Evening all, had a very busy day with family so only just catching up!

Letsdothisthing - congratulations!!! Yay! Did you give us your stats? I may have missed them.

Purdey - you think?
I posted a pic of the Saturday opk on here and everyone said it was nearly positive, I then did one sat evening witch was as dark as the control, then on the Sunday it was def darker.
Why would I hate you? Any info gratefully recd... I think our dtd dates are still ok if that's the case right?

mummy I've been testing every day but I said tomorrow was OTD but realised that's actually only 13dpo so now I'm not sure! Sharp running out of tests as well!

Welcome Hayley !

mummyofonesofar · 28/02/2015 22:41

juney it's so tempting when they are there though!

So Google has told me the average LP is 10-16 days including day of ov. So today is still technically "normal" but if AFTER doesn't appear should I call the drs?

PurdeyBirdie · 28/02/2015 22:56

Sammy, I would've thought you ov'd on CD15 in December, no? What dpo are you today and have your temps started to fall?

Juney your chart is far too scrummy to be getting bfn's. What the frig is going on??

PurdeyBirdie · 28/02/2015 22:57

mummy my period came at 16dpo this month.

loopylou1984 · 28/02/2015 23:03

Well 12dpo according to FF or 11 if you're right!
Temp was a little lower this morning (36.59 and yesterday 36.71) but dh had turned thermostat down and I took it a little earlier than usual so I'm not sure!
It will probably drop tomorrow based on previous months, what do you think? X

loopylou1984 · 28/02/2015 23:19

I mean 13 if you're right! X

Riceicle1 · 28/02/2015 23:44

BabyBumpHopeful · 01/03/2015 00:57

Well thanks to my Google Play credit I've purchased a 90 day VIP account on FF so attached is my new pretty graph :)

Symptoms wise I'm still having periodic uterine cramping and loose stool. It's not constant though and like I said before, something I recall from my last cycle.

Something I've been thinking about a bit today is the reality of being pregnant. Right now we're so focused on TTC that it'll be so weird to have that phase over with and the next phase start. Though rationally I know TTC = pregnancy = baby I think It's going to be weird as when it happens thinking positively that it will happen. I think that's why we all (I'm sure I will too) have the strong emotional reaction to that BFP. The "OMG, I can't believe we finally did it!".

I was reading a blog and the woman was very honest with how shit pregnancy was for her. The entire 9 months she was nauseous. Right now I have no experience of this. I have no way to know what it might be like for me. Not really trying to get ahead of myself but trying to mentally prepare for it. I could be sitting here with a little bean starting to form!!

Anyway, hope you're all doing well too :D

coffeenut · 01/03/2015 06:35

congrats Lets! That's so fantastic. Was that implantation dip then at 4dpo? (sorry newbie to all this charting stuff!)

I've done a few more preg tests and all definite negatives now. Interestingly, the hardcore bloat I had going, and the minor nausea and headspins, have also gone. I've been googling and I think it was perhaps a chemical pregnancy, something not quite right, which makes me a bit sad, but better to happen as early as possible than later on.

So, trying not to dwell, maybe I can still stay on the March bus if I get af soon. And enjoying some full strength coffee! Fingers crossed it will happen next cycle.

Fingers crossed for everyone testing from today!

Babybump - most of my friends love(d) pregnancy even with the nausea. You can't really prepare, it might be a breeze or it might be difficult.

DizzyNorthernBird · 01/03/2015 06:51

Morning everyone. Feeling rather fed up this morning, woke up to a temp dip down to cover line. 11dpo (or 9dpo by purdeys calculations) and AF due in 6 days. Symptoms: non existent.

I'm not even going to bother to poas this week unless I see a couple more days raised temps. I refuse to waste tests. Hmpf Sad

MrsWatts · 01/03/2015 07:24

Hello everyone!
Please may I join the bus?
I'm 37, TTC number 1 and this is Cycle 1. My husband had a vasectomy reversal last month so we're not really expecting anything to happen just yet, but... just in case... my AF is due on 17th March!

mummyofonesofar · 01/03/2015 07:28

Sorry coffeenut Flowers I may also treat myself to a coffee. Got a gorgeous cafetière at Christmas with Costa coffee and yummy syrups then gave up caffeine.

