Lots of BFP's on this thread please ladies

OP posts:
lardylumps · 23/05/2008 21:32

I know what you mean. I got pg first time wiht dd. Came of the pill and 4 weeks later got a BFP.

I am on my 4th cycle of ttc this time and have been shocked at how hard it has been. THis is my fist month of OV testing so am hoping that it will work this month.

It is so stressful and really does get you down but that is why this thread is so good because we are all in the same boat and are there for each other...

lardylumps · 23/05/2008 21:38

Right I am off now as DP is back with food. yum yum.

Speek to you all Sunday...

Night night.

kookykid · 23/05/2008 21:48

Thanks LL, it is GREAT to feel supported! Have a great weekend everyone, I am away tomorrow (first night ever away from my DD - long overdue!) so see you Sunday.
Kooky x

happynappies · 23/05/2008 22:12

Night everyone. Speak to you over the weekend - will have a look at FF, and need to consider ov testing too.

Squack · 23/05/2008 22:52

LOL @ queen of ff

that's a huge temp increase LL.

Right first things first, you have to temp with a basal body thermometer.

An ear one won't do the job, as you can see by your chart.

I have 2 a celsius one I don't use and a fahrenheit one I do use (though not this month).
Boots sell 'em for about £8, but if you like I can send you my Celsius one. It's just sat there doing nothing.
CAT me, if you want it it's yours and I'll post it tomorrow. You could be using it by Wed, just in time.

You really should temp vaginally as well. It's absolutely more reliable, espesh if you sleep with your mouth open and makes for a pretty clear chart too.

I'm a very good hand-holder

Morning

I've been awake since half 4. Its been horrible, I only went to bed just after 10 so not much sleep at all.

I have a real craving for Dime Bars since someone on the Due Dec thread has mentioned wantin one. I need to go to Ikea as they sell big bags of mini Dime bars. But its in Leeds so not going to be able to go.

Cosmogirl · 24/05/2008 08:07

Morning,

Never wake up this early on Saturday but got rudely awoken this morning but unexpected arrival of AF........Tummy is really painful and couldn't lie in bed anymore. CD 27 today - second cycle of BCP. Just checked my diary and did notice small amount of EWCM on CD 10 and 11, but no where near as much as last month, so I just assumed I hadn't OV yet. Owwww this hurts.........much more painful than last month..... Am confused now.

Morning Kayz - dime bars are good - haven't had one in ages though.

tinkiszzzz · 24/05/2008 08:17

cosmo sorry for horrible mean painful witch

Diege · 24/05/2008 09:08

Morning girls . Sorry about early start Kay Were you woken , or did you just wake up? Cosmo - sorry for af. Some months I have no EWM or any type of CM at at, yet presume I have ovulated; maybe not . Anyway, wagon orders are to eat a whole box of chocs in frony of the Eurovision song contest tonight .
Monring tinks - wow can't believe you're six weeks already, where has the time gone!
Hoping to get the Liverpool today to me tup with dh's old friends that have come over from the States. Was surprised to hear they were in their 60s - sort of imagined funky 40s ...not that I'm ageist or anything .
Right, I hear dh creaking into life above, so best get going myself!

Teuch · 24/05/2008 09:14

boo-hiss to periods and early starts!!

Do you think you OV'd early then cosmo?

I'm just past 8 weeks now. Only 9 days until scan . Can't wait to head to the bright lights next week though, as have family from US visiting wahey!!

This achey bump is a bit perplexing...any ideas?

tinkiszzzz · 24/05/2008 09:21

only 4 days till i c midwife good luck with scan teuch
it has flown by diege

Cosmogirl · 24/05/2008 09:26

Eurovision and chocs sounds like heaven. Only problem is we have company tonight.. Don't feel like being sociable at all right now. Darn it, really thought I had this 'real' periods thing figured out - was waiting patiently for the EWCM and then this!

I guess I must have ov around 13/14 then....unless this was a cycle with no ov...With first cycle being 80 days of whatever, I didn't expect the second to be 27, so was really taken by surprise this morning. Guess being on the pill really does make periods easier coz boy is this painful....

DH just gone into town and I texted him to ask him to bring some pain killers back - he's left his phone here - great! What a start to bank holiday

Squack · 24/05/2008 09:50

Well on the bright side Cosmo if you did O on say the cd13, you have a beautiful 14 day LP which is very good news

Well we're super busy today so I'm off before the seat gets warm.

