Thanks Girls!!, enjoying a few glasses of wine tonight!!

Toots did tonight and the sleep in the spare room after lol!!!

DastardlyDachshund · 19/12/2014 19:49

toots jump your DH I'm afraid then send him to the spare room after while you keep your legs in the air for a bit Xmas Grin. You should ov in the next 12-48hrs I believe. I'd repeat over the next couple of days to be sure, then it's the waiting game.

Sorry Af arrived Rainy. Do you have the clearblue fertility monitor? If so, you should set the time at around the time you'd usually get up. It will ask for a test stick on certain days with a 6 hour window so setting it for example for 6am means you can test between 3am-9am on testing days.

Rainy34 · 19/12/2014 20:05

Dastardly - its the old style fertility monitor, thanks for the advice, going to see if this helps

tootsroots · 19/12/2014 20:21

Hehe.. i have texted him to ensure he is ahem... of use to me... made up spare bed.... eating a thai for good measure... and will have to REALLY work my wiles... might even shave the winter fur on my legs

So excited as this is the first time since i started testing ov in Aug that it went positive in my three cycles!

I don't even mind about a BFP more excited about ov! yeah right

Frolicacid · 19/12/2014 20:22

Yipppeeee nutella!

You need to get busy by the look of that opk toots! I second everyone's advice - shag him, then send him to the spare room Xmas Wink

victoria401 · 19/12/2014 21:26

Proper cramping now, I reckon its another middle of the night start :-(

Rainy34 · 19/12/2014 21:30

Oh Victoria i hope not, i woke up this morning crampy, its just total s**t!!

victoria401 · 19/12/2014 22:19

Yes rainy its very shit Sad This happened last month. Nothing on due date then af arrived in the middle of the night. I was up at 4am searching for pain killers and tampons and rolling around in agony :-( gonna put a stash of supplies next to the bed.

Night everyone x

Boobear1983 · 20/12/2014 00:26

Hope you're feeling ok victoria. I'm now cd41, very unusual for me. A few twinges in my lower tummy, more cm then usual, but no other symptoms. Ordered some tests which I'll do when they arrive

Sparkly123 · 20/12/2014 01:00

Hi everyone

I haven't managed to catch up yet will do Tomor but hope everyone is ok.

My update is: AF arrived! Horrendous night from 1am lots of intense pain that kept me up most of the night today has been easier but still pretty bad. So not ideal! But at least i now know where I stand and AF will be out the door by Xmas! My next cycle OV date is New Year's Eve so I'll be trying again around then which isn't long away!!.. 2015 BFP please!!! Feel strangely more relaxed now I know the state of play, think was losing my mind this TWW!... I MUST chill out a bit more next try... What are the chances?!? Xmas Wink

Will read back but quickly saw some news on this page-

nutella amazing!!! Congrats to you what a special Xmas pressie!!

rainy looks like I'll be seeing you on jan bus? Flowers to you

victoria sounds just like me!! So sorry to hear you are in pain too hope it's not as bad as expected. It's awful eh. Even when I get painkillers in it's still terrible! Worst ever when it's during night! Sending positive thoughts to you and really hope you are ok Flowers

JessieMcJessie · 20/12/2014 03:27

Congrats Nutella! AF has arrived so off to the Jan bus for me, with lots of festive DTD over the new year. Happy Christmas everyone!

victoria401 · 20/12/2014 06:31

Sorry af arrived sparkly, Jesse, anyone else I've missed...

Rudely woken by horrendous cramps just before 6 this morning. Painkillers next to bed are swallowed but making no difference yet! Ouch! Got to get ready for work in a bit. Urgh. So yes, I'm out, again. Trying to decide where to try this month or just go straight for treatment when the next cycle starts without the added stress of the next 2ww....

