Toad, I won't test before Monday which would be 14 dpo for FF or 12dpo if I'm being realistic!

Purdey boo for temp drop, but at least the waiting is over. X

Mummyofonesofar · 28/03/2015 11:02

purdey sorry about temp drop. A weirdly long cycle off clomid though. Maybe it's promisong for next month! Fx for you.

wotsits1 · 28/03/2015 11:04

Heir sorry you are suffering woth morning sickness... but its a fab sign that your little sticky bean is sensing your hormones crazy!!! Grin Are you gonna find out what your having?

wotsits1 · 28/03/2015 11:05

Purdey sorry about the temp drop. How did Nancy sleep?

Pixa · 28/03/2015 11:06

purdey Sorry for the temp drop - I hope I didn't offend you with the dream talk?

DizzyNorthernBird · 28/03/2015 11:07

I very rarely have dreams. When I do have them they're blatantly stress/anxiety related. Usually they involve falling down stairs, being trapped in a falling lift, trying to swim to the surface while struggling not to breathe, crawling through tiny doors and trying not to get stuck.....I could go on.

Am I a freak? I'm usually quite confident and grounded! Lol Grin

DizzyNorthernBird · 28/03/2015 11:09

dizzymerry well done on the four days on the trot. I have such respect and envy for you ladies who manage that and have dh's willing to oblige!

Pixa · 28/03/2015 11:12

DizzyNorth I am with you on the envy and respect for pthat one - a willing DH for four days would be great. I think I am just going to plan lots of trips or weekends away around ovulation to entice him! Ha ha.

Oysterbabe · 28/03/2015 11:20

My OH is a star and will perform whenever asked. I know I'm very lucky Smile
Sorry about the temp drop purdie

wotsits1 · 28/03/2015 11:22

I have weird dreams on occasion. I quite like a freaky dream every now and then. Keeps things interesting!

I'm dead lucky with my dh... he generally just does what he's told in the dtd stakes. Although next month he's asked me to put the dates I need him in his blackberry then he'll just know when to turn up, rather than me having to remind him constantly. This month we did 4 days consecutive but last month I had NO clue on ov and those bloody dual hormone clear blue gave me 6 flashy Smiley's. we ended up doing it 11 times in a week! Think he was concerned he'd go blind.

HeirToTheIronThrone · 28/03/2015 11:37

Wotsits I don't know... I don't think I want to. But DH really does. He reckons he will get them to tell him and keep it secret?! I think that will not work!

DizzyMerry · 28/03/2015 11:41

Dizzy and Pixa believe me when I say it's not been an easy journey! When we were ttc #1 DH would drag his feet or we would argue about things. FIL never liked me and made sure he voiced his opinions and I felt unsupported by DH as he wouldn't stand up to FIL or say anything to him and it impacted on us. Then we'd started ttc and he would say he wasn't sure and we stopped. He carried on like this for a year so we weren't really trying at all. I reached the end of my tether and hated crushing disappointment of are we/aren't we? I told him how I felt and that we shouldn't even be contemplating having children considering our situation. I got to the point where I was ready to walk. I think that was DH's turning point. He became committed and I once again was with the man I love and married. He stood up to FIL and to this day he hasn't made any comments and is nice as pie. When we tried again for a year and nothing was happening we had investigations and found out I had issues, DH felt immensely guilty about the way he had behaved and kept apologising. I even told him he was free to walk but he said he wanted to be with me and nobody else. From then on he has been nothing but supportive and will happily try whenever we need to. He still remembers those times and will apologise from time to time. In the end it took us 3 years to have DD. Our relationship is now stronger than ever.
Sorry that's so long and it's not something I've ever talked to anyone about. I guess what I wanted to say is that we all have or have had our issues and things haven't always been easy even though they may look it from the outside. We all have our little struggles and I wish you both all the luck in the world for your bfp's and that goes for everyone else too.
I wanted to share this with Mrsb yesterday but didn't want anyone to think it was inappropriate and too much info

toadierocks · 28/03/2015 11:45

Ah weird dreams are the worst, they have you pondering on there hidden meaning all day long! I've always had bonkers dreams and often wake DH up in the middle of the night sleep-talking. Haven't had any preggars or baby dream this month tho yet Hmm

Oyster - totally understand the frustration and 'pee or not to pee' dilemma, the last 2 days of dpo are the worst! possible implantation bleed is a good sign tho! keep the faith and if you can hold out then you can join me and Sammy on Monday.... TMI warning..... since my difficult birth with DD where I had a bad tear, I have a sprinkler effect going on so POAS is difficult to aim so I'm planning to get a big bowl, like a salad bowl and then chuck as many sticks in a possible and then run away fro a few minutes! so on Monday I will be PIASB (peeing in a salad bowl) to try and get my BFP.......now there's an image for ya Grin

purds Sorry for the temp dip...... does that mean you're definitely not going POAS anymore....not even a ninja one? - I don't temp so I don't know what a drop means x

toadierocks · 28/03/2015 11:50

dizzy just caught up on your post, so lovely that you and DH are supporting each other, and great that he stood up to FIL, lovely to read your story Flowers

Oysterbabe · 28/03/2015 11:51

Ok l'll stay strong and poas Monday with you guys, it's a date. I want to avoid a false negative and I will only be 14dpo then.

