Hi ladies,

Oh sarah im so so sorry about your granddad, i hope he went peacefully
Mrsmmm, and josy, catch that eggie girls, i need you guys as my bumpbuddies.

Well just for the record, i thought i share my symtoms;
1dpo - just cramp and ovulation pain
2dpo - bit crampy still and tingly nipples
3dpo - nothing much just a normal day
4dpo - again nothing much
5dpo - ok cramp is back but very mild, later in the day. Bloated and very gassy.
6dpo - these cramps are odd, a very strong pulling feeling, like 'o' pains but very low down, seem to be worse if i get up suddenly or move faster, bloating and gassy geting worse, slight back ache, in lower mid position.
7dpo - ok boobs feel tender today, the pulling cramp is still there, bloated and gassy, , the back ache is worse today, had take pain killers.
8dpo - cramp still there, but seem to come and go, very full feeling down below, boobs feel heavy and mega tender, nipples feel tingly, the dam bloating and gassy feeling is still there, feel really tired, had a 2 hour nap in the afternoon, very rare for me.
9dpo - All of the above, but the cramp has clam down abit, and backache isnt as much either, still very very tired. Done a preg test, seem to be a very faint line, but dismissed it as evap line, try again tomorrow.
10dpo - really shattered can sleep all day if i wanted, done a test with first morning urine but very faint, held wee, and done another, again, its confirmed im pregy. still have cramp but mild mainly pulling and tagging feeling, still bloated and gassy, boobs tender and massive can see the vains in them, skin seem very glowy dh commented on it (he doesnt know yet!!!).
11dpo - Still tired and sleepy, same as above most of it, dh knows today as i put a bun in the oven instead of his dinner, he's over joyed with excitiment.

And the rest well im still shattered, not getting much cramping and pulling now, weeing forever, and the bloody bloating and gassy feeling is still there, and ive started getting heartburn as well, just recently. Oh forgot to mention at 16 dpo, morning sickness has kicked in mainly when i wake up and goes by noon, Havent vomited or anything like that.

Just gonna past loads and loads and loads of baby dust your way girls,

 

[mrsmmm]

Tigger, thanks for sharing. Hope we can be your bump buddies too. We just bd again. Lol, I think dh is ttc instead of ntnp. He's now passed out napping with the kitties. So cute.

 

[sarah1726]

hi tigger, what date did you get a so i can add it to the first post on the first page ? xxxx

 

[tigger867]

Hi hun, i got my bfp, on 25th sept, at 10dpo. Still very early days yet, but im already booked in for my antinatal appt with midwife, on 12th oct thats next work.

GL to all you girls, hopefully it wont be too long. i wrote a long passage on how i got my bfp, im gonna forward that same passage to all you girls.

 

[tigger867]

Ok girls follow these steps, and im sure you get your BFP.

1; Start charting, cos even if your opk might say positive, you might not really release the eggie. Charting will tell you when you have ovulated.

2; Start testing for possible ovulation, from cd 6, even if you have long cycles, and make sure you test at least twice daily. Test at these times only, NOT THE FMU, 11am-4pm and 6pm-10pm. Make sure you hold your wee if possible for 4 hours, before testing. And save your test strips so you can compare the colour change, as the days go by. Also 1 more thing, if your like me and you cant tell if the colour change is dark enough, invest in the CLEAR BLUE OVULATION DIGI, the one with the smiley face, if the strip seems dark, just test with the smiley to be certain.

3; Try not to bd, at least 3 days before 'o', but no longer than 7 days, as semen starts getting stale after 7 days, but its at its strongest after 3 days.

4; Start checking your cervix mucus, once its EGG WHITE looking go for the kill, also if your opks are saying go go go.

5; If your like me, and you dont get EW CM, invest in a sperm friendly lube, i used PRESEED, it gives your swimmers a fertile state, so they live longer, and have a better chance to get the eggie.

6; When bding try and bd just before bed, so afterward you stay in a lie down position, giving the swimmers an extra boost. AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BIT GIRLS, ORGASM AFTER YOUR PARTNER HAS CLIMAXED. I can hear all you ladies screaming at me right now!! but its important, your cervix acts like a vacum, when orgasm, sucking most of the contents of your 'V', meaning the sperm. Hence giving your swimmers a head start, to reach the eggie. Also if you can try and bd in the early hours like at 1am, as that will cover the day before and the day after, if you know what i mean.

7; This is optional, if you have problems with ovulation, or sperm count, invest in a supplement, that is ideal for your problem. for myself and DH we both invested in fertile blend. But that doesnt mean it be ideal for you, PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE TRYING ANY SUPPLEMENTS.

8; Last of all, start the 2ww. And GOODLUCK

 

[mrsmmm]

Tigger, thanks for the write up. 90% of the time dh does go first. So that's good. If we don't get a bfp this month I will try preseed.

 

[sarah1726]

well ladies im on cd41 and still no sign of af i dont know why but every 3rd cycle my af goes all funny on me lol xxx

 

[sarah1726]

i just cant wait for this cycle to be over cos i havent been taking my temp or using opks this month cos i was up to dublin sooo much it wasnt really worth it so im just waiting to get my next cycle started so i can keep track, but were still bd'ing every second day just incase xxx

 

[mrsmmm]

Sarah, hope your relaxed approach works, hun! Hugs.

 

[sarah1726]

[tigger867]

hi sarah, r u sure your not preg? as you say, that your not temping, or opking and your bding every other day, may be you hit the jackpot. Hence the no AF

 

[sarah1726]

i tested this evening witth an IC and not even a hint of a line so its a late cycle but thanks anyway tigger xxxx

 

[mrsmmm]

Sarah, fx for a positive. I just had sushi. Since I'm a good wife, I ordered some for DH to eat when he comes home. Yesterday, I cooked. He's been spoiled since coming home.

School started for me this week. I'm taking e-Business and Computer Systems (lots of Microsoft office stuff).

My cat is looking at me through the window in the door. I wonder how long it will take for him to figure out the sliding door is open for him to come through.....not the door he is staring through.

 

[sarah1726]

[mrsmmm]
