Wee Sad that must be hard. How many dpo are you?

weechops · 29/12/2015 09:59

Bfn again this morning Sad I'm feeling pretty gutted tbh. With dh working abroad for 3 months at a time and even when he's home no guarantee it'll be during ovulation, I just don't know when we'll get another chance Sad Having a pity party for one just now.

mamaneedsamojito · 28/12/2015 23:17

My boobies don't hurt this month (7DPO). They usually do by now. Do you think it means I didn't ovulate?

kittyvet · 28/12/2015 20:44

On= OV!

kittyvet · 28/12/2015 20:44

Ha ha mini having a baby has messed with my LIFE! Last cycle lulled into false sense of hope as on on CD15, this month who knows!

vivicrocodile · 28/12/2015 20:43

Hi, can I join please?

I'm 27, TTC#2 (dd 24months) cycle 1.

Hope there's lots of bfps this month :)

Curlywurly4 · 28/12/2015 19:37

Yep that's definitely a positive! Go B6! It changed my ovulation from CD19 to CD13, it's amazing stuff, get DTDing Grin

Five dpo here. No symptoms at all. AF is due New Year's Day. Half tempted to POAS NYE but I've never had a BFP before CD14 so not much point really. Might not stop me though Wink

Hello to those that have joined. Lots of lovely baby dust to everyone.

Annarose2014 · 28/12/2015 19:13

Ok so I'm CD17 & dumbfounded. For reference my cycle is 40 days and last month got my positive opk on CD27 as expected.

This month I've been taking Vit b6 and Magnesium. I half expected an earlier +opk but 10 whole days earlier????

I don't even know what made test tonight tbh. I wasn't going to start till Day 20!

But that's a serious positive, right?!

I'm using ic opks this months (usually spend £££ I the CB digital) and I think I'm getting a surge! Yay! DH better be prepared for some serious nooky, yesterday he was all "I'm so tired"...whatever! Man up! Grin

I've used them before and could never tell when I had a surge before but I'm trying a different brand and they seem to be working for me now, yay!

Anyone going to be testing on New Year's Day at all? It would be a great start if there's a bfp!

EnglishExpatUSA · 28/12/2015 13:52

Thanks Mimi and mama, that's interesting about OPK as HPT, I had no idea. Hope your hang is feeling better mama!

I've just done another FRER and BFN again so must've been a false alarm/evap. Oh well, hopefully the strong OPK means I'm about to ovulate for the first time since I stopped bf. watch out DH!

Good luck with the opks minilop - babies really do screw up our systems eh. Who'd 'ave 'em Wink

Good luck all

esmeraldathistle · 28/12/2015 13:08

Can I join please ladies?

33 years old
TTC#1
Normally 29 cycle 13 day luteal phase

Currently on cycle 6 of actively trying although have been off pill for nearly 3 years
On CD 19 ovulated yesterday
Dtd today and past 5 days so really hoping for a BFP this time

Was very upset and confused last cycle as ovulated on 29th November, then had slight bleeding on day 11 and 12 of my cycle which I thought could be implantation bleeding as was too early for AF only bled for 2 days and I always always have heavy painful bleeding for 6/7. Kept testing and getting BFN then got a faint positive 20 dpo was so excited but crushed as it must have been wrong, as even though AF never materialised I'm not pregnant and just ovulated yesterday so I don't know what happened but am keeping hopeful for this cycle. So I've basically ovulated when I would have done if my cycle had been normal. It's all so hard when you don't know what is going on with your body and I swear it's because I had an appointment at the doctors where he told me they will test day 2 and day 21 of my cycle and then I don't come on!

Baby dust to you all

MiniLop · 28/12/2015 13:05

Hi mimi, fx for you this month!

Kitty another negative on the cheapy OPKs for me this morning Sad starting to feel like I'm not even going to ov this month... This is what having a baby does to our bodies, totally messed up at the moment! You'd think after 10 months my body would be back to normal by now?!

