Fingers crossed napping !
Exciting times Oracle got my fingers crossed AF is a no show!
Keep us informed both of u

TheOracleAtSelfie · 27/08/2016 19:10

How is everyone? user did AF show up?

9dpo here, cd27. No symptoms. We're still on hols - flying back Monday night - and I have one IC PT with me so will poas on Monday morning if still no AF. Not feeling very pregnant though so I doubt it'll amount to much!

NappingRabbit · 24/08/2016 11:01

Sorry pumpkin and user.

My OPK was even stronger last night and this morning than it was this time yesterday (darker than control line). DTD last night so fingers crossed! Now to avoid obsessing for two weeks...

User11220 · 24/08/2016 08:17

Another bfn this morning so guess it's just a case of waiting for af to show up..
Onwards to next month! Good luck everyone.

Pumkinpie1 · 24/08/2016 07:27

AF finally arrived today to put me out of my misery !
Going to get some vitamin b6, n hope the CB shows me a hint that I ovulate this month

Pumkinpie1 · 23/08/2016 21:38

Welcome back 11220 ur not out yet ! You never no hold on in there till AF does arrive, n if it does like u say only 2nd cycle there is time yet
Woohoo boat ! That's brill

NappingRabbit · 23/08/2016 19:46

Great news boatrace! I never thought I'd be so excited to get AF as I was a few months ago.

We DTD last night, will try and do it again tonight to make sure we're covered.

TheOracleAtSelfie · 23/08/2016 19:09

boat woop!

TheOracleAtSelfie · 23/08/2016 19:08

user you're not out until you're out! Maybe late implantation? Keep us posted!

napping that's very exciting! Hope you make the most of it Wink

boatrace30 · 23/08/2016 18:57

Well it turns out that fully weaning was the answer. AF turned up today. Never been so pleased to see it!

User11220 · 23/08/2016 15:15

Hi. I haven't posted since my query re opk. Hope everyone is well. It was a bfn for me in July so tried again this month. Only got two flashing smilies before a solid which caught me off guard as I'd got seven flashers in June before getting a solid. Anyway I am 14dpo today. Have had a few twinges where I thought af was coming but no sign yet. Anyway curiosity got the better of me and I did a frer at lunch and no sign of a second line at all so looks like I'm out. I drank about three pints of water over morning so maybe it was too dilute but I'd expect a squinter at least at 14dpo so perhaps I'm grasping at straws. Only month two so I should be more patient!

NappingRabbit · 23/08/2016 11:06

Oops posted too soon.

How is everyone getting on?

NappingRabbit · 23/08/2016 11:05

Positive OPK this morning - my first ever! Will do another this pm to see if it gets any darker but the test line was as dark as the control this morning so I'll take that. Interested to see how long until ov cramping it is.

Pumkinpie1 · 21/08/2016 20:53

Thank you everyone I kind of expected it so not as bad as if I thought I'd had a good chance.

Hoping you get a pos soon napping
Wishing you luck oracle
see you soon jooni

Jooni · 21/08/2016 17:54

Good luck Napping and Oracle, and commiserations Pumkin. Still very little going on here unfortunately - so frustrating after I was having really positive signs a few days before expected O. I'm feeling more relaxed but I think I'm going to take a bit of time out of this thread until O has safely passed haha. The less I think about it the more likely things are to happen! Hopefully I'll check back in soon Wink

NappingRabbit · 21/08/2016 17:30

I've been doing them twice a day this month so hoping I'll catch the surge. I usually feel ovulation so it's just to confirm really and try and catch it early. We can DTD regularly but not as regularly as I might like for efficiency - prob more like twice a week rather than every other day, so just want to make sure we catch the right days.

TheOracleAtSelfie · 21/08/2016 17:24

Sorry pumkin - fx for September. Hope you enjoyed your Wine!

napping are you doing them several times a day? Seems like a PITA but I've heard of people doing like 3/4 tests a day and catching the spike that way. Though if you're able to DTD fairly regularly anyway maybe worry less about OPKs? ( easier said than done with a 16mo though! Wink)

We're on hols which is lovely. If clearblue is to be believed I'm 3dpo.

NappingRabbit · 21/08/2016 17:10

Sorry pumpkin.

CD17 and still no positive OPK but have EWCM. I've never had a positive OPK but I've always been a bit haphazard doing then so I'm trying to do them more consistently this month. Feel a bit like I'm never going to get a positive!

boatrace30 · 20/08/2016 21:20

Sorry pumpkin - enjoy that night out Wine

Pumkinpie1 · 20/08/2016 15:22

Negative test from me today Sad very painful cramps now just got to wait for AF to turn up
oh well on wards and upwards for September

Pumkinpie1 · 19/08/2016 07:45

Sorry lullaby hope it stops ! Have a good holiday
Yes jooni wine is always the answer lol.
Day 30 or 25 here really crampy expect AF to turn up any moment. Sposed to be going out tomorrow night ( first time ever since lo was born) so might get a first response today if no AF n do a quick test Saturday am to be on safe side I do t expect much tho don't think I even ovulated

Jooni · 18/08/2016 17:53

Napping and Oracle excellent commitment to the cause haha! Good luck both.

No CM or anything at all here now gaahhhh. But you're all right - I need to just forget about it and chill out. Maybe some Wine is in order.

lullaby23 · 18/08/2016 16:57

Still spotting & heavier so pretty sure it's AF making an early appearance, disappointing but at least I can drown my sorrows on this holiday! LP seems to be all over the place, oh well onto cycle 4.

My sympathies jooni I have a very jetlagged boy here who was up almost every hour last night and won't nap for more than 40 mins, it's going to be a tough few days til it passes! He's been BFing loads more than usual too which is not ideal but can't really blame him...

napping super impressed at the dedicated dawn DTD top marks for effort and oracle pleased you managed to fit one in before leaving.

boatrace hooray for the fertile signs and well done on weaning.

pumkin fingers crossed we get some more BFPs in September on this lucky thread but sounds like you're still in with a chance

Pumkinpie1 · 18/08/2016 14:08

Sorry your not sleeping, and your stressed jooni.
Good work oracle ! Hope you get your positive !
7am napping ! Now that dedication lol
Any news lullaby ?

NappingRabbit · 18/08/2016 13:41

Its easy to say but try to relax and forget about what's going on inside you Jooni. Sorry you're not sleeping.

Nothing much to report here. I got a clear line but negative OPK last night so things are going in the right direction. DTD this morning before we left for work at 7 Shock Last time we had sex that time of day I'm sure we must have been drunk and not gone to bed yet.
