lh that's really sad but he'll come round. My dad had 4 kids and I'm fairly confident he didnt want any of us at first but once we arrived he loved us dearly and was a brilliant father (he passed away 2 years ago Sad) he may not be enamoured with the idea now but he will when he has a newborn in his arms. And again when he's old and wrinkley and has an army of kids to take good care of him! xx

Thanks Mimi, I have 3 boys aged 9, 8 and 2.

LH1981 · 03/11/2016 09:24

Aw thanks flapper that's really reassuring to hear. Sorry about your dad Sad

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Good luck to you all with your BFPs, I hope there's lots to come!!

MotherofUnicorns · 03/11/2016 09:44

Got a half decent line on an opk last night. CD15 now and hoping for a stronger one this evening. annoyingly i am working late tonight but i might have to muster up the energy to DTD when i get in! DH has finally got into the 'swing of things' and keeps asking when the right day is with a hopeful look in his eye!!
Congrats on the BFP's.....x

danigrace · 03/11/2016 10:09

Welcome Happy, good luck with your opk! Welcome French too [waves] how long are your cycles usually?

Big hugs LH. Maybe he was seeing how you feel rather than 'suggesting' it. If he needs to see it clearly then go grab a clear blue digital?

Wow Mimi what was it like growing up with so many siblings? DH def wants more than the standard 2 but we still need to conceive number 1 yet!!

Blue lots of romantic late night loving for you this week! Haha Good luck

Sorry to hear about your Dad Flapper that's so lovely you have fond memories.

Mother that's so funny! Try having a drink and snack on your way home to help bring your energy up. Have fun!

LH1981 · 03/11/2016 10:52

Thanks Dani, I'm going to test on Monday because that way it will be definite either way.

It's great your DH wants a few kiddies, I think big families are great. I'm one of 3 girls, and we're all super close now, it's so nice. Hope your BFP for no1 is on it's way!

Good luck tonight mother hope it's a 'productive' evening! Grin

bluesdetoi · 03/11/2016 15:20

Welcome newbies, good luck! Flowers

Dani, I think both hubs and I agree that during fertile week it's more of a job than lovemaking haha. But yeah, gonna have to muster up lots of energy!

MissMagpie · 03/11/2016 15:59

Hi everyone. I think I am just about to enter my fertile week. Still resisting the OPKs, just using good old CM as an indicator.
I read somewhere this week that how important it is to DTD in the run up to ovulation so there are some swimmers already there and waiting, so that's what I am trying this month.
Romance in ttc is almost dead though, I agree!

Congrats on the BFPs to those that have them. Nice to see some baby dust has been sprinkled over this bus.
Good luck everyone else. Looking forward to hearing about your progress.

frenchielala · 03/11/2016 16:49

My cycles are usually 23 days so from what I've heard doing it early on shorter cycles is advised!

We hadn't been considering another for a while but my period was 10 days late last month and we were both disappointed when I wasn't preggo in the end so thought we would try this month and see what happens.

Dazedandconfusedtoomuchpeppa · 03/11/2016 17:24

*mimilicious". Negative HPT and almost positive OPK so looks like it's a weird cycle and I'm only ovulating now-ish!!

Writerwannabe83 · 03/11/2016 18:02

I'm 9 days post my positive OPK and have had my usual gentle cramping/orange spotting start today so I'm pretty confident I'm not pregnant. The knew the chance of being pregnant was absolutely minimal this cycle but it's still a bit disappointing.

janiPop · 03/11/2016 19:57

Are all you ladies using opk/temping? I'm on cycle 2 and used opk ok cycle 1 but I'm not using it during this or future cycles. I used it during the first cycle just to get a general idea of when I ov and to see if any of my bodily signs/symptoms tie in with the opk. And of course it offered reassurance to see that smiley face!

Interestingly my cycles have gone shorter since ds1 but my lp has remained the same.

purplebella · 03/11/2016 20:14

I'm in the same boat, Writer. Pink cm once but AF symptoms so just waiting.
But on a positive note I done 90% of my xmas shopping and wrapped itGrinHalo

Writerwannabe83 · 03/11/2016 20:16

Bloody hell that's organised!!

I'm supposed to be revising for an exam tomorrow but instead I'm slobbed out on the sofa watching Fatal Attraction Grin

Hello can i join please,
First time posting but have been reading these threads a while,

Cycle 4 post mc in July, however we took a rest last month, but back on it this month!
Just finished my period n waiting for my FW however im still having cramps and odd spotting, which has never happened before. Funny how you notice every single thing that prob was there before but only realise now n start wondering aboutConfused

purplebella · 03/11/2016 20:22

Hi jani, I did the same as you. I dont use them anymore, just wanted to get an idea. I deleted my Ovia app cos it kept shifting my fertile week! I'm just gonna go by cm and ovulation pains next time (said i was gonna be more relaxed!!)

purplebella · 03/11/2016 20:28

writer I work in retail so I'm used to seeing everything coming instore september time so I get excited lol. I would also be doing that if I had to revise- yuk!!
Welcome ringroads so sorry to hear about your mcFlowers I convince myself every month I must be pg, when I know its all AF symptoms!!

MrsG280516 · 03/11/2016 20:33

Wow you are organised purple! I've bought a few little things but not much yet.

After much stressing about the tww, I'm enjoying a nice glass of wine and watching last week's American Horror Story.

Is anyone due for testing tomorrow?

purplebella · 03/11/2016 20:38

Since this ttc business I have been shopping alot more so that could also be why I've nearly finished xmas shoppingHmm
I might test tomorrow morning cos of the pink cm but I'm sure it'll lead to disappointment!

pebble82 · 03/11/2016 20:58

LH were you on mumsnet buses in 2013/14? I'm sure I recognise your name!

Usernamegone · 03/11/2016 21:24

Wtf don't know what's going on with my body I've just had a 5 hour period. Yes you have read this correctly. Had pink tinge when wiping on Tues and Weds and woke up in full flow this morning. Took my tampon out at 12 and have had nothing since not even a dribble???? What's going on????

purplebella · 03/11/2016 21:49

Well if that was me i'd be thinking "ooh, implantation bleed!" What dpo are you?

MotherofUnicorns · 03/11/2016 22:09

Just got home to a big positive opk and an asleep on the sofa dh!!
I am going to have to hold out for tomorrow night i think and hope that i catch it....
I wish i could stop using opks but i don't really get any noticeably reliable ovulation pains. I had sore boobs at work today so maybe that is my sign....
Good luck to any testers x

purplebella · 03/11/2016 22:15

Good luck mother hope you catch that eggy!

MouseLove · 03/11/2016 22:45
