Aargh so don't know why but I guess because I'm on the edge here 3 d early I took another cb test on a very practically seen through nonfmu sample and there is a thin not even half a vertical line where you'd get a plus if preg. Aargh I've had those before when testing early and then a stronger one on following day . Now I'm really going to go mental not knowing . It's definitely blue and where the line should appear not a smudge or anything but not a full line . shouldn't have tested again to be honest . I've gotten so many positives in the past that have failed that this makes me very anxious and hopefully but not exited and happy like when I got my first ever BFP and went on to have DS .
I guess I'll have to just make it to the next morning and so on to test again with something more potent ...

Spotti... that pic has made my day!! Very imaginative!

I started using epo about 5 days ago and I think its already mad a difference. I suppose everyone is different.

Regarding the opk question Hazel, I'd guess that it was probably 21st. Most people ovulate 12-36 hours after a positive. The fact you still had a positive on 20th would make me think 21st is most likely. Btw - sounds like your in heaven!!

Just popping in to say congrats Emily. Wishing the rest of you all the luck for the last few days of March, I'm sure this bus still has a few bfps in it. Pom poms are waving you all on from here.

Kate, hope AF stays away and you can't go boozing at the weekend Grin

And Hazel wherever you are sounds amazing - I want to be there too!

katecupoftea · 26/03/2014 12:11

Where are you Hazel? Abroad?

No idea about the ovulation question I'm afraid! I barely know if I even ovulated at all so I'm not the person for advice.

AF not appeared yet but I'm already making my plans for heavy drinking at the weekend!

Still here. No symptoms to report yet but usually get cramps around 7dpo so expecting them to arrive soon.

Not feeling like this will be our month.

I'm confused over when I ovulated. Positive OPK on 20th and 21st so did I ovulate on 20th,21st or 22nd?!

Trying not to think too much about it all at the moment. Currently sat outside on my room balcony, in the warm sunshine, drinking tea and watching surfers play in the waves. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday! Going to wander up the beach for lunch soon. I need to move here, I've never been so relaxed!

Do you think he has to keep his balls permenantly shaved?

Thanks surrey, I think I'm going to lay off to epo then as ewcm has definitely decreased this month.

lindamagoo · 26/03/2014 10:51

Oh Spotti that had to hurt, lol

Spotti · 26/03/2014 10:48

Here's an extra penis dragon addition to bring you ladies some luck...

(only just noticed the piercing in the end of his willy...gives a new meaning to the mention of the 'eye' LOL. Also - I wonder which hurt most - the tattoo or the piercing? Hmm...)

SurreyBunny · 26/03/2014 10:46

Hey MrsE Sorry I missed your question re EPO. Basically no I don't rate it. I cramped a lot before O and I didn't notice any significant increase in EWCM plus I am sure it delayed my ovulation by 4 days! I use preseed anyway so I'm not sure taking anything to increase CM is worth it if it might have a negative effect.

But then that may be me - I also found green tea completely dried me up!

NewlymrsB · 26/03/2014 09:25

Haha love it Englishgirl lol

EnglishGirlAbroad · 26/03/2014 09:23

NO!! He's in fecking Belgium! Managed a quicky yesterday before he went. He's back tomorrow, so I'll pounce!!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/03/2014 09:20

Oh English that's so confusing for you! Is dh handy for a quickie just in case? Wink

EnglishGirlAbroad · 26/03/2014 09:15

I'm still loitering too..... cd36 and fuck my life, there's some ewcm going on!! WHAT THE FUCK!! Basically I think this confirms an anov as I read this morning that you would generally ovulate at the same point and any bleeding isn't af, just oestrogen breakthrough. So given last cycle was 27 days.... based on that, I would now be on cd 8 if this was a new cycle and ewcm is therefore possible! Make sense? No....? I know!
But this is where i got it from

broodysnoopstie · 26/03/2014 09:13

Thank you! newly

NewlymrsB · 26/03/2014 09:11

That is odd then! Good luck with the bloods!! Fingers are crossed for u

broodysnoopstie · 26/03/2014 09:11

I'm not holding off getting bloods btw I'm waiting to be able to get an appt to get them done!

broodysnoopstie · 26/03/2014 09:10

eeek Mrs E love that story

broodysnoopstie · 26/03/2014 09:09

Haha stupid bloody phone. Sorry ladies Blush if only I could resist mn on commute to work I wouldn't have this problem! I'm still waiting to get bloods done and desperately hoping they'll say positive when all pee sticks say negative! Normally regular cycles are 32 33 or 34 days. I'm on cd 50 today!

PolytheneGirl · 26/03/2014 09:04

I'm hopping on just to wave my pom-poms for you last few ladies. Hoping to see plenty of BFPs to finish off March!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/03/2014 09:03

Broody is that your phone again??? Grin Lol have you had your bloods done now? I did honestly have a pg like this a long time ago. The test took so long to come up positive, the plus side was I was nearly ending my first trimester and at the scan when I did finally get a positive. I think it happens more often than we realise.

NewlymrsB · 26/03/2014 09:00

Oh broody that must be horrible! Do you normally have reg cycles?

katecupoftea · 26/03/2014 08:59

That is really annoying for you though, hope you get an answer soon

katecupoftea · 26/03/2014 08:59

Wow broody, seems you REALLY can't believe it!