Still slightly crampy, cd12 I think, am.

Moos, you're a cervix-rummager aren't you?

Mine felt quite high this morning with about a 1cm left and slightly squishy.
Am i looking for higher and squishier in the next couple of days or for it to go so high it's got lost up there? lol

glaskham · 24/05/2008 10:07

Hey ladies!! My kids have only just woken me up 10mins ago!!! they are eating their breakfast so i have 10mins to sit on here!! Just wondered if any of you want 6.5mths worth of pregnacare? I have 2 boxes and an extra tray too.
Gemma xxx

Moosma · 24/05/2008 10:45

PMSL at cervix-rummager, though I don't think it's a title to be proud of!

What you describe sounds hopeful, apparently it should go high and soft (like you lip) rather than firm (like your nose), it may not disappear completely but should be high enough that it's difficult to reach. Mine has been high for a few days - still has about half an inch left but is firm, so I don't know what's happening!

Sorry for early starts and AF, we actually had a really good night's sleep, the DDs didn't wake up until just after 8

My brother and his fiancee are down this weekend sorting out weddingy things and they're bringing the bridesmaid dresses and shoes for the DDs to try on I love weddings and I can't wait

Diege · 24/05/2008 10:54

Am very jealous Moosma and Glaskham of your late starts . Any tips on how to calm a tantruming 2.5 year old at 5.15 in the morning? .
Off to get the train now to Liverpool with our family railcard. We have the car this weekend (we car share) but dh does take the whole 'reduce car journeys' thing very seriously...let's just hope dd3 behaves herself and doesn't have one of her tantrums on the packed BH train .
Really looking forward to Eurovision tonight - shame you probably won't see it COSMO, unless you could habe a Eurovision party with them?

Teuch · 24/05/2008 10:57

I will be having a solo eurovision party tonight

Diege - I am so over tantrums!! The other day I tried to talk DS down from a hissy fit and he shouted 'don't you settle me!!!' so I'm not sure my technique is great

Have lovely Saturdays, girls

Moosma · 24/05/2008 13:13

Just been to the toilet and have tonsmiles of EWCM!!!

Squack · 24/05/2008 14:53

Right I need some advice here please girls

Have tons of ewcm (snap moos!) and have been rather crampy and feels like my ovaries/uterus are is swollen/tender.

Have just done digi opk thing and it's given me the smiley face . I'm only cd12!!

I opened my Persona this morning and it didn't ask for a stick, just went right ahead and gave me a green day (non-fertile). I would expect this on the basis of my regular cycles (I usually O cd17-18)

Had sex this morning and I thought it felt a bit uncomfortable at one point (like being bashed), which presumably means my cervix is still low

Does the position you're in affect if you get bashed? We spooned (ffs is nothing tmi anymore?).

Could the digi be wrong? But then why do feel goopy n crampy?

HELP!!

Squack · 24/05/2008 15:09

update:

have checked my cp. It's rather high, quite hard to reach and very open about 1cm or more. There was loads of gunk too.
My cervix had no length at one end and some length at the other end, does that mean it's tilted? Actually what does that mean?

I wonder if not charting etc and being more relaxed (until now) has made a difference in my O being earlier? Would chillin bring it forward by 6 days?

mumfor1standmaybe2ndtime · 24/05/2008 15:20

Just wanted to say that about an hour ago I got a bfp! Did first response test, period due tomorrow but my boobs have been so sore I couldn't face a bra and felt sicky this morning. I knew that I was pg.
Very pleased!

Squack · 24/05/2008 15:22

Woohoo! Congratulations MF1!!

Goodness, that was a rather short stay on here for you!

I'm feeling deserted today

mumfor1standmaybe2ndtime · 24/05/2008 15:25

Thanks Squack! Just wanted to 'tell someone' lol!
It was a short stay for me, will still be lurking and wishing bfp for others!

It's been a hell of a weird day, got the car mot'd today and it failed big time. We need a new car. I knew this was another sign I would get a bfp, timing and all that!

Squack · 24/05/2008 15:28

It's the law of the sod isn't it

There's another thread we're waiting to join called "wagon-waddlers" on the ante-natal section if you want to still talk to us.

Most of us have checked in, some of them are probably still asleep over there lol

Moos, you fell off the wagon BIG style pmsl. Full explosion again? See you on the next AN thread I reckon

mumfor1standmaybe2ndtime · 24/05/2008 15:32

Cheers! Will have a look. Wishing you a bfp soon
