Join us. It's a boat. Full of okp's and symptom spotting and insanity! But also much love and support! We were supposed to start next month, we already have a few bfp's! Our dps don't know what's hit them!

I had a pretty much definite positive opk very late last night, I tested as I had cramping like I was about to ovulate. So we dtd and I did the pillow under my bum pretty much all night. Hoping some swimmers found the egg as I've got no cramping today so far! Ovia now says yesterday was my peak thanks to a positive opk test. I'll force myself on dh again tonight or tomorrow though just to be sure. Then I guess I wait!

Snowdog37 · 15/12/2015 11:04

Oops I lie.... I put my info for this morning in and Ovia went back to Wednesday being peak? Poor dh 😄 He isn't off the hook til Thursday now.

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 11:08

thanks ladies

Runner, I am using sainsburys OPK's. I think I might have missed it too, though we still DTD fairly regularly last week.

Runner05 · 15/12/2015 11:34

Drink with any luck that was the illusion implantation bleed.

Shelb yeh I think you're right. I did see more people claiming it was a sign of pregnancy than not but I'm taking that with a pinch of salt. Some people swore blind that opk's give a positive pregnancy indication before hgc but others claimed the got a positive opk but weren't upduffed.

Have ordered some different ic tests and I'm going to get a couple more FRERs tomorrow. Don't feel confident though.

Go for it Snow

Pink is it worth trying a different brand next month?

I think I'm feeling the pressure a bit now. Yesterday's fake positives have annoyed me because where as before I was bumbling along staying chilled in now really impatient to know.

drinkyourmilk · 15/12/2015 11:45

How many dpo are you runner? A couple of my friends haven't shown BFP until 25/26 dpo. Even after missing af

Runner05 · 15/12/2015 11:50

Drink I'm between 9 and 11 dpo so I know I'm not completely out but just feeling a bit frustrated today.

Doesn't help that I have a headache and feel completely wiped from this cold.

shelbTa · 15/12/2015 11:51

Hang in there runner you are only up to a possible 11dpo so still really early. What are the odds on three duff tests - get a frer if you can?

Runner05 · 15/12/2015 12:13

Shelb I've already done a FRER today. It was definitely a BFN.

I'm going to force myself to wait and try again tomorrow. Think I'm just feeling low because the cold is making me tired. Feel like I should be productive as I've only got two days left at home but I just want to lay on the sofa and watch daytime TV.

drinkyourmilk · 15/12/2015 12:23

Just do what your body tells you runner. Sometimes laying on the sofa is what you need.

Haha shelb sick of the sight of cocktails and balls!

I'm sorry we've got bfn's but there's still time yet guys! You're not out till you're out! And even then it's only a case of waiting a couple of weeks till the next go! this is what I'm telling myself

How are you feeling today bunch? Haha I'm struggling to feel sorry for your Dh snow

drinkyourmilk · 15/12/2015 12:24

I'll join you if you like. I'm recovering from noro. That's why I'm home this week.

BunchOfBobs · 15/12/2015 12:42

I'm having a great day today it won't last. The bloating has waned and I'm eating everything in sight. Also got my 12 week scan booked so it's a good day. Off to the gym in a min- got all the way there this morning and got a phone call to come back for a worktop delivery. So I've been watching OBEM whilst waiting.

How's the crocheting going Starky?

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 13:12

Bunch, so exciting that your 12 week scan is booked! Glad you are feeling well too.

Runner, I think I will get some Internet cheapies. Just reluctant to order on Internet as OH doesn't know I am doing OPKs so don't want him to be in when they are delivered! Might try Boots ones instead.

If I were you, I'd lie on the sofa all day!

shelbTa · 15/12/2015 13:24

Bunch how lovely about your scan!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/12/2015 13:31

pink order the okp's, mine came 7 a plain brown envelope, plus, it's the perfect time of year for it, tell him not to open your post as you've got some Christmas surprises arriving! in fairness though, I could order an elephant in a box and Dh wouldn't know/notice! For his birthday I got him a fish tank plus fish, he was sat literally next to it about a foot away and didn't notice it until I pointed it out!

bunch lovely news about your scan! Crocheting going well! I'll pop a pic up later! I keep starting projects, getting distracted and then when I come back to them, I start a new one though! I have no concentration at the minute!

drinkyourmilk · 15/12/2015 13:51

starky I've got at least 8 blankets half finished. I'm obsessed by blankets!

shelbTa · 15/12/2015 14:29

Ohhhhh I suddenly feel really really rough. Very queasy and faint. Starting to wonder if it's all just a stomach bug....

Runner05 · 15/12/2015 14:49

Exciting news about the scan Bunch when is it?

Pink I told OH that I was using opk's to make sure my body has reverted to normal after coming off the pill. He knows I'm actually monitoring but we have an agreement that I don't tell him about any of it.

Yay stark get the crochet photos on!

Oh no Shelb I hope you're wrong!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/12/2015 14:56

I've got a prickly pain in my left side, low down. Egg clicking out of sack? It's like a twinge. I always used to be able to tell when I was ovulating before I actually cared now I'm wondering if I should try to save up my next wee and do an okp to test. Hmmm. ..

Awww shelb fx it's not a stomach bug and you're feeling rough because of a cheeky little blastocyst!

Will pop a pic up later runner

shelbTa · 15/12/2015 15:24

Sounds good stark save your wee and get it tested!

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 15:42

I think I will order them. I do tend to become a bit obsessive and he's already worried about how I will react if we don't get a BFP this month, so I am trying to give the outward appearance of calm! But possible dodgy OPKs is not helping so am going to suck it up and order them.

Starky - how can you not notice a fish tank...?!

Dosy question time - when we refer to be x days dpo, is that counting from the first day you get a positive OPK test or EWCM?

Runner05 · 15/12/2015 16:01

Err good question Pink I've been counting from the day after, not sure that's correct though

Original poster

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/12/2015 16:14

I'll do one at about 6/7 pm because that's what time I did on yesterday shelb

That's exactly what I said pink honestly, something she's straight on top of, like, if we're walking about shopping, and he notices something going on further up half a mile the road, he'll get hold of my arm and take me across the street. But his car keys can be directly adjacent to him and he'll go "I can't find my keys!" The boy is dopey as balls sometimes!

We dtd just in case I'm ovulating and I don't know, and then I lay with a pillow under my bum and Dh looked at me like I was insane! I've told him in not actually ovulating, I'm just practicing! That way, if it becomes the norm for me to bum pillow, he will get used to it!

BunchOfBobs · 15/12/2015 16:31

It's on the 1st of Feb. Seems so far away but I'm so busy between here and then that the midwife and I are struggling to fit my booking in appointment in. She asked if I wanted the screening afterwards for Down's syndrome etc straight after, just bloods and I said yes. I'm 6 weeks in Friday and absolutely dreading morning sickness kicking in when I'm on the rig. I've stocked up on supplies to hopefully help. Think I'll manage? curapads for backache, it's lovely this pregnancy lark

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 16:36

I was just thinking about it this afternoon and it suddenly occurred to me that I don't actually know when to start counting from!
