Just popping back in to say a big congratulations to Soda! I am absolutely thrilled to see that you finally got your BFP :)

Congrats to all the other BFPs too! January isn't over yet... May there be many more to come!

Sodasoda · 12/01/2016 12:47

Thank you bluebell!! We are hrilled (and slightly terrified that something will go wrong)! Hope you're doing well xx

Sodasoda · 12/01/2016 12:48

Thrilled not hrilled. Idiot phone and person using it

Bluebell20 · 12/01/2016 13:15

I can second the terrified!!! However, despite my constant worrying, I actually seem to be all good thank you - and last week I found out via the Harmony that we're expecting a little boy!

Fingers crossed for a lovely smooth pregnancy for you xx

Annarose2014 · 12/01/2016 13:28

2nding toadies sentiments. I'm still not confident enough to go near an Antenatal thread despite another bfp yesterday evening but when I do I hope we're all there together!

bluebell I thoght I always wanted a little girl so when I found out last time it was a boy I was a bit nervous! But he has been an utter joy. Off the walls busy, but very very sweet natured. Thats boys for you, they'll wreck your house but then come over for a cuddle. Then happily trot off to wreck the place again! Grin

I have a 2 year old already and remember that feeling well! 😂 have everything already this time... except I hated the pram we bought second hand last time.

KitKat1985 · 12/01/2016 19:02

Just logging on to say congrats curly! That's amazing news!

Getting lots of twinges this evening and have felt slightly naeseous. Trying not to read too much into it. Took my last mini pill 3rd Jan and have no idea how soon after I stop I could ovulate. However it was the pill with the 3-hour time window to take and I have been told that you could ovulate if you were late taking it one day so potentially could have ovulated last week. I haven't had a period with which to date from. When would you POAS if you were me? Next week maybe it AF doesn't show? xxx

wetsnow · 12/01/2016 20:58

Kitkat I think I would be obsessively peeing on sticks! Hence why I just bought a pack of 15 tests for £2!

KitKat1985 · 12/01/2016 22:04

Haha, I may have also ordered a multi-pack of internet cheapie tests from Amazon. When I was pregnant with DD1 I was so paranoid I tested every day for like the first 3 weeks. Grin

wetsnow · 13/01/2016 18:57

Damn... my order didn't go through... I was hoping to start obsessively peeing today Grin
Hope everyone's had a good day. It's ovulation day today for me.

KateMossIsMyQueen · 13/01/2016 21:04

Sorry been MIA for a while, insane week. but curly that is such incredible news!! Congratulations!!!

Last week we found out that DHs work plans had changed fairly dramatically. He's in the military and home at weekends at the moment, but other than a 3-4 month deployment starting in April / May, he should have been winding down to move home (finally) to start a 2-4 year stint here. Hence ideal window for babies now. HOWEVER, the guy replacing him has been signed off sick indefinitely, so he's got to stay where he is, can't go on deployment until November at the earliest (he has to do one more patrol to get fully qualified) and THEN is unlikely to get a placement near home afterwards, there are only three roles he could apply for here and the timings don't match up for when they next 'rotate' - he'll probably end up in Bristol from next April, probably for another two years. DH was keen to carry on anyway but I really really don't want to risk him missing the birth, or having to leave for the first 3-4 months of the babies life, I am WAY too needy to do this on my own and we live an hour away from our family.

So I had a sulk, thought about buying a ridiculous sports car now that I didn't need a Mama Wagon, but eventually got a grip and just decided we'd need to pause thing for 6-12 months which is in no way the end of the world and means we can squeeze in one more big grown up holiday... So I am off the January Bus, after one whole (unsuccessful) cycle of trying. Haven't psyched myself up to go back on the pill yet, so we're Natural Family Planning (as we were for a year pre-official-baby-making) for the moment.

GinandJazzHands · 13/01/2016 21:26

Wow Kate sounds like a hard situation but sounds like you've taken a sensible approach. Similarly found it hard to decide when to start TTC with one or two should we wait or try now moments: hoping it all works out well with dh's job, the awesome holiday and TTC take two xx

GinandJazzHands · 13/01/2016 21:29

first how are you getting on? CD19 now and not a sniff of an OV; testing twice a day and weirdly getting nearly-there's in the morning and nowhere nears afternoon/early eve the last couple of days. Grrrr...

queenoftheworld93 · 13/01/2016 21:36

11dpo, bfn :(

wetsnow · 13/01/2016 21:43

No... just an app. But my periods are very regular so I trust it.

Oh no queen sorry to hear that.

Celen · 14/01/2016 07:14

Annarose, any more news? Is everything ok?

MiniLop · 14/01/2016 10:46

Kate, that's rubbish, sorry Sad if it helps at all, one of my ante natal friends' husband is in the navy. He was due to go on deployment a couple of weeks before her due date for 4 months. As it happens, baby arrived 4 weeks early so he was there for the birth but then left for his deployment and missed the first few months of his life. She went to live with her parents for most of it so got the help she needed. Now he's nearly 1 and their bond is just as strong as my DH's is with DS, it hasn't affected their relationship. In fact, DH (and, I think a lot of men) didn't enjoy the first couple of months because pretty much all they do is poo & cry!! So you don't have to stop trying...?

Queen sorry for your BFN, but it's still early days!! You're not out until the witch gets you!

I'm now 7dpo and CD35, terrified because this is when AF decided to arrive last month Shock although I wasn't doing OPKs so don't know when I ov'd. Will do a test probably Monday at 11dpo, if AF hasn't arrived by then!!
