I'm nervous/excited Grin

AF due anywhere between Tuesday and Friday.. All being well and she doesn't show, I'll probably test next Saturday or Sunday.

Anyone else counting down the next week?

Hey guys I'm CD12 too and we've done every other day since af finished. I have my gynae appt tomorrow morning so not dtd tonight as I'm sure she'll be examining me and I don't want her to find a load of swimmers!

Shortcake it only takes once! DH goes away a fair bit with work and, whilst it's annoying we DTD as much during those months, I've actually felt more relaxed as there's no point in thinking about timing, we just dtd when we can.

How's everyone doing? Anyone back in the TWW yet? I'm CD10 so getting closer!

Betsyboo87 · 05/08/2017 00:40

Hi happy! My bbs are sore so I know I'm in the tww now. Either 1/2dpo. I always used to get sore bbs straight after ov but then it stopped 6mths ago (just as we started TTC!). Now it's back this month. Hopefully it's a sign a good egg was released!

happybus28 · 06/08/2017 09:22

Fingers crossed betsy I get very sore bbs after OV too! CD12 now, managed to DTD every other day since CD 6 but not had a positive OPK yet!

murree · 07/08/2017 18:27

Hello ladies,
Well I should have ovulated yesterday... had 2 positive O tests Friday and Saturday... DTD quite a bit in my fertile window so fingers firmly crossed!

Betsyboo87 · 09/08/2017 18:45

Hi guys, I'm 7dpo now. I normally start spotting on 8/9dpo so I will see what the next couple of days brings. I usually find the first week easy but this month it has dragged. It's so quiet at work at the moment that I have barely anything to do which isn't good for keeping my mind occupied. Hope you're all doing well and managing to keep yourselves distracted.

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 09/08/2017 22:56

Hi ladies!

How are you all? I'm guessing you'll be due to test in a week and half or so? Hope the TWW isn't driving you all too mad Grin

My DHTB hadn't been well the last couple of weeks, so we've barely DTD. I know I'm out this month but I don't mind at all Smile I get married soon, so all systems go after then!

Eek Babies when is your wedding? So exciting.

I'm 10dpo I think and have my usual spotting Angry. I've been so hormonal though, I'm not sure whether it's because I'm now getting so frustrated with the TTC situation so not reading into it. I've been like this for a few days though.

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 13/08/2017 09:17

Betsy on Saturday Grin

Oh fingers crossed for you! Are you waiting until you're (hopefully) missed period to test? Or have you got a day in mind?

Oh wow babies have an amazing wedding day Saturday!
I've been suffering with a cold for over a week. So exhausted.. . Haven't even had the energy to think about any possible symptoms Sad

Betsyboo87 · 14/08/2017 15:29

Oh wow Babies! Less than a week to go! I hope you are able to have an nice relaxing week to lead up to it.

Oh Murree poor you! Hope the cold is on it's way out now. That's not what you need in August!

I am determined that the frer that I have at home is the one I am going to get my bfp on which is motivating me to hold off until at least af is due on Friday. I'm not holding up much hope though as my spotting has got heavier. I keep reading stories about ladies who spotted before af but then it never progressed to af and they got their bfp. That's what's keeping me going right now.

murree · 14/08/2017 16:27

Could it be implantation spotting betsy?
Took a cheeky day off work to try and catch up on some sleep but the found a massive gas leak under next doors drive... cue a day of drilling and banging Angry
TBH I really don't think its happened this month, don't know why just a gut feeling I guess

Betsyboo87 · 14/08/2017 17:09

I don't think it's IB as I get it every month. Last month it stopped for two days before af and I really thought I would see my bfp but then af arrived right on time! My bbs were sore straight after ov but now they're not so much so I'm not holding out much hope.

How annoying that happens when you're at home! I hope there quiet down soon.

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 20/08/2017 23:25

Hey! Anyone still about? Anyone due to test? Or even better... Any BFP's?!?!

I started taking norethisterone last Tuesday to delay my period - took my last one if those last night, hoping AF will arrive in the next day or 2 and then it's time to try again!

Hope you're all well Smile

Babies how way your wedding? I hope you had the most amazing day.

No bfp for me this month, af was bang on time. I have my u/s on Tuesday and although I'm worried about them finding something bad, part of me hopes they'll find something that's an easy fix and I'll fall preggo straight after!

Betsyboo87 · 21/08/2017 00:45

*was not way

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 22/08/2017 09:05

Betsy it was amazing! Thank you for asking Smile so nice to feel like we can just start the rest of our lives now! Just waiting for AF to arrive, soon I hope as I've had horrendous cramps.

Yes I can see why you'd hope they'll find something they can easily fix! Fingers crossed we'll both be pregnant by Christmas Grin

Congratulations Babies, I'm glad you had such a great day. Are you off on honeymoon?

I had my u/s this morning and the consultant is going to call within a couple of days to discuss the results. The lady who did the u/s said everything looks normal to her apart from a tilted uterus. Obviously I was straight on google and it seems this doesn't really affect ttc so I can live with that!

Yes fingers crossed we'll have to have a sober Xmas and NYE!

BabiesOnTheBrain1 · 23/08/2017 22:48

Unfortunately not - have already had a big holiday this year so we are just counting that as our pre-wedding honeymoon Smile

Oh I do hope so! Although a sober new year sounds like a boring one Grin

Has everyone else disappeared? Did I miss BFPs in the wedding madness distraction?
