Resipsa- check you out, dtd wed and thur and fri!!!! How old do you think you are you crazy teenagers! Very well timed
Winkle- glad the monitor hasn't peaked yet Sure it will today for hubbies home arrival, I do like the sound of that monitor
Wishful - so glad it's going well for you, how did you enjoy Thailand???
When, a cold could easily delay ov I reacon particulaly as it's only a day or so, in some ways it's good if you really don't feel like it and I know I dont when I'm ill!
Not sure when / if I'll ov as not doing sticks this month, it's a weird feeling to have no idea at all but kind of nice for a change as I've definatly thought about it less.

Thanks kitty still no ov here. I will just have to try and relax and not think about it. Very impressed with you not using opks, too much of a control freak myself to try that.

Kitty, I didn't use OPKs last month and ended up with that weird cycle, wishing I'd POAS. But...using OPKs this month and no surge yet, but OV pain. So I'm beginning go wonder if I missed the surge.

It appears to be swings and roundabouts.

I'm usually a control freak myself but I'm also thrifty and knew my ov would ve messed up so thought what's the point, I'll end up wasting money, plus last month I got a smiley at cd15 then a week later EWCM, I know that the opk was wrong now as I didn't get the faint + til cd38 so if I had gone by the opk I'd definatly have missed it, I think til my cycle is back to normal my body doesn't know what it's doing, before dd I always used to get a + cd17/19 and got pg that way but since I've started trying I've so far had one cd23 ( wtf cycle) then cd15 - NEVER had one that early and was wrong!! So this month after last
I this nightmare letting my body have a rest

I'm possibly cd20 today but as I didn't stop bleeding til 5 days ago that could be wrong lol

Fx it sorts itself out, Kitty. :-)

I got a smiley after posting. CD17. So I just demanded sex and got it. Twice!

Maybe last months's 32 day cycle will be the norm from now on? But in a way I hope for now it is, as it means no AF on my wedding day or during the honeymoon. But...my most fertile time may be when we have our Aussie wedding guest staying with us!

Envy of your smiley nic and Envy of you two shags. I am using Internet cheapies which are not great. I was in two minds over whether or not to get the clearblue ones and am kicking myself now for being so tight.

Well done nic!

I ran out of sticks for the monitor! Had to reuse one from yesterday haha! it still said high but I'll take that with a pinch of salt seeing as it had old wee on it [embarrassed].

It's ok cause we'll dtd later anyway plus I'm off on holiday tomorrow anyway so expecting lots of nice, relaxing dtd :)

NickiNockiNoodle · 02/09/2012 11:13

No, When, I don't rate cheapie OPKs either...I drink too much during the day to POAS in the afternoon and get any kind of result. The free digi sticks is my sole reason for doing the trial, to be honest. I wouldn't bother otherwise.

I was surprised by shag number 2, but H2B made it clear what he wanted, and I was happy to oblige!

And ha ha at winkle and your second hand stick! Funny. :-)

As long as you're DTD, then sod its result!

Afternoon ladies, just popping in quick to as we're off on holiday in a short while so it may be a bit quiet on the kitten front for the next couple of weeks Smile

Grin winkle on the reused stick! How did you all get involved in the cb trial? Do they do them quite regularly?

Hope you're all having lovely weekends

NickiNockiNoodle · 02/09/2012 13:24

Have a lovely holiday, Kitten :-)

It was on the CB website, as a pop up, so only worked on computers, not phones. Not sure how often they do them though.

winkle2 · 02/09/2012 15:45

I'm not on the trial, I brought it myself. I didn't get a chance to buy the sticks again today!! Argh!

I'm still gonna dtd but wanted to use the monitor so it gets to know my cycle.

Hi, af has buggered off surprisingly quickly, think I'm only cd4 or something? Dh blowing hot and cold here, one min he's looking at 3 bed houses, next min he's wondering if we can afford a third at all. This morning he said "I want to give you babies" when we were cuddling, then this afternoon said "I'm not sure we should try for another" - I'm just quietly taking my folic acid and hoping he sorts his head out, we were supposed to start trying next week. Hmm

Hope you're all ok!

Hi everyone, newbie here - can I join in? Only just started ttc. Decided to get opks to check but I'm worried I've missed ovulation this month. I'm at cycle day 15 but only started with the sticks yesterday. Tbh I don't know whether it's better if it's already happened as I'm away with work for the next 3 nights and will be annoyed if it's on Wednesday when I can't do anything about it!

Anyway that's me, just first time trying anxiety really!

Hi welcome blarg. I'm not an expert I sticks but u can test late depending on how long your cycle generally is. I'm 31 so don't need to start testing till cd14. Having said that I do find it a bit of a faff!

blargl · 02/09/2012 18:50

Ok thanks! I'm still working out the length of my cycle so it could be yet to come. I bought expensive boots opks before I discovered the cheap ones on amazon so next month I'll start early!

It seems he does, kitty...he seems to be getting into it more the longer we try! :-)

I was like that last month when I chose to not use them, so I get where you're coming from!

Gonna try for a 3rd go later! Wish me luck!
