Lovely sammy! We are off to america in a couple of weeks and had hoped to be going pregnant but thats not the case.
if bfp this month I would be 30ish weeks when we are off in the winter so probably best waiting a month or two before booking :)

Hanflan the opk will only show + for pregnancy later, not sensitive enough this early and the test line has to be as dark as or darker than the control line

hanflan · 06/05/2014 20:05

Thanks Linda. Have no idea what it is then, I know it's not LH as my temps have been gradually rising since ovulation and cervix is high. Maybe just a duff bastardstick Sad

lindamagoo · 06/05/2014 20:14

There's always lh in your system so most of the time an opk will have some sort of line on it but it's only + for ov if it's as dark as or darken than the control line aswell so don't worry about there being a line

KittyVonCatsington · 06/05/2014 20:18

Could be a progesterone surge, hanflan, but I'm only guessing. Implantation normally happens from 7dpo to 12dpo, so you might have a fertilised bean but not at the stage where HCG is produced.....yet!!!

I wish we could just wave a magic wand and have someone tell us exactly what I'd going on in our bodies!

Thanks Kitty. I've put the bastardsticks away. No more poas until much closer to due date!

rambini · 06/05/2014 20:54

Evening, hope everyone is okay. Dont know whats wrong with me tonight, feeling very down and lonely Sad Want to curl up and cry but have no idea why.
Sorry to those Af has got. Bitch.

KittyVonCatsington · 06/05/2014 21:01

I'll join you rambini and we can curl up and both cry. It can get a bit all encompassing, can't it?

Shouted at DH (could be PMS??!!) and am now wondering if a cheeky DTD will help kick start AF, or is that taking it a step too far?!

feeling like absolute shite at mo, woke up with a seized shoulder this morn and still feeling sick most of day, eaten almost nothing again, which is unusual the week before af due. normally cant stop eating!
also not sure if because of the rain storm thats about to hit, but my arthiritis has been really playing up in my hips and back. in bloody agony at work. also hardly drinking tea. now on cup 3 instead of normal 6-10cups.....hope everyone is ok this week
RAWR!!!

KittyVonCatsington · 06/05/2014 21:45

That sucks kurama-so sorry you are in pain: today is nearly over..

hi all, been off for a couple of days, and everytime I come back on, theres so many new names!

So glad to read of the bfp's for this month..now...I dtd on 27th April...not sure of my cycle days etc as its been very irregular..but I remember my af starting between 12th - 15th April..

Ive felt a few cramping pains these past few days, and fell into temptation to poas...
well this morning after so many bfn's ...I got a very feint positive...so, with me not knowing my dates etc..could this be a 'false positive' what ive read about?

rambini · 06/05/2014 22:20

Thanks Kitty.
Now...I think I would like to take this weeks prize for "dedication to the cause".
A child at school accidently cut me with sharp scissors, quite badly. 2 fingers were half severed. Anyway, I got all first aided and patched up but am still in a lot of pain and have to keep it elevated to stem the bleeding as it kept bleeding through. But....today was my 2nd peak...I couldnt ignore that!
SHAME ALERT
So I may have dtd, with my arm elevated the whole time and still half dressed as I couldnt get my top half clothes off! Blush
You would think it stopped there. But no. Apparantly my crazy knows no limits. When dh was struggling to finish coz lets face it, whats NOT sexy about a bleeding half dressed maniac waving an arm in the air I simply yelled at him to, verbatim, "dig deep! You are not the one bleeding!" Blush Blush Blush

kurama · 06/05/2014 22:51

lol rambini cant ignore a peak even if ur at deaths doorWink tobi it could be but as your not sure of your dates it could be real. id poas again either wed or thurs to see if lines still there/any darker.
it sucks as I hate having to take painkillers but wont sleep at all if I dont. laying down on right side hurts but cant lay on back or left as my necks worse!. if I was a horse I would have been shot years ago is a very common phrase when ppl are talking to me....Sad ah well if my bodies trying to fix other stuff it might let my little egg get all settled Wink Wink Wink

ChandlersFarang · 07/05/2014 02:48

Rambini - Jesus Christ!!! That's the stuff of absolute legend!! Grin well done. That accident sounds harrowing - glad the essential feelings of arousal can shine through any pain barrier!! And you're still one-handed typing on here too - WineWine for you!!

Kurama I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling great!! Some of those things could def be SYMPTOMS tho right? How long til you poas?

theduchesse · 07/05/2014 04:38

That's dedication rambini. The aware is all yours.

Sorry to those in limbo or caught by the witch since I was last on. That sucks. Kitty, when I don't ovulate I also don't get af at all I just have a double cycle of 60 days or so. I know I ovulate in the second cycle because in one of those DS was conceived. Could this happen with you?

Hello to all the newbies! What a nice full bus!
Good luck to you all

MrsE good luck with everything. We will miss you very much.

I've woken up with tummy ache. Witch is due Friday, and I fear she is on her way. Stay away witch!! Sad

toots123 · 07/05/2014 07:11

Sorry your not feeling great kurama and glad you didn't miss your peak rambini!!

well im a week into the tww now. But have decided I will not test until im deff late. So next Friday or Saturday if I can hold out :)

any news kitty?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/05/2014 07:53

Morning Ladies! Still no full on af, but still kind of spotting. Brown stuff yesterday. TMI alert - dtd last night, as its not crucial time i went straight to the loo after, swimmers mixed with pale blood, but nothing really this morning. Was hoping dtd might give the witch a kick up the arse. Temp back up a bit today! Total head fuck.

Kitty, sorry you're still in limbo. My last (anov)cycle was 44 days, hope yours ends soon. It is crap. Have you thought about seeing a dr??
Sorry you're feeling crap too Kurama.
Rambini - massive high five for your dedication to the cause!! Hope it does the trick this cycle!

Come on ladies, chin up, tits out! Positivity needed!! We WILL get our bfps and for those of us struggling - it'll be even more special when we do! Smile

kurama · 07/05/2014 08:36

chandlers if the clomid continues making my body follow the same pattern then im due on sun... 5daysGrin RAWR!

kurama · 07/05/2014 08:38

I hate my phone right now.....

Spotti · 07/05/2014 08:57

Bless you kurama - that phone of yours really is taking the piss isn't it? >chuckles<

I peed on my last OPK of this month (still got about half a bag of ICs left which I obviously won't need cos I'll be upduffed ) and got a very very faint second line soooo I've given OH some time off DTD on demand - it's just for funsies now Wink. Based on the OPKs I'm pretty sure we managed to DTD around the right time this month (DTD cd13, 15, 16 - +ve OPK on cd16) although I'm a bit worried that we didn't do anything after that...we did plan to DTD on cd18 but life got in the way...hope those little swimmers stuck around!

If it's not worked this month then I'll know we need to keep at it for a few more days after the +ve OPK...

On a SYMPTOMS note not that I'm symptom spotting, my boobs are killing!!! My fanjo keeps doing funny twinge-y things too. Had diddly squat SYMPTOMS last month but had the sore and full boob thing the month before so can't really tell if it's a SYMPTOM or not :-/

Only about 3-5 dpo anyway so it's probably nothing to get excited about.

Looking forward to a day off work tomorrow (I hope the sunshine sticks around so I can get out and enjoy it).

Happy Wednesday ladies!
