Right, phew! Guests gone, DP at work, now I can concentrate!
Thanks for all the good wishes and vibes! And Saf1 - was just thinking about you today and wondering what had happened to your faint line! So happy for you! I was due on last Saturday, so am technically 5 (?) days overdue. I used the cheapy e-bay test strips (about £3 for 10 inc. postage - bargain!)
I think the difference this cycle (we had been trying since June) was that I felt more hormonal, like the contraceptive pill had really left my system. Just felt a bit more up and down and also really noticed sore (.)(.) around the time of ovulation.
We weren't frantically bding either, just a couple of times before OV - in fact, I was in London away from DP when I ov'd, so just goes to show that those swimmers can really hang on!
Didn't hold back on the booze. In fact, on the Saturday when I ov'd, I must have had about a bottle and a half of red
The other thing I did to aid conception was making sure I had an orgasm after DP ejaculated. Helps to open the cervix and suck the boys up. Luckily, DP is very obliging in that department, but, ahem, I wouldn't have been averse to a bit of DIY if he'd crashed out
Haven't worked out due date yet - but probably mid July ish? Am so chuffed because it means there will only be 3 school years between DD and the little one. And really wanted a summer baby too, because all my family's birthdays are between Nov-Feb! Obviously it is very early days yet though, so nothing is guaranteed.
Baby dust to everyone else waiting to test. No symptoms does not mean no BFP!!!!
Big hugs to everyone who has gone over to December. My advice is to eat, drink and enjoy the festive period! Will keep popping in to check up on you!
