Join us. It's a boat. Full of okp's and symptom spotting and insanity! But also much love and support! We were supposed to start next month, we already have a few bfp's! Our dps don't know what's hit them!

Moving swiftly over from BFNs... And phantom lines (sorry I can't see them... But I think there's some websites that you can upload pics to and change the colour saturation to make lines more obvious... I'm sorry I do I know what they're called though. Confused

What prenatal vitamins are you taking?
I haven't put thought in beyond 100% rda and playing special attn to folic acid.
I found my current month's supply in poundland.
Am I being naive?

Fx for a bfp soon Chelb, I'm still holding out, 4 days until I should test apparently! No symptoms to report really apart from being a bit bloaty!

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 21:18

Don't be disheartened Shelb, there's still time.

Another negative OPK for me this evening Sad

BubbaNo1 · 15/12/2015 20:22

Keep going Shel it's not over yet... Fx for the next few days

shelbTa · 15/12/2015 19:44

Brilliant idea Starky.

I had a quick look at the pregnant test live things on YouTube, strangely addictive!

shelbTa · 15/12/2015 19:12

Blue I've been told (on here) that cramps aren't necessarily a bad thing so hang tight. If they are I'm deffo out!

Basically yes pink Grin it's awesome! I'm planning on doing a lot of video logging (just for private) I got a video camera for my birthday last year (not that I was thinking ahead or planning and plotting, oh no! ) so I'very been getting my desktop computer set up in my craft room ready so I can put everything on there. It started because I have basically no pictures/video from our wedding last year. I was sooooo gutted that I decided that if I ever got pregnant, I was going to document it from the word go!

I done my okp... Very faint line. So hopefully it'll just keep getting stronger over the next few days.. I've got my Xmas party on Friday but I'll defo be drinking until I get a BFP Wine Smile

drinkyourmilk · 15/12/2015 18:51

Thanks bunch, that's been my reasoning so far- but you know how easy it is to torture yourself!
Fx bubba and blue

If AF is coming for any of us, may she be quick and painless

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 18:42

Pregnancy test live?!! Is that people filming their sticks once they have peed to see what result they get [runs off to Google]?

Your not out till you're out pup

That's what I thought too pink I've put in the previous dates of tracked periods into ovia but obviously didn't have any other info so it's still a gamble, the good thing is, the more info we input, the more fine tuned it can get, I've just done an okp so will go have a gander at it shortly.

I've been watching pregnancy test live videos all day on YouTube! How sad am I!? Grin

Same here bubba, day 28, expecting AF anytime...feel bloated (although that might have been my big lunch Confused) and still 'wet' ( tmi!)...feeling ever so slightly crampy now too :'-(

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 18:28

I'm definitely going to continue with the OPK tests Starky for at least the rest of this week and over the weekend. At least then I'll have more of a feel for what's going on as at the minute I'm not sure what my body is doing! Am also going to try holding off pregnancy testing till AF is due or (hopefully) late.

Fingers crossed for us all!

Bubbapup89 · 15/12/2015 18:26

Well say 28 and possible signs of AF coming tomorrow. If it stays away I will test in Thursday but not feeling hopeful anymore. Sad

I'm do think you should test pink ovia goes off certain algorithms which may not yet be in tune with your cycle, certain data input will produce a certain result, it can only really be more accurate the longer you've been doing it. It's why I decided to test from yesterday.

Going to do my absolute best to hold off prego testing until af is actually due fat chance which won't be till the first week of Jan.

I don't eat shellfish or a lot of soft cheese, and I don't usually have caffeine, but I've already decided that I'm going to have a couple of glasses of champagne or wine over Christmas. I don't drink much alcohol as it is so it won't alert the media if I don't iykwim. Come what may! Xmas Grin

Thanks Pink... I think I'll do one everyday over the next week or so. They're only cheapies.. Why not eh?! X

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 18:00

Thanks Shelb. Difficult because I'm not confident of when I ovulated, but I'm going to hold out to test towards the end of the month.

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 17:58

That was meant to say Bubba!

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 17:58

Bunba, I second that you should start testing now! Pretty sure Ovia has my fertile week as a week later than it actually is, so I think it can be wrong sometimes. No harm in testing anyway!

BubbaNo1 · 15/12/2015 17:55

Ok cool Thanks ladies x

shelbTa · 15/12/2015 17:51

Bubba I'd say yeah get testing now - ovia can get it wrong.

I'm 7-8 dpo pink and I'm all over the testing!

Yes, we're pretty much cycle sisters bub Grin I'm 2 days off my fertile window according to ovia, I did a test yesterday where I got a very faint line, I've dtd today and then I'll test again tomorrow and dtd Thursday. Then aiming to dtd Friday or Saturday, definitely on Sunday and fx I might get in there on Monday, but I doubt it because he'll probably be working. He's out so much this week now I'm trying to catch him ha between waking up and actually getting up!

bunch I read somewhere (a while ago) that getting a big bag of lollies (like chuba chubs) can be helpful too, something to do with the sugar and the having something in your mouth which settles your stomach/makes your enzymes realise your hungry if you're feeling sick.

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 17:19

Bunch, that's a whole lot of ginger!

BubbaNo1 · 15/12/2015 17:14

Starky.. If I remember correctly I think we have similar cycles... Ovia says 4 days until my fertile window.. Should I start okps from now??
