Anyone else on CD1 who wants to join me?

[nelix2000]

Hi....cycle 2 just started so back to the begining....just wandered if anyone esle was back at the start of their cycle who wants to join me?

Heebychick thanks so much for the warm welcome - it has really lifted my spirits! I have to smile too because I've just sneaked downstairs to consult my diary (aka conception battle plan) yet AGAIN, even though AF has only just started - and DH is watching football on tv and so is nowhere near the bedroom!!

I've read that if your cycle is 28 days long then cd11 is the day to start OPK testing, if 29, then cd12, if 30, then cd13, and so on (the idea being that you ovulate 24-36 hours after the OPK detects a surge)... So you should be bang on round about now. I buy cheap lab OPKs from accessdiagnostics online; they deliver within 24 hours:

accessdiagnostics

Their coupon code this month for a discount is the word 'thankyou'.

Oh dear. I sound like a nutter, buying bulk OPKs! They're not as plush and friendly-looking as the smiley Clearblue ones but on the other hand that makes it easier to use them liberally.

I guess I'm now going to go back upstairs to bed to READ.

I've added myself to the list, thank you!

Sparky BFP!!!!
Nelix BFP!!!!
Jools1 BFP!!!!
Funtime BFP !!!!

hey please can i join you all?
we started to ttc last month spur of the moment and so this is our 'first' proper month.
i've ordered some opk's as tbh my cycle can go anything from 17 to 35 days ,have also started epo by the way does anyone know how many to take the pack says up to 6 a day so thats what i took last month.,and will also be drinkink grapefruit juice by the gallon
i will be honest i may not post everyday but rest assured you will all be in my thoughts that we will all eventually get bfp's

welcome whitesandsandcoconutoil you've joined the right thread, all positive vibes here just need some more BFP's November is the month when we will see lots I have a good feeling about it, its our month, baby dust to all on their BDing week good vibes sending your way

congratulations funtime perhaps its time to start an ante natal thread?I am still not on one

Okay, so I possibly ovulated last Saturday, but more likely last Mon/Tues, which means if I was to early test (don't do it!!!) next Sat would be the first day I should realistically but that really I should wait until Mon/Tues or even if I can, Wed. Am going to try not to symptom spot and try not to obsess, particularly after last month.please help me...

Hi Yellowflowers,

Ive tried to read back over your thread to figure out exactly what hapened to you last month because i think the same thing is happening to me.

To sum it up we have been ttc #1 for the past 18mths. Had normal af on 13 sept.
Last sat (12th oct) af was due. I got a BFN in the morning then af arrived in pm. Af was fairly normal only really lasting 3 days as per usual. Then on wednesday i realised that my boobs were still really tender ( I think I had read this was the same for you). So I tested and got BFP (much to a great suprise).

Since then have had bfp every morning, sore boobs, and this morning nausea. wtf? Am i pregnant or not? If chemical pregnancy then how long does hcg stay in system? has anyone else experienced this and what was the outcome?

My plan is to see Gp thurs if still bfp by then. Any other suggestions? help!!

Lovelymonster, sounds to me as if you are pg. Only way to know for sure would be to get 48-hour comparative hcg blood tests done to see if those hormone levels are doubling or not. (How dark is that line on the hpt, by the way? If it's not getting fainter, than that's a clue...) I'd go see the GP... Good luck and babydust!!

yellowflowers, thinking of you! Sit tight if you can though it's just so difficult to do... Every day is another day closer!

lovelymonster - I've read that it is not unusual to get a near normal AF just after getting PG - it all sounds very promising for you

Hi all,

lovelymonster it sounds like you are pg, is the line darker now than before? i would speak to a GP as it might put your mind at rest tho. I too have heard that you can have a normal looking af and still be pg, it does happen.

yellow yes sit tight, be calm and try not to think about it (hmm tell me the same in 2 weeks!) everything except legs is crossed for you!

villagemum thanks re opk, i think i'll pop to supermarket now DH is back as i am on CD11 of a 26 day cycle so close to bd time, if not i'll just keep busy for the next 3 days or so and check CM instead, it's stil sticky and am guzzling gfj like it's on ration!

Am crashing into to say CONGRATULATIONS to funtime and to give a big wave to Heeby!

Hello everyone else too

Have been v v rubbish at everything as have been feeling so awful but lurking lots! Still panicking tho', but saw bean with a heartbeat at 8+4 so might start feeling a little bit more positive - can hardly believe am 10+2 already.

What's this Preseed that you're all talking about?

(Nelix- how you feeling hon?)

Hi Sparky - I was just wondering earlier where you'd got to I'm panicking too - mostly because I have so few symptoms but I feel guilty moaning about that when some people have felt so awful I'm exactly 2 weeks behind you Wont see bean for another 4 weeks and 2 days unless I get so paranoid I pay for a private scan - a distinct possibility !

