Brooke113 · 15/04/2015 18:02

Thanks sparkle I know that 2 cycles isn't long, but I keep thinking we haven't been particularly careful for the last year or so and nothings happened :(

firsttimenewbie · 15/04/2015 22:14

Wow this the was has been busy. Hope I haven't missed too much! Back from our wedding and holiday now. Off on honeymoon end of the week for three weeks then te TTC starts! Hope you are all still here when I get back (although with some bfps in the meantime!!)

Issie339 · 15/04/2015 22:54

Firsttimenewbie, how was the wedding?? Congratulations! Where are you off on honeymoon? I'm very jealous. Enjoy it, hopefully it will be your last child-free holiday for a long time

Issie339 · 15/04/2015 22:58

Big hugs Brooke, you'll get your bfp, it still could be this month but if not then another month. I really understand how you're feeling, it's the constant raising and then dashing of hopes that is so hard isn't it

nickynackynoo31 · 16/04/2015 08:06

Hi ladies...how is everyone feeling today x

Issie339 · 16/04/2015 08:27

Morning Nicky, I'm feeling ok today, no symptoms to report though also no early signs of AF so who knows. Not tested yet so I'm going well ??

How are you?

Brooke113 · 16/04/2015 09:32

first time congratulations on the wedding, where are you off on honeymoon?

I'm feeling bleugh, all symptoms I did have are well and truly gone, so I'm not holding out any hope this month.

Keeping everything crossed for all the ladies testing v.soon. Xx

Brooke113 · 16/04/2015 09:34

Sorry Issie If you've said up the page, when are you due Af? How long have you been ttc hun? Keeping everything crossed for you xx

VioletIbiza88 · 16/04/2015 09:50

First time, congrats and have a wonderful honeymoon!

After getting the static smiley on wednesday morning I felt nauseous all day and didn't want to eat, and still feel the same today, so i'm pretty sure that was ov. So I'm trying to work out when I start counting DPO days from, i.e. is today DPO1 as I got the static smiley face yesterday or was the static smiley saying that was the hormone surge so ov could be 24-36 hours later,making Friday DPO1. I know its only a matter of a day or at the most two but I don't want to be counting wrong lol!

Issie339 · 16/04/2015 09:51

Hi Brooke, been ttc since end Nov, this will be my 6th cycle (although not sure if first 3 cycles count as we were using lube with spermicide in by accident ) Due AF 22nd. I don't have any symptoms either hun but still feeling hopeful, you never know

nickynackynoo31 · 16/04/2015 10:55

issie339. ..still waking with the odd taste in my mouth and I felt really sick this morning but again I'm sure it's just me imagining it lol x

nickynackynoo31 · 16/04/2015 10:56

plus for the past 5 or so days I've woken with an awful headache.

tested again today and it was back to one line so j think ov was Def on Monday so fingers crossed x

Issie339 · 16/04/2015 15:11

Ooh Nicky, headaches are defo an early sign because of the hormones, keeping my fingers crossed for you

VioletIbiza88 · 16/04/2015 15:22

I was googling the two week wait, as you do... (I know its my day off, so i'm googling conception related stuff again!!!) and I found a "pregnancy test calculator" dont know if any of you have used one of these. You put in your first day of LMP, day of ovulation and average luteal phase (which I left as standard 14 days as I don't have a clue) and it tells you which is the optimum day for taking a pregnancy test. The website is conceiveeasy if you want to try it.

My day is Wednesday 29th April!

Also had a look on amazon at tests, any recommendations?

Ohh that's sounding positive Nicky, fx for you :)

Issie339 · 16/04/2015 16:39

Just went and had a look at that website Violet, it's saying 23rd April for me but I definitely won't last until then!

Issie339 · 16/04/2015 16:51

Violet I use First Response HPT which you can use from 6 days before your missed AF. I've heard Superdrug own brand are good and very sensitive too but have never tried them myself

nickynackynoo31 · 16/04/2015 17:16

thanks issie339 and violetibiza88. ..I'm trying not to get hopes up but it's hard not to... my AF is due 24th so might have to have a try at that website and see x

sparklesandfizz · 16/04/2015 22:31

Right, have just read back through thread and think I know everyone a bit better now!
Congrats on all the weddings - how magical. I love a good wedding, good for the soul.
This is our first month trying for baby 4.
Have never opk'do or temped but all seems very confusing and stressful. Hats off to all who do.
I tend to be regular and lmp started 28th March
Dtd tues 7th x2, 8th,9th,10th and 13th so hopefully given us a good chance.
Using my simple maths I should have Ov'd 10th which would make today day 6 of tww.
Plan on testing 26th if no AF however my resolve may crumble before then.....
When is everyone else looking at testing?
Fingers crossed that BFPs start filtering through for everyone soon
Nicky your symptoms sound promising.

nickynackynoo31 · 16/04/2015 23:11

sparkle...wow good dtd marathon lol

I've done opks for first time and it's annoyed the hell out of me lol..
I have felt horrific today...awful taste when woke up and headache on and off most of day. I've also felt sickly today...I'm trying my best not to think too much into it but I'm starting to wonder

my AF is due 24th and that's if it's on 28 day cycle but it's first cycle since coil removal so I'm not sure if it's right. I think come this time next week I will be thinking of doing a test.

fingers crossed for us all that the BFP start to roll in ..

I've probably missed in the thread somewhere as im hopeless at remembering who said what lol but who's first to test??? I think there's a few of us within days of each other isn't there?? x

MaybeMrsMum2016 · 17/04/2015 06:18

Nicky I think I'll be last to test. Next AF/BFP not due until 4th May!

Issie339 · 17/04/2015 08:04

Nicky that sounds really promising!

I think I'm the first to test, AF due 22/23 so can test any time now really- eek! Reading the pack of HPTs I have at home it says '78% of women who end up to be pregnant get a positive when using this test 5 days before their missed AF' which is a pretty good accuracy this far out. Might test tomorrow morning or Sunday

nickynackynoo31 · 17/04/2015 08:47

which have you got issie339? ?? sorry if you've already said x

Issie339 · 17/04/2015 09:03
