Morning SaRaRa, I'm ok, still cramping but I think I'm going to get af today. Pretty sure it must be with it being first month off the pill that it feels so bad Hmm I'm happy though as it means af is coming exactly when she's due so hopefully the pill hasn't messed up my cycle Smile

missmrsmummy · 07/03/2014 07:33

Morning! Think I'm coming to the end of my fertile window but want to use Opks for a few days in case of late ov (like last month)

Question 1: do you have to use fmu for ic opks?
Question 2: do you have to wait 4 hours after urination to test with ics?

Thanks! Happy Friday Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 07/03/2014 07:46

Missmrs, you're not meant to use fmu with IC opks, it can give you a false reading. The best time to do them is between 10am and 7pm. I usually do mine at lunchtime, then again at dinner time.
It doesn't matter how concentrated your urine is.

Concentrated as in you haven't got to wait 4 hours

Ah, thanks choccy!

toots123 · 07/03/2014 07:54

Clear blue opks say fmu, surely that would also give a false reading?

Ive been looking on the bright side of not being pg. We have a trip to disney land booked in may and im realising I might be able to go on the rollercoasters which is exciting! Saying that, if I get a bfp this month I'll be about 12 weeks when we fly so that might be interesting but never mind! Haha

CagedMango · 07/03/2014 07:55

Lemon I'm sorry to hear it. Safe travels and I hope your trip is ok.

bellaboo88 · 07/03/2014 07:58

Been on my app, I normally get spotting 12dpo/13dpo....so that's today or tomorrow...my cycle is 32daysish so I'd prefer my lp to stay the same either way.

Had flushed fmu before I woke up as at 2am the duvet was viciously stolen :-( super king too, pffttt!!!

English wasn't expecting fanny waxer!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/03/2014 07:59

Retro - ask away!
Kate - yes, unfortunately I do indeed also wax bums, but also legs and arms and eyebrows! Did work as a full blown beauty therapist in the uk, but waxing is all that was goin over here when I moved. Seems the Dutch have only just caught on to Brazilian waxing!

My BFP date is going to be different seen as I still haven't fecking ovulated! In a grump about it now!!

Wineandchoccy · 07/03/2014 08:02

I've tested this morning and BFN Sad no AF yet though so still on the bus. I don't want to go to the toilet today in case I see blood.

I'm 14dpo today, cd41.

I'm not a teacher either I'm a sales rep for a dental company.

lindamagoo · 07/03/2014 08:05

Lemon I'd keep my fingers crossed if I was you. Has there been anymore bleeding?

Allthequeenshorses · 07/03/2014 08:06

Not a teacher either.....solicitor. Yesterday was particularly tricky sitting in court with all this wooshing around my head. Still light bleeding. Did another test this morning and still positive. I don't know whats going on.

Lemon, sorry to hear that and hope you are ok. Safe trip.

Thanks all for your support and fx for you.

Sparrowlegs248 · 07/03/2014 08:27

Not a teacher - work for the local authority. Yawn...

English! Never would have thought you were a fanny waxer!! Lol!

Allthequeens - friend on mine tested v.early and just kept testing til she got her bfp. She had spotting shortly after and thought the worst. BUT she went on to have a normal pregnancy and has a lovely baby girl now. Just wanted to add a positive story.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/03/2014 08:30

Maybe my mn name should be FannyWaxerAbroad?!! Grin

Choccywoccydodah · 07/03/2014 08:30

Toots, those ones are different to the ics.

Allthequeens are your tests getting darker.

Morning all. Not at work today with this horrible (what i presume is a) chest infection.
CD15 and still flashing smiley.

(hides at the back of the bus worrying what all the non-teachers have planned for us!)

Allthequeenshorses · 07/03/2014 08:37

Nottalotta, thank you. Positive stories welcome!!

Choccy, yes. Had 3 faint lines last weekend, then did clear blue and was "pregnant". Did a test last night again and was strong dark line. Wasted a clear blue this morning and was "pregnant". I just need to sit tight I know but it is easier said than done....

Cineraria · 07/03/2014 08:45

Sorry to hear you're going through this, especially when you're far from home, Lemon.

I'm not a teacher (any longer).

Strangely enough, English, one of my last teaching jobs was to set up a maths, English and ICT course for trainee beauty therapists who needed to do that as part of their apprenticeships and I had a few painful and sticky waxes while they were gaining experience! After that I escaped teaching and went into education consultancy. Nothing to do with the waxing though!

Writerwannabe83 · 07/03/2014 08:53

Morning all - there seems to have been a slowing down on the BFP front Sad

Sorry things are a bit confusing for you both lemon and queenshorses - it must be worrying and infuriating for you!!

I'm not a teacher either although part of me has always wanted to be one. I took a different route though and am a Paediatric Nurse in a Health Visiting Team

Englishgirl - Fanny Waxer!!! haha. You are clearly the bravest woman on this thread!! I mean I've seen some sights in my career but I bet you've seen worse... Grin ps) Do you ever get men wanting the back/crack/sack combo??? Grin

cth1982 · 07/03/2014 08:59

Morning Ladies,

Hands up not a teacher but work in HR which sometimes is like dealing with children..

English I feel your pain - still waiting for ov frustrating isn't it?!?

anybody have fun weekend plans?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/03/2014 09:11

Writer I have indeed seen some sights!! Shock. No never had any back/crack/sack requests, but mostly because the salons i've worked in have been very strict and anti male intimate waxing. Did have an interview here and was told I would have to wax men - I turned the job down on that basis!!

Its very frutrating cth, although I think it could be down to first month using vitex. It says it can shorten or lengthen your cycle during the first month. Will keep dtd regardless.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/03/2014 09:12

Anyone seen Mama?? Hope you're ok and just enjoying life lovely!

Sparrowlegs248 · 07/03/2014 09:23

Mama is o

Sparrowlegs248 · 07/03/2014 09:24

Ugh..... A new 10months plus thread. Just reading it.

lindamagoo · 07/03/2014 09:47

Well af is defo here and I'm actually relieved as the cramps have now settled down, strange but true Smile So I'm off at this stop and I hope not to see many of you on the next bus x
