CD 1 today and my last cycle was 34 days which means I'm due to test 6th April.

Anyone fancy joining me?

Are people actually planning to test on these days or try to hold off? I think i've got to... My DH will kill me if I spend any more money on tests! And I love clearblue digital, nothing else will do! Lol....

zonat92 · 22/03/2012 21:03

Im planning on doing 1 2nd, as thats when AF due. going too be hard with a few internet cheapies under my bed Blush haha! i Would LOVE to take a cb digital and have "pregnant" spelt out to me :) But will be doing cheapies untill im sure. atleast with them u can convince yourself theirs a line and hope haha :)

curiousgeorgie · 22/03/2012 21:06

I just hate all the 'is there a line? A faint line?' etc etc..
Pregnant / Not pregnant. Love it!

RightUpMyRue · 22/03/2012 21:17

I have 1 CB digi, 2 Superdrug own brands and a about 25 IC. Any early testing (you know, ridiculous early testing like 5DPO because I feel so PG) will be done on IC, I'll only use the others after AF is late.

I'll try to hold out and not test early but I aint promising anything!

Walnut8 · 23/03/2012 04:30

I guarantee I will test as soon as I have a test in the house, so am not buying any ... just yet.

Well, am a feeling a bit crap. We fell asleep last night, both exhausted, just couldn't manage swi. If I get one in tonight, do you think that will be enough or have I missed the most fertile day? (I had a positive opk on cd17 and swi on that day, missed yesterday which was cd18, fertility friend says i should still be fertile today at cd19?) ... hmmm. No more ewcm spotted yesterday or today, wonder what is going on? (still cramping though).

Hi to everyone else. I don't like the digi tests, to me it's heartbreaking when they actually say "not pregnant" Sad

Hai1988 · 23/03/2012 07:12

Hi zonat and caddie :)

Yes i think i will test on the 10th as thats waiting a bit after my período tracker says im due a vist from af on the 5th thats provided a 28day cycle.

Wasnt up for dtd at all last night, my headache turned into a mirgrain, which was not fun :(

birdofthenorth · 23/03/2012 08:30

Morning all, just catching up on everyone's updates!

Should have said when I joined this is ttc%232 not %231. DD is 19 months.

Was also pg throughout last autumn but mc'd in Nov. Been trying again since Jan but have a good feeling about April Smile I'm a bit keen to see a BFP before 10th June when my previous due date would have been, but trying to chill out & say what will be. The lovely spring weather is helping, got me in the baby dancing mood & not just with conception in mind for once Blush! Except DD has just given me a stinking cold, which might not help my libido or attractiveness to DH!

birdofthenorth · 23/03/2012 08:31

Silly % signs, on my phone! Was aiming for %23

winkle2 · 23/03/2012 08:43

Argh crashed and burned at the last hurdle. Didn't dtd last night. Went up to bed too late, didn't fancy dtd, started nonetheless, hubby ended up whacking me in the face by accident and then it all kinda went downhill from there!!

That was supposed to be our last try of the SMEP plan. The way I see it though is if I'm not up for it then I can't be fertile - surely that's natures way!!

So that was cd20 and I saw a positive opk on cd16 so I think I would have been out of my fertile period anyway - what do you think?

winkle2 · 23/03/2012 08:44

Ive been getting a few cramp like pains since possibly ov-ing on weds. DTD weds and last night just to be sure. But no increase in temp - I dont know if I have actually ov'd or if I get funny results due to clomid. But I am quite constipated (yes I know TMI) and I was when I was pg with DD. I used to sit on the old "throne" or a good half an hour usually. It would be very embarrassing when someone would come round to ours, but I wasnt getting off til it happened.

Hi to caddie and zonat. I had a mmc, found out at 12 wk scan plus trauma of medical management not working twice then ERPC. So I feel for you Caddie. But they say your more fertile after a mc.
Fingers crossed for everyone.

curiousgeorgie · 23/03/2012 10:14

I try not to worry about ov sticks and temp etc... (and am not doing them anymore! I never once got a positive ov stick, and my temp never peaked or dipped or anything... I can't tell the difference between types of cm and it all just adds up to a big ball of stress for me..

