Ha yep incredibly sick of it now but definitely feel like we've covered all our bases! Hope this 2weeks goes quickly!
Ah I've heard a few announcements in the last couple of weeks.. one from this girl I used to go to school with who is one of the most horrible, nastiest people I've ever met... where is the karma in that??
Busy packing our lives into boxes at the moment- think we should be moving by the end of the month! Thought it had all fallen through the other day but it's back on now!xx

Blimey those are some impressive stats! I'm hoping we can match that this month. Well you can at least say to yourself that you did everything that you could this cycle. I've not had a month like that yet and am really looking forward to it.
It was mad shooting! I felt like I was in an Arnold Schwarzenegger film!
I hope you are lucky this cycle, but like you say you can enjoy your holiday with a few drinks.
This week I've heard two pregnancy announcements and one birth so hopefully there is something in the air that is catching! xx

Ha perhaps this wedding will have done the trick then for me! Had a fab night- it was the first civil partnership we've been to and was all beautifully done. The venue was fantastic, must have cost a fortune!
Ha have fun with all the bd'ing! My opk went negative again yesterday so bd'd last night before we went out and going to again tonight and tomorrow just to make sure, then leave it. All in all this cycle we have dtd cd7,9,11,13,14,15,17,19,20,21,22,23,24 and will be 25 and 26. GOT to have been enough surely??!!! My cycle is probably going to be about 38 days this month, grr. Although if I get my bfp won't care how long it was!!
Holiday sounds amazing- get you with the Ak47! Very impressive. And like you said, wouldn't have done that if preg so every cloud eh?!
That't what I'm thinking about this cycle.. if I don't get my bfp, I will be able to drink wine and limoncello while we're in sorrento next month
xx

That sounds very hectic! A good knees up at a wedding is always good to relax you. My sister conceived her 2nd at my wedding, we think!
Very frustrating on the ovulation front, maybe it will be an extra good egg waiting to be released?
After reading that book I'm going or DTD every day starting on Sunday! I'm well up for this cycle!
Yeah I would look into Vietnam. We stayed in Ho Chi Minh for most of it and there is lots to see. All the war remnants are really interesting. We went to the tunnels where the gorilla fighting took place and I even shot an AK47! Don't think I'd have had that experience if I was pregnant!
Have fun tonight! We've got a wedding next weekend and am hoping all that love in the room will set our egg and sperm off!!! xx

If I did ov when I first thought, I'd be about 11dpo today but think I started to get positives too early for it to have been about being pregnant. Would be nice, but I'm not keeping my hopes up too high! Hoping though that we will get our bfp eventually this cycle after it being such a lengthy one!
Might look into Vietnam- we like holidays like that, and my uncle went there whilst travelling last year and enjoyed it.
Do you have anything nice planned for the weekend? I am off to a wedding reception tonight so in the process of getting myself dolled up! Absolutely shattered today though as was running an arts and crafts stall at the county family fun day yesterday- had about 450 kids stop by throughout the day with their parents! Still finding glitter on myself now! xx

That does sound confusing! Not to get your hopes up, but it could be that you are pregnant? Apparently you get positive opks and an have egg white? How many dpo would you be if you ovulated when you thought? Time will tell!
Yeah I would recommend Vietnam. It's definitely one for those who like something a bit different and it has loads of culture xx

...But wednesdays test was also positive and todays is still a dark positive... so no idea what's going on! Usually only have a positive for one day. Getting a bit frustrated as presuming this means I'm not even in my 2ww yet!
Ha sorry to welcome you back with a load of moaning!!
On the plus side, a month today til we go to sorrento so something to look forward to! xx

Hi!! Lovely to hear from you and really pleased you had such a good holiday! Would you recommend Vietnam then? At least you've got a couple of days to recover before going back to work!
That's fab about the period! Hopefully they're completely out of your system now so next cycle you'll be on top form and ready to catch that egg! Great that your OH will be around too- all sounds very positive!
I'm having a bit of a confusing couple of weeks.. had an almost positive opk the monday before last (cd13), it was then fainter on cd14 so thought i'd ovulated in between and missed the firm positive, as had cramping. Carried on testing just in case, and the lines continued to grow fainter, until this monday when I had more ewcm and a near positive, and then tuesday got a dark positive. So thought perhaps I hadn't in fact ovulated last week after all.....

