CD 20 3dpo?? 1dpo??

Well last night didn't go as intended - cat fight, scratches, worried I might need stitches... but all's well now. Thank god the neighbours (and their cat) are moving next week!

FF says I ov'd before I got the positive opk... ?? So I might be 3dpo, which means we didn't need last night anyways and we timed things pretty well anyway! Maybe dh is right and it's all bollucks??

I think it's more likely I am 1dpo (so positive opk two days ago, ov'd yesterday), as I did have a significant temp rise this morning... Will wait and see if FF agrees in a couple days. In which case, last night could have been crucial, as we are relying on two day old sperm! Oh all of this is enough to drive one nuts!

Footprints1 · 30/04/2016 08:23

CD2915dpo .. Or 8dpo or 2dpo or not any dpo?

Morning everyone,

Happy Saturday!

Temp is still high (slightly higher than yesterday 36.9) so looking like AF is not coming anytime soon. My temp chart confirms ovulation now - 3rd time lucky! Fertility friend isn't my friend, it thinks I'm going madConfused

Hope you all have been busy in the bedroom Wink

Summerblush1982 · 29/04/2016 21:53

Good on you footprints1
I've just missed the bubbles and that Friday night feeling! Let's toast to some bfp's!

physicskate · 29/04/2016 20:33

DH still convinced there aren't just a few days in a month (about 4-5 at the outside, I said) where one can get upduffed. I'm a teacher (of a different science to be fair) and he still doesn't believe me! I might have to break out some of the resources we use with Year 7... If I can't get through to him, I've got no chance with them!

Good luck Nimisha. Hoping for the best!

DTD tonight - hope we've time ok and fatigue hasn't ruined everything for us this month!!

Footprints1 · 29/04/2016 20:32

Oh summer, I've just caved in too.. Sipping a glass of prosecco! Hmm

Nim - hope it's not AF for you xx

Summerblush1982 · 29/04/2016 20:27

We've mentioned our hubbys in this post and their lack of awareness! After 3 days of trying, hubby said 'do you feel pregnant'??? Men have no idea!!!

Summerblush1982 · 29/04/2016 20:25

I'm wishing you all the luck Nimisha!! X

Nimisha · 29/04/2016 20:16

Well I can't tell whether it's spotting or AF. When my coil was in, AF was a few days of red/brown spotting which is exactly what I'm having now.

I'm still going to test on Monday but I'm not holding out hope.

Summerblush1982 · 29/04/2016 19:34

I've caved in ladies!! I'm having me some prosecco tonight!!!

Well, no dtd last night. Was working upstairs and came down to find OH asleep on the couch - at 8:30!! Will dtd tonight though. Trying to convince the OH that the more nympho we are this month (I like that phrase), the less we will have to in future months because hopefully it will catch! I think he is exhausted by the one mid-week!!! Maybe three day weekend will encourage him along!

OPK is a bit faded, but almost same as control line, so hoping I haven't ov'd yet!!! Plus temp rise from yesterday has not been sustained... so hopefully I get the rise tomorrow morning.

Sorry for rambling all!

footprints and jod I know my cycles can sometimes be a bit frustratingly long, but jeesh you both deserve medals!

Footprints1 · 29/04/2016 14:41

Tee- those look amazing! Made me feel hungry! My boys would love those.

Jod- it's horrible not knowing what's going on. I'm sure u wish the same to be back to normal regular cycles, makes it so much easier to time things right. My poor DH thinks I'm a nymphomaniac, he says I've been gagging for it each week !! Oops it's all those poxy positive opk's!

Just read the instructions to the IC pregnancy tests and the ingredients are mouse anti a Hcg and rabbit anti mouse LG antibodies! Ha how nice! :) you can tell I have nothing to do today ;).

So opk was negative! A very faded line. so guessing it was ovulation last night. Hopefully it will b last attempt?Anyone else felt queasy on last day of ovulation? As I felt very queasy last night but ok today. Nipples settled down a bit now. Just wondering..

So did an IC hcg test and was a bfn. Kind of expected it anyway. But hey ho.. Plodding on eating the pineapple and nuts incase I caught an egg somewhere in this cycle. Will test next week if still no AF then the week after blah blah.. I won't have an AF until I ovulate I'm guessing.. So if this time was successful then I'll be ready to test with racja and physic. If I get another high temp then I hope that's ov done?

Lots of good plans for the weekend I see, hope u all have a fab time away! Not much this end.. Both DH and I have physical jobs so we are shattered by the weekend. Might go and see jungle book in cinema with the kids that's about it.

CD 7 Star 21st may

Hello everybody!

Footprints if I were you I would be testing. You think it's ovulation anyway so even if you do get a bfn it's only what you are expecting in some ways. But if you got a bfp then yay!! You might be second guessing over nothing you never know.
It's quite a personal choice on whether to test or not

Jod feel for you too. Have you done another test ??

Tee send them my way. Sounds lovely!!

Hope everyone is ok and ready for the weekend. I know I am!!

