Well the witch has caught up with me at last. So I have decided its time to start a new thread as I think our christmas reindeer need a rest.
So step aboard ladies and join me for a hunt for the golden egg.

I've moved myself because I ovulated early this month. Lying in bed after an almost sleepless night, agonising over whether to test. My BBT is still elevated, but I've had no symptoms.

Crazytictac · 16/06/2012 07:34

Blindly harpie you really must have had a sleepless night judging by the time you posted bless you.

Did you test? Keeping everything crossed for you.

Leftwingharpie · 16/06/2012 07:57

Hi Crazy! As a compromise I poa OV stick (Grin) which was negative of course!

By the way, my Persona monitor went from low to peak overnight this month. Is that what happened to you?

blackcatsdancing · 16/06/2012 08:13

ooh wondered why my name was in bold when i read the post! Thanks pipbin.

I keep looking at my positive test stick!! As it was so faint after i saw the line i held it upside down and from the other way round to make sure i wasn't imagining it- i know exactly where it goes so its easy to see or think you see something but turning it round makes it look different/unusual so you can be more certain it is a line and not your imagination.

Feeling tired, slightly sick and very restless at night (which may explain first two symptoms) , and boobs were tingling last night which i never get before a period so hormones seem to be doing something very early on. I didn't take my temp this morning, didn't want to know if there was a drop in temp. I'll retest tomorrow/Monday and if all is well just stop with the BBT permanently or it will drive me mad.

I'm at work today , hope its not too busy . Hope everyone has a good weekend and anyone due to test has good luck.

Purpledragon · 16/06/2012 08:38

Hi Blackcats yes you should def quit the temping, as I'm sure you know it's not helpful once confirmed pg and can be really stressful. Good luck.

lastboxoftampons · 16/06/2012 09:03

Congratulations blackcat!!!! :) Well done. You sound properly knocked up, I woul try not to fret Grin

Wow, lots of us seem to have ov'd on the same day this month! Weird! I'm already considering myself out this month given the spotting and horrible pms feelings :( frustrating and depressing to be out before you even start. I had a look and I had had spotting for the two cycles before this last one. I can't get this thought out of my head that I might've had a cp last month and I kind of wished I had tested. Oh well.

Fingers crossed for you Harpie!

Wiggy29 · 16/06/2012 10:36

Haven't got time to fully reply but just want to say huge congrat's blackcats, that's fantastic news.

Leftwingharpie · 16/06/2012 10:43

Congratulations blackcats on your BFP. I would be constantly staring at it as well in your position! You have 9 months to get used to the idea!

Lastboxoftampons sorry to hear you think you're out this month. I think I'm out as well I tested with an Asda brand stick just now and there wasn't even a line in my most imaginative imagination. Bother!

Pipbin · 16/06/2012 15:32

Finally got a positive OPK this morning. But I also had a jump in temp. Who knows what's happening.

Mmm, still on the low side though, right? My guess is in the next day or two?

Crazytictac · 16/06/2012 17:38

leftwingharpie ah rubbish about the test result :(. Have some Thanks. Still early days but obv don't want to get your hopes up. Yes, exactly same thing happened to me, low to peak overnight. Really odd.

Pipbin · 16/06/2012 18:32

That's my thinking Purple the last week's temps have been low. Todays just bring me back up to the normal level really.

Treats · 16/06/2012 19:31

Hooray blackcats - that's such fantastic news - I'm really pleased for you. Thanks for sharing the secrets of your vitamin regime - I shall be adding all of those to my current list. Do you know what your due date is? You're so right about taking it one day at a time

This is a lucky thread. Who's going to be next????

Pipbin - agree with Purpledragon - I don't think today's is a post-ov temp based on previous temps. I often have a very low temp about 48 hours before ov so maybe that's what's happened to you?

Sorry for the BFN leftwing - how many DPO are you?

Sorry you're feeling rubbish lbot - isn't it too soon to rule yourself out?

