So,
AF is due today but no sign yet. I did a test last week as had lots of symptoms and BFN and the week before the same, both ebay cheapie's.
I definitely feel funny sore boobs, knackered, indigestion, acid reflux - yuk and weird pulling sensations in my lower abdomen, and feeling nauseous but eating makes me feel better.
Too scared to test and get another negative.... I've bought some clear blue non digital tests....
This is only cycle number one and already I can't think about anything else!!

KittyandTeal · 27/08/2015 17:26

Violet I've found the same with preseed. The whole 4mg (or whatever they advise) is a stupidly huge amount, half of it dripped down my legs!

I'm giving it a go without this month. I figure a decent amount of ewcm should do the trick

Emu123 · 27/08/2015 17:34

I've been using pre seed and quite like it but haven't asked my DH what he thinks!!! We've been pretty busy so sex has been rushed (tmi) so think it's helped!!! I do wonder afterwards though if it's making me think/seem like I've got my ewcm than I actually have. Anyone else find that?? Sorry if that's a bit gross!!

Emu123 · 27/08/2015 17:35

Sorry tag should have read more ewcm

Snowflake16 · 27/08/2015 17:39

AF got me on Tuesday morning while at work. This time I took it really hard and ended up crying my heart out in the toilets. For the first I thought I might be pregnant, I'd had a major appetite, strange taste, sore boobs. Then when I went in yesterday and found out a colleague is 5 weeks pregnant, so the fake smile went on while I was dying inside.

So sorry snowflake

CarrotVan · 27/08/2015 19:58

Since we were discussing OPK/HPT tests before I did one of each - same sample, same dip and waiting time and took a photo

So weird

So sorry you are upset snowflake it must be crushing especially when others are announcing pg. just think that someday soon it will be you announcing to colleagues.

I'm CD 30 today. No sign of AF and no BFP. I think I'll POAS in the morning if AF doesn't show overnight. I'm sure i was a few days late before I got a bfp with DS so fx!

Emu123 · 27/08/2015 22:13

It's awful when that happens snowflake feel for u Hun

Emu123 · 27/08/2015 22:13

Fingers crossed odog - let us know how u get on!!!

pulpi · 27/08/2015 22:26

Snowflake, I'm right there with you. Was sure I was pregnant, but AF crept up anyway. Big hugs... and a big bottle of wine for you. But not my wine. Because there's none left. And now I must stagger to bed...

Obliviated · 27/08/2015 23:10

That OPK is so dark Carrot! LH and HCG are really similar so the OPK picks up the HCG too.

No AF today. The app I use has decided that since it didn't appear today I must be due for it it arrive on Saturday instead.

BFN when I tested this afternoon, positive OPK again.

Question for OPK users - when you get a positive for ovulation, does it usually stay positive for 6 days? Wondering whether it could be a late ovulation and the OPK was wrong 14 days ago or something.

Also I read you can get a LH surge before AF but a surge for 6 days?

These are positive OPKs aren't they? I'm not reading them wrong? (The bottom one is a negative HPT)

They look + to me

ODog · 28/08/2015 07:31

Just had a very very faint bfp. So I'm tentatively excited. It was so faint though I'm worried it could just be an Evap line. Will test over the weekend to see if it gets stronger before splashing out on a cb digi.

Welcome biscuits. My DS is also 14mo. Are we crazy for starting again so soon??

jbiscuits · 28/08/2015 08:05

Well I originally wanted an 18 month age gap no idea why but DH was in the middle of changing jobs, and we wanted to wait to make sure he gets paternity leave. I'm now very glad as a 2 year gap seems much more manageable (most of the time)!

Fingers crossed for your bfp!

CarrotVan · 28/08/2015 08:30

Fx odog very exciting

SharyBobbins · 28/08/2015 09:22

Morning ladies, just catching up with this thread. Hope everyone is okay, we all seem to be having different ups & downs on this ttc rollercoaster. Fingers crossed for 'ups' for everyone soon.
We've been using conceive plus this cycle which is similar to preseed I think. OH just puts a bit on his fingers (TMI- sorry) as we didn't go for the applicators. I think its helped when DTD for ttc purposes only. My body let's me down a bit sometimes in that department. Think it's starting to feel the pressure Blush I've had +ve opks these past couple of days but no sign of the rise in bbt you're supposed to get after ovulation Sad so not sure what's going on there. Bloods next Thursday Confused

Obliviated · 28/08/2015 09:57

Fingers crossed Odog.

BFN here this morning, I had a lovely evap line though that I stared at until it gave me a headache.

CM has dried up though so I'm pretty sure AF will be here today or tomorrow.

KittyandTeal · 28/08/2015 10:06

Oooo fingers crossed ODog :)

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 28/08/2015 10:08

Good news odog!

Still no AF, and temp still above the cover line. I didn't bother testing this morning though as I am fed up of BFNs! I think given I've had so many, and also had a negative OPK the other day, this is a miscalculated ovulation not a pregnancy.

I'm hacked off - before ttc I never had a cycle longer than 30 days! If I did ovulate as late as CD19 or 20 (as I now suspect) I completely missed it again - we DTD seven days in a row up to CD18!

Still - I've got my fertility monitor now - so maybe I'll get it right for cycle 3!

Banana79 · 28/08/2015 10:32

So sorry Snowflake, it's so hard.
Fingers crossed Odog
CD31 over here and nothing doing. Tested yesterday (4 days early) BFN
What is happening with the Talk app? It's crap at the best of times but now I'm locked out

SharyBobbins · 28/08/2015 10:36

Locked out of the app too Banana!! So frustrating because although it's a bit rubbish I still find it easier than using the forums on my phone's web browser!