MrsGingerbread · 20/12/2014 06:35

Sorry to those of you who have had apre-Christmas visit from the witch.

victoria hope your pills kick in soon

spinningirl10 · 20/12/2014 06:45

Morning Grin

Victoria, sparkly and Jessie, sorry af arrived for you all. Sparkly and Victoria, yours sound like they made an awful appearance! Hope the pain eases off for you soon Victoria Thanks

Busy day ahead for me at work.......happy Saturday ladiesGrin

victoria401 · 20/12/2014 06:53

Just re-read! I meant WHETHER try not WHERE to try lol!!! We usually try in bed hahaha! [Grin]

Rainy34 · 20/12/2014 07:14

Sorry sparkly , Jesse and Victoria that she came , she certainly blew us all out yesterday and this morning , utter bitch!!!

Have you got a time limit Victoria to when you have to use the treatment by or decide when you want to start using it ?, hope whichever way you choose that you get your bfp!!!

Bovnydazzler · 20/12/2014 07:22

sparky victoria and jessie sorry that the witch has been round spreading her Christmas un-cheer.

Mrs impatient here, I tested at 9 dpo and BFN. Thought it may have nicely explained the nausea feeling, but it must just be linked to the cold and cough bug I've picked up.

victoria401 · 20/12/2014 07:25

We've now been trying the obligatory 2 years that our clinic requires to be eligible for treatment. We've signed all the forms and had our my needle injection lessons so ready to go! I can just call up when my next af starts and get my drugs and further instructions. The only reason why I can't start this month is bloody Xmas holidays when the clinic shuts. The only thing that will hold us back is dh's sperm test. He's got that Jan 13th and next af due Jan 18th. If the results aren't back in time or his sperm has rapidly gone down hill then there will be no treatment! (or not til Feb if its the former)

Good luck next cycle, cycle buddies!

victoria401 · 20/12/2014 07:30

Oh, dh had already had 2 Sa's but this one is to make sure it's currently good enough for insemination as he's been ill and on antibiotics and steroids all of Oct which could have made his 3 month down the line sperm shite. If they are shite it will prob be a few more months down the line it will be good again. Oh the uncertainty.....

Sorry for the bfn bovny, too early! Control yourself woman!

Maths88 · 20/12/2014 08:10

Really sorry for all those who've got AF

Congrats Elley and Nutella - what wonderful news at this time of year.

Well I think I'm in the tww but not entirely sure if I did ovulate or not.

Flying back to England today. Seriously hope my mum doesn't bang on about me getting pregnant like she normally does!

CoffeeTwo · 20/12/2014 09:40

Hi all. I've ovulated way later than normal this month. CD29 ffs! So my stats will need changing to testing on the 31st please. I'm looking into soy to see if it can help regulate my cycles a bit.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 20/12/2014 09:44

Oh no sorry af arrived for Sparkly,Jesse and Victoria. At least it should be finished by Christmas so no horrid cramps over the holidays.

My af is due Monday or Christmas Day. I'm not going to test this time as last month I wasted about 6 tests. I'm pretty sure I'll be on the January bus.
I still only have creamy cm and I'm tired. With all my other pregnancies I always had the urge to pee lots and I haven't had that so pretty sure I'm out.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 20/12/2014 09:47

I'm going to try temping next month along with using cb digital opks. I tried to be relaxed about it buts it's obviously not working. Must try harder next month

Mumwannabe82 · 20/12/2014 11:06

Hi everyone, just been reading back from the last few days and want to say how sorry I am for the ladies with AF!! Hope you are keeping strong and keeping the hope alive which is definitely easier said than done XXX
Elley and Nutellla, many congrats, what a lovely Christmas present to have Xmas Smile

Mumwannabe82 · 20/12/2014 11:10

At 5dpo today although FF not confirmed OV this month because I had a dip at 2dpo and today had another dip with a bit if brown spotting! Think its too early for implantation so not feeling positive about this month but we shall see what happens! Due on 27 Dec so might test on Christmas day so I know if I can drink and obviously it will be a lovely pressie if its bfp!! Xxx
