Good luck for Friday I wish you all well. And yes there's highs and lows but it's great for everyone to support eachother regardless of the outcome ;) I'd also love to see some bfp's that would totally put a smile back on my face!!!!

sazzlehopes · 22/10/2013 09:19

You're right m33r - i generally do remain upbeat which is why being here helps. the support and positivity on here has made this month the easiest! plus i've learnt loads, which i think can only be a good thing. And i really can't complain - i have a happy healthy boy already...another child would just be a bonus!
i've got my fx its lucky 11 for us m33r!

ImaginaryHat · 22/10/2013 09:46

Argh congratulations jaykay and spinning! Am loving the positivity on here, I really do hope you 11 monthers get your bfp this time, you really deserve it!

Well I am never going without opks again while ttc, its driving me totally crazy! CD 23 today, no idea if I've ovulated (usually between CD 15 and 19 but I had a cd13 the other month). Poas(ic) this morning on the off chance I ovd on cd13 again which would make me 10dpo today. Bfn of course, what was I thinking poas cd23?! Were still dtd in case its really late this month, so I dtd hoping to conceive and poas within 12 hours! Mental! Got an achy cervix which is one of my classic pre af symptoms but telling myself its just all the dtd, not af coming!

Think I will join you ladies in poas on Friday if that's OK, then if bfn just wait and see if af turns up after that. If she comes, I'm straight on Amazon to stock up on opks!

fluffythelabcat · 22/10/2013 10:00

imaginaryhat -achy cervix?? That's a new one for me!! sounds like too much dtd to me, lucky you!!!

I am going to POAS Friday too, don't feel like this is my month, am temping for the first time and looking out for an implantation dip but they have been stubbornly constant for the last few days!! Had all the symptoms last month and BFN so maybe no symptoms are good symptoms?

ImaginaryHat · 22/10/2013 10:43

Lol at you running to check cervix fluffy! Yeah I often get it in the run up to af, you know that low achy womb feeling, well I feel like its my cervix aching too, probably imagining it!!

I agree no symptoms is good, I've had a couple of months where I've felt so nauseous and boobs so tender but not a sniff (probably wrong word lol) of a bfp. This month nothing except old achy cervix. Well see on Friday I guess whether our lack of symptoms means anything!

How are you finding temping? I bought a thermometer a few weeks ago but not started yet, was a bit afraid of making ttc feel like too much of a science and not being as relaxed so have (largely) just stuck to opks. However, if its not my month this month I think I'll give it a go next time. Do you find it easy to remember to do as soon as you wake up? Does it help you feel more in control of ttc?

fluffythelabcat · 22/10/2013 11:07

I really like temping but I am a scientist so that might explain it!!! I love making graphs of things!! I just wake up, shove the thermometer in my mouth and nod off again until it beeps and wakes me up again!!

The problem is that it only really tells you when ovulation has happened unlike the opks. I just wanted to know it was happening and when to aim for next month although it happened on cd13 which was what I expected from symptoms the previous months.

It does help me feel more in control and the reassurance that I am ovulating I suppose. The novelty hasn't worn off yet but I imagine it could get quite boring after a few months!!

Sparrowlegs248 · 22/10/2013 11:39

Bloumer !!!! Yey for AF!! I know exactly how you feel. I waited 10 months after my last depo jab (so 7 months after it wore off) for af to arrive. So spents months hoping it would arrive and now i want the witch to stay away! I felt so reassured that my body was getting back to normal.

ImaginaryHat · 22/10/2013 11:58

That doesn't sound too bad then fluffy, I reckon I could cope with doing it at least for a couple of months just to try and back up my opks. I know opks tell you when your lh surge is but they don't confirm that you actually ovulate, so temping would help to confirm it. Plus, I also love a good graph Grin

Bloumer didn't see your post before, you must be so relieved to have finally got af. But hopefully you won't see her again any time soon!

fluffythelabcat · 22/10/2013 12:40

Maybe we can compare our graphs, imaginary

laravh · 22/10/2013 12:55

Could this be implantation bleeding... I'm 12dpo, yesterday and today I had dark red blood when I've felt my cervix. Not really sure how my actual cervix should feel though.Nothing when I wipe or on a pad. My boobs have felt tender and looked bigger since about 5dpo.
Really don't want this to be the witch making an unscheduled early arrival. She's not due til Sunday/Monday based on my last two af's.

