Advice re OPK please-very early smiley face

Hi business. Hmm, defo go poas again!

Cd9 for me and third flashing smiley. In the food shop yesterday I bought one of those chinese "takeaway" for two from sainsburys so that's going to hopefully set dp up to dtd after

but done one on 25th july with second urine , i meant to say

Hi everyone,

Im suppose to be due AF 25th july, no show up to now.

I feel like period symptoms, crampy tummy, achey boobs.

I done a PG CB test with morning urine on 23rd july and there was faint thin line on the cross. but done one morning urine with no 25th july and it was negative.

Did my post get posted, coz i cant see it

Thanks for the welcomes strawberry fingers crossed for your fixed tomorrow! Im not holding out hope for one til Sunday/Monday.

Is it just me, or is anyone else worried about giving their oh "burn out" by dtd too much too early?! I don't want him to be knackered and miss actual O! i reckon will dtd every other day whilst getting flashes. Thursday is always out anyway as he plays football. So tonight I have a hot date with a bath and the tv remote!

Welcome tea1sugar!

Glad you were able to compare the lines, Blue, hope you manage to dtd lots now!

MS is a good sign, BNmum, even if it doesn't always feel like it. I think mine cleared up at about 15 weeks, though theydo say that it's usually more like 12.

really feel for you, Bambi. Must be awful waiting. Hope you can either draw a line under this month or celebrate tomorrow. Hoping for the latter for you, but at least you can drink at the wedding if not.

How are you, Business?

Good luck for a fixed tomorrow, Strawberry. Hoping I get one too. Didn't manage to dtd today as DP got performance anxiety. Think he's stressed out. Hope it's better tomorrow, as I don't hold out much hope for dtd for the rest of the month if not.

Thanks strawberry! Here's hoping!!

Also hoping you get your fixed!!! Xxx

My dd already doesn't have a nap so was trying to tempt her into my bed to watch cartoons! Ha ha! Didn't work!! Well I suppose either way I must have ov late or i would have had af? So depends if hubbies swimmers lastest very long in there! Think I'm out tho! Didn't test today so not tested with fmu for over 2 days so will test in the morning and not going to wee all night as then will definitely have fmu!! If negative defo out and will book into doctors next week!!

No wonder you are feeling worn down by it all, do you think your ov could have been delayed? Yeah, I also tried to have a lie down when DS had a snooze, it didn't work at all, I think he may be trying to get rid of his lunchtime nap. NNNOOOOOOO!!

Also soooo tired this afternoon, thinks the mind in constant overdrive as well as the weather! Trying to have a lay down to dd. not working!! Needed this weekend!!!

Pretty down by this waiting in limbo business but not much I can do!!

Yes most people passes by 12 weeks but for me was about 20 :(

Does it usually pass by 12weeks bambi? Like I say I don't remember feeling like this with #1, although hubby said I was (I'm sure he's made that up!).

How are you feeling today?

Oh rubbish Bnmum! Hopefully you are further along than you think like the doc thinks and it'll pass by 12 weeks??!! Fingers crossed!! Xx

Truth be told bambi I feel awful, I'm so nauseous and tired but trying not to think about it too much.

Hi again tea, yes I had lots of flashing and phoned helpline and lady said it was normal! (Thanks for putting that I the bloody box!!!) hope you all get your fixed soon but if you Dtd every other while flashing lady said that will cover you if it doesn't for some reason turn fixed!!

Bnmum glad to see you're doing well!

No af yet just to keep everyone updated!! Haven't tested today as really don't think I have any chance will do one Tomo morning so I know I'm okay to drink at wedding at weekend!!

Hi tea and welcome!

Whoop whoop! For your fixed blue, I hope you recover enough to dtd lots over the next few days. Happy humping!

How's things with everyone else? Any BFPs, afs or fixed smileys?

Hi blue Ah cool thanks, well I'll hope for a fixed on sunday, that'd be cd11 which as you say, should fit in with my cycle. Here's hoping! Happy dtd!

