Yes. Had some blood tests early dec but moved house so didn't get results. And been really busy at work since and marathon training too. Will ask at reception when I'm there a week on Tuesday.

@mrsbarnettsbaby have you mentioned to doctors/nurses before about your long cycles? sorry if you've already talked about this.

@SalemTheTeenageWitch i've for everything (apart from my legs) crossed that your BFP shows tomorrow with your FMU

@Rainbowsockstoday i think they're probably just the same with accuracy but a lot easier to read IMHO. x

So are the clear blue more reliable or just easier to read?

Good idea Mrsb. The Nurse will be able to tell if there is an issue, or at least give you some insight.

My boobs are still sore, I am spotty, snuffy nose and I can sometimes feel cramping. Nothing to report on #knickerwatch as of yet. Please please stay away AF!!!!!!

@rainbow. Yes believe the OPK sticks can have faint second line on them your whole cycle. We always have some LH in our system. But only a bold positive when it spikes.

Last month when my OPKs and LH went crazy and off on a tangent. I continued to test after my two bold positives as I wasn't sure I had released an egg. I had because my period ended up coming on time but between my bold and period I continued to get faint lines some day and other days blank. So shows it normal xx

Ahhhh ok. I was given them by a friend so don't know where they came from. She conceived in two months so had loads left 😆

@Rainbowsockstoday Internet Cheapie - just a way of describing the wee strips as opposed to the Clear Blue Ovulation Predictor Kits or alternative brands. iv only used the CB digital that gives a wee smiley face rather than a line xx

Hey up. We love Belton House! Esp the adventure playground. We go lots every year. I am now cd82 according to ovia. It keeps telling me my period is due soon! I hope not. I'm having my smear a week on Tuesday. I think I will ask the nurse what's going on while I'm there. I don't see how it can be the running as I'm not skinny! I think it must be my age. My dp is not helpful as he just says "don't bother testing, you'll know sooner or later if you are pg". Seriously!!!??? Dp just gone back up north for work so feeling sorry for myself too. Oh well it'll soon be Friday. FX for us all.

What does IC mean? I'm soooo awful at this 🤣

*havent sorry

@Rainbowsockstoday i have used the IC OPKs before but i have googled the images and i think you're doing the right thing by doing one everyday from cd1 to track your results right through your cycle. that way you'll know for sure when you peak as i do believe they can have 2 lines (on very faint) from early on x

Aww thanks for the lovely welcome girls!!!!

I fell a bit nauseated today and like a bit all over the place prob not pregnancy symptoms so soon though AF due 13th March. My mums anniversary is 11th march so have this horrible feeling of AF appearing especially this month 😭😭

salem thanks for doing everyone's stats, it'seems really nice to see everyone is together on the same bus!

Charley sorry about your bfn. Hopefully it's just a bit early.

So the rain put my plans for a nice walk out the window. Just been to the gym and did a balance class and had a lovely soak in the jacuzzi whilst I still can. I really don't want Monday to come but it's creeping up on me!

Sorry me again. I did an opk today as a practice and so I have a full month and can see if there's a trend. Does it always have two lines on it? One really faint and one strong? I'm on CD1 and this is today's...

Salem I'm 10dpo today and of course just used my FRER haven't drunk much and held my wee for 4 hours but still got bfn. Are you trying to hold out for tomorrow?

No no Salem!!! Leave it until next week's list!!! Xx

Thank you Salem. What bad things have you heard about agnus castus? A girl in my bf group on Facebook said it's really good and there was a few people agree. Worried now as I was going to give it a crack this month 😬

1. Hippy can answer that one, she is good with her scientific knowledge (especially pineapples).
2. Not sure. See above response!
3. Start around CD9/10 until you get a positive. I use both cheapies and Clear Blue Dual Hormone Digital tests. I would recommend both.
4. Every other day. Follow the Sperm Meets Egg Plan which is; starting from CD8, dtd every other day until your positive OPK. Once your OPK is positive, dtd every day for 3 days, miss a day and do one more for luck. I have never left my pee for 20 mins to cool, I would not have the patience!!
5. Not sure, but I have heard that congestion medicine drys CM up. I have heard people recommend using 'Pre-Seed' to support CM/conception as it mimics EWCM.
6. I have not heard very good things about Agnus Castus.

I have many questions... if people could answer I'd be soooooo grateful.

1: pineapple - does this really work? If so how much a day do you think? A litre bottle is six pineapples juiced so maybe 250ml a day or do we think more?

2: kiwi- one a day or two?

3: opk tests - when do people do them? I read online you have to do them in the afternoon but leave your sample for at least 20mins before dipping because it works at room temp and not body temp.

4: DTD - every day or every other day?

5: red clover - worth it to increase CM?

6: agnus castus - worth it for regulating hormones?

Should've said, the twinges are most likely to be ligaments pulling and stretching readying your womb for growth 😍 and dolly don't worry about a lack of symptoms,you may be one of those lucky women that breeze through pregnancy without throwing up once ! They do exist!

Charley How many DPO are you?! I thought that yesterday at 9DPO, but was wrong! My thinking was that I could always buy more poas ... I am still tempted to test now!

Yes moo see the doctor as soon as you like. You'll probably get your booking in appointment when you're about 8 weeks so worth getting in there early. Twinges and cramps mega normal, like rainbow said. As is spotting which is worrying,and still let the doctor know, but it's probably fine. Like I think I've said before, I had three substantial bleeds when preggers with DD and all was fine!! Did get an early scan though which was nice!

salem that's a toughy!! I'm a bit restricted to the midlands as haven't been to too many too far from home but I love belton house for it's amazing grounds and hardwick hall for its oldness-big fan of Tudor history! Little Morton hall is pretty fab too. And Calke abbey as its full of random stuff that was left when NT inherited (no I'm not on commission!)

I haven't peed on anything for a couple of days, keep drinking too much and messing up timings to do opks, useless!! Sticking to the dtd every other plan though and hoping for the best. You guys need to keep up the poas-ing on my behalf though!! Those frer drive you bonkers don't they?!

Eek I'm with you Salem! Slyly bought a FRER today and accidental picked up a single instead of a double pack. I'm not due until tue/wed but I w just read the leaflet and it says 99% accurate up to 4 days before so I'm tempted.,. Plus dh is home so would be much nicer! He wants be to just wait for af as he think I'll get upset, but I always do anyway. Feel like I'm setting myself up for another fall regardless. Thanks for the list too!

Dolly and Moo excited to hear about your pregnancy symptoms when they start! Has it sunk in any yet?

cakes Which has been your most favourite NT place to visit?
Eeeeew, so sorry sarah, would you like me to repost it for you?
Dolly 12DPO is a fine time to test, isn't it?!
Moo It is as if the FRER is calling to me! RIDICULOUS!!

Moo 1. Do it asap for a booking in appointment with a midwife. 2. Slight twinges and pulling feelings are perfectly normal as the baby is still attached to you in the lining of the womb so they tend to keep on till the cord starts. Bleeding is sometimes normal but if it's only a tiny few spots.
