Sorry AF got you Me.
Kato- don't worry about how much you dtd. I was sure we hadn't caught in April because we only dtd twice the week of ovulation.

Cupcake- you need to distract yourself somehow from the 2ww!! Did you get some sleep today?

kitkatkaty87 · 16/05/2014 17:33

I just did an opk. Forgot how lovely it is to see a line come up on a stick - even if does mean nothing!

Ducky23 · 16/05/2014 17:42

Yayy positive opk Grin

How many people are left on here waiting to get their BFP's? I feel like we've fallen in numbers!

LuluJakey1 · 16/05/2014 17:52

We are having a date night! DH rang me to say get changed 'cos we are going out for a date. Wonder what that means?

LuluJakey1 · 16/05/2014 17:54

I am not getting dressed up- know DH too well. It won't be posh, whatever it is.

Ducky23 · 16/05/2014 17:59

Oooohhh lulu how swanky! Let us know where your going! Hope it's not like the one time ever DH took me on a date, he took me to a 'mr sizzle' burger van in town Hmm haha

LuluJakey1 · 16/05/2014 18:07

Has just come in. With bunch of flowers which was sweet. So I asked what might be appropriate to wear. He looked taxed by that question and eventually said 'Those blue flat shoes, a pretty dress but nothing flash and a cardi'. No sounding swanky to me. Will not tell me where we are going. Is in shower. Has got himself jeans and his favourite pinky red shirt with white flowers on it out (considers it cool!) Will report back later.

Bugaboom · 16/05/2014 18:37

Date night- how lovely! Have fun

MrsPopple29 · 16/05/2014 19:37

Have a lovely eve lulu!

Just did a third OPK, I know what you mean kitkat, I was looking at the two dark lines imagining it was a pregnancy test!

I shall take the '3 days in a row' advice and get on it!

kitkatkaty87 · 16/05/2014 19:52

Hehe. Mine wasn't evening positive, nearly but not quite. Still made me happy though. I'm a sad woman!! Enjoy lulu. I'm still waiting my bfp ducky!

OP posts:
Ducky23 · 16/05/2014 20:16

I never actually got a positive opk, I think that is just because I drank before doing them, no way I could not drink for that long! Grin

We shall hae lots of BFP's soon!

Cupcake92 · 16/05/2014 20:25

Hahaaaa Ducky! A mr sizzle burger van ! That made me laugh! The first date me and my DH ever had was a a drive through McDonald's to get a flake mcflurry as they are my fav :p haha.

Have a nice time lulu! Enjoy!

And yes I need a distraction from this tww, I'm off to the baby show tomorrow so that rele ain't gonna help!
And no I didn't manage any sleep :(

Ducky23 · 16/05/2014 20:32

I know he's so romantic! Grin

MrsMck1 · 16/05/2014 20:37

I'm still waiting. .. Another week to go still :-(. No symptoms or anything so just got to keep fx

BearsInMotion · 16/05/2014 21:05

I think we got our dates wrong this month, will need to dtd more next time, DP will be delighted Grin.

That's if he's still in one piece, he has gone ice skating tonight with work - he is the worst skater I have ever seen!

LuluJakey1 · 16/05/2014 22:20

Well date night was a walk by the river in Durham and a meal in a nice country pub restaurant we used to go to. DH has been very funny and a bit soppy- 3 pints and he's a softie. I drove us home and we had a competition to see who could come up with the most song titles with the word baby in. He won- very pleased with himself. living life on the edge in the north of England.
I am soooo tired and it's just 10.15! I think DH is hoping for a bit of a thrash around but his luck is out tonight. See what tomorrow morning brings. Grin

Ticktick · 16/05/2014 22:26

I'm expecting to ov next week, doing opks daily just to see if I can pin point ov. Trying so hard to chill out and enjoy dtd. Dh birthday next week so bought some treats from lovehoney ;) My positive thought at the mo is a vision of me being pregnant by Christmas. Positive thinking all the way :)

macmissy · 17/05/2014 05:20

ahhh Lulu love a date night! we try to have a monthly one & can be anything (person who picks pays and we alternate) Grin I hope we carry it on when we're married and with tons of mini us running about!

I did an opk yesterday & was really faint like the same as the day before my positive opk last month. but that'll only be cd6 (today) is this too early to ovulate? my body drives me mad! I wish I knew what it was doing best part of the time! (last month my positive opk was on cd14 btw)

Cupcake92 · 17/05/2014 07:03

Mac I had faint positive on CD 8 n thought I was ovulating but then got a mega solid one on CD 15
Hope that helps! :)

Well in off to the baby show today! So excited!! I'll let u all know what freebies I get hehe :p

MrsPopple29 · 17/05/2014 07:52

Ah lulu I went to Durham uni and fell in love with the place! Really miss it even now. Glad you had such a nice eve.

Macmissy I think it is possible to ov that early but unlikely if your last cycle was 14... I'm reading a book by Zita West '10 steps to maximise fertility', and it explains the cycle really well! It's a good read Smile

Now the excitement of ovulation is almost over I'm starting to dread the tww...

Ducky23 · 17/05/2014 08:04

I think for it to be positive the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control doesn't it? But that never worked for me cus I always have a drink in my had Grin

Imustbecrazy26 · 17/05/2014 09:29

Boom glad everything went well at the scan!

Lulu love having date night glad you had a good time.

Ducky bet DH loving your boobs lol!

Well I have got loads to do to day as we are finally going n honeymoon tomorrow and haven't started packing of cleaning the house yet!!! We have started dtd yesterday and today so a good start for honeymoon baby I am so excited about it! DD is not so excited as she is going to her dads for nearly 2 weeks and am now feeling guilty about not taking her!!!

Cupcake92 · 17/05/2014 13:48

4 DPO and having major AF like cramps :(

lillamyy1 · 17/05/2014 13:49

Hi ladies! Hope you're all enjoying the gorgeous weather!
[Grin] at your burger van date cupcake! And lulu, your date night sounds really lovely!
I don't think we've dtd nearly enough this week. My tww is just beginning now, but not too hopefull. DP reckons we've been successful, don't know why Confused

MrsPopple29 · 17/05/2014 14:43

Lilamy, sounds like we're due BFPs at similar times... Think poppet is the same too... It's going to be eventful on here in two weeks!

Sounds promising cupcake :)
