So.... AF still not arrived.

I caved and dashed to Lloyd's pharmacy yesterday and picked up a test (the one I got my bfp with before-hoping its a luck thing) and pee'd on it late last night. Was quizzing myself if I could see a line or not so told myself to stop being silly and wasting money, shoved it in a draw etc.

Looked at it this morning and I can see a super faint line but it's definitely there. Now because it's after the stated waiting time I am unsure if it's a evaporation line or not? Has anyone experienced these? From what I've read online it says they are commonly more of a shadow line or a grey line, this is definitely a blue line - the colour of the dye but it's just thinner than what it should be.

I'm going to Tescos tonight so if AF hasn't arrived today I shall buy another and use fmu tomorrow.

Just about to start cycle #4 for dc2, can I join?

I'm not doing OPK or anything, seems a bit complicated, I've worked out that I've got a 24 day cycle (I think) so we're thinking we've been dtd a bit late in the day and will try some earlier action this time round!

DC1 was a first-cycle baby so we're a bit taken aback at not really having any control over it this time round :-) I'm obviously going a bit mental as I've spent ££ today on vitamin supplements including some for dh which won't go down well as he doesn't believe in vitamins. Oh dear!

I've banned myself from poas as it just gets too disappointing. It does sound stupid but I definitely 'felt' pregnant before I took the test with dc1. In fact I tested the day my period was due because I just 'knew'. My god I'm a loon!

Fingers crossed for all you all x

Bangonthedoor · 05/03/2014 11:40

No AF yet but I'm sure she's on her way. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me!

How are you doing miss? Any luck?

Missmc14 · 03/03/2014 20:25

Oh no I'll still keep my fingers crossed for you

Bangonthedoor · 03/03/2014 20:20

Ugh I think AF is on course for Wednesday, I'm craving chocolate and a spot has popped up on my chin!

Missmc14 · 03/03/2014 14:25

I don't know. I actually have a doctors appointment tonight so I may add an extra question in n test there but may wait I have symptoms but don't wanna believe it so no disappointment. :/

Bangonthedoor · 03/03/2014 13:44

Thanks miss!

When do you think you'll test again?

So I've been trying so hard not to symptom spot but I can't help it! Today I'm having the most awful migraine which I never have! Not got much going on cm wise which I know isn't a great sign.

Hurry up Wednesday!

Missmc14 · 03/03/2014 08:44

I'm 3 days late now.... Took a test was a negative... Hmm
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you weds!! Eeek

Bangonthedoor · 02/03/2014 21:41

So AF due Wednesday.....eek!

No symptoms, which I suppose you can only expect. The only thing I have noticed is that I haven't broken out in spots like I usually do a few days before AF arrives. I did break out when pregnant with DD but not until way after I got my bfp. Not sure this means anything though?

Hope all you ladies are doing well?

NewlymrsB · 27/02/2014 14:36

I'm still getting used to the opks, was my first month using them, I think I may have had the same issue as you. I have read that you normally ovulate 12-48 hours after your positive opk but since then I've read some women ovulated 3 days later! The pack should tell you when to start using them. I think I started on day 11, it all depends on your cycle! It's all so confusing!!

Hi newly I am going to try the opk's this month. I'm just coming on today meaning my last 2 cycles were 30 days long! Crampy and grumpy and just want to start trying again. I think the reason I didn't fall this month is because I got my ovulation day wrong I think it was a day later than I thought we dtd a lot before I ov but not on the day or after so hoping the opk's will help us dtd on the right day this month! When do you start using them? As soon as af finished?

NewlymrsB · 27/02/2014 11:47

Just received my clear blue digital ovulation test kit in post. All set for this month!

Hello again treaclepie! So it seems we're here again! Good luck!

Treaclepie19 · 26/02/2014 21:50

Hi all :) I'm starting cycle 3 also.

TTC#1 and BFP due 22nd March. Starting OPK again tomorrow :)

NewlymrsB · 26/02/2014 21:45

Yes I'm going to try to chill out this cycle...easier said than done!

OP posts:
Missmc14 · 26/02/2014 21:17

Mines 3rd so close.... I make it up in my head I have symptoms every month ha.
Think I need to join the chill pill club good luck

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 26/02/2014 19:12

Officially on second cycle. Spots of blood when I wiped earlier. A bit of a relief actually as now know either way and can chill now till I'm next fertile. I'm definitely going to try and not over think things as much next month and take a chill pill it will happen when it's meant to :)

Bangonthedoor · 26/02/2014 18:32

It's definitely nice to talk about it on here as the men never quite fully understand!

So I'm going to be positive here....when is everyone's BFP's due?? Mine is the 5th Smile

Missmc14 · 26/02/2014 16:28

I'm going insane it's all I think about. The boyfriend thinks it's unhealthy ha. He doesn't moan in the bedroom tho with my obsession Blush
Maybe I'll give them a go next month then
It's such a relief to have these forums to speak as we haven't told anyone as suprise seems more fun

NewlymrsB · 26/02/2014 16:23

Yes I wanted to try the relaxed approach but I'm finding it too difficult not to think about it all the time. I've ordered a clear blue digital ovulation test but thinking maybe I should just try a month without temping or testing etc. Hubby and I are newly weds so it's not a lack of bedroom activity! Haha tmi!

Missmc14 · 26/02/2014 16:09

Hi ladies
This is month 5 for me :/
We haven't tried the ovulation kits anybody recommend which to use I currently just count ovulation
Keep imagining I have signs but nothing
Good luck to you all

Bangonthedoor · 26/02/2014 15:56

I was very lucky and conceived in the first cycle last time but it can differ so much can't it!

As we all know too well....we'll just have to wait and see. Although I do believe relaxation plays a big part. I'm usually a poas addict but going to try my best to just relax and refrain from any premature poas!

NewlymrsB · 26/02/2014 15:46

Hi bangonthedoor!

I think it is certainly possible from what I have read.

How long did it to take you to conceive last time?
