AF arrived:

No-one yet!

Just marking my place!!

This has been such a happy day for bfps!!!!

Oh such happy news! I'm tearing up here. Little party for all the bfp's!

Yes little gabriel took 20 months post mc. I thought I was completely broken as I used to just peg out male washing and find myself up duffed. But Dh and I found it really hard to have our own children. We did get there in the end though

Congratulations to all those with BFPs! Wonderful news

Aww I hope you're right Rainy! :)

I'm off to bed, got a sore head as I bumped it earlier. Ouch. Night all x

Such a happy thread here tonight! It's lovely

So happy for the bfps and yes come on the old timers!!! how awesome would it be if we all got bfps this month!

blueberry has certainly given me renewed hope that it will happen eventually for all of us!!

misty love the way you told DH I'll be hoping all month I get my BFP now so I can tell DH in a similar way.

And claire fx for tomorrow!

Ps mrsE I love love love the name Gabriel. It's on my list.

Genni dh worried it was a bit girly when we first chose it, but he's such a pickle, naughty angel is about right ;-) he's sometimes Gabe which is a nice shortening. he's got a crop of long (probably too long) blonde hair too. He's my little ray of gorgeousness amongst my moody teenagers! ;-) can't wait to see what this one looks like

Such lovely, positive vibes on this thread tonight. Long may it continue.

Another vote here for spinning and treacle to be next. and me obviously

I hope you are enjoying celebrating your graduation to ante-natal tonight blueberry. Please don't forget to keep an eye on the bus. Your support, knowledge and advice has been invaluable to me and many others.

I'm typing with my bum up on a cushion . I really hope I get my temp rise and go back to negative opk's tomorrow - I'm shattered!

I love your description of cheeky angel Gabriel mrsE.

Hi everyone! Jumped over from the previous thread. Congrats to all on your BFPs, amazing news! December seems to be shaping up quite nicely!

CD 11 here, usually ov around 15/16. We are doing AI at home due to health issues and I wondered if anyone had any advice on whether dtd every other day is more beneficial than every day? Don't want to miss out! Hoping for a sparkly BFP from Santa.. Due 19/20th Dec.

Hope everyone enduring the TWW is coping and sending baby dust to all!

Ninja- hope you are doing well after your doc app!

Frolic- I'm just off my cushion here too

Sparkly123 to answer your question that you put on the previous thread:

*"Can I ask everyone's opinion on dtd consecutive days or every other day? We are doing Artificial Insemination at home due to health problems. Using OPKs and today only a faint line but my temp has taken a real drop.

Let me know your thoughts on consecutive/every other day! "*

I've been wondering about this too after having done it every day last cycle, to no avail. From what I have read, unless the man has particular problems with sperm quality there is no downside to doing it ED, and statistically it can only increase your chances. However if you do it EOD for the 5 days before OV and on OV day there is still a very high chance that sperm will meet egg (fertilisation, implanation etc are another matter of course). I'm at the stage where I want to do everything to max out our chances but I can already sense DH flagging when I ask him to get to it on consecutive weeknights, he works pretty late and is usually v tired (our sex life outside TTC is holidays and weekends-only, by mutual consent, both Saturday AND Sunday mind ). he wants to do everything too but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he hits a wall and can't do it, and I don't want him to feel guilty about that. Tricky.

Awake and full of cold bleurgh!

Thank you for being so lovely im not going anywhere yet id miss you guys!

Temp drop this morning along with the spotting means I'm out. Shorter lp this month too. I'm 9dpo today. Feeling deflated. Onto the january bus.

I am 5dpo and had a temp dip of .25 degrees this morning, this is my first time so not sure if that means anything?!
Help me ladies, what should I be looking for and when?!

Just marking my place and leaving my stats again.

BeauticianNotMagician81 33 ttc#4, Cycle 2,BFP due 25th December

I'm ill at the moment with tonsillitis so I'm hoping it doesn't impact on ttc. We are having February and March off as we already have a Christmas Eve birthday so don't want another one around that time.

CD7 here so nothing exciting to report! In the middle of taking SI & feeling the headaches more this time and have acupuncture booked for Friday for an extra boost; more out of curiosity than anything!

Congrats to all with BFPs!!

Morning nothing to report oh blimey last time I was in limbo it's because I had a break through af cow bag but nothing everything gone like clockwork this month

Hi can I join please? Need to find a cosy bus to jump aboard :-)

Alien11 ttc#2 cycle 6 bfp 12th dec or 19th dec ( cycle changes from 28 to 35 days!)

Roll on planning for a boozy fun relaxed Xmas.. Surely after barely drinking for months the bfp will come to mean I can't have an Xmas tipple ;)

I'm on cd19 with no positive on cb digital opk yet...trying to relax with dtd.
I know I need to get healthier as little underweight and my diets not too great. I started at the gym 4 weeks ago and am loving it. Last week caught dd bug cue illness and losing weight! Booo.

Huge congrats to everyone with bfps. We will all be there soon!!!!

Morning ladies! Can't believe there's a new thread already, will read up later, just wanted to say a massive congrats to those with bfp's already, especially those who've been trying for a while. Well done, hopefully the rest of us will be joining you in getting off the bus very soon!!

Ok gone through last six month cycles except for the 1 month that went hay wire I am usually 24/25 day cycles I am on day 26/27 started spotting day 25 and 26 days ago full af 27 days ago

Just checking in..

.Blueberry Aaaaaaaaahhhh! How exciting! Congratulations!! Xx

Congrats to our other bfps too. :)

Thank you Frolic, it's like a reality show :p voting for who is next in line.

How lovely to see those words Blueberry :)

Great to see your digi blueberry!

bovny if you're having an external scan u need a full bladder, but if its internal you need an empty bladder. They usually do internal to look at ovaries though. Does it say which on your letter? The first time I went I had to have both though. Had the external full to bursting (!) Then they let you pee and do the internal one! Good luck!

Morning everyone else! Urgh can hardly move this morning. Really bad sciatica. Considered calling in sick!

Morning ooh it's a cold one!!

Thanks frolic and rainy, I'd love to see us all with bfp's in the festive season!

Sparkly, I don't know anything about AI at home sorry. Linda used to do it, her dh used to do his thing and she'd quickly scoop it into a soft cup(or maybe he'd do it into the soft cup) then she'd pop it in with a little sperm friendly lube. It worked for her
On your other question, I would dtd as much as you can. I'd rather do it everyday over fertile time but dp works funny hours so it isn't always possible or he's not in the mood!

12dpo and still not poas dont think it's our cycle.
