My bloody temps!! One min I think they're settling then they go hay wire again. 5dpo and a drop from 36.44 to 36.28, which is making me wonder about my progesterone level. This cycle has really toyed with my emotions! Sad

broodysnoopstie · 29/01/2014 08:23

Fmu and temptation flushed away Smile treacle I quite often don't feel any ovulation symptoms but get my fixed smiley.. and then AF on time.. ovulation feels different every month for me. . .Don't give up hope on this cycle Grin

Ha ha toots, I don't think I can blame you as I was tempted!!! No I know I'm not out yet but I just don't feel pregnant so am not holding out too much hope.

11dpo!! Just got rid of my fmu...hope the rest of my poas partyers are doing the same!! (Ahem mama and broody)

Happy Birthday Kitty!!! Cake

Zermatt · 29/01/2014 00:39

Will also be cheering on from the sidelines for the poas party! I'm not due my AF until around 22 Feb, so a bit of a way to go yet for me.

What brand of OPK's do you all use? I bought forelife yesterday but then read the reviews when I got home and wish I hadn't bothered as it sounds rubbish. Took my temp for first time this morning, looking forward to getting some facts as last month made me realise I don't know my own cycle like I assumed I did.

And a happy birthday Kitty!

PetiteChouette · 28/01/2014 23:40

Hey guys. I've been watching out for the Feb bus. Not sure why I've been so rubbish to not it after almost 600 posts. Shock

Anyhow I'm on 5 DPO. Feeling very weird and different this cycle. Am having to pee all the time and have weird thick CM. Not reading anything into it.

Good luck to all.

Petitechouette TTC 1 cycle 3 BFP or AF due 6/7 Feb.

BumpNGrind · 28/01/2014 23:32

BumpNGrind, ttc 1, cycle 3 bfp due 22nd Feb

Treaclepie19 · 28/01/2014 22:34

Cycle day 11... Don't feel like I've ovulated despite solid smiley. No symptoms at all :( argh!

missmrsmummy · 28/01/2014 21:59

Happy birthday Kitty!

Barmy drink lots of water - the reflexology might have released lots of toxins. Hope it works for you! Fx

Sleepingstarsmommy · 28/01/2014 21:45

Can I jump on board?? AF kicked me off the Jan bus last Thurs. Have skimmed the last couple of pages and seen there is a POAS party coming up - way to early for me but I'll be there cheering you all on!!

Sleepingstarsmummy TTC 1 Cycle 3 (after 3 mcs and a stillborn) BFP due Feb 21st

toots123 · 28/01/2014 21:28

I know I am haha!!! Well an update on Friday will be nice.
Ive lost track of this cycle already so might poas some time next week but would rather wait if I can!! :)

Ha ha Toots you are a bad POAS influence. I did last month on dpo12 and it was a negative and felt silly when AF arrived 3 days later. If it hasn't come by Fri then I may do it then but as I said, I don't feel pregnant at all. I keep poking my boobs willing them to be painful. I had to get a bus today, read for an hour which made me felt temporarily nauseous (got temporarily excited before giving myself a mental slap) as it passed within a minute of being off the bus!!! Has anybody ever got a BFP after having no symptoms? X

I love it that I'm at the bottom of the stats list with an uncertain AF....lolWink Cross with my body right now for messing me about after 17 years of predictability....and when I actually need it.

Happy Birthday Kitty! Enjoy your drinkie poos xx

pebble82 · 28/01/2014 20:17

Temping is the only sure way to know but it's pretty useless for predicting the right time as by the time it goes up it's possibly too late to DTD.

This month we just DTD every other day (sometimes everyday) from CD11 untill CD 19. I used OPKs but never got a clear positive so glad I did temp too to put my mind at rest (OV was cd19/20) Thinking of binning them next month (if no BFP of course)- more trouble and stress causing in my opinion and I have a general gist now of when I OV (pretty late on average). Although poas does make me feel like I'm doing something to "help". Stupid I know!

Everyone is different though. What works for one might not work for another.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 28/01/2014 19:58

I chart my temp babytinks, some people know by ewcm. Other just guestimate from apps.
I do'nt get much ewcm so find temping the only sure fire way to know.
OPK's will let you now when you've had your LH surge but that doesn't guarantee ov.

babytinks89 · 28/01/2014 19:53

how is everyone knowing they have ovulated?
testing?
symptoms?
or doing the finger test? lol
my expected ovulation day is sun the 2nd... but can never go by these apps!

Jessica78 · 28/01/2014 19:51

5dpo... Symptom spotting - Is finding everyone you encounter during the day really bloody annoying a symptom of being pg? Hope so...! X

SnowBells · 28/01/2014 19:44

OK. Stupid question… did any of you ever have problems finding your cervix???

Read all the books, tried it… but seriously… can't reach it!!!

babytinks89 · 28/01/2014 19:39

sooooo jealous you guys are closer than me!
I still have to wait until the 17th for a bfp! well I hope anyway!
opk testing but all negative so far.... wish it would hurry up already....

give me strength Envy

sherbertlemon17 · 28/01/2014 19:07

broodysnoopstie · 28/01/2014 18:58
