Thank you for all of the congratulations :) I can't wait for more BFPs from you all! Xx

mrsmugoo · 06/04/2015 07:40

I've just done my opk and its a circle for today (cd9)

CuppaSarah · 06/04/2015 09:14

Can you guys see anything? Is it worth getting a frer over this? I think I might just have line eyes.

Sad looking at the test again I think it was just dye run. There's a totally white line on the right hand side of the line, which I think is where the line is meant to be. It's a perfect pink line too, even the same width as the control line. But it's deffo not quite right, it's faded a bit now, but the white patch is clearer than ever. It's going in the bin and I am channeling my inner CarrotPuff self control from now on.

mrsmugoo · 06/04/2015 10:29

Feeling a bit sad today as I think my DH is going to have to go away for 2 days right on our fertile days :(

He's going away next Sunday for a week but now he's having to go away Thursday and Friday too. That will almost certainly mean nothing this month :(

Avasmum8 · 06/04/2015 12:45

Mrsmugoo that's a shame :( can u try to dtd in the morning before he goes or late at night the night before then as soon as he gets back too?

Cuppasarah I can see a line?! I reckon u are pregnant! Congratulations :) try anther one in a few days maybe get a frer, was that with your FMU? Have u got any symptoms? Xx

CuppaSarah · 06/04/2015 13:05

Sorry to hear about that mrsmugoo that's so frustrating, like throwing a month away. But you'll avoid a new years baby at least!

I don't have any symptoms, feel like AF will be here in 5 days like normal. I wish I didn't take the test apart and look at it after the time limit like a div. I'm going to wait and see if my period is late. I still think it must have been dye run, but fingers crossed!

diamondsparkles · 06/04/2015 13:11

Cuppa - that looks like a line to me! You don't always get symptoms- I didn't at all with ds. It's worth testing again in a couple of days.
Mrsmugoo, that's sad. I know what you're going through as dh works shifts and we've had to write off certain months because of it which is so frustrating. You never know though - if you dtd before he goes then as soon as he comes back you may be okay x

CuppaSarah · 06/04/2015 13:24

I didn't have symptoms till 6 weeks with dd, so I don't mind not having any. I'm going to retest once AF is late, she's due in 5 days. So we'll see on Saturday. Still not convinced by this line!

mrsmugoo · 07/04/2015 07:35

Flashing smiley on the opk today Smile

diamondsparkles · 07/04/2015 09:27

Good news Mrsmugoo! I have been very confused with mine this month - went from a blank circle to a fixed with no flashing ones first - and the fixed was 4 days earlier than last month Confused

Cuppa I can see a very faint line. I'm keeping everything crossed for you, and I think you're in for a shot Easter Smile

mrsmugoo swimmers survive up to 5 days, and you might ov later/earlier, so I wouldn't worry. Just as others said, make sure you DTD just before he leaves and right when he comes back.

Trying to distract myself from symptom spotting. But I was very tired yesterday during the day and was falling asleep on sofa. And had a dizzy spell today.

Thanks guys! Still thinking it was a dye run not a line but never mind, I'll get there sooner or later. There was positive pregnancy test left in the toil;et at tesco today. Security tag still on the packaging. Really hit home and put things into perspective. I can't really put into words why or how, but I suddenly don't feel so desperate or upset about not being pregnant.

Also Yay MrsMugoo, best got to it! I'm really hoping you get an ov! But hopefully your dhs swimmers will be survivors and hang out for the egg.

CarrotPuff, that does sound pretty good. I'm hoping that's it for you.

CuppaSarah · 07/04/2015 16:49

An early ov Mrs mugoo, either that of a late one so your dh is home in time.

Thanks Cuppa!

I went from thinking it's not going to be our month to feeling very hopeful. I just hope the witch stays away!

mrsmugoo · 07/04/2015 21:02

Basically we've got today and tomorrow only then that's it - I doubt we'll get a chance Saturday between his two trips but pretty sure it'll be too late by then anyway. Here's hoping!!

Anyway, after I got all upset he's now promised me he's going to be around 100%. He's even said he'll get fertility friend app on his phone and log in as me so he knows where we are in the cycle bless him Grin

CuppaSarah · 08/04/2015 06:47

Well mrsmugoo it looks like I'm back in about to ov world with you. Had some pains around where I imagine my ovaries yo be. Took an opk last night, nearly positive. Took one this morning, darkest positive I have ever had, which means all my others have to be disregarded. Ewcm kicking in big time, temp has been dropping like a stone, so looks like I had a mild virus keeping it up the last week.

To top it all off we could I ng even DTD last night as I was so upset and stressed from a horrible work incident yesterday evening. Sad feeling very sorry for myself.

Avasmum8 · 08/04/2015 07:28

Ahh Cuppasarah hope your okay :( I know how it feels, my work is always so stressful! Fingers crossed u get to dtd today/night?! Xx

mrsmugoo · 08/04/2015 07:29

Sorry to hear that cuppa :(

Flashing smiley again today and DH off 5am tomorrow morning.

No noticeable CM, EW or otherwise here.

CuppaSarah · 08/04/2015 07:37

Are you going to try and DTD before he leaves tomorrow Mrs? That would be true dedication.

I'm OK just very deflated, still very angry about yesterday. Do you mind me venting? I'm an engineer who works on tools, only lady in my area. No one treats me differently except one person. First implies I will sleep my way to a promotion then yesterday was saying loads of horrible stuff and me and women in general. So I called him out on it and he got really pissy. Fortunately I have a witness who will put in the complaint to management for me. I never loose my temper but I saw red. Plus my 'd' sister threatened to lock my dd in the head in a really nasty way. How I'm about to ov after this stress I don't know.

CuppaSarah · 08/04/2015 07:38

Kick my dd rather than lock her whatever that means. Hmm

Oh Cuppa sorry you had such a rough day! Have some Wine or Cake, whatever rocks your boat.

How old is your Dsis? That sounds like a really childish thing to say!

mrsmugoo · 08/04/2015 12:33

Oh god no! Even if I was up for 4am sex, I highly doubt he would be up for it!

mrsmugoo · 08/04/2015 12:34

Oh god cuppa, I just read the rest of your post properly and that all sounds so stressful! Wtf with your sister?!

CuppaSarah · 08/04/2015 17:19

My sister is nearly 30 so no excuse. Had a whole thread on aibu about her. I don't think dh could could with pre 6am sex either. Feeling better now, colleague has been put right. Saw him today and he was very polite and pleasent. Also anyone looking to boost ovulation i can totally recomend soyiso. The strongest opk I have ever had was equal to the control line but look at this!