Pixa · 28/03/2015 11:51

DizzyMerry, thanks for sharing your story. It seems like TTC-ing has made you and DH much stronger. It's good to hear that we're not alone in finding our feet as a TTC couple. Smile

I think for us, it's just tiredness to commit to DTD. We both work, quite stressful roles, DH then goes to the gym four times a week and I try to go often (personal training session quite shortly actually!) but by the time we get home, we're knackered. Our sex life has definitely improved, but it won't be every day unless we're away from the office I imagine. I have to say DH really is committed to TTC. He is unbelievably excited and admitted that he does get 'broody'. I always try and think of how I will tell him I am pg when it's time, but I don't think I will have the opportunity to surprise him because he always knows when AF is due and asks if I have 'used the good pee' yet...

victoria401 · 28/03/2015 11:54

Sorry for looming af purdey :-(

I had wierd dream the other night that everyone at work was preg apart from me was preg and we all went to this youth hostel thingy and there werent enough beds for everyone. I had to sleep on a dirty old duvet on the floor in the hall coz I wasn't preg :-(

Cd11 I had copious ewcm, now on cd13 I'm dry as a bone! Not had a pos opk yet, running out of my 50 pack ics. Do I buy another pack? Surely I wont need them next month as I'm getting preg this month!

Sparkly123 · 28/03/2015 12:10

victoria you don't need them Wink you are def getting preggers! Enjoy Zumba!

Purdita Urgh for temp drop. What lovely things do you dh and N-Dolly have planned for this weekend? Hope there's some twirls in there. Flowers

Spinning oh no! Gutted about the brownies!!! Sorry you are having such a hard time with dtd just now. On the plus side- you have still managed to follow through and get the job done, although I imagine it's small consolation if it wasn't great. Hope later on is better and you have a lovely Saturday! Cake

You lot and all your dreams! Love them! Ha. I dont have any random dreams to report from last night . When I did get a BFP I had a dream the night before that I did. Grin

Sammy and Oyster sounds good !! Hold on! Not long to go!! I know it's so difficult holding out, but try try try your best. It's not worth it testing too soon! Flowers

DizzyMerry I think I've said this to you before but it's lovely you and your dh have been so strong through all your struggles. It sounds like a really solid relationship and I'm glad he is so supportive of you now. Let's hope that BFP shows up for you both very soon! Flowers

Sparkly123 · 28/03/2015 12:12

Glad the dh/dps are trying to make it up to you lovely ladies today!! Dont let them off lightly! Ha ha. Flowers

Sparkly123 · 28/03/2015 12:12

Hi preggers Heir and Giddy hope you are both ok minus the nausea etc. Hmm

frogbubbles · 28/03/2015 12:13

Wosits you did he who shall not be named? What a crazy dream!

Dizzy good luck with the 8miles today and the parent visiting, same to you dojo have a lovely time with parents, hot cross buns wow! Let us know what recipe you use

Aww pixa that totally sucks ass when someone does that. I made up all kinds of crazy names with DS and kept the real one to myself.

MrsB good luck with the mil today. Deep breaths and to ten or twenty

MrF is currently on sofa feeling sorry for himself. He's also expecting me to run round after him as he is "poorly" hungover is the correct term and he can go forth and multiply if he thinks I'm going to be his post night out slave I've bought myself a jigsaw (not the puzzle kind) and a drill and think this is a perfect day for DIY especially the loud drilly kind

Sparkly123 · 28/03/2015 12:16

Mrsb super strength for the mil- StarStarStarStar

Pixa are you using OPKs did you say? If you feel you are pretty sure when you OV I would say forget charting just now. It's been helpful for me as I'm doing AI and need to know when to stop once I've OVd, but otherwise , the more I've learned about charting the more I see it's a bit of a lottery for detecting pregnancy which let's face it is what we all wanna know! Grin Wotsits is coming up with a device to detect egg fertilisation shortly so I would hold out for that first... Wink

eskimolaura · 28/03/2015 12:16

Hi again everyone, my internet connection has been on and off like my EWCM for the last two days! So frustrating when I'm trying to get onto the next page of this bus and I'm just seeing a blue screen with 'issues'. I hate our Internet provider. We don't have a choice as KC is the ONLY internet and phone provider for Hull and many of the surrounding areas. Angry

Purdey sorry about the temp drop my lovely Flowers

Hope those whose OHs are being blends (loving that word) are ok and that they've stopped being dicks. Flowers

We've just had M&S Kentish Bramley Apple Hot Cross buns. They are a whole new level of delishousness. Nom nom nom.

Pug I'm trying not to pay much attention, but I think I may have had more EWCM. We're not actively trying right now, so it won't make any difference, but it is a good sign ain't it? I've also had some twinges. I'm really hoping that the US on Wednesday will be able to tell me if I've ovulated... but I don't really know if it will.

I got a letter through about my HysterinsertcomplicatedlexisofprobableLatinetymologyhereogram. I have to call them to confirm that I still want it. In the letter it said that there had been a lot of appointments that people hadn't turned up to, so they needed me to call in order to put me on the waiting list. I told DH as I thought that was a bit odd and he said it could be because people get onto the waiting list and then maybe get preggers and don't turn up, so they want to prevent that as much as possible by double checking first. That sounds plausible.

Hope everyone is having a nice Saturday. I watched my first ever episode of The Kardacrapians... the jury is still out, but it will never replace The Little Couple. I love, love, love that programme.

Sparkly123 · 28/03/2015 12:16

Dizzy you domestic goddess .. Share the buns around! Good luck with the run.. Shock
