Today I'm 4 days past ovulation- I think. So that makes me due AF 8th May.

I'm 27, and first month ttc #1.

Just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat?

Evening all!

Vap0, as predicted my normally clockwork AF is late and clearblue says 'no'.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

LastOneDancing · 07/05/2015 20:40

Charms is your family excited?

Have you done any tiny clothes browsing yet?

Vap0 · 07/05/2015 20:47

LOD it must be driving you mad!
All this waiting is making me go nuts!
My app said af should have started today, I thought Sunday. I thought I was spotting, light pink on tissue yesterday, tiny bit of bright red on a tissue this evening. Don't tend to spot before af. Nothing else yet. Hope soy hasn't messed my cycle up...
Hurry up af

Charms85 · 07/05/2015 21:05

LOD I heard clear blue are not sensitive?

Family are excited! And yes I've brought everything in my head ha, when is it ok to start buying?

LastOneDancing · 07/05/2015 21:56

They're 20mmg so not brilliant but supposedly 99% accurate on the day of your missed period, so I'm definitely just late!

I bought a little set of cream bodysuits just before my 12 week scan as a bit of an act of faith that everything was going to be fine.

Oh it's all coming flooding back Charms! The best thing ever was washing all the tiny clothes for the first time in the special baby powder and hanging them out to dry, knowing my baby would be wearing them soon .

I'm SO broody.

NeverShutsUp · 08/05/2015 10:15

Aww lod how annoying! Sod's law isn't it! & yeah wait till you get them out for your second you can't believe your first was ever that small! I'm in denial mine is 3 next week!

Buy when you want charms, I didn't believe I was actually pregnant till I had that scan so didn't get anything! Got a few things after that but it wasn't until 20weeks I went and got the rest! I never found out the sex either with mine!

LastOneDancing · 08/05/2015 12:39

It's here! Hurrah!

I had a surprise too Nev. I wanted DH to tell me the sex - meaningful moment and all that - but as the surgeon pulled him out he boomed 'oooh he's a BIG BOY!'. DH just looked at me and said 'er, it's a boy'. Grin

NeverShutsUp · 08/05/2015 12:45

Woo. May is going to be a good one, I can see it happening! Although for us we aren't really trying this month as DH due to be away but not stopping it, so maybe june for us! Let time tell I suppose!

Ha ha brilliant. I wanted them to tell me with mine and I was like you just tell me ive just pushed that thing out I don't want to start looking haha! I told the midwife all this second time round to avoid a repeat!

Vap0 · 08/05/2015 13:58

snap LOD
AF has arrived here too Grin
Yahoo!
Roll on May ttc
Phone app now says "most fertile days" are 18th - 23rd May
AF will be due 4th June taken with a pinch of salt
CD5 will be Tuesday 12th May for my Clomid start date
CD10 will be Saturday 16th May to stop taking Clomid
3.6lbs to lose before Monday.....Yikes!
OPK's from CD11 onwards
never my niece is going to be 3 in a couple of weeks. Such a fun age Smile
New niece is on her way too - due date Monday 11th, very exciting stab in the heart
LOD & Never you are so lucky already having little ones (sob)

Weekend of booze ahead, but not too much as supposed to be on a diet! Then Rome, more booze!
Home and then get busy ttc Grin
Lucky to have so many distractions!
Never you must be near ovulation now do you think? Hopefully you'll be the next BFP!
Fay any news about AF?

LastOneDancing · 08/05/2015 14:32

Drop ALL gluten, stick to protein and drink gallons of water are my top 'lose 3lb in a week' tips! It's so exciting Vap, I will have everything crossed for you.

Yep, my app says the same about fertile days etc. except my AF is due Sat 6th when I will be on holiday! So tough decisions to make - do I take tests with me or just see if it turns up?!
I'll only be 9dpo when we fly. I might just take my one precious FRER, I can shove it in a sock hidden away from the bin rummager DH.

It would be quite nice to find out on holiday i think. And also no crappy AF to spoil my fun.

NeverShutsUp · 08/05/2015 16:30

Wow your a busy bee this month vod at least you are going to be able to take the clomid this month! And you'll have your babies soon! I'm the crazy one wanting them all close! And 3 is very fun but also very very testing! The attitude!

lod holiday would be a nice time to find out! Or maybe when you just get back? Haha have to hid it well from the bin rummager Grin

Yes most fertile days apparently 10th to 14th, AF due 28th!