Hiya sparky and jools...I wont see baby at all until my 12 week scan on 6th november not long to go now! have been feelin awful! lost 10 pounds so far by throwing up mostly everything I eat! exhausted ALL the time, but I made it through my exams and am still studying and DS1 is running me ragged as he should!

Hi ladies,

Lovely to hear from your sparky really pleased you are doing ok! (((happy hugs)))

It's so nice to hear you chatting about pg s symptoms, gives me so much hope, it's fab to hear (although not about the sickess poor things!)

We are on red alert now until thursday, decided it got too late for any opk's so am guzzling GFJ and watching for the signs, have DH ready for a 3 day bed fest so if i'm not around for a few days you know why

Lots of love to you all, lots of babydust coming your way and hugs to the new mums! xx

ps sparky i feel that you coming on at this prime moment is a good sign for me ... maybe this ios my month, i have a feeling too this is going to be a good month for us all.

Operation Conception as villagemum would say!

and i had to laugh at villagemum's obsessive diary checking, i thought it was just me, it's like looking at the dates will make the days come round faster! i look at least 4 times a day! tee hee!

Fingers crossed heebs - we'll start a thread as soon as you get your BFP! In the meantime, I hope you're far too busy for MN

Nelix - my scan is 6 Nov too (will be 12+6 eek!!) What time? Mine's 11:30 and will include a Nuchal...how have the exams been going? I lost 9 lbs, but have gained one back - not throwing up every day (just sometimes) but have gone off soo much food - although made myself sick yesterday having been totally off sweets, I then had a huge sugar craving and I really suffered as a result!!

Jools - don't worry about the lack of symptoms...I was almost normal for all of PG with DS and felt really terrible with the PG I mc-ed - all is normal

Thanks for the congrats ladies, it still hasn't sunk in yet .

Welcome villagemum and whitebeaches and fingers crossed for eveyone this month!

Lovelymonster - sounds like you're up the duff .

Sparky, Nelix and Jools, great to hear things are going well and hope that some of the grottiness eases soon.

This thread is feeling really positive at the mo

Just realised I got my dates wrong and my scan is in just over 3 weeks - on Nov 11th

My DH just read today's thread over my shoulder & really laughed out loud at heebys comment on her 3 days of bed fest said he can't beleive theres so many woman out there doing what we are doing at exactly the same time, he also giggled at the everything crossed except the legs, put a smile on my face too, baby dust to all, good night ladies, happy BD'ing

sparky, jools, neelix - so great to read about your pgs; reminds me that even though I had a mc there is normal life out there! You give me hope for next time!

Heeby - another day closer to D day! Time to reposition a few flags on the campaign chart...

hey morning all
i asked to join you all because i thought i was on cd1 yesterday.
i had what i thought was the start of my af [a pink streak as normal] but this am still nothing.
now all last week i had been testing all bfn but on saturday i did 2 one in the afternoon and one in the evening and the one in the evening had a vv faint line i had saved the afternoon test so i compared them and although vv faint dfo different to the other but then as i said yesterday i discounted it because i felt/thought i was coming on.
i still have sore boobs and occasional feelings of nausea which i have been putting down to stress do you think i am just trying to delay the inevitable and convincing myself i am when im not

Hi All,

Have had a horrid cold. I had two lines on the OPK sticks but DH (as he has a cold) could only manage one bding.. not sure if that will be enough. Is it too late to try today also? or should we give up and start from scratch next month. How long do I have when the lines on the OPK are both dark in colour.

Have added my details below:

Sparky BFP!!!!
Nelix BFP!!!!
Jools1 BFP!!!!
Funtime BFP !!!!

Hi Cindy, if you had a positive OPK yesterday then you could still try today and tomorrow too, if you both feel up to it! Usual advice is to try the night of a positive OPK plus two additional nights. Have a look at this link (which has taught me pretty much all I know!):

Sperm Meets Egg Plan

whitebeaches - sounds promising! Fingers crossed for you!

Whitebeaches - sounds promising That pink streak could be an implantation bleed - if that is the case, test again in a couple more days when the hormones have built up and you might see a nice fat line

c1ndywe only had one insem and it worked so you never know!!!!

sparky hiya! exams went ok I think!, My scan is at 2pm...eek...I am having whatever bloods they want to do but no nuchal. I never had one with ds1.....oooh post pics after you had it we can look at each others bumps! i am sooo nervous this time round its silly! I guess now I know what i have to loose every time I look at ds1 and realsie how lucky I am.

whitebeacheshow did you get on?did you test again? I agree with jools give it a day or two and tst again! goodluck!
