I love it!! There is going to be a POAS Father's Day Extravaganza!!!
Oh Birdtable, the stress!! I had more EWCM last night and this morning. Have put DH on standby for tonight, because I deeply fear ov hasn't even happened yet!! I am thinking of buying some OPKS on my way home from work so I can try and work out what's going on (and of course I get to feed my POAS addiction at the same time). Maybe you should do another one this afternoon to see if there's any difference?

Birdtable · 05/06/2014 07:32

I have just done a opk again and got another fain, but darker than yesterday line Confused
Does this mean I have ovulated twice this month?

And also my post often doesn't arrive til almost 11am so I'd have a hard time holding on til then!! See, I'm going crazy already!

RedBunny · 05/06/2014 07:30

So I woke up this morning feeling really thirsty and sick. And then my husband says "ooh you're probably pregnant!!" And then I got really excited because it does feel like it, I get awful morning sickness when pregnant, my boobs are also getting a little sore and I figured I will try hold off going for a wee until the post comes because I'm expecting some cheap tests to arrive and I can do one!! Then I remembered I'm only like 8dpo so it's crazy to expect that I will be having these symptoms already...!!! I'm sure with my second pregnancy I felt this quite early though... Hmm. Probably is just a little TOO early.

CatRen27 · 04/06/2014 23:07

Will do. Look forward to hearing everyone's news next weekend. But keep the symptom checking and POAS temptations flowing.. I'm not sure I'll last otherwise!

Birdtable · 04/06/2014 22:56

Test before the run so you know to take it easy or not!

CatRen27 · 04/06/2014 22:46

Right I should have seen AF by fathers day so I'm defo in for that. Although it's also the day I'm running 10k.. that's okay right..?! Maybe I'll just go slowly... thoughts?!

blankfornames · 04/06/2014 22:29

OK, I'm game for Father's Day if the witch hasn't arrived in a cloud of smoke before that! Even though it will add a couple of extra days to this hair pulling madness we are putting ourselves through...what a present that would be to our (very patient.. and exhausted!) men! Grin

Birdtable · 04/06/2014 22:17

Can't be down and sad

Birdtable · 04/06/2014 22:16

Father's Day is a fab idea! And if it's a bfn then we can be down and sad because it will ruin their day and if it's a bfp then it will make the day even better!!
Yes, I'm hungry all the time, must be preggers!!
In Sunday it will only be a week, and it's nearly Sunday...

Birdtable is so weird we are getting the same things. It's GOT to be a symptom of something exciting surely..or just too much sex.
Someone said about testing on Fathers Day. I like that idea, maybe we should all do it then if we are not out of the game and present all the BFPs to our other halves on a tray with breakfast in bed?
Too much saliva...haven't heard of that one, but bound to be a SYMPTOM. Being hungry all the time definitely is. Can't believe still only half way through the first week. Thank God I'm going to work tomorrow.

zoobaby · 04/06/2014 22:06

Ladyflower, f) all of the above

GandTnow · 04/06/2014 22:00

Too much saliva? Symptom? Really hungry all the time? Blush!

Only 6 dpo so faaar too early to be testing, but just want to know - now!

Birdtable · 04/06/2014 21:52

Lady flower - good idea lets all find sticks fro the garden!! Grin
I have had similar feelings but I can't actually work out if I always have them as I haven't been off the pill too long! Cycle #2
I caved and poa ovulation stick to see if the ewcm was ovulation related but only a very very faint line so in not sure that means anything really!
Quite a few of us waiting to next weekend to poas then!

ladyflower23 · 04/06/2014 21:30

SYMPTOMS - For the last couple of days I have been getting fluttering feelings in the womb area. Does anyone think:

A - I got ov wrong and it's a SIGN of ovulation?
B - It's a fertilized egg moving down my fallopian tube?
C - I am pregnant with a magic baby that has got to my womb, implanted and grown big enough to start kicking in 4 days?
D - It's my cervix trying to escape from my body because it's had enough of getting it's head bashed in by DH's willie?
E - It's all in my head and now would be a good time to take up a new hobby?

