I promised myself I'd give myself a break from TTC number 2 for a couple of months - but as I approach ovulation this weekend I'm not sure I can help myself Wink

Is anyone else in the same boat as me?

Maybe we can get lucky together...

mumtoason87 · 28/03/2015 17:46

sorry mum yeh was post ovulation. In fact had some day before yesterday and I'm 9DPO today

MissMalteser · 30/03/2015 16:01

Bfn on frer this morning :( but then I'm not sure if I'm 9 or 10 dpo, af due on Friday and I have the worst stomach cramps ever and a low dull ache on my left hand side? Have another one I am going to keep until Wednesday if I can manage it! Hope everyone else is fairing better than I am!

jellypi3 · 30/03/2015 16:14

Not that much better. I have a feeling AF is coming, so i've prepared. Got back ache and crampy, only thing is my boobs are still sore whereas before AF they normally stop hurting.

I'm 9DPO today but have never made is past 9DPO...

mrsfazruns · 30/03/2015 16:55

Stupidly caved this morning at 9dpo .... BFN! Feeling horrendously nauseous today though .... Fingers crossed x

MissMalteser · 30/03/2015 17:06

Eek good luck girls, Im hoping this thread is very busy with updates in the next few days!

piercedprincess · 30/03/2015 19:36

Uggh well I'm in the two week wait but I know it won't be my month. Been horrendously stressed this month and I mean severely stressed every day for the past as OH has had time off work and well, we've been arguing for say, oh 8 days for much of that time!!!! Lol and right over ovulation and post O too, honestly highly doubt my body is receptive to conception this month. That coupled with OH's low motility probably means we're deffo out this month:(

Bit peed off with him about it actually, I know it sounds a bit mean but I do feel like I've missed my chance this month because of him.

On the plus side we did do four at home artificial inseminations with a syringe and then DTD twice, making a total of six times during fertile period so I guess you never know. shrugs

honeysucklejasmine · 31/03/2015 00:03

Hoping for some bfps soon ladies!

jellypi3 · 31/03/2015 13:52

AF arrived for me today so good luck the rest of you

madgiebean · 31/03/2015 18:22

Hi ladies
AF is due in 4/5 days.. I've been having some slight twinges and cramps but it hasn't felt like AF cramps so hopefully thats a good sign! Also in the bath today I noticed prominent White spots around my nipple (sorry tmi) - I know this is probably just wishful thinking but I'm feeling very optimistic this month Grin

patch77 · 31/03/2015 19:42

Rubbish, chlomid hasn't worked again. Just starting our last cycle.

MissMalteser · 01/04/2015 08:48

Patch I'm sorry to hear that Flowers
I think I'm out too, af due on fri but Bfn on clearblue digital this morning, and I know their pretty accurate up to 2 days before, feeling really deflated

jellypi3 · 01/04/2015 10:24

missmalteaser actually the digi's are notoriously bad for early testing. They say they are accurate up to 4 days before hand but that's not true. Best one to get is a first response early result (the pink dye test).

MissMalteser · 01/04/2015 16:02

Thanks jelly, I think I am just going to try to put it out of my mind for the next few days and presume the bfn is right, then anything else is a pleasant surprise!
Anyone else any good news?

laws04 · 01/04/2015 21:12

Ahh sorry to anyone who has got bfn!! Evil af!! MissM hopefully it's a false neg but I get what u mean it's best to keep ur hopes low then if u get bfp even more exciting!!! Good luck!! I'm 4 dpo and having some seriously odd symptoms for me hopefully I'm not just making them up!!! Hmm keeping my fingers crossed this is dragging esp with my long cycles Angry hope everyone's well!! X

princesscupcakemummyb · 02/04/2015 19:11

i am fertile now according to my chart up until weekend so count me in fingers crossed everyone :)

SaltySeaBird · 02/04/2015 19:15

Also said I would avoid a Christmas baby. We skipped March/April when TTC our DD. Twice (over 18 months TTC).

Last year we did the same and skipped March/April.

I'm due to ovulate over the weekend. After 20 months TTC I'm taking every chance I can ... I'd now be delighted to be in labour come Christmas Day!

laws04 · 03/04/2015 12:34

Good luck ladies keep doin the dance ?? hopefully this is our month! I am 6dpo now having vivid baby dreams but also cramping like af due but don't usually get that until af is here!! Anyone doing any tests soon? Keep us updated how u all get on I hate reading posts that don't say what happened!!! I will post once I test next week Easter Smile

epskie · 04/04/2015 10:41

Thought I'd jump on this thread and let you know I got a bfn last week :-) obviously still very early days and I'm so scared after last time but keep your fingers crossed for me :-)

MissM I totally understand your reasoning for believing the bfn on the clearblue digital but just wanted to let you know I've had 7 bfp's on frer, superdrug own brand and adds cheapies and still got a bfn on a clearblue digital! I think I'll be keeping well away from digis from now on as it stressed me out so much!

epskie · 04/04/2015 10:42

Sorry that first line was supposed to say bfp! Doh!

MissMalteser · 04/04/2015 10:53

Oh epskie congratulations! I will indeed keep my fingers crossed for you, I'm sure you're over the moon :) you will have to make sure and update us all!
Well af due yesterday and no sign, terrible heartburn and sensitive nipples yesterday but again bfn this morning! I am usually regular as clockwork and I have none of the usually cramps that signal af so I have no idea what's going on but I am down at our holiday home for a few days and didn't bring any tests with me so hopefully I can put it out of my mind for a while. I do feel my hormones are out of whack but just wish i knew one way or the other!

epskie · 04/04/2015 10:59

Thanks MissM Smile

I've been crippled with heartburn too! Good idea to try and keep it out of your mind, hard though!

I have to say my tests of choice from now on would be superdrug own brand!

laws04 · 07/04/2015 11:02

Congratulations Epskie that's great news!! I poas on 9dpo too early I know!! Low and behold BFN then later on that evening started spotting so I think af is on her way Sad good luck to everyone else
