broody - Ours co sleeps so even even trickier! The first time round it was all mood lighting, massage and agent provocateur pants, now it's 'quick the baby's asleep get into the ensuite and pull your pyjamas down'.

broodylicious · 01/01/2014 21:52

Haha, that sounds familiar!!

MrsF2510 · 01/01/2014 22:25

I agree with Broodylicious, it's bit worth getting too fixated with the odd alcoholic or caffeinated beverage at this stage.

Pebbles - I know the feeling and did think about waiting until the weekend but now I am tempted to test again tomorrow morning!

Also, welcome lh, missing bun, mrs koala and wakey!

pebble82 · 01/01/2014 23:10

I caved an hour ago and retested. Still BFN. Need to get a grip!

queenasanti3 · 01/01/2014 23:20

I was going to wait and test fri/ sat, but think if the witch hasnt come by tomorrow morning which if going by last month's 23 day cycle will mean iam two days late Iam going to go the shops to get some tests as I have none left I tested tue and got a BFN.

Really have the feeling she going to come have period like cramps and feelin very emotional just wish if shes goin to ruin my month she would hurry up a appear all this waiting is driving me crazy Confused x

mum2kiss · 01/01/2014 23:50

We have same stats broody :) when do you plan on testing if Af doesnt arrive on sunday?!

Harry2007 · 02/01/2014 00:08

Don't get disheartened by those bfn's ladies...plenty of time for the bfp's to arrive Smile

I am somewhat baffled by opk's at the moment, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I started to test with clearblue digital opk on cd8 and got a flashing smiley face on cd 10 indicating high fertility. I got another three flashing smiley days up until cd13 and then ran out of the clearblue and had to switch to ebay cheapies (one step). Now I would have assumed that after four high fertility days, that the next day, cd14 would be o-day! However, not only did the ebay stick not indicate ovulation, the line was quite faint. Needless to say, being the poas addict that I am, I tried quite a few more! All the same. Today, cd15, tmi alert, lots of egg white cm, opk still shows quite a faint line.

Any ideas ladies?

mattsmama · 02/01/2014 00:24

Looks like its time out for me ladies : ( AF arrived early - 4 days early - which is actually very unusual for me. Wishing you all the very best of luck ladies!! Looking forward to round two - keep your fingers crossed for me xx

BumpNGrind · 02/01/2014 00:35

Welcome to all the newbies, there's lots of room on this bus, hope this month brings you everything you want. Mattsmamma, hopefully see you at the other end of this month with your bfp.

I was wondering if anyone knew how long after implantation will a bfp show up on a test? I'm having a lots of symptoms and it's so easy to think they are all linked and are going to result in a bfp! Although if it isn't, I need to go and get myself checked out because my boobs have been so painful it's unreal. My 3yo nephew jumped on my earlier and elbowed me in the boobs, I nearly shot through the roof!

Moffit · 02/01/2014 06:23

Do you ever go in to the tww feeling really negative?? We only managed to dtd on cd10 and 13. I'm pretty sure I ovulated yesterday (dont opk or temp) on cd15............we never find the time to dtd at the right time! I'm in the same boat as you Koala have a toddler that co-sleeps and work long shifts with strange hours (was up at 4 today and already been in work over an hour), we had 9 people staying over on NYE, so cd 14 & 15 went out of the window. Is it too late today? Not that we will probably have time, by the time DH comes home from work, I'll be going to bed, for another early start tomorrow?! Hmm

Sorry to start the day on a downer ladies..........just need some reassurance, even though I've already calculated my dates for next month.

Hope there are some BFP's today to cheer me up!! Smile

Choccywoccydodah · 02/01/2014 07:25

Bump it's normally about 4 days after implantation it'll show positive.

Moffit those swimmers can last longer than you think Smile we only dtd twice around ov last month and I fell.

Re the opks, as of yesterday I was still positive! 5 flippin days!! Haven't tested today yet as too early, hoping it'll start fading off soon as having such a long surge I don't actually know now when I ov'd!

Choccywoccydodah · 02/01/2014 07:47

I've just finally found something online that says just take the first positive ov test as the positive and disregard the ones after. Phew!

PunkyPod · 02/01/2014 08:07

BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best wedding present ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheFutureSupremeRulersMum · 02/01/2014 08:13

Congratulations Punkypod Smile

SaltySeaBird · 02/01/2014 08:15

I keep getting on the next bus ...

My cycle seems to have gone AWOL but repeated tests are BFN. Consequently I have no idea when I am due (AF was due Christmas Day). Been temping and it's all over the place.

TTC#2 6 months trying.

PetiteChouette · 02/01/2014 08:17

Congratulations PunkyPod!

Details, please...if you don't mind sharing Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 02/01/2014 08:18

Punkypod eeeeeek! Congratulations!!

HollyBen · 02/01/2014 08:18

Brilliant news punky woooohooooo!

mum2kiss · 02/01/2014 08:29

Congrats punky !!!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 02/01/2014 08:37

Congratulations Punky! Lovely news! Grin

PunkyPod · 02/01/2014 08:38

Thank you ladies!

Details are:
Dtd CDs 10, 14, 17, 18 am/pm, 20.
Positive opks on CDs 17 & 18
EWCM on CD 17
Been getting few AF like cramps and twinges the last couple of days so was thinking she would appear but I think she should be due today so did a cheapy test. No line, a clear negative really but I just decided to bust out a first response because I was feeling a bit flippant and sort of like "what the hell". Anyway, a line clear as day.

Really hope with the craziness of my wedding in 2 weeks it stays sticky.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 02/01/2014 08:41

Congrats Punky!
Hey, Choccy, how you doing with the whole thing at the moment? I haven't started monitoring ovulation with sticks and if I do I wont be sharing the information with DH. I think he finds knowing precisely when to be a little pressurised. Particularly as he works shifts.
I'm not too hopeful about this month - the midwives would hate me anyway as I haven't had a period post MC yet. But I have read that apparently (I assume for hormonal reasons) that your fertility is slightly higher in the 3 months after a MC. Anyone else come across that info.

PunkyPod · 02/01/2014 08:43

Oh and symptom wise I got some cm 2 days ago which I thought was strange. But that's it.

Sleepisf0rwimps · 02/01/2014 08:50

Congratulations punky! A wonderful present for you. Smile

Only 5dpo here and I'm going MAD. Have even been looking at newborn nappies etc. crazy lady.

Hopemummi · 02/01/2014 08:55

Tested last night & got bfn... Don't think I ovulated until sat/ sun though so would it show yet??? Af not arrived. Going to re test at the weekend if the witch still hasn't arrived.
