Sorry katy cross post.

That would help you to pinpoint ovulation. Some ladies find they work better in the afternoon anyway.

kurama · 07/08/2014 09:30

well thats up to you as to if you want ro start a month early but I find that if u dont drink much and can hold it in for 4/5 hours u can usually get the same result as firt morning wee

Siarie · 07/08/2014 10:25

I'm hoping I'm in my TWW now and you know what, I think I might not even POAS this month and wait until AF arrives. Last month it was worse knowing that there was something and it did not stick rather than not knowing at all. Which makes me think that perhaps it's best just not knowing!

So today could be 1DPO how many days do you think i'll last ;)?

Siarie · 07/08/2014 10:27

Treacle I see drinking as fair game up until ovulation now, last month I was all good and that. But I now I think that maybe it's good to relax a little and me and DH go out for dinner and have wine which makes us happy.

Katybear123 · 07/08/2014 10:38

Thanks treacle and karma I'm going to try not to stress and I think maybe I will stay away from sticks this month. I think what making it worse is I hate my job have for a while now but me and dh agreed I would stick if out to get the mat leave I'm well paid and it's gd. But I'm so desperate to leave which piles on the pressure I just want to b a mummy. Hmm I think I need a deep breath, my daily aerobics class and to chill. On cm hunt and it's still cloudy and I'm getting some pains to reckon may ovulate today we'll c . Last month reckon it was cd 13 and it's cd 12 today so possible if I am and we dtd I should still b ok right?

Katybear123 · 07/08/2014 10:39

Ps siarie I with I can't give up my weekend wine it's only half a bottle fri and sat and I think not having it would stress me more !

gennibugs · 07/08/2014 10:47

katybear I know the feeling re jobs as I'm the same! I hate my job and want to leave but I really need the mat leave/pay so I'm stuck. I sometimes think that I'm not falling pg because I'm pretty stressed with it all and if only I could leave I'd be so much more relaxed and happy and more likely to get my bfp. its a vicious circle I think! DH and I have decided if no BFP by the end of this year I'll ask to go part time for 6 months. see if that helps.

I think if you dtd tonight you should be covered!

gennibugs · 07/08/2014 10:49

Oh and wine - I had 6 months of being good so now I think sod it. Ill have it if i want it. I'm going out for dinner with DH tomorrow and I plan to have prosecco AND wine! Grin

Sunbathing thankyou needed a hug Smile

Definitely don't leave it another year. The one thing I didn't regret was having my children, even if they chose to come at the most inopportune times. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Being a mummy is the best thing in the world.

Thanks sunbathing at, genius bugs and mrs extraordinary. I am pleased I'm not along on hating job snap on it being stressful it doesn't very often let up! Going part time isn't an option sadly. I have a head hunter contacting me and I really want to spk to her but if I leave I would have to delay kids and I don't want to.

Re ov symptoms apart from full aches no others I can see. Cm is creamy but not stick and no ewcm but I didn't get any last cycle either so maybe I guess I don't get it.

Don't temp dh found that a bit stressful with the buzzer first thing in the am. Think will test ov next month my prob is I always wake in night for a wee I drink a lot of water I guess it's usually 4am should I just save that wee? And do I need to know the time?

Re dtd we did it cd 9, we were shooting for eod. In fairness to hubbie he tried it just didn't work :-(

Hi sunbathing they look like same opks I used and I got my positive on cd11 and it looked like that the next day completely clear!! Have tried a few more since just to check and nothing! So I would suggest treating it as positive and just keep DTD over next few days and keep testing also just to be covered!! Good luck!

MrsGingerbread · 07/08/2014 13:58

Sunbathing that is the most positive opk results I ever get, so looks good!

1dpo here (yay!) and my hair feels nasty. Will have to change shampoo (and spot it as a symptom even though it is far too early! )

MrsE How's your hair looking today?

Sunshinesaz86 · 07/08/2014 13:58

Your welcome, FF had me down as oving last cycle on CD14 as it was my 1st proper and i ended up oving earlier this month at CD12 it seems so get jumping DH as much as possible between now and then and good luck!

Now i am unsure whether i am being ridiculous, but i am 8dpo and im getting a dull ache at the bottom of back/legs/bum area similar to before AF and i looked at my boobs today (i never take notice of my boobies as theire falsies, so hard to feel what is going on) (tmi) but i have spotted some blue veins, they could of always been there but i dont think they have been, or i am making it up into my sympton spotting madness!!! eeek so long before i can poas!!!......and breathe!

xBlueberry88x · 07/08/2014 14:19

Afternoon ladies,

Im a little down today as it feels like AF is on her way 4 days early as I have had cramps all day booo!!!

Chandlers I have no idea how long my lp is because the is the first month ive had confirmed ovulation (I wasnt ovulating, but believe I have been for about 3 months).

Kitty Fire boobs is and interesting one!! What did dr google say? Lol at used your DH haha

Pikz Sorry about AF

Katy The apps are all different annoyingly it would do you well to use opks (get a load of cheapies on ebay), but dont do them until afternoon to give the LH time to build.
Do try and not get to stressed it really is early days for you and stress does not help when ttc. Also try not to pressure DH men are a lot more sensitive than we think, my dp finds its hard sometimes it fairly normal!!

Kurama you do find some amazing pictures lol. Hope the bleeding in implantation!!

Detective It depends how long your lp is but that still leaves you with a long enough one I believe

MrsE limbo sucks!!

Genni sorry its still flashy!!

Siarie good luck on poas lol I vote 10dpo lol

Sunbathing I would say thats almost positive, the instructions say the line has to be darker or the same as the control line to be positive.

Had a nice lay in today before starting work at 1pm I definately needed that!!

Aprilray · 07/08/2014 14:31

Ooh, good news that it looks like you're going to ov before your DH goes away Sunbathing!
I go through phases of hating my job too...I hate my commute too even though it's not as bad as a lot of people. I have just gone down to 4 days a week (feel free to throw things at me!) as DH and I thought it would help if I had more time to relax - fx! My best friend and another close friend are both on maternity leave and I am so Envy

gennibugs · 07/08/2014 14:59

aprilray I'm planning to go down to 4 days a week if nothing happens in the next month or two - I think it's a really good idea if it's feasible.

blue hope it isn't AF and it's just your body playing tricks!

I need advice ladies. Does lots of EWCM mean you are ovulating or that you are about to ov? and is it likely to be in the next 24 hours? ive just got loads, DH is away til late tomorrow - we're stuffed aren't we!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 07/08/2014 15:07

Ginger its remarkably fluffy today Wink but I think I'm nearing the end if limbo with slightly darker cm. please please please just get on with it! Grin

Siarie · 07/08/2014 15:17

Blueberry haha 10DPO is a good call but I am really feeling quite certain about not testing early.

Oh interestingly I noticed last cycle I had a fall back rise after ovulation also, so I guess it's all normal.

Has anyone else had the same with their temps? FX my temps go up.

Pubroast82 · 07/08/2014 16:29

Hello ladies, newly and nervously boarding the bus as 3 days late but still BFN... good luck to all esp MrsExtraOrdinary and Pikz who look to be in same boat. Stats 32, cycle 7, ttc No 1 xxx

Katybear123 · 07/08/2014 16:48

Thanks blueberry I know ur right I just want it do much. R the cheap opk's any good? I was going to get a clear blue fertility monitor but I know a few folk on here don't think they r that great?
