Just checking in. Still in the last thries of AF.

How many days is your cycle Ping? Yours sounds similar to mine....blooming long!

Thanks spots sorry about your af but absolutely loving your positive attitude!

birchy which monitor do you have? I've got the advanced one and personally I don't think it's that sensitive, I got my BFP 14 dpo. I've heard that first response is much better for early testing. Also I know CB say you can't read the sticks that you use in the monitor but you can, two lines = BFP. I only know this as every time I've tested and got a BFN there's only been one line.......

Re: temping I've been the opposite to you all, lots of the same temp days on end but a definite dip pre ovulation and pre implantation.....everyone is different I guess!

DS in bed, DH still at cricket, AF still visiting so I'm enjoying a glass of prosecco while I can!

Good for you ODog ;)

Yup banana, stupidly long! My last few have ranged between 33-45 days!

Hey ODog...snap! I am a cricket widow too and also enjoying some wine as AF here...cheeers

Hi girls looking for some advice! My last cycle (1st off pill) was 33 days long. I am now cd19. I had a positive ovulation test at cd13 so dtd then. We haven't been able to dtd much this month as have had a lot on and not been in the house together much. Since yesterday I've had sore nipples which is what I had last month at this stage. However, when I went to toilet (bowel movement sorry tmi!) I noticed I had some ewcm. Is this a sign that maybe I ovulated today and not day 14? I also had ewcm with bowel movement day 16! Today I had some mild cramping too. I'm confused!

If the opk was definitely positive on cd13 then I'd stick with cd14 for ovulation. Cm varies throughout the month for me to, I read you can get ewcm a few times throughout your cycle

Must have been dodgy test other day! Bfn for me this morning but still on 9/10 dpo wont test again till Tuesday now.
When are you doing your 1st test Birchy?

Jelly I get ewcm through the month too, often ages after I've definitely ovulated.

Ok, thanks for the reassurance girls, I guess I'll wait and see, and see how long my cycle ends up being.

I get ewcm at random times during month as well - except this month for some reason. it coincided with ovulation which was a week early so I didn't DTD as much as I should had as I did kind of ignore it (due to random times in other months)

pulpi I tested yesterday with cbfm (advanced) and it was negative and today with a cheapie which was also bfn.

af due tue according to my calculations but wed by ff

Ugh, sorry to hear that birchy. Hoping that it was just a wee bit too early for the hormones to show up.

AF came on Friday

Sorry the witch arrived snow

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

I'm starting to get the build up of cramps. I've also got sore boobies - it's at the side and they fell like full or bruised. Nipples not sensitive. They are especially sore if I bend over with no bra on. Does anyone else get this with af symptoms. I'm finding I'm getting something new every month still since coming of pill.

Next cycle will be my first cycle with clomid

Thanks birchy, tbh I wasn't expecting a bfp this month, I was on my cousins hen weekend durning ovulation but I still had my fingers crossed, at least I was able to have on Friday at the wedding.

Not had sore breasts with AF, but I have found I get much more painful cramping since coming off the pill.

Good luck and fx for next cycle.

Cd7 for me and soon I'll tray for opk

6dpo and no symptoms but massive stress as my mum was blue lit to hospital yesterday wth unexplained collapse. Most of yesterday in A&E the Resusitation bit, and the ward, two more visits today, unexpected guests and more to come

Only just noticed I'm not on the stats and realised I didn't do the stars! Sorry!

I had a positive opk yesterday but won't get to dtd until tomorrow so I was super anxious last night/this morn but chilling out in the sun doing some gardening has kept my mind off it.
My packet does say ovulation within 36 hrs of a positive so I'm really hoping I'm not out. Only started temping 4 days ago so that's not been much help either!!

Sorry for AF Snowflake x

Birchy - I sometimes get sore boobs around ovulation and when AF comes. It's never the nipples. They hurt if I cross my arms or touch the sides. Other months... .......nothing! !

Omg Carrot!! I'm so sorry. Have they found a reason for the collapse? xx

Sorry about your mum Carrot, hope she gets better soon.

My boobs were killing me last month Birchy but I don't get it every month. With all 3 children I have no symptoms at all before BFP so if I don't get sore boobs, cramps or backache I might think I'm pregnant:)

So sorry about your mum, how stressful carrot

Sorry to hear about your Mum Carrot. I hope she's on the mend?
