Added myself! I atold DH I was going to POAS today and he said no let's wait until Monday and because I'm stubborn the more he said no the more I want to so now I will. Also I think the lines are more exciting than the CB week indicator so I bought FR today ... I think I am going MAD!!

okay this has taken ages but I think we are all up to date now... Please feel free to copy the most recent list and add dates if you want to add yours. I have ordered for date as far as I can. Sorry if i missed anyone (had to do sneaky style so DH didn't see. He doesn't know about this mums net obsession and I don't think he'd approve.

Thank for the lists leonie and little.

Ooh snow and zazzles we'll be testing buddies!

leonie I'm not sure about ovulation pain but I've had a positive opk yesterday and today and have been having mild cramping, mainly on the left side?

LisaTheGreek · 07/01/2016 20:22

FXSkip - I haven't, but will go and investigate it on Amazon now Smile

FXSkip · 07/01/2016 20:18

Ha ha I'm glad I'm not the only one spazzing out with the symptoms. I'm going to start tracking my BBT from tmrw now too so that will calm me down (!) Has anyone else read Expecting Better? I started reading it and it has heaps of great research and reassurances about what you can and cannot do during the TWW - highly recommend it

leoniethelioness · 07/01/2016 19:52

Can someone explain what ovulation pain or implantation feels like? I'm on CD 17 (of a 29 day cycle) and have had mild cramping sessions in my lower abdomen area since around 4 o'clock. Could this be anything related to ovulation or conception? I'm not using OPKs and CM seems watery/damp - it was more like egg whites earlier this week. Overthinking...

LaraG13 · 07/01/2016 19:46

My AF due date/ test date is 23rd Jan Smile

Kat I'm next due test/AF 5th Feb..it's sooo far away Sad

Co5mo · 07/01/2016 19:37

Oh but Starky you can temp. You can used two other body sites quite reliably. Just don't go mixing up your thermometers!

KatOnATinRo0f · 07/01/2016 19:33

ummmmmmm so i logged on to mums net on my computer as i thought it would be better for list-editing. and i've never been on here on computer before and I'm confused it looks weird.

Feefeefs · 07/01/2016 19:24

Yeah OVIA never told me I'm pretty either! Cheek! Ha ha

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 07/01/2016 19:19

Thanks sea my BBT better go up by Sat!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 07/01/2016 19:18

Thanks lovelies. Lol starky I'm no sleeping beauty either but atleast it's consistent nonetheless Grin

We've dtd every night this week so far but I'm starting to get sore Blush. Used sperm friendly lube last night but DH didn't like it Confused

lisa I don't use ovia as much as others too, I don't find it accurate (tells me my fertile window is after I ovulate!). I find period lite app more accurate but I've sway between those two & FF for my BBT tracking

LisaTheGreek · 07/01/2016 19:02

So many Ovia lovers on here. It sounds like I use it quite basically, given all the symptom tracking you guys are doing. And I've never been told I'm pretty Envy

Definitely going to start putting more things on!

firstgo1984 · 07/01/2016 19:00

Ok I gave in and got ovia

Seacrown · 07/01/2016 18:59

Zazzles with bbt a dip is indicative that ovulation is about to happen, confirmed if the temp goes up the day after! Hope that helps! X

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/01/2016 18:48

No probs zazz I'd say if you've got ewcm then get boning!

I wish I could temp, but as Dh pointed out I sleep with my mouth open dribbling, snoring and whittering, I'm SUCH a catch! so it probably wouldn't be accurate!

Zazzles- my AF is also due 26th jan so looks like we're last on the jab bus. I'm not going to test until the 29th though if AF hasn't turned up!

starky thanks for the advice re opk & cm. Still confused today - opk negative but I'm sure I'm getting ewcm now (on tissue when wipe - tmi!) so would have thought ovulation is very soon.

BBT still low - it actually dipped this morning, does anyone else get a big temp drop just before ovulation?

Evergreen15 · 07/01/2016 18:31

Kat I am still on this bus Smile
AF due on the 10th according to Kindara and the 8th according to Ovia. I can feel it coming Sad
Of course I tested and of course there was no line there...
But there is hope! Grin
Someone read a poem at work about a pregnant lady and I was in tears, I pinched my friend next to me so hard she was tearful too, so nobody would suspect or read my mind GrinThey already ask why I keep refusing coffees.
That is what friends are for.

becciilouisex · 07/01/2016 18:31

Tell me about it! People say you're mad for noticing every little symptom but when you notice something you know is unusual for you, you can't help but get your hopes up! We all hope for that BFP but I've seen a negative result so often I can't imagine finally seeing that BFP!

Loulabelle1990 · 07/01/2016 18:30

Thanks for your advice. I know I am not pregnant as I done a test New Year's Eve and it was negative. Only thing to do is wait I guess!!!
