Looking for a Mum-to-be to buddy up! I'm TTC number 1 and not had any luck so far, having a couple of months off before we start trying again. x

Morning everyone!

Violet you are very wise, I didn't think about the fact that I could ov up to 48 hours after static smiley, that makes a lot more sense now. I couldn't do another opk yesterday because the static smiley has frozen on the screen- Google tells me it does this for 2 days. So I'm going to trust the static smiley was correct and crack on.

Eek, yes we'll all be testing around the same time!! Fx for us all this month

sarah1391 · 07/05/2015 23:17

Hi everyone fx for u all! Think i'm going to test after the 18th as i really have no idea what i'm doing...i doubt i will get a BFP this time but u never know! Visiting an old work colleage at the weekend who is 28 weeks pregnant so no doubt i'll leave hers broodier than ever!

VioletIbiza88 · 07/05/2015 22:53

issie static smiley today could mean you will ov in next two days, so still could be sat. Get bd'ing!!.

Brooke I'm sure you can still have ewcm after ov. You need to stop googling. As a wise woman said to me "Google is not your friend" lol

Very exciting that we will al be hopefully testing around the same time x

VioletIbiza88 · 07/05/2015 22:46

sparkles "engaging in that behavior". That did make me lo! Hopefully we've all been engaging in that behavior, otherwise I won't hold out much hope for bfps!

Sorry to hear af came lovely. The way i liked to think about it when af came unexpectedly early for me last cycle was, at least cause af has come im now day one of a brand new cycle. Iyswim. Like a moving on kind of thing.

Brooke113 · 07/05/2015 14:09

Thanks sparkles you made me laugh Grin although I'm sure it was Ewcm as sorry if TMI "the product" doesn't stretch like Ewcm and this did...

I'm just so confused as normal OPKs are negative yet I'm still getting Ewcm, according to Google it means my body has geared up to ov and then hasn't bothered :( will still try dtd every other day I think, but I'm not holding out much hope for this cycle.Going to try temping next cycle and go from there.

Issie I wish I had some advice for you but I've only just started using clearblue OPKs.

Issie339 · 07/05/2015 13:25

Sorry to hear your AF turned up lovely FlowersWine hope you're ok and staying positive.

Strange one for me today, OPK gave me a static smiley face today when I had a blank circle yesterday, so it's totally skipped the flashing smiley...this has never happened before. Do you reckon I'm ovulating today? It is early as I'm not due to ovulate until Saturday. Maybe I'll do another opk this afternoon and see what it says.

sarah1391 · 07/05/2015 12:13

Thanks lovely, hate waiting but i suppose it's better than getting a BFN and then keep waiting for AF to turn up anyway! Sorry AF turned up for u, fx u get a BFP next time!

Lovelyjubbly95 · 07/05/2015 12:00

Home tests not homeless :\

Lovelyjubbly95 · 07/05/2015 12:00

Sarah1391 some people say you can test as positive the moment the egg is fertilised but probably best to wait til 6 days before ur due is the earliest homeless willdetect pregnancy x

Lovelyjubbly95 · 07/05/2015 11:58

Will do! Hopefully my monitor will show me a peak this time haha and behave itself! Best of luck to everyone else!

sparklesandfizz · 07/05/2015 11:09

lovely so sorry but you know where your at, have Wine Cake pick yourself up and go again for that June bfp.

Baby sparkles covered in a rash but much better thank you.
Dtd marathon has begun. Cd13 today and managed x2 yesterday, plan daily now to cd16. At least this is the fun bit!

Violet & Brooke I 'll be testing at a similar time to you guys I think.

Opks sound stressful, have decided to trust that I am ovulating despite BF as period completely regular.

Brooke I always get increased discharge similar to EWCM when dtd in an unprotected manner iykwim, maybe that as I happen to know you have been engaging in that behaviour Wink

Lovelyjubbly95 · 07/05/2015 10:58

Well looks like Af has turned up on time.... :/ ah well

Brooke113 · 07/05/2015 08:08

Morning ladies, still stressing that I havnt actually ov'd yet...more Ewcm after I went to the bathroom this morning, what is my body playing at?

sarah1391 · 06/05/2015 17:22

How early can u do a pregnancy test? Last DTD Monday morning and I've been stressing since before that wondering if I'll get a BFP or not. Also I've just been to the toilet (tmi probs) and had a little bit of discharge which was quite watery...this is the first time I've actually paid attention but is this not meant to mean I've ovulated?

Lovelyjubbly95 · 06/05/2015 14:18

Poas not post lol

Lovelyjubbly95 · 06/05/2015 14:17

Issie I will post at the wkend if af doesn't turn up...

Issie339 · 06/05/2015 11:01

Violet night shift with no caffeine sounds hideous Sad I'm not very keen on instant coffee, normally pick one up from Pret or something on the way to work. I feel such a dork ordering my decaf!! Everyone looks at me like I'm nuts or something and I hang my head in shame haha. Sarah1391 glad you're not suffering too much, I on the other hand feel like my mind has turned to fudge, sigh. Not sure if Diet Coke has caffeine in.

Brooke113 · 06/05/2015 10:01

That is along time away! I honestly don't think I can wait until cd35, I'll try as hard as I can. I thought you ov'd within 48 hr? It's very confusing isn't it. I had the worst cramps on Monday, the same day as smile. Negative opk today, yet awful cramps again :(

VioletIbiza88 · 06/05/2015 09:49

Yeah im sure you have already Brooke, have you decided what day your testing? Are you going to follow smep to the letter and test on cd35 or is that asking a bit much???!!! If I take it that todays my LH spike, so ov should be within 12-36 hrs, I will go for it happening tomorrow therefore Dpo14 for me is (hopefully if i get there this time) Thursday 21st May, but cd35 is Tuesday 26th May. What a long time away that is, its only the 6th!!

Brooke113 · 06/05/2015 09:36

So I just did a cheapy opk, before I'd had a drink, and it was completely negative, barely a shadow of a line in the test window. Think that means I've already ov'd...I think I might continue to do them for a few more days...

sarah1391 · 06/05/2015 08:41

Issie this is my 2nd day caffeine free and seems to be going fine so far (however caffeine has never had much of an effect on me)....does diet coke have caffeine in it? I have a glass of that in the evening :/

VioletIbiza88 · 06/05/2015 08:39

Issie hope you get your flashing smiley tomorrow! I've got three nights in a row from Monday, first caffeine free nights ever! Oh dear! I've found dough egberts (sp?) Decaf coffee is quite nice but unfortunately nescafe decaf cappuccinos are no where near as good as the normal nescafe lattes!!!

VioletIbiza88 · 06/05/2015 08:26

Anyone heard anything from Nicky? Is there an update?

Issie339 · 06/05/2015 08:22

lovely when are you going to POAS? Fx for you.

Yey violet! Thats good news.

Get well soon Baby Sparkles.

Empty circle again for me today but am expecting flashing smiley tomorrow.

How are all the caffeine fiends getting on caffeine free? I have to say life without caffeine isn't so good- I feel so tired all the time!

VioletIbiza88 · 06/05/2015 08:20

Brooke dtd this morning before oh went to work. I'm off today. Tomorrow an Friday I'm working 7am till 7:30 pm, so will be able to do tomorrow evening an Friday evening. Sundays day off to so that's no problem. Just thinking is that too big a gap between 6am this morning and like 9pm tomorrow, or am I overthinking this.... Could do this evening so there not too far apart but that wouldn't be smep...
