NEW BUS BOARDING FOR JUNE 2012

Farfalla told me that it can take as much as 6 hours for the relevant OPK hormone to turn up in your wee, so if you assume you usually ov 12-24 hours after the surge starts, you can actually be ov'ing 6 hours after your first +OPK -- certainly my chart this month (first month mind!) showed my temp dip on the same day that I got my only +OPK........... so in short it seems it is possible to ov the same day as your +OPK.

Sorry, I've probably added to the confusion!!!

festie if you got a positive OPK on CD 15 then technically you should ov 24-36 hours later, making it CD15 or CD16 (I think!). From what i have read, it is normal to continue to have fertile cm (or fanny batter, as you so eloquently put it ) for a little while after ov, as this gives the little spermies a better chance of getting to the egg. As you have checked your cervix and it is now moved back into the low, firm position then i would assume that your batter should start to dry up (some women do get creamy cm in their luteal phase though). I would treat CD15 as ov day especially if your OPKs have been negative since. HTH!!! :)

oh Festie - i really wish i could help but im confused myself and have decided to count days and so done it before ov,and also while ov-ing( friday & sat)
im on cd19 and im due af on cd28 so im on 8dpo! just praying that this is my month! but i dont want this to consume me! dont want to get carried away!
fingers and all crossed for the BFP this month - i have a feeling its going to be a good one!

Yay! Big congrats Musical!!

Am having a bit of confusion over what my bod's doing this month.... Got a pos(ish) OPK a few days ago on CD14 and then it went fainter on CD15 back down to nothing on CD16 and today, which is CD17. So, working on this basis, my ov day would be CD15 ish right? But my fanny batter isn't playing ball, cos I've continued to have ewcm and a high soft cervix.

As of this morning, I definitely had ewcm, though I wasn't as lubed up as CD 15 and 16 (IYSWIM and TMI - sorry).

So, providing it all dries up tomorrow (which I'm guessing it will, since my cervix is already lower and firmer) when do I set my ov day? I'm not temping, so no clue there!!

Cheers m'dears! :)

Congrats Musical - im wondering how many BFP have we had since the start of this June Bus??

Ahhh man can we pls put on the list the BFP results so we have something to look forwards too! i remember Dial & Wellies was the first on here right!BFP!
2 ww so im not driving myself mad and will get stuck in to moving and work and will just wait and see!!!!!! 9 days countdown!!!!!!!

Congratulations Musical Happy and healthy 9 months. Let's hope there are many more for this bus.

Hi all!

I'm afraid I've fallen off of the June bus.. because it appears my last AF wasn't really AF, and I got a BFP on Thurs, confirmed yesterday! Completely in shock (took the test just in case, as I was having some weird symptoms and wanted to get it checked up if not pregnant!).

Afternoon ladies. Well I got unceremoniously thrown off the last bus so I thought I would come and hang out here.

Four friends and having or have just had babies this month. Grrr.

welcome newbies - cut, paste and amend the stats list!
ahhhhh Princessmummy - hold on and dont think about it only a few days and then test again! put down the tests and distract yourself!

princess I'm really sorry for your neg.... it might not show until after AF is due, though. patience! easier said than done

bfn. was just seeing symptoms that were not there.

help please! I'm thinking of testing in the morning! oh why am I so impatient.
af should be arriving tues or Wednesday.
watch this space....
only using poundland cheapie tho. I must be crazy.

Morninghasbroken - I came off Cerazette in May and had two strange cycles but went back to clockwork in July so can now say with certainty that I'm CD11 with AF due on 26th September and this will be my second cycle of actively TTC. Hope things settle down for you soon

Hello everyone else and good luck to those who are ov'ing just now.

Hello you lovely lot

Well, af has all but departed and I am now on day 8. Gearing up for a week and a bit of SWI before having to spend a few days in a caravan with the dc, dh and MIL. And probably when I'm ov'ing too . Still, we'll give it our best go

Room for a little one? I came off cerazette at the beginning of july and as yet my cycles have been crazy, mixed up things. Crossing fingers (and everything else except legs) that things will settle down soon though!

Thanks ladies! Indeed the deed was done! :o

Ha ha GTR - hole duly avoided (just about )!

Good luck MrsGrump - it's so hard playing the waiting game!

Sounds good festiemum, I got a couple of faint lines this cycle as well before a stronger line/positive result, and you've got other signs pointing to OV, so go jump him quick!

I'm 11 dpo-ish and going absolutely mad waiting for AF/POAS. Had a few twinges again today and some spotting.

Have a nice weekend everyone, I'll try not to obsess too much, so will pop back next week to see how you all are doing!

festie I have heard that if 50% of the test line is as dark or darker than the control line then it can be accepted as a positive - the fact that you have other exciting symptoms would have me tying DH to the bed and leaving him there until I am completely convinced that sperm has successfully met egg

I jumped DH as soon as he came through the door!!! Don't feel overly randy, but maybe a bit more than usual (have thought of nothing else all day) and dare i say, but the SWI was really good (not that it isn't normally )......ok i'm going before this hole i am digging gets any bigger!!

Well done Sn0w.

I have an OPK related question actually. Been doing them since CD10 (I'm on CD14) Today, after very faint lines every day, I got a stronger line, with a part of the line as dark as the control. I also have ewcm and am extraordinarily randy! Is this ov do you think?

Goes without saying I will be jumping DH tonight!

I finally got a + OPK! I did two, just incase it was duff, ha ha!
Looks like asda/boots own brands are just pants compared to the cheapy Amazon ones...

Hi All
AF has eventually arrived post mc (never thought I'd be so pleased to see her)So I'm back in the game!! And can move myself on the list

Summer maternity leave? Yes purlease

Oh that is a bummer trilottie but will be worth it :) I rarely see much difference in my CM tbh, despite have a frequent rummage in there, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day just to see what is going on - don;t think i have ever noticed EWCM and the times i think it was watery i am not convinced that it was now - i can only tell when it;s creamy! I was hoping that the OPKs would take some of the hard work out of it for me, but they are not that convincing either!! Argh, i thought getting pg would be simple, you hear of all these people (mainly family and friends) who weren't trying and they were pg very quickly (my DH's cousins wife is pg with her second and they weren't supposed to be trying until this month (she is almost 3 months now) - but they clearly were trying).

Best foot forward - lots of SWI and peeing to be done

Oooh Thank you GTR - very helpful.
This is my second cycle off the pill so thats why the first one was 69 days - tbh until the coverline popped up I thought I was anovulatory, judging by my CM which was on and off. I've just read the Q&A in FF which mentions that its a dotted line so might not be correct due to the missing ov symptoms so it advises to carry on SWI-ing.
Fingers crossed then! Will have to cut down on the drinking next week when we're on hols in the lakes. Darn it, had planned campsites specifically next to good pubs and all :(

Trilottie had a quick gander at your chart, and i would say that the temp rise certainly looks like ov and it's def good that your temps are remaining high as well!! I too have freakishly long cycles sometimes and FF charted my ov on CD12 was so happy as we had BD'd 2 days before, the day of and the day after so pg monitor was high - then had some low temps that dropped below the cover line and BOOM my cover line gone and no hope of oving at the moment at least!

I have been peeing on OPKs like a crazy woman (actually off to do so now) and although they seem to be getting darker they are never quite as dark as the control line, let alone darker! I would treat what your chart is saying as good sign and as long as your temps stay elevated for at least 18 days then you very well could be pg :)

What is your normal luteal phase? And has FF not indicated an AF date for you?
