That's an odd thing to say Vic....I would be having a word with him! OPK didn't have a smiley face this morning.....try again tomorrow!

RPopz · 01/04/2014 10:38

Wow Vic. Not sure what I'd make of that either! They can be so bloody insensitive can't they. Me and Mr Rpopz had pretty serious words a couple if weeks ago about the fact it was me doing everything and him just "going along with it" He's kind of making the right noises at the moment but... not sure how long it'll last!

victoria401 · 01/04/2014 10:25

Cd4 and stopped bleeding already, bonus! Few more days of peace for DH before the dtd begins! Told him the plan and he was just like "do whatever you like" and he'll go along but... "its your obsession not mine". Not sure what to make of that.

MelMc73 · 01/04/2014 06:16

Morning all...cowbiscuits I'm in same boat regarding the pill (December)...strange cycles too. My clear blue opk arrived yesterday and it says to start testing today which is cd7 so I'm off to poas!

Hello :)

I'm ttc #1, cycle 4 and on cd14, have had positive opk for 3 days in a row, initially started out this month doing smep, but the 3 positives have thrown me off! Good luck all.

Welcome along. Grin

Am just hitting count day 13. Had ovulation marker for two days so only managed to dtd 2 times due to shifts and hubby being unwell. No hope for us this month. Hmm Ah well. Always may lol

Hi, can I join? Just got af :( so am just starting cycle 4 of TTC #3.

Had a lot of mid cycle pain, was afraid I'd produce twins (eeek!) But now worried I didn't ovulate at all not over analysing at all

cowbiscuits · 31/03/2014 21:12

Hello ladies can I join you?

In my two week wait here. month 3 ttc #2, my little boy is 18 months.
On cd 24 today. Not sure when AF is due because my periods are not back to normal yet (stopped pill in November) have had a 33 day then a 24 day cycle. So if it's a short cycle AF could turn up any day now.

I'm very impatient. Wish I could just not think about it, setting myself up for disappointment. Determined not to POS before cd30 (sunday).

Good luck everyone.

toothachereturns · 31/03/2014 19:48

Positive opk today on cd12. Grin

myothernameiswashingherhair · 31/03/2014 17:01

RPopz · 31/03/2014 15:53

Hello, just marking my place here TTC #1 with husband (we've one DS each separately, mine wasn't planned so this is all quite new!), CD6 of 2nd cycle TTC after coming off pill. Waiting for clearblue digital OPKs to arrive to assist! Fx to everyone this month!!

NewlymrsB · 31/03/2014 12:03

Sorry to hear that Drew! Fingers crossed some if his guys have stuck around!

I'm starting to think maybe I didn't ovulate this cycle...only cycle I haven't used Opks, typical hey!

I hope you get a bfp xx.

Hubby is now really unwell. Today is my last day of ovulation. We managed 2x this month grrrr. Thursday and Sunday. Am I still fertile afterwards? I reckon this month is a no go for me. Arghhhhh. He is working tonight into tomorrow. Then off until Wednesday afternoon.

I hate our shifts.

OP posts:
NewlymrsB · 31/03/2014 09:17

Cycles normally 30-34 days. Today is day 35 tested today BFN. Had slight pink tinge on sat eve when I wiped after dtd (sorry tmi) since then nothing!!

Driving me crazy, is there hope for a BFP soon??!

RPopz · 30/03/2014 20:09

Haha, not sure I learned anything remotely relevant to anything in bms school ;-) x

victoria401 · 30/03/2014 18:57

It only occured to me today! I'm a scientist, I should know this stuff! Did they teach this in BMS school?

RPopz · 30/03/2014 18:17

Well I'm no expert! That's just how I'd interpret it x

victoria401 · 30/03/2014 18:12

In that case I've written down all my other cycles wrong! Bummer!

RPopz · 30/03/2014 17:55

I've read that in a book too Vic, if you're using opks and temping and all the rest of it and don't conceive in 3-6 months you should go to gp.... can't imagine how they'dreact to it though!

Is smep from a book or something? Only ever heard of it on here.

If af day is day one then you had a 26 day cycle surely!

I'm ovulating early. Today is day 11. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing. I have noticed a lot of creamy discharge. Is that good or bad?? I don't normally get a lot of that.

toothachereturns · 30/03/2014 16:28

Thanks Victoria! Ive been doing that technique without even realising it had its own acronym. Smile

We dtd cd7, 9, 10 and will pounce again tonight on cd11.
I think I normally ovulate around day 13/14, but not sure of cycles since my mirena was removed so here goes!

DrewsWife · 30/03/2014 16:19

Ovulation detected today by my monitor. Have only managed to dtd once due to shifts clashing. Arghhhh. Feeling like it's never going to happen. Hubby is in tonight and tomorrow until 4. So really going to have to get him that berocca to keep his energy up!! Lol.

Oh yeah was reading the leaflet in my opk packet. Says if you do not get preg after 3 or 4 months using this product consult your doctor. They'd just tell you to Bugger off and come back after a year or 2. Silly leaflet....
