lilygirlI had that as well this cycle. I was flying back home and DH and I did the deed as soon as I arrived (within 12 hours). I think that was the shag that got me my BFP so definitely DTD!

simplydivine05 · 06/10/2015 07:59

Morning all. Bfn for me this morning at 10/11dpo. Hopefully just too early. If I start spotting on Thursday I know I'm out as that's a sign of af for me. I can't help but think it's not our month Sad

lilygirl81 · 06/10/2015 08:08

london I had to go swimming before I got home, but dtd as soon as I was home. Fingers crossed that's us got it

LondonGirl83 · 06/10/2015 08:40

Fx for you lili

Belleboo23 · 06/10/2015 09:32

To update I had two days Sunday and Monday of brown sometimes bit red discharge and it wasn't alot. Im 12 days after I had the ewcm wish I could've tested to see if it was ovulation but ovulation sticks hadn't arrived. Discharge back to normal today so did a cheap test but was negative. Don't know what's happening now I thought af was starting now back to waiting. If no af may test Thursday at possibly 15 days after ovulation.... wish I'd bought more tests now!! Xx

lilygirl81 · 06/10/2015 10:05

I think I've almost had it with the clear blue dual hormone opk. I know I ov yesterday, but still just saying high fertility not peak, as it has done for the last 10 days! Glad I am going with my body rather than with the tests or I'm sure I'd not have had any chance this month. I'll give them another shot next month, since I got a freebie, but definitely wouldn't buy it.

lilygirl81 · 06/10/2015 11:36

Vikki sorry for AF, hope you can enjoy a good boozy night

Amandamarie I'm just in the 2ww today too, feels like forever!

I had to take an extra painkiller today, all that dtd has played havoc with my dodgy leg, hope my boss doesn't notice I am pretty much just staring blankly at a computer screen

simplydivine05 · 06/10/2015 12:12

Ok, confused as Hell now. I'm bleeding! Not even spotting but actually bleeding. Af not due for 4 days!

Sorry Af arrived Vikki

I just got a call from the doctors for a follow up appointment regarding my fertility bloods is that the norm? Or does it mean they found something

FuzzyOwl · 06/10/2015 14:25

I have been really rubbish at keeping up but am just entering my fertile week so really need to focus! Does anyone know if you can leave it too late to start taking evening primrose oil? I remember taking it that cycle I conceived last time but I am sure I started on CD1 and am now on CD12 with a probably ovulation of CD20.

Loki17 · 06/10/2015 18:06

Sorry simply, our bodies really suck at times. Hope it turns out to be ib.

simplydivine05 · 06/10/2015 21:17

Thanks Loki. It would seem af got me although it was only brown for 5 hours. The cramping has been there but not as severe as usual and it isnt heavy like usual. It is a bit red now. Add that 25 day cycle to my last 5 of 27, 28, 2 x 29 and 30 days. I don't know whether I'm coming or going and I feel so cheated. I didn't even have chance to madly poas every day! No idea when I'm next ovulating so I think I'm going to try opks.

Sakura03 · 06/10/2015 21:52

Hi everyone, cd21 here, used clear blue opks from cd7-20 and never got a smiley, now ordered some cheap opks on Amazon for next cycle so that I can test twice a day. beautician I had a follow up appointment to get the results of my blood tests and they were fine but it was nice to talk it over.

Loki17 · 06/10/2015 21:56

Any chance it could be IB, simply? Hope you get an answer either way. Flowers

simplydivine05 · 06/10/2015 22:08

I thought it was Loki until the red came in. I'm going to see how is pans out. It seems too heavy for IB but plenty of women with bfps have had the same. If it is just af I'm going to book in at the docs.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 06/10/2015 22:33

Fuzzy you can start epo at any time as long as you stop taking it at ovulation. So I guess it depends how late in your cycle you ovulate

Sakura thank you. Hopefully all is well. I just use ic opks from Amazon now. I don't think cb were even giving me the correct time

Rose2806 · 06/10/2015 23:21

Simply hope you find out what is going on soon, it's so frustrating when our bodies stay behaving strangely!

I don't know much about the evening promise oil, how does it help/why shouldn't you take it around ovulation?

I don't know what's going on with me at the moment- not testing for a few more days as didn't get a positive opk until day 18 and 19, so seem to ovulate late but not sure if I even ovulated at all as CM was practically non existent, quite the opposite of what some of you have reported! Have had it in the past on other recent cycles though before we were TTC so hopefully nothing's wrong. Haven't really had any symptoms to try and spot at all so would be really surprised if I'm pregnant this month.

Have a few of you had problems with the clear blue opks?

The witch has well and truly got me this morning Sad cd30 as well so I really had a little bit of hope left the last couple of days. Uck I don't know what's going to happen now. Dh not back til just before christmas and if my cycles stay 30 days then we have no chance at all.

I'm still going to stick around if thats ok. I want to se more bfp's on this lucky bus! Then I'll maybe be Lurky Lurkerson til December Grin

KittyandTeal · 07/10/2015 07:35

Well I'm cd 27 11dpo which is long for me.

Temp still up and 2 bfns so no idea what's going on. Had a tiny bit of spotting 7dpo and cramping for about 4 days. I'm not getting my hopes up as I should have a bfp by now, I'm testing with ic early response tests.

Anyway, I have a doc appointment this afternoon about my luteal phase and general cycle crappiness. I'm not sure anything will come of ot but I've got to ask.

ChatEnOeuf · 07/10/2015 09:02

Sorry Wee and others the witch has got Sad

Congrats to those with BFPs

Hope the docs can shed some light on things Kitty

I'm CD27-8, no signs of anything but a BFN this morning. Last two cycles have been 26 days so who knows what's going on. I have had a lovely (email) chat with the consultant who will be looking after me should I get pregnant, and we've almost agreed a plan of care. We disagree slightly on induction date, but I hope to persuade him in time Grin
