Ooooooh Heron. I'm holding your hand >> I due Sunday and I can already feel AF is on her way. Finger, toes, ears and eyes crossed for you

ohjoy · 21/05/2008 09:50

hugging you back

it is a terrible feeling isnt it? that feeling AF the witch is on her way...

hope not!

all crossed for you as well! AF is due tomorrow evening or fri morning...

the thing is AF signs are the same as preg signs!

xserialshopper · 21/05/2008 19:38

Heron - just read your thread - BE STRONG GIRL - STAY AWAY FROM THE TESTS UNTIL AT LEAST SATURDAY

BE STRONG

xserialshopper · 21/05/2008 20:04

Just been reading this thread here which makes me think that BD on days 10, 12, 14, and 16 is just not enough

gem2mum · 21/05/2008 21:05

Ooh xserial, just read it so maybe thats where I'm going wrong! so instead of breathing a sigh of relief on day 17 and looking forward to rest from BD, we've got to keep on at it. Oh no! Well I'm only on day 8 so looks like I've got a marathon month ahead.

Good luck Xserial and Ohjoy. Fingers crossed.

Heron23 · 22/05/2008 12:29

hi x, just read that thread...

so much energy required for BDing! i am not sure how we are going to increase the frequency . so much easier when one is young, free and single!

ohjoy · 22/05/2008 13:37

BFP!!!!!!!!!!!

very early days yet, will keep you posted!!!!
i used a early test stick (AF due today) and the line is quite dark!

xserialshopper · 22/05/2008 13:54

Thank you X and Jassara, it still feels so unreal....

Hi All.

Back from hols. Some bd'ing done, but not scientifically. Day 21 for me. Got thrush. Pee'd off. Suppose that takes my mind off day counting.

Not expecting to be pg, but it is only mth 1 of official trying.

Juicylucytoo · 23/05/2008 10:34

Have I just read right. Heron AND Ohjoy have BFP's??? How fab

Here's hoping for sticky ones and that we can all join you soon

xserialshopper · 23/05/2008 11:52

gem2mum · 23/05/2008 11:54

Heron/Ohjoy Big Big congratulations that is fantastic news! How old is your dc, what age gap will you have?

Welcome to the thread hopefor3 and welcome back juicy

gem2mum · 23/05/2008 12:05

Ohh not long to go for you X lets hope herons luck rubs off. Im on day 10 but knackered already. Poor DD has chicken pox and is absolutely smothered in spots and sleeping badly so that means we sleep badly too! Going a bit stir crazy stuck at home cos she is still at the infectious stage so no one wants to see us!

xserialshopper · 23/05/2008 12:22

Gem, I hope your dd bounces back real quick. It's awful being stuck at home isn't it.....still, you wont spend any money.

I know I'm not pg as I've no unusual symptons at all, just the usual af ones, and those never lie. Next month we're going to bd days 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20. I'm thinking of not taking my clomid tablets until after my tube is unblocked in august. This will also mean I can use my CB monitor and some of the hundreds of sticks that I have while they're still in date. But I'm still thinking about this. I'll wait for af to decide.

How are you Heron? Did you test again?
