Merry Christmas everyone
Fantastic news Wasabi & Pezzina on your BFP's, good luck Jools its does sound promising

Well I tested on Christmas morning and after convincing myself all month that I wasn't in with a chance as I OV'd so early I got a BFP

We still can't believe it, but it was a fantastic Christmas present to get on Xmas morning

JingleJools · 26/12/2008 18:56

Fantastic news Smiley - what a fabulous, amazing Christmas Present

I haven't tested again - went away doing the grand tour of relatives and forgot to take the tests with me - probably a good thing ! May test in the morning but I'm not hopeful. I have a stinking rotten cold and that is probably causing the nausea and dizziness. I keep wondering if my boobs are bigger - I just seem to be more aware of them iyswim. Will be surprised if it is positive but you never know

JingleJools · 26/12/2008 18:59

Time for a list update I think - so many BFP's on this thread, it is surely the luckiest TTC thread ever !

Wow, congrats to Pezzina and smileycat, that's fantastic news.

This is indeed a lucky thread, it's giving me fresh hope for January (I need it - 39th birthday is fast approaching so time is against me).

Jools good luck if you test again tomorrow

yellowflowers · 26/12/2008 23:09

wow smiley - brilliant news.
x

BeckyMcG · 27/12/2008 00:23

Yeah, yeah, yeah Pezzina and Smileycat what a fabbo Xmas pressi :-)
Did everyone have a good day stuffing themselves rotten? I did - for about the last week now although am missing wine desperately (which makes me sound addicted which I hasten to add I believe I am not...... just want what I can't have!!!) Plus I have now noticed how much more bearable it makes my in-laws
Good luck Jools - fingers crossed for you for tomorrow although if it's not positive then remember it's probably still your body getting back to normal - it's had a shock and you're being very brave about it!
I'm off for 11 week scan tomorrow and then am heading to my sisters in Manchester for new year so am hoping that everything will be ok and I can share the good news. I'll keep you posted....... I'd be so upset if something was wrong after being so hopeful over Xmas but am being positive.

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 27/12/2008 12:04

Congratulations Smiley (frantic cheering and clapping )!

Good luck Jools and also to Becky for your scan.

AF is coming to an end, and I'm determined to conceive again this month, so can someone talk Deanna plan to me please?

Oh, and I've finally got an appointment in January for some tests to try and find out why the mcs keep happening. All good and positive stuff.

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 27/12/2008 12:06

Lovely to see you back again, by the way, lovelymonster (rummages around for any leftover Green and Blacks which might have survived Christmas Day ).

JingleJools · 27/12/2008 12:07

Still haven't tested

I keep convincing myself I can't possibly be PG because I don't feel PG and put it off My boobs are not sore, I'm not really weeing noticeably more often than normal, don't think I'm bloated and I've had no abdominal twinges. On the other hand, I've completely gone off wine (which I didn't with my last BFP) and have started crying at daft things and do feel nauseous when tired or exercising - that could be down to a rotten stinking cold though.

I'm both scared of seeing a BFN, and scared of the emotional rollercoaster and terror of a repeat MC that a BFP will bring

I know I'll have to face up to it soon, but in the meantime I'm eating healthily, taking folic acid and exercising - I've even avoided Lemsip just in case !

LovelyMonster · 27/12/2008 17:38

well im definately out. and actually need to try to not get pregnant next month! Have my brothers wedding abroad and really want to be there.

Have been looking back and all the bfps have benn on the deanna plan! tell me more.....

I think deanna plan is bd every two days from 8dpo then every day for 3 days from time you see positive on opk then night off then bd again - so basically making sure you are topped up with sperm before, during and after ovulation. x

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 27/12/2008 18:56

Blimey yellowflowers, I'm just imagining the look on dh's face !

Heebychick · 27/12/2008 19:50

i leave you all alone for 5 minutes ...... WOW [grin[ what wonderful news!!

Huge congrats to smiley wasabi village pezzina what great christmas presents for you all!

