<25 BFPs!! 12 births!! Welcome to the world turtle babies!>

[HollyMonkey]

Cor she gets around quick on that broomstick of hers, the was at my place just now. So I'm out for this month.

Spooky; I aleady had 'no symptoms' and 'CM' telepathy with Crunchie, now the Since we've done some team training Crunchie we're all set for that synchronised next month now!

And Molly, 2 days early for me too! Its the the Hall-ooooooh-ween scary thread

This is my 3rd AF since I stopped bf and the cycles are getting progressively shorter, 32days to this one which resembles my pre-baby cycles. I hope its my O date I got wrong (could very well be!) rather than a shortening LP, but nice to have a shorter cycle nonetheless.

Will be doing some internet shopping today, arming myself with OPKs etc etc

I get mine from Baby or Not, very cheap and next day delivery....

 

[HollyMonkey]

sorry mollykins, I dont think I am that far behind you

Hollymonkey I am loving the tips...I havent tried any of those things so I am willing to give it a go. But I am not so much lean buy curvey and was v into fitness before I hurt my knee so I have been back at the gym for the last 2 weeks so I am hoping my new regime will help !

and deffo trying to reduce the coffee.....but i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE it !!!! oh and wine ....i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that more

Yeah I think I'm going to have to move to a different country during the 2ww, the wine and coffee temptation level in France is too high! Go to Norway or something. Or Finland.

 

[HollyMonkey]

LittleSpy- I expect to see daily updated tests from you on this thread!

thanks mollykins.....Somedays It just feels so frustrating !!!

I got married september last year, so came of BC then and nothing happend and I found that my cycles were so iregular ! I was due back at the docs the month I fell in august then sadly I mc the day after I had a scan at the EPU.

ttc to my first and and it just seems the months are slipping away....thats slightly dramatic but I blame it on my hormones ! Some days I am so positive that I can get pregnant and then doom and gloom hits !

I know you have been ttc for a while.....how do u keep so upbeat???......
I did think about temping but it looks a little scary - littlespy is it easy ???

Hi Crunchie I think people underestimate the impact of a mc on the body- I know some women get pregnant straight after an mc(Kitcat!) but for my part my body took a while to get back to normal, hormonally, after my mc. It was like it had a kind of phantom pregnancy, beyond my control. I fell a year later, almost to the day- which I'm sure you won't have to endure as time delay,(we weren't ttc until the last 4 months of that year) but it's just to highlight that mc's can be quite a big deal for some women's bodies. I think mine had geared up so much to just be a 'baby pod' that it didn't know what to do with itself once it was no longer! So be patient with your body, and the more AF cycles you have, the more lovely and clean and fresh your womb for baby-that IS NOT scientific fact- that is Hollymonkific twaddle, but I like to see it that way! But it's normal your hormones are out of whack so try not to worry about it. Anyway, next month we'll be flying that flag together

I have been to Iceland and they made it impossible to drink out there .... Not sure what the ash situation is out there though ...... Also that naughty af was very light last night and now she is gone ....
Why is she playing tisane trick
On me ! ;-p

 

[Crunchie]

Tisane ??? Darn I phone ....."nasty trick" is what I meant !!!!

Well i tested again this morning at 14dpo, another BFN. It wasn't FMU, but the tests were IC at 25miu, so i think by now if there was anything they'd pick it up. Still waiting for AF to show up but I'm sure she's lurking right around the corner.

 

[HollyMonkey]

oops posted same message twice, LO was putting dog biscuits in her mouth so I got distracted. Or was it Crunchie telepathy again, she was making mistakes too!

Usually they'd be getting something by now I reckon, depending on O date certainty. She's swatting us like flies today.

Iceland it is then. I think the ash has settled, just bombs on aeroplanes to worry about now.
If it's very light and stops, could be imp bleeding? Nasty trick indeed if it isn't!!

 

[Crunchie]

Nope she is deffo here .... Decided to wait until I went work ! How kind

Thanks for the kind words, some days I do think I need a little more time to heal !!!

