Yep yep! I can see it!! I really hope it's not an evap. Fx for the morning do you!!

HettyB · 25/07/2014 23:51

I can see a line too - congratulations kurama!

cinnamongreyhound · 26/07/2014 00:42

Hi Kyz!

I can see it even in the first one kurama, but it is a long time after. Really hope you get a bfp in the morning!

Treaclepie19 · 26/07/2014 00:57

I'm excited for you kurama :)

Treaclepie19 · 26/07/2014 00:58

Also, English go for it!
Enjoy it.
My thinking for now is that I did everything right last time and miscarried.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 26/07/2014 06:24

Things is Treacle I know so many people who've not been TTC, got wasted and then found out they were pg. I genuinely think in that tww if you're body is going to make if happen it will regardless. And if something is going to go wrong it will, even if you do everything in your power to prevent it.

God knows why I'm awake so early on a saturday Shock

Treaclepie19 · 26/07/2014 06:49

Definitely English.

Haha I'm awake because I took my temp. No sign of ovulation in my bbt yet despite the peak opk. Cd18. Doesn't matter as we're not dtd at the moment but interesting to know if im going to ovulate.

KittyVonCatsington · 26/07/2014 07:27

I so hope that is the magic line kurama!!! FX!

I agree with English, Treacle, I didn't drink alcohol, eat unhealthily and took my vitamins and I still miscarried, a friends at the same time did all the opposite and she is due in October. If it is meant to happen it will. Grin

Well, I am off to Yorkshire for my little holiday for a week. I highly doubt I will get Wi-Fi in the moors so I may be AWOL for a bit apart from the days I go into Whitby. AF is still AWOL on CD44 BUT my bbt temp did massively dip to 36.74 this morning and my coverline is 36.60 so I am hoping she is just around the corner. I will be taking my Soy Isolflavones with me just in case Grin

(((Hugs and Waves to all)))

kurama · 26/07/2014 07:44

Kitty. Def no signal in the moors! Enjoy Whitby it's a lovely place and I love going there! If you have time you could always come to Scarborough Wink going to test soon

TheGrandHighWitch · 26/07/2014 08:06

Morning ladies. Like you TreaclePie19 I am awake due to temp taking although there seems little point as fertility friend doesn't seem to have a clue whats going on with me and is mostly taking a wild guess as far as I can tell.
Hope you enjoy your holiday KittyVonCatsington and that your body gives you an answer soon. I think I may look into the soy isoflavines for next cycle.
Good luck with the test Kurama.

cinnamongreyhound · 26/07/2014 08:09

We're going to similar places by the sound of it KittyVonCatsington, but at end if August :) have a lovely time. We've got wifi in our cottage though or I think dss would hate me!

kurama · 26/07/2014 08:10

Bfn this morn but yesterday's wee was a lot stronger. Must not drink while at work today!

Wineandchoccy · 26/07/2014 08:22

Good morning, we are off to my BIL and SIL today for a BBQ and a few lot drinks, when I was ttc before my mc I was being really good and hardly drinking but now I am having fun until I see those 2 lines Smile

Opk was darker yesterday so I hope today's will be even darker we have managed eod so far so even if it doesn't work this month we can't say we didn't try Grin

Good luck with the test kurama

Have a lovely holiday kitty we are off to Thirsk next Friday camping so I hope the sun keeps shining for both of us.

kurama · 26/07/2014 08:27

oooh 2 friends coming on hol near me lol. Grin

KittyVonCatsington · 26/07/2014 08:35

We might head to Scarborough kurama. My DH plays for a cricket team and they are on a mini cricket tour oh the life of a cricket WAG and sometimes they play at the county cricket ground there. I'll FB you if we are near xx

Siarie · 26/07/2014 08:48

Ladies I am full swing ready to participate on this bus once the witch leaves me. Poor DH said "so what can we so this next try to improve our chances" such a sweetie!

Question how many of you have paid for VIP fertility friend? My trial just ended and I miss the symptoms on the chart xx

pyrowall · 26/07/2014 08:59

I paid, but I got a massive discount - i paid about £15 for the year I think.
I think it's worth it - have a google about for discount codes?

HettyB · 26/07/2014 09:56

Is anyone else having the most ridiculous dreams? It seems like every time I close my eyes I dream about being pregnant, not being pregnant, temperature charting....last night I woke up from a dream where I'd got my smear test results and the doctor told me I couldn't have children (yes, I know there's no way they could tell that from a smear! But trying reasoning with my dreaming brain)... It was horrible :-(

mistywillow17 · 26/07/2014 10:49

Hetty, I am having ridiculously vivid dreams, most of which have a pregnancy/baby focus (last night I was trying to call the police about a nursery staffed by criminals who had robbed my house while looking after my newborn baby, because they knew I would be out at work!)

On another topic, does anyone else have a DH who, while on board with the idea of TTC, gets uncomfortable with the details and doesn’t really want to know the ins and outs (so to speak)? Mine finds it a lot of pressure to deal with (which can, ahem… hinder things somewhat….) so the unspoken rule is that I deal with timings etc, and he pretends we are just shagging for fun all the time.

I feel like I am living in a dubious sitcom at the moment – trying to get things happening at the right times without letting him know that they are the “right times” – in fact, I am proud to say that I have perfected the art of letting him think that HE instigated things on most occasions [evil cackle!]

Sorry for TMI, but all symptoms point to me ovulating RIGHT NOW and he is out playing golf, so just planning my strategy for when he gets back…

mistywillow17 · 26/07/2014 10:50

P.S. forgot to say, keeping fingers crossed for the next test Kurama

lucieloos · 26/07/2014 10:56

Hi everyone, I've just been kicked off the July bus, AF has arrived full force this morning Hmm Hope you don't mind if I hop on here.
Here are my stats...

Lucieloos, 35, TTC #1, cycle 5, bfp due 19th August

CoffeeOne · 26/07/2014 11:22

Just got back from a lovely relaxing holiday. I think I ovulated yesterday (cd22 early for me) but we haven't dtd as often as hoped due to toddler DS being in our room whilst we were away! I will be testing on the 8th August but won't be holding my breath. It's our first month so still in a what will be will be mindset.

I had to laugh at your post mistywillow, men are funny things!

I was watching one born every minute the other day and DP walked in and made a heaving sound and told me he'd be outside when it's our turn (he was joking), and yesterday I had to explain what a coil was!! He's 31 by the way!

Quick question to those using fertility friend, is that just a trial for the standard charting or just the VIP??

fattycow · 26/07/2014 11:47

Hello to all the new passengers on the bus!

I had a talk with my best friend yesterday. She is ttc #2, but no luck yet. I haven't told her we are trying for one as well. I just can't face it if I have to disappoint her each month as well.
Anyway, we were fantasizing about being pregnant together. She knows I do want babies, so imagining we would both fall pregnant next January was nice. Although I hope to be pretty far along by then!
