Oh beagles I feel for you!! It's bad enough seeing people 'fall' around you when you've been trying for a long time, but smugness like that is just cruel! Can't believe she's taken your name, again!! You still have Elizabeth! It's so hard agreeing on names. We've already established most Square One girls will be called Rosie! I've got my heart set on Jesse for a boy, but DH needs convincing, and my girl will be Rosie Charlotte. Love that we can share names here and it doesn't matter. My friend just called her new bulldog Rosie though... won't let it put me off!!
Good work Jem! Keep going, I DTD 4 consecutive evenings before and finishing on OD and that was it for the month with this bfp x

Londonjam · 20/11/2016 11:49

Oh beagles I didn't see your post before! Poor you!

Cousin sounds like a nightmare. Stop sharing info with her, she can't be trusted! Hope the in laws aren't too bad this week. Grit your teeth and get through it! It's fw for me too - our cycles must be quite close.

Thissameearth · 20/11/2016 11:52

I now realise fw must be fertile week....not fuck week Blush

Londonjam · 20/11/2016 12:17

Haha yes might as well be earth

Tee I love Rosie Charlotte Smile my fave at the moment is Rose Amelie Smile

MotherOfBeagles · 20/11/2016 13:11

tee it really sucks that the switch suddenly went. But get off google! I swear it's the devil when you're stressed. It's good you confided in you're family but just try and take each day. Also those names are gorgeous. We also like Charlotte! I like names I can make shorter like Lottie, Betty, teddy (Charlotte, Elizabeth, Edward).

footy no glass of wine is not fun. But not a bad habit to get into. I usually like one or two with tea once or twice a week but since we ttc I've really gone off it and I miss it lol. Good that your dh is ready to go as soon as you're ready. Feels odd cheering on dtd but go go go! Lol

mimi colds suck. Keep yourself wrapped up, lots of fluids and rest!

london I'm just finishing AF today and my cycles been all over the place so just going to dtd as much as possible. According ff my fw is from cd 8-25?! Lol so not a clue. Going away with the in laws cd8-15 =[ calling it a marathon is pretty spot on but as I remember you and your dh are pros lol. Also yes whenever cousin is around now I think there's going to be lots of nodding and smiling and mouth shut.

earth I think it should be changed! Fuck week is amazing!

Footy1 · 20/11/2016 15:07

Tee, did u have morning sickness before with your Ds?
You might not get it? My neighbour only had it week 6&7 then it disappeared. She had a girl!! Grinoooh exciting could b that!

Beagles- cousin doesn't sound nice. Def don't tell her anything. I wouldn't care; if it's the name u like and want then sod her!

Jem Jam- love Amelie as well as Rosie. Such pretty names. I'm struggling to find a boys name I like so it better b a girl lol

Hope you cold disappears mimi X

Tee4me · 20/11/2016 21:27

I thought FW was fertile window! Fuck week is a marked improvement!
Beagles My twin sister is a Charlotte, and goes by Lottie, which is why I definitely want that. So right about stepping away from google, it's not healthy! BUT, in the interest of balance, I thought I'd do a search for something positive, so looked up twin pregnancy cramping, haha! So in the end I read as many exciting accounts as I did worrying ones! No more now! Jem I think I mentioned before, but my friend (who also has the dog called Rosie!) has a DS called Amelie Rose!
Footy, I had reeeeally mild sickness with DS, I'd say it's slightly more prominent with this one, although not been noticeable this weekend. At the moment I'm really praying for twinnies!! Long shot, but you never know. Our house is nearly finished, so plenty of room for x2 newbies! x

Thissameearth · 20/11/2016 21:43

Then I hereby pronounce that the new term has been approved and hereafter applied Star

MotherOfBeagles · 20/11/2016 21:50

yay!!! hehe

im sat here wishing AF away, got the silliest little spotting crap and i really want to get this month going! I know not in my fw (sniggers) but im actually starting to feel a bit better after two and a half months.

I also just spent a fortune on outfits to wear when i spend the week with the inlaws and need to distract dh lol Grin

Londonjam · 21/11/2016 08:20

I had a near positive OPK yesterday Shock on day 10 Shock this is unheard of for me. In the year we've been trying the earliest I've had a positive OPK is day 14. This is really weird. We only DTD yesterday also, once. DH is now away until Wednesday Sad if I ovulate tomorrow I don't think it will stand much chance Sad

Footy1 · 21/11/2016 09:51

Cd5Star
Tee hope it's twins for u then Grin
Jem oh no maybe just early LH sometimes can take 4/5 days. I'm always almost positive most days but only darker than test line when it's very peak. So don't worry yet.
Funnily I'm in the same boat today.. Did a morning temp and it spiked up to 36.63 from 36.21 yesterday so I too am sitting there thinking I hope that wasn't ovulation!! as only dtd once last night and gravity was against me Blush.

Footy1 · 21/11/2016 09:55

Oh and tee, you probably are one of the lucky ones who doesn't get much sickness then. I had it so bad with my 2 boys!!
Beagles hope DH enjoys your new outfits. Grin
Earth where are u in your cycle?
Hi everyone else X

Jodders · 21/11/2016 10:03

I read this at 4am when I couldn't sleep and was howling laughing!!! FW!!!! GrinGrinGrin
Ah how I miss FW! My hubby must too.
Tee try to retain your PMA. Take it easy and rest. I really suffered anxiety with all my pregnancies though so I do understand.
I'm 29 weeks now! Can't believe it.