Leftwingharpie · 16/06/2012 20:44

Wow Pipbin I hope you don't mind such a personal question from a complete stranger but did you always get such a lot of EWCM or is it just since you started on the evening primrose?

Thanks for the Thanks, Crazy. I feel a lot better having tested that agonising over whether to test. I feel like I can put it out of my head a little bit now until tomorrow!

Treats I am 11dpo, so I guess there's still time for a reversal of fortunes. You're not far behind me are you? Any symptoms today?

Pipbin · 16/06/2012 23:24

TMI ALERT

Leftwing Don't mind the question at all. I've always had a lot of EWCM. Before I was TTCing I didn't know what it was but as soon as I read about it I thought 'oh yeah, I get that'.
That said, early on in my cycle it is a tiny amount, a fingernailfull, if you excuse the expression. By the time it gets to nearly O day though I get gallons of it.
TMI TMI TMI You know when you crack an egg and there is that bit of egg white that hangs onto the egg shell? That, it's that much.
I have noticed that I have had more since taking EPO though.

Ah damnit. AF arrived this morning, only 4 days later than expected!
Luckily didn't get round to buying a test yesterday so saved a few ££'s.
Officially cd1- here's to a March baby Wine

Pipbin · 17/06/2012 12:39

4 days late. She is getting tardy these days isn't she.
Sorry she turned up Dilly.

My temp was low again this morning. Poor old DH really wasn't up for it last night but still did what a man has to do.

Wiggy29 · 17/06/2012 17:54

HOLY PANTS BATMAN, IN A STRANGE TURN OF EVENTS I GOT A BFP THIS AFTERNOON! [GRIN] Can't believe it, especially after I was so accepting of BFN on Thursday. Had all the classic signs of AF (spotty, moody, hot at night, lots of cm, greasy hair, couldn't stop eating junk etc) and then randomly they had all vanished by this morning. Realised today was day 36 and the latest day AF had arrived since coming off pill. Did a 'casual' test (as once I realised this and noticed disappearance of pre-AF symptoms I knew I'd obsess about it), couldn't believe it when there was a second line, threw it in bin and then ran to tell DP... then ran back to get it out of bin when I realised I might not have read it properly! But no, read it correctly and it's right. On Father's Day too! Smile

LimeLeafLizard · 17/06/2012 18:05

Wiggy!! Congratulations, that is wonderful! So glad I checked in to see how everyone is. On Father's Day as well, as was being discussed! Have you calculated your due date yet?!

Dilly so sorry to hear about AF, 4 days late is a real bummer. At least you didn't pee on a £5 and can now spend it on Wine.

Pipbin give your DH a pat on the back, he is soldiering on! Grin

Wiggy29 · 17/06/2012 18:12

Thank you Lime. I'm not sure of dd as I ovulated on 3rd but (annoyingly) deleted the date of my last period off the notepad section of my phone where I kept all ttc info. Can I work it out from ov date? May have to hunt back through these threads and see if I mentioned it.

Dilly- how cruel and frustrating when you were so late. FX for this month and hope you're not feeling too down.

Leftwing- perhaps there is time yet? I tested at 11 days past ov and got a BFN. I think it depends on your usual cycle length (though I may be wrong)

Still all feels a bit surreal here, it's all I can think about but need to try and focus my brain as I have an application to do for promotion and a pile of marking to attack. Would love to just relax and digest it tonight but if I do it'll make life horribly stressful later in the week when it all piles up.

Leftwingharpie · 17/06/2012 18:16

Wiggy there was indeed time - I got a BFP this morning on an Asda's own, and then another on a FR this afternoon! Tentatively excited! Congratulations on yours and hopefully see you on the February antenatal thread! Grin Grin Grin

Wiggy29 · 17/06/2012 18:22

Oh wowza Leftwing! What a lucky thread this is! So excited! Does this mean we're due end of Feb?

Leftwingharpie · 17/06/2012 18:25

I guess we have to wait for our - gulp! - scans to be sure of our dates, but Fertility Friend predicts my due date as 26 February.
