Got a smiley face on my opk this morning....very excited!

toots123 · 13/05/2014 06:55

Yey kitty!! Wine later to celebrate! :)

KittyVonCatsington · 13/05/2014 07:05

Might make myself a cheeky Pimms when I get home from work Wink

This cycle was so long, that I am more relieved to start again and it didn't drag on longer, although would have loved to have really had a bean. Getting proper AF pains though so hoping this is an actual period based on a late ov.

Really hope that cycle wasn't a sign more sinister things are going on.

Kick started my new fertility app just now and ready to put the first bbt temp in tomorrow morning!

Wahey Kitty! Not often we >high five< af's arrival!! CD1 has arrived at last. Smile

AF due tomorrow. No cramps. Just sore boobs and lots of wind!!Blush

SSSSSYMPTOM!!?????

toothachereturns · 13/05/2014 07:10

Waffle - any news?
Chaircat - come on.... it's nearly Saturday! Wink

mistywillow17 · 13/05/2014 07:21

Yay for AF Kitty! Still nothing here since the brown spotting, but tests say a big fat no, so far. Difficult to tell whether it's too early, as my cycle is so random at the moment.

(geek alert) I have two different tracking apps on the go, one says AF should have started yesterday, the other, not til Friday. Just hoping I haven't missed AF entirely for non-upduffed reasons - I hate not knowing what is going on with my body!

spinningirl10 · 13/05/2014 07:22

MorningGrin

Thanks for new thread kitty and hope you enjoyed your pims. Good luck next cycle.

Missmrs, yay a poas buddy, I can't promise not to poas from 10dpo though!!

Well after the positive opk we dtd last night, possibly the worst shag we've ever had but we did laugh about it!! Dp hates to dtd on demand. Anyway the pressed was ok but chickened out of using the softcup incaSe I did it wrong and wasted the swimmers! I'll have to practice using them I think! Hopefully dtd again later and then have a restGrin

Anyone poas today?

PerpetualStudent · 13/05/2014 07:29

"Well, it'a been a busy few days at work, I'll just catch up on the May bus thread, won't take long"

Famous last words!

It's all been going on here! Congrats to English & Ginger, boo for everyone AF got (apart from you Kitty, power to you on the new cycle!) & apologies to anyone whose had news I've not remembered!

So, update with me, AF/BFP due around Fri, been having a few cramps & various little twinges that might be symptoms but first cycle off pill so who the hell knows

Caved in this morning & did my 1st POAS! It was an internet cheapie (is that what ic stands for?) It was, fairly predictably, a BFN. Squinted at it like a mad woman for 10 mins, trying to covince myself there was a faint shadow imaginary line, but to no avail.
Still, it's not over until AF sings, & as it's just 1st cycle, I suppose I shouldn't feel too gutted, as it's at least would be a sign things are ticking over properly post-pill...

PerpetualStudent · 13/05/2014 07:31

The arrival of AF, I mean (being a sign of normal cycles)

SoMuchFruit · 13/05/2014 07:40

A new thread!

Have to go and catch up with the end of the old one - missed a bit!

I wasn't going to POAS until tomorrow (AF due) after the very faint line yesterday but obviously I caved. POAS last night at 5.30pm and again this morning at 6.30am! And as if that POAS craziness wasn't enough I also tried a OPK and made a chart... Blush

Lines may be getting darker but then I could be fooling myself. Weirdly the OPK came up very quickly and also the test line was quite a bit darker than the control line.. according to peestickparadise this is a postive OPK HPT result (Acronym madness) ..

So anyway. Here are a couple of pics. I am clearly insane. Not taking this as a 'real' pregnancy until there is some sort of line that's more than a whisper.

BTW, please could someone take my BFP off the BFP list ? It's just too early to celebrate this. Will wait and see what happens first.

Thanks Smile

SoMuchFruit · 13/05/2014 07:43

Just asking but.. could it be possible that my HPT strips have rubbish dye ? Or am I clutching at straws here ?

It's just the OPK came up quick and dark..

Serenitysutton · 13/05/2014 07:51

Yay kitty. Thanks mmm- period in full flow today so I'm firmly on the bus. This month I am
Going to concentrate on relaxing as well as-
EPO days 1-14
Opk
That sperm meets egg plan
Conceive plus gel
More exercise

EnglishGirlAbroad · 13/05/2014 08:00

Yay for af arriving Kitty, thats how i felt after my mammoth 43 day Bike last month. Hopefully temping will shed some light on your cycles.

SoMuch Fruit - it appears that your lines are getting darker!! Yay! Treat yourself to a posh test now! And ditch the shitty cheapies! Wink Smile

lindamagoo · 13/05/2014 08:05

SoMuch your lines are defo getting darker huni Smile

Waffleyversatile · 13/05/2014 08:10

Kitty hoorah that Af has finally arrived- what a witch to keep you waiting.

BFN for me this morning on CD 31, approx 4-5 days late. Not even a hint of a line on it so def not pregnant. looks like i will be playing the waiting game a bit longer. Just miffed as based on my regular cycle we should be having another go this week.

SoMuchFruit · 13/05/2014 08:12

English & Linda - I am waiting until I have actually missed AF to buy a fancy test. She's due tomorrow. If she hasn't shown up by Thurs/Fri I will buy one.

I am just being scared careful not to get my hopes up.

lindamagoo · 13/05/2014 08:20

SoMuch I was the same, got the faint lines on ic's for a couple of days before af then did a FRER the day af was due and got an instant/clear BFP Smile

SoMuchFruit · 13/05/2014 08:51

I hope it will all be OK Linda and I get the same result as you Smile

spinningirl10 · 13/05/2014 09:05

Somuch, I can't see your lines as I'm on my phone but I have everything crossed for you, it's all sounding good for you so far.

For anyone thinking about using softcups, I've had a try with one this morning and they are really easy to use. I was a little worried about getting it out but it came out ok after a little fish aroundBlush I even popped one back in with a little bit of preseed just incase there are some swimmers still there......yes I am mad!!!

MissMrsMummy · 13/05/2014 09:52

Yay Kitty thanks goodness for AF so you can have a fresh start!

spinning I will probably test early too if I don't get the dreaded spotting!

somuch the lines appear to be getting darker so fx when you try another test!

ChandlersFarang · 13/05/2014 10:28

Thanks a mil for the stats and the new bus!!

I'm joyriding on this one, only on CD8! Am enjoying all of your posts, SYMPTOM spots and strengthening BFPs!!

My stats are ChandlersFarang, ttc#1, cycle #3, BFP due 2-12 June (...cycles still recovering from pill).

MrsMiss & spinning, thanks a mil for the UK shopping advice!! Maybe I should just do an Amazon order for the thermometer/cups/Preseed... Hmm... Will see how I fare this cycle. It's still early days for me I guess!

HKat · 13/05/2014 10:43

Hi Everyone! I'm joyriding too at this point as still only on cd15 but have been lurking lots! Lovely to see the BFPs that have arrived so far (especially the feline one!) - and your AF finally, Kitty! Fx for all those in limbo right now - it's hard going.

I'm not sure what's going on with me this month either - I had random bleeding a few days ago that came out of nowhere (on only cd12) and I haven't had a smiley face yet either. Had lots of ewcm last night so was expecting the smiley today, but nope! Meh.

kurama · 13/05/2014 10:55

i think im out this month Sad officially 1 day late and another big fat no, then a bit of blood when wiping (tmi) and starting with cramps. im absolutely gutted but as dh said least we can have fun Wink on hol.
