The Elderberry Pavlovas- All aboard the Berrycopter. Thread 14

[funkymonk]

The smallprint - Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 3+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot) and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooh we are strict...please note your house may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments lol

merk have managed to control myself but then only because I could theoretically get a false positive from the trigger shot! Might do one tomorrow though, even though its bound to be the usual result!

thunder good work cadet!!! Splendid news! Did you cry?

When was the trigger blind? How many days post O/trigger/ transfer (not sure of the IUI technical term!) are you now? Any 'symptoms'?

Oo blind, loads of luck for testing tomorrow. I'll definitely be lurking for that one.

No didn't cry this time but only because I managed to stop myself at the point I realised we would be able to go and tell my mum some good news.

funky great news on getting the ball rolling. Well done for being so assertive.

Good luck for tomorrow Blind. Keeping everything crossed for you, it's definitely your turn.
Well done on getting referred so quickly Funky. Before they'll let me anywhere near the FC I have had to have 3 cd21 tests, a cd3 test (which my GP did on cd9 because she didn't listen when I told her otherwise ) and a chlamydia test. DP has also had to have a SA (which is probably out of date by now as it was done last December) and a Chlamydia test!
for all those who have been visited by the evil witch today

merk afraid not (apart from abdo cramps) so not holding out much hope but then I'm only 10dpo today and 11dp trigger. Only have Ic and ones from the hospital though, no cbfr, do you think it'll work?

Ae you def gonna test tomorrow kitty?

My first (v faint) was an IC, but a line is a line even if its a squinter! 10dpo is early but I would say its too late to get a false positive from the trigger (in experience of other people testing daily until they get a negative after the trigger it took no more than 8 days). Everything crossed. Remember I did not have a single symptom x

Good luck kitty. I so hope tomorrow is a great day for you !!

Yeh the brookers reckon 10dp trigger is fine. What day did you test with the ic merk?

Everyday!! First positive 10dpo. But I have a shortish LP so it kind of had to be then or never!

We need some more BFPs!!!

A while ago I said that I had some tests needing a home but no one said they wanted them. Any takers?
There is a CB Digital, a First Response and a twin pack of Superdrug ones. All went out of date at the beginning of the month but I bet they still work.

Sorry to all those for who AF arrived. Hope you're treating yourselves in someway today.

kitty I have absolutely everything crossed for you.

thunder I am absolutely over the moon for you. Fantastic news! You must be so relieved after everything you've been through. Please please pop back and say hi on the thread...I feel sad that you're leaving us - happy for you of course though!

Thunder, wow, your scan is amazing! That's only 12 weeks? I had no idea they could be so distinct then! Congrats. How did your mum react?

Thanks all for the tip on cheaply oPKs - I bought some last night. I think I didn't OV this month but hopefully they will help me establish for sure next cycle.

Ugh just has a shouting match with H (no dear right now) all over him using the loo I'd cleaned ready for tomorrow's visitors, we don't squabble about big stuff, it's always the stooopid petty stuff

Pip...I don't mind taking the tests off your hands if no one else is feeling cheeky! I dare say I'll be needing some over the coming months as the clomid continues to lengthen my LP and unfairly get my hopes up.

Bunny - that's exactly the sort of thing that me and my manlump would argue about! I often ban him from using the bathroom after I've cleaned in anticipation of visitors. We have a downstairs loo too but he sulks!

Phew boodle not just us then! lol. squabbling didn't last long and then he tried to jump on me, had to tell him no as itchy bitch in town, poor thing!

Boodle PM me your details if you want them. I've got loads and there is little chance of me getting pg before my next IVF in 6 months, so they are only going to go to waste.

Nope, definitely not just you, Bunny! We're always bickering about little stuff. Very rarely have big arguments though, which suits me fine!

Kitty, my cycle buddy, good luck if you test tomorrow. I'm 12 DPO today so testing tomorrow is tempting but after last month's bitter disappointment I don't think I can be bothered. Also, I think I'm more like 11.5 DPO tomorrow as fertility friend tottered between ovulation at CD13 and CD 14. (It went for 13 when I put in my +OPK.)

I've PMed you, Pip, thank you.

Question, what do you count ovulation day as, first day you get +opk? What if you get + 2 days in a row?

I count it as the day after a positive OPK.

Bunny ovulation is 18 to 36 hours on average after the peak of LH. So if you get 2 positives I would assume your peak was the middle of those two, then ovulation will happen approx (middle of the average) 18 hours later.
So... If you got +Ives mon and tue morning I would assume peak Monday eve and O on tue eve/wed morn. It's why i found temping helpful as it helped me to understand the average time from my +Ive OPK to O (for me at least 24 hours)

Ah! I usually get a positive one evening and the next day in the morning.

Another question then wise ones, So last few months I have had +opk on days 12/13 and 13/14 with a 27/28 day cycle, this month + was on days 17 and 18, how long will my cycle be do you think?
Am wondering when to expect AF! If 28 days then AF due Monday but I guess it will be more like end of the week?

Sorry if I'm being a thicko!

Assuming O on day 12, AF on day 28, LP is 15 days
Assuming O on day 13, AF on day 29, LP is 15 days
This cycle, assuming you Od on day 17, 17 + 15 = 32, so would guess AF on day 33
