I'm not sure! I think I probably have. I've currently got the fear though - DD is currently allowing me less than five hours sleep (usually not in one go either) and I'm all "oh noes I am never going to sleep again if I have another one." Meanwhile my app is helpfully telling me that I need to get my beauty sleep if I want to conceive. Confused So half of me is thinking we should stop trying for a bit, and the other half is thinking it might be too late! Oh well, time will tell...

Sunday afternoon greetings all!
So, am now CD 15 and have decided to use my cheapies in the afternoon and my CB Dual Hormone fancy stick in the morning so I don't miss my surge (I have 5 sticks left from when I used it cycle before last). I used it this morning and got a blank circle. Will it do that the first time no matter what because it's measuring my base estrogen? I was kind of expecting/hoping for a flashing smiley.
pinpan do you reckon you've ov'd yet or are you still in the run up?

RedBunny · 29/06/2014 10:10

Sarah I ovulated on Tuesday and plan on testing on Sunday. You're going to be tough though and hold out til AF is due? I can't do it. I need to know if I'm expecting it to turn up or not!!!

RedBunny · 29/06/2014 10:07

Newbie I used the dual hormone opks and got the flashing smiley Saturday and Sunday and Monday morning and then solid smiley on Monday lunchtime. Are you testing later in the day now you've got your flashing so that you don't miss your LH surge? Or does yours last a little while? When I used the regular two line opks I used to only get my positive for one afternoon.

winnie1981 · 28/06/2014 22:00

Well im now on cd36 but this is the first cycle since coming off pill. I did poas last Saturday and got a bfn (which I was expecting) still no af but hopefully will turn up asapsowe can get on with ttc

Sarahg1 · 28/06/2014 20:56

Ooh not been on here for a few days and I'm so behind!

red I ovulated in the early hours of last sat, I always ov really early in the cycle. AF due around 10th so I think you'll be testing first.

Was utterly convinced I'm out this month but have been getting weird cramps today. Probably clutching at straws but a girl can dream.

How's everyone else doing?

newbie6 · 28/06/2014 20:19

Hi red bunny, I've no idea as I've been using the dual hormone CB sticks and been getting flashing smiles last 3 days but on normal digi sticks I'm getting an empty circle so given hubbie has sore back post operation I've decided to wait till I get my solid smiley face which means peak fertility but I'm now worried something is wrong, is it normal for u to get 3 days of flashing smiley faces?? Can't remember who else is using the dual hormone ones but if anyone is and has experience help! Also. My doc is taking a blood test for progesterone to make sure I am ovulating to give me peace of mind so that has helped make me feel a bit better.... Good luck everyone! Xxx

RedBunny · 28/06/2014 17:21

Hey all! Hope everyone's ok. I've been camping so that's why I have not posted. It's been good because it was distracting from the two week wait. I am now only 4dpo but as I've said previously I've always gotten BFPs at 12dpo so by that will be able to test next Sunday. Although I may start testing at 10dpo just because I want to go the doctor as soon as possible to ask for my progesterone tested. So... I feel like I have a good excuse for being a POAS addict this time!! Newbie when is ovulation day?

newbie6 · 27/06/2014 22:06

Hi all

Still here! Have flashing smiley faces for past 3 days but hubbie not up to DTD so waiting for my peak fertility day and will hopefully have my wicked way, mwah ha! Good luck to everyone else! Xx

pinpan · 27/06/2014 19:31

Job's a good 'un, ladyflower. Wink Let us know when you get a smiley face!

47 days Katybear, wow. Fingers crossed AF turns up in time to make the holiday fun-times...

Katybear123 · 27/06/2014 18:58

I haven't since day 40 actually just realised its day 47 not sure it's worth it in truth grrrr. Was going to wait another wk then try. We r on hols for 2 wks after that an I would live to think we might conceive then but if no af I'm doubting I'm ovulating....

ladyflower23 · 27/06/2014 18:42

Sorry Katybear, how frustrating for you! Are you still testing or given up?

