Who wants to buddy up?!

Oh Violet I'm so sorry, is it definitely Af and not implantation bleeding? did you definitely ov when you think you did, as that is a very short leutal phase, anywhere between 10-16 days is the norm (so I've read) definitely treat yourself hun xx

Im out! :( AF arrived this afternoon completely unexpected as although it's CD27 today I'm only 6 or at most 7 dpo. I don't understand how i can have such a short luteal phase?? Currently having a guilt free latte' and theres a big piece of chocolate cake in the cupboard with my name on it for later! Not gonna lie, gutted :(

Welcome Faybelline!

Nicky I think I'm officially in the tww now! DTD sunday (19th) and last night (21st). Phone app predicted ov on 20th, plus I've used 4 cheap ov sticks over the past few days. Yesterday morning's was quite faint, this morning's a lot darker. Have held my wee for a few hours and did one when I got home from work, which was really pale again (taking into account wee might be diluted a bit). So looks like I've ov'd in the past 24hrs!

Might dtd again later and give ourselves a bit more chance this cycle!

I'm also thinking of getting dh vitamins and persuade him to take them lol What have you gone for?

Ooh what's agnus cactus?

If by some miracle I did get a BFP this month after all would obviously be delighted but would also be like 'goddamn!! I've just spent £60 on a ttc tool-kit!!' Lols

Bought Clearblue OPKs, Conceive Plus lube, vitamins for me and OH and Agnus Castus (which I've not decided whether I will take or not yet!)

Ooh what have you ordered Issie? I've ordered preseed and it's due next week, and I'm going to start the dtd marathon next Wednesday too, I'm.literally counting the days down

Nothing much to report nicky cd3 here, I'm dying to pee on a stick of any kind already lol

Oh and most of my Amazon ttc shopping spree goodies have now arrived so I'm all ready for May!

Welcome Faybelline. Will this be your first DC?

Brooke- not 100% out but 98% out

Nicky- hope the headache is better. I read the other day that if you put your hands and feet in warm water and a bag of frozen peas on the back of your neck and sit like that for a bit it alleviates migraines/headaches by re-directing the blood or something. Worth a try if you don't want to take tablets.

looking , maybe and strawberry....how are you ladies doing???

if I have forgotten anyone I apologise...I've had to keep coming off the message 4 times to remember who's who and what stage there at lol....

Hi faybelline. ...
welcome to the madness that is ttc.....
good luck let the dtd marathon begin....

hope all you others have had a lovely day in this gorgeous weather....

I've managed to do lots of washing and tidy up but been struck by a blinding headache in last hour ....its that bad it's making me feel sick. since we decided to ttc I've held off taking painkillers which I know is a bit silly when not even sure if it's worked but I've had to take some just now.

hoping to feel better soon.

issie339 and brooke...how you 2 lovelies doing....working up to start the dtd marathon!!!!

violet...have you decided when to test yet??

sparkle....have you refrained from using the pissy sticks???

So you're not out yet Issie fingers and toes crossed for you :)

Welcome faybelline

I mean Saturday..

Hi all I'm new here I'm having my coil out tonight.. And I'm in my fertile window until Thursday.
Looking for a buddy too x

Hi Brooke- AF hasn't arrived in it's full force yet (due today) but all the signs are there so I'm 98% sure I'm out.

So who's next to test, I've totally lost track? Is it Sparkles on Friday?

Congratulations to sparkles hubby :) wow dc4, how lovely ;) dont think I had any energy to babydance when.any of mine were 8months old, hats off to you

Are you definitely out this month now Issie

Congratulations Mr Sparkles!!!!

No problems Nicky.
So glad I'm not the only one who need to address their weight.
I'm gonna weigh myself today and see exactly what needs doing.
Then start, I figure just eating sensibly and cutting out the crap will make a big difference with BF and hopefully building one! Should drop off right???

Violet maybe split the difference and test tues with frer? That's my best suggestion and sounds good - if youre pretty sure when you Ov'd then tues would be DPO 12?

I have 2 busy days now so distraction ahoy. I do solemnly swear to leave the pissy sticks in their hiding place until thurs pm when I shall remove them to their place of utilisation ready for that first wee wee of the day on fri.

Have a lovely day ladies xxx

yay well done Mr sparkle.

Aw I'm sorry I will miss Friday but in all honesty sparkle I haven't a clue when is best to test lol....

glad you've had a good night out and keep away from the sticks!!! xx

Mr Sparkle got the job YAY!
Found out at 5pm

Have had unbelievable tiredness today but probably actually just tired!

Oh Nicky...I'll miss you!! Glad you'll virtually be there tho

Brooke we are currently ttc #4 (dd8, ds6, dd2 8mths) if it was you who asked- I think it was.

Have just had a wonderful night out with the girls arranged before we knew about Mr sparkles interview.

At tescos today I invested in a 2 pack of tesco cheapies and a clear blue digi for confirmation if I'm lucky enough to win a BFP. Now I just have to heed my own sage advice and leave well enough alone til Friday. X

Well I'm happy if I'd ov on either the Monday or Tuesday as we dtd Monday so should be covered .

I haven't a clue when to.do.the test...I may just go with the flow and see what happens over weekend.

I agree with you maybe wait as long as you can to avoid getting the wrong answer xx

I don't know, I can't decide either between sunday, monday, wednesday and thursday lol! One minute im decided on sunday and then I think no I'd rather wait and not risk the disappointment! If you are testing before AF due I think a frer sounds your best bet.

Pinched from an amazon product description about frer. "In clinical testing, First Response detected hormone levels consistent with pregnancy in 62% of women 5 days before their expected period, in 78% of women 4 days before their expected period, in 87% of women 3 days before their expected period and in 98% of women 2 days before their expected period."

Also the strong opk you had on Monday is indicating a surge of LH, which means ov is expected to follow in 24-36 hours so it could have been Monday or Tuesday that you ov'd i guess.

I'm not sure violet to be honest...I did the opks for about 5 days had 2 negs and then a positive on the Monday (not yesterday week before) then 2 lighter lines next day and then next then neg by the Thurs so I'm taking it I ov on the Monday. I think realistically I need to wait until Monday don't you think?? x

Oh an had a horrible head ache today. But in other news my mother visited tonight and I managed to not think about babies for about 3 hours lol!
