I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine Genni! You have a 12-36hr window so get going Wink

cinnamongreyhound · 11/07/2014 10:30

That made me laugh blueskygirl30! Men aren't as dumb as we think hey?

Rubbish sorry MaMaPo :(

I'm no help BrixtonBunny as Ive never used opk's but eod dtd until today sounds positive. Do you normal get ewcm? Yay for your lovely dh!!

I can't see anything Sairie but I'm in my phone and often can't when others do :)

BrixtonBunny · 11/07/2014 10:51

I don't think I've had EWCM before (at least not for years) but I had coil for 7 years and before then pill for a couple of years... So still getting used to what my body does without hormones Confused

It's actually quite fascinating.

Am a bit worried with lack of EWCM plus early ovulation, but nothing I can do apart from relax!

gennibugs · 11/07/2014 11:00

Thanks English. Will grab DH as soon as I get home fx.

When I read my posts back I always think I come across as a neurotic weirdo!!

brixton I never got EWCM but taking cough medicine has really helped!

BrixtonBunny · 11/07/2014 11:12

Ooh I'll buy some tonight, thanks Genni Wink xx

sparkle17 · 11/07/2014 11:16

Oops my post that I wrote last night seems to have posted this morning. Very confusing, but yes I do know it is friday today. Thanks for pointing that out brixton! Early finish today as driving up to see the on laws.

TheDetective · 11/07/2014 11:40

Can anyone talk to me about ovulation strips?!

I did one mid afternoon on CD 11 and 12 which were negative (no line other than control strip). Cd13 did one and the lines were almost identical but test line was just a smidge lighter than control line. CD14 there was a feint test line.

So where did I ovulate?! Wonder if it was worth doing them twice a day if no luck this month?

Anyway we DTD every day apart from CD13 because we fell asleep as soon as heads on pillow bloody pair of idiots!! so I'm hoping the 48 hours we missed wont be too much of a problem. Saying that all our DTD was after midnight so I've no idea which day to class it as anyway!

Last time I got a bfp on CD22 with ovulation around cd12/13 and a 26 day cycle. I don't think ill get a bfp that early this time. Although it would be lovely if I did. It would be DP's birthday :)

BrixtonBunny · 11/07/2014 12:19

Sorry detective, I couldn't get on with the strips first cycle, so this cycle I switched to the clearblue digital ovulation kit - so much simpler to use! But I've heard some ladies don't get on with them, and they are pricier (although I got a two-month supply from amazon for £33 rather than £46 which is the price in Boots)!

gennibugs · 11/07/2014 13:02

The detective - I use the cb opks to but I'm sure in of the ladies on here will be able to assist

brixton make sure it has guaifenesin in it - I think robitussin was recommended on here. basically there is an active ingredient which you need. oh and lots of water too

xBlueberry88x · 11/07/2014 13:25

Afternoon ladies,

thedetective sounds like you ovulated on cd13 but ive never really used opks

Congrats Junk

Kitty your so lovely I really hope you get your bfp very soon!! Temp going up looks like a good sign

Brixton you have a good one there lol glad he was lovely to you

Siarie sorry I cant see anything

must be around 9dpo today even more spot all over my face now, so so very tired im barely functioning and my god my boobs hurt when I got up this morning, its very rare I get painful boobs and its never this bad, I also have a dodgy tummy.

If its not a bfp again this month im gonna go crazy lol

cinnamongreyhound · 11/07/2014 14:37

I'd guess cd13 too TheDetective based on what I've read here but have never done one.

Just had my second call from clear blue, have to start from cd1 so I will get my pack in time for my next af in August. Hoping I don't get it of course but I was quite looking forward to taking part!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 11/07/2014 14:41

Detective - I'd say cd13 was your positive, so you prob ov'd cd14 Smile

BrixtonBunny · 11/07/2014 15:20

Blueberry those sound like promising symptoms (not that any of us would be prone to symptom spotting)!

laurano81 · 11/07/2014 15:23

Hi ladies,
I was freaking out earlier...I have a new class today, really young French students, so I had to do a lot more monitoring of their work. I was on my feet constantly today,..anyway I started getting period cramps at around 1.30 & it lasted for about 30-40 mins,..I have them on & off still, but less severe...I went to the loo, but nothing only creamy stretchy CM... scared tbh, as I am only 8DPO...temp was 36.61°C, compared to 36.66°C yesterday...oh the 2WW will be the death of me! x

I will read back through the thread now, sorry for the rant x

BrixtonBunny · 11/07/2014 15:34

Could be implantation pain laurano?!

Aprilray · 11/07/2014 15:46

Ooh, good to see lots of promising symptoms and sounds like there is lots of DTD going on for those around ov time, hopefully this bus is a slow burner and the BFPs will pick up from now on.