PurpleGeekyGirl · 22/10/2013 13:42

wow! How many BFPs?! That's amazing. Congrats to all.

I'm in the tww now, not sure of when AF is due as weird cycles recently, but I think based on ewcm it's 28-29 Oct so next week. Taking a step back from here has helped me to chill about it all a lot more and I haven't done any OPKs or cm checking like I was. Am feeling quite chilled about it all at the mo and hoping it stays that way as the last few days approach.

Good luck to everyone still on the bus Smile

ImaginaryHat · 22/10/2013 13:43

Haha graphtastic fluffy!

Could be implantation Lara, 12 dpo is about the right time I think. Or could be the start of af - hopefully not!

Have you poas? Good luck!

Missvaughan85 · 22/10/2013 13:43

I'm symptom spotting, lower back pain like af pain, but it's not due for a week?? Could it be implantation pains??? Also lots of bowel movements, sorry if tmi x x

ImaginaryHat · 22/10/2013 13:46

Hey purple

I'm due around 30th too so we can try and keep eachother sane during the last week of 2ww! Glad you've managed to have a relaxed month. I've not opk'd either but not by choice, by forgetting to order them then going on holiday, am losing the plot now!

sazzlehopes · 22/10/2013 14:38

Still symptom spotting my abdomen twinges and stretching feeling like a crazy lady. Google is not my friend at the moment....
7(LONG DAYS)po

laravh · 22/10/2013 14:50

Thanks Imaginary, fingers crossed it's not AF! Not poas yet

sazzlehopes · 22/10/2013 15:24

Laravh you are welcome to joing the mini poas stick party we are having friday - AF is due for me on Monday 28th, so getting a cheeky poas in early on friday and then will probably wait until AF arrives after that!

m33r · 22/10/2013 17:08

imaginary can I join in the keeping sane til end of month? Think I'm due 2nd November but maybe 31st oct. I've got a bit muddled as calendar based on 32 day cycle says I'm due on 31st BUT ov-d on 17th as per calendar prediction but know my luteal phase is 16 days so not really due til 2nd but this means my cycle is not 32 days ... I'm so confused! Think you're amazing to be sane as no opks - they're my lifeblood!

Anyway, 5dpo and big very white EWCM. What does that mean? Could it mean? Is very definite. About to check last months notes as this may have happened last month too??

m33r · 22/10/2013 17:09

Ch

m33r · 22/10/2013 17:10

Checked diary. I did get EWCM at 5dpo last time too. Ach well... Probably no BFP as all still the same as normal. Going to do an opk tonight too - think I'm getting lots of lh peaks. Bah!

ImaginaryHat · 22/10/2013 17:38

M33r I think someone who got their bfp got a blob of ewcm at about that time, maybe jaykay, can't quite remember, but it could be a good sign!

m33r · 22/10/2013 18:10

Thanks imaginary I sure do hope so but as I had it last month too, I'm not as confident. I am glad that I have been recording stuff like that as I'm not getting my hopes up to much!

Keeping hopeful but not delusional!

ImaginaryHat · 22/10/2013 18:11

Yeah its a fine balance isnt it!

johull · 22/10/2013 18:13

Sazzel - I know we agreed to test on Friday... BUT - I just did one!! And.... I got a faint positive! My husband also looked at it and agreed there were 2 lines :-? very nervous to take another test. Advice - do I take another one now and hope for another faint + OR do I leave it. I'm not due to test till the 30th. HELP!!!

johull · 22/10/2013 18:14

sorry *Sazzle
