Ladyflower, love the pre-ovulation symptoms! I am determined to be all unworried this cycle. If I recall correctly, last time round, I didn't even test until 5+2, and I had the tiredness and sore boobs already but nothing else (and even those only for a few days) so I am resolutely writing every little twinge down to general malaise.

We've managed 4 out of 5 of the allegedly fertile days according to my phone apps, might get one more in today if we have any energy left, and then both apps say it's all over anyway so DH will have to try really hard to get any while I collapse in a corner. Grin

Good luck Redbunny! When are you testing? We need an online calendar!

Hey, been watching this thread for ages and am at the same stage as some of you! I came off depo last July and been ttc since then... I'm 22 and DH is 28, this would be our 1st baby... no joy yet but this month should be able to test on 6th July - 2ww is killing me though! Have seen the Dr for scans and bloods in march and all looked good so hoping its just the after effects of the depo slowing things down! baby dust to all! xox

RedBunny · 02/07/2014 20:09

Welcome daisysunshine!
Well I am 12dpo on the 6th which has always been the day I get BFPs so I shall be testing then too! Maybe before then as well though.... Cuz I am a rebel and I hate the two week wait! But anyhow.... I'm very very worried that if it isn't I will be really upset but I'm kind of optimistic for this month.... Like it has to be my month!! I had like the teensiest bit of brown in my cm today once when I wiped and I'm like.... "Implantation bleeding??!!!! Makes sense cuz I thought I felt it two days ago and it takes a couple days for the blood to get out...!!!" But then I stop myself from getting excited by thinking that's actually super rare and it's probably just something else going on... Sigh.

RedBunny · 02/07/2014 20:12

How is everyone else holding up? Better than me I hope. The only thing I'm doing better this month is having stocked up on superdrug early tests on the buy one get one half price so at least I can obsessively test again and not be spending £££ on first response. I'm scared to think how much I've spent on pregnancy tests the last year....

daisysunshine2 · 02/07/2014 20:54

I'm feeling exactly the same! I've gone opposite, haven't even let myself have tests in the house so that I don't obsess! (So instead doing the alternative of trawling the internet for every feeling I get!) have had lots of cramps the last week which isn't normal for me.. Hope your signs are good ones and you get your BFP! Xxx

newbie6 · 02/07/2014 21:51

Hi all,

Good luck red bunny, hope this is your month! I'm now 3dpo I think and bizarrely don't think I am obsessed this time? Have decided if I can I will wait until 11th July to test which would be day before my AF is due. Don't want to get my hopes up like last 2 times and then get disappointed :( felt slightly crampy last night and today but who knows!

ladyflower23 · 02/07/2014 22:04

Welcome daisysunshine!
Well done on almost making it to the end of your shagathon pinpan. Mine is only just beginning...
Yeh redbunny, i have decided NOT to think about the amount of money I have spent on HPTs/OPKs this year...or to reveal to DH the full extent of sticks that I have purchased.
Talking of which, I tested with one of my cheapie OPKs tonight and still no surge!!!!! I was really expecting to get a positive this evening Sad like a true addict I'm about to go and POAS again just in case my wee was too diluted last time! I have my last hormonerator stick left now, so if I don't get a surge tomorrow, I'm going to have to spend even more £s buying another one. AGH!!!!! This baby is costing me a fortune before it's even conceived!!

RedBunny · 02/07/2014 23:07

Oh Ladyflower I've had the hardest time not POAS this evening. I'm 8dpo!!! I've just read about some people getting positives this early and I can't help but think "it'd be so cool if I was one of them!" And it's not helped that my husband was out this evening as well. It makes testing too accessible to me!! Fortunately I restrained myself but for how long!! I feel like I'm gonna test tomorrow for sure..... And disappoint myself!

pinpan · 03/07/2014 01:15

Don't do it Redbunny! Wait til 10 dpo at least. And I'll give you a shiny gold star if you can hang out til 12 dpo. Grin

RedBunny · 03/07/2014 07:27

Ooh a shiny gold star.... Well I could do with one.... It's been a long time since I got one!!
It's horrible waiting isn't it? I'm now 9dpo and going by all my past pregnancies I've only got 3 days left (til 12dpo) to get a definitive answer!! Then I can't help but think I'm probably not pregnant and it feels like ages to wait to get back to ovulation time for another shot!! I hate ttc!! It feels like so much work!!

