Massive congratulations English!!! How exciting

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 08:31

Oh English I'm so excited for you, Congratulations Grin (jumps around shaking green Pom poms)

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 08:41

I'm 10dpo and desperate to get home today and pee on an opkGrin should get a positive today or tomorrow. As we're away we have dtd loads, sorry tmi Grin really wish it had been ov time but hopefully some will hang around and dp says he's gonna step up and carry on with the shag-a-thon!! Smile

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 08:42

Zwanger....haha love thatGrin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 08:57

Thanks ladies, I really don't know how i would have got through the last few months with out you all. Being in a foreign country with friends and family so far away has been hard, but you guys have been fab. I have genuinely been super happy when someone gets a bfp and wish everyone else here gets their bfp soon. Especially some of the long time travellers!! I will keep lurking, i've grown rather attached to you all. Smile

SoMuchFruit · 12/05/2014 08:59

I've been lurking and keeping my head down but I have to show myself now!

Firstly - EnglishGirl ! Congratulations Grin Thanks Zwanger indeed! Very pleased for you.

Secondly, some ladies might remember me (or not) I didn't get onto this bus and was only a shady backseat lurker on the April bus because I was feeling very sorry for myself and thinking that really I might just be too fecking old for this TTC business (pathetic, I know)

Anyway, didn't think this month was my month even though we did a few new things but in a fickle Devil-My-Care mood I POAIC this morning.. And now I am freaking out.

Can anyone else see a line ? It's slightly darker IRL/easier to see IRL.

I would only be 12dpo or so.

SoMuch - Thank you! Of course I remember you. I do indeed see a hint of a line!! Very excited for you! Maybe leave it a couple of days and try another. For now..... Tentative congratulations. Smile

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 09:03

Ooh somuch, good to see youGrin

I can't see your line as I'm on my phone but keeping fx for you.

lindamagoo · 12/05/2014 09:04

I think I see a line too. Fingers crossed for you Smile

SoMuchFruit · 12/05/2014 09:11

Thanks Ladies Grin .. I think it's a line. I've had a dodgy month with sticks generally..

OV sticks arrived one morning. I peed on one to 'practice' and boom! 2 mega strong purple lines pretty immediately.. Didn't think I was due to Ov for a good few days more. Seems not. Had no EWCM to speak of or anything... I then didn't get a chance to pee on another O-Stick for another 6 days. By which time it was neg. Didn't manage to follow SMEP plan either so gave up this month as a bad job.

Been drinking, smoking and eating rubbish since.. Had a big fat G&T last night... Confused

SoMuchFruit · 12/05/2014 09:14

I am nervy about the faintness.. When I MC in December the line was faint.. got strong, then got fainter...

I wish I hadn't peed on the bloody thing now. Just left it until AF was late (if she came late) because then I'd never know if it was AF or just a poor little unstuck bean.

kurama · 12/05/2014 09:17

thanks guys Smile . english so happy for u!Grin sonuch im on my phone so cant see pics. but fx it gets darker over next few days.
im feeling very tired and grumpy right now. but thats coz my boss has txt me and woke. me up again. (he likes waking me up) but I have one of my furbabys curled up on my stomach at mo Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 09:20

Try not to worry SoMuch, or compare your tests to last time. I mc in dec too and have decided that now I've got clarification I won't do anymore hpts. Today I am pregnant. My digi's last time never went beyond 1-2 weeks so I knew it was doomed. This time round i'm going to try to enjoy it each day at a time. Wait a couple of days and see how you feel. If af doesn't arrive try another. Sending you lots of luck!

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 09:27

Just realised I said I'm 10dpo....I'm cd 10!!

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 09:30

Sounds like a good plan English to stay away from the pee sticks! I think you can drive yourself crazy when you keep poasGrin

Stats please ladiesGrin

SoMuchFruit · 12/05/2014 09:30

Thanks English.. Am so thrilled for you :D So sad about the MC , it's so hard. Same here, never made it past 1-2 weeks. I will wait a couple of days and see if AF shows up, no more tests until then. Might lay off the Wine just in case though!

SoMuchFruit · 12/05/2014 09:34

I've kinda lost count Spinning Stats are all over the place as we took a break from Dec-March as we were on holiday so not sure what cycle to say this is ? Cycle 2 post MC ? From beginning ttc this is Cycle 9. BFP/AF due 14th May.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 09:38

Really hope this is happy news for you SoMuch, fx crossed.

My stats...
DTD: CD 11,13,15,18,20,22,23,24,+25.
+tive OPK CD23. OV'd CD24.
Brown spotting from 12dpo, accompanied by temp dip at 12dpo. Faint line at 16dpo. CB digi today at 18dpo.
Taking Pregnacare and Maca Root (first full month using this). Vit D for last week.

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 12/05/2014 09:46

I'd like to jump on the bus although am very late and have been lurking..

Stats:

mustbeduesomebetterfeet 36 TTC #2 BFP due 19 May...

Only bothered DTD twice this month on CD12 and 14 so we'll see what happens (although did use the softcups as that seemed to work when I conceived my son).

So excited to see all the BFPs - congrats!

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 10:06

Fab stats English and well done on the shag-a-thonGrin

Quick question....can you buy softcups on the high street? I see them on amazon but they won't arrive ontime!!

SoMuchFruit · 12/05/2014 10:07

Oh those Stats!!! Sorry! Not thinking straight.

DTD CD 12, 14, 15, 17... can't remember after that.. but I think 18 and maybe 20.. and a few more times since.

+OPK on CD11 so adding on the 24-36hrs after they think you Ov in then I would have Ov'd on day 14 ?

The biggest thing we did different is use Preseed. On between days 12-18 or so (and then I got bored of faffing with it and stopped Blush)

If I am upduffed then I blame/credit the Preseed. The last pg (MC) occurred when I had been taking Cough mixture to increase EWCM, of which I have scant offerings at the best of times. All other cycles - actively trying or not - have ended in BFN. Apart from the two that had lots of EWCM/Fake EWCM.

lindamagoo · 12/05/2014 10:09

Spinning I ordered my softcups from boots online so you might get them in a boots store. I'd imagine you would anyway cause they are meant for af

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 10:09

Ooh that's fab somuch, my preseed arrives today so I'll hopefully try it laterGrin full of positive thinking this month!

spinningirl10 · 12/05/2014 10:10

Thanks Linda, I just looked in superdrug but I'll check boots.
