Hi to all the newbies Smile

I'm on cd 17 and haven't temped this month so no clue if I've ovulated. I got a cb digi smiley on day 13 and we dtd on 13, 14 and 15 which is v impressive for us!!! Still got ewcm though so not sure if I've od or not as I thought it usually disappears

Guess we will dtd today and then maybe eod next week. I thought not temping would be less stressful but now not sure Confused

Banana79 · 23/08/2015 09:24

Princes I missed my surge too! First month using cbdigi instead of the ICs too...waste of money grrrrAngry

I think actually I ov'd a week earlier than Ovia was telling me which was while OH was away on cricket tour so I'm not hopeful. Only a week to wait now xxx

3Princes99 · 23/08/2015 10:59

Morning Banana! Hopefully you didn't ovulate early and there's still a chance. I had a tiny bleed and ovulation pain 5 days before my app said I did. I have more of a chance if I ovulated when I think I did. I hate the not knowing and af will be late if I go by my app ovulation too! Will be very confusing Confused

I go on holiday on the 30th so if af arrives a day or 2 after then at least I'm enjoying myself whilst away. Will take some tests with me on the off chance af doesn't arrive Smile

Hiya, I've had to do a slight name change as I couldn't remember my password to change it and couldn't remember which email address Id used to sign up. Birchy can you change my name on the stats pls. Was VioletIbiza88 now just Violet88. Also stats are changing slightly due to a 26 day cycle last month.


Violet88, 27, ttc #1, cycle 6, OTD 8/9/15.

I think I've decided, in line with DH and I discussing a more layed back approach, to not do opk this month and just temp.

pulpi · 23/08/2015 14:31

Sitting at 10 dpo with a headache that goes all the way to my toes. AF due Tuesday. Too soon to POAS?

RalucaMorena · 23/08/2015 14:57

I would give it a couple more days

pulpi · 23/08/2015 17:01

You're probably right, Raluca. I'll eat my weight in nutella in the meantime. Also, cheese. And there's some ice cream around here somewhere...

RalucaMorena · 23/08/2015 18:22

At least you can eat! Envy i've been sick all day and only now settled down a bit. Still , yesterday was bfn so I am not sure what happened here...Confused

pulpi · 23/08/2015 19:15

Was it the crazy waves of nausea, Raluca? I put mine down to the headache and the obscene amount of wilted garlicky spinach I had with my fried egg, but the waves have been hanging about more frequently this weekend.

How many dpo are you now? Any chance the BFN becomes a BFP in the next few days?

pulpi · 23/08/2015 19:18

Oh gods, sorry Raluca, I just scrolled up and found my answer. Here's hoping it was just too early to test!

RalucaMorena · 23/08/2015 19:20

Tx pulpi...af due tomorrow so we will find out soon

pulpi · 23/08/2015 19:32

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Vikkijayne2507 · 23/08/2015 21:55

I got a sort of positive opk only ic yesterday on sat. I say sort of as it was pretty dark and today it has completely vanished without a trace. Dtd wed and Friday, will maybe attempt today but oh and I are in our pjs drinking wine now baby is in bed. This worked last time had sex day b4 opk so hoping again now the loong wait

ODog · 23/08/2015 22:09

Been away for the weekend so I haven't been keeping up. Welcome to any newbies and congrats if I have missed any BFPs (had a quick scroll and I don't think I have! Hmm). I'm 11dpo (down to my own guess work) and 14 dpo according to my app. AF is due on Wednesday, although this is based on a 28day cycle. Mine can vary from 28-35. What's the concensus...shall I poas in the morning?

Emu123 · 24/08/2015 06:33

Good luck to odog and pulpi if u poas today!!

raluca hope AF stays away Smile

ODog · 24/08/2015 06:41

Thanks emu.

I'm lying in bed now considering whether I should as its almost certainly too early and I said I wasn't going to get into that but I probably will

pulpi · 24/08/2015 07:05

Slight temp drop today, but still well above the coverline. I am hoping the spotting doesn't start tomorrow. If AF stays away, I'll POAS on Wednesday, I think.

PipeDownSmallFry · 24/08/2015 08:38

Waiting, waiting, waiting, driving myself a bit crazy! AF not due till next Tuesday/ Wednesday and trying to wait till then to test. Seem to convince myself that any slight change in my body or mood is a symptom (clearly it's not).

Just need to keep busy. I'll start by having a lovely cuppa.

Hope everyone has a good Monday.

willma86 · 24/08/2015 08:52

Bit late to the party but can I join? TTC #1 this will be my 12 month TTC and starting to get pretty down about it all. AF due tomorrow and had watery brown discharge last night. Was so convinced this was our month but losing hope after last night.

ODog · 24/08/2015 09:14

I poas and it was bfn, AF not due until Wednesday though so I'll try again then. Pulpi - we will be testing the same day!

Welcome willma and aorry to hear you are getting down about it all. I can't pretend to know how that feels but hopefully this thread will help give you some support. Fx this is your month.

Thisisbonkers · 24/08/2015 09:46

Good luck to those testing this week!

I'm peeing on some cb opks this week. It does say to test anytime of day as long as it's been 4 hours since the last pee (surely it's not just me who can't go that long during the day?!) so FMU it is. I've only got 7 sticks though and last two days have been negative so might skip tomorrow ( or do a cheapie?). It would be much easier if I had a regular cycle.

Am debating doctors after this cycle (10), as although it hasn't yet been 12 months, we haven't exactly been careful over the previous two years prior to ttc. Otoh, I don't want to know that there is a problem as I'd rather bury my head in the sand Blush basically want someone to wave a magic wand..!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 24/08/2015 10:14

I'm testing on Wednesday too! I did naughtily test yesterday (11dpo but not with FMU) using an Internet cheapy, but it was a BFN. Could just be too early still though.

I feel really sick this morning and I did throw up, but I had a sandwich yesterday with some leftover crab mayonnaise in it, so tbh it could just be that! I'm pretty prone to nausea anyway, especially just before AF.

willma86 · 24/08/2015 10:19

I know the feeling thisisbonkers! I want to bury my head in the sand too. I came off the pill exactly this time last year. I've been putting it down to moving house / job etc but not sure how much longer I can run with that! Had a progesterone check and that was fine but that's it...

Emilygremily · 24/08/2015 12:24

I am off on holiday today still none the wiser no AF or BFP, however i had a slight bleed on Saturday night at around 23:00 only lasted the length of Sinister 2 in the cinema ;) but i am not sure what that meant :( i have never had a bleed which hasnt been AF :( getting down now as i think it is too late to even get a BFP CD41 usual cycle 30 - 36 days
