And thanks for the congrats Boobear1983.

Well I think I'm out although no AF (or signs she is on her way even though due today) as BFN with a FRER test and literally zippo line. Am not normally late though so have the annoying positive voice in the back of my head! Just want to know either way tbh!

Mumwannabe82 · 22/12/2014 15:46

Sorry boobear and blimeygirl for the 2ww being extended, as if it needs to be any longer!!! Flowers

Mumwannabe82 · 22/12/2014 15:48

Sorry for the ladies with AF too, nobody would believe how hard TTC is unless they read our forums xx

Congrats Dastardly! Smile x

Congrats Dastardly! This bus is proving very successful!

I'm about 5dpo and scheduled for a hot stone massage tomorrow, but I keep reading things - stupid doctor Google - that suggest it isn't a good idea. The thing is the salon I'm going to is my mums usual so I don't want to say anything if I don't need to - really don't want mum to know we're trying - but I'm not sure if I should say anything or not?! It's just a shame that I'm not a few more days along so I can test.

Anyone got any suggestions? I'm probably worrying over nothing but don't want to think that I have done any damage that could have been avoided.

Other than that I'm starting to feel very Christmassy now! All presents wrapped and just had a family meal.

My mums already started her usual when am I getting grandkids routine - only seen her today for the first time since August!!

Dozygirl · 22/12/2014 21:25

Congratulations dastardly.

Rainy sorry af came. I'm still cheering for u from the sidelines.

Boosk · 22/12/2014 21:40

Yes blueberry that was me, so glad to hear you are doing well.

I just noticed that too dastardly bloody auto correct! An increase in bbt or baby would confirm ovulation. Huge congrats on your bfp!! Thanks Thanks Thanks

Boosk · 22/12/2014 21:56

Sorry af arrived rainy see you over on the January bus.

So pee soaked sticks are on the Christmas lists again this year! Anyone else from the December 2013 bus remember that? Not to be this year, but at least af will be out of the way by Christmas day.

dizzylemon · 22/12/2014 21:57

It's the 22nd and AF has not arrived. I tested on Friday (bfn) but wikk test again before the week is out and let y'all know :)

Right now I am suffering from a pulled back muscle. Totally not a symptom (I would hope!)

xBlueberry88x · 22/12/2014 22:02

Congrats Dastardly

Spinning you cant get rid of me I need to see you get a bfp! There doesn't seem to be anywhere down here that does private scans so I'll just have to wait im only 7 weeks today so heartbeat will only just show!

DastardlyDachshund · 22/12/2014 22:02

Thanks Rainy34, Frolicacid, toothachereturns, Maths88, Dozygirl and Boosk.

Maths88 could you not re arrange the massage? I know it is short notice but maybe give them a call and see if you can re book for early January?

Good luck with testing dizzylemon.

DastardlyDachshund · 22/12/2014 22:03

XPost, thanks xBlueberry88x.

spinningirl10 · 23/12/2014 06:36

Morning Grin

Boosk, haha Yep I remember the pee soaked test talk from last Christmas.....we surely have to have our bfp's next year. Really don't want the same chat in a year......i mean that in the nicest possible wayGrin

Blueberry, woah 7weeks already! That's gone fast.

Off to work for me and then I'm making a gingerbread house with dsGrin

Boosk · 23/12/2014 06:47

Definitely spinning 2015 will be our year! Bring it on! x

Bovnydazzler · 23/12/2014 07:11

BFN for me at 12dpo. I've even checked the binned test just to make absolutely sure. Feeling rough and full of cold, had a cry, but DH been lovely. Wanted to get BFN out of the way so not doing it xmas day and making me feel sad!

It's day 31 of my cycle, doc said clomid will make it a 28 day cycle but lots of Internet reports say different.

Good luck for anyone testing over next few days!

xBlueberry88x · 23/12/2014 07:17

Bovny I cant remember im sorry did you have a scan to prove ovulation? My second month I ovulated 1/2 days later but luckily we covered all bases! Ive also read that clomid has a cumulative effect which is why it works for most people 2nd and 3rd months!

Spinning Its going so slowwww from my end lol

Bovnydazzler · 23/12/2014 07:36

blueberry I'm using your story as proof that clomid doesn't always just work on first cycle or not at all!

I had a scan on my ovaries on day 11 which showed there was one dominant follicle, albeit not huge, but not been scanned since. Did you get a scan after ovulation? I've had the 21 day blood tests. I had a positive opk (albeit with fmu) on cd18 so I've been working on the basis of ovulating cd19, been covering the DTD base from cd7-cd20 plus couple of times since for fun.

dillydollydarling · 23/12/2014 07:47

Got my BFP on Thursday! I'm only 4 weeks so still very early days.

I feel a little guilty that I managed to get pg so quickly when there's people on here that have been trying for ages! I had my coil out on the 30th October, don't think I ovulated the first cycle, and managed to get pg on the second cycle!

xBlueberry88x · 23/12/2014 07:47

My second month they just left me to it! but I definitely ovulated later although the whole cycle was completely different af was lighter and shorter and I didnt get bad ovulation pains. I was actually worried it didnt work and had written the cycle off!

xBlueberry88x · 23/12/2014 07:48

Congrats Dilly

Bovnydazzler · 23/12/2014 08:40

Congrats dilly! Enjoy a healthy 9 months!

Roll on clomid cycle 2! Just hope this cycle doesn't turn into a mega 50+er!

DastardlyDachshund · 23/12/2014 08:42

Congratulations dillydollydarling.

Re the Clomid. I am also proof that it not only works (dc1 conceived on first cycle of using it and dc2 conceived on cycle 4 of using it) but I am also proof that it can help normalise things so conception is possible without it in subsequent pregnancies.
