Oops that should have been gilly and pixie!

ljklow · 23/08/2013 15:07

Just wondering what is everyones opinions on online ovulation calculators versus ovulation kits? I'm just heading into cycle #2 of ttc and wondering whether to invest in one of the kits or to trust the online calculators for my peak fertility days, my cycle is very regular and predictable and always lasts the same amount of time! Any insights/information is much appreciated!!!

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 23/08/2013 15:11

gilly Google doesn't think superdrug tests are known for evaporation lines (sainsburys own brand are notorious!). Don't give up :)

VickyVix · 23/08/2013 15:15

Get you ladies and all your BFP's! congratulations impatiently and pixie.

Gilly I still deffo see a line and have my fingers crossed for you

.....sloping off back to my September bus

gillywillywoo · 23/08/2013 15:19

I can't deal with continuously getting lines like this!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?? Gah. Not fair!
I've never ever EVER had faint lines before and now I'm getting them 3 days in a row. But they don't seem to be getting darker or thicker or anything. Just... Blah.

Do you guys see it?

I just think I'm going insane!

I made it to Australia and missed the most exciting couple of days whilst on the plane!! I'm so happy for all of you. I'm due af today. Tests have been bfn's so far so not holding out. Also my funny tummy went on Monday and had nothing since.
Xx

dutchss · 23/08/2013 15:26

Oh and gilly!!! Definitely lines on all of those!!! I'd be so excited if I had those. X

Swishyswashy · 23/08/2013 15:26

It's just because you have tested naughtily early Gilly, and at this stage even after 48 hours the amount in the urine is so small and the line will vary according to brand/ how much you've drunk etc. Lots of tests would not pick up anything at this stage. It is possible it won't work out, but at the moment it looks very hopeful. You're still not due AF for a couple of days are you? Keep hopeful! There is definitely a line.

gillywillywoo · 23/08/2013 15:31

Thanks swishy. I am naughty you're right!

AF/bfp not really due til Tuesday Shock

I've already adopted the frame of mind which is that it's not my month and looking forward to next cycle so DH and I can dtd as much as humanly possible Grin lol
However a real bfp would of course be amazing.

My sister has come to stay again this weekend with her husband and 2 children.. They should be here later tonight and going back to Devon on Monday. So that should keep me busy for a few days Smile

Deffo is a line. A pretty good one, I reckon.

Nulanoo · 23/08/2013 16:23

It's another line :):):)

jaykay987 · 23/08/2013 16:32

In greyscale you can really see it!

ImaginaryHat · 23/08/2013 16:38

Congratulations impatiently, awesome news!

Alyssa1978 · 23/08/2013 16:40

Definately a line gilly, I always got faint lines on superdrug until I was really far along, I like the frer and cb digital, both gave me early results and the frer got much darker quicker than ics and superdrug.

I still have a very good feeling about this month for you xx

gillywillywoo · 23/08/2013 17:08

FRER doesn't show anything Hmm
Well it didn't yesterday. Didn't want to waste one today.
Will carry on with the cheapies over the weekend and try a FRER next week IF af doesn't arrive!

VJONES1985 · 23/08/2013 17:31

I've gone from feeling every symptom under the sun around ov time to feeling pretty plain and normal today (3/4 dpo). So obviously too early to feel anything but it's not nice having no symptoms to spot. It means I don't 'feel' pregnant!

(I know how stupid I sound, by the way...)

Writerwannabe83 · 23/08/2013 17:58

Wow Pixie - that is a DEFINITE BFP!!! Congratulations!!
And lots of congratulation to you too Impatiently x

Gilly - yes they are faint, and I do find myself squinting BUT I definitely see hints of lines!!! It is so exciting!! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the time you post a test where there is a super duper clear line Grin

ImaginaryHat · 23/08/2013 18:17

Ooh I've just finished catching up. Yeah pixie that's a definite line, bfp for sure!

Gilly still think yours is too, although you are slightly scaring me about testing early as I don't know if I could cope with the uncertainty! I must say you're handling it very well! I predict a darker line for you tomorrow!

Sparrowlegs248 · 23/08/2013 18:29

Hi all,.have missed LOADS here so just saying hello before trying to catch up! Wish i could skip to the correct page but can't find a way.

Really don't think it will be my month. Disalpointing amount of shagging in the notta household!! Maybe i should change my name to jyst lotta ? We did manage a couple of times over the relevant week but still.....poor show!

cheesysmile · 23/08/2013 18:44

Congrats impatiently and pixie Flowers

Impatiently just wanted to say I know exactly how you feel. I'm really hoping for a bfp again at the end of the mth, but also really scared that if I do it won't work out again.Have told close friends abt it as just feels easier for them to know somehow.

BUT ... im sure you will have a super sticky bean this time and all will be fantastic! Lots of luck Smile

Terramirabilis · 23/08/2013 19:00

Haven't been keeping up with the bus but just signing in to say no bfp for me again this month. I haven't got AF yet, but had a pregnancy test done two days ago before a colposcopy so I know I'm not pregnant. Am on day 37 of this cycle. Hoping AF deigns to show up soon.

Congrats to all those with BFPS and I'll see the rest of you on the September bus!

Cupcake1985 · 23/08/2013 19:17

Hi guys - what does ttc# cycle and bfp mean?

Sparrowlegs248 · 23/08/2013 19:19

Congrats to all bfp's!! There have been loads recently! Gilly - sooo temptimg to test early but such uncertainty! I can see your lines tho so good luck! I see your bfp isn't due til monday, really hope you get a good strong line.

Friend at work is preggers, 33 weeks. A wee girl. Increasingly jealous!!! I have two nephews and of course would be happy with either a blue or a pink but feel that a pink would be lovely. (but more expensive!)

leezl · 23/08/2013 19:26

TMI alert...

DTD tonight and had a bit of blood afterwards, so I think AF is knocking at the door. Sigh. So I'm off to the September bus, but I will keep reading until the bitter end!! Here's to lots more shagging in September!

Good luck everyone, and thanks for your support this month! Xxx

VJONES1985 · 23/08/2013 19:28

Cupcake ttc means trying to conceive and the cycle number is how many months you've been ttc. Bfp means Big Fat Positive.