Hiya, how you doing? Had an amaing holiday - Vietnam is mental! Well no baby for us yet, which to be honest I didn't think we had done it enough, but then once again my body has tricked me! However for the first time in 4 months since coming off those vitamins, I got my period on time and it was totally normal! I'm so pleased that everything seems totally back to normal more or less. OH is around all cycle now so I feel like this month will be our first since I've had normal periods and normal egg white. Looking forward to this month and feel very relaxed after the holiday, so lets hope this all goes in our favour.
How have you been getting on? Xx

Thanks!! Cd12 today so not too far off ov now hopefully!
Well the negative test doesn't necessarily mean anything at this point. Keeping everything crossed for you! But if not this month, at least you didn't have too high expectations anyway and hopefully next one will be the one.
Have a lovely holiday and i will speak to you soon!! Xxx

Well I did test with a cheapo one yesterday morning, but I had already had four wees! Not really sure what I was thinking? Obviously it was negative. Not going to bother now until/if AF arrives. Have AF pains so think it might have been my good old body tricking me again, but we'll see.
Yeah the hen do was off, the weather is awful where we are, it's like a really sick joke!
The trains and planes seem to be ok, so not too worried. The rise of 34 degrees is going to be a shock to the system!
I'll update you when I'm back, arghhh... Good luck with your next cycle! Xx

I know you probably want me to try and help you stay motivated and tell you not to test... but testing wouldn't hurt, and I really wana know!! Although sometimes it's nice to not test, as all the while you haven't tested, there is still the chance you might be. It is sounding really positive though!
God that strangling dream sounds horrible!!
Oh no about the snow!!! Hope it goes soon so it doesn't impact on your holiday! Have seen a few photos cropping up on my Facebook feed of people living up your way with masses of snow... haven't had any here. Was the hen cancelled after? Keep expecting it to get warmer but hasn't yet! xx

OMG! Those texts sound terrifying! I haven't had any baby related ones. Someone wa trying to strangle me when I woke up screaming. I had a dream that I was back at high school last night, which was weird.
I really do feel different this month, but keep telling myself we didn't try enough and that I've been tricked before. Starting to get tempted to test but will wait. Think I'm 10/11 dpo today, so a first response tomorrow would probably be reliable. I'm going to hold off though. Have felt like I'm about to start AF for the last couple of days, which is top early and still have that energy/electric feeling down there??
Freaking out about the weather. We've had over one foot of snow, don't think I'll be on the hen do tonight. Just hope we can get to the airport and we aren't delayed! Bloody weather is ridiculous. It was about 25 degree on my birthday two years ago! Xx

Had to put that in two separate messages as my babbling exceeded the word limit haha... xx

God that sounds horrible about the dreams!! Are you having nightmares? Baby related or other stuff? I used to get bad dreams when i was stressed out about things- sleep text OH once before we lived together but luckily didn't send it as was talking about men being in my house who were brutally killing everyone inside.. would have given him the fright of his life if I'd actually sent it!xxx

Urgh I know... waiting for af to end, then waiting for ov, then the 2ww... neverending cycle of waiting!!
Ah lovely, busy packing this weekend then as well as the hen! Hope you have a lovely lovely time if I don't speak to you before Relax, explore and savour every second as could be one of the last holidays you have minus baby! Looking forward to hearing about it when you get back- quite fancy going there myself.
Ha yep a Vietnamese test could be your lucky charm! Is difficult to tell- I think every cycle my 'symptoms' seem stronger or slightly different- think ttc is turning me a little crazy! But plenty of people on here have seemed to 'just know' when they were pregnant... So you never know! Perhaps this is your month

Hope it comes quickly this month. It's so annoying waiting, feel like I've spent the past few months waiting! Come on bfp, we're bored now!!!
I fly on Monday! Think I might take a test, just in case. Or I could use a Vietnamese one, might bring me luck? If I hadn't had all the false alarms in the past I would now be convinced that I was pregnant, but it could just be a trick of the mind again.
Woke myself up screaming the other night, so the vivid dreams have started! Xx

I suppose you could pack a test just in case you're desperate to know? Then you will have the choice either way. Will be looking forward to finding out how you got on when you get back!!
I am cd9 today. Not too sure when Im going to be ovulating- my last cycle was still longer and didn't get a positive opk til cd17. Hoping it might be slightly earlier this month.
What date do you go away again? Memory like a sieve! X

2 hours!!! That's a nightmare!
Not sure what I am going to do about testing. I can't decide whether to take a test away with me or just leave it until I get back? I'm definately not testing early and will have plenty to distract me anyway.
I feel really strange about it all this month. I think because we didn't really 'try' and I didn't/don't think there is much chance, I have no desire to test at all. Just curious really as to what is going on. It's now feeling like my uterus is tingling, a bit like pins and needles. I've never experienced this feeing before, so it will be another to add to the list if I end up not being pregnant! I'll obviously update you as soon as I get back xx

Oo that sounds positive!! Well you never know, you may have hit the target after all!! Would be a lovely bday present!!
Will keep my fx for you!!
Hope you have a fab weekend then- think i remember you saying about it being in Leeds before now. Should be good! I've got a friend coming up from Plymouth so that will be nice.
Im alright now, although getting very sick of public transport with the lack of car! Its taking me 2 hrs to get to work and another 2 to get home... beyond a joke!!
When will you test? If af is late? Xx
