jupiter Yessss such brilliant news, I knew you'd do it this month! So happy for you!!! Congratulations 🎊 that lube is miracle stuff! orange sorry for BFN lovely, hope u are feeling OK, Fx for your turn this cycle!! Big love

Argh!!! Amazing Jupiter!!! :D Congratulations!!! Literally almost screamed in bed and woke my oh up. Had to leave the room!!

Orange I'm sorry about bfn. Really hope today is ok, thinking of you! 💐

Thanks everyone for asking about work. My boss was happy for me. I know the timing is pretty bad for the office (they've not had a pregnant technical person ever and now they have two at the same level...) But he was very lovely, which I should have expected tbh! :)

Argh, so happy now about bfp!!!

You're all so lovely, it's made me well up! Thank you guys, this thread is not only the luckiest but also the most supportive and kindest group ever xx for everyone!

Dancing so pleased the chat with your boss went well.. that must be such a weight off your mind :)

What days did you DTD jupiter?
(I'm worried I've done it too much & haven't given the sperm a chance to regenerate ) enjoy your day off even more now!!

Sorry for BFN orange .... not out til AF here tho x

Omg Jupiter congratulations! 🎉🍾🎈🎊 God that lube is magical stuff!** Adds to August shopping list!

So happy for you.

Sorry about the BFN orange. It's a shit feeling. But on to next month!

Bold fail 😳

Hb We DTD on -5,-3,-1 and +1 if that makes sense. Just eod - worked as took the pressure off. I think I read somewhere that it's a myth that you need to let sperm regenerate and actually several times a day would even be fine! How many DPO are you now?

Thanks parsnips :) x

OMFGGGGGG JUPITERRRRRRRRR I actually screamed with happiness! I told you this month was yours!!

I am so bloody happy for you!!! It is such a clear line as well..

The Lube Exchange has a very successfull pass rate at the moment!!!

Sorry about BFN Orange Could it be too early? Remember you are not our until AF shows!

Good news about the boss Dancing

Sorry about the Baby Sick Mummy I hope DS is feeling better soon!!

Oh and we ,ade it to front page again!

Oh my goodness jupiter yay!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks guys!! You're all so kind. It really hasn't sunk in yet.. hope you're all having a good day

Glad it went well at work dancing, definitely one less thing to worry about.

CD13 for me today and the start of my fw according to Ovia. I'm excited!!

So happy for you all getting your BFP, I know how much work has been put into that haha

I am having trouble trying to figure out when I ovulate though...EWCM doesnt seem to change? Dont get the whole temping malarkey? I think maybe come May time I may start on OPKs just to see.

Woop! Humping time penguin!

Get humping penguin!

laura I could never cope with temping malarkey either and used OPKs. My ewcm changes every month too (some times I have it for days before I ovulate, other times just one day before!)

penguin get on it girl!!! laura I would suck at temping and ewcm was abundant one cycle and non existent the cycle I got pregnant on (credit to the lube)! jupiter I'm grinning like an idiot for u here at my desk!! Such great news to wake up to!! Have you calculated your Edd?

You are such a lovely MrsC, I've worked out my EDD at 23rd November :) A winter baby... which is just what I wanted. I'm so scared though to over-invest in case it doesn't work out but I suppose right now I am pregnant and I need to just enjoy it whatever happens!! :)

You're just two weeks after me! All done and dusted in time to relax at Christmas!! Not sure if relax is the right word.... And Yep chances are all will be well so try and enjoy it as much as possible.... Easier said than done I know! I forget I'm pregnant now which sometimes panics me!

Haha I love all the encouragement to get humping (my phone just autocorrected that to gimping?!?)

I was wondering, does the texture of your CM have any relationship with dryness during sex?? I haven't noticed any CM at all this cycle

Sounds like such a perfect date Jupiter. The fear doesn't go away I'm afraid. I'm starting to panic about my scan (which is still ages away!). But there's nothing I can do. Today you are pregnant! (Argh!)

I feel kind of bad, I had a friend in rl who told me she was pregnant. I'm way more excited for you girls! I feel more invested in your efforts trying! :s

That's interesting dancing and so true! We know about each other's DTD timings/CM/emotions/hormones/lube... I don't talk to my bestfriends about things in this detail, just you lovely lot! Very much invested!!

My OPKs came! Thought I'd give one a cheeky go! It's not positive (which is good!) there is a line tho so im hoping ive just caught the come down!!

(Can i just say, they're TINY! Way smaller than they look in all the photos posted on here!)

Ohh Dancing I was exactly the same when a colleague at work announced her pregnancy. Much more interested in you guys getting pregnant thank you for the reassurance lovely

Yay for your OPKs Hb, my IC HPTs are weeny too and always seem to ping across the room when I take them out of the sachet. Exciting times! This could be your month eeek.

Wow! Congrats @HeyJupiter awesome news, hope your babydust is contagious for this thread! I'm thinking I'm out this month, had loads of symptoms and now nothing from 7dpo to now 9dpo. It would have been too lucky to get a bfp in the first cycle I think!
