Roll up, roll up! Statistical chance of at least one BFP! - *15th BFP Announced!*

[firstbaby25]

These are when I looked approx 15 - 20 minutes later.

 

[firstbaby25]

This is the TOTALLY dry test (though the totally dry possibly a test has dried weird - you'll notice it's smudged)

I have NEVER had an evap and aren't they supposed to be like grey?

 

[firstbaby25]

Just peed on another stick I think I have line eye

COMMIT me now

 

[MrsFX]

Looks good. Try again in the am. Congratulations peters.

 

[LilLeafyLea]

I'm with Mrs although I can certainly make out a line through the smudge. Did your second test turn out the same? Never had an evap so I can't be sure but I've also heard they have no colour or are grey...oo the torture!

I tested a BFN so even though I'm not out until af shows up I'm thinking that it's a no. Nay matter Back on the vits next cycle and I may temp also. Give it my best shot!

Yeah I kind of like the fresh cycle. And I'm a big believer in not being out til shows. A girl I met on here just had a 10lb girl who didn't get a positive 1-2 digi till 16 DPO - it happens a lot!

The second test I *thought* I saw something... I dunno gonna do one on Sunday. Going all out this cycle I am not normally a POASA but I figure why not I have 14 tests upstairs and no money to do anything else til Monday

 

[firstbaby25]

Oh still dishing out dust to Jehovah's, Leafy, Mrs and Pola (who has fresh cycle)

 

[MrsFX]

Leafy are we really on 14 BFPs?? Wow

 

[LilLeafyLea]

I guess so Jaynie, I shall just wait and see now! Story of my life! It's like being back in the day when TV had a cut off point...what to do, what to do..POAS!

Yep Mrs! Mad isn't it?! I was a bit of a boob and was only adding those that declared their BFP's! I went through each page yesterday and realised just how many had actually got theirs!

Only a matter of time for us now! How did your app go?

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Hi ladies, how are we all doing?

I'm still waiting for af to show today. I have no indication that I could start and still BFN's. I've been a day late before and I have one test left so I think I'll hold out until Wednesday if she's a no-show. Don't know what to think any more. I have no idea what my body's doing!

i hope this is it for you have you any PG symptoms?

i think i ovulated on friday, pretty much convinced that i did. i had more ewcm than i have ever had, and i got home from brighton and we BDed and it was really uncomfortable (on my cervix, sorry tmi!). it was also CD42, last cycle i ovulated on CD45. CM had dried right up yesterday.

i think i had an 11 day luteal phase last cycle, and i am wondering if it was agnus castus that brought my O forward by 3 days. i was also thinking, maybe i don't have IRREGULAR cycles and they are just long. if that's the case i will be quite happy, because i could relax a bit more if i knew i ovulated around the earlier 40s every cycle

the rubbish thing is we only BDed on suspected ovulation day, so i think my chances are pretty slim? i can still hope though, i'm going to hold out until the 29th to test to be honest i am just happy to be going on to my next cycle! i'm going to start taking royal jelly

congratulations to all the BFPs, and good luck to everyone !

Hi Foquita, hope you had a lovely time in Brighton with your friend. I could do with a break atm so much going on lately!

Fantastic news on your early O and extended LP! I think you should be fine BD'ing on the day. The way I see it, EWCM is the signal that you're fertile so if you DTD then, it's got to be the best chance of conception. I know it's ideal to BD one or two days before but that's so there is sperm waiting in your fallopian tubes ready to go. BD'ing on the day just means that it's a fresh compliment of sperm going directly for gold if timed right. Not sure if any of that makes any sense?! That's just my little theory anyway! Keeping it all crossed for you hun!

I have no pregnancy symptoms and confusingly, none of my usual af symptoms either! I'm still getting BFN's so I'm really getting annoyed with my body at the moment! Might just have to put it on the naughty step for a time out! I'm definitely PMSy though. I'm giving everyone a piece of my mind lately and having to apologise quite a bit! I just hate inferred meaning! Why can't people speak their minds these days?!

