Hi everyone, cd14 and still negatives on my clearblue ovulation sticks, we dtd last night but im starting to worry that i am not going to ovulate

Treaclepie19 · 15/10/2014 07:03

We were right English, ff moved my ovulation to cd17 so now 3dpo.
We dtd from day 12 to 17 but not managed since. Hopefully that's enough.

I also love Halloween :) were going to see Noel Fielding halloween night and the night after its my friends bday night out. Exciting :)

Treaclepie19 · 15/10/2014 07:04

Quite proud of this now actually!

Good luck today Lucy hope it's a stronger line this morningSmile

Who's testing next?

spinningirl10 · 15/10/2014 07:08

Morning Grin

Broody, I love deer, I think you should share a photo with us.

Anyone poas today?

broodylicious · 15/10/2014 07:17

For you spinning :)

Well, I'd be amazed if AF doesn't arrive today, got all the signs that she's imminent. Trying to cling on to a tiny shred of positivity that she isn't here yet though and failing

Wow broody that is stunning. What a beauty. We get troops of hedgehogs stuffing their faces with cat biscuits and peanut butter. They are impossible to photograph in the dark and they poo all over the patio but I love them Grin

lucygooo · 15/10/2014 07:32

Thank you so much for all your support yesterday, you ladies are all fab :)

Unfortunately FRER this morning was a BFN without even the hint of a line. Given that yesterday's definitely was a line, I'm now wondering whether I just caught the end of a very early miscarriage and just trying to mentally prepare for that really! Will wait a few days and see what happens. Even if it doesn't stick, I think there are positives like knowing we can actually conceive, and I know that early losses are very common.

Hopefully my little line has sprinkled some baby dust over you all!

Pikz · 15/10/2014 07:32

Broody am in the same boat. Ad due today and I'm expecting it. Not bothered testing this month as after 10 months am over it. Can deal with bfn, would rather af just show

Pikz · 15/10/2014 07:37

Oh Lucy I am sorry

lucieloos · 15/10/2014 07:38

Hi Chandlers, hope you are ok, a sunny winter in Thailand sounds lovely although I know what you mean about London I do love the seasons.

The scan results have relaxed me a little as I was really stressed! I think we are still really up against it though with dh's motility. I have him on the wellman conception tablets and some other vitamins and I have been taking epo the last couple of months which has definitely increased ewcm. We have some preseed which we use now and again but DH isn't all that keen on it. I'm not sure there is that much that can be done to improve motility and his score the second time was pretty bad. I think we have about 5 more cycles before we have to consider ivf Confused

lucieloos · 15/10/2014 07:40

Oh Lucy I'm really sorry to hear that, maybe it was a chemical? Big hugs to you Thanks

Cariad2014 · 15/10/2014 07:46

Big hugs Lucygoo. Flowers

Boosk · 15/10/2014 07:49

So sorry to hear that Lucy Thanks

Dreamingoutloud · 15/10/2014 07:53

So sorry lucy Thanks

broodylicious · 15/10/2014 08:03

Sending hugs lucy Thanks xx

Frolicacid · 15/10/2014 08:10

Big temp dip for me this morning. AF will probably show her face today or tomorrow. Balls!

I love this time of year. Low sunshine, crisp air and beautiful colours. We live in quite a touristy place and I love these kind of days when the beaches are deserted.

I hope everyone else is ok and that I don't see any of you on the November bus!

spinningirl10 · 15/10/2014 08:23

Broody, what a beautiful photo, such lovely colours, thank youGrin

Lucy, so sorry it was a bfn today after yesterday's positive. Awful to have that initial excitement only to have it crushed Thanks

Frolic, boo to temp dip.

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 15/10/2014 08:24

REALLY GROSS QUESTION.

... Is it ok to 'save' FMU? As in, 'I have wee'd in a pot, can I keep hold of it until my FRER arrives from Amazon later today?'

Or is that too gross?

EnglishGirlsReturned · 15/10/2014 08:24

I'm sure you've done all you could've done treacle! Chart is looking lovely!

Great pic Broody!!

Sorry for the bfn lucy - looks like it was quite possibly a chem.

Sorry it looks like AF might show frolic Sad

Jackiebrambles · 15/10/2014 09:16

LOL Somesort! I'd probably do it, if I had somewhere safe to store it!

How many DPO are you? I got a positive on a FRER from my pee at 3pm on 11DPO. I suppose it might have been a stronger line if I had used FMU but there still was very much a line.

teeniedeenie34 · 15/10/2014 09:16

Nice pic Broody I also live close to a Deer Park, it's beautiful at this time of year!

Sorry about your BFN Lucy ThanksCake

Flower Thanks for responding, I'm not sure if it could still be ovulation pain if I ov'd on Saturday? I've been asking Dr Google and apparently it could be the egg moving down my tube? Hard to know either way but I've never had this before.

CD23 here, still cramping although it seems to be worse in the evening. Have been quite dry for the past few days but CM back today. Ovia saying 9 days til I can test but AF due in 6...

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 15/10/2014 09:31

Oh, I just saw the deer photo! It wouldn't load for me before. Wow. I bloody love autumn, it's my favourite time of year. I'm going for a pumpkin spice latte with a friend later and I'm just as excited as I would be for a holiday. Really.

I am either 11 or 14dpo. I thought I was out this month as I had a temp dip yesterday morning, but not a dramatic, below the coverline one. Temp is now climbing again. My boobs are killing me and I had strong cramps yesterday, especially when I was lying in bed last night.

I have a... something on the HPT. You can't see it in the photo. It came up within the 10 minutes too. Did the OPK because I was curious. Nothing usually comes up on them for me at the end of a cycle. This is actually a very strong line for me, as strong as I ever get when I'm actually ovulating. It's stronger than it looks in the picture.

See... INSANE. I am insane. This is where AF turns up in about five minutes.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 15/10/2014 09:50

Somesort I did just that on 12dpo. I didn't have a frer. So peed in a cup at about 5am, hid it under the sink! Lol gave me a perfect bfp! Grin

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 15/10/2014 10:03

Woohoo, a fellow crazy person! Grin

Mine is safely tucked away on the corner of the bath. No-one will be home before I get to use it, so it's there mainly to stop the cats knocking it over. God, we're gross. Wee, mucus, etc etc. I love it.

I checked Superdrug online and it looks like FRER double packs are on buy one get one free. No idea if that's the shops too, but it might be useful for people wanting to order some? That's £10.49 for two double packs AND free delivery because it's over £10.
