So after ungracefully falling off the back of the February bus iv hijacked another decorated it with fairy lights and stocked it full of cream soda and oreo biscuits.

Here hoping march brings some much needed sunshine and all the bfps!!

Setayharas ttc1 cycle4 bfp due at some point

Hello all, just fallen off the back of the Feb bus so marking my spot. This cycle was 38 days, so no idea when bfp due, hoping I ovulate this month as didn't last. Apparently ovulating helps the baby making process, but my body decided not to play Hmm.

Anyway, large bottle of wine, blue cheese and rare steak planned for this weekend, to console myself! Grin

Role on the bfp's!

MotherOfCleo · 13/02/2013 13:29

did an opk today and its negative so its def 12-24 hours from yesterday at noon, weve dtd every night since sun and will carry on till friday just incase but I guess I'm into the waiting game......im so impatient! honey i think ewcm is prior to ov so maybe you are oving late? or maybe you missed your surge?

honey86 · 13/02/2013 13:59

i havent had much ewcm really, mostly watery...
maybe missed my surge, as aint FSH normally high in the follicular phase...

welcome newbie Smile

lovesthechaos3 · 13/02/2013 14:34

Hi Ladies, Feels like ages since i've last been on. Have been so busy, this is my first af since having my copper coil removed and what a weird one its been, only one day bleeding and that wasnt even enough for a tampon and the rest has been pretty much pinky cm. Sorry for TMI, just wondering if anyone had anything similar after having the coil removed. Think it has stopped now so let the shagging commence! Hope it happens soon as my coil has to go back in April if it hasn't i am getting married april next year and don't want to be pregnant of still flabby lol x

chocoloulou33 · 13/02/2013 16:42

hi loves never had coil or anything so can't rly help u out with that one but wanted to say hi :) I got another -ve opk 2day hmmm x

Tinkerbellefairy · 13/02/2013 17:37

Hello ladies can I join? DH and I were planning on waiting to ttc till Christmas this yr but a couple of days ago hubby said lets just go for it yay! Pretty new to this and got on with DTD but not sure if its all a bit too late for this month after our sudden decision. We DTD on cd 17 and my cycles are around 35days do you think I've missed the boat this month? Wishing you all lots of luck x

navis176 · 13/02/2013 17:49

Hi tinker
Id say your bang on time to start dtd! My last two cycles have been 35 days and iv got positive opks on cd19 and 20 so I'd say your doing it around the right time! Obviously we are all different!
Do u get any ovulation signs? Cm or pains or anything that might help u pin point your fertile days! Good luck anyway!

Tinkerbellefairy · 13/02/2013 18:48

Thanks setay. Hope so have been DTD ever since in hope not too late. Well after reading up on posts on here I now think I might have that stretchy EWCM today so will def continue DTD incase. Sometimes get a bit of pain around ov but right now think I may be over analysing every little body movement and only a few days into this. Glad to see not only one with longer cycles!

chocoloulou33 · 13/02/2013 22:44

Hi navis hope your ok hun & your stay on this bus isn't as stressful xx

MotherOfCleo · 14/02/2013 09:45

heres to the positive opks choc our cycles are so similar! Got my positive opk day before yesterday.
Im so irrational, we didnt dtd last night after having crap 'we have to dtd as its ov week' sex the night before but dtd this morning instead, now I keep thinking 'what if I OVd yesterday and we dtd too late' geez it was only 7 hours later......I am so sad!!!!

chocoloulou33 · 14/02/2013 11:34

Lol cleo u aren't sad hun just ttc makes u over think everything. I haven't had a positive opk yet. Mine have been negative so far :( got a bad belly 2day which is rly not great timing is it! Got to go to work soon. Might have to do an ov test later in day when tummy settles down x

lisbapalea · 14/02/2013 11:47

Hi all - I am new to this thread but have been on a couple of the others on the Conception board.

I keep getting -ve OPK results - tested on Monday (CD8), Tuesday (CD9) and today (CD11). My cycle is only 24 days (give or take a day either side) so I would have thought I should be getting +ve results now, shouldn't I?

