choccy and imaginary i'm so very sorry to hear your news. i hope you are both being well looked after in RL. Choccy do you want me to take you off the list? I'm not sure on correct etiquette round here...

m33r i'm in the 2ww right now. About 3dpo. I peaked on my cbfm on day 16 which is about 2 days later than normal so I hope that isn't a problem with shortening my lp. I'm not sympton spotting this month - i did loads last month and it all amounted to nothing. I am eating pineapple, but have a busy working week ahead so hoping to distract myself until next week when I will test.
How you doing? AF gone yet? xx

funky the fact that you did nothing different feels better to hear than you did this, ate that. It has made me relax a lot more and just think I'll get there in the end. Thank you!!!!!

Wineandchoccy....sorry af got you, all the best for next cycle Thanks

lucyfluff · 17/11/2013 10:11

Choccy so sorry it was a chemical Sad take some time out to relax and I hope we see you soon. Hugs to you x

M33r...good luck for a dec bfp it must be frustrating when your cycles are a bit crazy!!!

Sorry to those that AF got...when your ready come on over to the lucky festive bus girls Grin

skybluegirl33 · 17/11/2013 10:26

Looks like I may be hopping off the bus.

My bbt for the first time has been really high for me since ovulating, even my cheeks have been burning with the extra heat! However, I'm 12dpo and had a slight dip in bbt ths morning but still higher above cover line in comparison to last month. Did an IC POAS this morning, BFN.

AF due approximately Tuesday. If bbt temps drop again until then will probably know I'm out!

m33r · 17/11/2013 10:31

sazzle AF been gone for about a week and being dtd-ing like mad. The temping isn't really working out for me though - I had a huge peak yesterday but def negatives on opks but thinks its because I'm ill (bit coldly / flu-y) but sticking with it. Lots of extra cm - can't believe how much more but think that's the grapefruit juice a-working.... So, don't think I've ov-d yet but continue to dtd as much as I can. Also on the preseed so we'll see....

Good for you not symptom spotting. One day after AF this month I had LOADS of symptoms and as such have made a note to self for tww: I get cramps a lot; I iften feel nauseous; I am always tired; my bbs look bigger in different light! These do not make me pg! No more symptom spotting for me!!!!!

FX this is your month! funky you and me - the November / December 12 month hat trick!?! FX

m33r · 17/11/2013 10:34

Thanks lucy yes very frustrating but I just use opks all the time to keep me on top of it. And my luteal phase is regular so I don't waste hpts (well I do, but I know I'm doing it!! Know I'm not quite late when I do them!).

SaraRB123 · 17/11/2013 10:35

M33r, I'm using preseed too so fx. Can I ask about grapefruit juice...when do you drink it? Is it before ov?

ImaginaryHat · 17/11/2013 10:45

Choccy I'm so sorry to hear your news, I hope you're getting lots of TLC x

Sazzle and m33r you two deserve your bfps so very much I really do hope you do make the hatrick with funky by the time the years out!

sazzlehopes · 17/11/2013 11:00

Thanks imaginary that is nice thing to say - we all deserve it really! FX december is kind to you. x

*m33r8 - exactly, I too often feel cramps, have off days on food etc etc. Last month I SWORE I felt implantation and probably would have bet my house on it. Anyway ridiculous to guess as i didn't have any symptoms with ds. Nothing. In fact I was one of those lucky few that sailed through pregnancy without a hint of sickness, nausea, heartburn, tiredness or anything else anyone complains of! So I really don't know why I look for things this time round!
Glad the grapefruit juice has helped - I noticed a bit more, not loads though but think I started too late - will drink earlier if there is a next time. Getting used to the pineapple too - not so bad at all to eat! Oh and I think I'll give preseed a whirl next month too.

