My last AF started 7th jan and I'm a 28 day cycle, and my app tells me I was due on today.

Sounds like you're not late yet Wardy!

Oh btw guys, I think I have answered my own question after conducting sme research. I think my new super senstive OPKs detect LH too low (25 miu), most OPKs detect the surge at 30 - 40 miu...hence the reason why my test is positive! Grrrr

Wardy I would just check the detection level of any brand. I have used First Response and ClearBlue but seeing as I am yet to have +ive I can't really back up my advice on PG tests!

I've been calculating it wrong this whole time

AnythingNotEverything What app do you use??

LLLx

It's called My Cycles - free on App Store and the pic is a pink Chrysanthemum.

Works for me - you can track symptoms and it averages out your cycles and tells you when your fertile time is likely to be. It's not fool proof, but my cycles are pretty stray so it's great for me.

Brilliant, thanks Anything, I shall be downloading that as soon a my iPhone is back up and running! Managed to accidentally (I swear!) throw it into the fireplace! lol

Does anyone else find they actually seem to make their 2ww longer just by hoping they don't get af?

Yes!!! I've made the wait do much worse for myself by obsessing!!

Sometimes I wish there was a little window that you could look in and say 'ah, so I'm ovulating' or 'oh, so that pain is implantation'... (sorry, bit weird, but would make things so much easier and none of this hanging around obsessing about what every imaginary symptom is!)

I know!! And this the only place to vent coz everyone else would think I was crazy!!

A window would be great! I always thought I would be quite relaxed about ttc, how wrong I was...

How's it going Mrslaq? Having anymore symptoms?

The only new one is that I burst into tears today, not sure that's a pg symptom though! Cramping seemed to ease off around lunchtime today. The more I over think it, the more I have convinced myself that I have just missed ovulation

I have been drinking plenty of (decaf) to try and cheer myself up, feel free to tell me to snap out of it! I think I'm going slightly doo-lally...

How about you? Any new symptoms?

I'm getting that feeling aswell missing ovulation but would the crampy/pressure feeling go on for 3 nites makes me wonder.sore boobs for the last two days but more noticeable today. And (sorry for this) snot like discharge.
Ive read people getting hormonal whilst pregnant, so it sounds hopeful!

Ahhh it worked, you have restored my hopes!

Spooky how similar our symptoms sound, although my boobs aren't doing anything unusual. I know exactly what you mean by "snot like", it's definitely not snot like in an infected sense but I had wondered what it was all about!

I have to go to a drinks thing on Saturday, was wondering about caving and having one as I was being a pessimistic grump bag, but perhaps I'll hold off in hope.

When are you testing? I was thinking about next Friday as that's the theoretical day my af is due and I'm scared of doing it too soon for a BFN!

U could always pretend to drink! Then nobody would suspect anything.

I'm not sure about testing, I think I might try to hold off as long as I can( im sure I will cave in sooner tho!

Its heart breaking getting that bfn.

Hey Ladies

I'm home from a long day at work. My girls are in bed so just having a hot bath before some dinner and relaxing and enjoying the last few hours of my twenties!

I have no symptoms tbh although do feel my boob are bigger it's all in my head

Like MrsLaq AF due next Friday so just waiting to see tbh.

AF due tomorrow tested this eve BFN!!!

Ahhh happy birthday queen! Sorry about the bfn wardy,fx afraid will stay away and you might get a different result in a few days.

*af

Thanks MrsLaq.

Today it's my birthday and I'm 29+1

No symptoms here. I will be really shocked and thrilled if we managed to get upduffed this month considering we had the bug the week I was ov.

Happy Birthday Queen of Clean!! All the best for the coming year!

* raises glass of champagne * Oooh champagne....

Apprx 4/5DPO today, defo feeling more pain. So much so that We couldn't BD...is that normal? We BD throughout the cycle not just during O, it takes my mind off things (well, sorta!)

How is everyone doing today? Symptoms? More BFPs?! Fx...

LLLx

LLL thanks I think we are all entitled to a large small glass of champers

Queen of Clean I feel guilty if I drink! Like I've given up or something...I dunno...I'll think about it, I would KILL a glass of champagne though! Hope you have a good day!

Wardy try and stay positive! A near impossible feat, I know! But I find focussing on what I want makes me feel better. If focussing on a BFP doesn't feel too good because you're just thinking about not having one yet, then just think about something else that makes you feel good!! Thinking of you...

Is anyone testing around Valentines Day?? How cool (and cheesy! lol) would that be? I think Ariel said she was...

My DP kindly reminded me this morning that I will be nearing the date AF is usually here...I didn't think he paid much attention tbf! lol

Have a good day girls.

LLLx

Hi LLL, im due af on Valentine's day! I think it will be a great gift I just hope we get one.