Am using Boots OPKs and am getting a line, but it's not darker than the control line. I also used these when I conceived DD and seem to remember being utterly confused by them then too!!

lisbapalea - TTC#2 cycle 1 af due 28Feb/1Mar

setayharas · 14/02/2013 12:45

ahhh getting the hump here! im due to ovulate in 2 days if i go buy the last few cycles and iv got a lovely amount of ewcm!

oh was on holiday last week and this week has been working away. got back yesterday already a bit late to start dtd

went home at lunch today all ready and we had a huge row haha so iv stormed back to work leaving dtd right to the last minuite

OP posts:
MotherOfCleo · 14/02/2013 13:34

choc sorry I misread your post...doh. FX you get a positive soon!

lis you normal ov 14 days prior to AF so I would expect you to OV around cd11, if you can go either way then you may ov today or tomorrow.

The surge can be short lived too, when are you testing? Is it the same time each day? My positives are very obvious, I use the asda ones £7 for 7 I think. I have tried testing at different times but find the best results from my second wee of the day, usually around 11/12ish. Do you normally have any ewcm to help you pinpoint ov? Perhaps you are going to ov late this month? Has anything happened which might delay it? Stress? New supplements? Anything can have an effect I think.

Re the line you should always have a faint test line but a positive should be noticably darker, the same colour as or darker than the control line.I would just keep testing. Sorry I can't be more help.

lisbapalea · 14/02/2013 13:43

Thanks cleo - I think I had ewcm yesterday - can't remember if that is supposed to indicate ovulation is coming, is happening or has happened? (I feel very un-clued up on these threads!).

CD11 is today, so will DTD tonight, tomorrow and the weekend. Have also DTD on Monday and Tuesday this week so I may still have some stuff still knocking around up there!

Think I have generally been using OPKs on my 2nd wee of the day, around 11ish as you suggested.

No additional stress that I can think of beyond the usual, other than my new obsession with TTC and religiously reading anything I can about baby making / ovulation!

Have felt a bit bloated for the past couple of days and a few stomach pains, but I think that might have been food related rather than anything to do with ovulation.

navis176 · 14/02/2013 17:35

lisba - I think it's quite easy to miss the LH surge - I tend to use opks around 5pm - I think the LH builds up during the day and I find that time works best for me for getting an obvious positive

QuietNinjaTardis · 14/02/2013 17:36

Have just realised there's every possibility my bfp is due beginning of march so am going to straddle this bus and the feb bus.
Quietninjatardis ttc2 cycle 9 bfp due 1st march I think.
Hi everyone

Dreamstoreality · 14/02/2013 18:31

Also using Boots ovulation strips and not getting a positive. Now on day 13 of 26 day cycle and tested on the 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 day of cycle. Always get a line in the control window but nothing in the test window.

If I don't get BFP this month will invest in the smiley face ones next month.

Springbells · 14/02/2013 20:32

Hi quiet (waves back)! Good to see you. loves how exciting, wedding to plan for. Good distraction from the 2ww!

chocoloulou33 · 14/02/2013 21:57

Hey everyone. Happy valentines day. Boo hiss that my OH had to go play darts then is at work. Have told him to wake me up in morning as we didn't barely see each other 2day so did not dtd!!! Another -ve ov test for me 2day though. Cd 14 soo annoying! X

barebranches · 15/02/2013 07:05

hi everyone just checking in been sitting quietly at the back of the bus.
entering sex week Wink now!!
Grin

deliasmithy · 15/02/2013 08:49

I'm on cd 14, using cbfm with cb sticks.
Nothing detected as yet. I also check the sticks myself and concur with the machine. On mine, when you get the 2nd line, it'd be hard to miss, though it's not as bright as first line.

The last 3 cycles began to peak for me cd17 onward so not panicking yet.

Malteaser1982 · 15/02/2013 09:50

Hello everyone Smile
CD1 here and thought it best to delurk and, if you don't mind, join you lovely ladies on this journey!
Here's a Brew or Wine (since we can still indulge) to break the ice Grin
So, to introduce myself, I'm 30 and DH is 32. We have a 2 year old daughter already and would love to have another one Hmm Shock Grin I stopped taking the pill last September and although for the past months we weren't exactly trying, we weren't not trying IFSWIM. This will be our first proper month trying (and a BFP this cycle would be due on DD's 3rd birthday, not that I am checking dates Blush )
Adding my stats to the list (as well as other posters' since the list was last updated - I hope I haven't missed anyone, if so sorry Blush )
