Hey boob - even a faint line counts as a positive. Congratulations! . Fingers crossed for a lovely dark line on Tuesday.

Sorry for neg angelfairy - it's still quite early for you though isn't it? Still time for a BFP this month.

girl - better grab your hubby and make the most of your positive OPK . These long cycles must be so frustrating - is this usual for you? Can anything be done about it (sorry if that's a stupid question, just wondered if you could be prescribed anything).

Hey wizzywoo - time to start taking the phone off the hook? Bloody in-laws!

Who else is testing this week? I am going to test on Thursday (or Wednesday if I run out of patience) unless AF hits me first. The witch is due Tuesday or Wednesday.

gettingstarted · 18/01/2009 17:43

theboob fingers crossed for you, that is so exciting!

I tested Saturday morning and it was a BFN, and AF has come today. I cried a lot last night about it and am feeling generally down. Last month I'd had the flu and didn't hold out much hope, but I did this month. This is only our 2nd month ttc, but because we've had to find a donor etc it has been such a long process already. Added to which the BDing is not the same. I want to be making a baby with my partner not a have someone else involved whose emotions I have to think about etc, and who I don't love. It is just causing such a large swirl of emotions. I'm hoping my hormones calm down soon! Sorry for the 'rant'

MensaReject · 18/01/2009 18:32

Hi all, congratulations to our graduates! Still no af here (cd29 but i've always had irregular periods so who knows when i'm due on! Although, i would have thought the Clomid would regulate things??) I'm weeing more often and have sore boobs - both Clomid symptoms i think. The cm is white and sticky and alot less now so looks like af will be making an appearance soon. I've got an awful migraine atm so am off to bed. I haven't tested because i'm scared but don't hold out much hope.

RubyBuckleberry · 18/01/2009 18:47

Hi Angel, I'm not going to test until my AF is completely late as I have had a positive and then got AF on time which was a bit freaky... I don't really feel anything as yet anyway so I'm not really counting on it...

earlynite · 18/01/2009 20:04

Did a test today. CD25 BFN of course! You lot are a bad influence

DevilsAdvocaat · 18/01/2009 20:11

yay well done boob!

gettingstarted, poor you. i know it doesn't seem like it but one day you'll be pg and all this will dissapear into the back of your mind. af will come and go and then you can try again.

why don't you decide that every time af comes, you and your dp go out to dinner and celebrate (that's right, celebrate!) with a romantic evening with plenty of wine, soft cheese and shellfish. each month choose somewhere nice to look forward to and try to enjoy it! (of course if you're skint do it at home and put on some smart clothes!)

i've been really snappy today and yesterday. hope it isn't pmt.

Hobnobfanatic · 18/01/2009 20:35

Congratulations Missie and Boob! Brilliant news!
(And thanks to MIssie and Smallone for the CM info and advice. We BDd this weekend, so am hoping that if Wed's sperm didn't last, then this weekend's will do the job!)
Good luck to everyone else who may be testing. I guess it's the dreaded 2ww for me now. Drums fingers impatiently...

HomeintheSun · 18/01/2009 21:01

Congratulations Missie and Boob I'm so pleased for you both.

Wizzy I don't blam you for being pissed off, why do they keep calling late at night.

gettingstarted I hope you're feeling a little better I think Devils idea is great I think I'm gonna do the same this month if af arrives, fingers crossed you'll be celebrating a bfp next time.

Gettingstarted... Keep your chin up chick, enjoy the AF, just as Devils mentioned. Treat yourself and see this as a great opportunity to refresh, revive and excited about how productive this cycle will be. Here's an to help you x

I've decided to not buy any pregnancy tests, ever.
If my AF doesn't arrive, this month of any other month, then I shall buy on. Sod all this anxious waiting, it's nuts!
Seeing my boyf upset from BFN has put things into perspective!
She says... (Wanna take a bet to see how long I hold out)

Ha ha...

There's my rant, sorry ;)

thegauntlet · 18/01/2009 21:25

so Im new here- a friend tipped me off. DH and I are sort of trying but arent very regular with the nookie- he is very stressed and tired at work. I have started taking temperature- i know that it is meant to go up around ovulation- but how much up? like a whole degree? also any tips to get him a bit keener for ttc? he's only nonchalent..

thegauntlet, dh has a lower sex drive than myself (i have no probs having sex every day if necessary ). i found with him it helped just having a few quickies instead of longer sex. also quite exciting (we did it in the kitchen ). sorry tmi!

or how about some porn? that never fails to help a bloke does it?! hth

theboob · 19/01/2009 07:34

Morning everyone. Missed you all over the weekend !

So sorry getting that your AF came . It's really pants for you both and I feel really gutted for you. (((hugs)))

Welcome aideesmum lovelylullaby and thegauntlet.

Great to have some BFPs Missymoo and boob let's hope its contagious !!

As for me I'm going to follow Devils advice and instead of symptom spotting for the next 10 days I'm going to draw up a long list of lovely things to do to keep my spirits up if I get a bfn. I am trying to be positive about the result but have to also prepare myself for not getting the result we want . So here goes....bottle of champagne, new undies to spice up the BDing next time, trashy magasine, early night with wine & chick flick, book a birthday party for DS and throw myself into organising a fab day for him, take DD shopping for some new holiday clothes, hot bath with wine & candles. Also my DH is building a new garage and has promised I can bash a wall down with a sledgehammer . Megabusy with work too so this should help time fly.

Good luck to everyone testing soon, mensa when are you going to test ?

aideesmum · 19/01/2009 09:33

Hi all,

I'm trying so hard not to test early but it is getting tempting. AF is actually due on Thursday but since last Tuesday my boobs have been so sore (more than ever before). This is sometimes a sign my AF is on the way but last month I had NO sore boobs?!

Anyone know which would be the better hpt to use? I'm on cd26 of a ucl 27-32.

Here's hoping for us all to get BFP's this month

Cazza28 · 19/01/2009 09:38

Well back to searching the internet for every little sign! So glad my computers not working at home!

fifiok when are you testing? I can't decide I think I should be due AF 26/01/09 (30 day cycle) but can be anything from 28 to 32!

Congratulations to all with BFP! And hoping for lots more this week!

FifiOK · 19/01/2009 10:18

Cazza My AF is due Jan 28th and as I have a fairly regular 28 day cycle I will probably test then. I have got a FR early test left over from last month but have asked DH to hide the test to avoid early testing. (but the devil on my shoulder is telling me to test early on Sunday 25th so that if I am upset I am not at work, the angel is saying not to do that as last month I got a faint positive with an early test only to be let down by a negative the next day and then AF 3 days later) When do you think you'll test ? If you test at home make sure you get that computer working so you can share the news.

I am going to have to log out now as my MN addiction is keeping me away from my to do list & I should not be complaining I am megabusy at work if I have time to do this I'll reward myself with some MN after work.

eeyore2 · 19/01/2009 11:12

Morning everyone.
Congratulations to all the BFP's!
I just went to give blood and they asked if I'd like to sign up for an appointment next time they come back on 1st June - I made an appointment but am soooo hoping that I have to cancel it (you can't give blood if you're pregnant). Good luck to all those testing this week. I am still awaiting first AF since coming off the pill, getting very irritated now.
