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

Where you were ladies....

Yey!! Congrats banana and the other ladies whose BFP's I've missed! Wishing u a healthy 12 months!

What are your stats symptoms etc?

Congrats Banana

Thanks Sunshine and English. No real symptoms at all - except feeling a bit sick this morning but sure that's the shock! - the only thing I've noticed (weirdly) is that the muscles just inside and below my hips have been twingy. No idea if that's related! I ovulated late, around day 23ish and must have caught from dtd the day before. I drank pink grapefruit juice every day from about day 10 to ovulation as I read it increases ewcm - not sure if it did or not but I felt like I had more than normal. Otherwise I didn't do anything special, no legs raised, etc. Just got very lucky.

Congrats banana amazing news. Did u ov test and if so did u use internet cheapies or cbfm? And did I dtd loads or just at what u knew were peak times? Sorry for Spanish Inquisition just desperate to learn

Sparkle I'm sorry that sucks

Yeah another bfp to wake upto this morning!! Anymore ppl testing today??
Banana wishing you well in your pregnancy, is mr banana pleased?

I haven't told him yet, he's at work and can't call him. Think I'm going to wait til this evening - he will prob be shocked and a bit scared but happy.

I used cheapie OPKs but not every day and never got a proper positive, just a faint line. But I've felt myself ovulate almost every month since stopping the pill so when the faint OPK came the same day as the cramping I took it to be positive. Not sure if it was that exact day but clearly it was close enough. I thought we might have dtd too early as we did it the day before I thought I ovulated and not again for another 5ish days. Dtd roughly every 3 days but ranged from 2 to 7 days so not that much.

Yay banana! So pleased for you, that's fab news.

sparkle, sorry for your bfn. Keep on keeping on lovely x

Congratulations banana

Sorry sparkle but it's not over yet :)

Congrats banana! Really great another BFP.

My temp went up this morning, possibly looking at a triphasic chart if the next few days stay at that level. 8DPO today, the two week wait is taking it's time I actually wish I was working then I wouldn't be so aware of the time going by!

I'm crossing my fingers AF doesn't come early again like she did last cycle (which will be tomorrow) but at least this time my temps are going up rather than down!

Figured I'd link my chart, I think it's looking good so far? FF says 7dpo but I think I ovulated the day before as I felt it.

Congratulations Banana, wishing you a happy and healthy nine months!!,

Sparkle its not over till the witch comes, crossing my fingers for you!!!

Oh my god, great news Bananatoast.

I thought I'd post my stats in case it's any use. I am well aware that I went all guns blazing this month (and no idea if it had any effect on end result).

DTD on CD13, 15, 17 (positive OPK), 18. Was temping and saw rise on day 18.

Used Pre-seed, and after each time, I elevated bum for a while, inserted softcup, then stayed lying down until morning.

I took cough mixture from day 12 through to 18 and noticed a massive increase in EWCM.

Vits wise:

Vitamin D, Folic Acid and Selenium & Zinc all month, then EPO up to ovulation and Vitamin B complex since ovulation.

Mustbe what DPO did you get your BFP out of interest?

congratulations banana

Thank you for the stats must - the hard work paid off for you

Yay for banana hope you have a happy and healthy nine months.

As for MrKitty, he is the proud owner of a metal plate in his arm! Should be coming home today, just waiting for the call to pick him up. Hopefully, I'll be the next one going to hospital had a little peek at the maternity ward from the outsided when I was visiting yesterday!

I have only had dried spots of blood when wiping today, so hopefully has finished but will still keep wearing a pad in case. The weird thing is that my bbt temp just keeps rising (37.26 on 5dpo!!). No dip as if it was ovulation spotting...but also no "up and down temps" as normal. Hmmm, all very strange. Hope there is a little zygote travelling rather than a fibroid or cyst!

Here is my weird soy isoflavones chart so far! FertilityFriend.com/home/4f8058

saire yours is looking good so far!

Ooo kitty I'm slightly jealous of your plotting on your chart I've still not quite got my head around it all. But I thought I'd pick your brain because I'll be taking my soy again this eve which will be day 4.

Symptoms so far which I believe are fairly usual, churning tummy, frequent number 2 (sorry tmi), crying on day 2 and I wasn't even sad and cramping which I don't ever get this time of month 6 days into a cycle. So must be doing something I guess we will wait and see.

The frequent number 2 is something I had too MrsE but also, around CD8 onwards (after finishing the Soy) my libido went sky high! must have been the extra oestrogen I was producing. My pre-ov temps were never that low before. It's just the spotting and cramps yesterday that got me worried but then, I had that last cycle too which went a bit Pete Tong. I'm still hopeful for this cycle xx

Good question as my apps all have different dates.

I think I was 12DPO when I got my BFP (Ovuview says 10 DPO and Fertility Friend says 14 DPO!!).

Symptoms-wise, I had some odd shooting pains around 5DPO, then tingly breasts 7DPO, and pain in them since then. Then the need to wee kicked in around 9DPO. Very tired (although could be the 18 month old I have to run around after!).

HTH.

Congrats Banana, lovely news. I'm due AF today and so far its not arrived, so taking that are good news. Ha ha. Totally clutching at straws but hey ho. Going to try and hold out until the weekend before testing. We're TTC # 1 and this is cycle 2. Been feeling really rotten for the past week but that might be me just imagining things. Good luck to everyone who is testing soon.

Oh Must I have all those so I'll remain hopeful! Just for records sake I want to list my symptoms (I'm trying hard not to notice as I don't know if these are normal PMS for me or not yet).

0 DPO - Ovulation pain and temp rise
1 - 4 DPO Nothing to report
5 DPO - Electric type shock down below followed by low twinge cramps and dip in chart
6 - 8 DPO - Sea sickness coming and going in evening mostly, Gas, bloating, frequent number 2 or not at all, low cramps have been around all the time (hope its not AF coming :/), tired now and then but also high energy in the mornings. I had a nap yesterday mid day!

I forgot sore BBS 6 - 8 DPO

Siarie - all fingers and toes crossed for you! sounds promising. When is AF due?

Fx kitty! Hopefully I won't be seeing you in September I'm looking forward to the return of my libido! Lol it departed in 2011 and hasn't really been seen ever since. Very strange and im still not used to it as I used to be a nymph!
