The late November/ Early December Transatlantic flight!

I'd go for it if I were you Chunky. Hell, my +ve was Sunday afternoon and I'm considering one last shot this evening! I've decided to orchestrate a "shock and awe" offensive against my non-pregnant state this cycle so have been trying to bombard my eggs with as many swimmers as DH can muster!

I have spent much of the morning doing 'period maths' on my app or in my head. I got my first OPK +ve yesterday evening & keep wondering if DTD Sun a.m. & Mon night will be enough, or if DTD again tonight will be worth it. Tempted to anyway, belt & braces type approach. Also concerned that we should have DTD Sat as well; although in the past we've only needed to DTD on day 14 to get a BFP... Sun was day 14 so who know's??!!! I say this in empathy of your situation Pandawatch!!!

I have never used the OPKs before this cycle but wanted to check that my hormones were sort of ok after the chem pg. Now I'm not sure they haven't just made me more anxious

This plane is getting a bit full. I hope I don't get shunted down to economy!!!

Thanks Pickled and Pipbin. I haven't really thought that much about 2wws on the last couple of cycles as I didn't get any +ve OPKs so just waited for AF's latest arrival date to test (or got pre-empted by AF prior to testing )

Hi Panda

I'm not entirely certain, but didn't want to leave you unanswered while I'm on here, but I would've thought 2ww is straight away?

I have an OPK/2ww question - if I got a +ve OPK on Sunday does that mean my 2ww started then or would it be approximately 48 hours after? I know it doesn't make a massive difference although 48 minutes seems like a lifetime at the moment, let alone 48 hours but if anyone can help me work out my 2ww better it would be very much appreciated!

Just realised my AF is actually due 18th March, not 20th as previously recorded, also added Roxy31 and Crazytictac to the list...

Hey everyone, I jumped on before take off and have been out cold resting my eyelids since

Can see you've got through 6 lovely pages already so I'll grab a cuppa and stay awake for the rest of the flight catch up.

Just a quick update of where I am...on CD9, should Ovulate this Sunday (I always get very obvious EWCM)....so have been SWI every other day recently, planning to up this to everyday (May even consider using his tool without consent if he's too tired ) as of Thursday through to Tuesday.

Some tips on how to be patient for the 2ww would be super?

Last month was our Cycle #1, but I was really poorly around Ov and wouldn't let him near me, except for once, then I totally convinced myself I was pregnant and symptom spotted and used 15 tests (cheapys off ebay) until AF arrived 3 days late! I know it was probably hormones, but I was devestated disappointed. Then I reality checked and realised it can take take a heck of a lot longer than 1 cycle!!!

QT and Eliza best of luck for the 2ww :) soooo hard to get through it with sanity still intact.

Pip agree with Crazy very wise words, no control is hard, espeically if any of you guys are a control freak like me lol.

Cherry aww, so disheartening to see a BFN, try and stick it out to test saturday, got my fingers and toes crossed for you, patience is a virtue apparently...

xx

So on Sunday I got my first positive OPK (first time using clearblue digital ovulation kit, had been using ebay sticks before then). I'd convinced myself I wasn't ovulating so when I saw the smiley face I nearly fell over with shock! Had DTD early hours of Saturday, Saturday afternoon then straight after +ve OPK on Sunday, yesterday morning and this morning so I guess we've done all we can and it's just sunk in that I'm now officially in my 2ww

Thanks crazy I've already said I wouldn't test until 18th march as I have irregular cycles I wanted to wait until AF really was late. But as it appears I ov'd quite early this cycle I might not hold out that long. The 18th seems so far away.

Try not to be too despondent cherry it's early days yet. I'd wait and test again at the weekend. Hopefully a BFP will come your way then.

Well I could take no more and POAS this morning BFN holding onto the hope that it is just to early to test. AF not due until saturday.

Must be nerve wracking chunky, really hope you get a buyer soon. Your agent any good? We want to move too ( same reason as you and this area is a bit of a dive) but no where near ready yet.

