Gilly, I'm still lurking on this thread to see you get your bfp. I hope this is your month!

Yup AF is due today. No sign yet but no bfp either Hmm

Just lots of CM Blush

mixture of creamy+white and then blobs of CM that's like cloudy in colour+almost like EWCM but mixed with white.

First smiley OPK was on Sunday 7th and I tested again in the morning on Monday 8th and also got a smiley face positive then too.... AND I got one in the afternoon on Monday 8th.

All my apps say I ovulated on Monday 8th but maybe I didn't ovulate til Tuesday 9th or even Wednesday 10th?
If that's the case I might only be 12-13dpo rather than 14dpo today.

Hmm.. Still getting BFNs though so I reckon I just ovulated a few days later than I thought and AF will arrive tomorrow/Wednesday or something like that.

We only dtd on Sunday 8th and Monday 9th around that time so not much of an effort this month!

Lol maybe I should go eat some figs

Writerwannabe83 · 22/07/2013 18:31

Gilly

I guessed that I was ovulating around July 8th and we only DTD on the 3rd, 6th and 8th. I don't know why we didn't do it more frequently, it just didn't seem to happen. As I was getting to AF being due I was kicking myself that we hadn't DTD more often and I felt angry at myself - but obviously, it was enough to get the job done!

Are you periods usually quite regular?? At what point would you start getting suspicious about its non-arrival?? x

My periods aren't very regular since coming off the pill at the end of December. They aren't that bad (could be worse....)

31 day cycle, 29 day cycle, then 30, 34, 48 and 33.

Now on cd40 of my current cycle Blush

However for the last few months I've been using OPKs and AF has arrived 13 days after my first positive each time which suggests to me that I HAVE been ovulating.. Just at different times each month... Which my doctor said can happen and is quite common after being on the pill for 10 years with very few breaks.

Anyway.. The only think I'm a bit worried about is maybe I didn't ovulate at all? Maybe I got the smiley this month, my body geared up to do it and then it didn't happen.. Which is why AF still hasn't arrived? Maybe I actually ovulated a week later... WHO KNOWS!??!!

I dunno really. Will have to just wait it out and see what happens! Hmm

Well I will keep my fingers crossed for you - I plan on hanging around so I can see the outcomes of others Smile It has been such a lucky bus so far and I'm sure there are more BFPs on the horizon....

gillywillywoo · 22/07/2013 18:51

Actually I've checked and my cycles have been 31, 29, 30, 47, 33.

Now on cd40 and AF due any day...

So my average cycle length is about 35 days with couple cycles in the 40 day region Blush

That must be so frustrating for you Confused !!

gillywillywoo · 22/07/2013 20:17

Very! But I know people who have had much crazier cycles or even no periods at all so... Still counting myself lucky in a way!

armywag21 · 22/07/2013 21:01

I think af is coming.. Cramping and brown spotting. If it is then this cycle is 24 days.. God damn you PCOS! Angry

DisneyDiva87 · 23/07/2013 07:46

vikki It could have been bladder pains it sits down with the uterus. I get them every so often (usually day or 2 after DTD). Dr said it was just my bladder taking a beating.

Vikkijayne2507 · 23/07/2013 07:46

Bored of 2 ww 4 dpo taking foreverrrr

DisneyDiva87 · 23/07/2013 07:46

Oh and did you POAS gilly?

Isean · 23/07/2013 08:31

I just knew that after POAS yesterday morning, AF would arrive! And she arrived with a bang last night, worst cramps I've had in months Confused

So, I'm away to hop on the August bus!
Good luck to the rest of you! xx

armywag21 · 23/07/2013 09:40

Spotting amounted to absolutely nothing! Still in for a chance this month.

I'm stupidly emotional today.. Crying at the itv special about the royal baby... Hmm

Vikkijayne2507 · 23/07/2013 09:43

Thanks Disney makes sense

LeeHandy · 23/07/2013 10:30

army, I have been having cramps every day for the last week. it's my only symptom actually. so good luck! Grin

armywag21 · 23/07/2013 10:46

Sounds promising! I've been light headed this morning too.. Even tho I've eaten loads as my hunger is unreal the past few days.

JosiePosiePuddingAndPie · 23/07/2013 10:53

Hi Ladies, I've been steering clear the last few days as I was going a bit cocoloco with it all...but I'm still in Limbo and I'm starting to get pissed off about it! Had another BFN of sunday. Today is CD37 which is the longest my cycle has been since I had DS 2 years ago. I think I OV on CD 16-18 so I'm now about 20dpo and nothing. Boobs are a bit sore, but that could be af, feeling a bit sick sometimes, but it's hot and i could be imagining it. Having trouble sleeping - it's hot, feeling hungry all the time - i'm greedy. I don't know, i'm just pissed off and need a bit of a boost so I thought I'd come here cause I know you would understand. To top it all off my best friend got a BFP on sunday. I'm happy for her cause they've been trying 6 months now, but I want my BFP now!!!

Hi ladies! So I think I'm 15dpo today and still no sign of AF and still getting a bfn.

I got very positive OPKs - big thick dark lines (darker than the control line) AND smiley face digi OPKs on Sunday 7th and Monday 8th.

Assumed I ovulated on the Monday making me 15dpo now but maybe I ovulated on the tuesday or Wednesday making me 13-14 DPO? I don't know.

I'm still worried that maybe my body geared up for ovulation but then didnt do it at that time at all. That would be annoying as we only really dtd enough around when I THINK I ovulated. So... Who knows.. Arghh!

Still getting lots of CM... Blobs of it like snot (sorry!) and also white CM mixed with EWCM like cloudy in colour.

Very teary and emotional last night... Thought that was AF on the way! All the talk of the royal baby and so many people I know pregnant.. And 2 people I know have given birth in the last few days... It all got a bit too much for me! Plus last night was SO HOT! So I was just in a mood Hmm
