The continuing Pregtober bus where we all take crack epo!!

[spinningirl10]

New bus ladies, hop on

Okay, finally got 5 mins to sit down and post stats!

Um, okay this was cycle 4 (and my final cycle before we had to stop for the next 8 months :( ) We DTD CD 8, 10, 12, 13, 14. I didn't get a proper positive OPK but it seemed likely to be on CD 13 overnight. I did one which was very nearly a positive at 7pm on CD12, and then 12 hours later got one which was lighter than the 7pm one. So I think I would have got a positive during CD13, with ovulation late on CD13, as by CD14 EWCM had really subsided. I didn't have much either this month to be honest.

I was on night shifts at the time of ovulation, so to be quite honest it was a bloody nightmare. I had 40 minutes on CD13 to get in the mood and actually DTD!

So I POAS on CD 21, which was 8-9DPO (depending whether ov was CD13 or 14). I did a FRER which was of course a BFN! I did an IC last night before bed which was a BFN on CD 9-10. And then this morning on CD10-11 a squinter of a line appeared after 6 mins on an IC!

And so you ladies pushed me to crack open the FRER! Which was indeed a BFP!

I think I am more likely to be 10dpo, so going to go with that for now!

I got a BFP at 10dpo with toddler DS too. So I'm lucky to get them so early.

I am going to assume this means I'm likely to end up with hyperemesis again due to high hormone levels. Bah.

The only thing we did differently this cycle was DP - he has been exercising. And on CD 12, 13 and 14 while I was in work he repeatedly got himself close to orgasm as he read that this would increase the quantity of swimmers . I had noticed that by CD13 on previous cycles he wasn't producing much. So he decided to try the above. It did work by the way, in that the quantity was much more like we hadn't DTD for a week.

Symptoms - non. I was exhausted by 9pm last night though. So maybe that was one.

Last time my first symptoms were around the time my period was due - and it was ravenous hunger . Can't wait for that one!!

Great stats detective and how lovely that you got your bfp before an 8month break! Interesting about the swimmers being better after almost orgasming, not heard of that one before.

No MN for 8hrs I shall miss you all, I imagine the site will crash at 2!

Great stats Thedetective.

I'm feeling really weepy which I'm scared is pmt.
No more spotting here but that doesn't mean much, when AF comes I often get it on and off spotting.

Ok Sunbathing and MrsE - how long did your implantation bleed last for, was it just one wipe or one day or longer? And was it brown?

Really sorry to be so nosey

Thanks Sunbathing :)
What dpo was it on?
I know I shouldn't get my hopes up!

Opk from today - line nearly as strong as control? Don't want to get hopes up but this is darker than yesterday. I hope it is a sign! Will pee on an hpt on Sunday :D

Oh my gosh.

I'm away one day in a boring meeting and there are two bfps!! Massive congratulations to you both. I've just been reading your stats. Fab news

And muchly to find out no MN tomorrow. What will I do???
Cd18 and a much fainter line on my ic opk so guess must have ov'd. Hoping my temps confirm it soon. We'll DtD tomorrow just in case.
We've gone to such lengths to DtD loads this month that I'm going to be sorely disappointed if no BFP at the end of it!

Wanttobe I think you should pee on an hpt now

Jackie, it's hard isn't it not to get your hopes up, I hate the waiting and wondering! X

Hi ladies, congrats to all with BPO, its brilliant news!!! and sorry to all with AF, we'll hunt that witch down together and burn her at the stake so we can all get BFPs!!!
I'm on CD16 and 6DPO so in the middle of the 2ww which I hate because its all I think about lol XXX

I been googling spinning and even with pos opk doesn't always show up on hpt at same time... So I was gonna do another opk tomorrow afternoon then if darker still an hpt on Sunday fmu :)

I feel the same genni! Need to get our bfp's this month.

How are you sunbathing?

Genni, well done on the dtd, really hope you get your bfp this month. How's the temping going? I've been keeping up with it, will be interested to see the rise to confirm ov has happened.

High five detective for your early BFP!! Well done you!! Had a thorough read through your stats - what with everything you did and the timing you did really well to succeed this cycle!! The thing about your DH's strategy was interesting to read, I'll look into that. Was there ever an issue there/had he ever had a semen analysis test done?

Good luck to you genni, sounds like you've put in a good shift there

What's all this about MN closing down tomorrow?! 06:00-14:00 is 12:00-20:00 here which is RUBBISH!! What if someone gets a squinter of a line and needs us?!

Right it's nearly 00:30 and I promised myself I'd try to sleep by midnight so am off!! Night all!!

Right ladies still no af congrats to bfp I hope to be posting good news soon

Nite nite Chandler

Ruby how many dpo are you, when will you poas?

Just gone back to opk I am not obsessed after an hour and the line has settled now at darker than control. I thought they normally fade after the 10min time lapse? Someone pls tell me I'm not quite as crazy as I seem?? Argh I may have to poas tomorrow at 8dpo... When I got my pos opk at ov it was first day that I took an opk - is it possible I coul have ov'd earlier? So maybe am 8 or even 9dpo today?? My estimated ov date CD16

Congratulations sparkle and detective!! Pregtober seems quite lucky so far.
My plan for today was to stop symptom spotting, but then I had a tiny bit of pink when wiping this morning and now i'm into obsession overdive!!!
I'm not as tired and tearful as yesterday. My nipples still feel strange. AF not due till the 18th - why does time go so bloody slowly?!

Haha wanttobe, the only way you'll know is to try an hpt I would poas tomorrow and sun and Monday

wanttobe, my opk's never fade. Last month I wrote the time and date on and kept them all so I could look at the pattern and they stayed the same for a good 10 days. And then I binned them because they are wee sticks and I realised that I was being both gross and crazy

Evening Ladies,

Firstly congrats Sparkle and detective fx for a sticky bean!!

Spinning Glad your dp was in the mood!

Butterfly sorry AF arrived what makes you think you have pcos?

Teenie sounds like you might have missed ov ive done it before.

MaG wow that a lot of symptoms fx for you

Ced Definately only out when AF turns up fully some women get bleeding around AF due date even when pregnant

Jackie definately a symptom...although I had that this month and AF still arrived...good smell toast but no one in my house had any weird

want fx the positive opk means your pg but dtd incase your body geared up to ov last time and didnt and this is ov now.

Havent really had any side effects from clomid yet...although my mouth feels full of saliva but dry at the time its annoying. Had more cramps than normal with AF but thats it.

Hope everyone is ok

Sorry AF got youbutterfly all the best for the November bus.

teenie sounds like the cramps and cm are a good sign you ovulated yesterday. I'd dtd tonight to try and catch that egg! Good luck!

Welcome tranquility FX this is the bus for you

Thanks for sharing the stats Sparkle I think if we're not successful this month I'll be getting on the EPO too. FX for you that it sticks.

Ceds you're definitely only out if you get proper AF, if spotting is not normal for you it's got to be a good sign.

Good stats Detective, reality interesting about your DP increasing the swimmers. Good work!!

Haha frolic I did that with htps last year even when they were negative! I don't know what I expected. This TTC lark does strange things to us all.
