Well I am dusting down the drivers seat and kick starting the April bus for those the BFP fairy missed on the lucky Mad March bus. Fingers crossed the destination for this one is 'Baby Central'.

Ok so I didn't poas this morning, totally forgot and had a wee as soon as I got up for work,
I am going to use my frer when I get home, can't wait anymore.
Not holding out much hope as I feel nothing,
But I'm cd39 today, so if I am pregnant something's bound to show lol.
Wish me luck
Xx

And I was also going to say is keep dtd until your bbt rises at least! Wink

I couldn't last month as I went away without DH for a few days and I'm annoyed with myself because I missed out on dtd a few more times before my temp shot up!

We dtd on the day I had a positive OPK (and lots of days before that) but didn't manage to dtd after that because I was away and I guess I missed out on a potential bfp because of that!

Keep at it because that egg could be there waiting for some more action Wink x

gillywillywoo · 08/04/2013 17:16

Hi candlestick I meant to reply to you as well!

I was in a similar position as you last month... Positive OPK and EWCM on CD17... Continued to have EWCM
on CD18.. However my bbt didn't rise until CD20.

It will happen eventually! X

CandlestickOlder · 08/04/2013 16:53

Thanks for the response Marie Smile Let's hope for some DTD tonight and a rise in temp in the morning!

gillywillywoo · 08/04/2013 12:55

FYI ladies worrying about when to dtd... I worry too!

Today is CD15 for me and only dtd once so far this cycle on CD13! Blush

Had a very long and heavy AF and was also working nights up until now so it's been a bit tricky!

However I definitely haven't ovulated yet... Seem to ov around cd17/18 previous cycles... My bbt is still low and I haven't had a positive OPK yet.

The plan is to dtd every night this week (I think I will ov wed/thurs). Hopefully it will be a lucky week! Wink Xx

twinkbat · 08/04/2013 12:34

I did poas but bfn. That doesn't dishearten thou as it took a good week to get faint lines last time and I only used a cheapie. I am regular as clockwork, the fact I'm late is enough right now. Just trying to keep calm as DH is convinced stress is evil and not keeping them sticky beans

marie456 · 08/04/2013 11:44

Good luck twink and ela!
Candle I think temp can take a day or so to rise after ov so it may still happen. I know that it rises only after ov has already happened. You can get a +ve opk without then ovulating, but I would imagine that if.you've had ov pains then you must have/be ovulating? Sorry for not a very helpful post!

ELA88 · 08/04/2013 11:19

twink I was going to test this morning (even though I said to myself I wouldn't till weds!) but I forgot and did a wee at 6am! So I will test tomorrow instead! Af 4 days late now! Also day 4 of horrible headache...I'm hoping this pain was for something and not just AF! Have you poas yet? Xxx

twinkbat · 08/04/2013 08:51

Been avoiding the thread on the 2ww as trying to chill this month. edd for mc was, well like now. So de-stress was the word this month (it's mrstwinks btw, felt like a nametweek)

Ok so bfp due today is missing in action, that is it isn't here and nor is the red witch (and usually I'd have had some spotting yesterday).

Hiccups are back (my most hated symptom) and been feeling much more pms-y. Quietly confident it might show but we'll see. No rush for the bfp as long as no AF in the meantime if you know what I mean.

Anyone else test this morning?

CandlestickOlder · 08/04/2013 08:21

Hi Gemma, welcome Smile

Can anyone help please. I'm only on my second month of temping and I started 2/3rds way through last month but it looked like I ov'd on cd18. Now it's cd20 and still no significant temp rise. I had quite bad ov pain last night and (tmi!!!!) some diarrhoea which I sometimes get - something to do with the estrogen surge. Anyone know why my temp might not be going up despite this? Can you get this ov symptoms despite not ovulating??

gemma277 · 07/04/2013 21:56

Would love to join.
TTC #2 cycle2
Bfp due 12/04/13
Waiting fx
Got all the symptoms headache, stuffed nose, tummy cramps( bet its my mind playing tricks, or AF visiting early...)
Anyways fun times.
Good luck to all, baby dust all the way round.

Alyssa1978 · 07/04/2013 21:28

No problem ganetgob I hope AF stays away from you and you get your BFP, fingers crossed for you.

gilly I used the clearblue smiley opks with ds #1 and I used them every morning with fmu, only problem I had with them was a false positive around cd11 but when I ejected the stick where the lines would be it was all smeared blue, no distinctive lines at all, worked fine after I started peeing in a cup and using a stopwatch to make sure I only dipped it for the alloted seconds and then got my actual positive a few days later.

lyndsey90 · 07/04/2013 21:28

Congrats pistachio!

I'm currently CD30. Not tested again since my last post. Bought 2 digital tests but am gonna wait a few days before using one because I really dont want to see a 'not pregnant' in black and white!

Ganetgob · 07/04/2013 20:55

Thanks for your advice Alyssa! I'll get a test and do it in the next couple of days. (That's unless AF decides to pay me a visit!)

Alyssa1978 · 07/04/2013 20:51

You don't sound stupid at all Ganetgob
First morning urine is meant to be the best, not diluted with anything, however both of my positives were with afternoon pee on a frer.
The longer you wait to test the more HCG hormone you will have in your system if pregnant.
I know what you mean about being nervous to test, but even if its a BFN its not over until the witch arrives.

MrsAVB · 07/04/2013 20:30

Haha gilly, being a list person sounds like great prep for being an organised mum! no lunch boxes left at home for your kids-to-be!
Hi mullin
Good luck to everyone POASing tomorrow morning!
Xxx

Mullin1982 · 07/04/2013 20:27

This would be my first proper try as well, so if I am it will be a huge stroke of luck, on the other hand trying very hard not to get my hopes up!!

WanabeMum · 07/04/2013 20:15

Hi mullin those symptoms have mirrored my own! My BFP is due 12th so we will be poas around the same time! Here's hoping Grin

Mullin1982 · 07/04/2013 20:05

Hi Everyone Grin - I'm new to this, hope it's ok to join the bus? :) I am ttc#1, 7dpo and hopefully due to get a BFP on 14th April, the wait is so hard! Had so many symptoms; nausea, creamy/watery CM, bloated, gassy, growling stomach, lots of cramping and even some bubbling feelings today; all pointing in the right direction so fingers crossed everyone please and i'll do the same Smile xx

Fuls · 07/04/2013 19:59

This is me

Fuls ttc#1, cycle7, bfp due 9th April

Getting lots of funny twinges in the pelvic area. Bfn yesterday :-(

littlepinkfizz · 07/04/2013 19:52

Great news on ll the BFPs! Many many congratulations Thanks

Today is cd 10 for me. Dtd cd 5,9 and 10.
Planning on Dtd cd 12,14,16, 19 ,21

Do you think this will cover me? Do going away on fri to Monday so that kind of mucks up the w/e for us. It's cycle 10 for me so getting anxious.

Keep your fingers and toes crossed for us all x

PistachioTruffle · 07/04/2013 19:46

Champagne, Candle, and Mrs, You're welcome!

Keeping everything crossed it sticks around. Have a clearblue digi to use tomorrow.

gillywillywoo · 07/04/2013 19:33

Does anyone here use clearblue digi OPKs?
I've been using superdrug ones and today I decided to buy some clearblue digi ones... Pack of 10.
When's the best time of day to use them?
Most people say to do them in the afternoon but the instructions say morning is fine....
Wanna get them right because they are expensive!!!!!!
