The cm is what's confusing me. I had clear,slightly sticky stuff on cd8 - 10 but nothing since. Now on cd14. So I don't know what that means :(

snoozysleeper · 15/08/2013 10:39

Your cm changes leading up to ovulation and after you've ovulated it dries up a bit...I found this website useful:

Have a look it might help

snoozysleeper · 15/08/2013 10:42

End of web link should read 6380#continue

VJONES1985 · 15/08/2013 10:42

Thanks, will do. Not sure if it makes sense to have cm a few days ago, all these symptoms now and negative opks...

mrswalsh77 · 15/08/2013 11:03

Tickets please!
Still waiting for AF to make her appearance whilst secretly hoping for a BFP on our 1st anniversary! We are going away for the weekend, will pack a test if she hasn't arrived by then.
Feeling bloated and been constipated for 2 days Hmm AF was due yesterday!

leezl · 15/08/2013 11:09

Mrswalsh that would be just lovely to have a BFP on your anniversary! But don't be disheartened if not - at least you will have a special day regardless Smile good luck :)

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 15/08/2013 11:24

Thanks gilly - the sensible thing to do would be to wait til Sunday and test then but I have no doubt I'll actually be feverishly testing every day!

VJONES1985 · 15/08/2013 11:28

Jelly - it's our second anniversary on Tuesday and we're away this weekend as well. We won a free stay in a luxury hotel in Canterbury :)

supercalafraga · 15/08/2013 11:36

Boarding!

Hope you ok Army xx.

I POAS this am but a BFN... hoping it's just too early but starting to lose my optimism this month Sad.

Only got some cheapies so going to go invest in some superdrug ones to use closer to bfp date.

Congrats Jelly and Roodles Flowers

MrsWedgeAntilles · 15/08/2013 11:49

Boarding!

We're on cycle 1 of trying to make DC2. POAS due on Tuesday but the wait is killing me. Thought I had some symptoms but it turned out I've got a UTI so I'm not holding out much hope for a BFP this month.

Superdrug tests are great. You can get a positive 4 days before you are due and they are relatively cheap as well.

Jelly With DS I tested four days before I was due and then twice a day everyday until 2 days after I was due. I started with a very smart, expensive one and ended up in a shower of 99p shop tests. It was a bit like Gavin and Stacey :)

MrsWedgeAntilles · 15/08/2013 11:50

Hello, VJones, its nice to have some other people to chat to, isn't it? :)

VJONES1985 · 15/08/2013 11:55

Hi there! I've had some symptoms which I think means ovulation is on its way. Good thing, as have just come off the pill. Great to have people to talk to but it doesn't help with my ttc obsession!

leezl · 15/08/2013 12:04

My nausea is in overdrive today. DH is convinced already but I need a BFP to believe it! I'm sure it's just my imagination.
I work next to a Chinese takeaway and the smell is horrendous (usually I'd be in heaven Grin), I feel like I can taste it and I want to heave. Bleurgh!
So which SuperDrug tests are supposed to be the best??

VJONES1985 · 15/08/2013 12:13

I don't know actually, I've never used them! When are you testing, leezl?

leezl · 15/08/2013 12:26

VJones AF is due on 26th so then I guess, if she doesn't show up? I'm broke so I really can't afford to buy a test that is gonna be negative haha!

VJONES1985 · 15/08/2013 12:28

Ha ha! I'm assuming af is due around the 29th (although don't know for sure) so I've got a while to wait. Argh!

MrsWedgeAntilles · 15/08/2013 12:32

Just the normal Superdrug tests, they're in a pink packet

leezl · 15/08/2013 12:49

Thanks Mrs Wedge! :)

ThreeFromDesire · 15/08/2013 13:06

Sitting quietly at the back.

Feeling much more positive today. DP and I went on an all day date(!) yesterday and talked things over. He wants to continue ttc as he has already said but right now we aren't putting any extra pressure on with all the ttc bits and bobs and so we smashed up the cbd opk!! Felt good lol even though I knew my fixed smiley was due and I wanted to see it.

Lots of bfps on this bus but we need more, come on testers Grin

VJONES1985 · 15/08/2013 13:09

Wow! Go girl! That's the best way to be, just dtd every two days and waiting for mother nature to do her thing :) Good luck to you.

ScienceGeekGirl · 15/08/2013 13:47

Hi ladies I have returned waves to those from previous buses. Just got a positive opk so know my stats now. My cycles are so all over the place I don't know how long my cycle will be till I OV. If I OV tomorrow then that's cd22 which isn't too bad I guess (for me).

ScienceGeekGirl ttc #1 cycle 6 BFP 29th Aug

Can't quite believe I'm on cycle 6. That feels so depressing.

littlemissy1234 · 15/08/2013 13:48

After my feint lines yesterday - I got a BFP! Can someone add me?
But I've just had the most stressful morning in the world at work (teacher and results been mucked up seriously) and I'm scared something will happen. Nerves/Stress just give me a really dodgy tummy. That couldn't hurt anything could it?
Good luck everyone x

leezl · 15/08/2013 14:06

Congrats littlemissy!!!! Take it easy, try not to worry Smile

Sparrowlegs248 · 15/08/2013 14:11

Congratulations littlemissy!! I am not feeling hopeful this month, not sure why - ov due on sunday so must get cracking at dtd which we have so far failed at!!

Owlie84 · 15/08/2013 14:56

Congratulations littlemissy!!

I think I'm going to hop off this bus, and onto the Sept one - AF is early (great :() I think, so good luck to everyone else!!