I'm hoping that the lack of stress will help me!

So far have managed to swi everyday this month bar 2! (Running out of enticing things to say to DH ;)

I just don't know how long to carry on for... it's so frustrating. I'll try for another week and see what happens I suppose.

It's a lovely sunny day! I'm going to take DD to the park... hope everyone has lovely days!

winkle2 · 23/03/2012 10:19

wow curiousgeorgie - good effort!

RightUpMyRue · 23/03/2012 10:37

Morning all,

Birthday bonk acheived. OPK line was getting darker too and there's definite rumblings/cramps in the right area so I'm expecting to OV today or tomorrow.

We're going to stay with DP's family for the night on Saturday so I'm not sure if we'll mange to DTD then as the walls are a bit thin! Blush Might have to do it tonight again instead and then the dreaded 2WW will commence.

Walnut were you up at 4.30am? I'm hoping that was because you were on a night shift?!

Hai have you heard of sumatriptan? Comercial name imigran recovery. It's been life changing for my migraines. I really recommend it. Speak to your GP.

winkle I would say you're no longer fertile for this cycle. If you saw a surge on CD16 we can guess you OVed by CD17 and an egg only really lasts 12-36 hours so by CD19 you were past the fertile window. If there's no more EWCM or at least wet CM then I think you can assume it's happened. Can't hurt to keep on SWI though!

Sorry to hear about your erm...trouble RIBS. Hopefully it's for the right reason and not just because you need more fibre! Grin

Goodness georgie you're an animal! Wink

RIBS · 23/03/2012 11:00

Sterling effort curious The old lady bits could probably do with a good old rest.
Prior to clomid and having pco's, my cycle could be anything upto 90 some days so I had to start using the ov sticks. The first month I used them I got my BFP so I think it gives me a better chance.

Glad you got your bday bonk rightup
I bet i got the fastest quickie ever last night. Im sorry for TMI but it went in and that was it! Not even in out in - just in!!!!! Was it wrong that I said FFS and laughed at him! He just said, well ive got mine baby! Grin

To be fair I was tired and a bit grateful!

Walnut8 · 23/03/2012 11:09

"a bit grateful" ... i love it ribs

I feel a bit better, was reading that your best chance of conception is if you dtd within 24 hours of positive ov, which we did .... will def go again tonight, but feeling better about missing yesterday.

Different time zone right, not as early as that for me!!

winkle you really made me laugh ... I would imagine that would send the whole thing a bit "downhill"

RIBS · 23/03/2012 11:31

What a pair me and winkle make - she's been assulted and ive had sex faster than a speeding bullitt!

Its a dangerous and tricky business.

RightUpMyRue · 23/03/2012 11:43

Well, what woman doesn't love being hit in the chops and then being left wholly unsatisfied? Phwoar !!

Confused
MildredH · 23/03/2012 13:34

Thank god I'm not the only one to be secretly a little relieved when it's over once we're up to bonk number 4 or 5! Wink

Hai1988 · 23/03/2012 14:12

Thanks for the migrain advice right
Thing is i dont suffer from them at all so last night was tottally werid, feeling a bit sicky today now, dunno whats going on with my body

RightUpMyRue · 23/03/2012 14:30

Maybe you're PG.......Smile

curiousgeorgie · 23/03/2012 15:05

Maybe you are pregnant!! Could you have your dates wrong?

A bit sicky and a headache were my first symptoms during the 2ww...?

Hai1988 · 23/03/2012 15:43

Dunno? I have no idea about my dates as jyst come off pill, so its all rough guess work atm.

Did a a test 3 weeks back and was bfn, but ma6 of been to early i dunno, didnt think u could get symtoms this early?

winkle2 · 23/03/2012 15:45

I like this thread, its very truthful!