And breathe.....!

it makes perfect sense, and if i had BDed the day before maybe the spermies wouldn't make it to the fallopian tubes because i didn't have perfect CM. fingers crossed i take far too much stock in what psychics say though so that's making me think this isn't my month!

no pregnancy symptoms could be a symptom itself if you know what i mean, and no AF symptoms is positive too! have you ever been late before? and do you usually get AF at a certain time in the day? i know i always come on in the morning, so if you're the same that could be a good sign that you haven't!

i've spent the day checking what star sign my baby will be if i do conceive this cycle and it's compatibility with my star sign and OH's starsign. i will be REALLY happy to have a leo baby! that among other fantasy stuff like checking how far along i am today and that sometimes think i might be a bit bonkers

 

[LilLeafyLea]

Precisely my sentiments! Someone on another thread recommended a great video on Youtube. It explained the journey of sperm from 'release' to conception using actors playing the spermies! There was a particularly interesting point made using egg whites to show how EWCM is the perfect host for sperm to pass through the cervix. Without that, the challenge looks immense so I completely agree with you there.

Here's the video if you're interested - The Great Sperm Race

I'm really hoping you're right! I haven't had a cycle like this since I started TTC so trying to take that as a positive and not as my body playing an evil trick on me! I've only ever been a day late and I usually come on in the morning but last cycle I came on in the afternoon so I can't be sure either way. More waiting for me it seems!

I think being bonkers helps! I had to stop myself checking due date calculators etc. At one point a few months back If I had conceived the baby would have been due on my birthday so I was hoping it was fate! Meh!
I'm a gemini, oh is a cancer I don't think were compatible for each other but somehow it just works, must go and see why that is and what SS our baby would be if I conceived this month!

 

[foquita]

i watched that documentary, it's amazing and so interesting! i might actually watch it again with OH tonight. we are both so hopeful that this is our month, as time goes on my OH is getting more and more excited about me being pregnant and having a baby. maybe if i had got pregnant straight away we wouldn't have enjoyed it so much together, everything happens for a reason

three days waiting until you test will hopefully fly in, any plans for things to do to take your mind off it?

i had more EWCM there so i think i might not have ovulated yet, which means a chance to BD more!

if you go on the babycenter website there is a baby horoscopes section, you can put you and OH's starsigns in to see what kind of parenting team you are, and check both of your starsigns against the baby's. i love it! i have been in fantasyland all day

The just got me so now I'm on to cycle #8. This time we will be doing SMEP, Softcups, and maybe Honey & Cinnamon. I'm not to sure about the honey and cinnamon though. If it doesn't taste good, I know I won't do it ever day.

 

[LilLeafyLea]

What have you done to me woman! I've just found my new obsession and just answered your question on what I will be doing in my wait! If I was to conceive this cycle and gave birth on time I would have a cancerian child. Apparently I would be too much to cope with as a gemini parent!

'For you, life is one delightful curiosity after another, but for your child, it can feel like an emotional rollercoaster!' Hmmm!

Yeah I feel the same about being able to appreciate being pregnant and enjoy it more with OH. Even though a halfway point BFP between then and now would've been great!

GL with the BD'ing action! You'll be thinking about all those spermies rushing down the log flume and climbing the ladder towards your cervix!

honey & cinnamon is delicious! i usually put it on my porridge or weetabix in the morning so you could try that?

whenever i'm feeling down i read about my star sign, there's a really good book by linda goodman called linda goodman's sun signs. i think it was written in the 70s, it's amazing for just dipping in and out of and you can get it for a few pence on amazon. it really boosts my self esteem i love reading about star signs, not just my own but people i know! if i make a new friend i always consult linda goodman

i will definitely not be able to get that image out of my head! desperate for OH to get home from work!

 

[firstbaby25]

I'm in THAT cycle Leafy. All freaked out because my EDD would be my birthday... I also just perused foquita's link. That's going to keep me occupied for some time in many a 2WW

Jehovah's sorry about the GL for your fresh cycle

I'm still reading twilight to get me through this 2WW. Out of the land of the poor so I'm going to get ingredients to make salt dough decs... Do yours still look ok foquita?
