2ww and the bit in between. BFP's we're waiting!

[Bucky2008]

Maybe a nice shiny new thread will get us all enthusiastic again. I am on my rubbish diet so I only have nuts and beans to put out on the table. Oh and gin of course ;o) Anyone got any cakes to tempt me with?

Ding ding....let's...go

Do you think I have gone a bit mad

oh hatty seabrooks crisps are a marvel, I stumbled across some Canadian Ham ones recently, truly splendid.

I also use the plain version as a topping for pasta bakes (along with lots of cheese obv), it's highly classy.

abby - if you Bd-ed around CD7 for your BFP, can I ask, how long are your cycles?

Ok, purely in the interests of BFP science (and if it's not being too cheeky ) maybe could we have a straw poll of all your recently blessed BFP ladies and positions used?..... Mibbes, jolly disenchanted hatty ?

PMSL at all the northern stero-type things jolly is packing up for us southern dwellers. I am not really a southerner, 'cause I am from Bonnie Scotland. I also lived in Yorkshire for two years doing my post-grad and am married to a Northerner so consider myself an honorary one (however, never got pregnant up there so can't attest to the fertility powers of the north meself .

JB and Oufton you are making me hungry! Did you know you can now order them online?

www.seabrookcrisps.com/

And if any of you southerners want a lesson in talking northern you just click on the village shop on the seabrooks site and you too can learn 'ow to say "smmmmohhhkeeey bay-con"

B*gger. Just found out I am working the weekend

GG I'm not really a proper Northerner. Born and bred in Laaaandon.

Bucky you will be next, honestly. And GG as well and everyone.

Positions wise we were embarassingly rubbish this month. DH had flu half the month, we both had work stresses and it was more one eye on the clock missionary in order to get to bed and collapse rather than swinging from the chandeliers!

Err..maybe that's one approach. Get ill, get completely knackered, get stressed and do it "just in case"!

hi ladies
sorry iv not been around much im back at work and only manage to lurk a bit with my super tiredness!! im still waiting for my results from the docs!!
so to the news!!!!
hatty abby disenchanted and JB OH MY BLOODY GOODNESS!!!!!! so many BFPs so little time congratulations!!!! christmas babies are great i have one so it would be greedy for me to expect another!!
hello to everyone else il catch up properly later on lol
xx ei xx

you lots make me laugh so much

owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
tink gets hit by flying haggis and bagpipes

lol @ doggy we do that sometimes man on top is good to for impregnanting

we had to ger rid of our cat as kept weeing now have just one cat

not sure how seabrooks crisps came into the thread got to luv them though

cd27 for me ewcm yest
what day will i ovulate?
which days are fertile

doggy style reminded me of lovesoup dont know if anyone watches it
this old lady had died and one of the girls in it was going to adopt the ladies dog so found out what the ladies perfume was so she could wear it to get the dog used to her.
also the lady lived on her own and had never had a partner

that night girl was naked crouched on all fours lokking for lost contact lens dog came up from behind and hows your father lol
was so funny

hope that i didnt put anyone off with last comment
anyone there

ha ha, no tinkerbell - I saw the same Love Soup episode and couldn't stop laughing!

boring old missionary for us on both BDs that were potentially the crucial ones. I tend to feel he gets 'deeper' in the position . I think it is to do with how your cervix lies but I have no idea how to tell... maybe try one of each around ov time - cover all bases as it were . I also think the fact that we were both off work and chilled out helped (I know that is the most annoying piece of advice...) one BD was on holiday the next was when we came back, so maybe I'm growing a wee maderia-bean !

Hi all

Good news for me... the hospital says my hormone levels are waaaay down, so I should be back to normal in a week or two (and then just need to wait until July to TTC again). Of course, by the time I get back here in my official 2ww capacity you will all have bloody graduated!

Fantastic news about the bumper crop of BFPs - well done Abby and Jollybear. There are going to be a lot more little faces at the table this christmas! (or it'll lead to some interesting new years...!). Am sad that I won't get to be cycle buddies with JB again but am very pleased for you both. (I think I congratulated Hatty and disenchanted already, but if not, congratulations to you both)

Tinkerbell - the EWCM is fertile quality mucus, so it is best to have sex every day that you see it. When it dries up and your temperature has been high for three consecutive days you have ovulated (usually the day before the temp rise). You can only confirm that you've ovulated with hindsight, but as you get used to charting you will see a pattern and learn to predict ovulation. Women get different amounts of EWCM before ovulating, so it is hard to know when you will ovulate exactly just from the EWCM.

