Am re-posting the list as I'm clearly so overwhelmed with thoughts of SWI I couldn't quite work out whether Knitter was testing for ov or pg.

Knitter if you are 7dpo (I think?) that is still very early. I reckon try to hold out for a few more days as (and appreciate I'm guessing) based on the stats on tests you're still very likely to get a BFN for the next few days even if you are BFP. Stay hopeful and stay away from the sticks Smile!

KnitterNotTwitter · 13/10/2010 12:25

go for it Teds!

And for those of you who thought i'd test again before the weekend - you were right. Still no line though :(

Might try and wait a bit longer rather than make myself nervous/miserable :)

LadyGoneGaga · 13/10/2010 11:42

No, Getdown. I did one really early which was low but went back to sleep, got up at normal time and still really low. Either my hormones are still all over the place due to mc (probable) or it might be an implantation dip (unlikely but hopeful). Fingers crossed the latter.

Guys, don't use Clearblue OPK's unless you want to bankrupt yourselves! The cheapy ones work fine and you don't mind testing twice a day in case you miss the surge. This cycle I went through a whole pack of CB and thought bugger this and sent off for some from Access Diagnostics for much cheapness. And had a really clear positive on two days which tallied with EWCM, cervix position, ov pain and temp shift. Don't believe the CB hype!

Have, ahem, fun tonight, Teds. And hope you get your smiley when your DH is around Wombat!

Wombat33 · 13/10/2010 10:48

Morning all. I'm trying the grapefruit juice to. I'm hoping it will give me more EWCM this month. We'll see! AF has now left and so I started poas again this morning waiting for my smiley face. Sod's law it will come while my DH is on business next week but we can only hope it holds off til he gets back!

Teds77 · 13/10/2010 10:37

Huges for inbetweener and a Angry to share Luce's crossness at Dr.

Fingers crossed for cep

ravenlocks what is grapefruit juice meant to do? Generate more EWCM?!

I got a Smile from my ClearBlue OPK this morning which pretty much tallies with my UCL. Yes very expensive but am convincing myself that I'll just do it this one month... Honest...

DH is back tonight from working away from home so am going to channel Knitter's SWI strength Grin

GetDownYouWillFall · 13/10/2010 08:56

Morning all. 7 DPO for me now. Bored......

LadyGoneGaga your temps took quite a dip today, did you take it really early?

ravenlocks · 13/10/2010 08:20

Urgh, grapefruit juice again for breakie. Has this actually resulted in more EWCM for anyone?

ravenlocks · 12/10/2010 22:00

Oh no, inbetweener, so sorry for you. Lots of hugs from me too.

Luce what a disaster, sounds like they couldn't have cocked it up more if they tried. Let's hope they redeem themselves v soon.

PeevedEve · 12/10/2010 21:56

Thanks luce. I half-heartedly charted when trying for DD but it didn't take so long last time and I'm getting desperate now! I've registered with Fertility Friend also so will be interesting to see what's happening.

It's so infuriating when you can only have the tests at a certain time in your cycle and they've wrecked your chance this cycle

Luce2006 · 12/10/2010 21:40

PeevedEve good luck with the charts! Mine are always all over the place thanks to my lovely DS...Angry

Luce2006 · 12/10/2010 21:38

kat2504 they said they were going to get it ready for me but I bet if I go there at the end of the week it's still not ready....

kat2504 · 12/10/2010 21:36

Luce what a total display of incompetence. No wonder you are fuming mad. What are they going to do about it now?

knitter step away from the sticks! I won't be putting money on it though I used 8 last month. I've started the ov sticks two days too early cos I can't keep away from sticks. Hopefully feeling pregnant is a very good sign. Fingers crossed for a Friday bfp then?

Luce2006 · 12/10/2010 21:35

inbetweener sending you massive hugs, sweetie!!

PeevedEve I think I have to wait for my next cycle to arrive to eb able to have the test again...I read somewhere that it has to be done on day 3 Sad I felt like putting a bomb yesterday....

PeevedEve · 12/10/2010 21:33

I've bought a CBFM and have started charting this month so I mean business!

Luce2006 · 12/10/2010 21:33

KnitterNotTwitter 2x /3X night?????Confused gosh i can't even get 1 shag every couple of days Blush I admire you, you are my new idol Grin

PeevedEve · 12/10/2010 21:30

What a nightmare luce - no wonder you're angry. How soon before you can have the test again?

