Hi MrsEi am very well - trying not to obsess too much as I fear that is what delayed ov last cycle. Just taking temps and playing with FF ! Only CD3 so a bit boring.
DG good to hear digibean is doing well, have a great trip !
JB is it sad that am looking forward to TEW leaving so can start inputting CM info into FF too ? oh dear this ttc business has made me take leave of my senses ! I used to be party-girl, now I'm a right saddo
Hi Bucky how are you missus ? drinking gallons of water I hope
glasto I agree with JB, wait as long as you can before testing as BFN is just such a bummer. I can relate to your impatience though

Bucky2008 · 25/01/2008 15:29

Bye dg have a fab time. Relax and take it easy.

Hugs, Bucky x

hi ladies!

FP only 5% of pregnant ladies get a BFP on 8dpo...pretend it never happened

MrsEi sounds like ov-pain to me. some women can get it a day or two before ov though, so keep bd'ing!

Fruitloop having just had a little scare myself, doc sent me off for another scan this morning. The sonographer couldn't see much from an external (heart-stopping moment) so she did an internal - which is what you'll be having...and they got a much clearer view of the little bean (thank god!). Was a lot less uncomfortable than a smear test, so don't worry. Weird thing is, they put a condom on it and then blob loads of KY on it. If there's anything to see, they will see it, if you have the willpower you could always save yourself the cost of a test and just wait to see what happens on Monday.

Bucky not to worry about last week . be lovely to catch up next month though!

Right, am signing off for now...hope to see some BFPs when I get back!

hi JB DH is insisting on making sure we have BDed enough this cycle as we were a bit lazy last cycle although we BD at the suspected 'right' time we didnt do any extras around then to make doubly sure we could catch the egg iyswim he is keeping tabs and reminding me that it is THE night every other night!! at least he is taking an interest...he thought i was goin a bit far by buying a load of ebay cheapies but i just think that it makes perfect sense to spend £6 instead of £40 or so as i have been doin

mrsei25 I'd keep BD'ing for a few more days just in case your EWCM is hiding! If I had not been temping and just going on my CM I would have swore I'd have ov about three times this cycle . Jump on your DH/DP once more Your DD sounds v cute and sociable!

mibbes HCB! I agree, you do feel you are doing something when temping. You will have a good idea of what your after ov temps were be from your last cycle which will help you. I do hope my eggs gone! If not my body will surely give up trying soon and give me an AF anyway!

Glasto If you hold out whilst Monday then you'd be 10DPO which is still v early to test mrse125 quoted the stats before. You might get a BFN and be crushingly disappointed but then get a BFP a few days later . It is really hard not to test though.

Hi MrsEi - could well be the egg popping out as some ladies can actually feel it, if CM has dried up then that is a sign that is has definitely happened

MrsEi25 · 25/01/2008 12:11

hi ladies

FP it does sound like you have tested a bit early and also there is only somethin like a 50% chance of the result being accurate 4 days before AF is due so it would be alot lower when you are 8DPO i would give it a few days and then test again then
how is everyone today?? i took DD to a mum and toddler group this mornin and it was really good DD was over the moon playin with the other kids
hope everyone else is ok
just a quick question for you lovely ladies... i had a pinching/stabbing kind of pain for about 5 mins last night. it was quite low down and to the right. i was jus thinkin could this be Ov?? i have had EWCM for a few days and nothing today... i have been tryin to pay more attention to my cycle so what dya think??...

FP, sorry about your BFN. I've been sorely tempted to test. I'm just getting so impatient. I've been having odd twinges that feel like mild AF symptoms, but according to my cycles AF isn't due until the 30th. Am 6DPO today and was thinking about testing at the weekend with my ebay cheapies, but I'm also too scared [wimp emoticon].

Fertility friend assumed I should OV on CD13 based on my cycle length, and forecasted AF on the 30th, as I did, but as soon as I put in my positive on my OPK as CD16 it decided I OV'd on CD17 and AF would not be due until the 3rd! I know that's not right for me with 27 day cycles.

Still, not long to go until I will know one way or another. Just need to stop worrying my luteal phase isn't long enough

Breathe, Glasto, breathe!

mibbes · 25/01/2008 11:47

FP sorry BFN but you were definitely too quick off the mark with the HPT ! Hope the ebay cheapies come soon
HCB JollyBear, sounds like promising ov signs for you, how are you finding FF ? My temp was 36.3 today so seems normal for CD3. am quite excited having FF to take away the boredom of early cycle days - I'm sure I'll get bored soon though !

JollyBear · 25/01/2008 10:59

Morning

FL I'd do a test before your scan just in case and also tell the sonographer (sp?) that you are TTC. As someone else said, these scans are done in v early preg sometimes so if they do find a bean (fingers crossed!) it shouldn't disturb it. Hope it goes well and isn't too uncomfortable.

FP Sorry to hear of your BFN. 8DPO is v early to test though, it may even be unheard of to get a BFP on 8DPO!! Hope it is good news when you test again in a few days

I'm a big fan of the limited edition chocolate cookies Hagean Das. Oh my it's good!

My temp went down yest, I had some EWCM and rose quite a lot today - so I'm hoping I ov yest. I've thought this before though!

[waves frantically to everyone!!]

FurtivelyPosting · 25/01/2008 09:28

morning all! i've been really silly and tested. shouldn't have bothered - bfn. i'm only 8dpo so i shouldn't have wasted the test (it was a clearblue one as well; the ebay ones haven't even been posted yet) that'll teach me. i'm going to leave for at least another 4 days before i test again (if i even need to)

mmmmmm yummy skinny cows are really yummy...it kind of defeats the object of the lower calories though when you get carried away and eat the lot (well i do anyway) half the calories mean you can eat twice as much...or so says the fat fighters in little britain anyway...

I've done my bit I've spent 45 minutes on the treadmill.

CD11 for me and got another sign that I am due to OV on Persona this morning, I thought I was only supposed to get that on one day but hey ho I got it two days so we will just keep bd'ing in the hope we catch the egg. Mind you DH isn't in a good mood tonight so I may have to butter him up with a massage to get him in the mood.
