    OMG Congratulations!!! :j:j:j
    I did an IC at 13dpo and got a faint line (at 6pm). Did a First response and got a much stronger line. I did the CB digi with FMU the following day. Have you done it yet?

    Nope - not done it yet.

    I might do it in the morning or if not it will be Sunday as I am away all day Saturday on a photography day. I'd like to think I can hold off till Sunday but I bet I end up doing it in the morning :rotfl:

    How long have you been using your CBFM for Fairy? And did you manage lots of BD action around ovulation or just 'some'?

    Congratulations on your bean! Sending lots of glue your way! ;)

    Charlie this was our third month of using the CBFM.

    For the previous two months of using the monitor our bd’ing schedule was a lot more ‘busy’ and we would usually dtd at least every other day, then every day during highs/peaks if we can manage it. This month it was totally different as I didn’t get any highs I just went straight from low to peak and on the first peak day OH was away so we didn’t get to bd as much at all – hence why I am totally surprised!

    This was our schedule this month:

    CD1 – 11 Low BD on CD7 & CD10
    CD12 – Peak OH away so no bd
    CD13 – Peak – BD evening
    CD14 – High
    CD15 onwards low

    The last time I got my bfp it was exactly the same we hadn’t bd’d much at all during that month.

    Oooooo fairy, that gives me hope! We bd'd on 2,6,9,13,14 and 19/20 (not sure of exact time!!). The downside for me is that I haven't got a clue when and if I ov'd! Oh well, guess I'll find out in a week or so.

    Ok I know we're supposed to, but . . . If we SS what I would I look for and when?

    So how are you feeling now? Is your dh proud of his swimmers?!

    Hope the rest of you chatty ladies are keeping well xx

    *waves* I'm a bit confused actually, CBFM says CD23 but I thought it was 24 - apparently I can't count!!

    Feeling grotty still, had a few anxiety attacks which have also triggered off my stomach and IBS. Have a gut feeling we weren't successful this month, so have promised myself a bottle of wine and a tub of Haagen Daaz chocolate ice cream next weekend :T
    I should actually be on knicker watch since I have had 24 day cycles - fingers crossed!

    ((Hugs)) Perdi, the wine and HD sound like a fair consolation prize if needed. I think I'm a day ahead as I am defo CD 24. My average cycle is 30 but that is only based on two post pill afs, so god knows!

    Hi Doglover, all well here thank you. I'm either CD15 or 16 and am into the long 2ww. I wish the 2nd 2 weeks of my cycle went as quickly as the 1st 2 weeks! :D

    How are you getting on with the opks? Have you tried them yet?

    Hi Murray, I tried one opk and then forgot! How lame am I. I intend to top up the supply you sent (thanks again :A) and do it properly next month. Yuck, the 2WW :(. When is your test date? Did you have a succesful BD schedule? Hope so :).

    Primmer what pup do you have? I'm very jealous! I still miss my little pup soooooo much but DH thinks we should hold off getting another until things have moved on with TTC etc. Not sure I'll last ;).

    If I'm not mistaken there have been a few BFPs in the past week, so don't be so negative, you never know.... And as I say to my wife, I'm sure that the bundle of cells that might turn into a baby can pick up on all these positive and negative vibes, and that they'll have an impact on him/her too...

    As for our testing etc, it's going to be a long weekend, looks like we won't know any more until next week, there's an appointment with a midwife booked but a scan will probably happen as well to see if there really is an eptopic pregnancy as well as the proper one in the proper place. I think this wait is going to be longer than the 2ww that some of you seem to be talking about... ;)

    Im naturally a negative person :p Lily turned out fine :rotfl:

    I think it will be bfn as i didn't actually get a + on my opks, im only going from what info Fertility Friend gave me. It was my first real cycle since giving birth so i didn't know what to expect.
