The May bus sets off for those who regularly check for their Cervical Lucas, take frolic acid, shout SYMPTOMS, throw out their BastardSticks but then buy more to piss on and just want to be upduffed!

Brand new shiny bus for the 1st May!

Old thread is here

KittyVonCatsington 33, TTC #1, Cycle 6 (early mc cycle 3), BFP ???

Thanks ladies.....Linda is my hope that bfp do come to us older ladies, bring on the next cycle

Just popped on to say massive congrats to Linda! Amazing news!!!!! X

Btw this is Mama31, had to name change due to account issues! (waves at spinning) hope your doing ok lovely.

Probably very silly question but..

So I had a positive opk in the afternoon yesterday, but the evening test showed a much lighter line. Temp was 36.48 yesterday but has gone up to 36.6 today (highest it's been this cycle). Also cervical Lucas is far less than Friday when it was the gushiest (sorry).

Does this mean I have ovulated?

Sorry to hear the witch has arrived spinning. Onwards and upwards for the next cycle, rawr

Oops forgot to thank Kitty for the stats earlier re: the April bus. We're on 2 so far in May then, and it's only the 4th!

Spinning - damn the witch!!!!!!!!

Thanks ladies.....Hi Mama 'waves', good to see you. How are you getting on?

Can I add new stats please:
Spinningirl10 ttc#3, cycle 10, bfp due May 30th

Anyone testing today? I'm just hoping my opk's turn positive soon. Off to a friends BBQ today so at least I won't be able to obsess too much.

Morning.....sorry the witch got you spinning. Go and get your bloods done if you've been trying that long. I was speaking to a friend of mine who is same age and she's had various scans done to check egg reserves and womb lining. Hers is very thin and unlikely to be able to conceive but not impossible.
Chaircat I think temp rises just before ovulation then drops straight after so I'd say go for it!

Don't want to waste another FRER so not POAS, myself duchesse but AF is due tomorrow (CD35 if last 2 cycles anything to go by) so just going to have a 'chillout' day. Yesterday was fab-lunch in a lovely pub garden then sitting in the sun for the rest of their afternoon-bliss! Hope the weather's lovely too, today

When will you test kitty? :)

When will you test kitty? :)

Aaah, huge congrats Linda! Lovely news.
Well, I'm well and truly in the 2 ww but determined not to test too early after cp last cycle.
Jo178, 38, ttc#2, cycle 4,cp 8th April, bfp/AF due 8th May.
Fx for everyone! X

Thank you ladies Im still in shock and starting to freak out a little at the fact I'll be 43 this month and come January I'll be the mum of 3 kids all under 6 years old, eeeeeeeeek!!!

Hi toots and Jo!! I'm going to wait and see if AF turns up tomorrow morning. If not...

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Jo that you are one of the lucky few who are super fertile after an early mc.

Exciting kitty!! Af isnt due for a while yet so hoping for lots of bfp's between now and when I hopefully get mine!!

I'm the same toots. I've got at least 2 weeks to wait, probably more like 3 (haven't ovulated yet and my cycles are all over the place so don't really know when I will) so I just want to see some other people get their bfp's in the meantime.

Congrats Linda!!!!

I'm not feeling too hopeful. No symptoms at all. Just feel very normal. After plenty of DTD over the crucial period I felt so positive but it's dwindling as i get closer to AF due date. 10dpo. Usually have a 12 day lp, so can expect to see her Wednesday.

Go jump your DH spotti, great to hear you've got your +opk. So help a fellow newbie to opk's. Did you go straight from very faint one day to positive the next? My lines have been equally faint every day since I started testing. I'm now cd12, and I wouldn't really expect a positive yet because I have long cycles but I am hoping I will ov in the next week so just want to know what to expect to see.

Oh, I'll also add some 's to help those swimmers reach the egg spotti and everyone else around ov time.

Hi duchesse! Back in Jan when I was using Boots own brand OPK and gradually saw the line get a little bit darker but then it never went the same as the control line and got angry at them!
Feb, I graduated to cb Digi OPKs and I saw the line get darker whenever I took the sticks out and on CD18 on FMU the line was early as dark but still flashing smiley. Tested at 4pm that same day and got a solid smiley and the lines were the same darkness as each other.

Last two cycles on CB digis, haven't really seen the two lines get darker but only tested with FMU; so possibly anovulatory cycles. Will match up with temping next month HTH

Thanks Mel, I'll speak to my doc on Tuesday and she what she says.

Duchess, yes my lines are quite faint on opk's and then it will be dark when you get a positive. I use ic's so that I can test twice a day as also use a CB one when I get a dark line to get the smiley face

Thanks kitty. So how many days before you got your positive did the line start getting darker?

A smiley face would certainly be a bit more satisfying than trying to compare lines spinning. Maybe I'll upgrade to a divi next cycle if I don't get my bfp this time.

Hi duchesse, in my experience this cycle, the line went from light to dark in the space of 24 hours and has gotten marginally lighter over the past few days. My suggestion is to keep a stash of CB OPKs for confirmation if you're unsure

My IC OPKs tend to get gradually darker, then one day it'll be very obviously dark, then fade again the next day.

I've temped as well, and the day I got my +ve was the day my temp started rising on the one normal cycle I seem to have had

Doing both again this cycle, CD 8 today so will be expecting to see it getting slightly darker from now if I'm ovulating on CD12 ('normal' cycle). I'm using them for peace of mind as last month I timed ov by using cervical Lucas and position and was a crucial 6 days out . This way, I have three ways of knowing if and when I ovulated!

morning everyone! sorry the bitch got you spinning.
had a great night watching rammstein tribute band and currently still laid in bed with a cat stretched out next to me only as dh is at work so hes safe of not getting squished lol hope everyone else is ok today

I have slight crampy pains this morn and very vivid dreams last night good luck to anyone poas this bank holiday! go s rawr!
