OV determines when AF is due, depending on the length of your luteal phase. So you could be 10dpo tomorrow, Dulcet.

I have cracking OV pain again today...painful.

Actually explained smilies to Bri in the pub today! He now understands ovulation and shagging timing :-)

Well, can always convince myself I have symptoms pear! I haven't had any cm really which is unusual, I have a sore throat and I feel generally 'full' in the lower tummy region but nothing conclusive.

peardrop2 · 30/09/2012 22:24

Dulcet do you have any symptoms?

peardrop2 · 30/09/2012 22:20

Ooooooo exciting! I got a result at 10/11DPO. If you do test go for a FRER first :-)

DulcetMoans · 30/09/2012 22:11

I might test tomorrow but can't decide if its worth it! It would be 10 days after initial smiley but 10 days prior to AF due. Not really sure where that leaves me!

peardrop2 · 30/09/2012 21:41

Who's testing next? Isn't Tuesday for someone?

peardrop2 · 30/09/2012 18:53

Awww Dulcet glad to hear it went well!

DulcetMoans · 30/09/2012 18:15

Evening all! Wasn't as bad as I had feared. Only found one I liked and it was pricey!! More research to be done I think but at least I have done it. I went with MIL and cousin, they probably liked it more than I did! Felt really weird when they put a veil on. I can't believe it's me doing it!

I'm not scared...but I want a drink on my wedding day, even if only a few! And I'll be nervous enough without that :-)

We're in Camden, but I'm working tomorrow so we couldn't stay down :-(

Wow that's amazing resolve!! You almost sound like me scared of poas!
Whereabouts in London are you now? Could have stayed at mine!

Ooh, chickens, raspberries?! How lovely :-)

Still a few hours til the gig...can't wait!

I won't POAS at all, Lol...if AF doesn't come, I'll test on 23rd!

Lolcbcblemonlime · 30/09/2012 15:40

Oh I loved wedding dress shopping! But found it impossible to choose. Who are you taking with you dulcet?
Nic are you actually planning to poas on wedding day? Or the day before?

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 30/09/2012 15:27

Enjoy the concert Nic!!

Dulcet - I wasn't sure I'd like wedding dress shopping, but once u get into it, it's quite good fun. Just wear decent undies!!! And make sure u stop for Brew !!!

So it's day 26 in my cycle 2day & I don't think it's worked this month, I'm not holding out much hope for a BFP.
Had a very productive morning tho, dh & I put a roof on the chicken run & put some woodchip type stuff down for them!! Think the chckens are happy tho, they're getting all my maternal love!!! Blush

I'm watching the great British bake off now, getting tempted to do some baking this afternoon before cooking the first roast of this season!! Keep myself busy!! Smile

Ah, that makes more sense now :-) Fx all our shagging has the desired effect!

OP posts:
peardrop2 · 30/09/2012 12:59

Nicola yeah you're right about DtD ups chances before you OV, however, my GPs theory only applies to those men who may have sluggish sperm. My DH was tested years ago for another reason and he says they told him one of his ahem...balls produces less then the other. This is why the GP thought it would be a good idea for us to test this theory (saving up swimmers until needed) Sorry if I didn't explain myself very well earlier, I may have confused matters!

Dulcet I'm sure you will love it once you get into the swing of things. I do understand how you feel though, it's a bit like walking into the unknown for some! Let us know how it goes :-) exciting!!

Oh wow Nicola the 13th is looming for sure :-)

Classy, but no!

Why dreading it? :-(

I'm not girlie, but kind of enjoyed it. No tears though!

OP posts:
DulcetMoans · 30/09/2012 11:42

Not even a quickie in the car at the services nic? Haha!!

I'm going to try some wedding dresses in today. Is it weird to be dreading it?!

There will be no gig shagging, ladies! Yuck for public loo sex :-/

I heard you have a better chance shagging before OV as you've swimmers waiting, contrary to what your GP said, Peardrop. Definitely no hope today as we have to drive 200 miles home after the gig and I'm at work tomorrow. Will squeeze another in tomorrow evening, even if I'm exhausted after 3 hours' sleep.

And yes, AF / BFP now due on wedding day. I won't be testing! It's 13th, by the way.

Lolcbcblemonlime · 30/09/2012 09:48

I also had half a bottle of wine and some port last night lets. But woke up with a sore head Hmm
I can't go the whole month without alcohol. The stress of ttc is bad enough as it is!!

peardrop2 · 30/09/2012 09:46

lets vino is deffinately they way to go in those circumstances! Well done for getting through it :-) Give yourself a well deserved treat today!

letskiwithisthing · 30/09/2012 09:21

Haha lol @ the teenage shag!

So the baby shower went well, she knows she is having a little boy so lots of blue things around! Had a few vino's with some childless friends and learnt a lot about c sections and labour! Only had one question of 'when's it your turn?' so all in all a good night!

Just catching up on my guilty pleasure of X factor judges houses now Grin

Have a good trip nic

peardrop2 · 30/09/2012 09:08

Hang on! Nicola does this mean you could potentially have BFP on wedding day? Didn't you say wedding day is on 12th?

DulcetMoans · 30/09/2012 09:02

Yay for the smiley! Sounds like you should be packing plenty if the little dudes down there. Could you squeeze in an early/late one if it makes you feel better?
