So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

Jod1985 · 16/04/2016 07:57

Yey!!!!! Whoop whoop radders happy birthday to you!!! What a present!!!

raddersmrs · 16/04/2016 07:09

Really rooting and feeling positive for you all now!

I didn't really have any symptoms apart from being a bit emotional and I honestly thought the cramps yesterday were AF.... So goes to show you don't necessarily feel the "right" things and can get a BFP... Fx.

Oh yea sorry happy birthday mini footprints!!

We have taken the test to all different rooms with different lighting to check we are not seeing things and it is pink! Xx

Mimilicious013 · 16/04/2016 07:01

We can't believe it. Hoping the little bean sticks now ... Will test again tomorrow. I will probably want to do one later!

Happy birthday radders**

Footprints1 · 16/04/2016 06:15

CD15

Yay!
Another CD day!

That's ok radders I knew what u meant.

Well so disappointed that I fell asleep last night before dtd. Typical timing. So 5am this morning I woke poor DH up!
He wasn't best pleased dtd regardless . So I'm hoping I covered the chances. Cd15, cd13,cd12,cd11 cd9. Maybe again tonight! My temp took a dip cd13, then up cd14, same temp cd15. So don't think it's over yet.

SuchaJem · 15/04/2016 22:41

Fx for a birthday bfp radders

Jod1985 · 15/04/2016 22:14

Still no AF but interesting to read your CM comments as I was about to ask about it. Mine is creamy / clear and quite a bit of it? I thought if AF was on route it would have dried up.

My boobs don't usually hurt in lead up to AF. (I think someone asked me that)

I calmed down this afternoon and spent the day with my oldest having quality time.

Footprints1 · 15/04/2016 19:49

Sorry to hear about work getting you down radders.

Yes will try to do all of those days! DH is exhausted. He keeps saying I've been eating too much aphrodisiacs!

raddersmrs · 15/04/2016 19:47

Footprints sorry I meant a positive opk!

raddersmrs · 15/04/2016 19:39

After ovulation it goes creamy/sticky and then when get closer to AF it becomes dry. If it stays thick and creamy that is a sign of pregnancy.

Mine hasn't dried up yet but it's not thick and creamy.

Footprints so happy you got a BFP! According to smep when get positive opk should Dtd that day 2 days more and have a break for one day and then do it again. That's what we tried to do hence why so much Dtd.

It is my birthday tomorrow! So hopefully a nice present but I think with my dpo I think it's to early.

Work is a bit pants at the moment and it got to me but also think I'm
A bit more emotional than normal.

SuchaJem · 15/04/2016 18:24

tee I'm on day 23 AF is due Thursday. I'll wait until then to test. I hate testing! Staring at that single line and feeling your heart sink

On the other hand love a positive OPK footprints sounds like you've times things perfectly.

Footprints1 · 15/04/2016 18:19

CD14

So today was a little bit confusing as I I took a opk test and the line was dark but not really as dark as the control line so I was unsure if I was near to ovulation or not. Luckily I had one spare clearblue digital opk left from last month so I used it and I got that big flashy smiley face!!
Was so excited! So thank goodness we dtd the last few days ! Will try tonight too to make sure.. And then tomorrow (hopefully)

Anyone got a really dark line darker than the control line on the cheapy tests on Amazon?

Footprints1 · 15/04/2016 18:14

Tee- from the other post I was on before a few ladies got their BFP's and they all seemed to have either creamy CM or clear CM and quite a bit of it. I suppose each body is different though.

Footprints1 · 15/04/2016 18:11

CD14

Radders- your birthday tomorrow did u say? Hope u have a lovely day! It's my sons birthday tomorrow too- he's 7.

Sometimes having that 'feeling' is the best sign Sucha! What CD are you on? When will you test??
Good luck tomorrow Radders!!
Anyone able to give me a short lesson in CM, what to look out for at what stage?? Only thing I know is that it should turn EW before/during ovulation, then creamy shortly after. But what do you all look out for in the 2ww??
