15DPO - I'm back! And I have good news!

[katiekittykat]

Boxing Day seems to have originated in the mid nineteenth century in England. Some historians believe the name 'Boxing Day' came about because the boxes placed in churches where parishioners deposited alms (coins) for the poor and needy were opened, and the contents were distributed on December 26, which is also the Feast of St Stephen. (St Stephen was the first Christian martyr.)

Others believe that the Boxing Day tradition originated as a holiday for members of the upper class to give boxes containing food, clothing or money to tradespeople and servants, in much the same way that many employers offer their employees bonuses today. These gifts were usually given in boxes; hence the name 'Boxing Day".
Oxford English Dictionary says this comes from the Christmas box; the verb box meaning: To give a Christmas-box, and then leading to the term boxing-day

Get you ladygagafan!! Thanks for that

Boxing day happens after xmas, the after Xmas sale.
So I thought boxing day originating from people boxing/punching each other to grab the best deals on clothes/ electronics.

I've decided that 6 months is the cut off point when I'll go to a doctor. I really don't want to leave it a year if nothing happens. I'm really hoping that this cycle is the same (or thereabouts) as last cycle and I'm a couple of days away from ov now!

yeah me too.
January is my 3rd month seriously trying. If no BFP in march, I'm going to try CB fertility monitor, wish I don't need one, it's pricey, though i can resell on eBay later. My next pap smear is in May. Gonna ask lots of questions.I hope can get ultrasound too.

Hope everyone is doing ok today. Just took my LAST Provera tablet. If I don't get AF tonight, back to the doctor I go

 

[katiekittykat]

Any sign Sideways? I really hope AF shows up and your body stops messing you about

cd28.....still no positive OPK - all I get are faint lines. I've had a temp dip this morning and I had some EWCM yesterday (after I drank almost a litre of grapefruit juice!) so I think ov might be on the way...

Managed to seduce OH last night with the help of some new underwear....in the dining room Wasn't really sure what to do afterwards...didn't really feel comfortable lying on the dining room floor with my legs in the air Had to run upstairs and lie on the bed as quickly as I could!

 

[katiekittykat]

I got a positive OPK

 

[Lisa40]

Yeay, congrats hun!

Lets hope the dining room was lucky for you

[katiekittykat]

Yeay, congrats hun!

Lets hope the dining room was lucky for you

Lets hope so! It'll be a good story to tell our child in years to come while having dinner...'Did you know, you were conceived in this very room, right there on the floor...'

 

[Lisa40]

That would be a v v funny moment

Lets hope you will one day have that conversation

xxx

 

[katiekittykat]

Well I'm currently working my way through a litre of grapefruit juice, and although I don't mind it, I could definitely live without having to do it again....so please say a little prayer for my BFP on Jan 9th!!

Actually the best thing about this, is that it's right on time. Looks like I'm going to ov on cd29, just the same as last cycle. I've checked my chart from last cycle and temps are almost exactly the same.

 

[Lisa40]

I am gonna keep absolutely everything crossed for you (apart from my legs)

really hope this is your month

sticky to you

xx

I hope you all had a fab christmas ladies, what are your plans for New Years??

Em xx

 

[katiekittykat]

Hi Em I plan to be firmly in the 2WW for New Year! To be fair, OH is working on NYE and New Years Day, so we really didn't have any plans. What about you? FX AF doesn't arrive on NYE

 

[Lucy Lu]

Katiekittykat! I have been lurking the TTC board for some positivity and came across your thread! Glad to hear you got a +opk. Lots of baby dust to you this cycle!

 

[Lisa40]

I'm going to a friends house party on Friday. It's my OH 30th on Thursday though so we are off to the casino with a few friends then. I'm not due to ov for about another 12 days so I'll be able to have an ickle

Hope AF stays away for us all next year

xxx

 

[mrsmonkey10]

i think me and OH are just going to stay in with a nice bottle of bubbly. i doubt we will be celebrating a BFP with it but champagne will make me feel better if the witch has shown up lol. Ahh that sucks that hes working all new years Katie.
Lisa i really hope we all get our BFPs in early 2011, that would be fantastic! i had decided to go to the Dr in Jan about TTC but since we have so many OPKs to use we have now decided to go once we have used them all, and really put some effort in over the next few months. I asked OH what his new year resolution was and he said to make a baby awww

em x

 

[jacks mummy]

Yey katie!! Positive opk!! I do feel for u with ur long cycles tho hun I don't think I could cope tbh!! I'm so lucky I have 27/28 day cycles.
Make sure you ambush OH tnite!!!tie him up or something so he has no choice lol
Well I'm not even due to ovulate until the 7th 8th soooo I'm going out for one last nite out until after I've had another baby because I don't really think its rite to drink while trying BUT that is just my opinion! XxX

 

[Bunnylicious]

Awesome Kat !!!

Go start humping !!

 

[katiekittykat]

Thanks everyone!! I feel a bit emotional when I think about how you've all been here for me through all the ups and downs of my rollercoaster cycle

I did another OPK at around 5.30pm and it was totally blank! So I either have a mega short surge (figures ), I had my surge overnight and just caught the tail end of it at lunchtime today, or it wasn't a positive at all.

It wasn't as dark as I would have liked it, but it is definitely the darkest I've ever had, and almost as dark as the control line.....I'm trying to talk myself into it now!

 

[katiekittykat]

I think I've figured out how to attach a photo....
