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'.

Boo to all the AFs :(

2nd day of entirely no line on my OPK Confused CD16 now. No idea what that's about!

CandlestickOlder · 11/04/2013 16:23

Day 23 and still NO FUCKING TEMP RISE FFS.

Ahem. Four days till AF.

TobyLerone · 11/04/2013 16:27

Maybe our eggs are in hiding this month...

Have you had a +ve OPK today, gilly?

gillywillywoo · 11/04/2013 18:06

Helloooooo

Nope.. Still no positive OPK! CD18!
No temp rise either.

We were meant to be going to visit and stay with my parents this weekend but I'm thinking of cancelling so that we can carry on dtd!!!!!!

Aggghhh!

In hoping I have ovulated and just missed the LH surge... And that maybe my temp will rise tomorrow? Last month it rose a few days after ov I think!

gillywillywoo · 11/04/2013 18:08

I have had some pains and twinges down there today so hoping that's ovulation! Fingers crossed.

gillywillywoo · 11/04/2013 18:29

Also .... Was checking for CM today and could hardly even reach my cervix... I think during ovulation it becomes quite high up and hard to reach so.. Maybe I'm ovulating now but the OPKs didn't quite detect the surge? I've only hard faint lines for the last week but the lines were at the darkest (but still faint!) yesterday and the day before. Hmmmm.

lyndsey90 · 11/04/2013 18:32

CD34 now. Negative digital test this morning. Wish af would hurry up. Blah.

lyndsey90 · 11/04/2013 18:34

Oh and ex OH is on antibiotics and has given me thrush. Grrr.

lyndsey90 · 11/04/2013 18:34

Not ex OH LOL. My OH....

gillywillywoo · 11/04/2013 18:44

Lol ex!!

PistachioTruffle · 11/04/2013 18:59

A couple of months ago, I tried the CB ov sticks, and abandoned them as I didn't get a smiley face. This month, I tried temping and abandoned that too as they seemed to be all over the place.....Apparently neither method is foolproof Grin

Hope you feel better soon Lyndsey!

ELA88 · 11/04/2013 19:17

Gahh! Being off work makes the days soooo slow! Not that I'm really complaining as I don't want to go back on Monday! Hopefully poas tomorrow will shed some light on the lack of AF! Xx

Alyssa1978 · 11/04/2013 20:10

Good luck ela
Hoping for some good news for you xx

ELA88 · 11/04/2013 20:16

Thank you! Will be the 4th poas in a week! I'm like an addict now! Xx

Penny31 · 11/04/2013 20:23

I am now imagining symptoms during my 2ww. I'm a nightmare. My boobs feel huge and I had a sore nipple for 30 secs Grin

WanabeMum · 11/04/2013 20:26

Haha I'm addicted to poas too ela! Done 2 this week, the amazon cheapies, bfn obviously! Hoping to get a different result over the weekend as long as AF stays away. Not confident though as a bit crampy and a tiny bit of brown discharge so looks like she's coming!

ELA88 · 11/04/2013 20:35

Oh no, could be implantation though wanabe I keep buying the cheaply (ish) ones from asda and Superdrug, as they only come in 2s it is supposed to deter me from keeping testing but it doesn't! I just buy more! I've been good though and not poas since Tuesday morning! Xx

WanabeMum · 11/04/2013 20:37

Yea maybe but trying not to get my hopes up. I only paid £2 something for 20 on amazon so well worth it! Smile

ELA88 · 11/04/2013 20:40

Omg! That's so cheap! If I turn out to be bfn after poas and doctors tomorrow then I shall be investing in those cheapies! I've been paying £3.50 for 2! I know how you feel about trying to not get hopes up, it's so hard TTC and stay calm and relaxed about it all! Xx

lisbapalea · 11/04/2013 20:40

Can i ask for opinions on when i would be ok to poas. AF due anytime now - on the list i said tomorrow which would be cd22. Last month my cycle was just 21 days but that was unusually short - am usually c.23 days give or take a day either way. I'm just not sure whether hcg levels will be high enough this early even if that is my usual cycle length? I don't actually have any tests at the mo, so if i want to use fmu i guess Saturday (cd23) would be the earliest I could do.

when ttc our dd my cycles were a little longer at 25ish days and i am sure i waited until af was properly late before i tested.

This is all probably a moot point as I'm prob not pg anyway but i am obsessing!

DH just decided i could be pg as i ate a tin of pineapple when i couldn't work out what i wanted for dinner!

marie456 · 11/04/2013 20:53

Lisba I imagine it would be ok now as think it would depend on your luteal phase and when implantation occurred rather than your cycle length??
Ela Fx for you! If you are still getting bfn don't worry though. I seem to remember you said you came off pill few months ago? If so it can take up to 6 months to get regular cycle back. Longer in some cases. This is my 6th month since stopping mocrogynon and last 2 to 3 months things have seemed to be settling. 1st cycle was 23 days, then 35 days, 30 days, 27days and then 28days. As long as you havent gone months with no red witch then I don't think you should have any concerns. Hopefully you will get your bfp tomorrow though!!
Cycle day 9 here. Preparations underway again for a week or so of rather unromantic planned dtd!

WanabeMum · 11/04/2013 20:59

Lets hope we have a few more BFP's this weekend! Grin

ELA88 · 11/04/2013 21:04

Than you marie yeah stopped taking it end of December so only been a few months! My cycle last month was 31 day so maybe each month is just getting longer and longer! Xx
