MrsE, sorry you're still suffering, hugs to you and please take it easy today.

English, sounds like you're having a lovely weekend, enjoy today.

Boosk, I was very surprised to read that. I do have ewcm but not for more than a couple of days.

Thanks boosk gonna give it a couple more days till I am really late then get butt down the quacks

fredsmum01 · 12/10/2014 09:26

Well I didn't hold out until Monday. Did a test this morning on my CBFM and got a bfp!!! But slightly confused now as did a crappy morrisons test and it was BFN! Confussed now.... Don't know whether to get excited or not! Confused

lucieloos · 12/10/2014 09:33

Get a frer freds!

Nordicmom · 12/10/2014 09:33

Some ,I meant to say sorry about all you've been through and hope you'll get a bfp soon!
English I've been to Bounce too for DS birthday treat ,it's a fun place :)!
MrsE , DH not against Ivf just international surrogacy ATM ( not English surrogacy so much ) but I'm not ready for the Ivf again yet . Need a while longer so that's why I'm still trying .

Nordicmom · 12/10/2014 09:36

Fred I hope you'll get a clear answer soon...
The lines inside my cb digital are driving me crazy since comparing them to others on the internet they look like soon strong enough for a 1-2 w positive. Aargh like DH says this is when it seem so go wrong recently so can't celebrate or be hopeful :(. Getting other tests today

Boosk · 12/10/2014 09:39

Me too spinning which makes me think this won't be my month. Pretty sure I had ov pain on Friday but was still pretty dry down there. But then had ewcm yesterday.

Freds can you test on cbfm? If so, Yay! Otherwise get a frer!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 12/10/2014 09:39

I'm sure the morrisons test is probably just less sensitive Freds - to show up on a clear blue of any type is good! Congrats! And get a FRER!

Treacle - don't give up yet hun... I've had a few cycles like that. Just see how it plays out over the next few days.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 12/10/2014 09:41

Spinning - my acupuncturist said that because soy acts like clomid it can dry you up like clomid does too. Drink plenty of water and use some pre-seed or conceive plus.

spinningirl10 · 12/10/2014 09:45

Good luck Nordic and Fred get a frer Grin

fredsmum01 · 12/10/2014 09:46

Thanks... Yeah it's one of the new fertility monitors which you can do pregnancy tests on to...I'm at a family party today so not gonna have chance to go and get a Frer! Gonna hold off one the wine though... Don't want to take any chances!

spinningirl10 · 12/10/2014 09:49

Thanks English, i always drink loads of water but I will make sure I always you the lube in the few days prior to and after ov.

OP posts:
spinningirl10 · 12/10/2014 09:54

Ah fred, I'd assumed you'd used a cb opk. I would say that it's a bfp, the morrisons ones probably aren't as sensitive as English said. Congratulations Grin

OP posts:
Boosk · 12/10/2014 10:06

Sounds good then Freds!! Woohoo!

Boosk · 12/10/2014 10:08

Sounds like a plan Ruby keeping everything crossed for you Thanks

MrsExtraOrdinary · 12/10/2014 10:11

Nordic I really hope this could be it and af stays away for you.

Treaclepie19 · 12/10/2014 10:16

Thanks English, it seems like most of my cycles are like this now.
I didn't start temping until half way through the month I got pregnant so no idea if my cycles were like this back then.

Congrats Freds! :)

Fingers crossed for you Nordic

Look after yourself MrsE x

TheProofIsInThePudding · 12/10/2014 10:17

Fx for you freds!

Well it seems I've invoked the law of sod the wrong way round. I bought a pack of FRER yesterday in anticipation of testing later in the week, so of course I've started spotting! At first I was very excited and thought it was implantation, but it's continued this morning, so I reckon AF is on her way. It's pretty early, but within normal parameters. I hope it hurries up and comes on properly so I can move on to cycle 2.

How long does it take for Amazon to deliver opks? I think I'll give them a go next cycle if they arrive in time. Also I didn't have a great deal of CM this month, so I'm considering some sperm-friendly lube too - any recommendations?

Isabeau1980 · 12/10/2014 10:19

Sorry I haven't been able to post much. Work is ridiculously busy at the moment.

Congratulations to all the BFPs. I'll be thinking of ye. Commiserations to the BFNs and everyone the evil witch visited.

I have been trying not to symptom spot since it worked out so badly for me last month. Problem is that I'm noticing a few that in combination are making me stop and think.

Mild abdominal cramps
Tender breasts (at times)
Light headedness
Nausea
Heartburn
And my sense of smell has gone screwy.

I'm only 6 dpo and won't have the opportunity to POAS until this day week.

Any thoughts?

Proof, sorry about the spotting. Good lubes when ttc are conceive plus and pre-seed. Both available from Amazon and boots. Also boots do an own brand one I think.

sparkle17 · 12/10/2014 10:20

Whispering congratulations to fred

Hope you are out of limbo land soon ruby and hopefully with a bfp.

I tested again today and the line on the frer was so strong. Way stronger than the test line. I'm taking that as a good sign. Really want to get passed when af is due though which is tomorrow or Tues.

Good luck for those testing

Good morning! Sorry to all if those who got bfn this morning. Fx for those with confusing results.

Keep resting today mrsE.

english, I LOVE a bit of John Legend. Enjoy tonight.

So, I spent ages online last night looking at charts and temping info an have convinced myself that I missed my ovulation this month. I had really strong opk's, pain and ewcm around day 17 & 18 along with a temp rise. But I had another rise on day 21 and now I'm worried I ovulated then and bloody missed the egg as we barely dtd after day 19. Arrrghhhhhh!!!!!! I know I can't do anything now, but am so angry with myself for potentially fucking this up. AF not due ti next Saturday so I have a long week ahead.
Will attach a pick of my temps if anyone wants to tell me what they think. Ignore the spiky first few days. I had a virus and temps were all over the shop.

Cariad2014 · 12/10/2014 10:52

Freds - congrats. I've used the pregnancy tests on my CBFM numerous times and have found them to be very reliable. I suspect they're simply more sensitive than the other test you used.

Soarkle - Glad the line on the FRER is incredibly strong. Such awesome news. Hope you're enjoying your weekend away.

Sorry to all those in limbo land like Ruby and Nordic.

Want - I still think that at 9doo it's a bit too early for you to have a definitive answer.

Treacle - I'd try not to worry too much. If it's any consolation, my temps have been all over the shop this month so I have no idea whether I've ov'd either. The best thing to do is stay positive, and keep dtding.
