Well I am dusting down the drivers seat and kick starting the April bus for those the BFP fairy missed on the lucky Mad March bus. Fingers crossed the destination for this one is 'Baby Central'.

Padster - sorry to hear. Fingers crossed for the best birthday present.

Weird taste thing going on here, couldn't stand the taste of crisps I normally love (but, to frustrate me, they do have a sticker on them saying 'new recipe'!) and cake tasted seriously weird this afternoon.

Love the fact pms and preg symptoms so similar, someone's idea of a good joke...... Going to test in the morning if bbt goes up again (well, and no af, obviously). Posting this should sort that!) Hmm

Sorry to see you go padster & Deliah
Good luck and hope too see you both get those bfps in the near future.

lyndsey90 · 04/04/2013 19:14

I caved and tested this morning. I uploaded a pic, looks like a evap line. Boo!! I think IC's are a bit rubbish really lol

pumpkinsweetie · 04/04/2013 19:33

Oooh lyndsey, don't wanna get your hopes up but that pic looks very promising. If you looked at it in the right time frame, its most probably a bfp Smile
The pink dye tests are better than the blue for evaporation lines.
Fx for you, take another test for reassurance x

TobyLerone · 04/04/2013 19:38

Looks like a line to me if you took the pic within the time frame allowed :)

lyndsey90 · 04/04/2013 19:38

I'm gonna test in the morning me thinks! I have lots of IC's so I might as well. Keep getting twingey aches. Maybe af getting ready to bless me LOL :)

PistachioTruffle · 04/04/2013 19:47

lyndsey, that looks like a line to me too!

Bajas · 04/04/2013 20:04

Lyndsey- looks good to me too.

After being convinced Af was on her way this morning there's still no sign so back to keeping fingers crossed. Only day 25 so a test tomorrow prob won't show much. I wish she would hurry up and come if she's coming!

marie456 · 04/04/2013 20:48

Sorry to padster and delia. Hope May is the month for you.
Lyndsey that def looks like a bfp to me!!

WanabeMum · 04/04/2013 20:53

Where is the picture you're all talking about? Confused
Sorry to those who are joining the may bus (I'm sure I will see you there) and positive vibes to those who haven't tested or are symptom spotting.
Guessing my AF not due till around 15th so poas around 18th if no sign. Here's hoping! Smile

marie456 · 04/04/2013 21:05

I have af right now so still havent got to dtd bit! Counting the days down! If you click on lyndseys name it goes to her profile and then you can click see pics!

Springbells · 04/04/2013 21:15

[whispers] yay Lyndsey

Def looks like a pink line! Very exciting! Hoping tomorrow fmu really clear.

Bajas, we're a day apart. Thinking I'd be daft to test now. Sigh...

Just watched last week's OBEM, that wasn't one to watch alone Sad

WanabeMum · 04/04/2013 21:54

Ooh definitely looks promising! Fx Grin!!

WanabeMum · 04/04/2013 21:55

Haven't seen it yet springbells, heard about it though Sad

lyndsey90 · 04/04/2013 22:34

I won't watch OBEM it would make me cry too much!!

CandlestickOlder · 04/04/2013 23:20

I ovulate on Saturday (I think) and really need to DTD lots but now I've watching Dogging Tales it's put me off ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused

CandlestickOlder · 04/04/2013 23:22

Can't see the pic Lyndsey but YAY!!Grin

Springbells · 05/04/2013 06:01

I'm out. 7day luteal phase. Bloody stupid body. Can anyone shed some light on day 21 progesterone tests - do gp's normally do them? Should I be persistent and ask for one? (Last gp I went to see - not my normal one - just said to relax and that 6 days would be fine?!!) as a sensible, educated adult why does it feel like I'm humoured and placated by some gp's?! Minor rant over. Wine Wine

Really hope this month is a successful one for those left xx

Bajas · 05/04/2013 07:46

springbells I caved and tested this morning. Bfn but still no Af either. Boobs really sore and tense neck and back which are real Af signs for me so holding out no hope.

Zeuxippe · 05/04/2013 08:08

sorry springbell that af got you. Agnus castus is supposed to be good for luteal phase I think?

bajas it's not over till af arrives! Fx

I think I have a v faint line but am not going to call it a bfp yet! Will test again next week.

lucieloos · 05/04/2013 08:16

I tested this morning, 12dpo and bfn :( No signs of af at the moment. Going away for a couple of days nowb so will test again Sunday if still no af.

Bajas · 05/04/2013 08:56

zeuxippe v exciting- fingers crossed...

gillywillywoo · 05/04/2013 11:17

Right! Advice please!

Haven't dtd yet this cycle... Had a very heavy period which lasted a day or so longer than usual and been working nights since!

Anyway.... My phone apps are now telling me I'm fertile!

I reckon I will actually ovulate next wed/thurs so... I want to know how often we should be dtd...? (Will be using OPKs as well and also charting)

Last month we dtd every day during my fertile time and BFN.

Same again this month or should we dtd every other day?

Or maybe every other day til Monday.... And then dtd tues wed and thurs??

Just wondering what other people do...?? Smile
