I upped mine to 3 because morning and evening wasn't catching it. I'd happily do 4 times a day if I thought I'd catch my surge.

@Aph413 my clearblue came woohoo im really too excited about this lol thats a gd sign, my temps seem to be a bit more stable past couple of days since ive been doing them at the same time and the same way. But i ll do my clearblue tonite fx its a positive ive been testing twice a day do u think i should up it to 3 lol

Here's my ovusense chart. I've still been plugging my data into fertility friend and it seems to think my temperature is nice and stable and is like 37% of pregnancy charts which is surely a good sign.

Hopefully the clear blues turn up soon. Are you still doing twice a day or have you upped it to 3?

Just once. I'm incredibly lucky my best friend lives there, it meant I only paid my flight out. I had the most amazing time and did a fair few of the tourist attractions too. My next visits are just to visit for a short break and then the following trip has been planned a lot longer so my husband can go too.
You should definitely book a weekend away if you can. We all deserve a break.

@Aph413 yh i need to get a new passport sorted lol i think i ll look into even a wkend away with OH would do us gd..oh im jealous new york looks amazing have u been before?

@thisis just do it and treat yourself so you've still got something to look forward to. I'm going to New York to visit a friend twice. Itll be a month either side of what will be my due date if I catch this cycle, can't really express how much I want to be able to cancel these visits.
On the other hand though these trips are an amazing opportunity to see a much missed friend and I'm really looking forward to them if nothing else.
I'm just going to keep it tucked away and try not to think about the outfit too much, it's already been there 7 months so a few more won't hurt it.
Yep I'm 8dpo now, I wish I had been temping at the same time to confirm my opks but I can't do anything about it now.

thisisouryr I'm still booking things on the basis I'm happy to cancel them if needed. Can't put my life on hold. I do however have a tiny baby gro set hidden away in the far depths of my wardrobe because it was on sale and I thought I had got my BFP on my first cycle. It was a false positive though.Its stupid to have around and a reminder of no BFP yet. Can't get rid of it though because its personalised.

@Aph413 Ur only human ive been doing the same the past couple of cycles i just have it in my head it has to happen this yr im soo fed up of putting everything on hold

OP posts:
Aph413 · 29/04/2018 15:50

Don't worry I will be. Trying not to worry that the sore boobs are dying down and I'm getting more twinges of cramps. I'm not due on til Saturday.
If nothing else I'll have a whole cycle of using my ovusense to actually give me better proof of ovulation rather than just a positive opk.
Feeling a bit ridiculous how invested in this cycle being the one I've got. I know it's just my hormones being delightful but I'm all over the place.

I think I see what you mean! Give it a few days and fingers crossed it'll be a nice strong line.
Speaking of lines this crazy woman took at test today at 8dpo. Of course its negative. Hasn't stopped me squinting at it convinced I can see something Blush

Coconutty89 · 29/04/2018 08:33

Lets see coconutty I love a good line check

Coconutty89 · 28/04/2018 21:31

hope everyone's okay!

I thought I had a period last Friday through to Monday (would've been cd69!)
started soy cd3 to cd7.
I tested today because i had a hunch (prego test) and I'm sure I can see a line. now I'm worried that if It wasn't a real period and I've taken soy I could've done some damage!

anyone care to lend me their eyes?