I'm sorry to have been away, trust me i have been lurking just been soooo busy with crimbo visits etc and just haven't had time to write!

As for me, i have my 12 week scan next monday and am feeling fine, nausea has gone finally and although i'm quite tired i feel fine (trying not to worry - silly heeby)

Lots of love and luck to you all .... jools how you doing honey?

xxx

JingleJools · 27/12/2008 20:25

Hi Heeby

Well, did a Clearblue digi this afternoon after avoiding the bathroom for a few hours -said Not Pregnant - not much of a surprise really but good to know one way or the other. Either the Sainsbury's test was duff, or it is sensitive enough to pick up very very faint post MC levels with FMU ?

I was STILL nauseous at the gym this morning and STILL have an aversion to wine though - very odd !! I think it is CD12 for me today (although not sure what to take as CD1 given that my bleeding never got going)

I normally OV between CD14 and 16 so need to start seducing DP I guess Does anyone know if having an anovulatory cycle has any effect on the timing of subsequent cycles ?? I'm only just beginning to appreciate just how lucky I've been having cycles like clockwork and ovulation that I can predict and feel - am a bit lost now that my body isn't behaving !!

My parents have flown off on a long 9 week holiday today - I would LOVE to pick them up from the airport and show them a scan picture

Comma2 · 28/12/2008 00:46

Oh congrats to all the BFP!!!!!

I am CD 22 today and was running today, then found I had spotted a bit...was actually (sorry, TMI) a little clump of tissue which I am sure is not a good sign, but hopefully just remnant from miscarriage last month ....I get all sad about it now, Christmas with all family movies is a shitty time for this....think will have little sippy of something, as pretty sure I can't be pregnant so soon again. Anybody want some port? Is v. good for general health and constitution.

yellowflowers · 29/12/2008 09:14

Hello. Having had a fab christmas I am a bit miserable today - temp dropped (9dpo) which may be sign of period coming soon. Was so hoping the first month of 2009 would be our month.
How are rest of you?

C1NDY · 29/12/2008 09:53

Congratulations to Pezzina and SmileyCat ... what wonderful news.

Looks like I will be trying again, as I had a bfn and AF will be making it way on New Year's day.... I have updated the list as I am also doing the DP and I think it had got missed off the list... this will be my third cycle of trying.

Heeby what cough medicine did you try ... I know DP mentions the Roubitons.. something... but there are two types which one did you use??

How is everyone else? I feel like I am going to be here forever ... bding for a whole year - oh well, such is life when the time is right it will happen... I just know my time will come long sigh*

Becky Good luck with the scan

Heeby and VillageMum how are you both feeling?

OP posts:
yellowflowers · 29/12/2008 10:01

C1ndy - obv it is easy for me to give advice that I don't myself follow but if you are not due until new year's day (like me) then a bfn now is almost meaningless.

Pezzina · 29/12/2008 10:50

Hi everyone - congratulations Smileycat thats great news!

Cindy I agree with yellowflowers - I think you've tested too early. Try to hold out till New Years eve at least. Easier said then done but do try xx

Hi Yellowflowers - sorry you don't think its your month. I guess you'll have a better idea when you take your temp tomorrow.

smileycat · 29/12/2008 11:18

Yellow I had a huge drop on DPO9 & then tested positive on DPO13 so it could be the same & be an implantation dip so don't worry too much at the moment

I'm ok today very tingly nipples & feeling slightly icky & still have mild cramps but otherwise very happy with the result

I'm actually only 3.5 wks as I OV'd early
It feels really wierd because if I hadn't have done peeing on a stick & my temp I would never have known that I OV'd on CD9 & would only be looking at testing New Years eve & would still be in my 2WW

Question for you does that mean that my due date will actually be a wk earlier than I have ie some one who tests New Year will also be classed as 4 wks pg although they are really only 2wks but I will actually be 3ks??? if you see what I mean

smileycat · 29/12/2008 11:22

Meant to also say a big thankyou to all for the best wishes, its feels great to have my name in the bfp list, lets hope it stays there & everyone will be joining us some time in the very near future
