Good good, yeah that's amazing when you think of how long you were on the pill - you hear some stories that it can take so long to get back to normal! You are one of the lucky ones in that sense! Third time lucky Wink

Oh that's cool. Either way it will be a honeymoon baby. I really wanted a honeymoon baby (still feel on honeymoon though lol). I don't believe it will take you that long anyway because you still have 3 more cycles until the wedding!

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 07:31

I am deffinately paying Superdrug a visit this lunchtime...nobody try and stop me Grin

NicolaHazel · 16/07/2012 07:33

Just going to let nature take its course...no OPKs this month. I will be using Conceive Plus though. May as well go for a different method each month!

Definitely going to relax though...far too bloody early to get wound up about it!

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 07:35

You say that now Grin I shall remind you of that next week lol

NicolaHazel · 16/07/2012 07:35

Go for it, Newbie! :-)

NicolaHazel · 16/07/2012 07:36

I have no OPKs and won't be buying any.

As for relaxing...I can only try!

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 07:39

What happens when CB turns up...it might tempt you :)

LisaC2611 · 16/07/2012 07:57

Morning all

nicola sorry you got a bfn Sad

My body is playing silly buggers, I've had some wicked af cramps but no bleed so far! This has been happening since last Thursday. Reckon full af is coming tomorrow now, if it doesn't I'm gonna test again wed morning, this is doing my head in

NicolaHazel · 16/07/2012 08:21

I think my paperwork went missing on the way back, so CB won't be happening. We don't have the fridge space for it anyway :-/

That doesn't sound good, Lisa :-(

DulcetMoans · 16/07/2012 08:43

News everyone........ BFN! haha. I am going to try and wait until Thursday now as I think AF is due around then.

Sorry about AF nicola but at least you don't have to spend a long time not knowing whats going on. She's arrived promptly for you! And no AF on honeymoon has to be a bonus!

Does that mean a newbie test tomorrow then?? Keep us all on our toes.

Sorry your body is working against you lisa. Hopefully it resolves itself soon, with a BFP too! Were you testing this week now too?

LisaC2611 · 16/07/2012 09:00

No dulcet I tested last week and got a bfn but nothing happened really since, (tmi alert) had a bit of coloured discharge but no full bleed although had some cramping yesterday morning which woke me up Sad just wish something would happen so I know what's going on

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 09:34

Dulcet yes, I will be testing in the morning. I'm just going to do it so I can get on with DtD EOD this week. Today I have sore boobs, heartburn and oily skin and an unusually hard stomach. I guess these could be my symptoms leading up to ovulation but that is odd as I've not heard of anyone else suggest lead up to ovulation symptoms...I may have missed that! I wish I could be more relaxed about this but without AF showing up I'm still in the unknown. I could just be ovulating early!

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 09:40

Which test shall I get? Superdrug with lines, Superdrug digital or cb digital?

NicolaHazel · 16/07/2012 10:00

Superdrug with lines!

DulcetMoans · 16/07/2012 10:02

Then the digi's once the line is there!!

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 10:06

Okey dokey :)

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 12:04

OK ovulation signs are similar to pregnant signs eg. Sore boobs, heightened sense of smell, nausea, dizziness, hot flashes, sweats. Seriously why do our hormones produce the same symptoms for every result...OV, AF & BFP! No wonder we're going stir crazy!

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 12:07

Is the bloating linked with the lining of my uterus? Who knows! Should I still get a test or shall I except that I'm nearly ovulating and believe it?

DulcetMoans · 16/07/2012 12:12

Have you been doing ov sticks? What do they say? I would be for testing to put your mind at ease if nothing else. You don't want to spend the rest of the week analysing your body and still not knowing what is going on.

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 12:20

Dulcet I'm using the clear blue monitor. This morning it has changed from low to high fertility. If its correct then I'm in my high fertility days leading up to OV. I'm just a bit surprised as today is CD8...didn't expect it to change until Wednesday (as I was expecting to OV on Sunday) but I guess anything could be happening. I really really need to chill!

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 12:24

Oh I really am being ridiculous. Just read this on Clear Blue website which means its totally normally I should see high fertility if I was expecting OV on Sunday 'The Clearblue Fertility Monitor typically identifies up to 6 fertile days ? it not only shows you your 2 Peak Fertility days, it can also inform most women of an extra 1-5 days of High Fertility prior to their Peak Fertility. Since your partner?s sperm can survive in your body for several days, having sex on all of these days can lead to conception'

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 14:05

Ok I brought First Response. Only option other then digital. I will test when I get home tonight...no point waiting till the morning!

DulcetMoans · 16/07/2012 14:16

If you can, I would wait until the morning newbie, just for your reassurance again. If it's BFN you might wonder if it was different in the morning and you won't be reassured!

Found myself in superdrug at lunchtime, staring longingly at the first response/Superdrug own tests. I just about managed to resist but it was touch and go!

Newbie2 · 16/07/2012 14:28

Hmmm I'm not sure I can wait. Surely if it is a BFP then by now there will be enough hormone stuff to make it so! It's not though...I think I'm just loosing the plot and OVing instead!
