At least you can eat! Envy i've been sick all day and only now settled down a bit. Still , yesterday was bfn so I am not sure what happened here...Confused

pulpi · 23/08/2015 17:01

You're probably right, Raluca. I'll eat my weight in nutella in the meantime. Also, cheese. And there's some ice cream around here somewhere...

RalucaMorena · 23/08/2015 14:57

I would give it a couple more days

pulpi · 23/08/2015 14:31

Sitting at 10 dpo with a headache that goes all the way to my toes. AF due Tuesday. Too soon to POAS?

KittyandTeal · 23/08/2015 12:07

I think I've decided, in line with DH and I discussing a more layed back approach, to not do opk this month and just temp.

Violet88 · 23/08/2015 11:23

Hiya, I've had to do a slight name change as I couldn't remember my password to change it and couldn't remember which email address Id used to sign up. Birchy can you change my name on the stats pls. Was VioletIbiza88 now just Violet88. Also stats are changing slightly due to a 26 day cycle last month.


Violet88, 27, ttc #1, cycle 6, OTD 8/9/15.

Morning Banana! Hopefully you didn't ovulate early and there's still a chance. I had a tiny bleed and ovulation pain 5 days before my app said I did. I have more of a chance if I ovulated when I think I did. I hate the not knowing and af will be late if I go by my app ovulation too! Will be very confusing Confused

I go on holiday on the 30th so if af arrives a day or 2 after then at least I'm enjoying myself whilst away. Will take some tests with me on the off chance af doesn't arrive Smile

Banana79 · 23/08/2015 09:24

Princes I missed my surge too! First month using cbdigi instead of the ICs too...waste of money grrrrAngry

I think actually I ov'd a week earlier than Ovia was telling me which was while OH was away on cricket tour so I'm not hopeful. Only a week to wait now xxx

Emu123 · 23/08/2015 09:09

Hi to all the newbies Smile

I'm on cd 17 and haven't temped this month so no clue if I've ovulated. I got a cb digi smiley on day 13 and we dtd on 13, 14 and 15 which is v impressive for us!!! Still got ewcm though so not sure if I've od or not as I thought it usually disappears

Guess we will dtd today and then maybe eod next week. I thought not temping would be less stressful but now not sure Confused

RalucaMorena · 22/08/2015 15:31

Waves everybody!
Af is due on Monday so I hop on provisionally. I had a bfn yesterday at 12dpo so probably af shall come.

Hi to all the newbies, we are a very friendly bus :)

Buddy Banana- I too have had a mare with opks this month! Think I may have missed ovulation or not ovulated at all. I must have done 15/20 opks with no definite positive, just have to wait and see now. No clue what dpo I might be?

SharyBobbins · 21/08/2015 21:29

Thanks Birchy & Chat Smile so if I get a positive ovulation test this cycle do you think I should call and change my bloods for 7 days after that? At the moment they're booked in based on a GP estimated date of what to do with a 43 day cycle person! He was like "normally it would be day 21 but with you...erm..."!

Vikkijayne2507 · 21/08/2015 21:02

Yeah birchy I think you're covered I conceived Ds I dtd night 3 days and night b4 my positive opk and 2 days later I think and i just put him to bed so it worked

pulpi · 21/08/2015 18:53

Following fallout over here. Getting ready to test in about a week, but it's getting a bit lonely over on the summer bus...

Test date: 27 August

No real symptoms yet, although last night I asked the DH to check if my nipples were darker (apparently a possible sign). He was happy to oblige.

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 21/08/2015 18:33

Hello! I hope no one minds me joining in? I haven't really been on a bus before. I posted on the summer bus but was advised to pop over here as it's almost full.

KittyandTeal · 21/08/2015 16:46

Yeah chat, it's not easy ttc tbh. Knowing that if you do get that positive it's not going to be all joy and excitement doesn't make the stress easier.

birchygoo · 21/08/2015 09:42

Welcome newbies

Belle, I use the CBFM and I like it even though it does cost a lot of money! It takes the guess work out for me. I used cheapies once and I thought I was ovulating 7 days in a row Confused so next month I ditched those.

Shary, I concur with Chat - day 21 tests are to be completed 7 days after ovulation. So my Gp said to me that to have it done day21 and if it didnt show ovulation to come back and have it done a few days later again.

Banana I didn't use OPK's last month and it drove me nuts so I am using it again this month - I didnt like all the unanswered questions I had. Hope it goes better for you.

I got my peak today!! I DTD last night and if I DTD again tomorrow morning do you think that should be me covered?

Thanks Birchy

Hi, Kitty lovely to see you too. I'm okay I think. Bit terrified (of conceiving or not managing to), but okay. Apart from the hormone-driven flood of tears that greeted this month's AF. Hope you're well too.

Shary I think D21 bloods should be done seven days post-ovulation, as they are designed to 'prove' you've ovulated...they're badly named.

Banana79 · 20/08/2015 22:32

Password resetting dramas...over! What a PITA! Hey buddy 3princes! FX for us both but I'm not feeling it this month. I think I ovulated a week ago (ewcm and feeling frisky) and nothing of either since. Fertility app thinks it should be tomorrow! Still no OPKs. When I hop on this bus properly in September I have vowed no more OPKs. They are driving me crazy!Angry

Hi everyone.
Hoping I can join Smile


NAME: greyhorses
AGE: 25
TTC #: 1
CYCLE #: 5
ETD: 12 September

Feeling very disheartened at the moment, I have been off the pill for 18 months now where we were waiting to see what happened with nothing and now have been ttc for around 5-6months with no luck.

SharyBobbins · 20/08/2015 20:31

Hi there, can I jump on this bus too? Never been one one before!

Name: Shary
Age: 29
TTC: no. 1
Cycle: 5
ETD: I'm not that positive! Sad

Currently settled on 43 day cycles which is very frustrating. My GP is doing bloods this cycle, it should be in early September but I'm REALLY hoping to ovulate sooner. Saying that I'm not sure when my bloods should be done. I know it's day 21 for 28 day cycles so is the general rule 7 days before your period? Or 7 days post ovulation? I also suspect I have a shorter luteal phase which probably doesn't help!!

KittyandTeal · 20/08/2015 20:27

Chat good to see you here. Hope you're well. Thanks

Emilygremily · 20/08/2015 17:08

CD38 and still not sure :( been feeling really unwell today so AF may be on her way after all