I do like to keep the humour going and I have found this thread really helpful !!'

Your pic of your baba is just to cute !!!!

 

[Essie]

Holly - I'm not 100% sure on my o date, but I'm pretty sure I am out this month. Just wish AF would hurry up now but not due til sunday.

Hello ladies
I have to confess I lost it today .... and I have ordered FR preg tests. Still cramps, spoting 4th day today ...
... and guess what! arrived an hour later
Never mind I'll save them posh tests for next time.
I have to admit I am a bit disappointed, but on the other hand I am going to be stuck with you, lovely ladies , for another month or so .

Where can I get my welcome drink?

Lots of love to all of you

Wicked witch! Welcome drinks at my place this evening girls!

I'm thinking of getting some of them posh tests too. Even posher, I'm thinking of getting a CBFM which I really can't afford.
Shall I, shan't I ?

I suppose I've got my winnings money from Littlespy's but I've spent it all already on champagne for the Mollykins thread party. Fizzy apple juice for our mascots though Just you wait and see, we'll all be drinking fizzy apple juice at next month's 'end of 2ww party'!

Who's still waiting for what now? Any hopefuls still lingering? to you if you are!

I know you have been ttc for a while.....how do u keep so upbeat???......
I did think about temping but it looks a little scary - littlespy is it easy ???

Temping is SUPER EASY, especially if you use Fertility Friend (luckily I never had to pay for it. FF gives a 30 day free trial for their "VIP" service and it worked so well I don't need it anymore ).

I bought a digital basal thermometer for like $7-8. I was temping orally but to be honest, I recommend temping vaginally. I'm sometimes a mouth-breather at night and I found that caused my temps to be inaccurate sometimes. I was going to switch to vaginal temping next cycle.

Anyway, take your temp around the same time every morning. If you're using FF then all you have to do is log in and enter your temp (and any other info you want to track). If you're just using a regular BBT chart, then you just circle your temp on there or whatever. Piece of cake!

I loved seeing, between opks and temping, when I ovulated. I thought I had ovulated several days before that and if I hadn't been temping, we would have missed the egg *for sure* this cycle!

 

[LittleSpy]

Bah! Stupid !!


If it's any consolation, my boobs are absolutely killing me. As it turns out, if I'm pregnant, it's very unnecessary to poke my boobs to check if they're tender! They're also gigantic. Last night I was changing clothes and I screamed "Oh my gosh! My boobs are seriously HUMONGOUS!" And dh said "Yeah... I noticed you were looking a little juggy."

ic #2 today @ 13dpo. YAY!

 

[Sassychic]

I get to pick up my car from the repair center today and I guess I will buy another test. Feel like AF will arrive any time now BUT you never know.

Helloo ,
CBFM sounds good, but I have the same problem - can't afford it .
That would be really great if we could all meet up .
To my knowledge we still waiting for Newbie girl and her (I think she said her AF is due on sunday). Rest of us are under management .

Temping is super easy and i highly recommend it. LittleSpy summed it up quite well. I use FF too www.fertilityfriend.com My alarm is set for 5:30 and every morning i temp, record it, and go back to sleep. I know exactly when i ovulate and how long my luteal phase is. you can also record CM, symptoms, keep record of when u and u can compare your chart to others. its great and slightly obsessive, as i am known to have that thermometer stuck in my mouth at any given time... really freaks DH out sometimes Start now if you are thinking about it. 1st day of your cycle is CD1. I don't normally temp when I'm on AF but some do just so they can stay in the habit of temping at the same time every day. the site has lots of tutorials to take all the guess work out of it too. Good luck and feel free to ask away if you have any quetions

I'm pretty sure i am out too. AF isn't due until Sunday but I had some pink when I wiped this morning so I'm sure will be at my front door this evening or 1st thing tomorrow morning! Really spooky that we are all starting early this cycle, but I'm glad we'll be together again on our TTW