Today I have a lot of CM that's really creamy. Ovia says I'm transitioning well into ovulation time... Blooming hope so! Xx

Mars brownies sound amaaaaaaazing tee can I have some Smile

jod plenty of vitamin C and rest up!

Jod1985 · 29/04/2016 08:55

Oh footprints it sounds like both you and I are as confused as each other?!
I have no idea what cycle day I'm on. I think I have ovulation twice in last 5 weeks. Then yesterday I had sharp stitch like pains in right hand side that would remind me again of ovulation. Symptom spotting I have tingly nipples, creamy discharge and my mood....well I'm like an anti Christ! So snappy and angry?! Very unlike me. I also think I'm getting a cold Sad I'm congested.

Hope everyone else is well! Sorry to Moan.

Tee4me · 29/04/2016 08:51

Woohoo Jem! Sounds like a nice weekend ahead for you. Get those swimmers in training!
We were supposed to be going down to Devon today until Monday with a few others, but there's been a hiccup with the house. I made a batch of mars bar brownies for everyone, now it looks like I'm stuck with them all, I so wanted to eat healthy, but how can I let a whole pile of them go to waste?! They are so naughty Chocolate
At least we'll have more privacy for DTD if we stay home, but at a loose end with plans!

Oh Footprints! The plot thickens! Good thing that your temp is high, it doesn't sound like AF is coming anytime soon.
I think doctors are obliged to be very reserved about this type of thing, they are bound to discourage you from repeat testing. Silly for her to laugh about opk picking up hcg, as they definitely can (you just have to remember other factors cause positive opks too). My best friend got a positive opk when she was pg with her DS.
I think I remember you saying you'd ordered ICs. I think if I were in your position with all this confusion over ovulation, I'd be doing ICs every few days. It won't be as disappointing seeing BFNs, as you are really muddled about OD? xx

SuchaJem · 29/04/2016 08:43

footprints I would definitely test if I was you. You've got enough symptoms and no period. I'd rather know.

CD8 over here and I'm cruising into Bank Hol mode WineCakeFlowers We've got dinner with friends tonight, got to buy a new sofa tomorrow, a wedding Sunday and chilling Monday! Plus plenty of DTD in between! What are you all up to?

Footprints1 · 29/04/2016 08:22

CD28Star14dpo .. Or 7dpo or 1dpo or not any dpo?

Symptom spotting alert !! I'm so confused! Help

So the confusion continues ladies... Morning btw everyone! Last night we dtd -sorry tmi for so early in morning but I had sooo much watery/EWCM even my DH commented how up for it I was (didn't want to burst his bubble, and tell him it's fertile stuff)Wink
Boobs were on fire, hot to touch too, had to hold on to them (and im only a smaller size breasts). Could not lie on them.

I don't know much about cervix stuff, but for the first time ever this month I notice how easy it was to dtd and more comfortable- I don't know if that's due to the lots of EWCM.

So I'm hoping this was ovulation for real? Secretly hoping its pregnancy symptoms? Temp is up again today to 36.48 way above coverline and higher than yesterday. Definitely not a temp on AF due date is it?? Last month was 35.10. So half of me feels I want to FRER test as AF due today but no cramps at all, the other half is saying it's impossible if you keep attempting ovulation in luteal phase so don't test and listen to the doc. ??

Not working today so I'm going to opk test today after 10am. If ovulation; I should be getting a lighter line than yesterday's positive as I've already had a few dark positive lines last few days so it should be over.. Missed my FMU today as was busting to go.

Symptoms left today are- no AF show (due today from last period), aching boobs- can't jog without holding them) and that's about it!

Morning everybody!
Happy Friday and hello long weekend!

FW is inching closer, and we've been warming up this time. Hope DH isn't bored of me by the end of next week! Think we've found a hotel for our weekend away, so hopefully the break recharges us for the home stretch!Jem you've inspired me, I'll be booking in for a relaxing massage, heaven!

Well I will have everything crossed for you!! I know what you mean, I was driving home today thinking 'uh, another 3 days of trying'! I just want to sit on the sofa and drink prosecco if I'm honest!!! I hope I get some kind of symptoms soon!!! Hmm xx

Parney · 28/04/2016 20:56

Some promising symptoms so far guys! Spotting at your dpo seems like a great sign Nimisha.. Any other signs?
Hope the weekend is full of Dtd for everyone!!
Think if I was to date it would be 4+5.

Nimisha · 28/04/2016 20:56

Summer I'm going to test on either the 1st or the second. (Probably the first if I'm not out by then). Fertility friend brought forward my ov date. I won't be too downhearted if it's a BFN and just test daily until AF. I don't have any FRERs. Just ICs and a clear blue (the standard one) .

I told DH I was testing on Monday and he didn't know there was a test day. I explained about the 2ww and he said "is that why you've not been so interested in dtd last week?" I exhausted myself on FW and I'm having a break. I didn't tell him that though.Smile

Summerblush1982 · 28/04/2016 20:38

Just looked at my screen shot I took about everyone's testing dates.

Nimisha you were testing on the 3rd, are you going to test sooner to confirm?
