Littlebelle I'm on cycle 3, feeling a bit fed up too! I wish I had started trying earlier now as well. Fx for those of us still waiting for our BFP!

Lana are you testing again this week?

Congratulations space and why !! How wonderful! Amazing news! Woohoooooo!

I'm going to be out soon, I can feels it in my loins! and even more depressing, I don't even have a fertile week in January at all, so my next go is February!

Ermm Runner where is the grads thread?

Kat I'm still in the race too! Should be testing or getting AF at the end of the month

How you feeling stark? Why you reck you're out?

You're not out yet Starky !

Just caught up with the end of the last thread-congratulations Bubbles!

Just pissed myself laughing at the new dad article, thanks Jamjar!

Congratulations space.

kat I'm still in for Jan. Due af on the 19th.

Hi Bugmuncher! When is your AF due? Mine is due 30th (according to Ovia-cycle length has been 28-33 days post pill!), will we be testing buddies?

Firstgo1974
31 years old
TTC #1
Cycle 3
Irregular periods post pill (33-77 days!) which I stopped in May.

CD14
Opk almost positive this morning (will do one this pm)
No EWCM yet, but more watery over last couple of days. Cervix relatively high.
Fingers crossed this is a more timely ovulation on the way!
Last DTD pn sunday am. Been workong late last 3 nights so just collapsed in a heap. Nwed to get back on it today!!!

Congrats DrWhy and spacepoodle! This really is a lucky thread! Fingers crossed for others as well

ElleSarcasmo - I'm the same as you, AF due around 30th Jan. Feels like such a long way away! I'm trying to be calm and collected but I think the crazy is coming out a little....

Here's the grads thread link. Stark can we add it to the top of the next thread please?

Elle Ovia predicts AF tomorrow, so I might try then. No sign of impending AF (I usually spot before) but I don't have any pg symptoms either...
Loving all these positive test tho, gives us all a bit of hope x

Woooooow congrats to space and drwhy this is a lucky thread!!

After some spotting yesterday nothing today so I guess it's not AF (yet - due on Sat) - planning on POAS tomorrow morning as I'm away this weekend.

starky you're not out til you're out!

Girls don't be fed up, I know it's hard not to be a tiny massive but jealous of the new grads but obviously it wasn't meant to be this month. I'm seeing it as fate, fate wants me to have an October baby like myself so that's the reason I'm not upduffed this month.
Congrats to everyone with a bfp this month and fx for the rest left to test

Aah I'm having an even weepier day today! I've only been up half an hour and I've teared up twice! shelb it's the boobs giving it away, I always get sore lumpy boobs before af, they're my giveaway that I'm a few days away. Admittedly though I've not been this hormonal in aaaaages!

Today's mood has been sponsored by dh clamping the duvet between his knees and rolling over so I woke up shivering and frozen solid.

Stark - my DH does that too! I wake up suddenly and wonder why it's absolutely freezing. Turns out I haven't got any duvet and DH has somehow rolled it around himself so it's really hard to get any back on my side without waking him or pushing him out of bed onto the floor...

Of course runner no probs! How is it over there? Nearly popped in last night to give you all my love but thought I'd be tempting fate if I did, so I didn't!

You're right guys! "YOU'RE NOT OUT TILL YOU'RE OUT! Very important, I feel like I should TM that.

Lol, I'd avoid if I were you Stark... At the moment most of us are struggling to avoid being the first one to be sick

Also, you are not out yet! (Test already!!!)

To all those worrying about not having conceived yet, just remember that despite us trying to take control, it's really just a game of chance. The odds of totally healthy women getting pregnant in any given month are fairly low, so it's just a case of keep on rolling the dice until the double six turns up!

Doesn't stop me crying when AF turns up, obviously

Elle my FF app predicts AF on 24th but if I have a 40 day cycle then I'll be testing on 30th. However I got a flashing smiley face on my OPK which has made me so happy because I've never had a positive before! It's quite sad really

Indi I'd love an October baby too wishful thinking that if I dtd enough it'll happen. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts

Caught OH pricing up his favourite car seat and pram last night on Mother care wtf it's my job to be the psycho they have a sale on and I had to stop him buying stuff. Men!

On the plus side ovia has moved my fw forward by a whole day thanks to super light, day and a half af. Apparently I'd be ready to test on Feb 2nd so I'm now sitting wishing my life away.

bug I did a little victory dance with my cd62 positive cb smiley...

Thanks ladies! I can't quite believe it. It's such a strange feeling.

I was so relaxed about conceiving this month (a little too relaxed with the wine) so maybe that's why it happened? Don't stress, just enjoy the sex.

If it helps to know I ovulated on 26th December - in fact the pain woke me up! My cycle is like clockwork and I always ovulate on CD14. We DTD on 20th, 22nd, 24th, 25th and 30th. I guess it was DTD on the 25th that did it as I felt ovulation about 6 hours later. The only thing I did different was to start taking folic acid + vit D supplements. No implantation bleeding, just a whole lot of crying, insomnia, nausea and strange bubbling sensations. I haven't bloated like I usually do when AF is on the way but my boobs got lumpy and sore as usual, however they are like melons now. They are completely round! I'm already bursting out of a DD, I'm worried I'll be knocking people over with them soon. It sounds silly but I just knew there was a little baby forming inside me.

Stark TEST TEST TEST!!! Those boobs won't tell you anything.

Runner Thank you. It's an honour. I will get my ass over to the grads thread pronto!

Stay positive ladies! YOU'RE NOT OUT UNTIL YOU'RE OUT.

One more symptom... The Christmas tree had a really strong smell, almost like burning. No one else could smell a thing.
