Looking for a TTC buddy!

I ended up testing again yesterday and this morning, and got + OPK, which is good as it means that my cycle is still normal.

But I spent too much time on here yesterday so am now worried that there isn't enough time between ovulation and AF. Is 10 days enough? Assuming ov happens at about the same time as OPK, which I doubt.

can't we were the same, last year we decided this is what we both wanted but had 5 weddings, 2 stags and 2 hens this year so decided to wait til after the last wedding til i came off bc. Now wishing i stopped earlier!

We watched that a couple of nights ago! Really enjoyed it! I'd love to go to Vegas, and New York.

Well I've got a couple of days until predicted ovulation but I've had no signs of anything happening. Stupid tesco and their faulty SI lol! I'll be excited when I get some ewcm, what has my life become haha!

Boyle I dream up symptoms all the time, I swear I can make myself have ovulation pain just by thinking about it!

Thanks ladies, I recovered from it quite well & quickly actually. Weirdly, I got right into work and resolved an account that I haven't been able to get my head around for months. And me & OH have dtd knowing there was no reason other than cos we wanted to and because we fancy each other! What a strange lovely feeling

I absolutely agree with your theory boo It's similar to the think yourself thin diet!! And I know what you mean about crazy lady. For me, we've only been trying since September but I've been trying to have a coil out since April. I was ready to start trying November last year but didn't because of a holiday so it feels far longer than it has been for me. Wish I had started the ball rolling back then! I'll see you in the asylum.

Also agree with shit sex ed! Infertility is still so taboo... Sucks. I can't get +ve on OPK either. I'll try temping again in the new year.

boyle I had a colleague in my office with me this morning, praying for him to piss off so I could rip the cellophane off the box, the packet out & the test up my sleeve!! I was busting too. I never do anything the easy way

I watched last Vegas instead of love actually.. OH didn't fancy it. Plus, I thought it might give me ideas if worst comes to worst and I never have any more kids, when DD is grown & flown, I'll just hit Vegas hard & blow all my money on champagne & black 21!

boo i dreamt up cramps yesterday and was absolutely convinced I was pregnant and then today was busy at work and forgot about any so called symptoms so defo dreamt up the cramps.

Sorry to hear about BFN can't hope 2015 is your lucky year. Was giggling on my break at your impatience to test though.

Taken myself to superdrug for some early response tests today and hoping to test Sunday (3 days before af). Bought four tests... One for each day haha!!

manderley I know... He was creepy and annoyed me from day one!

Sorry! late to the party!

can't Sorry to hear about your bfn, here's to 2015.

Did watch the apprentice, quite predictable but great nonetheless. That salesman who got kicked off gave me the creeps though. Just something about him...

Hi ladies, no I've yet to get a + on anything an OPK. It's so bloody frustrating, they never told us it was this difficult doing sex ed in school lol!

Does anyone think that hoping you're pregnant so much can actually bring on symptoms? I coulda swore i was pg last month with all the symptoms i was making up having! I'm only into my 5th cycle after stopping bc and i'm already a crazy lady! I dont know how many more months i can go on like this! Doing well to keep my desperation hidden from the OH cos hes all cool and calm...i'm pretty sure he'd be packing his bags or at least checking me into the asylum if he knew what goes on in my head during the 2ww haha

Hahaha, that made me laugh out loud! The thought of me saying to my boss 'Yeah, I'm not coming in today, i'll be taking a month of with my ovaries!'

Ofcourse, you have no known issues or factors that may go against you do you?

I'm also a bit similar, had DD1 at a young age and I swore no more - I didn't want anymore. I lasted 9 years until my met my OH and everything changed. I would have another 3 now if I could... My lifestyle and what I want from life has made a compete U-turn... Funny isn't it.

Waah, damned fool system! How can it just take a month off?? I can't do that, I fail to see why my ovaries should be allowed!

So annoying!

Will just have to keep trying, as you say. It's such early days, I shouldn't be worried. But it's difficult not to think the worst and get stressed about it.

I still can't believe I get so excited about temps and POAS. I never thought I would want kids so it's all a bit alien to me!

That's alright, I am just going to tell myself that it was down to the fever this month that perhaps that affected my chances of conception.

Apparently your body can miss ovulation once/twice a year so you may not have ovulated this month. Pain in the arse, but keep dtd just in case ov is late and you can start again next month.

Haha, ECWM has become part of my daily life - I used to be grossed out but it's an exciting thing now as I know my body is at least gearing up! What have I become???

Hi Can't! Thanks for responding so quickly - I was hitting 'refresh' every 5 mins hoping someone was on here!

Sorry you've not had good news - I know it's really hard. I convinced myself a couple of months ago that I was late and all was on track (timing would have been perfect) but then tests were neg and realised I'd just tracked my cycle wrong. Devastated.

OPK has come up positive on day 17/18/19 for the past 2 months (although 3 months ago it was day 14), so having no + yesterday or today was a bit of a shock. Temp shows a vague sort of pattern but mostly just up and down throughout the cycle. And CM (which I can't believe I am writing about as I find it so nasty - hate egg whites) would normally indicate ovulation but nowt this month.

Does your body ever just take a month off??