First day of school holidays - yay to 7 weeks of work

Oh and thanks for all your experiences with telling others about ttc. I'm not super close to my dad, I don't usually share personal things with him expect illnesses or something, but my brother has always told us when they are ttc. I guess it's different for the woman though, it's a lot more emotional and personal perhaps. I think I'll not tell him for now.

Hi tea, we meet again . Are you using the advanced opk rather than the monitor? Even though the opk says they give you two days of flashing smilies, it could actually last 4-5 days. Or even longer in my case, but that's only because my cycle hasn't established itself yet after the pill, unlike yours. But if your cycle stays at 25 days, then having a fixed earlier on fits with that.

Well I still didn't get my fixed smiley, but that's because the stupid opk took yesterday as the base line when levels were already elevated. I just checked the lines and they are similar to when I got a fixed last month. So I consider it as a fixed! Yay! Now I hope that this time it will actually result in ov, so fingers crossed for a temp rise in the next few days.

I am knackered today though! My oh made me 2 cups of tea yesterday, but he gave me regular tea, whilst I have been on decaf for 3 months now. I must have become sensitive to caffeine, because I couldn't sleep last night! Was lying there awake for hours listening to my oh happily sleeping...

Hi I've been recommended this thread so may I join? I'm
Ttc no 2 cycle 2 off the pill. My period returned quickly after 25 days and now in the second cycle I've had flashing smilies days 7 and 8 which seems very early. Has anyone had several days of them before peak?

Hey thanks guys!! I've given up on thinking I'm pregnant as way to much past ov and Dtd not to show now!! So just a waiting game for af!! I've even allowed myself wine tonight and a takeaway as a little treat!! Feeling much better about it!! At least I'm almost at a year of ttc since visiting docs so can go back soon!

I have told about 5 friends were ttc. They don't ask about it unless I talk about it, they're quite sensitive to not asking 'are you pregnant yet' which they did in early days!! I find it helpful taking about it when I need to! Also will want help with daughter when I finally get pregnant if I get morning sickness so think I may as well have a support network!

Rubbish about opks starting again! Ring up maybe they will send you another box for free?? Hoping they still go fixed for you!!

Bnmum at least you will get an early scan if you're right!!

Good idea re: the reflexology Blueamber. Nice and relaxing and it's doing something healthy and positive and might be just what you need.

I've told a couple of NCT mum friends that we are ttc, because it's a subject that comes up so often. I haven't told anybody else though. I told a couple of close friends when we were ttc ds though. I haven't told my family and didn't last time, but we don't live anywhere near them. I think I would consider it though if we lived nearer as there are only so many times I can turn down coffee etc. So, I suppose it depends how close you are to your dad, Blue. If you have a good relationship and you think he might be able to help (and won't worry too much on your behalf) then do it. It's a bummer re: the opk, so annoying. Good job you kept your old sticks!

Another flashing smiley for me too today, Strawberry. Let's hope we see our fixed ones soon.

Hope you don't have to wait too much longer, Bambi and Business.

I'd go with your dates, too, BNmum, you know your body better than the dr.

Nope, have not had a fixed smiley. Even worse, the OPK has given up on me. Put the stick in the clearblue advanced reader thingy and it indicated it was starting a new cycle. So got a circle. But when I read the lines it did look like oestrogen was higher and LH slightly higher as well. I am comparing it to my 79 or something other used sticks in my drawer, lol.

Reflexology is where they put pressure on certain parts of your feet in order to stimulate other parts of your body. They will probably put pressure on the ovary and cervix bit and will also see if there are any parts that are sensitive. I'm thinking if it doesn't actually work at least I will have some time being relatively relaxed and having my feet rubbed. I'm going on Saturday.

BNmum, your due date seems very early and inaccurate. Are they actually going to scan you to find out your date or will they wait until 12 weeks for that? If they base that on you last AF it will be pretty soon as well. At least you know yourself when the DD will be, based on your ov.
