Thread number 3, we are a chatty bunch!

Let's get those BFP's ladies :)

will have to read back later, but still feeling really sick still, i was actually sick this morning straight after breakfast, (half of which i couldnt face eating) symptom! , but not sure if sickness is a symptom or result from last nights drinking boobs are only just starting to get a tiny bit sore and sensitive. did another opk when i got back up around 12 today and i think it might be slightly darker than yests....not sure. just had a small piece of gammon for tea and nausea getting worse but i could happily eat all the chocolate and caramel muller rice yogurts i have in fridge

Ahhh kurama, it all sounds very positive to me!!

misty sorry AF got you, I hope you've had a nice trip away though.

Brixton how's your sister doing?

cherry congratulations, it must be amazing to see those words!!

spinning I hope you have a fab time away and fx for a holiday BFP!

siarie fx for EWCM bring a symptom! Hopefully it was just too early to test.

I'm in the same situation I know someone else was in a few days ago, DH announced this morning when I suggested DTD that he thinks I only want it to get pregnant. We've DTD on cd 8,9,10 & 12 but I've still not got a +ve opk! want to DTD tonight (cd14) as I got to the Florida tomorrow until Wednesday. But I don't think he'll be up for it and don't think I'll be able to convince him. He's not as excited about having children as me as he's nervous about it all and he keeps saying 'just relax, it'll happen when it happens'.....great.

Sounds very positive ChandlersFarang!

Have a lovely break spinningirl10!

Sounds very positive laurano81.

Sorry to hear that mistywillow17, see you on the August bus :)

Probably my dh blueskygirl30! But he was very disappointed when af arrived and he's said he'll be happy to make more effort this month

Siarie EWCM is caused by estrogen. It continues to fluctuate post ovulation, so all that means is that you've had a fluctuation of estrogen.

P.S. Here's a really good FAQ page where I found out about the EWCM-estrogen connection:

Oh that's good that your DH felt like that cinnamon. Hopefully when my next AF appears and I point out that it does kinda matter what days you DTD for it to work then maybe he'll be more open to my demanding it constantly. I might have to try and make a bit more effort though as, to be fair to DH, this morning I did kinda say 'do you fancy a quickie?'. There maybe sexier ways to phrase it?!

I think I'm beginning to obsess about things now I'm past the ovulation bit of the month . Oh god, how am I going to cope for the next 5 days?!

Logically, my LMP was 26th June (roughly, because it wasn't a normal period). I got the darkest opk on 9th July, although I was not convinced it was as dark as the control line. So going to assume ov'd at some point around there. I am going to test on 18th, purely because it is DP's birthday, and what a lovely present it would be! I got my BFP on CD22 last time, so I could get lucky, you never know . I'll probably test twice daily from then on. Because I am an impatient fuckwit!

Is there anyone else who might be the first members of the April bus? I'm quite a positive person, so I'm thinking ahead . If I don't get lucky this cycle, I'll still be on the April bus if I get lucky next cycle, it's just that this time I'd have an EDD of the 2nd, and next time an EDD of the 30th. C'mon team 2nd!

Well, I POASed for the second time in my life this morning, and it was a BFN. Seems it was just a weird AF with odd symptoms. Onto August for me.

Going to buy some OPKs and start figuring out what's going on!

Luck to everyone!

Morning

Detective, haha the impatient fuckwit made me laugh! Good luck to you and positive thinking is good.

Mamapo, sorry for the bfn.

For to dash, I've got a plane to catch dp is driving so I can pop on and see if anyone has poas this morning!

SorryMamaPo

Have a great holiday Spinning!

So sorry mamapo fx for next cycle x
Spinning have a fab time on holiday!