Curiosity got the better of me.. BFN! No big shock but still a bit heart sinking. I'm going to count myself out of the game for this month now and patiently wait for AF. No idea when this will be as cycles usually 90 days plus, last cycle was only 56 days thanks to acupuncture. I do have really achy boobs which I experienced for the first time last month after acupuncture and right up to day 1 of period (6 days - I have had them for 4 days now), so I am hoping that she is well on her way. To be honest, if I were to have had a regular-ish cycle this month, I would be grateful for that.... that must mean that I am moving in the right direction at least....?

Hey Rosey Did you get positive ovulation in the previous 2 months? And if so, what confirmed it for you? Temping or OPK? I'm not much help as I cannot get a positive OPK EVER and as soon as I started temping I became ill with fever, so I am hoping that I can try again when AF shows up!

New to MN and TTC for about 3 months now. Cycle seems to be regular but then I was expecting a positive ovulation test yesterday and today and both were negative. No idea what is happening now, and temp chart is all over the place w/ no real pattern. Any advice gratefully received.

I will also be watching love actually tonight!

I'm not an apprentice watcher, I don't really watch tv all that much one born every minute if anything

Well I have a dilemma. DD woke me up at 4.45am with nightmares, tucked her back into bed and flushed all of my FMU down the loo without thinking!! So, the only tests I have in the house are cheapy 99p ones anyway, so I thought, no probs, I'll pop to Asda to get a frer. Rushing and embarrassingly stumbling around the pregnancy tests, grabbed them and into work I came. On looking at them properly they are 'first response' but not early response...

If I'm honest, I know I'm not pregnant anyway, so do I just go pee on one now and get the BFN out of the way... orrrrrrrrr do I hold out hope and wait for FMU tomorrow??? I've already tested a few days ago and there was not even a remote shadow of a second line so it won't come as too much of a shock...

Haha...can't I'm sure he will You must have nerves of steel hanging off testing this long! I've just had a wee talk with myself, went like this.."absolutely no testing whatsoever until you're late...ok?" So it will be one hell of a long wait....IF I stick to my guns lol.

Oh the interviews on The Apprentice...brilliant tv! Love it!

cant have you tested yet this morning??

Ahh love actually, going to have to watch it now!!!

lastnight did you see apprentice... Cringe!!!!

Yup...I'm a sucker for love actually
might even have considered a character's name for any future dd. It amuses my highbrow cultured colleagues no end. Which reminds me...cant stand the apprentice but its interview night tonight. Must see viewing!

That's fair enough boyle I think your mum is an acceptable person to tell! I'm going to feel sick, think I'll be an emotional wreck either way. Oh yeah I'm full of symptoms that have no relation to pregnancy at all I don't think.... Achy boobs, shattered, smelling onions all morning(?!) no back ache that I usually get if AF is approaching! yeah I know I sound crazy!

Do you usually get a +ve OPK mrslowe I can't get one at all

I echo manderley an alien?! And chuckling at love actually - I love that film.

I am now 100% ready now. Doing the goodie shop tomorrow, wonder whether any alcohol goodies will make the trolley..,, tomorrow will tell!!

Hi all...no news here other than CD3! Good things come to those who wait and all that.

Mrs an alien? Is this an upgrade from the love actually lobster and octopus nativity?

Hi ladies,
Nothing much going on here. I'm CD13 so just waiting to ovulate now I guess. First OPK of this cycle was negative this morning but I am a bit early. My youngest was an alien (?!) in his nativity yesterday and I did some wrapping, is everyone else sorted for xmas?

Can't my mum would be over the moon I just worry that getting bfp on Tuesday and telling her Thursday on Xmas day would be too soon but I'm sure I'll be so excited I won't be able to keep it to myself!!!

Let me know how you get on tomorrow am! I wouldn't be able to sleep today if it were me. I know tell me about it, I've finished work early today because I'm so exhausted I couldn't have stayed any longer! You had any other symptoms?!

Would there be a problem telling Mum Boyle? Do you think she wouldn't be happy?

Hormones are a bitch aren't they. I'm convincing myself that I am pregnant. Today I can smell food quite strongly but nobody else can smell it.. namely cooked onions. I swear, if I am not pg this month, I am booking myself into a psychiatrist haha. I was going to poas this morning, but talked myself out of it and quickly went for a wee before I changed my mind and will do it tomorrow, as tomorrow would be the earliest I should test really anyway.

Your OH is going to have a very happy Christmas then booboo I plan on doing the same, I will be enjoying completely!

Any more from the earlier ladies on the thread? Any BFPs??

Nothing to report here...only cd5 for me. According to fertility friend app i'll be most fertile 22nd-27th and another says 25th-29th. Trying to convince myself that i wont be so obsessed this 2ww but....you all know what it's like! Just gona try and enjoy the festivities, eat, drink and be merry as they say lol

I guess I'm more worried if I am pg and whether I tell mum straight away or hide for a month or two.

Never had normal af only withdrawal bleeds from pill break... But normally I don't have anything except mood swings and then cramps on the day it comes!! Trying not to get hopes up about being pg as I'm sure this is majorly just hormones!

Any updates from anyone??! Any BFPs?
