If at first you don't conceive...shag, shag and shag again. BFP due in April.

No we didn't, meant to start that on cd8 but it was morning on cd9 the first time. Were still going to do EOD tho and we did but only 3 times!. Didn't think I'd ov that early as it was as late as cd18 2 cycles ago and coz last month was short I was expecting this one to be long!

RPopz · 11/04/2014 12:35

Did you do smep Vic? Good luck! X

victoria401 · 11/04/2014 11:55

Well guys that's it, I'm in the 2ww.

Dtd cd9, 11 and 13 only. Pos opk cd11. Only cd14 today but expecting another 26 day cycle like last month as ovd cd12 then too. So I guess bfp/af in order of preference as getting seriously impatient and fed up now April 23-24ish.

wiltingfast · 11/04/2014 09:26

Oh, fingers crossed for you all, good luck. I should be ovulating around now but not feeling it and opks negative so far :(

toothachereturns · 11/04/2014 08:04

I'm not confident either. The disappointment this morning almost made me cry. I'll try again on Sunday. Good luck to you. x

Tranquilitybaby · 11/04/2014 08:00

Bfn for me too this morning with an internet cheapie test. 12dpo so may still too early but not confident really.

toothachereturns · 11/04/2014 07:33

bfn the morning. fleeting moment of excitement when a faint line appeared immediately. ..... only to disappear when I checked after a couple of minutes. Sad That'll teach me for sitting watching it!!!!!

toothachereturns · 10/04/2014 20:46

Next month will be it! Smile
I'm going to poas tomorrow morning. That will be 10dpo and 6 days before af due. But I'm getting tell tale signs of impending af. Sad

Better to do in the morning as your urine will be most concentrated.

Think there's a glossary for the mumsnet abbreviations somewhere! You just pick them up as you go along though!

sooperdooper · 09/04/2014 21:51

I'll leave it a couple of days and try again, is it really best to test in the morning? I did it when I got home this evening, god I'm such an amateur, I don't know what I'm doing!! I don't even know what all the abbreviations everyone's using mean?? Grin

RPopz · 09/04/2014 21:47

Fx sooper and drew! X

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 20:05

Aw sooper. Might still be pg?

sooperdooper · 09/04/2014 19:31

I'm 4 days late, but just did a test and negative..... Grr been really regular lately too, hmmmm

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 19:28

I'm going to test on Friday I think. With dd I got a positive at 11dpo.

Maybe having no mid cycle bleed is a sign! I suppose any change in cycle could be good news. Smile

When are you testing? I haven't had any of my usual mid cycle bleeds. Blush So not sure whether that's good or bad.

Drewswife - you and I are almost in sync! Grin

DrewsWife · 09/04/2014 18:32

Ok so I am not testing as I don't think this is the month for me.... But if I should start symptom spotting... I am 10 days post ovulation and due AF in a week is that right???

wiltingfast · 09/04/2014 18:00

congrats pickles! great to see a bfp Grin

just realised i'm cd11 and have totally forgotten to do my new opk, it's not too late is it? never used it before... how do you count the cds again, cd 1 is first day of af yes? hmmm... confused!

Work sounds crap Drew, at least you have a break to look forward to?

Am with RPoz on trying not to torture yourselfs toothachereturns but we all know it's hard Grin

RPopz · 09/04/2014 17:20

Too early!! Think 10dpo is the earliest, so don't torture yourself!

Omg I'm only cd8 and already worrying about tww....

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 15:53

My cycles are pretty much 28/29 days.

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 15:53

I'm on cd 21 (or 22 depending on which app I look at!). More importantly I'm 9 dpo. I have no symptoms of pregnancy. But it's too early right? Confused

toothachereturns · 09/04/2014 15:47

Congrats Pickles! !! Grin

Aw thats pants Biscuits.... May will be the month! Smile

Drew - yeah just keep your head down, no favours and keep looking for something better. Smile

cowbiscuits · 09/04/2014 11:32

Congrats pickles!

I'm out for April. Took test this morning (day 34) negative of course, then AF decided to arrive several hours later. Waste of a test again! Oh well.

I am quietly looking for something else. Refusing to do extra hours. Screw that. I'm going on a craft weekend on Friday down to Rochdale. And only 4 weeks til Malta. I just need to get through.