Katybear123 · 27/06/2014 18:39

Hey ladies hope ur all well day 46 her and still mo af signs!

ladyflower23 · 27/06/2014 18:14

Have you managed to get on him yet Pinpan? I've started on my OPK's now. No positive yet, but then I did start them 2 days before the packet said I should. Once an addict, always an addict.
Redbunny & Newbie, are you still around? How are you getting on?
Any updates 1moretime?

pinpan · 27/06/2014 09:49

Gah! It's DTD time again according to my apps, but we moved to a new house today and DD is too hyped up and won't go to bed!

1moretime · 26/06/2014 06:24

Thanks for your reply TerrysNo2
Yeah i dont have much to go by really.
I feel strange..iv had a strange taste in my mouth since 6dpo & its still there & although af has been and gone my boobs have started to hurt again & i have period cramps. I thought i was just imagining it but the cramps were bad last night.
Thanks for your help hun. Xx

TerrysNo2 · 25/06/2014 22:26

1moretime I don't think you can use your temps for an accurate analysis as you didn't chart for the whole of last month, I know your temps haven't dropped below the cover line but you can't know what your accurate cover line is without quite a few of them. My AF is only 3 days too and I would say that as you had proper bleeding and a temp dip then that was probably AF. Are you taking your temps properly? In bed, at the same time every day and before you've done anything? that will make sure your chart is accurate. I hope you get a BFP this next cycle but even if you don't your charts will help towards it as you will understand your body more and more and know when to DTD Wink

Good luck!! and to everyone else.

Hey TerryNo2 haha...yeh no probz will try & share link.

Thanks everyone. I did a test yesterday afternoon bfn although when i went up to put it in the bin (had left it on window sill) there was a very very faint line Confused
Evap line i dont know.

This was my first cycle of temping as i have pcos & have no luck with opks!
I only started midway too so havent got a full picture of my cycle yet.
So going by my last cycle i would be 23dpo so you would think a bfp would be clear by now. I had af/bleeding at 16dpo which lasted 3 days.

If this is my new cycle i am on cd6/7 ...cant remember now. X

TerrysNo2 · 25/06/2014 17:04

1moretime I charted with DD and I love a chart nosy/interpretation, can you share your link so I can have a look?

ladyflower23 · 25/06/2014 07:58

REally glad you are getting to have an early scan blanks so don't have to wait the whole 12 weeks to check that all is well. Hopefully then you can relax and get to really enjoy it once had that Smile So much waiting involved in making/having babies!
Sorry 1moretime I don't chart either (although like you Redbunny am considering it for next time, but worried about taking the obsession to another level!). I would also suggest retesting though if your chart is above coverline and your period was different to usual, as could have been a breakthrough bleed.
Katybear I agree, wait till you get back from holiday. I think it will be long enough then for doctor to hear you out. Have heard that there is some kind of medication they can give you to trigger a period and get your cycles going again, but not sure how long it has to be without before they give you that.

pinpan · 24/06/2014 23:36

I don't chart either, but POAnotherS 1moretime - that's the best way to check, plus it's exciting for us all! Smile

RedBunny · 24/06/2014 23:00

Sorry 1moretime, I've never temped. If I don't get pregnant this month I'm actually torn between stepping the obsession up a little and starting temping, or just not properly trying at all. Which is interesting because they are complete opposites. Anyways.... I don't know what to suggest. I mean having three days of light medium flow does sound like a period, I used to have periods like that when I had a 24 day cycle. I'd have three days of it actually being very light and then three weeks between. Are you meaning take a pregnancy test? As some women do get bleeding at period times during pregnancy? I would say if you have any doubt at all do a cheap test because that would work by now right? And if it's negative assume that was your AF and feel pleased that it isn't too horrible!!

Katybear123 · 24/06/2014 22:27

Thanks redbunny I think I will wait till we come bk from hol so about a month is still Ono af that will be 10 -11wks so I think will book doc app for then, that way I'm sure af will turn up ! Great news for u re ovulation I wish u all the luck in the world.

newbie6 · 24/06/2014 21:25

Sorry 1moretime, I don't chart so can't offer any advice hopefully someone else can x

winnie1981 · 24/06/2014 21:01

1moretime, have you done a test at all?? I've no idea about charts etc
