Back to SQUARE ONE CD1! Anyone want to spend April with me?!

CD 18
Waiting for temps to confirm I ovulated. Had my darkest OPK on CD 16 and have dtd CD 14 to 17. Smep says I should dtd tonight but DH has gone to the pub and I'm shattered. I'm going to bed in a minute.

Good luck getting DH on board physics is he sciency like you, perhaps a bit of education about how conception actually works, I was surprised that an egg only lives up to 24 hours.

How did the OPK do Racja?

Hugs to Mimi and Sucha

Radders I didn't get symptoms until I was 7 or 8 weeks but the main one was tiredness, I'd just come home and collapse on the sofa. Good luck with the digital.

I'm going to bed, night all.

radders I think I will pick up a test tomorrow (an early detection one) and maybe do it Saturday or Sunday if AF hasn't arrived before then. Maybe it's my period about the start and that's why in getting the strong OPKs.

If I still don't have my period next week I'm going to go see the doctor anyway as all these strange symptoms and no AF it doesn't seem right.

Sorry to hear Sucha .... I know it's difficult but I'm sure you will feel a bit better tomorrow and be ready to conquer the next month!

Jod that's really strong isn't it. So either you are about to ovulate or you are pregnant. Creamy mucus comes when pregnant mainly I would say though. Could you not go the doctor for a blood test?

Waiting for digital to arrive. Hopefully it will come tomorrow. New hair - did you do it on FMU? Even if it comes tomorrow I might wait until Saturday morning to do it on FMU.
Yea I dtd lots to be honest...so would've been sperm there all the time.
I think you must have to do it at such the right time. Don't forget if you're not doing it regular the sperm quality may not be as good too.
Still no symptoms my side.

Oooh sucha sorry hun .we must call ttc an"emotional rollercoaster ".it is so depressing when u hve tried all the tricks.
Good luck parney and everyone poas soon fx
Hope you all had a pleasant day

It's devastating! Hugs sucha.. So glad we've this thread as I've not told anyone about TTC and sometimes you just need to chat. We're all in it together!

I was so bloody sure and now I'm so bloody sad

Laughing at the seeds idea Footprints! When I was a child I genuinely thought you just decided you wanted a baby and woke up PG the next day..

I struggle to find the FRER here Jod! Weird although you've just reminded me that I've two digi tests at home! They're not very sensitive though so will wait to see if AF shows!

I haven't done anything today (apart from surf the web and be on here)!

Yes I'm planning next month already too

I was just looking at some plants that I planted a few weeks ago from seeds and that they have sprouted up and growing nicely. Wouldnt it be great if it was that simple.. Swallow the seeds (from a packet!) and then boom..

Oh sucha 😥 I really think I'll be joining you. AF due Saturday and I have had terrible cramps since Tuesday. Checked with my ovia app for March and I had these cramps on the day of AF. Lots and lots of DTD next month???? Focused! Then again the two BFPs of the thread came about differently? Radders were you almost smep? And new hair just once? Wow! I can't wait to hear more about your little beans!

For me just before ovulation I'm dry and then it goes sticky but clear, and the EWCM. The creamy stuff is more post ovulation and when you are pregnant I thought? I could be wrong..?
My previous pregnancies I never really got much creamy CM until I actually was pregnant.

Just had a sizeable amount of creamy not quite egg white though discharge?!
Maybe I'm going to ovulate!

Oh Jod it's such an annoying time, sending positive vibes!!

Footprints going to do an OPK when I get home, I'll post the results later, wish I'd brought some to work with me now! We dtd this morning which I wasn't too keen on at 7.30am but I'm glad we did now!!

Physicskate DH thinks I've gone mad and is threatening to withhold dtd cos he thinks I'll only do it when I'm fertile! They have no clue

I did a digital but about two weeks ago and it said Not Pregnant. I'm in Ireland so no super drug here. Tempted to buy a FRER BUT also afraid as I can still see the lines on the last ones I did and I don't trust them now.
I really am pulling my hair out.

Thanks all.
Sorry Sucha. Sending you hugs.

Tee we only did it once during my fertile phase. I was away with work almost back to back so we took the opportunity the night I flew in from my first trip. I had EWCM the next day, so it must have been then. Lucky I guess (DH is very pleased with himself). Symptoms wise just bloated really. I feel "different" somehow too, but that might all be in my head. Oh and I was very emotional last week, but put this down to tiredness after being away.

Jod I am no expert when it comes to icy levels etc. Have you tried a digital test yet?

CD20/5dpo? (Possibly )

Congratulations newhair! It's so good to see those words isn't it!

Racja- start opk testing! Last month I ov at cd23/ this month was cd15/16. Luckily I tested early to catch it.

Jod- u must be pulling your hair out! I feel your frustration too. What is going on? It's good though that you are having symptoms so maybe the hcg hormone is weaker in your body that it doesn't show up?

Sucha- So sorry. Sending you lots of hugs and all I can say is keep positive and plan your diet, supplements and all sex for next month to keep your tears away. Really hard I know as I've been ever so teary. Think I'll be joining u shortly, as with my mix up bleed i haven't got the foggiest what is going on and when I'm due AF or ov next.

Physicskate- my DH thinks the same, he thinks I'm obsessing over it. Finds it hard to believe that only a few days per month it's poss to get pregnant when lots of people have accidents. He refuses to listen.. And refuses to be a machine! So think next month I'm going to have a hard time. Might have to deny it for a bit so he will be gagging for it by ov time!

Tee4me - I do have quite long cycles but I will do an OPK later on today to see what it says!

Big hugs Sucha

Jod so confusing, must be frustrating for you

newhair Congrats!!!

sucha big hugs.

Think I've got my period girls

CD 36 Yey newhair!!!! So exciting!!!
radders how you doing?
sucha on my second I had brown blood on the morning AF was due i was PG though so must have been implantation. Is it gone now?

I did an IC this morning. I Think I can see a faint line but only when I hold it up to the light?! Could be Evap. Also did an ovulation test. I have been doing them daily and they seem to be getting stronger? confused?!
These are today's Ovulation tests....

Hello ladies waves

Sorry I've been off the radar a few days, work has been hectic!

CD 12
Don't want to get my hopes up but really feel like this could be my month, feeling very positive and relaxed

When is best to start OPK's cycle-wise? Going by my m.calendar I should be fertile 30th-5th but I don't want to miss it! Also I drink loads of water as one of the side effects of my medication is a dry mouth and excessive thirst so I'm worried this will give unpredictable results?!?
