Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

I'm here! Lol

Issie339 · 30/04/2015 21:32

Hi sparkles I'm here! But as you say, in the crap bit where there's nothing going on. Is anyone still in for April?

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 30/04/2015 21:35

I'm here. Just waiting and waiting and waiting to poas!

VioletIbiza88 · 30/04/2015 22:05

I'm here too, another circle today on opk and try two for smep tomorrow. Still caffeine free, although really wanted a Costa today with my work colleagues. An one work colleague who was enjoying a cappuccino was 31 wks preggers!!

sparklesandfizz · 30/04/2015 22:08

Oooh hey ladies.
maybe are you poas this weekend?
Hiya lovely
issie I am bored. Cd 6, af just clearing off. No dtd action required until next week.
Just sorted out my retur to work after maternity leave finishes. Baby sparkle will be 14 months so can't complain but it really has gone quicklySad
Any exciting plans for BH weekend anyone? (Excepting the baby making of courseGrin

Lovelyjubbly95 · 30/04/2015 22:16

I think I may do a test on Monday or Tues if my progesterone test comes bk saying I did ovulate. Am wanting to do nothing but eat atm, I'm emotional, boobs feel fuller and I'm tired....could be nothing but I hope it's something... Confused

Issie339 · 30/04/2015 22:20

I've been 3 days caffeine free now Grin very proud of myself. I'm cd8 so should be starting SMEP today but OH still not home from work so might have to start tomorrow now.

Wow sparkles 14 months mat leave is good going. I can't wait for mat leave again, only took 6 months last time but going to take longer this time.

Issie339 · 30/04/2015 22:21

Fx for you lovely sounds positive!

sparklesandfizz · 30/04/2015 22:35

Yay for lovely all sounding good.
How did you wangle a progesterone test?

violet&issie I have serious respect for your caffeine free status. (Can't get through the day without approx 8 brews)

Good luck to those smeping this month. Think we'll just see how it goes. Last month I seriously put in the dtd effort ( and with a teething 8 mth old it really was an effort at times - let's not tell Mr S that one hehe!)

Ca nt see us matching that however I shall endeavour.....

At least cycle was bang on 28 days, gives me hope that eggs are around at least.

Wishing time away until 22nd may and a BFP im sure.

Sleep now xx

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 01/05/2015 06:12

Sparkles I'm going to test on saturday. Hopefully my frer's have arrived by then (got 2 for £5.99, cheapest I could find anywhere!).

Lovely If saturdays test is bfn I'll be testing on monday or tuesday. AF due on monday but not always on time.

Brooke113 · 01/05/2015 08:21

Good luck for tomorrow maybe

Welldone Issie on the caffeine free effort :)

Nothing to report at all here, another circle today on ov sticks :( and the blue lines that are there when you take the stick out of the holder don't look like the rest line is getting darker at all day by day, so either I'm not ovulating or I'm going to have a long cycle this time.

Lovelyjubbly95 · 01/05/2015 08:48

Sparkles ? I asked my Dr for a progesterone test as I said I wanted to know if I am ovulating prior to my mc. Also what does smep stand for?? Lol
I will txt on either sun or Monday. Wait it out if I can!!

sparklesandfizz · 01/05/2015 09:39

lovely am liking what you did to my name lol.

Will results be back soon?
Smep is sperm meets egg plan - detailed explanation a few pages back.

Keep us posted on the testing

Have a lovely day ladies, baby sparkles has temp and feeling entirely sorry for herself she knows I was planning on leaving her with daddy and big bro for 6 hrs tomorrow while dd1 and I go out Sad we'll see.....

Lovelyjubbly95 · 01/05/2015 10:47

My results might be in today but possibly Tuesday due to BH :( hate waiting!

sparklesandfizz · 01/05/2015 10:56

Oh fingers x lovely.

Issie339 · 01/05/2015 11:27

Excited to hear your news lovely keep is updated.

sparkles baby sparkles will be fine with daddy sparkles, go and have fun with dd.

brooke I feel like you need hugs so sending you cyber hugs hun. Don't stress about the lines just wait for the smileys, I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm exactly the same as you though, stressing that something is wrong and stopping me getting pregnant so I'm not practising what I'm preaching! Xx

VioletIbiza88 · 01/05/2015 15:41

Brooke, I got another circle too today, its CD10 for me, what CD are you? I'm sure its fine and the solid smiley is on the way for both of us soon but it won't stop us stressing about it, till its here lol!!

I'm just hoping its not going to be really late ov again, otherwise I will see that its a pattern and that will stress me out more as I wont be able to say a 6 day luteal phase was just a one off if that happens... I know I don't sound it but I'm actually a lot more chilled out about things this month, its just that thought at the back of my mind.

Sparkles - hope baby sparkles gets better soon, and wow at 14 months mat leave! How long will everyone want to take this time should they get upduffed then? I would like 12 months (realistically) none realistically about 5 years lol!

Oh an im reading on another thread about pineapple core being good for implantation, so anyone in 2ww just passing that on!

Brooke113 · 01/05/2015 15:58

Violet I'm Cd12, the same cd I think I ov'd on last cycle :( I only have 2 clear blue ov sticks left, so think I may have to get some more tonight. I read somewhere That the first time you use an ov stick it will always give you a circle? So if I use a new pack Monday, I'm worrying about it maybe giving a false result. I'm thinking of maybe putting the new ov sticks in last packs monitor?

Brooke113 · 01/05/2015 17:16

I've got awful stomach cramps too :( praying this means I'm due to ov soon :( the pains aren't on one particular side though which makes me think they're not ov pains

Lovelyjubbly95 · 01/05/2015 17:27

Well according to my progesterone test I started ovulating on Wed when I had it done! :/ think I may well have missed my window. Poo! Still doesn't explain my monitor saying high for last 17 days and not picking up my peak on Wed?? Hmm

VioletIbiza88 · 01/05/2015 17:54

Brooke - yes just use the sticks in the old monitor.

Lovely - at least you have the peace of mind that you are actually ovulating. Did you manage to dtd anywhere near wednesday? Did you say that this is the first time the opks have done this, and you have used them before and had normal results from them? If so I would just think that this month is a one off.

Has this thread disappeared for anyone else? Im only able to find it by typing the title into the search bar??? Dont know whats happened as its not full?

Lookingforadvice123 · 01/05/2015 18:19

Don't think I've updated this thread...I got a BFP on Monday!!! Very excited but apprehensive as I'm so early 4 weeks 5 days!

Good luck to everyone trying this weekend. Bank hol = extra shagging days Wink

Brooke113 · 01/05/2015 18:27

Oh my gosh looking congratulations :) did you do anything different this cycle?

Brooke113 · 01/05/2015 18:33

Just looked back and saw that it was your first month ttc, welldone you!

Lookingforadvice123 · 01/05/2015 18:52

Thank you Brooke. Ye first cycle so we were shocked to say the least! Think it's DH's catholic sperm, all the men in his family seem to get their partners pregnant easily Hmm

We dtd quite a lot though, cycle days 10, 12, 14 and 15. Happy shagging!!!!