FX you ov soon! Well done on dtd as much as you can though. Yes hope we can make it a hat-trick with funky!

m33r · 17/11/2013 11:06

Hi sara I drink grapefruit to increase cm making dtd easier and helps the wee swimmers to get there ... I think! I just read it on this thread and thought 'why not?!' The extra cm. Could also be down to the dtd-ing... Anything wortha go I say but most ppl on here (like funky!says) it's just the luck of the draw but I'm playing the odds! :-)

SaraRB123 · 17/11/2013 11:27

Thanks lovely, wasn't sure if like the pineapple it needs to be drunk at specific times. I like grapefruit juice and I struggle with cm hence me using preseed so I think I will give it a whirl. Was on the way to a +be opk yesterday but today it's showing up as -be which is a bit weird :-/

m33r · 17/11/2013 11:58

Hi sara yep the opks can do that. Think about how concentrated the pee was and time of day and stuff. You should maybe also do them a couple of times a day. Not hugely convenient I know. I get that quite often and sometimes get what looks like a pos on IC then get a neg on diggie. It's not full proof. I don't suppose anything is. Just keep dtd-ing I think. Grapefruit and preseed shld help. Keep us posted on the opk sticks.

m33r · 17/11/2013 12:02

sara what cycle are you on?

SaraRB123 · 17/11/2013 12:03

Aww m33r you're so lovely answering my newbie questions - thank you. My opk first thing this morning was a definite negative but will try again in a bit and see what's happening. We are dtd every other day at the moment so fingers crossed we've got everything covered. I got all excited yesterday at the prospect of ov'ing as I've not had AF yet since coming off the pill almost 4 weeks ago, so I felt things were finally starting to work and this was our first real chance at ttc but maybe it isn't time yet? Was all excited expecting to be able to join the 2ww soon, but maybe not yet Hmm

SaraRB123 · 17/11/2013 12:04

Well, I'm counting this as cycle 1 until I get AF as I haven't bled since coming off the pill almost 4 weeks ago x

ImaginaryHat · 17/11/2013 12:20

Sara the cheapy opks that I use say dont use them 1st thing, so I never use fmu for them. Yours look like they might be the same ones so maybe just try a bit later on and see what happens.

SaraRB123 · 17/11/2013 12:30

Funnily enough, I've just done another one and it has got a line, not dark enough to be +be yet I'd say but at least there's a line whereas this morning there wasn't any at all. Just re-read the instructions and it doesn't say don't use them in the morning? How odd? Thank goodness for this thread else I'd never have known that hshaha. Thanks imaginary Grin

m33r · 17/11/2013 12:36

Yep, sara as imahinary says, they don't work with FMU. It helps if you've not been for three hours and don't drink too much. You want a concentrated sample. Have fun! ;-) and no problem answering questions ; I was so grateful when I was new so always try to help now I'm an old hand!

spinningirl10 · 17/11/2013 13:01

I'm trying not to symptom spot but it's hard!!

Not even sure if I ov'd but if I did it would have been last weekend so I've decided I'm 8dpo Grin......I'm so rubbish at waiting!! :)

SaraRB123 · 17/11/2013 13:06

Oh bless you m33r, I'm sure you'll be a new hand again soon in the early stages of pregnancy Wink

Ok so it seems I will be taking opks to work with me from here on in!! Thanks again. Is it gross to keep them to compare?! I've kept mine since Thursday (haven't kept them before that) mainly just to compare to see if the line is actually getting any darker and it's not my imagination lol

DinkyMole · 17/11/2013 13:09

I keep mine for a couple of days. I also test twice a day with OPKs, once at about 10am and then again about 6pm after not drinking for 3 hours.

m33r · 17/11/2013 13:14

I keep mine on the bedside table with the date written on them. I'm sure it is gross but ... Well... If that's what it takes! :-)

SaraRB123 · 17/11/2013 13:57

True! Haha the things we do hey Wink I've got myself all excited that ovulation is happening and although I'd be over the moon to fall pregnant in cycle 1 I'm just excited at the prospect of AF arriving proving that this body of mine is still in full working order!! I'm off out food shopping soon so going to pick up some grapefruit juice I think...is it any type of juice?

SaraRB123 · 17/11/2013 13:58

Ps, mine are tucked away in a drawer in my dressing table...OH would think id gone nuts keeping little sticks I've peed on!!!
