Great news lou31205 - congrats When are you due then?

Welcome RipMacWInkel - sorry to hear about the mc Hope this is your month.

I've gone way to far with hoping i'm in this month as I've even calculated that if i do get a BFP, it will be for very early May which could still be April as I was 5 days early with DD. I need to get a grip - I am only CD13!

Yellowflowers, I am no expert, but i think you should be ok if it was within 24 hours - someone else might have more knowledge.

lou031205 · 10/08/2008 21:12

Thank you. Not completely sure. Did temping (heartily recommend the temping buddies 13 thread) and saliva ferning & OPKs which suggest ovulation on 24th July, but only started temping on 24th, and got BFP on 5th August, which was only 11dpo, if I did ov on 24th.

If that is correct, I would be due 17/04/09, but I haven't had a period since DD2 because I was breastfeeding until 4 weeks ago. I've got the Docs tomorrow, so he will advise.

madmarriedNika · 10/08/2008 23:06

Good evening all- may I join you please?
I'm TTC DC3, DD (DC2) is now 13 months old- came off cerazette 3 weeks ago and AF arrived on Friday so I'm CD3 now I think? AF v v heavy so hoping it eases soon
Conceived DC1 & 2 very quickly but won't count my chickens for DC3... Have complicated pregnancies etc. so bit worried about it all but sure we want to go for it...
Unfortunately I am away from my DH during my projected fertile period this month (from CD11-CD19)- sonot going to get my hopes up at all for a May baby...but you never know as not sure what my cycles doing after coming off minipill...

Wishing lots of baby dust for you all x

JLo2 · 11/08/2008 10:27

Good morning all and welcome madmarriedNika
Many congrats lou031205, may yours be the first of many BFP's on this thread
I'm feeling very chilled out this month (unlike last month!) although only on CD13, so not up to the stressful waiting bit yet.

Waiting2Exhale · 11/08/2008 11:10

Hi ladies, and welcome to all you newbbies (mintchocaddict, ripmacwinkle, and madmarriednika).

Am just back from my weekend hols and am please to see we have our first BFP - congrats lou031205....you have brought this thread a lot of hope so early into the month cycle .

Me, it would appear I ovulated yesterday on CD15 which is about two days earlier than normal....maybe this is good . Maybe its a better quality egg . Got a lot of bding in over the weekend so am hopeful this month. Howevery, will try not to get too stress over the next two weeks imagining symptons.

Nice to see I have a cycle buddy very close to my own cycle... will be keeping an eye out for you twoplease and we can give each other loads of support not to test early.

Will check in later on to see what everybody else is doing. It would be nice to get everyones stats down for easy referencing but I don't think everyone has listed where they are. While I am home alone at the mo, I will go through the thread and get as many as poss up. If I miss anyone please forgive me and add yourself for all to see.

Time for a cuppa...bye for now...

Wow, there are quite a lot of us aren't there! You've had your thinking cap on W2E
I'm TTC#4 (and last!)

twoplease · 11/08/2008 19:04

Excellent work waiting2exhale, its good to see where everyone is at and i am going to try really hard not to test until Sunday 24th which is CD27 (i normally have 25/6 days cycles to i figure this willbe 'late'!) because i am going away the next day and want to have an idea - I know i know it might be too early but we shall see!!

hello to all newbies too

Jael · 11/08/2008 19:56

Hiya,can I join please I'm ttc dc #2 CD16. I'm very impatient, did a test today and feel really really stupid for doin one as I knew it was too early "sighs".

JLo2 · 11/08/2008 20:26

Welcome Jael to our ever increasing thread. I know how hard it is not to test and I'm definitely not very good at waiting, but we're trying really hard not to line the pockets of test manufacturers!
Perhaps you could aim for the 24th like twoplease or if you're really brave the 1st Sept like me

Jael · 11/08/2008 21:26

My last cycle was 34 days, and as they're abit irregular I don't know when to properly test. I was planning on doing a FR on CD28...still contemplating tho as I don't wanna waste aload of money for a BFN just cuz i'm impatient

AbstractMouse · 11/08/2008 23:46

Hi all, just to update your stats waiting2exhale, I have had bfp's, hopefully no may baby for me

yellowflowers · 12/08/2008 09:05

Regarding testing...as i have ovulated earlier than normal i think i will have 2 bring my test day forward to 27th as i am due 25/6th of this month and may not be able to hold out a whole week to the 1st. Hope thats ok ladies

yellowflowers · 12/08/2008 10:35

How you all doing sympton spotting?

So far I am bunged up, had a couple of uterus twinges (I think) and I am acutely aware of having nipples - I mean they don't hurt but I know they are there. Does this make sense... Also when I wiped after going to loo 3dpo there was one spot of very pale pinky blood. But timing wouldn't work out for this anyway...Please stop me driving myself mad with symptons...

cupcakeandtea · 12/08/2008 10:54

Hello, hope you don't mind me joining in!

This is my second cycle TTC after a poss CP last month. Think i OV'd last week and have felt sick since Sat and have the sorest nipples ever (sorry if TMI!) I've been having twinges on my left side for the past few days too.

I never thought I'd get this obsessed and I know it's too early to test but I've done two already (all BFN of course!)

AbstractMouse · 12/08/2008 11:56

Thanks yellow and waiting, lol at aware of having nipples.

lastboxoftampons · 12/08/2008 12:59

Hello all, can I join you too please? We're TTC #1 cycle 6 after mc in March. I'm CD3 and dare I say it, very hopeful this month...!

twoplease · 12/08/2008 13:36

Hi everyone and all newcomers,

As far as symptom spotting is going, I'm trying really hard not to start (but its addictive isn't it!) I thought i had ovulated early last week but have twinges again today so maybe its today (not using OPKs so guessing really!) so better get BDing just in case!

oh and a big congrats Abstract, hope lots of us can join you soon

lillypie · 12/08/2008 13:54

Hello everyone 4DPO here and desperately trying not to symptom spot.

Did lots of BDing so keeping everything crossed.

2WW is the most inhumane torture!!!

tink08 · 12/08/2008 14:31

If I have missed anyone please know that this hasn't been intentional....we have quite a few of us now which is great!!!

Also symptom spotting at only 3DPO and already my mind has driven me to believe that the twinge I am feeling low down in my tummy has something to do with implantation. I know how ridiculous...
Also still getting watery CM after ovulation which has never happened before and now think this might also be a sign . I hope I'm not going to be like this for the whole cycle
