Who wants to buddy up...thread 2!

[Issie339]

Hi everyone,

Here's our shiny new thread continuing from the old 'who wants to buddy up' thread (sorry, don't know how to link). I'm sure some regulars will be along in a minute and also anyone else who is ttc and would like some company is very welcome to join- we're very friendly!

Morning Everyone,

Thanks for the stats violet

I don't have a cold :( but I do have bloating and still have pain in the left side. I guess my boobs are a bit sore but i'm not sure if that is just from the gym! (secretly hoping its a sign that i'm pregnant)

I did have a dream about having a BFP but not telling everyone, my family will be over the moon but work, I think they will be shocked.

I LOVE the Silvercross that Kate Middleton had for George but it looks huge and very impractical for me! We can all dream though cant we :D

Ah ladies I'm glad we are all as crazy as each other!

I have been eyeing up the Out and About Nipper/Sport as my biggest worry about another baby is the two demanding dogs we have and how i will manage round the forest with then AND a baby!! I need something light weight!! Its all hills!!!

Hello everyone. Just back from holidays which were fab
Nice to see loads of new faces. fx the BFPs continue rolling in this month!
nicky you're alive! Did you fall down a big hole?
I remain symptom free except crippling tiredness so I'll take that.

Sparkle Glad you had a lovely holiday, hope there was lots of dtd :)

Duck I had clear blue OPK's and i didn't get 1 positive through the month. I was doing it every other day so i have decided that i missed the peak day as i did have faint lines but not dark ones. I have had all the feelings that you have described but i have now put it to the back of my mind and i'm just seeing how the cycle goes. I would keep using your clear blue one though, does it say to use your first urine of the day? Mine always do.

pink no dtd at all! I got my bfp last month on this thread and am almost 7 weeks now. Poor hubby haha!
Fx for all of you this month.

rubberduck I'm pretty sure you always get a blank circle first test with cb opks because don't they have to benchmark your hormone levels and then measure any fluctuations from there? I think that's how the OPKs that have the flashing smileys work anyway. Hopefully you'll get the smirkey face tomorrow or at least flashing smirkey.

Good pram choices from everyone! Hoping to be pregnant by Oct so I can go shopping at the massive Baby Show in London

Hi sparkles [waves]

Hi Sparkles nice to hear from you, hope everything is progressing nicely. DPO5 today so just waiting, thinking everything's a symptom to pass the time, you know..

Duck right don't even worry about that clear blue opk. I take it this was the first day you have used it? If that's correct the first day will always always be a circle, whether you are high fertility or not. This is because the first one is just a baseline, it's got to get a baseline because we have LH in small amounts in our urine all the time, so what its looking for is a difference in the amount. This is also why it suggests what day to start the sticks on in the instructions, you're not really supposed to wait until your in your fertile window to start them. I take it your getting your fertile window from an app or have you had some other signs your fertile? Also maybe get a jug or something to avoid the peeing on the hand

Ha ha Issie I took so long writing my message you got there first! What are your "symptoms"? I've still got my cold and bloating.

We are both so wise violet

Well I'm only 2 dpo at the most (I actually think I might have Ov yesterday even though got positive Opk friday) so maybe a bit early for symptoms...although I have had a sore throat the last few days so, you know. Lols

Hi sparkles.....I found my way out of my hole lol. congratulations on your bfp

so I've had more brown/red bleeding today (sorry for tmi ) not great deal but still some so I've no idea what's going on now

trying to just take everyday as it comes and look forward to my holiday on 13 days (not that I'm counting )

Nicky not sure but do you think you should test just to check? Cause it's been a couple of months now hasn't it since you had the coil out? Did you get these weird bleeds the month after it was removed?

Shoos I suppose it could have been jizz, it was 2 days after last sex though? But as I didn't dissolve it in any water it will have to remain a mystery now!

Aaaargh! Can't leave here for a second...so much to catch up!

Shoos, sore boobs is good! Though mine are not.... Although they are generally somewhere between the size of a peanut and an almond, so may be less likely to hurt anyway??...honestly, when I was 15 and getting measured in m&s (that's right, no bra required until 15...), the lady turns and said "what you really need is a 32 triple A". Cheers love.

FX that all these colds are a sign of a lovely lovely BFP!!

duck, so sorry you've had a hard day

Lols to the use of the word 'jizz' violet and the thought that you might capture it and try and dissolve it in water!!

ha ha Issie that was Shoos's idea, I didn't have have a clue about that! You learn something new every day lol!

Ooh, so I read somewhere that it might help if the woman orgasms after the man (vacuums it all up, nice and tidy ). I tried it last month....???

duck....thank you hopefully it will settle soon.

violet....I may just do a test in morn as I have a cheap one. this is firs bit of odd bleeding I've had since coil out. I've had 2 periods so to speak both different lengths. hoping it's all just my body getting back into the swing of things

Gosh, you're so right choc! This is a very active thread. Lots to catch up on!

I have a question as it seems many of you use opks. Do any of you use them alongside any apps? I've got three apps on the go so I wasn't gonna bother with opks for the first few months until I feel I should take ttc up a gear...

dtd started today (cd 11) xxx

mrs I have the ovia app which is great if you know where you are in your cycle. I'm a tad confused with mine at min as it's saying I'm at high fertility but I've had brownish slight bleeds for past 2 days so who knows lol.

Do you use opks too? I'm wondering if the apps are always about right. I guess this being cycle 2 I might get a better idea of how long my cycles are and they'll get more reliable.

Maybe tmi but is dtd better when not on the pill?? Had a thoroughly enjoyable time last night!!
