Congratulations Third. Hope it all goes well for you.

So sorry lynsey and kskifred. Really hope it's your time soon.

After having a not fertile result on the Clear Blue OPK on Monday, I didn't do one yday but continued to get lots of Ewcm. So I did one this morning and got Peak fertility. Good job that a) we dtd yesterday and that b) I tested today so we can dtd today.
Based on my cycle length Ovia had predicted my most fertile day to be Sunday coming. I would have completely missed the boat if I hadn't also been watching my CM and doing OPKs for the first time.

Does anyone else go from not fertile to peak within two days?

Jellybabie3 · 14/12/2016 09:24

Just wondered, for those that said they felt AF cramps before BFP did you also get bloating? I feel like a killer whale today. Cramps seem to be dying down too Confused

Kskifred · 14/12/2016 08:43

Complete BFN even on clear blue with fmu.

Sooo... CD4 i guess. Onto the Jan bus when it comes.

Feeling very fed up now though.

Not sure if i posted on here before about it or another thread but does anyone have any suggestions about progesterone increases and safe solutions?

lynseyc83 · 14/12/2016 08:09

Which are the best pregnancy tests to use? That are the most sensitive?

Kskifred · 14/12/2016 08:04

Congrats Third what a lucky bus! x

ThirdThoughts · 14/12/2016 07:56

I felt the same Lynsey, I kept thinking it was wishful thinking and it was probably premenstrual twinges. But here I am!

I'm not sure I'll be able to keep the news in for a week, I'm already bursting to tell! I'll need to speak to the GP as they usually increase thyroid dose.

My first child was due in July, but born at the start of August, happy to have another summer bub. Dates should mean birthdays aren't on top of each other unless baby is earlier than my first.

Once again getting ahead of myself. Last time I was offered an early scan because with the thyroid I'm at higher risk of mmc.

Lulu298 · 14/12/2016 07:38

Congrats thirdthoughts!

We managed to open our account at the bank of semen last night. Phew! Back in the game!

lynseyc83 · 14/12/2016 07:38

Brilliant more for you third thoughts - August baby for you x X
I'm not giving up hope no signs of AF and I feel pregnant which my sound strange so early on but I feel sick and bloated

ThirdThoughts · 14/12/2016 07:26

Sorry Lynsey x that's so confusing.

I almost chickened out of testing this morning. Pretty glad I didn't, and as I saw the result start to appear on the cheap, I thought I'd confirm with a tesco one too.

I'm so excited!

Fingers crossed for this lucky bus for everyone else xx

Sorry to hear that lynsey Sad

Jellybabie3 · 14/12/2016 07:04

Morning all, thanks for your kind words yesterday. Still no AF here but still achy down there. Done my first POAS todays as cd28 Grin but it was BFN. Happy i made it to cd28 though as first proper cycle since pill. Smile goodluck all

lynseyc83 · 14/12/2016 06:57

After my very faint positive 2 days ago retested today- negative gutted don't know what to think now, I really thought I was

mrsbarnettsbaby · 13/12/2016 23:30

Well since I had coil removed my cycles have been very sporadic. 36, 67, 14 and now 16 days. Getting fed up with this. I just want to be pg one more time. I'm 42 and running out of time.

charley2016 · 13/12/2016 22:45

Flaming at my wedding, my little cousin asked where the baby was.... he was convinced that your wedding present is a baby in your tummy! If only!!! Haha

harrypotternerd · 13/12/2016 22:44

Thanks for the new thread:

Cycle #5
cd: 22
AF due 22/12
Just started using ovia but it keeps changing my fertile week. Anyone else have this problem?

FlaminFlamingo99 · 13/12/2016 22:42

My God Carlotta it's inconceivable (pardon the pun) that people just WAITED for a period! You know when I was growing up I genuinely thought that it would be simple. You find a 'nice young man' that you love and your mum/gran/best friend approve of and then you settle down. You get married and then a baby arrives just when you wanted it to. If only!
I also would like the stork theory to be true. Then we don't have to do the scary labour bit Xmas Shock.

Carlotta82248 · 13/12/2016 22:27

Oh don't worry Flamin, it's a definite squinter! As if squinter is now even a word in my vocabulary?! This whole process sends you bonkers, I'm utterly unoffended and totally open to the fact I probably need some kind of poas rehab! Imagine the days when you just waited for your period?! WinkGrin

FlaminFlamingo99 · 13/12/2016 22:24

Carlotta as everyone else seems to be able to see a line, clearly the only explanation is that my eyes must be worn out from all the months and months of staring at my own pee sticks!! Enjoy the wine, hopefully its the last alcoholic drink you'll be having for a while Grin

Carlotta82248 · 13/12/2016 21:56

Thanks girls, I'm pretty confident there is a line, mainly from much experience in staring at ones without any over the months haha. I'm totally open to the fact they're evap/too feint and that it maybe isn't my month but there has to be hope yes?! Had an utterly grim day today so having a large glass of bubbles while things are still very inconclusive xxx

Writerwannabe83 · 13/12/2016 21:48

I see the lines Carlotta - go and get a FRER!!!!

FlaminFlamingo99 · 13/12/2016 21:42

Carlotta I've squinted at the last two pics and I can't see any lines, but I really really hope it's just too early and that this is your month - I thought I saw lines on the previous tests though so Fx for you🍀

Kskifred I don't want to upset you but I think what ThirdThoughts said is right... If you did conceive your pg tests may remain positive for a few weeks even if something went wrong... I really hope it hasn't and that everything is OK. Please keep up posted and you know where we are if you need to talk. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you xx

jelly AF cramps is very common in early pregnancy, feels exactly the same so impossible to tell until you Poas and get a +tive result. Fx for you Smile

power hope you feel better soon. Flu is horrible. Or do a MrsCummings and dtd with a locket in your gob!! Grin

To everyone in TWW - stay strong and please try not to test until day AF is due if you possibly can, but if you must pee on something (hopefully a stick!) please let us know what happens!!

Those in FW - go for it girls!! Xmas Wink

Not sure what DPO (I'm a newbie!)
AF due 20/12

I've had a few symptoms, but not sure if they're PMS ones though. Tender boobs for about three days, feeling a bit nauseous here and there, have gone off of a couple of things, struggling to sleep, but am really tired.

MrsCummings · 13/12/2016 18:19

power I've just DTD with a locket in my gob trying to ignore the trickle of snot I'm sure make it out.. who said romance is dead

MrsCummings · 13/12/2016 18:18

So, Ovia is messing with me again FW was originally Sunday to this Friday, updated it with my OPK and BOOM my FW moved back to starting last Friday and finishing tomorrow....

This app is almost as much of a headf*ck as the TWW! Hmm

powerpuffer · 13/12/2016 17:39

Congratulations to all the BFPs recently, this bus seems lucky for sure, after a slow start.

I'm off work with full blown flu and I'm right in the middle of FW and feeling too unwell to do anything. Sad

I'm so upset - not only do I feel like death warmed up but I know I have no chance for this month unless I make a miraculous recovery soon.
