Institute of bodies doing strange and unexpected things, but we're still gonna get our Bfps! (the loveliest group of hand-holders you ever did meet)

[haquoi123]

Tww thread #2! Best wonderful group ever, wishing you all the best with your bfps! Thanks for keeping my chin up when I've been at my lowest and celebrating the highs with me - all the love xxx

I don't usually bake. My friend had been trying to teach me. It's not finished yet. Just covered the top tier. Still need to ice jam and buttercream the bottom tier and add all the detail. Will be a couple more days yet.

Well i tested today at 9dpo and got bfn :/

doom when it's finished post up a pic please? So we can admire/drool over your handywork :)

af due tomorrow/or day after here and bfn, think I'm out. so fed up. :(

Af is a day late. I'm not going to test though because I feel like it's imminent.

I just want it out of the way so I can focus on the next cycle.

Sorry to hear of bfns fuzzy and lovely but you're not out yet, there's still plenty of time for a bfp, how are you feeling now?
finding - again you might be wrong with feeling af is imminent- do you ever have a late af? Could be a very good sign

Im fine thx diamond. Still expecting af to turn up but wld be nice to get a bfp. Appetite and sleeping is still all over the place and my boobs r still sore....

mayo - nice to hear from you, how are you doing?
I'm on cd17, got a positive opk on cd14 so it's just waiting time now, although don't want to wish the lovely sunny days away. I've spent the last year wishing the time away to test and it is never positive so am trying a different philosophy this month of not wishing time away!
lovely and fuzzy have you tested this morning? Fingers crossed for you

Bfn here and no symptoms and no AF. I'm going to enjoy the sunshine and get on with my day. I've been a day late occasionally before.

Good luck lovely :)

It's really nice to hear from you Mayo, hope you're well :)

Just dropping in to say hi!
diamond, how're you doing? Did the time away help?
Did you have a good birthday red? And it was someone else's as well wasn't it?

Best of luck with the bfps!

haquoi - I've missed you! How are you doing? Have you had a scan? I've been keeping my fingers crossed for you x
I'm good thank you, yes the time away helped, once I'd got past the date of ttc a year, which you helped with! I seem to be a lot better. I'm taking she oak and actually had a positive opk this month for the first time in a few months so that's good. I'm on cd17 now and not wishing the time away, what will be will be. My obsessing didn't get me anywhere!

I'm on CD 10 today and ovulated on CD 14 last month. Need to persuade DP to BD as much as poss. It's not fair, when we were on holiday he was in the mood loads. I briefly tried yesterday but he wasn't taking me on .

The woman from the clear blue study tried to call yesterday but I was in a meeting and there was no answer when I called her back.

doom, would sitting down and talking to your dp work at all?

I had to finally sit down and talk to DP, because it was really upsetting me altho this cycle we did miss the three days from positive opk, but that was due to him being away.

Can you both agree to bd every other day, and agree you don't discuss when you have ov'ed or anything so he doesn't feel pressured/it's unromantic etc.

You need to talk to him, find out what's worrying him.

That's great news diamond! Really glad to hear you're feeling more positive. The she oak is great isn't it? I'm still taking it - every time I take it the spotting stops /calms down. We had another scan on Friday and saw a little heartbeat, but they moved me back even more - I'm now 7+5 instead of 10 weeks! Seriously, who the hell knows when we conceived.

Hi ladies.

I'm glad your feeling positive Diamond.

Af arrived this morning and I'm feeling pretty rubbish about the whole thing. I'll be reading your comments from time-to-time but I'm taking a little break. Ttc has just become all-consuming and I need to switch off from it for my own sanity.

Good luck ladies - I'll be watching the thread for your bfps!

haquoi - that's brilliant news about the heartbeat! You must have ovulated really later than you thought then, aren't our bodies strange?! But so glad you're doing well. She oak is really good, has definitely calmed me down.
doom - it's frustrating isn't it when they don't understand about dtd at the right time. I agree with fuzzy, maybe agree every other day.
finding - so sorry to hear about af . It really is such a horrible time. Take time out, it did me good this cycle, but I hope you come back and join us. Look after yourself x

Hiya havent tested again yet....going to hold out til thursday/friday. Still got sore bb again today and awake at 4am yet again! !!

Hi Ladies! Well got AF last Thursday so I had a break. Been doing lots of fun stuff though. Now cycle day 6 and feeling good. Typically hubby is on late shift during my fertile window so he will be getting some early morning wake up calls. Currently lying in a park in London on my lunch break. Trying to get the sun to brighten my pasty pale skin (apart from my one sunburnt shoulder )

Hope We ar all ok xx

He won't agree to "planned BD" cus he can't switch it on and off like a light switch. I have to rely on him. We never do discuss ovulation or anything. I spoke to him last month and it did help, but I'm trying to not put the pressure on too much.

Hello all, well I'm cd28 and 16dpo but bfn today with no signs of af arriving!!

Wallpaper stripping went well and we're going to paint on friday. Now focusing on appointment with gynae consultant at her fertility clinic in 6 weeks time.

Off to give notice for wedding at registry office this afternoon - just over 8 weeks until the wedding. And to think I had fears in the back if my mind about a bump fitting into my wedding dress. No need to worry about that now!!

I'm out, good luck lovely and remember we need a bfp on this thread (no pressure ;) )

No pressure indeed! :/ lol

So,... I have got an almost positive opk today (day 12, it's normally day 14-15) so expect to ovulate either tomorrow or Saturday. Not managed to BD yet this cycle. we tried to BD on Tuesday, but he didn't finish .

Gonna send him some cheeky txt messages today to try and put the idea out there but he often goes out on a Thursday.

Also the forms for the ClearBlue trial arrived yesterday too.

Doom can you be flirty and cheeky and then see what happens but definitely pounce on him on Friday and well Saturday and Sunday weekend doesn't everyone pounce on eachother then!!!!

My DP is v like yours by the sounds, but last cycle I was teasing him and playing around. Then as he didn't progress it (think he was wanting me too), I went to sleep..... He was definitely up for it the next opportunity.

Not sure if I'm being TMI it even making sense.

Good luck.

Before we were ttc we only used to BD once or twice a month. He's hardly ever up for it and if I try to initiate things he feels like it is clinical and forced.

When we first started ttc I kept approaching him in my sexy lingerie and but he said I was trying too hard.

The past couple of months he has been better, but if I "pounce" on him and he isn't in the mood, he pushes me away and it knocks my confidence for days afterwards.
