Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

Apols for double post. Blimmin app!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 27/07/2015 14:06

Thanks Banana yes I stopped too around ovulation so for me as soon as I saw ewcm. I just thought my periods had finally settled but maybe not

Nomio230 · 27/07/2015 14:41

Blimey, AF has been busy today. Sorry so many of you are out. Wine and Cake for you all.

DizzyN, I agree that the start of the month is the worst part. You feel like it is never going to happen, plus your hormones are all over the place. It is poo.

Hi to Auf, Night & Chops. I love that you guys still come back to check on us.

I don’t really know anything about SI, so can’t help, but there used to be a giant thread somewhere with lots of people taking it. I know it seems to work pretty well for some.

3DPO for me. I wish I could speed up time!

Kirjava · 27/07/2015 14:55

nomio I'd forgotten you are still that side of ovulation and not in the testing space yet. Statistically, bfp for yooooou!

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 27/07/2015 15:17

Nomio fx for a BFP for you.

I'm ok now Af is here it's during the tww especially a few days before Af due that I turn into a crazy person

Nomio230 · 27/07/2015 16:19

Thanks lovelies. I really hope it is my month, but have a bad feeling for some reason. No idea why because we gave it a good shot. I think I am just so sick of the constant rollercoaster of emotion!

BabyBumpHopeful · 27/07/2015 17:38

11DPO today and BFP due tomorrow. In my typically "symptom spotting" manner, I'm here to report:

  • burping
  • nausea
  • really hot at night
... and that's all

Sounds promising? It would except I have GORD so it could just be that playing up (though I'm on meds and it shouldn't, it doesn't always help). And it's summer here and humid as all get out so...

I made sure I had protection for when if AF shows up either later today or tomorrow. If when it does I should get around to booking the appointment with my OB to get some tests done, just to make sure we're actually fertile and not just wasting time being hopeful...

Sorry about AF to those who've had her unwelcome visit!

DizzyMerry · 27/07/2015 19:12

I'm in complete shock. Had a faint line on IC this morning but couldn't get it to show up on pic. DH could see it. He's just come in from work with a FRER! 12 dpi and just can't believe it's happened.

Yay merry so so happy for you!

eskimoflo · 27/07/2015 19:20

Oh my gosh, DizzyM! Congratulations! Remind me of your stats again? Did you do anything different this time round? Details please! Grin

DizzyMerry · 27/07/2015 19:25

Oh sorry, completely forgot about stats! Well I had two sessions of acupuncture pre and post ovulation despite saying I wouldn't. Apart from that I have been taking only the pregnacare preconception vits. DH has been taking wellman conception vits and 1000mg vit C. No symptoms apart from lots of tears on 8dpo and some pre AF cramps.

DizzyMerry · 27/07/2015 19:25

Thanks night and eskimo. I'm still in shock and will be for a good while!

Hairstylisttoboris · 27/07/2015 19:26

Hairstylisttoboris · 27/07/2015 19:27

Nomio230 · 27/07/2015 19:49

BBH, I think you should test. It seems to be a lucky week for this bus!

DizzyMerry · 27/07/2015 19:55

Thanks ladies. Beaut this was cycle 15.

I'm going to hang around here if you lovely lot don't mind. I can't thank you all enough for the advice and support you've provided. I couldn't have got through the dark moments without you all.

I agree BBH do a test! Fx for you.
