Brooke you can get different types of clearblus opks, some have the flashing smiley and some don't, I've used both and both are good.

Violet- hmm, so if we dtd every 2 days then I should have about a 30% chance then based on your strats because we would have defo hit either day of ov or day before. Fingers crossed! I'm home from work now and the HPTs are calling!!

VioletIbiza88 · 17/04/2015 18:55

Ha ha Issie you can't I've not put the 17th on the list!!!!! :)

VioletIbiza88 · 17/04/2015 18:56

Also I'd say I'm about the same chance!

VioletIbiza88 · 17/04/2015 18:58

32% is that sounding good?? fx'd

Issie339 · 17/04/2015 19:06

Ah good point, best wait until tomorrow then lols.

32%...not sure if that feels good or not. Fx!!!

VioletIbiza88 · 17/04/2015 19:14

I probably could test on the 27th (Monday before starting new higher risk work setting) looking at the test that I'm getting it would be 97% accurate 2 days before AF due. But don't know if I want the disappointment....hmmm. I couldn't go with the 78% accuracy Issie if it said no I would just be thinking of the 22% chance it's wrong! How does the accuracy change nearer to missed AF?

VioletIbiza88 · 17/04/2015 19:16

Obviously its great if its positive though! :) Each to their own lol and good luck x

Issie339 · 17/04/2015 19:50

That's what is holding me back Violet, can't face seeing that BFN. I'll probably leave it until at least Sunday.

Yeh test on the Monday...I'm wondering what job you do now that is dangerous, I'm imagining paratrooper or bomb-disposal or jockey or something Grin

nickynackynoo31 · 17/04/2015 21:03

I'm intrigued into your job too Smile Smile

I'm currently going round asda desperately trying to lose the mother in law so I can look at baby things lol Grin Grin

sparklesandfizz · 17/04/2015 21:07

Trying to think of jobs..... Are you a radiographer? Something with chemicals or a circus trapeze artist?......will continue to ponder

VioletIbiza88 · 17/04/2015 21:44

Ha ha did you lose her in the end!! Love some of your ideas for my job!!! But I only said higher risk not high risk! As in higher risk than what im doing currently. But it's A and E, so the risks would be the people really especially on friday, sat nights, plus moving and handling, xrays, etc (although I think that's pretty safe generally with the screens).

Issie339 · 17/04/2015 21:57

Well in my mind you'll always be an MI5 spy Violet

Issie339 · 17/04/2015 22:01

Any good baby stuff in Asda Nicky? I love a good supermarket

nickynackynoo31 · 17/04/2015 22:09

Haha sparkles they were great ideas Grin Grin

nickynackynoo31 · 17/04/2015 22:11

I lost her for just long enough to have a quick look down by isle and Aw. .. there's so many lovely tiny things I wanted to buy them all...

nickynackynoo31 · 17/04/2015 22:28

violet.....I'm just looking at your chart and im confused lol....

do you work our the percentage by what day before ov you dtd??? or am I totally reading it wrong?? x

VioletIbiza88 · 18/04/2015 09:21

Yeah so if you dtd day before ov its 31% chance, day of ov 33% chance etc. What are you rating yours at. Anyone doing anything to take their mind off this wait, what are your ideas x

Brooke113 · 18/04/2015 11:30

I don't know whether to be happy or sad, I had spotting this morning so Af is definitely on her way :(

sparklesandfizz · 18/04/2015 11:34

Weekend always busy and DH 24 hrs on call today so all single handed.
Managed to get them all ready, packed and at the pool for 0855 only to discover swimming lessons don't restart until next Saturday! Bugger but not a bad dry run for school on mon. After r 2 weeks of lazy mornings it could be painful!
Used brucie bonus time wisely and cleaned and mopped kitchen inc oven so am now feeling virtuous.
Dd1 dispatched to dance and collapse with a brew......
Tww only really going to become an issue for me when LO napping next week!
Pondering maths last night and think I'll test earlier than billed
(Although don't want to wreck you stats list violet- good job on that BTW)

a&e ..... Sad times, hope you work in a nice hospital!
I'm with issie and you'll forever be a deep sea diver to me xxx

sparklesandfizz · 18/04/2015 11:37

Sorry Brooke x post.
Be happy - have wine and pate with crusty bread tonight and console yourself that you can get back on the horse soon so to speak.

I already told you I've had a word and may is the one for you. Xx

sparklesandfizz · 18/04/2015 11:48

Issie tis the 18th how's the resolve holding up?
I find that I must not have tests in the house or I just waste them by testing in appropriately early. They are bloody expensive!

nickynackynoo31 · 18/04/2015 12:11

ah well I think 33% then as we dtd on the ov day!!!!!

still feeling sickly today but no as bad...still there in distance tho which I'm taking as good sign....

brooke chin up hun...fingers crossed for you next month xx

nickynackynoo31 · 18/04/2015 12:20

sparkles well done you...please could I have some of your energy Smile Smile ...

I have a whole load of plans for today but still to put them into practise yet lol x

Issie339 · 18/04/2015 12:43

Not great news from me today, have the first early signs of AF today so pretty sure I'm out for this month too Sad

Try not to be too sad Brooke, although I'm feeling pretty down myself today. Fx next month is our month xx

Well done Sparkles, epic effort this morning!

Brooke113 · 18/04/2015 13:07

Thanks everyone, sorry for selfish meme post, I promise to be back to normal in a couple of days :)
