Yay congrats carrot awesome news.

I think I ov on Friday, and today 4 days post ov I'm getting some cramps mostly on my left side. My cycle was short last month 25 days but surely not this short. Any thoughts ?

Great news carrot! That's wonderful.

Sadly I'm out this month so will tuck in to a glass of wine...

Fingers crossed for everyone else

ODog · 25/08/2015 21:59

Congrats carrot and sorry wilma.

Good to know the leaky boob thing is normal. It seems to have stopped now so that's good.

I'm thinking of testing tomorrow as AF would be due if this is a 28day cycle. Mine have varied from 28-35 which is unhelpful! Good luck to anyone else testing in the next few days.

Obliviated · 25/08/2015 22:02

Can I join in please? I'm driving myself crazy with no one to chat to.

I'm using the Glow app and it says I'm due on Friday. I use OPKs and this month used preseed.

I'm 11dpo today, and have had some symptoms, mainly feeling like AF is going to show up for over a week, creamy/EWCM (but I get that anyway) and a runny nose in the mornings.

9DPO - positive OPK neg HPT
10DPO - the same
11DPO - the same.

I'm totally confused about the positive OPKs, the test line is much darker than the control line but after googling lots it seems that you can get a LH surge before AF shows up.

I just hate not knowing.

First time posting, as you can see been waiting quite some time for some good news. Fingers crossed this month is it!!

ETD is expected test date

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 26/08/2015 08:20

Well temp drop this morning (to just a smudge above the cover line rather than under it, but only because I was a bit early taking it I think: it was a big drop) and another BFN. Expecting AF some time today - probably this afternoon. Onwards and upwards!

BettyFlower78 · 26/08/2015 08:29

ETD 7ish Sept

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 26/08/2015 08:51

Fingers crossed for you BettyFlower! 19 cycles is certainly a fair while. It must have been hugely stressful. Have you had any fertility investigations done?

3Princes99 · 26/08/2015 09:38

Sorry to hear that youandme stay positive

Good luck for this month Betty!

Huge congratulations Carrot, so happy for you Grin what's your due date?

MrsNuckyT · 26/08/2015 10:09

Carrot - that's wonderful news! I remember the feeling of pure amazement when I first saw my little 6 week-old embryo with a flickering heart beat. He's now 2.5 and a complete handful! How exciting and keep us posted by popping back onto the bus from time to time! When is your due date?

I am back onto CBFM testing as am on CD9 already (when did that happen), so hoping high and peak days coincide with the first week of our holiday which should hopefully mean plenty of opportunity and energy for BDing!

weechops · 26/08/2015 10:49

carrot that's fabulous! So happy for you!

I'm cd14 today, no positive opk yet but I usually get a positive on cd15. This is another wasted cycle as dh still away, but I like to feel I'm doing something Grin

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 26/08/2015 11:23

I might have gone a bit mad and ordered a CBFM from Amazon. DH will not be impressed - he thinks we shouldn't be bothering with any of this and that I need to relax. It's interesting - he obviously never really thinks about the whole thing at all.

Obliviated · 26/08/2015 11:44

I've had another very positive OPK today (12DPO) so that's 4 in a row, but a negative (Superdrug) HPT. I tried to check CM this morning but couldn't reach.

I'll be due about 16th April but I will probably opt for a ELCS so it will be earlier. I've now got a 9wk EPU scan, booking in and a 12 wk scan all scheduled so I'm feeling well looked after by the NHS

I'll keep popping back and hope to see lots of BFPs for you all

Hope you don't mind me joining in ladies, as if my period doesn't show up I will be testing sometime in September. I've had a very odd cycle this month with early ovulation (according for Fertility Friend) and two positive OPKs (days apart) and two patches of ECWM, also my temperature pattern is very different to my previous cycles. Actually I have NO idea where I am. If my period turns up I should be able to work out when I ovulated (based on my average luteal phase) but right now I'm a bit Confused. Due to all the confusion husband and I will carry on having sex every other day until something happens one way or another!

MrsNuckyT · 26/08/2015 14:03

obliviated - just out of curiosity why are you doing OPKs if you're 12 DPO?

birchygoo · 26/08/2015 15:30

Welcome all - stats updated! stats link can be found in my original post. Just to let you know we have had another BFP on the hybrid bus - thats 3 from last month, with still a few days left to go

I THINK I am 4dpo today - I had clomid this cycle which has messed with my temps I think - temps have been very high and up and down lots! So temp has not registered ovulation. On CD13 I had a 19mm follicule and on cd15 I had peak on cbfm. Now am cd20. I am really hoping my 19mm follicule didnt decide to go mweh dont think I will turn into a released egg Sad. I think I should be able to test next friday though!

When you are pregnant, you get positive OPKs MrsNuckyT as well. So I guess that is why Obliviated is using them since the HPK is showing as negative.

Obliviated · 26/08/2015 16:18

I first did one because I wanted to pee on something Blush but when it came up positive I started googling and saw that they could pick up HCG so carried on. I don't think that it is HCG that it's picking up though as a HPT would have been positive by now too, it's more curiosity now.

FuzzyOwl · 26/08/2015 16:40

That depends on how sensitive your test is Obliviated. When I got my BFP I also tested with an OPK to see how true it was, along with three brands of HPT. Two have a BFT, one didn't and the OPK was positive. I will dig out a picture.

FuzzyOwl · 26/08/2015 16:42

Here is the picture Obliviated and it was the same the following day - positive OPK but negative HPT with the internet cheapies.
