Just thought I would add a little more detail to my story - in the style of choccy.
Except there's not as much detail to give. After 3 months of trying to follow SMEP we gave up - shift work was making it difficult! So, we just relaxed and had has much sex as we could fit in. Which was actually only 4 times as it happens but there we go.
During the 2ww (which I extended by a couple of days) I felt absolutely exhausted and very emotional - but put that down to difficult time at work. The main clue was my boobs got really sore. I did have a couple of examples of pink tinged ewcm so I'd thought it was AF on the way - but fortunately not.

sazzlehopes · 10/11/2013 16:45

Thanks for the details English. Did you use opk? It's good to hear that just 'relaxing' worked for you. Although paying attention to my cbfm we are trying to just chill out a bit this month easier said than done

englishteacher78 · 10/11/2013 16:49

I bought some - but never used them! I decided I would save them for if it took longer than 6 months. I hate poas or indeed piac. I'd rather give myself a blood test!

JellyBeanDavey · 10/11/2013 16:56

Congrats choccy!! Thanks How many CD's are you? Gives me hope.

VJONES1985 · 10/11/2013 16:56

english Presumably you peed on a pg test though? ;-)

englishteacher78 · 10/11/2013 16:58

VJONES - yup - awful process!

VJONES1985 · 10/11/2013 16:59

What don't you like about it?

englishteacher78 · 10/11/2013 17:05

The peeing part. My DH doesn't help. He's so nervous about it I did another test to show him and his first words were 'that's cool'. His next words were 'get that away from me now'.

VJONES1985 · 10/11/2013 17:08

Really? I'm fine with bodily functions but I don't think anyone loves weeing on things, ha ha.

m33r · 10/11/2013 17:39

spinning I use the ICs until the line gets equally dark-ish then crack open the digis to have it confirmed. This is better too as the digis come up with more lh so you really pinpoint the surge. This means you can use less diggies and save money! Hope it helps ! Oh, also, - and I imagine this isn't helpful - when it's darker it's really really really obvious!

spinningirl10 · 10/11/2013 17:49

Thanks M33r that is really helpful and a good idea!

I'll get some cb ones as well tomorrow and do that :)

mama31 · 10/11/2013 17:50

Hey ladies! :)

onelife the 2ww is going ok for me so far! 5dpo so I'm not really freaking out yet or going potty symptom spotting! Feel rubbish today but putting that down to the cocktails last night (whoops, one too many!) I also had really odd cm today...like ewcm...but it was yellow tinged/very stretchy (sorry tmi) strange though haven't noticed that before I don't think!

Onelife how many dpo are you now?? Stay positive! It could be your month!!! ;)

Skyblue Yes bfp due 15th but that's based on a 23 day cycle and I ovulated later this month so I'm expecting af a bit later sometime between 15-18th really! But yes the pineapple is great lol

Vjones your LP seems longer :) good luck!!!!!! Hope you get your bfp!!!! :)

VJONES1985 · 10/11/2013 17:52

mama Yes it is, thanks :-)

m33r · 10/11/2013 17:58

No problem spinning. I check in most days so let me know if you have any worries or questions. Just another tip - which people may find disgusting! - I keep the sticks so you can compare the lines and hopefully see them gradually get darker ... Then lighter again! Good luck

spinningirl10 · 10/11/2013 18:09

haha M33r great minds think alike! I popped mine in my bedside table to compare with further tests! :)

m33r · 10/11/2013 18:13

We're all mad! That's where I keep mine... In a nice meat row! :-)

m33r · 10/11/2013 18:20

Sorry, 'neat' row. There is no 'meat'!!

onelifeonechance · 10/11/2013 18:23

Mama, i'm excited by your cm, lol!!! Sounds promising, think anything different from the norm is always potentially a v good sign, fx Smile

Sazzle&Mama, i'm between 9-11dpo. FF changed my date, but not sure what to go with as don't trust my temps as v erratic (user error!, Lucy, I sooo don't get it either, all v confusing, but i'm going to persist!) Think i'm more 9 than 11. Af due Thurs. Sazzle, fx for peak tmrw&yes get dtd!!!!! Go, go, go!!!!!! Grin

spinningirl10 · 10/11/2013 18:27

lol M33r I think it helps to be a little mad in this crazy ttc world!

Mama different cm could be a good sign! Of course it could be all the pineapple that's making it yellowish, lol :)

onelifeonechance · 10/11/2013 18:28

Nottalotta, read back and saw you've popped in, hello Smile Sorry you're feeling frustrated, we're on same cycle and can def say i've had those feelings too. What's your dh saying abut everything now? Is he on board with having more of a plan/trying opks etc, or still keen to just see how it goes?

HalfPintLulu · 10/11/2013 19:28

I've been keeping my opks too - today I even went as far as sticking them in a note book with a list of symptoms on each day! Bit crazy but will be good to look back if I don't get a BFP this month.

Like FF, but not quite so confusing!

According to opks I've ovulated today, but OH is away until tomorrow night so hopefully we've done enough BDing in the last week... Suppose I'll find out in 2 weeks ;)

crazylady2013 · 10/11/2013 20:58

Well ladies, I'm off the bus. AF has arrived but it is not unexpected. Haven't put in the work this month as was down with the flu over my fertile window. Will have to try harder next month.
Congrats to all those that got their BFPs and here's hoping that I won't see too many of the rest of you on the Dec bus.

DinkyMole · 10/11/2013 21:14

Sorry crazylady SadThanks Hope you're feeling better and good luck for December Smile

mama31 · 10/11/2013 21:26

Sorry crazylady!!! Good luck for December!!

Well I've just noticed my usual pre af spot I get on my chin 1 week before af usually arrives :/ bugger!!!!!

m33r · 10/11/2013 21:31

No mama! Keep the faith! I'm still only on cd4-ish so sending you everything I've got. Prayers, crossed fingers, good vibes. Believe missy!!!!! I'm crossing everything!
