Yes Red I thought the pains came when the egg popped out too, which is really annoying as that was early hours of Sat and we DTD on Tues night and Sunday morning (we had a big fight the time in between and I was getting increasingly angry at him refusing to DTD on top of the original fight haha) so that makes me DPO 10. And aaaaaages to wait til I can test again.

Hmm I know really I don't have much chance but am still desperately clinging onto hope. Still having my cramping, have ruled out constipation (ha - and all these women talking about CM think THEY'RE giving tmi...) and don't seem to have developed any stomach bug etc so I'm still clutching at straws. Lots of creamy white CM, occasional bouts of very mild nausea (and by mild I mean my stomach churns a bit then is fine, usually after eating, a bit like when you're horrendously hungover) and that's it symptom wise. I fear I'm actually just going to get AF early.

How are the rest of you ladies doing today??

ladyflower23 · 01/07/2014 09:13

Yeh, I always thought I was lucky having cycles on the longer side. Now I hate it!!! Let's hope we all get our BFPs before I start getting cycle lapped!

RedBunny · 01/07/2014 08:23

I am now 7dpo. As much as I've always HATED having more periods because of my short cycle I am finally finding it helpful for ttc. I've no doubt it will annoy me again someday though.... After I've had all the children...!

RedBunny · 01/07/2014 08:21

Sarah I've always thought the pains was either just before or during the egg getting released. So.... I would guess it happened early Saturday morning? That it actually got out?? That's an awkward time to have it though!!
Newbie you for sure have a chance this month anyway. But if your husband feels like he can, one more can't hurt huh?
Yay Ladyflower!! You'll be back in the two week wait soon as well!

ladyflower23 · 01/07/2014 08:06

newbie I think you have done enough. But saying that, if it were me i would probably drug him one more time for peace of mind!
Excited! Had some lady-fluid that looked like it was on its way to becoming egg whites last night and a flashing smiley this morning. The egg is getting ready to leave the frying pan Grin. DH is on red alert for hot mama descending this evening he he!!

Sarahg1 · 01/07/2014 01:25

newbie; if you're able to drug the hubbie I'd say knee more can't hurt but if yours is as obstinate as mine and refuses to do anything he's told then I'm sure you've done enough !!!

Sarahg1 · 01/07/2014 01:24

Yes red seems we are as impatient as each other! I had ov pains at midnight last fri night/sat morning so do I count sat as day 1 post ov or is sun day 1? either way I'm TOO EARLY TO TEST!!! Day 10 or 11.

fingers crosses that your pinchiness was implantation, hope this is a lucky month for us all because I for one am fed up of waiting! !!!

newbie6 · 30/06/2014 22:58

So have had solid smiley face today and yest and thankfully managed to DTD both days, do I need to DTD tomorrow as well just to be safe?? Am going to have to seriously drug hubby!! X

ladyflower23 · 30/06/2014 18:08

Yeh, I used the dual hormonerator cycle before last, but it was a random purchase on the day I was coincidentally LH surging, so it went straight to peak when I did it, so don't know if I would have got flashers if I started it earlier. I hate ovulating late, drives me round the bend waiting. Enjoying peeing on all the OPKs though.

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 17:36

Sarah how many dpo are you? And I'm not judging you. In fact I'm pleased that you couldn't wait cuz I never can!!

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 17:36

My tummy feels super pinchy and uncomfortable today. I'm 6dpo.... Implantation???? I really really hope so. Also hope it sticks!!

Sarahg1 · 30/06/2014 14:56

red I may have entirely broken my promise and POAS. I was having some serious symptoms and even OH is convinced I'm preggers but it's just too early and surprise surprise BFN. However, I did pee on an OPK this morning and got a line which I don't usually get the rest of the month and I did already ov last saturday so trying not to get my hopes up that it means something.. not sure why I did it really, I read somewhere that some women see positive OPKs first but really it's just torturing myself.

newbie I'm due on the 12th too I just ov'd really early. let me know how you get on!!