Ooh, really hope this is your month QT and Eliza, the 2ww seems to go on forever eh? And wise words Pippin, DH keeps telling me " to relax, it will happen" but no guarantees and easier said than done!

Thanks pipbin. I will go by your wise words and assume the same hmmm so that means I am in the dreaded tww then. Yikes!

Nice one on the positive opk chunky, you can stop worrying and swi to your hearts content now Hopefully the house things will sort themselves out just as easily.

Can any of you lovely ladies give me some advice on opks please. I am using the internet cheapies and as far as I can tell have not yet had a positive. However last cycle on cd27 I did have a very dark line, not as dark as the control I don't think but it was very obvious. I went on to have a 41 day cycle so that ties right in with my lp (if I do have a 14 day one but I'm not even sure I do!). Anyway on CD15 this month I had the same dark colour line. Dark but not a positive I would say. On CD16 I forgot to test (damn) and every day since I've had no lines at all. I do have some clearblue opks and I really now wish I tested later on cd15 with one to check if I did have a positive but I didn't. Hindsight is such a wonderful thing!

I have very varied cycles ranging on avearage from 30-42 days so really could ov at any time. I will carry on using them this month as they are so cheap I don't mind wasting them say to speak. I'm trying to look at cm as well but just seems creamy all the time to me. I can't really chart as I wake at such duifferent times due to DH's shift I don't think it will give me an accuarte picture.

Anyway sorry I'm rambling now but do you think this is a near to a positive I will get? May get a CBFM next month to see if that helps. Thanks for reading!

Thanks Cherry we've been on the market since the summer & we're getting tired of the whole process - there's only so far you can drop the price to encourage viewings iykwim!!

And yes Crazytictac we are trying to buy a bigger house in a good primary school area, so going from our first house to the next rung up. We've stopped looking for a while, but noticed a house we loved but was outside our budget has dropped the price to within our budget, we just need to sell to get it!!!

Hi cherrypie :)

Ah thanks chunkychicken and bettergetamoveonfor the welcome. This is the first thread I've joined on this topic and was feeling a bit shy after lurking for a while! Sorry no luck with your house chunky, fingers crossed it sells soon. You looking to buy at the same time?

Welcome Crazytictac
Hi Roxy

Chunky I sympathise with you on the whole house selling it has taken just over a year to sell we should move in 4 weeks and I still dare not get my hopes up.

Got a clear, def, without a doubt positive on the OPK tonight so clearly all is not lost!! Will be BDing the night away

Thanks again though ladies - nice to have someone to vent to about this, as only person I can discuss this with is DH & not sure than sharing so much info isn't killing the romance as it is!!!

Hi everyone, please can I upgrade from the bus to this flight? Been avoiding mumsnet in last week since af. But I know I'll be lurking come the tww & after the bfps last month I'm feeling hopeful (again!)

Roxy31 ttc#1 cycle 7 af due 15th March.

Hi Tuesday - think we were sat together last time. Sorry about your af x

Thank you Pandawatch Eliza & Better - it was good to hear a sane voice and give me hope. Think we will have a go again tonight (will also try the OPK again just to see if it got darker etc.) and maybe tomorrow and see how we feel later in the week...

Hello Crazytictac sorry to hear your cycle is out of sorts. I also had a chem pg, bug only last month, so hoping to get another BFP soon & it actually stick. Fingers crossed for you.

Not feeling particularly up for anything tonight, as just found out we aren't going to get an offer on our house after getting a second viewing, which isn't unexpected but bloody annoying. Just want SOMETHING to go right lately :(

Crazyticta, welcome, hope this is your month.

Chunky, i had a positive OPK line last month on the Friday and we DTD. We did nothing on the Saturday as i was away all day and then on the Sunday out of curiosity i took another OPK and there was still a line! We were both ill on the Sunday so missed didn't dtd. I say you should go for it again!