GG Sorry you are working the weekend, but I am glad that someone is working. I went back this week and it is very quiet... curse the credit crunch! Since it is in the interests of science, I think both times I have conceived it has been in the missionary position. We're not always that boring, honest [no, actually we are...]

Glad you're ok Ei.

How is everyone else? Hope you are all well.

JB another BFP on the thread!!!!!!! I can't believe it!! Am so happy for you. Many many congrats to you and MrJB.

Love that picture GG of Jollycub. I've changed my mind now, i don't want a baby. i want a bearcub

I've been in stitches catching up with this thread. Tink yes, i was reminded of Love Soup too!! I LOVE that programme.

Bucky now listen, i've told you, you won't be the only one left - I'm not likely to be going anywhere, especially if, as oufton says, we're going to stay here drinking gin and discussing sexual positions!! Count me in

EI good to see you - was getting worried about you.

Well, DH has deserted me tonight, so i am trying to catch up with bills etc. I have this dilemma - do i have a drink (or 3) and relax, or do i have an alcohol free weekend, to try and be as healthy as possible for any potential bean as ov approaches??? I'm sitting here with herbal tea ATM but may weken as the evening goes on.

Evening scary Good to hear your blood test results were ok. Don't worry, i'm sure i'll still be here in July when you can TTC again! Meet up is next Sunday - would be lovely to meet you

just a quick post from me cos am on the mobile but just had to say

congratulations to JB!!

Fantastic news - so so pleased for you!!

Am laughing out loud (looking bit stupid cos am at friends house!) at ur northern suggestions!

scary yeah, the meet is on the 27th

Back later xx

GG Just quick pop in (mumsnet too addictive) to say cycle usually 28 days, though has varied recently and gone up to 30 now and then. My friend is also pg (due November) and we were actually on a trip, in America, when she was ovulating a long way from her DP, but she was still pg that month - she believes that she caught on in the week before too. It's all very strange. I think the safest way is to go asap in the month. I always waited until CD8 or later. I'm not claiming any of this is scientific, but it seemed to be the thing that worked.

That and the doggy style. Although, unlike Love Soup, you may want to avoid actual dogs . There's some levels on this thread I thought we would never sink to....

And of course, wine and magners proved useful too .

(Waves to lolabella if she's ventured over from November antenatal. Were your ears burning?? )

oh yes I second the alcohol thing as this cycle was my most boozy since ttc and given we were on holiday I was knocking back a fair bit of vino verde in Madeira .
And something else I noticed, the posh bottle of air freshner I have in the bathroom is scented "Liy of the Valley" !!!! Who was it that told us of the fertility powers of LOTV ? Was it MOB or MTW ? Either way am wondering if a DP did a wee skoosh of the air-freshner post newspaper-toilet trip and that got his swimmers all excited !

Every day a new BFP!!!!

JOLLYBEAR congratulations! You soooo deserve this BFP after all that kerfuffle with your scans and stuff. Such brilliant news. Christmas will be busy in the maternity wards!

As for cocktails and positions...mine was champagne, and ALL positions. New Year's Eve was quite a spectacular night in the digihouse.

Showoff

Have I killed the thread? . Where are you all....just because its the weekend and I don't have a life (that doesn't include dog pee) doesn't mean you can all have one !!

Actually we have had no pee inhouse since yesterday morning. The crate appears to be working....

FF is being quite boring now . I no longer have a weird cycle and there is no egg.....

How are you newly pg ladies doing??? Has is sunk in yet?

morning ladies
cd29 for me ewcm since thursday gofd thurs and fri

I am here bucky! I'm meant to be working to catch up on all the work I haven't done this week but of course just popped in here... naughty me. There is lots of time for the egg to appear yet! When do you usually get a positive opk?

Thanks MOB, P&M and scary. You are all so lovely. I'm at your meet up!! Will you all wear name badges so everyone knows who is who?

SH So pleased you have had good news with your levels When do you go on your hols?

LOL at DG and her wild antics!! Another missionary position bd over here. We are all very boring except DG

It hasn't sunk in yet at all!

Scary lovely to hear that things are settling for you, it sounds like you are in good spirits, good on you xx
Bucky when do you expect to ov ?

Well for the 6 months I used OPKs they always came up positive between CD13 and CD16...So any day now I guess.... On CD12 today.

I'm here too! Go Bucky...everything humanly possible crossed for this to be your month too.