Cd34, 16dpo. Biggest temp of this cycle so far - but still not well so illness related I think. I just don't feel pregnant and I'm quite sure bfn at 15dpo is pretty definitive.

Amyyy27 · 01/03/2015 07:32

Morning everyone.

dizzy ive read of lots of women who had no symptoms the month they got pg so dont rule yourself out just yet :) it aint over til the red witch sings!

coffee hope youre ok Flowers hope af turns up soon for you!

Temp went back up this morning, fx it stays up! If not then i have prepared myself for af turning up. 2 interviews and a 30th party to go to with family so a few drinks would be appreciated this month Grin wow.. march already! Lets see those BFPs ladies!

spinningirl10 · 01/03/2015 07:44

Morning Grin

loving all the charts this morning.

Baby, that's a steady rise you have, hope it's a good sign for you.

Mrs, welcome. We had a lady here a few months ago who got a bfp the first cycle after a vasectomy reversal, good luck to you.

Sparkly, how's the tooth ache?

Cd11 here, hoping for my positive opk today.

loopylou1984 · 01/03/2015 08:00

Thanks Letsdothisthing and congratulations again! Smile

Babybump - lovely chart!!

Coffee - sorry for the bfns... This is why I'm avoiding testing, I hate seeing them

Dizzy - sorry your temp has dropped... Mine will probably do the same tomorrow.

For now it's still up - chart attached

Juney - any news?? Xx

Hairstylisttoboris · 01/03/2015 08:00

So Ovia told me to test this morning. Bit early thought I. But as Ovia told me to, I dutifully did. I cracked open a packet of superdrug frers, peed in my Ramiken and dipped the stick. Set it down and waited for the test line. And waited. No line at all. So there was me flapping round frantically reading the instructions 4 times over and muttering about dodgy tests and waste of money when I realised I had it upside down. On turning it over: bfn. I think I'm to stupid to get preggers. Doh.

letsdothisthing · 01/03/2015 08:02

Morning all, temp rose again this morning so feeling a little more confident about yesterday's BFP today as I was a but concerned the temps were going back down, just fx they stay up now, think the mc has a lot to answer for regarding my nervousness!

Used ic cheapies for ovulation, found them ok, also get ov pains on the day of my second positive OPK which I noted at cd19, didn't DTD all month, focused around ov this time.

Symptom wise, had noted fatigue, frequent urination and not a lot more but what made me test yesterday was the feeling of a boiling hot head, felt like a furnace behind my face so thought I would POAS!

coffee, really not sure about the implantation dip at cd4, I didn't think it happened so early but I'm no expert Confused I do recommend charting though to anyone looking to try something new! Fingers crossed for a BFP waiting in the wings and taking a little while to show for you!

babybump, your chart looks great! Fx for you!!!

letsdothisthing · 01/03/2015 08:05

Sorry hair, how many dpo are you?

sammy, chart looks great, when is BFP due?

loopylou1984 · 01/03/2015 08:13

Well Tuesday according to FF but Purdey thinks it's a day out so that would be Wednesday (and she has a good record of getting these things right!)
I hate this waiting part! Xx

Hairstylisttoboris · 01/03/2015 08:18

Let's im 11/12 do and ad due tomorrow by my reckoning or today by Ovias wrong calculations

raviolig · 01/03/2015 08:58

Hello, please can I join the march bus, late straggler over from February after AF arrived yesterday, last day of the month. This will be 2nd cycle ttc for baby number 3. Had a long journey ttc with my first, not so long with the second, but really hoping we get there soon with no.3. Though if I got pregnant this month baby would be due same week as my ds who also shares a birthday with his grandma, just before Christmas! Busy time. But all is good. Enjoying a cup of coffee due to AF but planning to stop and be healthy this month. Fx for lots if bfps this month xxx
