Hi woodwaj sorry to hear about PCOS, but great news they have out you on Clomid straight away, really hope that works out for you. Keep us all updated on your progress

woodwaj · 28/08/2013 12:44

Hi all update from me! Ive had my hospital appointment this morning which has confirmed pcos. However I have been put straight on to clomid and the doctor seems to think I will be pregnant by Christmas so fingers crossed

VickyVix · 28/08/2013 10:38

Woohoo!! That is definitely a positive OPK, sounds like you've done what you need to to be in with a good chance this month Grin good luck, I have my fingers crossed for you!

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 27/08/2013 16:28

Hi Vicky, yes it is. I did DTD last night and this morning Wink. Had to as DP travels for work this afternoon and isn't back till Friday. So it was now or never to try and get a BFP for Cycle 2.

In fact the line today is darker than the control line! You may be able to click on the link below now. Plus definite signs of EWCM. So I am convinced I've ovulated & now I just wait Cake

Hi Keden I can see a line, it's a teeny bit lighter than the control line but not much, I'd get DTD ASAP :) am sure if you've done another one today both lines will be v dark, good luck!

Thanks onelife this waiting game is hard. Looking forward to your update on Friday. I had really bad cramping last night but AF not due untill 5th which is odd, either way you're right our holiday falls over my fertile time so at least we can DTD lots if no joy this month Grin

onelifeonechance · 27/08/2013 07:32

Thanks V, I've got my fingers crossed for you too Smile. And 13dpo isn't really early, it may show you something (eek!). That's the thing with this ttc business, everyone is different. I've read so many things with people saying they got a BFP at day 9/10/11 etc. and others where they kept getting BFNs early on. I really do hope its your month. But if its not to be this time round I think your holiday is perfect timing for a good try for next month! And if af does arrive at least you can hit the cocktails!! Wine

Keden I can definitely see a line but as an opk virgin i'm afraid I don't really know what i'm looking at so best to wait for someone who does! I am planning on using them next cycle if af pays me a visit at the weekend so let me know how you get on, good luck Smile

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 26/08/2013 19:09

Vicky I couldn't either. Odd. Maybe this will worl?

VickyVix · 26/08/2013 18:19

I know it's probably way too early to test on 4th but unless AF arrives before that I'm going to test before we leave for our holiday, mainly so I know if I can have cocktails on holiday or not! I will take some with me though as know 13 dpo will be super early....besides I am 99% certain AF will get me. But, you're right, we should be away over the fertile bit for next month so could be worse.

onelife you sound nice and chilled which is great, hope it's your month. I have my fingers crosses for you :)

Will be checking on Friday For an update!

keden for some reason I can't click on your profile to check out the pic, probably me being stupid sorry!

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 26/08/2013 17:41

p.s. Tried to link the photo directly here but couldn't figure out how Confused

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 26/08/2013 17:40

Hello Everyone.

OPK experts...would you be so kind to take a quick look at my profile pic and let me know if you think the OPK line is dark enough to be postive?

I don't think it is myself, but I've read through some threads that imply it could be! I am supposed to ovulate today (according to the app on my phone), but I don't think this OPK is positive. Granted I POAS at about 12PM my time. Will try again later in the day as well.

Just curious for now!

onelifeonechance · 26/08/2013 13:07

3 weeks holiday? How lovely, have fun Not at all jealous Sounds like a plan, but don't be disheartened if you get a BFN before you go as its not over til AF starts singing! On another thread diamonds got a BFP day 16dpo, but BFNs days 11&12 so early testing not always helpful but understand you wanting to do it before your hols. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you Smile And if it doesnt go your way this month then sounds like you'll be on holiday for your fertile bit so lots more chance to dtd?

Af due Fri, was planning to wait til Mon to test but we're going to a festival this weekend so think I'd like to know if poss so unless af beats me to it i'm all set to poas on Fri! 2ww initially painfully slow but had lovely few days so feeling pretty chilled at mo.

Off out to enjoy this sunshine, have a lovely day everyone!

VickyVix · 26/08/2013 11:58

Sorry should have said, I'll be 13dpo on 4th

VickyVix · 26/08/2013 10:57

Happy bank holiday to all.

Hi onelife my BFP is due on 5th but I'm away from 4th for a full 3 weeks so I will test on 4th I think and see what happens, if nothing i may take some tests with me in case AF doesn't show up ......but it's first cycle so I am fully expecting AF to arrive on 5th. BFP would be lovely though :)

How is the 2ww going for you? When are you due to test?

onelifeonechance · 26/08/2013 09:12

Happy bank hol ladies, hope you managed a lie in.

Vicky , have you decided when you're testing yet? how many dpo will you be before your hol?

VickyVix · 23/08/2013 20:46

Hi woodwaj sorry to hear it hasn't fixed yet, but hopefully fixed smiley will arrive over the long weekend and you'll have three days to DTD to your hearts content Grin

woodwaj · 23/08/2013 17:41

Hi Vicky and onelife No fixed for me again!! But I like both of your positivity! Plus its a long weekend so no work for 3 days!!! Get some cheap tests and take them on holiday? Or hopefully it could be a nice surprise for when you come back?

VickyVix · 23/08/2013 13:50

er meant BFP!

VickyVix · 23/08/2013 13:48

Hi onelife yes, lots of DTDing last night Grin Will have another crack at it tonight too! Have joined the September bus as I actually have stats now. AF BDP due 4/5th September so we'll see, but I'll be on hols then do don't know whether to test before or after hols (if AF doesn't arrive of course). Might fancy a Wine or two on holiday.

Good luck this cycle, you never know it may happen before your anniversary trip, have my fingers crossed for you :)

onelifeonechance · 23/08/2013 10:41

Hello all, just calling in to see how everyone is doing?

Hope you managed lots of DTDeeding last night VickyVix Wink and i'm keeping my fingers crossed for you for a fixed smiley woodwaj, it'll happen Smile

Hi Daisychain44 (waving!) we are cycle buddies! I'm 7dpo so going through the 2ww (slowly).

There is always a glimmer of hope but it's weird because last month i was sure something was happening then was gutted when AF turned up...this month i really don't think anything has happened and just keep focusing on my next cycle. It'll be our first wedding anniversary during my fertile bit and we're away for that next month so hoping there will be lots of opportunity for DTD Grin (although if BFP fancies turning up before then that would be very much appreciated!)

VickyVix · 22/08/2013 19:28

Ah, well good luck for tomorrow woodwaj hope it fixes for you, keep me posted. I definitely read about someone who had the flashy for 14 days so hang in there and it will come :)

woodwaj · 22/08/2013 19:19

Thanks Vicky but no luck for me today I've got a flashing one again!! Good to know that it's still possible though!! ill keep you posted!! good luck and have fun!!

VickyVix · 22/08/2013 14:43

Thanks Keden DH isn't going to know what's hit him Grin Grin

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 22/08/2013 13:41