Laurano lots of the ladies who have got BFPs recently have reported lots of CM so don't worry x

My temp is still low and have on/off cramping - decided not to waste another test as sure AF will arrive within the next day or two. Crazy PMT hormones have gone thankfully.

I'm out for dinner and Wine this evening and then leaving rainy London for sunny Jersey first thing but will be checking in on my phone over the weekend hoping for some good news!! Will post updated stats below, so many AFs! Sad

Have a good weekend everyone Smile

spinningirl10 · 11/07/2014 15:53

Ooh blueberry I'm getting excited for you, when will you poas? Please let it be no later than Monday when I go on my hols!

Detective, I use the ic opk strips. My line never gets darker than control line, when it gets quite dark I pee on a cb and it confirms with a smiley face! Sounds like your positive was when the line was at its darkest. I always use the ic twice a day around ov time.

Sports day was good fun until my dd who is 18 had a mini meltdown as she got a call to say she hadn't got a job that she had an interview for yesterday. Then my Saudi boy student was rude after I went out of my way to take him to the mosque. And on the way home the exhaust fell off my car!!! Is it bed time yet?

kurama · 11/07/2014 16:15

spinning sorry ur not having a good day.
although id requested cd21 bloods, the nurse decided she couldnt do the test without a slip from the specialist.... not amusedAngry 9dpo (possibly) and had 5 mins of stabby pain on left side..... poss implantation pain???Hmm stupidly getting hopes up this month
bring on the Wine tomoro night! Grin Grin Grin

laurano81 · 11/07/2014 16:22

April My temp was high last cycle & I got AF! Please hang in there, it could shoot back up & you are still very much in with a chance like the rest of us to get a BFP! x

Mamapo Sorry AF arrived Sad Fx you get a BFP on the August bus x

Brixton Yay! Fixed smiley! Clearblue say you will ovulate 24-36 hours after a fixed Smile, but it could be from 12-36 hours x Haha I was laughing at what you said re softcups! It was my fear too that they would get stuck! Grin..at least I am not alone thinking that x I hope wiggling your naked bottom worked! hehe Wink x

Kitty Yay! That is a decent temp hike! Fx As for ovulating twice! It very possible, I reckon that is what happened to me, when I conceived my twins! Every single Medium I have gone to over the years, have told me that my son has a twin sister! That I have a daughter x They all can't be wrong! So in my heart her name is Katie. My little angel x

Cpt Yay! Fx that you get a +opk real soon! Sounds like you are getting there! DTD! Have fun! x

Kurama Good luck with your blood tests x I hope all goes well for you x

English Fx that you get a +opk! Yay! Sounds like it is on the way! DTD! x

Blueberry I am with you! If I don't get a BFP! I WILL go crazy! x

Thedetective If you got a nearly +opk on CD13, & a faint one on CD14, then I would say that the LH surge was on CD13, & you will ovulate 12-36 hours after that approx. ! Get BDing! x

Cinnamon Fx you will get a BFP! & you won't need the clearblue ovualtion kit! Wouldn't that be FAB! x

Treacle Sometimes my temps don't go back down til CD4! Other times, it's earlier x I hope the pain has eased x

Spinning Oh gosh! Well they say they come in 3's, so I say your safe now! I can't get over the students cheekiness! Just think, this time next week you will be in Italia! x I hope you enjoyed your sports day x

laurano81 · 11/07/2014 16:42

Detective I would do an OPK Cd 15, & 16, just to make sure! If they are -tive then I would take it that you did in fact have the LH surge CD13 x

Siarie I'm sorry, I can't see anything, but that is not to say that it is not there! x The camera may not be picking it up, if it is faint x Fx you get a stronger line x

Kurama Bummer that they didn't do the CD21 blood tests! Fx you won't need them & you will get a BFP x

Siarie · 11/07/2014 17:12

Time will tell, thanks for looking ladies. DH said he can see something so that's a good sign!

BrixtonBunny · 11/07/2014 18:50

Kurama that's so annoying! Fx for a BFP soon for you.

Oh ladies, I'm having such a terrible afternoon. My mum called to tell me my little sister is pregnant - she's a month off being 17 years old. I'm heartbroken for her. I think she will have a termination which IMHO is the right call, but she's so young to have to go through this. And obviously we're TTC which feels doubly tough as if and when we do get a BFP I'm worried it will upset her. Her appointment with BPAS isn't for a week so she has a while to get he head around it all but she's still a baby herself in so many ways. I'm sorry to vent, I'm just so shaken. Sad

On the plus side getting the soft cup out was fine and will keep DTD to try and catch that egg.

Moan over xxx

laurano81 · 11/07/2014 18:57

Brixton Maybe your sister wants the baby, if she has enough support it is very possible for her to be a mum x A comes with it's own set of problems Sad It devastates a lot of women Sad I hope she can make the best decision for her, for she has to live with it either way x It must be really scary for her right now x
