Oh yay another BFP!!!! Congrats flipper!! Grin

Mimilicious013 · 08/11/2016 19:47

Thanks blue purple flapper.lf it wasn't for the sore throat l have, l would have gladly drowned my misery in some vodka. I have accepted that it's not meant to be and if I think of ttc again, l will surely drive myself insane lol.
Best of luck dani.hope it happens for you soon dear. It just takes over your life and a bfp is all you would want.
Hope more bfps come this Nov. Rooting for everyone! !!

Currently at the end of CD36 when all other cycles have been 31/32 days. I ovulated a few days late this month though so it's no surprise my period isn't here yet. I took a HPT yesterday which was a BFN but I expected that anyway.

I'm fully expecting my period to arrive tomorrow.

This cycle I decided to stop breast feeding my DS so I also wonder if hormonal changes are impacting on my usual cycle too.

Dazedandconfusedtoomuchpeppa · 08/11/2016 22:04

Congrats on the BFPS!!

Sorry to everyone who is out this month Sad

I'm feeling certain I'm out this month and worked out dates and if I keep averaging 35 day cycles it'll be March before we have a chance of catching ovulation Sad . Husband works offshore.

Writerwannabe83 · 08/11/2016 22:20

Oh no Sad

Is there any way he can leave you sperm and then you AI around ovulation time?

Can sperm be refrigerated or frozen?? Grin

purplebella · 09/11/2016 07:19

dazed that sounds really tough. writer has a good theory, I wonder if you could?!
B/f probably has caused hormonal changes writer
As for me, just did another hpt and is still very light. Is it worth trying another brand?

Flappergirl86 · 09/11/2016 07:29

I did another hpt purple and it's fairly light, I also got another one from a different brand but peed all over the window and flooded it with my powerful jet stream.

As for preserving semen would it not be better to heat it at body temperature? Put it in an egg and convince a hen to sit on it till you ovulate or something? X

I know of one woman who kept the sample inside her bra to warm it up 😂

How many days PO are you Flapper?

My period still hasn't arrived and I don't feel crampy at all. Currently on CD37 of a normal 31/32 day cycle.

I'm thinking that if things have all gone a bit wonky now I've stopped BF maybe I should start using OPKs until my period does arrive just in case I have a random ovulation?

Writerwannabe83 · 09/11/2016 08:13

Scrap that - just been for a wee and my period has arrived Grin Grin

Lovechild2016 · 09/11/2016 08:31

Sorry for AF writer. Definite line there Flapper, I can see it even with my hangover. Had a crappy exam yesterday but I suppose the only plus side of being on AF was that I could drown my sorrows. Now remembering why I wasn't that sad about giving up drinking... Feeling rather depressed!

Writerwannabe83 · 09/11/2016 08:39

I'm glad it's here because I knew I couldn't be pregnant this cycle anyway. I'm all geared up to have a non breast feeding cycle, my first one, as it's known that breast feeding can make conception difficult so here's hoping I am more likely to get a BFP now.

Sorry that you're feeling low lovechild - I don't really drink so whenever I needed to 'drown my sorrows' I would head for a HUGE box of Maltesers and eat them all in one sitting Flowers

purplebella · 09/11/2016 10:17

Much stronger line on a morrisons cheapie.
I don't drink either, I can't cope with hangovers bc mine last all day. Hope you feel better soon lovechild
writer good luck, it sounds like it might be easier now.
I might not be on here much today bc my wifi is being really weird!

Jealous of your sweet line bella, hopefully I'll get one tomorrow! X

purplebella · 09/11/2016 10:51

It's starting to feel a bit real now. Hope you get a nice line tomorrow flapper

SoozC · 09/11/2016 12:20

Big congrats to purple and flapper!!! Great to see more bfps on this bus!

Sorry to hear af got you, writer. Mine is due this weekend and I'm sure it'll come as usual.

HellsBellsK · 09/11/2016 13:29

Congratulation on the BFP girls - great news!

writer sorry about AF arriving Flowers
Lovechild sorry you are feeling down - this was me over the last few days, even down to the hangover. I was saying the same to DH about not drinking.

Was at the doctor yesterday - just regards to repeat prescription for migraine tablets.
Was telling her about AF being 3/4 days late the how heavy and long it was. It is usually 5 days but lasted 8 days. She thinks I had a chemical pregnancy from what i described. Don't know what to make of it, was so emotional yesterday. Everything made me cry - But I am feeling a lot better today.

Anyway ready for this month now - FW will be here the end of the week.

purplebella · 09/11/2016 14:15

Thanks! It all could still go horribly wrong, had a very twingy uterus though so I think that's a good signHmm
So sorry hellsbells, good luck for your FW Flowers

janiPop · 09/11/2016 14:51

Congratulations flapper Star I'm in my fw and trying to remain calm!

Hells are you charting/testing?

HellsBellsK · 09/11/2016 15:12

jan no not yet. I just have all the apps Blush

Said I would start OPKs in January if nothing happens by then.
I got the book taking charge of your fertility of my cousin so reading that at the moment.

Do you? If so how do you find it?

janiPop · 09/11/2016 16:52

With ttc 1 I used opk cycle 1 and had BFP but mmc after 8 weeks. I then used opk and fell pregnant on cycle 2 after mmc but had another mc. Decided to stop using opk as DH insisted it made sense to just dtd every few days after af finished. I then fell pregnant again on cycle 2 after second mc and now have ds1 who just turned 1.

Ttc 2 and I'm on cycle 2 and DH is again adamant that we try and be 'natural' about it and dtd regularly. I know what he says makes sense but I like the reassurance of knowing when I'm about to ovulate. I did use cb opk on cycle 1 just to get a rough idea of when I ovulate and if it all ties in with bodily signs as my cycle length has become shorter from 32 to 28 days since having ds1.

For now I've decided to do it dh's way (because he doesn't want me obsessing) don't get a BFP within another 3-4 months I think I'll start using opk.

HellsBellsK · 09/11/2016 17:31

So sorry for your mc jan

I am TTC 1 that was my first cycle so this is all new to me. Trying to get to know my cycles better now. I have been off the pill for 12 months or so. I have always tracked my cycles but paid no attention to CF or anything like that.
I should be coming up to my FW now but still have a bit of blood in my CF. Only see it when I wipe (TMI) I wouldn't need a pad or anything.

So in the New year if I'm not pregnant I will go and get some opk.

Lulu298 · 09/11/2016 21:29

Congratulations flappergirl! Such fab news.

Sorry mimi. I hope you feel you can keep trying at some point.

Sorry to hear of your mc jan and your chemical hells. I'm starting to wonder if I had one last AF as it lasted such a long time. And my cycle is being really weird this month. CD 21 and no positive opk yet (think I normally ovulate cd19).

MissMagpie · 10/11/2016 09:13

So I think I am entering the 2ww.

Am pretty sure I ovulated sometime between Tuesday and today and managed to dtg 3 times before and during this time.

So now...relax, don't think about ttc and get on with life.... Yeah right!! When can I start sympton spotting?!?!
