Just got a positive opk!!! Test line darker eek!!! Grin

onelifeonechance · 05/09/2013 09:22

So sorry af caught up with you mama fx for the end of the month, come and keep us company at the back of the bus. We've got Disney singing her songs and i'm about to start another batch of baking, choc orange cookies anyone?

Eek choccy pounce on your chap now! I'm off to do my first ever opk (prior to biscuit making!), stupidly excited about it

Owlie84 · 05/09/2013 09:24

Woo hoo Choccy! Get on it! Grin

mama31 · 05/09/2013 09:39

Thanks onelife I will be happy to sit with you and disney :) and you have cookies yum!! Will be fun to share my insanity with you ladies lol

Choccy get to work!!!!!! ;)

PurpleGeekyGirl · 05/09/2013 09:40

Bloumer really hope your spotting and boob swelling means you're going to get a BFP.

Has anyone seen anywhere cheap to buy a new Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test with 20 Sticks? I got my last one from amazon and it cost £21.59 but it's now shot up in price to nearly £40!!! I never got a positive with the cheapy ones only with this one and given how erratic my cycle is don't think I can trust just cm alone.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 05/09/2013 09:41

mama sorry AF got you, I was hoping you were going to get a BFP with that spotting. Ho hum, fx for next cycle Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 05/09/2013 09:44

Will have a hunt for your purple.

Good timing here. Ds is going to my mum and dads for the day/overnight at 10 so I will jump on dh as soon as he's gone, and again later when we get back from dinner. Excited my body is still working! GrinGrin

Are you excited about the cookies or opk onelife lol! I loooooove cookies Grin

Sparrowlegs248 · 05/09/2013 09:47

Ooh onelife - the cookies sound amazing! I love baking but have started slimming world this week so none for me thanks - just had fruit and yogurt for brekkie!

leezl · 05/09/2013 09:47

Woop woop Hendricks, FX for tomorrow!

I have a really good feeling about this month, you guys! If only I can persuade DH to DTD again tonight (I pounced him when he was asleep last night and he is NOT IMPRESSED this morning because he got up late) I think we might have cracked it. God I sound like such a weirdo.

Anyone due to POAS this week/weekend?

PurpleGeekyGirl · 05/09/2013 09:48

Thanks choccy and have fun with the pouncing!!!

Spirael · 05/09/2013 10:08

Ooh, get going Choccy! Grin

The CB Digi Ov tests are £28 at Ocado at the moment, PurpleGeekyGirl. If you don't use Ocado, you could sign up and get a big shop (or a lot of tests!) delivered at the same time, with whatever discount they're currently offering for being a first time customer?

Assuming my cycle is the same as last month then I begin the 2WW today... Though I might pounce DH another couple of times over the next few days, just in case my cycle is on the longer side this time around!

I have a test sat on the window ledge in the bathroom, all ready to torment me for the next fortnight. Hmm

Choccywoccydodah · 05/09/2013 10:16

Time to get jiggy Wink

PurpleGeekyGirl · 05/09/2013 10:21

ooh thanks Spirael I lurve ocado so will pop some in my basket to come with next weeks shopping Smile

mama31 · 05/09/2013 10:29

Can someone change my stats to ttc#2, cycle 3, bfp 27/9? I am technically challenged :/ lol

wispaxmas · 05/09/2013 10:36

onelife, you'd be better off using the OPK in the afternoon, as apparently the LH surge starts int he morning and won't be in your urine yet.

Hendricks, I'm crossing everything for you!

And I just wanted to say that gross as it is, I'm stupidly excited at having spotted EWCM today.. on CD 9, about 4 days earlier than I would have expected. Which makes me wonder if I have a longer LP than normal and that is why we've not gotten pg yet. Ahh well, only time (and OPKs and temps) will tell.

bushprincess · 05/09/2013 10:40

Hendricks (my favorite Gin btw Smile) sounds like a potential bfp!!! whoop! Let us know if it's darker tomorrow!

notta mydays and the okps tied in for me - I wasn't using a digital and actually only used 2 on the 1st and 2nd day of my fertile period that mydays predicted (on a 25 day cycle - but not yet regular due to recently coming off the pill) and it looked like they agreed so we jumped to it... good luck with whichever strategy you plan on (I'd planned to hold off the opks for a few more cycles, but as I had them in the house they were calling to me!!)

Choccywoccydodah · 05/09/2013 10:51

Can someone update my stats please.
I've punched in my details to FF and apparently I will ov tomorrow due to opk result and my cervix is now out of reach. It's changed my cycle to 31 days, therefore BFP due 20th sept.

Choccywoccydodah ttc#2 cycle 1 BFP 20th

Onelife, I usually do my opk in the evening around 8pm. I've only done it this morning due to having a faint line last night after no line the previous days, and when I've read online about that some people have said test twice a day if that happens as you may miss your 12 hour positive window x

Hendricks · 05/09/2013 11:00

I can't see who asked - and I have a memory like a sieve at the best of times - however the test I used was one of theses www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007GZR6FO/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I don't have a set cycle length from my most recent cycle but going backwards my last six cycles have been 25, 27, 26, 25, 28, 27 so an average length of about 26, which would make today CD 26.

bushprincess - it's my favourite gin too. I found a gin drinking tour in London, that I really fancy the look of, but if I am pregnant that may have to wait a while (I'm ignoring the fact it would also cost a bomb to get there and back as I live up near Glasgow)

Hendricks · 05/09/2013 11:04

Gah, can't do links. these are the tests I used

leezl · 05/09/2013 11:06

All this talk of gin is making me queasy - first time I got drunk was on a bottle of gin when I was fourteen and haven't been able to stomach even the smell since Confused

Bloumermaid · 05/09/2013 11:11

Hello all.

Hendricks I've got everything crossed for you!

I decided to hold off testing today as another BFN would really get me down. Tomorrow is 14dpo so will test then.

I have been getting an absolutely minuscule amount of brown spotting for the past few days, completely different to 8+9dpo spotting which was heavier. No idea what all this means but fx.

Off on hol next week and I might join the POAS mile-high club!

Spirael · 05/09/2013 11:12

Thanks everyone that's mentioned MyDays. I just downloaded it and copied across my data from the past six months. The App is awesome! And agrees with what I was anticipating. :)

If there's a stats update going on, can mine be added please?

Spirael TTC#2 Cycle 1 BFP 19th

Sounds like we might be testing buddies, Choccy!

onefunkymama · 05/09/2013 11:17

My mantra for the day.... I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot lol, its too easy to read into every little twinge, I should know that by now. Hard not to though!