Londonjam · 21/11/2016 18:00

Three OPK s today - all negative. Lots of clear fertile cm and LOTS of ovulation type pain. Really hoping it can hold off as DH gets back Wednesday...

If yesterday was the peak and I ovulated today then we DTD yesterday so there will be swimmers

Tomorrow would be the worst day for egg to come.,, Wednesday would be okay as we can DTD in the morning but it won't give swimmers much chance to get up there.

I suppose it's forcing me to have a cycle where we don't DTD every day in fw and I know people have got their BFP from only doing it once or twice?!

Is having a break from Sunday to Wednesday a no hope???

Londonjam · 22/11/2016 10:47

More EWCM today and still no DH Sad

He gets home tomorrow morning. I've told my manager I've got a dental hygienist appointment and will be late!

Please wait egg!

How is everyone? Brew

Footy1 · 22/11/2016 12:57

Cd6Star
Oh no Jam, race against time! Fingers crossed. You might have to get him to hold your legs up afterwards for speedy swimmers to get to the finish line!
Fingers crossed you get it xx

Yes I'm ok, nothing to report.. My DH away tomorrow but don't hope to ovulate until the weekend. Had few cramps and twinges but think just the clomid doing its job.

Footy1 · 22/11/2016 18:29

Got 2 nights off now as DH is away. I'm hoping I don't ovulate now either!

Londonjam · 22/11/2016 18:48

How are your OPK s footy?

Mine are on their way up..

Londonjam · 22/11/2016 18:51

Tee hope all good with you and you are relaxing Brew

Nim hope you are well

Hope AF has cleared off beagles

Kate I hope that mental job of yours has calmed down a bit still hope we get a surprise BFP from you

MotherOfBeagles · 22/11/2016 21:46

Hi all!

london I've got my fingers crossed for you! When I got my bfp we only dtd two days before my peak day so it's not impossible!

Gosh really are synced up with you coming up to ovulation too footy. I hope you've enjoyed the bed to yourself whilst your dh is away? I always wash my comfiest sheets and change them when dh goes away and just luxuriate in the decadence of a queen size bed and Egyptian (cheap) cotton sheets lol.

Ooh exciting jodders how are you feeling?

So AF officially left the building yesterday but we were both too knackered to dtd. My job is insane at the minute so stressful and ending up bringing work home until 9/10 at night and still not getting it all done. Which is especially irritating as my job is shit pay and don't count anything you do outside of work so told not to. But oh well. Focus on the good things! My stockings suspender belts and some quirky jewellery arrived today from my online shopping spree this weekend. Hehe excited. My temps are a bit wobbly but about right. Sorry tmi alert! My cm is confusing me though it's mostly clear with white chunks and today the white chunks were a bit stretchy. Definitely not ewcm but not watery either. V confusing. I can't be ready to ovulate on day 6 surely?

physicskate · 22/11/2016 21:59

Hi all,

Work is starting to calm down. the last two weeks were just nuts. Head of department's step son's chemo for leukaemia is going well and they have finally brought in a supply teacher to cover his lessons (instead of making me plan and teach as many of them as possible.

So that whole we aren't trying thing hasn't gone well. I somehow just can't go back to condoms. And who knows when ov will happen. CD 24 and still clear cm. I guess stress really does delay things!!! So I guess we are more not trying not preventing.

Oh and I start my new job in Feb now (which I am quite annoyed at). So that's a four month notice period! Yay.

I still check in here most days, though feel like a bit of a fraud at the moment! Really hoping for you all!!!

Footy1 · 23/11/2016 10:07

Don't feel a fraud kate, nice to have you still around. And you are not preventing so u should still be here! :)
Stress can delay things and U have lots going on. I was at my most stressed when I fell pregnant with my first as I think I wasn't thinking about ttc just stress of work. So u never know. Glad u are well though.

Beagles that's so funny as I've just changed the bed!! :) yes will enjoy. Just hoping I don't ovulate in the meantime! Had few grumbling ovaries today. Hope your OH enjoys your sexy outfits. Think chilli heatwave Doritos are as far as I go to get my DH hot! GrinConfused

Jem opks are just dark not quite peak yet. How about you? We are all around the same time coming up to ovulation! Be great to all get BFPs for Christmas!! DH away tonight so Im praying I don't ovulate tonight!
Are u still using preseed?! I used some last night and think I overdid it! Just wanted some acceleration to the finishing line! Ha ha

Londonjam · 23/11/2016 10:12

Kate you are so welcome here! So many times you hear people get BFP when they are looking the other way.

Footy yup I'm using preseed, we both like it and my feeling is every little helps. OPK s still not positive despite lots of ovary rumblings. We DTD this morning so I feel we are in good time again this month.

Hope your egg waits! Is your DH back tonight?

Londonjam · 23/11/2016 10:13

Ah - yours is away tonight. I'm sure you'll be fine for a night off. Let his sperm count grow!

Footy1 · 23/11/2016 15:06

Although I'm sure I wont ovulate today just the fact he's away I get anxious that we will miss it. Silly really.
Drives me mad looking at possible opportunities. He's got a busy few days when's back so I need to step up on the seduction! Maybe I'll take a leaf out of your book beagles! Wink