ladyflower23 · 04/06/2014 21:24

I'm finding it comforting to know that I am not the only one with confusing EWCM that will not co-operate with the charts! I did toy with the idea of caving earlier, but pretty sure no-ones ever tested positive at 4dpo. Do you think if I go find a stick in the garden and pee on that it will help with the cravings?

newbie6 · 04/06/2014 21:20

Hi all,

Birdtable · 04/06/2014 20:27

Hello to all the new arrivals! I am driving myself mad with this wait! I am getting confused about ewcm etc so just trying to dtd still even though my opk said I ovulated last week! But don't want to miss any chances! Thanks Zoobaby for the diagram!
Anyone given in and poas?? Grin

ladyflower23 · 04/06/2014 18:21

Hi RedBunny and teejayem.
Well, like Redbunny said, perhaps you were gearing up to ov and then didn't and now have. When is AF due? Some women get another surge after ov just before AF...or positive OPK can mean you are preg(!) but I think that only shows after you would get a positive HPT.
I am having my own ovulation dilemma as had cramps and stretchy (though not clear) dc last Thurs so thought I was ov, but am now getting clear and slippery, but not very stretchy dc, so now wondering if I didn't, but am now!!! Also normally would have PMT by now (I get it for a week and a half before AF) but nothing, so don't know what's going on. Don't have any OPKs to pee on either. I'm defo getting them next month though, the uncertainty is doing my head in and I want a break from DTD!!

teejayem · 04/06/2014 17:28

I'm not sure, really wanted to establish a good idea of cycle, but my app, the clearblue and body seem to be all telling each other different things! I'm pretty certain something happened at the weekend, but who knows! Think I might try the OPK again tomorrow, as once you get to peak Fertility, it locks you out for two days. Other than that, I'll just keep doing lots and lots of BDing!!

RedBunny · 04/06/2014 12:37

I have never used the digital ones only the regular two line clearblue ovulation tests so not certain how they work. Do you think maybe you were going to ovulate which is why it felt like it but then didn't actually until the Monday? I've heard that can happen to some people.

teejayem · 04/06/2014 12:32

I feel like I'm cheating on the other thread I'm posting in, but I just wanted to drop in and get an opinion!
Came off Pill in March and had first 'Normal' AF May 12th. Picked up a CB digital OPK and POAS on the 29th May to test it - came back with a blank face. My Ovia App gave me from then as my fertile window, and then when I tried it again the following day, I got a Flashing face, which I thought was odd as I had (what I think) were ov pains in my left side and felt a bit 'damp' - although no ewcm to speak of. Obviously we DtD throughout, so if something happened then I'm in with a chance, but then I tried it on Monday night, and got a solid face! And I thought I'd already OV'd?! I did have a little bit of cramping on the other side this time, and again, we DtD each day, but I'm a bit confused, has anyone had a solid face after oving?!

RedBunny · 04/06/2014 12:29

Though I did agree with my husband to calm down on the pregnancy tests this time. I think I may have accidentally lied to him about that. The closer I get to AF the harder it is to resist testing.

RedBunny · 04/06/2014 12:27

I believe AF is due the 11th but my cycles go a couple of days either way, however that will be 14 days since ovulation. I totally lost my willpower and ordered some of the cheap pregnancy test strips and also a pack of two first response..... So I figure I actually will start testing as soon as these strips arrive! I hope everyone gets their BFPs! I'm so so so keen for one, I imagine how everyone else must feel that has been trying longer!!

blankfornames · 04/06/2014 11:21

I'm cracking up!! CatRen27, Like you yesterday, I woke up a stonking headache this morning. I also had an epic headrush which nearly took the feel from out under me which clearly doesn't mean anything!

So AF is due to rock into town for me on the 12th... Who is due to POAS that day.. and who is tempted to break the rules and going to POAS before D day?!!
