Anyone care to join me for this interminable length of waiting time?! I'm only 1 dpo! Brew

Still no AF here, still feeling positive and the latest wave of 'I really want to test now' impatience has passed...I was thinkig about it, if I test on 14th, I will then call the Dr on 16th and it's usually a 3 week wait for an appontment with 'my' dr...I could be about 8 weeks by then, lol!

VJONES1985 · 30/08/2013 19:28

Tea That's a good point. Did you dtd those days because you knew you were ovulating around then?

VJONES1985 · 30/08/2013 19:30

Keden By 'fertile window', do you mean ov day and a few days afterwards or what?

Nulanoo · 31/08/2013 09:07

Morning ladies :)

So today I've had white ewcm (tmi but it was just there not from wiping or anything if that makes sense) I've done another test but bfn! Who knows what's going on!

Tea1Sugar · 31/08/2013 10:29

Vjones - dtd on two days of flashing smilies (though I got 5) and two days of solid smilies. But we dtd at all before or after that time.

Hi Vjones, my fertile window (according to several apps / online calculators) was...

3 days before Ovulation + Ovulation Day + 1 Day After Ovulation = 5 Day Fertile Window

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 31/08/2013 14:51

Tea1, yep that's exactly what I did too.

DTD on Cycle days 9 - 13, plus 1 day after (just in case).

I used this calculator; www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator

Hey Ladies....hope you are all having a fantastic weekend??? I had a job interview so spent most of my day stuck on sweaty trains,( took a couple of hours to get there) dying to go to the toilet , and there were no loos on the trains?? now i feel like my UTI which had cleared up is back.....how annoying.... My AF is due , like now, well like yesterday and its not arrived yet!!!!! ....i'm trying so had not to get my hopes up ....could it be my turn this month to get a BPF??????? ....... i will see what happens though....definitely not testing as what normally happens is = i will test then my AF comes about an hour later!!!! ....plus it gets expensive...i have one pregnancy test left, sitting in my drawer calling out to me but i'm ignoring it.... a day late is nothing .... if i get to a week late, then and only then, will i do a pregnancy test....so i'm gonna take each day as it comes , ...........see what happens?!!!!???............ GOODLUCK GIRLS AND BABY DUST TO YOU ALL..........xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I will keep you posted xxxConfused

ELR · 31/08/2013 20:32

layla keeping every crossable part of my body crossed for you!!
How long have you been trying?

Refoca · 31/08/2013 22:11

Layla so good to find someone else who's waiting a while. :-) fingers crossed AF stays away.

GnomieGrace · 31/08/2013 22:18

FX Layla! Hope you get your BFP!

layla1976 · 02/09/2013 11:07

Hi ladies!!!!! hope you ALL have had a fab weekend!?? how is everyone going???
ELR.. I have been trying for nearly 3 years , but in that 3 year period gave up for a year as was made redundant and so was my other half so timing was all wrong, plus the stress of it all was doing me in!!! ... funny thing is we only started trying again recently ( 3months) and this was my first cycle with the dual hormone clear blue digital OPK's and a product similar to preseed.... I NOW SWEAR BY THESES PRODUCTS!!!!... i had been doing it wrong before I think.. the other opk's which only gave you solid smiley and no before flashy ones , i would test first thing in the morning and then have to go to work until really late and sometimes we would end up DTD around midnight that night , the rise in LH could easily have happened the day before if only testing once a day, we got so fed up with DTD as it got so clinical so would put it off just for those times, I reckon i missed it several times.... this time we DTD on first day of smiley flashy, DTD on the 2nd day of smiley flashy, missed the 3rd day of smiley flashy and first thing in the morning of the solid smiley then we didn't bother after that.... think that preseed type stuff must do something to really prolong sperm life???...god knows.... ALL I CAN SAY IS AF STILL NOT HERE!!!!! ... i have no period like cramps but no preg symptoms either?..not sure whats happening... the other website said to wait until at least wed to test but i'm gonna wait til fri/sat... my AF's are always 27/28 days on very very rare occassions it could be 26 days but NEVER over 28.... I think once it was 5 days late a few years ago so im still not convinced..Hmm.it could be anything Confused maybe my body is just playing tricks on me but will soon see... this is gonna be one long week!!
REFOCA... whats the situation with you?? how late and when you testing??
i have everything crossed for you all......
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

bushprincess · 02/09/2013 19:40

Hey layla... good luck on the wait, .fx .af doesn't catch you and hope the wretched uti clears up soon!

ELR · 02/09/2013 20:21

Ooh layla sounds promising! I would be dying to test can't stand suspense. Still keeping fingers crossed.

snoozysleeper · 02/09/2013 23:33

Hi all

Settling back in for 2ww, cd 15 for me Brew

And fx layla for you, sounds promising indeed

ArkadyRose · 03/09/2013 08:15

CD15, 5dpo and into the 2ww again. This month DP and I decided to opt for the tactic of dtd every other day from the moment AF finished until either AF puts in an appearance or I get a BFP. Got good feelings about this month - so fx!

layla1976 · 03/09/2013 13:44

FX for all of you...AF still not here but was having cramps like AF last night but nothing today just feel nauseous as hell...??? ...i'm gonna stay off this website now for a few days unless AF arrives..feels like its gonna..cramps like that are not normal right?? ...gonna test fri/sat time IF i get that far...doubt it...good luck peeps!.... xxx

Refoca · 03/09/2013 22:44

Sounding promising layla, hope we see you back here with a BFP come the weekend :-)

Welcome to the 2ww Arkady and Snoozy (or welcome back? Sorry, I've not read the whole thread from the start or if I did it's long since fallen out my other ear)...fingers crossed this is your month.

Nulanoo any update?!?

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 00:15

Thanks for the welcome refoca I was here last month so this is my second cycle

Was meant to dtd tonight but didn't work out Sad

Is anyone else using fertility friend app? It looks like my 'fertile days' are 2 days later than standard predictions Confused

I think if not positive for me this month I'm going to move onto opks for 3rd cycle... Trying not to be pessimistic !!

Got the best part of 2 weeks to wait yet

Refoca · 04/09/2013 10:11

I spoke too soon, spotting today :-(

Fingers crossed it's just a little bit and there's still a sticky bean in there.

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 11:42

Fingers crossed for you refoca Flowers

ELR · 04/09/2013 13:10

snoozy yes I've just started using it and it as put me a few days out compared to other sites too! That's all we need to add to the confusion!!
According to ff my fertile days are 3 days earlier than other sites.

snoozysleeper · 04/09/2013 14:01

I know ELR it just makes it more difficult for us really... Hoping we dtd enough anyway but time will tell

ArkadyRose · 04/09/2013 20:20

I'm a returnee - was here last month, hoping for better luck this time!
