snoozysleeper · 22/08/2013 10:54

long tailed colostrum?!

I would've gobsmacked if you weren't pregnant Smile

You have far greater discipline than me, I would have POAS by now Blush any chance your DH could sneak home earlier??

Fx for you, update us when you get the official bfp

LongTailedTit · 22/08/2013 10:38

Morning all!
I still haven't POAS, waiting til DH is back at the weekend, but... Swollen and achy boobs and WTF - righty is producing colostrum????!!!

AF due on Saturday (if this month is a 31dayer), so definitely testing then.
I mean, really, colostrum???!

Well after coming off the pill I had a bleed 1 week after then my actual period 2 weeks after that so hopefully ill know how long my cycle is this month or can hope for a miracle and get pregnant first time!

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 20:54

Me too but af should be about 14 days after ov so looks like its due Sep 3rd for me if my cycle is 'normal'.

Nulanoo · 21/08/2013 20:42

I have an app on my phone that says AF is due 8th Sept but I feel like I could have possibly ovulated earlier than what the app says as I'm still uncertain on the length of my cycle!

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 20:03

How many dpo are you? Wondering if we'll be testing around the same time!

Nulanoo · 21/08/2013 19:52

Well I'm really not sure i noticed the ewcm on Saturday and I've felt a bit achey too also randomly feeling really travel sick in the car but that's probably unrelated!

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 19:50

Yeah,I'm the same - had ewcm including spotting, raised temp, sore boobs and also positive opk. I'm now 1dpo. How about you?

Nulanoo · 21/08/2013 19:47

Just the ewcm for 3 or 4 days and now that's stopped. Who knows though!

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 19:46

Hiya! What signs did you have to make you think you ovulated? I think I ov yesterday so am now in the dreaded 2ww!

Nulanoo · 21/08/2013 19:44

Hello :) well I think I might have ovulated although if I have it was very soon after AF. This is my first proper cycle after coming off the pill so all very new. We have been dtd every day! Hope this is ok although it's pretty much what we had been doing before ttc anyway tmi!! Xx

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 19:28

Ha ha,thanks! I came off the pill two weeks ago and am now on cd20, just hoping that I'm ovulating and that everything's normal! Hope it goes well for you on Friday.

layla1976 · 21/08/2013 19:25

ignore that same message...dunno what happened there?????? ... the hospital lost my tests a couple of times ad the tests are all about timing an it just seemed to have worked out well this month time/day wise...lol... also i gave up for a year as the stress was starting to make me ill... but i;m raring to go again...lol....if you wanna keep busy i'm always here talking crap for you to listen o hahhaha

layla1976 · 21/08/2013 19:21

i never seem to get ewcm..so have used special fertility lube that mimics it this month but i now have a uti so feel like crap...think i'm out this month too Sad ....5dpo and counting...having tests on friday though to see if ov actually does take place or not...i'm 37 so need all the help i can get!!!....goodluck ladies and keep me posted...baby dust to you all....xxx

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 18:25

Ah right. So it was a few years ago but you're only having the test now? Good luck to you.

I am finding it hard to stay busy because I'm a teacher and so currently off work, but I know you're right!!

layla1976 · 21/08/2013 18:22

Vjones1985... i know its hard but its always best to wait... i got a positive test a few years ago then a few days later it was negative...something called a chemical/spontaneous abortion or something...apparently it happens to 1 in a very small number of pregnancys , they just dont take..i would have just thought my period was late but instead i felt a huge loss...so wait if you can....goodluck though...try to keep busy....xxxx

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 18:21

Layla why has your doctor decided to give you that test? Have you been ttc for a certain length of time?

layla1976 · 21/08/2013 18:19

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 17:51

Hi Layla. I'm 1dpo so obviously no symptoms for me. Thinking of testing next Saturday but I know I should wait a bit longer. Argh!

layla1976 · 21/08/2013 17:47

right i'm pulling up a chair on the dreaded 2ww ..... goodluck girls ...i'm 5 days past ov... and have imaginary symptoms etc...but its always a big fat no ...hopefully lots of BFP's for everyone this month!!! GOODLUCK!!!!!!

JellyBeanDavey · 21/08/2013 12:27

Keden a lot of people don't know. Just saves you getting a false positive with a evap line x

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 12:03

Next month I will have to only do it in the evenings because I'll be back at work so hopefully I'll still get good readings then. Am considering giving up opks next month though as I had physical signs of ov so could just use them.

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 21/08/2013 12:00

Thanks JellyBean and VJones1985!

I didn't realise you actually had to let the pee cool down Confusedé

Yeah sounding more like something I'll just do in the evenings. Don't want to fuss about with pee cups and what not at work. Thanks all.

VJONES1985 · 21/08/2013 10:02

Keden - been using cheap strips from Amazon, they just produce a dark line if positive. I used then in the afternoon for a while then switched to 11am and that was when I got the positive readings.

jelly - thank you for being so kind. I don't want to piss people off when I have so many silly worries. Anyway, I was on Ovranette for 12 years and had signs of ov for the last three days.