Mimilicious013 · 28/12/2015 12:24

firstgo1984 · 28/12/2015 12:04

mama joining you with the hangover. On cd3 though. Had rather too much gin and I am now paying for it!!!

kittyvet · 28/12/2015 11:02

Snap mini! Still low fertility on my monitor! Do you think our eggs are hiding out together? Now my guests have gone I am drumming my fingers impatiently!!!

MiniLop · 28/12/2015 08:54

Still waiting for my positive opk. Haven't done one yet today so feeling hopeful, it looked a little darker than usual yesterday. Typical though that DH isn't feeling well... Sad

weechops · 28/12/2015 07:27

Bfn Sad But I used one of my many cheapy tests, and the little part where the dye runs across wasn't working til i put my finger on the 'Pee' part to hold it down! Think I'll pick up some FRER today and test again in the morning.

mamaneedsamojito · 28/12/2015 06:47

Hi English. I've read (on here somewhere) that OPKs also pick up pregnancy by the point you've got enough hormone to get a positive HPT. Never tested it myself though so it's only anecdotal. I'd just keep doing the HPTS. Sounds promising!

Oooh, Wee, let us know how it goes.

I'm a bit hungover this morning. Usually I don't have any booze during the TWW but it's Christmas and I'm probably not pregnant anyway so I've made an exception. FYI, Amaretto Sours are both a taste sensation and the work of the devil. Grin

EnglishExpatUSA · 27/12/2015 22:53

Hello ladies,
Hopping over from the dec bus. Hope this is a lucky one for us all!

Currently a little confused - this morning I got a v v v faint line on an internet cheapie hpt. It looked similar to the almost invisible line I got at 9dpo with DD. BUT only when i looked at it about 20 mins after taking it, so definitely not within the time limit. I also got the strongest opk I've ever had at the same time - darker than the control line. I tested again this afternoon on a FRER and no discernible line even after taking the test apart. Is it even possible to get a positive opk if you're preggers? Thinking the first hpt line must've been an evap, although I know when I've got BFN's on internet cheapies before there was absolutely no line, even after the time limit/the next day etc. argh!

weechops · 27/12/2015 22:18

I think I'm going to test in the morning! I'll be 10dpo and I still have sore boobs. This was always my first symptom with my other pregnancies so I'm trying desperately not to get my hopes up but really really really wanting to see a faint line tomorrow!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 27/12/2015 21:09

Here's the rest of he Dec bus Smile

Zazzles, 31, ttc#1, cd27, cycle1 :)

KateMossIsMyQueen · 27/12/2015 17:29

Caved in and tested 5 days early like a moron, got a BFN. It was only an IC, so I might sneak a FRER tomorrow morning if I can get my ass to sainsburys. DH is away until tomorrow night, so haven't mentioned it yet to him, might retest in a couple of days but boobs feel normal and no other symptoms. Harrumph!

mynameiscalypso · 27/12/2015 16:19

Hi ladies, is there room for another one on the bus?

DH and I got married a few months ago and this is our first month TTC #1. We were staying with family over Christmas so didn't manage to DTD too often but I'm pretty sure I ovulated on Christmas Day itself so hoping that our sneaky Christmas Eve quickie will have done the trick. Due to test on 9th Jan but already slightly crazily symptom spotting. Have been feeling v sick for the last day or two but pretty sure that's just because of the amount of chocolate I've eaten! We are going away for a week over NYE so hoping that will distract me.

Keeping everything crossed for lots of BFPs on this bus!

Havetobecrazytolivehere · 27/12/2015 15:05

Hi everyone, I finally got a +ov on CD18/19 and had EWCM around then so hopefully that was ovulation. On CD23 now but don't usually ovulate late so not sure if that will make AF late too. Currently due New Years Day but not going to test so early this time. Don't think I caught it this month anyway but just glad I am ovulating. Hate the 2ww, hard not to symptom spot. Might give temping a go next month.

firstgo1984 · 27/12/2015 10:03

Thanks grace I guess I don't need to know exactly. I dtd on 8th/9th/10th but no joy this cycle. To be honest I am just delighted I am ovulating!
