Congrats on the bfp ohb!!! Very exciting having a few expecting ladies here now.

Sorry AF got you hippy but I'm thinking this bfp plate mean that the universe has finally heard you do good luck next month

Bella u have totally reminded me that I was dreaming about Jim Carey last night, so random not like I've seen him in anything recently.

I've started spotting now and feeling rough, I didn't use to get any symptoms till the day before AF (due on the 17th) but I suppose it could still go either way as every ruddy af symptom could also be a pregnancy symptom, but pre af spotting is usual for me

BellaMoon · 13/03/2017 18:01

thanks ladies... i'm hoping wee peggy egg popped out some point over the weekend as that's when we've been most active with DTD.

SMEP went out the window when DH didn't see flashing smileys last week. he's had a good talking too and realises that we can't only rely on the OPKs, we have to almost forget about them (i'm trying to take some of the pressure off so want him to disregard them while i'll keep a wee eye on them next cycle).

@Anna2006 i can't really help with AF as i was on bc for 20+ yrs so don't have alot of history to give. from the 2 cycles iv had recently, first was very light for 4 days, the last cycle was 5 days light then heavy x3 days then light again. hope that helps xx

anna mine is similar to yours but I use regular tampons all the way through and I wouldn't classify any of my days as heavy ... more like regular, regular, light, light.
I googled this earlier and dr Google said 2-7days bleeding is normal. The soup I posted a while back spinach and watercress builds blood and I've ordered another recipe book to help tTC so when it comes I'll post some more recipes up.

I'm starting to get my PMA back after two major meltdowns and a big fat cry ... and I would say that we are all different - shapes, size, weight, job, stresses, genetic make up etc .... so what's normal for one won't be normal for another .... I think as long as your ovulating, eating fairly clean, not smoking, not overdoing the caffeine, exercising a little, keeping hydrated, taking a pregnancy multivitamin with folic and zinc, and keeping calm .... oh and dtd in fw .... your doing your best xxx

bella I'm no expert in the opk department but if you want to increase ewcm take evening primrose between cd1 up to ovulation next cycle ... I'll email you a link to a good website tomorrow from my work PC if that's ok - remind me as Ive got a memory like a sieve!! Cytoplan is a good brand :)) xxx

Fx for you amanda

rainbow you back with us then on the tTC train express ?

Anna2006 · 13/03/2017 17:43

I took a few days away ladies as my PMA slipped! But you ladies give such good support then I will nip in now and then.

Bella I reckon you've ovulated tbf. There not always 100% accurate. Maybe it just missed it! Hold out hope I guess!

So question for all you ladies - how many days do you get AF for and what is your flow like? (Sorry if TMI but I want to get a broad picture of different ppl)

Before mc I was 4 days AF. And terms of flow and days tended to be Heavy, meduim, light, light

Since mc I have a 3 day AF which is H,M,L. Then 4th day spotting which I don't really count. Not enough for tampon basically.

Is a 3 day period normal anyone?! I'm slightly concerned it's quite short. But I do need the green heavy tampons on day 1 and 2. Day 1 they have to be changed quite frequently so I'm thinking that's a good thing? Maybe my body's just destined to get it over with all quickly. I've never had a cycle over 4/5 days since I started them in puberty.

Any help appreciated
Xxx

rainbowsockstoday · 13/03/2017 16:55

I got three positives at cd3,4,5 and now on a negative at day 9. But it's on the rise getting stronger again. My problem is the tests need a level of 20 or above of LH to register and last month at day 21 my levels were 79 so I think I now can't trust the tests. Are you still sticking to SMEP this month? I'd just keep it rocking till the end if I were you xx

BellaMoon · 13/03/2017 16:44

soooo this ⬇️

cd12-15 low fertility
cd16-17 high fertility
cd18 low fertility

any OPKs experts able to shed some light on this?

iv had very little of other symptoms such as EWCM, tender breasts etc.

Oh god Bella! The one good thing about trying to relax this month is that I'll save a fortune on not buying CB OPKs!!

BellaMoon · 13/03/2017 15:30

really fighting the urge to go buy more CB OPKs. Ahhh fuck it, i'm offski to Boots hahaha

Bonking your way through March sounds like a good plan regardless ...

Hi archies so glad to hear that you had a wonderful birthday weekend despite the wicked witch turning up univited and that you are now totally chilled.

I'm tempted by your approach for next month too - its sounds really good when you say it like that ... making out when you want cuz you want and binning off all the things that stress us out.

Top marks to your dh for booking a wk end away .... sounds just what the doc ordered.

I've just booked a day off in two weeks time to spend with dp as we don't get enough quality time together ... fx my eggy eggy egg joins the party 🎉

Happy Monday Ladies!

I took my birthday weekend off MN to try and relax, and it's worked. I'm feeling so chilled this morning and I'm still adamant that I'm sodding off the OPKs/SMEP/BBT/Knicker Watching this month. We're just going to DTD as and when we feel like it.

And DH has surprised me with a weekend away (toddler free!) in April, sooooo looking forward to it and taking a chance to reconnect with him because this TTC has taken its toll the last few months.

Ohb Congratulations!! So pleased for your BFP. My DS was 3 at the end of Dec, and I was worrying so much the other night about the impact a new baby will have on our relationship, and I'm not even upduffed yet!

Hippy Sorry that AF is here again. Next cycle will definitely be our month.

Rainbow So sorry to hear about your DH. Flowers for you

BellaMoon · 13/03/2017 10:35

thanks @MissMagpie did wonder why the ICs were blank. i'm going to resist buying more CB OPKs this month, think we will just bonk or way through march and see what happens. CD18 and still no peggy! rage balls

@Hippychic79 that's a sign if ever iv seen one! #itswritteninthestars #springisintheair

Aww hippy! Hugs xxx next month is yours it's written in the Reg plate!! 😘

lol Bella!! 😂😂

Thanks magpie! Although I've just posted a note as I'm starting to worry 😓 over reaction on my part but my body is head fuck these days.

Happy Monday ladies

MissMagpie · 13/03/2017 09:48

Sorry for AF showing up uninvited Hippy. But if that car reg isn't a sign that your BFP is getting closer, then I don't know what is! How spooky eh?

So I still haven't got my static smiley. Have gallons of EWCM though so hoping it's just that this prize winning egg is taking time to develop and making itself ultra-receptive to doreens (PMA, PMA, PMA).

In the meantime I am just dtd every other day according to SMEP. So if I miss the timeslot, hopefully I will be covered.

FX for you EMHW.

Bella flashing smiley means your oestrogen levels are high but not LH yet. You need the static smiley to confirm you are about to ovulate. Just keep dtd in the meantime so there are doreens ready to meet that peggy egg!

didn't waste another test

CakesALot · 13/03/2017 06:59

So frustrating @Hippychic79. Do you think it's because your ov was later? I'd be tempted to test, telling myself it's sure to be negative, just to check! I can see why you wouldn't want to though. No one needs unnecessary bfns in their life xx

Hippychic79 · 13/03/2017 06:09

Well I am officially late!
Cd31 which is my longest cycle since I started tracking last July (I started tracking before starting tTC).... the witch is obviously starting to get the message that she's not welcome here but the bfn on the frer on Saturday at 12dpo is putting me off testing again as I'm sure they're one of the most accurate results you can get!
So I am starting to get annoyed wondering where the hell shes got to!
PMA is being well and truly tested!!!
