Congratulations confused! How exciting! You'll have to let us all know how it goes with DH! ✨✨✨✨✨

DancingUnicorn · 17/02/2017 07:14

Confused the ante-natal club is basically like this thread but with lots of people due with Oct babies (or obviously any other month). It involves a lot of oh, I feel like this, is this normal, yes, yes it's normal! ;) I'm trying to get involved but feel more at home here!

Boo, I'm sorry Jupiter. That really sucks. Next month will be your month!

Looking forward to all the testing coming up!

Mummyme87 · 17/02/2017 07:30

I don't know when I will test... I can't hold out until 23rd as I have no willpower, maybe Monday if I'm desperate as that is 10dpo.
So exciting with so many of us testing

HeyJupiter · 17/02/2017 07:37

Mummyme I reckon test on 10DPO - if they were implantation cramps yesterday then you should hopefully see even a faint line at that point. Also if a BFN you can always re-test a couple of days later? I think sometimes it's better to test than keep holding out. I gently started detaching from the idea of having a positive this week by testing every few days. That was better than torturing myself by waiting and then having all the disappointment in one go. That's just me though.

I was going to ask (as couldn't remember whether it had been discussed already) whether any of your OH's are taking multi-vitamins? I got DH the 'wellman original' ones yesterday which do lots of things (including boosting fertility.) It was so expensive though! Any other recommendations?

HeyJupiter · 17/02/2017 07:42

Oh, confused I've messaged you my address... and my name :)

Mummyme87 · 17/02/2017 07:54

jupiter OH take that boots own version of wellman, it's about £5 a pack and on 3 for 2. He does also take high doses of vit C, vit D and a few other bits But that's because he has to for some wierd immune thing he has

Tigger83 · 17/02/2017 07:55

So what do you reckon ladies??

TheGrumpySquirrel · 17/02/2017 07:57

OMG that is a clear BFP tigger! Grin congrats!!!!

buzzmoon · 17/02/2017 07:58

Omg tigger I swear I can see something!!

HbH04 · 17/02/2017 07:58

YAY confused ! I see this one! (I'm so bad at seeing lines!)

jupiter totally got my DH on Wellman conception a week or so ago, super sperm here we come! Think it was £5.50ish from Amazon so a bit cheaper than the shops. Just want to make sure I've/we've done everything possible to create perfect circumstances for sperm to meet egg!! & luckily he's good at remembering to take it at dinner time & reminds me, so I've taken mine every day too instead of forgetting! - so sorry that AF might be in the way Flowers

buzzmoon · 17/02/2017 07:58

Wow what a lucky month we've had ladies!!

buzzmoon · 17/02/2017 07:59

Thanks Jupiter I think I will try the Digi maybe on Sunday or something to see if it will work... the line on FRER is just getting darker by the hour (Is it odd that I have brought it to work to keep pearing at it! I just cannot believe it!) loool.

Who else was using Fertility Plus lube? I bought 3 boxes Blush and it bviously works so if someone wants it let me know (That stuff is not cheap!!)

Dancing I am going to join October now... Are you on October? deffo not scared of joining alone This will still be my main thread though!

Mummy are you going to test using FRER?

Tigger YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! How many people can say they got engaged and preggo in the same week!!!!!! HOW BLOODY EXCITING!!!!

Who else is testing in Feb!... Mummy its you, then who? Lets try and have an EPIC feb on this thread!!!! (I've already racked Jupiter up for our BFP in March!)

Mummyme87 · 17/02/2017 08:30

confused I will use a FRER. I have 2 FRER and 2 CB predictor.

7DPO CD21. Bit of pain in right pelvic/groin area. Just ate some strawberries that tastes of garlic 🤔 Maybe they were meant to taste like garlic 😂

Seven0fNine · 17/02/2017 08:31

If you let me know your updated bfp dates those of us who are now on the next cycle, I'll update the list later today so we can see where we're all up to!

Mummyme87 · 17/02/2017 08:31

Left not right

Tigger83 · 17/02/2017 08:41

He loves a project so I took him a cup of tea and said there's another project you need to add to your list.... a nursery and showed him the pregnancy test. Still can't quite believe it!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 17/02/2017 08:41

So after mummy I think it's me, then mrsC?

I will be 14dpo on 28 Feb so plan to test then.. AF is due 2 march
