Fx for you sparkly!

Well I did another opk this evening and it's still positive. So now I'm stuck in a dilemma, we've dtd the last two nights so should I do it again this evening or leave it until tomorrow? Part of me thinks this is still too early and the sticks are lying....don't wanna wear out DP in case we've still got another week to go?!!

Ahhh you lot!! I just told husband your views to which I got a very calm "oh we will just wait and see what tomorrow brings don't get excited love"...

The brown spotting though people!!! Confused surely that counteracts squinty possibly there fainters?!

I only have one more strip cheapie test left and a clearblue digi all packaged up for next month! (Which I'm sure i shouldn't use at this stage anyway right?!)

Feel free to tell me to shut up at any point. I'm seriously questioning my sanity right now! Ha where's Purdey when you need her!!! WinkGrin

Agh I'm on my phone sparkly so can't see the pic, but eeek, exciting! Good luck!

I'm having a down day today.. Which is stupid really as I'm cd12 and in the middle if dtdathon so still completely in with a chance. I think all the months are catching up with me Hmm

Hairstylisttoboris · 15/01/2015 20:04

Sparkly some people have lots of brown spotting through the early weeks!

Hairstylisttoboris · 15/01/2015 20:05

sanmy sorry to read that you are down. It's tough keeping going with the cycles of hormones. Really hope this is THE month for you.

Rainy34 · 15/01/2015 20:12

Sparkly - im so excited for you, just popped back into see what was going on and it looks like you have gone and got a bfp!!! congratulations xx

Mumwannabe82 · 15/01/2015 20:17

aww bless your dh sparkly for keeping your feet on the ground just in case Smile

gaggaforababa · 15/01/2015 20:19

Does anyone have recommendatons for which opk sticks to get?

Cariad2014 · 15/01/2015 20:24

Sparkly - they all look positive to me as well Grin

Huge congratulations to Becca and Squiidge as well - what a fabulous day on the January bus!

Mumwannabe82 · 15/01/2015 20:25

I have used the boots ones before and they tied in nicely with my temp rise 3 days later xx

Cariad2014 · 15/01/2015 20:28

Sorry - in my haste to congratulate you, I got the wrong name Squiish

Mumwannabe82 · 15/01/2015 20:28

Hi dizzy, what CD are you on today? X

squiish · 15/01/2015 20:30

sparkly your amazon test looks like mine! Grin well done on the photo taking! mine were awful ha.
I just bought a clearblue digi to do on the weekend... Tomorrow is going to DRAAAAAG Hmm

DizzyNorthernBird · 15/01/2015 20:40

Hi mum, it's cd16. I have a 35 day cycle. Period tracker was predicting ov on cd21 and ovia predicted by the end of next week!

gagga I'm using the cheap 'one step' sticks from Amazon. Not sure if I can recommend though as it's only my second month of testing.

Mumwannabe82 · 15/01/2015 20:45

Well after getting a positive on opk a few cycles ago, I didn't confirm ov till 3 days later because sometimes it just takes that little bit longer so ovia seems to be more accurate, I would keep going with dtd now Wink

Mumwannabe82 · 15/01/2015 20:51

Oh and listen to your body rather than the apps because although they are really good, they are what they say on the tin, predictions! I hope that helps dizzy xx

Mumwannabe82 · 15/01/2015 20:53

ignore the ovia seems more accurate bit as I just realised it said end of next week not this week lol xx

Dizzy I would say.. If in doubt, dtd!! As long as dh permits of course..Wink and if not- get him told!!

Sammy ha ha there's not much to see I wouldn't worry! I'm so sorry you are feeling so down sending Flowers it must be so difficult when you go month after month, you WILL get there. I keep hearing of people that get to 12 months go for referrals and then end up with a BFP just before they actually make it to clinics. Sending so many positive thoughts to you. This could be the one! Get dtd! Flowers

Boris thanks for that.. I think it's because I came on spotting on the same day I do every month to start this week that I feel it's just as per normal!

Rainy it's a total squinter so im trying my best not to get even a bit excited about it as cramping and spotting etc and no huge temp Rise. Argh! Thanks for your excitement though, if you can be excited ok my behalf that be great thanks as I'm not letting myself! Ha ha. How are you??

Mumwannabe Mmm my dh is too laid back for my liking!! Wink

Squiish but did yours pretty much look like there wasn't even a line?!

DizzyNorthernBird · 15/01/2015 21:06

Thanks mum, I suppose thinking about it logically, if a 28 day cycle supposedly means ov on cd14, then a 35 day cycle should mean ov around cd17 ish give or take? But yes I shall keep on trying! Xx

PurdeyBirdie · 15/01/2015 21:22

Aaaargh! I get back from bible study and find me ol' mucker's already packed her case and is catching the bus to Preggsville! What a line that is! I didn't even have to squint and I'm certified blind How exciting! Sparkly, you are the poster girl for AI! I'm so encouraged Smile Many, many congratulations, love Thanks

Oh..and you might as well become pals with that brown sludge..it'll be sticking around for quite a few days/weeks yet!

babsbunny · 15/01/2015 21:24

Hi ladies. I hope everyone is keeping positive. I'm going a bit mad tonight. CD 18 of 26. No symptoms, nothing. I didn't think trying would be this consuming. it's so difficult to not think about it all the time.

PurdeyBirdie · 15/01/2015 21:25

Dizzy, ov should take place between 12-16 days before the start of AF, so if your cycle is 35 days I would expect ov to be between CD19-23. Imagine if it is CD 23 and you stop sexing on CD18...Shock

PurdeyBirdie · 15/01/2015 21:26

Babs, I don't think about it all the time. Sometimes I think about Twirls.

MissMrsMummy · 15/01/2015 21:30

Getting very excited for sparkly! You say you haven't had a temp rise but have you had a dip? If no dip then fats another sign!