Vap0 · 09/05/2015 10:44

Eek! I'm off to meet a newly pregnant friend for lunch today...
One of these "we weren't even trying" lot. She knows all about our struggles. Fingers crossed she doesn't go on and on about how great it is to be pregnant and all the planning they have been doing for a nursery and all the stuff they have bought for new baby...
I think I'm going to have to make it a swift one.
I'm so cross with myself for being like this, she moved away about 4 years ago and this is the 1st time we have finally been able to coordinate a meeting. And all I want to do is get in and out of there as quick as I can. SadEnvyConfused

NeverShutsUp · 09/05/2015 11:53

vap don't worry about it! You are allowed to feel upset hun, and If she knows about all your struggles she should be supportive and not going on and on about it!

Go with a positive attitude about all you have got next month and she might surprise you.

Faybelline · 09/05/2015 12:24

Hi girls, AF is on her way.. Although I'm intrigued as to what this will be like as its my first period without the copper coil so hopefully it will be light & less painful!?

I can't remember who was saying they are having soy?? I found this on my ovia app..

OP posts:
LastOneDancing · 09/05/2015 15:26

Hope it went okay Vap and you managed to find common ground away from pregnancy & babies? Those situations are tough Sad

Vap0 · 09/05/2015 16:18

Just about survived lunch, good job I'm pretty tough. 3 and a half hours hearing about an accidental pregnancy, adjusting wedding dresses to fit the bump and how it's not much fun bring pregnant is about as much as I could take. It's difficult not to talk about, I don't blame her, I'd imagine I'll be intolerable when I finally get caught, I'll be so excited!!
I took soy fay it's dubbed the natural clomid. It's only really recommended if you don't ovulate yourself or if your lp isn't long enough to support implantation.
Are either of those issues for you? If so I'll try to find the thread where a really helpful mumsnetter explained all about how and when to take it.
It certainly helped me ovulate.

Vap0 · 09/05/2015 16:24

P.S. fay if you don't have any issues you shouldn't touch it as it will mess up a normal cycle and can even stop you ovulating if you already do it yourself. I had nothing to lose taking it as nothing was happening by itself.

NeverShutsUp · 09/05/2015 18:59

Hope fay it will be much easier for you! It was my first since coming off the pill and it was loads shorter (2days long) and lots lighter! And no idea on the soy from me, sorry!

vap I'm glad you survived and that sounds like a hard day! but take from it than you've managed it been a good friend and have a catch up, Now pour yourself some Wine, fingers crossed you won't be allowed to for much longer!

LastOneDancing · 09/05/2015 19:53

Well done Vap, I hope you had pate, rare meat and a cheeseboard of soft smelly cheeses for pud, washed down with a bottle of red and made yummy yummy noises right in front of her? Wink

Ordered my new OPKs ready to POAS my way to a February baby! Thinking positive! Whooooh!

NeverShutsUp · 09/05/2015 19:56

Don't like any of that food choice lod but I hope you do vap and you do as she says!

Oh more poas lod Grin roll on the February baby boom! Well me and DH have decided we are going to leave off the OPKs for a few months and see if anything happens! as much as I want to be naughty and go get it all I think it's the sensible approach for us.

LastOneDancing · 09/05/2015 20:22

No way, they are the most delicious things on earth surely?! We can never get married Nev. We are incompatible Wink

I don't know why I use OPKs really, I think I just need to feel like I'm doing something proactive IYSWIM? Im not very good at winging it or going with the flow.

Fay I'm being nosey, but what came up on your ovia app to ask about Soy? Sorry I cant see if you posted a pic.

Vap0 · 09/05/2015 21:04

Hi everyone!
I'm certainly making the most of not being up-duffed tonight, glass of prosecco in hand... Wine
No exciting drinks or food I'm afraid at lunch LOD although I'm sure if there had been it would have all been "I can't have that because I'm pregnant"...

February babies are the way forward! Not quite so close to Xmas to mean joint gifts but also in a bit of a rubbish month where you need a bit of light! I really really hope I manage to have a February baby Grin
I love my opk's there's a surprise - especially on the 1 occasion when it has been positive
I can't wait to see my next opk Smile
I have the ovia app too, the update is as attached....
They come up with all of these "useful tidbits" which are repeated month after month... I suppose most people won't see them as often as I have..

Anyone else 4dpo?
LastOneDancing · 10/05/2015 08:14

Spring babies are wonderful - the bump keeps you warm all winter and you can get out and about in the sunshine with the pram once they arrive Smile

When is your appointment again Vap?

Vap0 · 10/05/2015 09:20

Monday 4.30 Grin
31 hours....

NeverShutsUp · 10/05/2015 13:48

Oh no lod I'd already got my divorce ready and about to book the church for us! But you are right this just isnt going to work for us, best tell DH he's good for a little while yet Grin

I think its more DH that doesn't want to use them than me, so I'm compromising and settling for trying for a few months the use them!

Yes I always said spring, one of my DCs is autumn and that summer was awful! Big fat and pregnant plus heat is not nice!

Oh the countdown is on vap you will have to let us know how you get on!