FX everyone!

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 12:05

Gosh I feel so tired. Last night I went to sleep at like 9 and my husband was saying "it's so early. How are you tired" and today I still feel exhausted. I said I wouldn't symptom spot this month but I can't help thinking how tired I felt before getting BFPs in the past. However I'm only 6dpo. So.... I'm probably just getting ill! It's always the second half of the two week wait which drives me crazy!!

newbie6 · 30/06/2014 09:42

Thanks ladies, yes shall drug hubbie today also and see if we can maximise our chances! This will be cycle 3 for us so after being disappointed the last 2 times, think I'm going to try and hold off testing till just a day before AF is due so 11th July maybe????

Hope u see smiling faces soon ladies waiting for the 'surge' !

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 09:23

Hormonerater.... I like.
I'm sure I've read somewhere before that some people only get one day of flashing smiley? Im not sure. Do you usually have more? Or is this your first month of the dual ones? I can't remember who's done what!!

ladyflower23 · 30/06/2014 08:23

Hi Newbie, a solid smiley means you are surging, so don't worry you've caught it! Like Redbunny said, ovulation happens within 36 hours of the surge, so you will be alright...but try and get some painkillers down hubby again today if you can he he!
Blank face on my dual hormonerator this morning Sad I am on CD16 today and was expecting to surge on CD18 so was hoping for a flashing smiley this morning. Oh dear, I hope I get my solid smiley/dark line or I will go to a new level of neuroticism!

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 07:00

Yes thinking on it I get my LH surge in the early afternoon and the next day I ovulate. After the LH surge is detected you are meant to ovulate within 36 hours. So if your husband can manage it again tomorrow/ the next day incase that'd be good!! But the spermies can live up there for a few days so if he's too pained don't worry. You've still got a chance this month!! When are you testing?!

RedBunny · 30/06/2014 06:54

I don't know, I only know that I used to not get these positive opks at all and then I read that some people only get a short LH surge. So if you've seen yours this morning yours is possibly longer than mine or starts at a different time? You get the LH surge right before you ovulate I think. So you should be all good!!! And woohoo to your husband! Impressed. Grin

newbie6 · 29/06/2014 21:37

Hi

Only testing in the morning? Got my solid smiley face today and wonderful hubby managed to perform so fingers crossed! I didn't know to test later? I've had the flashing smileys last 4 days tho, does that mean I've missed it??? X

RedBunny · 29/06/2014 17:53

It's funny to be called a guru. I think I'm just a nerd! But thank you Smile

RedBunny · 29/06/2014 17:35

Oh so yes it was my first flashy day that I got ewcm.

RedBunny · 29/06/2014 17:34

I saw ewcm on the Saturday and Tuesday was ovulation day. To be honest after that first day it was quite runny but I think that's because I tried the cough medicine trick this month.

ladyflower23 · 29/06/2014 17:18

Yeh pinpan the rocky patches are somewhat offputting!!
Redbunny when do you get Ewcm in relation to your smiley faces? When they're flashy or on solid day? I have elected you as the cbopkdh guru Smile

RedBunny · 29/06/2014 16:02

I just ordered some tests from superdrug ready for end of the week. They still had the buy one get one half price offer on, so two packs of two tests was only I think £7.18. I had to get it up to £10 for free delivery or pay £3 delivery so I thought I may as well order the single packs on offer too... Six 10miu pregnancy tests for £12.57!! So I shall have plenty incase I need some for next month too!

RedBunny · 29/06/2014 15:32

Pinpan my daughter never really sleeps. She's always been an awful sleeper. I don't know how she keeps going! You know I worry too that I might not be conceiving because I'm too tired. But then I think about when she was conceived my lifestyle was v crazy. And it still happened! So I don't know...!!
Ladyflower you do get a blank circle to start with.
