the day of a solid smiley then gets disappointed. Solid smiley infers ovulation is imminent soon and an egg only survives for around 12 hours and the average sperm only 24 hours (some can live up to 5, but only some!) so it really is a miracle to pinpoint it exactly and I'm so happy you have your little miracle now!

Tilly -normally have 30 day cycles but my Feb cycle was a BFP cycle so of course went way over that and last cycle went to CD35 but of course I have no idea when my HCG levels went down to zero. So I'm testing a little early in case this is another 'special' cycle Grin

spinningirl10 · 12/04/2014 08:55

Bumble....yay CongratulationsGrin

Ginger, it might just be too early at 10dpo, fx for you.

Nordic, how are you feeling? Sorry you're feeling down, after everything you've been through you really deserve a sticky bfp Thanks

Goodthingscometothosewhowait · 12/04/2014 08:58

Congratulations Bumble Smile

I have been symptom spotting like a mad woman! Think DH is getting a bit sick of it. In the last week, Have had diarrhea for a few days, back aches, mood swings, and AF like cramps for last two days. Yesterday morning I felt nauseous, and had a frequent need to pee! It's probably all psychological. Not due to poas til Friday but DH is away so it will have to be next sat if AF hasn't got me! Can't believe I've got another week to wait I'll drive myself insane!

JonesSchool · 12/04/2014 09:05

Massive congratulations bumblesprout you must be over the moon.

I have just chucked my morning wee away, I prefer to have hope when thinking about my symptoms (probably in my head) than the actual real disappointment a BFN brings.
Might be brave tomorrow or Monday, day 13 or 14.

kurama · 12/04/2014 09:10

Thanks nordic I didnt realise that. you are an inspiration! congrats on the bfp!!!!Grin my stomach is agony today but im sure thats from my pt session at gym yest..... hope everyone has a good weekend x

xBlueberry88x · 12/04/2014 09:25

Wow another BFP congratulations Bumble

Ive gotta wait till wednesday to poas but im soooo desparate to do it now Sad

day 4 of weird stomach pains, diarrhea, extreme tiredness and generally run down fx

Nordic well done for carrying on even after everything you have been through you are a very strong person.

Happy weekend everyone shame im at work

Spotti · 12/04/2014 09:34

Yay bumble.

goodthings - I've been having the exact same symptoms as you! Hope it's a sign. Currently sat here having weird fanny twinges (apologies for being so blunt - can't think of a more polite way to put it!) which I'm seriously hoping isn't the evil witch...depending on how long my cycle is this time, she could be due today (day 28) or next Saturday (day 35), the latter of which would match the pattern set by my last few cycles. However, she's such an evil little so-and-so that she might just turn up at any point really hoping that that point isn't just yet. Got a doggy client to go and train this morning so could really do without being doubled up with AF pain!

Really want to go POAS to find out one way or the other but I now that if I get a BFN then I'll convince myself that it's too early/the test doesn't work/or whatever other excuse my silly brain makes up, or if AF turns up then I'll be extra sad if I've already tested. Trying really hard to resist...although now I need to pee...someone lock up the ICs!
