Aww thanks ladies, it was so lovely to log on here and read them! I tested with Superdrug early tests and internet cheapieswhiteroses I can't quite believe that we've got our BFP tbh, I feel a little scared of miscarrying too but we've spent the day in our own excited little bubble which has been lovely!

Whiteroses I can't find the grad thread, am I just being thick!

Oh and while I'm here can I be really anal ? I got my BFP this morning, not yesterday, so have changed the grad stats hope thats ok

Claire Fingers crossed for you during this 2WW!! I hope you get to graduate soon.

Chance I'll be poas this month as well. Fingers crossed you'll OV in the next few days.

Hobnob76 It's been really nice sharing in your excitment over your BFP. I'm really excited for you and can't wait to hear how you get on as your bump gets bigger and bigger.

hobnob, graduates thread here I'm loving the sound of your excited little bubble and think it's perfectly normal for worries to creep in - see you on the grads list soon (hopefully)

Chance - sorry no experience here with charting but I'm sure you'll get lots of advice soon from some of the others

Thankyou Hermya, you too

Wow, things are moving on apace here!

Congratulations Hobnob, that's wonderful news. We're of to a flying start this year.

kkas lol at you leaking in Tesco's car park! However, you did the dead on what is probably ovulation day, which is great. Fingers crossed those little swimmers do the business this month.

zippys, I agree with Worrisome that a zita west lite approach is probably best. I have one of her books and I am adopting some suggestions (multivitamins for me and DH, reduced caffine, started doing pilates) I am not trying to adhere to all the instructions.

fudgecat achey boobs eh? Sounds promising. Any other symptoms?

Good luck to all those coming up to D-day - here's hoping for more BFPs.

And also commiserations to those who got hit by AF. Don't worry - February is going to be THE MONTH for BFPs, I can feel it in my water...

I am approaching ovulation (have misplaced my thermometer, so relying on CM and OPKs this month. Going on past performance I expect to ovulate any time from CD15 - 17. We have been attempting to BD everyday, and have managed to do so since Wednesday. It's pretty unromantic though.

Our 2ww for test results is now coinciding with my actual 2ww. We have our next appointment at the GPs a week on Friday (CD28). I think this wait is even more fraught than the usual one.

Thanks for posting the link to the grads thread Claire. hopefully we'll all be making our way over there before long...

I'm late for work, but CONGRATULATIONS Hobnob

Congratulations Hobnob!

Well- can you please add me to the graduate list too? I did four tests last night and they all were BFP!!! I was staring at them in disbelief for about an hour- we've only been properly trying for a month and I wasn't expecting at all to be pg yet, in fact I only did the first of the four tests to rule pregnancy out nonchalantly because my AF was late again.

I keep thinking 'were the tests defective?', 'should I do another 4'? But apparently no, I need to get my head around being a September mummy!

I'm sprinkling baby dust on all my first time frollicker compadres and hoping that I'm not hallucinating these results!!!

Wow, another one! Fantastic news MadameG! Congratulations!

MadameG Oh my gosh, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Thats four BFP's this month!

Yorkshire Yep Febuary will be a good month I feel it as well.

Hooray for Hobnob!!!!

Worrisome & Mumnerves - I have bought some Conceive plus lube, i have now read the back of the pack and im not convinced that it will make a diffrence, it just looks as if it is better if you do need lube normally. What you think?

Aly - It sounds like a good idea telling people but i found the only people we have told keep asking about it and it gets me down because it has teken so long. Although my SIL did take 18months to catch and so its nice talking to her about how we feel. I dont think i would tell anyone else though, i dont think i could stick the grilling.

Pixie - OMG i didnt even think of that, maybe 2 is a good thing!!

Hermya - We bought all our bits off the internet, i would be way to worried to but it in boots or something and see a friend! Oh my god i am so broody i even go all gooey when i see a baby at asda! My collegue just had a baby and when we went to see her i just didnt want to give her back!

My mum told me last night she was broody and i said uh i think your a bit old for that! Then she said no im broody for a baby that call me nan can you be broody on someone elses behalf?

Chance - i used the cb ov test normal and i didnt trust them so i bought the digi ones and still no surge ...

Congratulations Madame G aswell!

Congratulations MadameG and Hobnob!! Hobnob, it's amazing to think that all those months ago you started the 'waiting to ttc' thread and now you're not only no longer waiting, you're no longer ttc! Best of luck to both of you, lovely to have such good news on a Monday morning...

Well this week was the first time I have ever deliberately had unprotected sex! In the end I think I ov'd a day or two earlier than normal, so I'm not sure we got there in time, but the whole 'not preventing pregnancy' instead of ttc thing seems to have gone out of the window for the time being... So am now beginning my first 2ww and not sure whether I will manage it without going crazy.

Yorkshire I totally know what you mean about the lack of romance - and for the first time I feel like I'm pestering DH for his sperm, it's a weird situation! Imagine it gets familiar pretty quickly though ...

How is everyone else doing?

Morning eveyone,

Hobnob and MadameG huge congratulations. Like the others have said if you had not had a bfp after all those symptoms Hobnob then we may as well give up symptom spotting

Thanks everyone for asking about my head, it is a lot better now, sore when I wash my hair but ok other than that. However still feel sick, had to pull over the car this morning as thought I was going to be sick while driving! At least I will have practice for when I get real MS!! Still having tests but they are pretty baffled, hopefully real MS will take over soon

Kkas lol @ TMI post, I was reading that on my phone in town and got a few funny looks when I laughed!!