Luce2006 · 12/10/2010 21:29

ravenlocks thanks for adding me to the list! Going to make this a "MAKE A BABY MONTH" so I'm back on Vitex,Evening Primrose Oil ( let's see if I can get more EWCM) and pre-conception vitamins. Also have a consultation with a reflexology tomorrow and one with an acupunturist on Friday...I'm sooo stressed ( although DH can't understand why Hmm so I had to remind myself that he's a man....)

PeevedEve · 12/10/2010 21:27

Hey ladies

Sad for inbetweener.

AF arrived today so off to the back of the bus for me. I get another go on the July bus so will be sticking around.

Luce2006 · 12/10/2010 21:21

Good evening to all!!!Sorry I haven't been on here to much but I'm soooo p*d off lately....can't rememebr if I told you about the DR I saw a while ago for a second opinino who laughed at me and told me I was obsessed? well, that same Dr sent me a blood form by post a couple of weeks ago after I complained to the Surgery and requested to have a blood form for the Prolactine test ready. Well that useless DR sent one but she just put 'infertility investigation' on it so on Friday I called the H and askde it the form was ok.A very sweet woman told me that with thta form I was going to be turned away,so I called int he Surgery on Friday and asled for it to be amended quite quickly cause I needed to go and have the test done on specific days and that day was yesterday. Was told not to worry that it was going to be ready by Friday evening. Yesterday I went to collect it and guess what????It wasn't readyAngry !!!NO ONE had passed the message over to a Dr so my form was stashed in a drawer Hmm They apologised and promised I would get it done by 3pm ( the hospital wing where they do blood test closes at 4pm)and I don't drive so I needed time to get to the bus stop and get on a bus. Went there at 3 and guess what?????? NO DR'S HAD A LOOK AT IT!!!!!!Angry so then another Receptionist apologised and told me to wait for a DR to become available. so at 3.30 she comes back handing me the form.....but it has the wrong test on it!!!!!Angry Last week I specified I wanted my Prolactine levels checked and they put a note with my form...it looks like the note got lost so the Dr assumed I needed the 21 day testangry was told to wait but told them to stuff it cause it was too late for me to get to the Hospital on time!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

LadyGoneGaga · 12/10/2010 19:37

Think Inbetweener had a very early mc, raven Sad. She's been over on the MC board so we could take her off and she can come back on when she's ready.

Hi everyone!

Luce I have added you to the back based on your longest cycle length, don't want to lose you from the bus, and you can update if you get any signs you might be able to predict your cycle length this month.

inbetweener or peevedeve, how are you doing?

Starting to SWI over here. Managed Sat and last night, got some twinges tonight which might be Ov signs, but only CD13 and never Ov'd this early. But as I am not charting or OPK'ing this month (this is my chill out month) we are just going to SWI every 2 days and see what gives. There has been lots of debate on the thread about daily vs multiple times daily vs every 2 days. I got pg last time on every 2 days, and so am going to go back to that this cycle....having done daily for a few cycles and no cigar.

Brill cep, might be the shortest bus ride in history! Let us know if you keep getting BFPs, would be nice to crown you as first graduate!

Can't wait for the BFPs to come rolling in!

thanks everyone. will be trying again tomorrow (and probably frequently :)) so will keep you posted

MrsP81 · 12/10/2010 19:07

Hey ladies

cep, a faint line sounds promising, I have my fingers crossed for you!

And I'm glad to hear that your herbal stuff seems to be doing the trick queenrollo.

Thanks for that link LadyGG, very interesting.

I'm just getting rid of AF here so will soon be time for some SWI-ing but first I need to get rid of this stinking cold that I've caught from somewhere. Bleurgh.

LadyGoneGaga · 12/10/2010 19:02

Cep a line is a line, no? How far past ovulation are you? I'd say congratulations are in order Grin

5dpo here. Have some tummy cramps today which am convinced are implantation. But prob just need a poo! Not going to test yet though. I didn't get a BFP still 14dpo last time.

GetDownYouWillFall · 12/10/2010 18:42

Waves to Knitter! I am on 6DPO too!! Oooh I wasn't going to test until next tuesday, do you think there's a chance of a +ve at the weekend?