Sorry to anyone else af got who's testing this morn????fx to everyone

So sorry Ma really really dissappointing to see. Which is why I think I'm going mad. Yesterday I had a mix if AF style aches around my back coupled with twinges in my side that weren't typical AF.
Was full expecting AF when I woke up as 12dpo now and am normally having a LP of 10-11dpo and only ever get AF in the morning. Nothing. Caved and took a FRER with FMU in a cup and normally I would say BFN. But I can see, for once, where the second line should be, IYSWIM? I've seen plenty of FRER BFNs but not this before.
Far far too feint to see on a camera, sorry! That's how clutching at straws I'm being
Now if I assume I had implantation bleeding before, I should be getting a BFP by now so am still fully expecting AF and I'm going mad. Will just have to wait and see...off to Google my nonsense xxxx

Sorry MaMaPo :(

I think if you can see where a line should be then it's a line KittyVonCatsington, I've stared at lots trying to figure out where the line should be and seen nothing!!

Kitty the suspense is killing me! Lol!! It ain't over until AF sings... Fx Fx (that's both hands!).

Sorry MamaPo... Sounds like you're getting the hang of it all though at least! Can take a few cycles to be up on your game and get the job finished

Laurano - cheers for the acupuncture tip! I'm going for my next sesh on Thursday so will ask about currents. My internal kit needs all the help it can get - this sounds ideal, like literal jump leads!

Cpt - the book I've been reading is Change Your Thinking with CBT by Dr Sarah Edelman - it's not for TTC specifically but the principles apply to any hassles or struggles one might be having! It's incredibly grounding and has helped me tons. I'd recommend it to anyone going through any beef!!

Bluesky - "fancy a quickie" sounds pretty hot to me!! Ha ha.

Spinning have an amazing hol! Sorry if I've missed where you're going on my catch up - somewhere hot and fun I hope!

Here's a filthy question for you all - I've got some Preseed and balance activ fertility lubes on their way to me in the post. Do they taste of anything?!?! Ideally I wouldn't want to let on to DH that I was using it, but he is a big fan of the downstairs mouth action and I wouldn't want him to get a gobful of it if I were to sneak it down there before 'seducing him' (pahahahaha). Sooo... Anyone ever eaten any fertility lube?! (Love this board so much at moments like this)

Oh Kitty, I so hope this is it for you! I've only had a line on a frer when I got my bfp. So frustrating for you when you don't get a definite response!

Genni, how was Hampton Court flower show? I went once and really enjoyed it. We went on a coach and bought 4 tree ferns which we then had to put in the luggage compartment, the driver wasn't too happy!

Thanks ladies

Chandler we're off to Italy for 2 weeks. Going to hire a car and see how much we can see

Haha Chandler, that is deffo a question you couldn't ask elsewhere!
My dp says it does have a taste but not too bad I don't think. Didn't seem to put him off anyway

Happy sunny morning everyone,

kitty I've had lots of bfn and never been able to make out where the 2nd line should be. You know what they say, a line is a line! whispered eeekkkkkk, fx for a stronger line in the next day or 2.

spinning have a fab holiday.

chandler sorry I've no idea how fertility lube tastes lol. I can't imagine it's tasteless though, your dh would prob notice the difference.

Go kitty go ! Fx
Chandlers sorry no help here either,you will have to let us know the results lpl

Morning ladies, wishing you all lots of luck this week and fx the bfps start flooding in.

Went for a walk in the harbour yesterday and noticed one of the restaurants in the marina offering lobster. Which reminded me when I finally got pg with littlest ds (nearly 3 now) it was nye, we got engaged that Xmas I was full of a lobster dinner and champagne. We went home to plet scrabble would you believe. I just dug dh in the ribs and pointed out what we'd forgotten. Pre seed, conception vits, no it's lobster I tell you! We also didn't have any interruptions from work as we were snowed in that week. I think the snow that year did create a bit of a baby boom! just trying to work out how to mirror that situation in July

kitty I do understand as I've seen it on an opk! and it definitely sounds promising! I've got my fx for you!

spinning have a fab holiday and don't forget to let us know how your POAS goes!

I managed to up my game and be more seductive last night, phew! DTD 8,10,12,14, just waiting for my +ve opk which I think might be Wednesday so hopefully won't miss it as I'll be back home again.

P.s. chandlers that made me laugh! Definitely let us know if he notices!!
