Emergency bus for August! Penis dragons welcome, summer loving continued!

[MrsExtraOrdinary]

Oh dear we've run out of space! Hopefully somebody lovely will copy the stats over

Where you were ladies....

Thank you ladies

I've had a repeat of yesterday.....I pee'd in a cup first thing and dipped the frer and an ic. I put the frer in my pocket and left the ic in the bathroom. Returned to the bathroom 20 mins later for a shower and there is a faint line on the ic. Very strange, I don't know what to think.....just have to carry on poas I guess, 12dpo today.

The ic's are more sensitive spinning and if you've had late implantation a frer might not show positive yet fingers crossed

Ooh, it's a tricky one. Normally I'd say anything after 10 minutes has to be discarded. But I know any line gets our hopes up. Next time, stay with the stick and time it

Hmmm we'll see, I don't feel pregnant at all and I always pee loads when I am, it's my first sign. So I will assume that I'm not unless a frer tells me differently

Haha and yes kitty, must stay with the test and not wander off

Someone asked about stats for my BFP...

It was cycle four since TTC. This cycle I'd tried to get the balance between not paying much attention and focusing too much on symptoms (so my info isn't brilliant!)

I used IC OPKs and caught a surge on CD11 (I think). I've had some long cycles so we tried to dtd every other day for as long as we could.

We DTD ON CD 9, 11, 13 (twice ), 15, 17, 21, 25, 28. Elevated hips on a pillow afterwards and tried to stay horizontal for about 15 mins afterwards. Can't remember when but I felt some odd pulling sensations and a fanjo lighting strike and I wondered if they were implantation pains (can't remember which days). Noticed more CM than usual for longer. Increased thirst, but possibly due to hot weather.

Sorry it's not much but I hope it's helpful for someone.

Chandler your plan for a cycle routine sounds awesome. Really hope you don't have to do too many rotations before you get a BFP.

Spinning defo agree that you're not out yet. Hope you can surf the waiting and uncertainty.

This board really is amazing - I have to say I've never been so nervous in anticipation for news on a potential line (spinning) and vicariously living the joy of a super efficient latest cycle (kitty) for two women I have never met. Nuts I know the rhythms and inner workings of your wombs to this extent but no idea what you look like or what your real names are! So cool isn't it. He he.

Beach parties are the way forward spinning! Thai bank hol weekend so we aren't back to work til Weds. In fact it's Thai mothers' day tomorrow! Will get myself soused in rum for that one... Lol...

Cracking stats Phryn, sorry, x-post. Thanks for sharing!! Love the fact you probably caught the bean on the double shag day - good effort!!!

Hello

Please may I get in the bus?

Been TTC since April. Am absolutely completely totally and utterly positive I'm pregnant now (tiny little bleed now stopped, light headed, grim taste in my mouth, coffee tastes rank...I have DS aged 2 so remember what it was like) but did a stupid thing. AF due on Wed, but have just bought a cheapy test kit and done it not with first wee of the day and got BFN.

Am going to buy expensive kit, wait til Wed and do it with super concentrated morning wee so fingers crossed for BFP then. Thank you for letting me vent my grrrrrrrrness :)

You are very very sweet Chandlers although sure you're not still a bit tipsy from the beach party Love reading upduffed stats too-gives us all hope!

We'll keep you company while you wait Wiggly !

Thank you Kitty that makes me feel much better :)

spinning I am still v.hopeful that this is your time. Tomorrow morn do not, I repeat do not take your eyes off that test! I will allow blinking.
You may not have peeing round the clock as a symptom this time. Both my pregnancies were very different. I was convinced ds2 was a girl and midwives asked me if they had different dad's at every appointment due to extreme differences.

chandler your plan sounds v.inspiring. Hope you don't have to do hardcore workout too many times, sounds like very hard work.

phryn thanks for stats, you did have a busy month. It's definite lack of shagging that's our down fall even though it's simple biology.

So I'm 5DPO and my resolution of not POAS until 18 DPO! is still standing. I'm just going to watch my temps and see if they stay above the cover line, no symptom spotting, no second guessing.

Seems like a great start to the month so far, lots of lovely BFP's.

Whether or not I'll make it to 18DPO I don't know :D

Massive congratulations to those with BFPs! What great news yesterday.

Sorry to everyone for whom AF arrived over the weekend, but let's hope for the next bus!!

I am well into the 2WW and dying of boredom here. I also think I might be going crazy with the symptom spotting. Friday my breasts felt very tingly.... I think this was the first sign I had when I was pregnant with my son. But then again, it's such a vague symptom that I'm now thinking that I might have imagined it - hence losing my mind!!!

Been testing on the ICs over the past few days but it's far too soon for a positive (only 10DPO today at best!) so am going to try and hold out until due date (Thursday I think). We'll see!

Am not looking forward to the disappointment but good to have had some hope for a short time at least.

Good luck everyone!!

Fx for you mustbe

Cpt, haha I will be keeping a close eye on it!

Ahhh chandler, that's so lovely. It is funny how involved we become in each others lives. Years ago I belonged to a forum when I was expecting my ds. We all met up at the London baby show and a few of us have remained in touch ever since and are fb friends.

Thanks for that stats phryn! I love reading them!!

Gutted for u spinning!
FX to everyone still to test!

I am now slightly concerned that AF arrived on CD20, 9DPO and I'm extremely heavy (sorry tmi) it may be my cycles just sorting themselves out, I've had normal withdrawal bleed then 30 day cycle then 20 day cycle! I'm really hoping it isn't something more serious as 9 luteal phase would not be good!! Do u think I should book in with a nurse, or am I overreacting for it bring far too soon?

Hello! Please can I board the bus?

I'm 34, TTC #1, cycle 2, BFP due around 23 Aug.

I was kind of hoping that I'd be like my sister and get a 'hole in one', on cycle one but my body is obviously not as freakishly efficient as hers. AF was 3 days late last time though which completely messed with my head - but am assuming that the stresses of marriage and international travel (got married and went on honeymoon) in July buggered my system. It was still disappointing though. So, here I am.

Dino welcome to the bus, congrats on your recent marriage and I hope you had an amazing honeymoon. I'm sure you will get your BFP shortly xx

Good work Phryn! That's very efficient shagging!
Welcome Dino.
Saire - 18dpo?! I'd never get that far! Good effort if you do manage it! Hope AF stays away for you!

It's so weird have this little internet friendship with people without any idea of what they look like. The intimate details we share with strangers. I genuinely would love to meet you all!

Bloody hell I have just POAS and I have a BFP!!!!

See I got that excited I posted before I finished my message

I will POAS in the morning to check but 3 tests can't be wrong but after last time I am bloody nervous.

Congratulations Wine! a huge happy& healthy nine moths to you :)! X

Yay! Congratulations wineandchoccy,
