Armywag that must have been horrible news to have Flowers but at least you have your referral I guess so can start having it treated. Hope they can sort things out for you shortly.

Impatiently hope those pains mean good things for you! I'm not sure I get ov pains or if I do I don't think I can distinguish them from normal niggles.

OPK BFN again just now. I've been doing them about 6pm when I get home from work, does anyone know if that's an ok time, all the pack said was not to use FMU.

cheesysmile · 08/08/2013 18:17

Empriscillavoss not sure I can be of much help to you, but I do know for OPKs to be positive the test line needs to be as dark as the control line, so a faint test line is a negative. If you got a positive yesterday then I think you are supposed to ovulate within 24-48 hrs, but I may have got that wrong as only just started using OPKs myself. Hopefully someone else will be able to give a more definite answer.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 08/08/2013 18:23

Purple four cycles properly. But we've been ttc for a year. Both 40 or thereabouts so seems to be taking its time!

Empriscillavoss · 08/08/2013 18:35

Okay cheesy thank you hopefully that will mean if we do the deed tonight and tomorrow we should be right on time :)

Gingerandcocoa · 08/08/2013 19:21

Hi, a bit late but can I join the August bus please!

TTC #1, cycle 2, BFP due around 12th August...

ImaginaryHat · 08/08/2013 19:26

Armywag hope your referal gets you some answers Flowers

Cheesy I use they ic opks and also test when I get in from work about 5pm and I've found them fine. If its a weekend and I'm home I sometimes test a bit earlier. Yes the line does need to be at least as dark as the control line to be a +ive result.

MissYamabuki · 08/08/2013 19:59

oh Army good luck

lots of activity in Breastland so I decided to POAS. Got a positive (clearblue) - faint but it is there.

a bit Shock at the mo

need a new bra asap Smile

Writerwannabe83 · 08/08/2013 20:23

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grin

I've been squeezing into my current bras for 2 weeks and they are so, so uncomfortable!! I just can't face the long and slippery slope of buying news ones, it sounds like an expensive game!!!

snoozysleeper · 08/08/2013 20:33

miss yamabuki congratulations !! Grin

Bloumermaid · 08/08/2013 20:44

Hi all, please can I hop on board too? Just joined MN and this is my first post.

I came off the pill on April 1 and no AF since then - had blood tests and all fine, doc said prob just my body taking its time. We started ttc on 20 July and 6 days later I started feeling really sick. Have had loads of symptoms over the last 2 weeks (bloating, sore lower back, cramping, feeling 'heavy' in my abdomen, peeing more often, brain fog and mood swings), tested on Weds (17 days after first BD, 13 days after symptoms started) and BFN.

I have no idea if/when I ovulated or when I could expect a BFP - could these just be AF symptoms? I'm not sure as I feel nauseous all the time and I've never had this before - my whole body and mind feel out to lunch! I also think 6 days after ttc is really soon (only BD'd twice before symptoms started and having not ovulated for months it would be very lucky to catch it on the first try).

Anyone got any ideas when I can reasonably test, as I have no AF to date from? And if I'm not pg what on earth is going on?

Lots of luck to everyone else awaiting BFPs, and big congratulations to those who've got them!
xx

coco808 · 08/08/2013 21:07

Hello cheesy! Thank you everyone for the welcome. I still haven't figured out when I ovulated this month! Ovulation pains happened on Sunday. OPK showed positive on Monday and Tuesday but the CM was dry-ish by Monday. DTD on Sunday and Wednesday. Any ideas?
Sorry for TMI ;)

mama31 · 08/08/2013 23:22

BFN this morning! (May have tested too early not sure) but had horrendous mood swings all day, back ache and small spot of brown/pinkish (sorry tmi) mucus tonight so either full af this wkend or the optimistic option of implantation bleeding :/

JellyBeanDavey · 09/08/2013 00:04

Bloumermaid did you say you've had no AF since you came off the pill or did I read that wrong?
And welcome btw Smile

Congratulations Yama!! How exciting.Grin

Cd30 for me today. Im worried I'm going to have a long cycle again Sad

ChubbyKitty · 09/08/2013 01:26

I think it might be slowing down now so when I get back from my weekend away I might be able to finally dtd.

It's been nearly a month, I think I'm developing a twitch.

ItalianWiking84 · 09/08/2013 07:13

MissYamabuki Congratulations

cheesysmile · 09/08/2013 07:52

Congrats missyamabuki!

Imaginary thanks that's good to know.

Empriscillavoss · 09/08/2013 09:07

Good morning everyone had my first ever 'I'm pregnant' dream last night! Although i didn't even have one with my first pg! Woke up feelin all excited! Still have atleast 11 days to wait to test though!

Monstamio · 09/08/2013 10:18

Congratulations Yama... almost missed that post! A line's a line! Very exciting Smile

JellyBeanDavey · 09/08/2013 11:07

I'm popping out to get a test in a moment, I'm like 95% sure I'm not but its peace of mind really.

Vikkijayne2507 · 09/08/2013 11:15

congrats Yama. im alao squeezing into bras some are actually leaving red marks so I need to invest as soon as I get home.

in regards to when to test without af I would keep teatibg every other day. also it ciukd be you are ovulating. my boobs are sore during this time. Have you tried using opks.

Vikkijayne2507 · 09/08/2013 11:16

oh that was a question for blourmor maid

loopy287 · 09/08/2013 11:45

Hi all, can I jump on board too please? So many BFPs already! I'm TTC #2, first cycle. AF is due today, no sign yet! Have done an internet cheapie plus a Superdrug test today, BFN. Is there much chance of a BFP after that?! Confused

Gingerandcocoa · 09/08/2013 11:49

Loopy I think there's still hope, until AF shows up!!! Good luck to you, hope you don't have any "visitors" today :)

Bloumermaid · 09/08/2013 11:59

Congratulations missyamabuki! Amazing news.

JellyBeanDavey - No, I haven't had an AF since I came off the pill - that's 4 months now and counting! Doc said I should go in for a scan after clear blood tests but then all the pg symptoms started, so I thought I'd wait and see.

Vikkijayne I haven't tried opks as I'm so new to this (first time ttc) - but that's a really good idea, thanks! DH and I decided to start trying even though we had no idea when/whether I was ovulating. Shot in the dark really, I wouldn't even be thinking I might be pg if I hadn't had all the symptoms. No sore boobs though, which makes me think maybe not... Hmm

Will keep testing! Big thanks for your advice Smile

TheBabyFacedAssassin · 09/08/2013 12:26

Congrats Yama!!!

Non TTC related but I have just been to the docs and have vertigo :(

Yuck Envy (that's a sick face btw)

Am now feeling a bit down on myself because have been dtding like a mad thing but last night and the night before I couldn't face it :( My app tells me I'm likely to ovulate tomorrow so maybe there's still hope.
