Who's testing round about 21st of July? Fancy being mental together?

Ok so best guess is OV sometime in the past 3 days. Should really wait until 21st to test going by previous cycle length.

I'm not a good 2 week waiter. Am impatient and mental and a particularly avid symptom spotter. Please come and keep me company in this fortnight of doom...........

Although reading through this thread, I should probably admit, I've only decided to stop poas because I went a bit crazy for a few months just there poas 4 times in one month, poas after AF just incase, and poas super early incase I got a faint little line...

I'm trying to save my sanity!

Hey op, you must be my ovulation twin Wink ive given up testing now though and just wait for dear AF to make her unwelcome appearance.

Well, before birth control (many moons ago) I didn't spot. The reason I changed from the pill to the injection was that I did. Though I didn't with subsequent pill usage.

So, this is my second cycle without BC and I don't actually know what is normal really!

Ooh, Camel (waves back) I think I'm about that too. The only difference is length of cycle. :-)

Not sure I caught it this month though, what with tiredness and not wanting to force the issue with H2B when we are only on our second cycle. I am sane in RL, only mental on here!

And I've had spotting since CD14, CD18 now. Annoying and makes me think I've no chance. I have to admit to POAS on CD14 as I felt so weird though. Dunked a HPT and an OPK simultaneously. Not odd at all!

Hi Lisamol and NicolaHazel

lisamol I applaud your insanity levels. Similarly I only tested on CD3 as AF lasted for 8 hours on CD1 then went AWOL until CD4. God knows what was going on.

Going from the feel of my cervix I'm pretty sure I'm 1 or 2 DPO so let the countdown begin....

Yes I've had no Ewcm yet so that's adding to the uncertainty, I've only been looking at that for this cycle and one before though so not sure what is " usual" for me, I love Poas too much lol
Think I had bad ov pains last month but nothing again so far so will keep making myself dtd until I'm sure or its got to cd20 something

Oh snap re OV uncertainty (and taking a break from all the sex). I feel vor you having to keep going. Nothing like obligatory humping to kill the mood.

Im normally pretty regular give or take a day or 2 but also normally get a fair bit of EWCM. None this time (or I missed it) so not sure what to make of that. Get very noticeable OV symptoms that stop almost immediately after OV so I'm hoping I must have done....

Lol at pick up lines, can you imagine..... so would you like an epo or opk?
How regular are you ?
Well you sound as certifiable as me, I tested dpo6 last month!! Still I did manage to stop when ad came!!!! What were you thinking lol
I'm on a mad did I didn't I ov at the minute which is worse as I like to give up the dtd after dpo2 so now I've got to keep going!!!

Hi kitty!

Make yourself at home!

Must say your "think I've seen you around" has made me laugh. Is like chat up line or similar! Makes me thing of strange TTC devoted pick up joint where everyone makes small talk about CM, temps and OPKs. Ha!

I have GOT to wait until 21st this month. Had a bit of a mental breakdown last month and tested intermittently from CD19 (I'm know, I know I'm a fecking idiot) all the way through to CD3 of this cycle. Had clearly lost allllllllll of my marbles. Determined to try and be a tiny bit less bonkers this month.

So, how you feeling? Positive? Boarder-line certifiable? Sick to death of all of the sex.... (think I am the last 2!)
