Who wants to buddy up?!

[sophiabella]

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

Congrats Looking! Hope this is good luck for everybody else!

Ive had positive oaks from my monitor before but maybe becos of the miscarriage I'm out of whack. Last time we had sex was 2-3 days before ovulation x

Congratulations looking first bfp of the thread! Lets hope there's many more to come!! :-)

Yay flashing smiley face this morning!!! Now do I go to everyday now or wait for the solid smiley face do u think?? Will need to do a bit of research today I think on smep and dual hormone indicator opks. Have a good day everyone. Brooke hope u got yours today too :-)

Yay Violet but mine was a circle again today cd13 :( I had a massive stress at Dh last night about it, Ive got it into my head that I'm not ov at all :(

Hi everyone :) thanks sparkles for suggesting this thread! I'm new to mumsnet, DP and I have just started to ttc our first baby so would love to share this journey with others :)

Welcome Sarah, everyone on here is really friendly.
A couple of pages back were everyone's stats.
I'm now month 2 ttc baby 4.

First baby is so exciting. Wishing you all the luck in the world, where abouts in your cycle are you and when are you planning on testing?

2 of mine were conceived in month 1 so.....

Thanks sparkles. I'm not really sure where i am as i've never tracked anything before! I've come off the pill and had my first 'real' period which finished on 14th april so i'm trying to go by what my periods used to be like before (which was 9 years ago!). I think my period would probably be due sometime after 14th may but really it's all a guessing game for me at the moment as i've read quite a lot that after coming off the pill it can take a while for ur body to adjust!

Hope month 2 is lucky for u :)

hiya sarah, welcome to the thread.Brooke I hope you get it tomorrow an can stop worrying x

brooke&violet I'm no help as have never used opk's sorry!
nicky thinking of you and hope things are improving (and that af stayed away!)

sarah what are you doing chatting to us - you should be busy

Haha sparkles maybe tmi but i've already been busy this morning lol and will be again tonight/tomorrow morning!! OH leaves for work for a few weeks again on tues mornin so planning to DTD as much as possible before then!

sarah a few weeks??? This could really irk at the wrong time of the month.
Does he have to travel a lot?
Importantly is he able to get home if he needs to?

Baby sparkles behaved impeccably for Mr S! I had a whole seven hours away with dd1 which was lovely. Baby, ds & Mr S seem to have coped really well! (I'll do the clear up tomorrow!)

weather meant to be pants for the rest of the bh weekend. Think we'll have a quiet one.

Cd 8 now...almost time for action, almost but not quite - sleep beckons!

Does anyone know the deal with prolactin and ttc? Baby sparkles is a total milk monster and at 8 mths am definitely reluctant to wean her BF if she wants it. Down to approx 4 feeds in 24 hours but heard prolactin prevents ov possibly?? Might hop over to the breastfeeding threads and see if anyone can enlighten me.

Hope everyone else ok, catch up soon

maybe good luck with the poas!

Yeah sparkles he goes away for about 3 weeks at a time, he'll be home for 4 days this time then away for 3 weeks again! So he could either be home at exactly the right time or not! However he's only planning on doing this job for 6 months or so to save up and then get on a better contract which would probs be 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off. He could get a flight back if it was an emergency but thats about it!

Another circle for me today :( hope you were busy dtd last night Violet hehe not long until shagathon for you then sparkles welcome Sarah hope everybody has a good bh weekend x

Oh what :-( it must be tomorrow!

Another flashing Smiley today, hope it goes static by tomorrow. Also noticing ewcm for the first time ever yesterday! Still dtd eod until I get that static smiley, so far CD8, 10 an 12.

What's everyone got planned for the bank holiday weekend?

Violet I know you said not to look at the blue lines when you remove the test from the monitor, but today, they were both almost the same shade? So maybe tomorrow or Tuesday is the day?? Or am I getting my hopes up for nothing? You should get the static smiley tomorrow or Tuesday too shouldn't you? :) not much for bh plans, taking the dc to the cinema this morning, is yucky weather here. :(

Brooke are you using the dual hormone one or the normal clearblue one? If the normal one we still could both be at the same stage an get static smileys tomorrow. It says in the instructions the lines don't mean anything, but I think they probably do really. We shall have to wait an see tomorrow x

Thanks brooke hope you and violet get ur smileys tomorrow! (dont know much about the opks but the basics, havent used them). Me and DP are planning on going out for a meal then to the cinema later :) its horrible weather today

Sarah what are you seeing at the cinema, we are going tonight with a friend of DP's , seeing fast and furious. Just about to have a catch up with the last one!

I've been told to empty the bathroom bin (opk wrappers) and the folic acid is in the cupboard lol. DP's friend is a doc so wouldnt take much for him to twig!

violet we are going to see fast and furious too! Haha yeah we had friends round the other week, DPs friend opened the cupboard and was like 'folic acid?'...his GF quickly told him to stop being nosey and changed the subject!

Violet I'm using the normal ones, not dual hormone, so I just get the smiley face and dtd for the next 2/3 days. Just used a cheapy opk and it was negative :( the line wasn't as dark as the control line :( keeping everything crossed for tomorrow or Tuesday, poor dh, we've dtd cd8,10,12 and 14, I pounced on him this morning he couldn't resist me lol

Hope you enjoy fatf, dh saw it a couple of weeks ago, it's not my cup of tea, so he went on.a man date lol

I got a smiley face!

Yay get baby dancing!!!

I got another flashing smiley face :-( I'm thinking though is it worth testing again this afternoon or evening do you think. I'm pretty sure ov is imminent due to ewcm?? If today's ov day but its later on is rather know today, as smep will work out better with my shifts if I can start my dtd a thon today. Or should I just wait? I have no cheapy opks just clearblues....

You could test again this evening, some women test morning, afternoon and night lol. I couldn't justify the expense lol. If you've been.getting flashing smileys for the last couple of days, tomorrow has got to be the day. Probably would be better to.start the dtd marathon tonight, as if tomorrow is ov day for you, there would be today's "product" up there ready for the egg release.
