Thanks for the welcome Smile

Sympathies mrsmugoo We're going through a sleep regression/ separation anxiety/ teething bout atm. How old is your ds?

HopeintheAir · 30/04/2015 21:37

Congrats carrotvan!

Fingers crossed for good nights' sleep for all of us. Just had to spend 20 mins comforting DD - think maybe a bad dream? Have just collapsed into bed myself - love an early night Grin

mrsmugoo · 01/05/2015 07:33

Morning all. Just done my first opk on cd10 and it's a circle.

DS is almost 14 months now. Since 8 months he's been a great sleeper! This morning he's back to sleeping through - I've no idea why he woke crying yesterday my only hunches are a) he was cold b) a noise outside disturbed him so last night I fully shut his window and dressed him in a slightly thicker sleep suit.

CarrotVan · 01/05/2015 08:51

Those of you thinking about using opks - did you know Clear Blue are running a research trial where they send you ovulation stuff and pregnancy tests and you send them urine samples and fill out diaries?

CarrotPuff · 01/05/2015 11:39

Ooh congrats CarrotVan! I hope it's another Carrot's turn now Wink

We are in the midst of night wakings too. DS cutting molars. 5.40 start today as well. I'm slightly zombified Confused

Ooh carrotvan that sounds interesting that way you get the fun of testing without paying. How do you find out more details?

Pixie2015 · 01/05/2015 16:56

Hi now CD15 and have enjoyed first cycle with ovulation sticks very exciting to see a test with 2 lines on (ignoring shade of lines) !!!! Apart from the day I got mixed up and wasted the insert of a digital preg test!

have a lovely fertile weekend everyone xxxxx

CarrotVan · 01/05/2015 18:29

Birdbrain - it's here uk.clearblue.com/survey

You fill that out, they call you with more questions within a couple of weeks then if you're eligible and want to go ahead then they send you a consent pack and then a big box of stuff and instructions for your next cycle

Torfhinn · 01/05/2015 19:06

Welcome Mary and Wombat

Congratulations Carrot, so please for you!

I'm madly symptom spotting (CD22), right in the middle of the TWW, based on my shortest cycle, AF could be due next Wednesday, longest cycle, a week Sunday! No symptoms thought except still spotting - since Sunday. Literally have no idea.

I'd kinda like to use the OPK's, but I think DH would be slight Hmm to crack them out so soon. We agreed if TTC takes more than 6 months, then to try...

Torfhinn · 01/05/2015 19:08

*pleased!

and *slightly!

So tired Smile

mrsmugoo · 01/05/2015 22:47

Oh god, my DH has said let's throw the kitchen sink at getting pregnant asap! He's fully on board with the opks. I think he just wants to get crazy broody woman then crazy breastfeeding/sleep deprived hormonal mess woman out of the way as fast as possible!!

waitingforwombat · 02/05/2015 06:53

argh why does time go so sloooooowly in 2ww?! I'm day 8 po, and hoping to hold off till day 15 - anyone else poas next Saturday? I need a buddy to keep me from wasting tests!

DianaOstara · 02/05/2015 08:07

torfhinn everything crossed for you lovely :).

wombat its crazy how slowly 2ww passes and yet this 2 week's before passes so quickly. I'm CD10 here so should be starting to dtd but I've come down with a horrible lurgy and not feeling it at all - now I want time to slow down til I'm better!

Did I hear the rumour mill correctly that KMiddy has gone into labour - eek! I predict a girl called Matilda Phillipa Grin

Queazy · 02/05/2015 08:34

I predict a daughter called Alice Smile

Pixie2015 · 02/05/2015 09:30

Thinking daughter Victoria - 7IlB 3

woundbobbin · 02/05/2015 09:30

No not Matilda we were going to use that if we had another dd saying that Alys is on the list as well maybe I have more in common with k middy that I thought obviously I'm tall very slim and have lovely hair (hahaGrin) TWW here although who knows if I even ovulated nice weekends to all

mrsmugoo · 02/05/2015 10:17

Bloody opk messed up this morning so never actually got a result. Yesterday's stick was still in and I peed on today's before the circle had cleared off the screen. So basically my fault but at 6:30am when you're half asleep and bursting for the loo...

waitingforwombat · 02/05/2015 13:47

Sad spotting today, so looks like Im out....

HopeintheAir · 02/05/2015 16:00

FX for you Torfhinn - I'm CD23 today too! AF due on Thursday and usually bang on time so won't be testing before hand.

Sorry about the spotting waiting Sad.

Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend.

Torfhinn · 02/05/2015 18:01

cycle buddies hope! I have no idea when to test! fx for you Smile

i agree with pixie.. i reckon Victoria!

Torfhinn · 02/05/2015 18:02

sorry to hear wombat x

MarysPrayer · 02/05/2015 21:06

Thanks torfhinn. Sorry about the spotting wombat

Good luck to those in the tww - there are quite a few of you. CD 6 here and bored, bored, bored. Anyone cycle buddies out there?

I had a look in the MN Classics section last night, thinking I might find a funny thread to cheer me up a bit. Instead I readthis thread and sobbed most of the way through. Such a moving story. Have a read (if you've got a spare hour and don't mind being in floods of tears)

CharChar2015 · 03/05/2015 04:10

Hey guys - just officially entered the 2ww too! I'm ready for time to start standing still haha ;)

I ovulated early this month either CD11 or 12 according to the opk. And dtd cd 10/11/12 so I'm hoping I've covered all bases!

Aiming to test on Friday 17th (cd28) if I can wait that long! ShockHmm

PattyODoors · 03/05/2015 07:12

Hi there, I was on this thread a few weeks ago but found out redundancies were afoot at work. Wasn't sure whether to carry on ttc, we turn decided to leave it to nature but didn't massively 'go' for it this month so I'm not optimistic. I'm on CD 20, got twingey ov pains on CD 13. Think I'm now about 6 dpo but not really had any symptoms. Hoping I can join back in here again as the buses scare me a bit!

CarrotPuff · 03/05/2015 09:16

I'm 10-12dpo, not sure when exactly I've ov'ed, but in that window. So AF should come Wed-Fri next week. I'll be pissing over the weekend if she doesn't show up...

Not feeling anything, except yesterday morning was very moody, but then I'm not a morning person Grin