ladyflower23 · 03/07/2014 07:41

Well done Redbunny, I am impressed that you resisted when alone in the house with all them sticks!
POAS addiction is ruining my sleep now. I woke up early excited about peeing on my dual hormone and it was another flashing smiley!!! Nooooooooo. Where's my surge?!!! I've now used up all those ones, so will just have to obsessively pee on my Amazon cheapies. Oh yeh and remember to have sex because that might help!
Newbie & Redbunny - at what time of the day did you get your solid smileys? And when using the ones with lines, does the test line gradually get darker as LH day approaches or can it suddenly go from light one day to dark the next? I knew these would make me stressed!

ladyflower23 · 03/07/2014 08:25

O.M.G!!!! I just did AMazon cheapie 2 hours after CB digi and I'm surging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excitement plus and happy dance...let's get it on!!!!!!!!!!!

ladyflower23 · 03/07/2014 08:26

POAS addiction can pay off on occasion

RedBunny · 03/07/2014 08:30

Indeed Ladyflower! I always detect my surge at lunchtime/ afternoon but I've read that's because it usually starts mid morning. So makes sense. Go you! Go get a baby!! We need more BFPs on our thread!

RedBunny · 03/07/2014 12:45

My pregnancy tests are here! I've got 6 sitting in my bathroom cupboard.... My thinking was knowing my luck I won't be pregnant again and I can keep them til next time. But it's hard to know I have so many and not use one!!! I know they are extra sensitive but someone tell me it's silly to test anyway....??

TerrysNo2 · 03/07/2014 14:53

Hi all

I've been away for a few days the last 2 weeks so have been reading on my phone but its too painful to type on there!

Ladyflower does surging mean ovulating? Just checking!! If so I hope you are DTD Wink I have just used my first OPK and got a positive straight away, I was meant to start testing on Sunday but as I was away it was too much hassle. CD14 today of a 28 day cycle so I am not surprised but always impressed how predictable my body is! Now I just have to get on with seducing DH again!

RedBunny I admire your patience. I give you permission to test BUT as you're only 9dpo it might not be accurate yet and then you will be in the same place as if you hadn't tested. So, I say wait until Saturday or Sunday, and in the meantime I would enjoy a few glasses of wine as you might not be able to soon!

Welcome daisysunshine Not long until you get to POAS!

RedBunny · 03/07/2014 14:53

Ok there's some clearblue fertility monitors going cheap and ending soon on eBay. I'm very tempted to get one. And then then for sure I'll get a BFP on Sunday and not need to use it right?! I shall just save it for next time...!!! Or gift it to my friend!!
Or of course have to use it myself when I actually get AF..!!

TerrysNo2 · 03/07/2014 14:58

Oh and my test line on the OPK is miles darker than the control line so that means ovulation is imminent right??

Sarahg1 · 03/07/2014 15:00

red I'm trying the sod's law approach.

Buy it, and hope it works. If it does then sell it to me! haha

RedBunny · 03/07/2014 15:06

Thanks Terrys. But I already don't drink! So I'm keen to get on to being pregnant as it's only foods that I have trouble giving up! Baked Camembert and rare steak. That is the hard part! So I'm having some Camembert tonight!

RedBunny · 03/07/2014 15:08

Yes Terrys that'll be your LH surge then! So you are meant to ovulate within the next 36 hours! Better be DTD.
Yes Sarah I did buy one. So.... I suppose even if I don't get pregnant it's a little consolation that I get a new gadget to play with next month??

pinpan · 03/07/2014 17:23

Don't do it Redbunny! You'll just be disappointed. Think of that lovely shiny star...

RedBunny · 03/07/2014 17:46

When am I allowed to test? Maybe I should just do it secretly and not tell!!
I wouldn't be able to. I'd have to share my disappointment and doubts....!!

ladyflower23 · 03/07/2014 18:13

Ha ha redbunny if you suddenly go quiet we will know you have POAS on the sly and broken the 12 dpo rule!
I am same as you terrys, lh surge today so due to ov within next 36 hours. Exciting! Pinpan and I have joint booked poas for 18 July. Care to join us?!

TerrysNo2 · 03/07/2014 18:44

ladyflower I am going to wait until the 20 July if I can, it's my birthday on the 19th and I want to enjoy my party (of course I won't go crazy!) If AF comes I would expect it before then anyway. looking forward to the POAS action from everyone else!