Worrisom I love your comment 'we have done quite well this month' - they should hand out gold stars for good bd'ing!!!

Pixie any symptoms yet? Wednesday is not too far away.

Hermya sorry af has arrived, although dont they say that you are uber fertile just after withdrawal bleed from the pill?

Ceebs how are you feeling now? Any other symptoms, could the sickness be pregnancy related?

Drewsgirl I know what you mean about people asking, at the moment I deny we are trying for a few reasons. When I started to feel sick everyone at work was asking if I was pregnant, but people dont realise how hard that can be when you have been trying for so so long

Aly sorry AF got you, hope you are feeling ok.

Fudge how are your boobs feeling now? When are you planning on teting?

addie it is hard when you both work long hours isnt it, are you going to be working those hours for a while or is it just a busy period?

bunny hope the cramps are not too bad, hope you are enjoying some wine and chocolates - well not at 8am in the morning!

Claire I know what you mean about wishing away time, I fell like that all the time, want AF to go, then want to ov and then wish away 2ww!!

Chance sorry not used ov stick as I have such a long cycle I thought it would make me obsessive (well more obsessive than I am already!)

Yorkshire they do say the month people go for tests is the month people concieve so if they are both timed at the same time then this may be the month for you. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I think I may be due to ovulate tomorrow based on EWCM etc, but DP is away tonight! But we Bd'd on thurs, sat and sun and will make sure we do tomorrow, so I just hope we haven't missed this month.

Anyway really must got on with work have loads to do.

Well done MadameG - what a fertile lot of people we have on the thread at the mo . Mind if I come round to your house and rub up against you for a bit?!!

Fudgecat - I've just noticed that we have the same cycle day, so we can go a bit mad together this week! Any symptoms? Still got sore boobs?

Eadwacer - Just looked and saw that no one ever answered your question about what CD stands for - it is cycle day!! The list looks a little insane because some people forget to check in when they get their period so we end up with Frolickers with CD540! but once you scroll down a little it all becomes more normal. By putting your cycle day in you can see exactly who is coming up to ovulation,who is at the start of the dreaded 2WW, like Claire, and who is at the end like me and Fudgecat right now!!

Oh god, I am symptom spotting like mad even though I vowed not to this month. Rembember the stretching "incident" about ten days ago , well I am having the most peculiar pain in my abdomen when I roll over, or stretch up. Sort of like when you do too many sit ups. Its like a vertical line half way between my belly button and my bikini line. I've been trying to convince myself that it was down to the over-stretching, but it only came on yesterday, and thats ages since. Weird, weird, weird. So instead my baby-obsessed mind is going mad trying to figure out what is happening. It hurts!

Ooooo Congrats to MadameG as well, this is really exciting!

Hermya - sorry to hear about AF. But - I don't know if this helps - when I cam off the Pill I'm sure I became super-fertile (should've TTC then - d'oh!) - I had a 21 day cycle for 3 months, definitely ovulating each time.

congrats madameG so excited for you!!!

hobnob sorry for getting the dates mixed up. not sure if they got changed though so i have amended to 17 Jan. let me know if that is wrong again!

massive temp rise this morning for me. TWW here we come!

not meant to be posting as meant to be working, BUT, Pixie that pain sounds like a good pain (if that makes any sense!) I hope it doesnt hurt too much though. Could I pursuade you to test early as you are officially late?
I dont know why but I have a really good feeling for you this month

Quick illicit post whilst at work. Congratulations MadameG! Nearly spat tea over my keyboard at Pixie's request to "come round to your house and rub up against you for a bit?". Can I come too? We'll form an orderly queue!

Pixie like zippys I am getting hopeful about your pain. Any plans to test?

And big congrats to madam too! You're on a roll ladies!

as you can see I having one of those days when I should be working really hard but cant keep away! ( I am going to end up working so late tonight!)

Just wanted to mark my place in the queue behind Pixie and Yorkshire

Argh you guys are such a bad influence!
I am really trying to hold off testing as last month I had a rogue 33 day cycle, which has never happened before. So judging dates from that I shouldn't be testing until at least next Sunday. But according to my ovulation dates this month I am due a 30 day cycle which would make AF due on Thursday.
So I could test with a CB Digi. Ooooooh, the tension!!
Zippys - that was such a nice thing to say, Thank you! I can't wait until we are all on the Graduates thread together.

Another BFP!!! - Congratulations MadameG

Zippy, glad to hear your head is much better

Pixie, here's hoping your pain is a good pain And lol at "Mind if I come round to your house and rub up against you for a bit?!!" And again at Yorkshire, with "Can I come too? We'll form an orderly queue!" - you've both really made me laugh this morning

Drewsgirl, at least you know the news will go down well when you do announce your BFP

Pidgin, strange feeling isn't it, actually having unprotected sex after all those years of trying to prevent it!?!

kkas, how are you doing today? Have you managed any more sessions with DH? - As always, thankyou for updating th list

I'm only just into my 2WW and I'm already on 'nipple watch'

Just noticed Eadwacer, you're not on the list , if you post the cycle number that you are on (the number of months you've been trying for) ie cycle ?, then the length your cycle usually lasts for (counting from day one of your period until your next period starts) ie UCL ? and then the cycle day you are currently on (day one being the first day of your period) ie CD?, someone will add you to the list
