Hey ladies! Nice to hear from you Shan! Hope ov comes soon for you hun! Are you taking Agnus or anything? Lou, I'm impatient too and would prob test as early as I could! Achy boobs is a good sign Mrs!

Chapman, you must be counting down the days now until your midwife appointment! So exciting!

Well another dark, dark positive OPK today. We managed to dtd yesterday morning and night! I don't think we'll manage tonight as DH has said he's knackered (been BD'ing since Friday ahh!). Do you think that'll be enough? Ideally I'd want to do it tonight too incase the egg hasn't popped yet. We'll see! Xx

Thanks sunny . If I'm not due until 10th may I don't understand why I have aching boobs already!!! Unless my cycle is shorter this month? Or I'm pregnant? Oh this is so hard lol. They usually only hurt for a couple of days before AF but it's been longer this time.

Thanks cookie! I know it's a good sign just don't wanna get my hopes up!

Glad you've had positive OPK's, by the sound of it you've done more than enough, they say once every other day is fine xxx

Welcome Claire and Soph! and welcome back Shan glad you found us on the new thread! Hope you ov soon lovely.

Cookie - So pleased you got your positive at last! fx you catch that pesky egg!!

Lou - fx for a bfp for you in a few days

Chapman - so excited for you on Friday! Hope it doesn't drag too much

Lou, have you been doing OPKs? Maybe your boobs are sore because you're ov'ing? I never really get sore boobs but I've noticed that they do get tender around my ovulation! It so frustrating isn't it, not knowing what's happening!

How's you Bobo? What CD are you on now lovely?

Well I managed to work my womanly charm on DH as he got in from work, so I'll treat that as 'one more for luck' 😄😄. OPK was fainted at 4pm today so I think I've ov'd today! Have really tried really hard this month- please let it be enough! Xx

Faint not fainted*

I haven't been doing OPK's cookie but will next cycle if not successful this time. I've never had tender or sore breasts during ovulation plus I'm not getting any EWCM! Just going to have to wait and see I think!

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you this cycle cookie! I'm sure you've done more than enough, your poor egg won't know what's hit it! xxx

Well done on your "one for luck" cookie!! You have done all you can. Fingers crossed for you.

Fingers crossed the boobs are a good sign loulabelle. Mine hurt earlier this cycle that any previous.. But then they also used to hurt a lot more on the pill and obv wasn't pregnant so sometimes it's just fluctuating hormones that does it.

I feel generally better the last few days, less nauseous and food averse, but then just randomly vomiting out of the blue. Only about once a day but with zero nausea or warning. I was literally just sat on the sofa, worrying (typically) about my lack of symptoms today...iv felt great all day, no nausea, not tired and actually wondering what I fancy for tea. Went to the loo and bent down to pick something up and just suddenly just thought "oh crap I'm gonna vom" and there it was! I'm not complaining as although it's dreadful at the time I'd rather be sick than having that dreadful stomach churning nausea all day, where you can't concentrate or do anything. I'm just a bit worried I'm going to actually vom on a patient/mid sentence. X

Cookie - really hope you get your bfp this cycle lovely! Dh and I dtd loads last month and it's so annoying when you really try and its a bfn! It's definitely your turn to become a resident preggo though

I'm CD 9 and had some pain earlier which I couldn't quite tell if it was ovary pain or sciatica/leg pain. Did an opk and got a line so guess it was ovary pain! Going on previous cycles I get v pain 5-7 days before I ov and lines start building up from then too! So I should ov in the next week! Which is much earlier than last cycle I flipping love Agnus Castus!

Looks like I am out this month :-( AF arrive this morning. Really unexpectedly as I am only 8dpo. Feeling quite down about it which is a bit silly as its only our first month ttc but was feeling really hopeful as I used opks, dtd several times around ovulation, ate really healthily, cut out caffeine and alcohol, took vitamins. I don't know what more I could have done!

I know it's irrational as the chances of getting pregnant are 20ish percent every month but just feeling really sad about it. Burst into tears this evening because I forgot to get ingredients for hubby's birthday cake and think he didn't know quite what to do! oh well start again from scratch this month!

Haha sunny the image if you accidentally vomming on a patient is quite amusing! Not brilliant for you but if it makes you relaxed having symptoms it's a positive thing

Really sorry af got you Claire! I think we all felt like that first cycle. You build your hopes up and as you can't compare it to other cycles you start to feel pregnant. Crying is normal, your dh will et used to it fx this cycle will be the one for you!! New cycle, new chance

Yeah well what will be will be!

Sorry to hear of your vomming sunny! Must be horrible!

Sorry AF got you Claire. It's a long old process ttc. I wish it was like I always used to think where u could get pregnant any time u had unprotected sex . How amazing would that be?! xx

I know Loulabelle! You spend so many years trying not to get pregnant and thinking it would be so easy to accidentally get pregnant and when you actually want to it's not so easy!

Snap, all those times at school where you are told it only takes once! (I know that can be true but look at us all trying so hard!) I worried for years a was going to get pregnant on the pill, used to wait anxiously for period every month and even did a few terrifying pregnancy tests... Wish I'd saved my worry now!! Haha! X

Ps sorry about AF Claire.. It's ok to be sad and disappointed. I used to allow myself to mope on the day I came on but then Onward and upwards to new cycle, good luck for this one!

Bobo good for the Angus, hopefully you ov this week! X

Hey all getting af pains today ? Cud it be over or af? I'm not sure but can feel them there not strong but I know there there ?

Shan - Do you think you ov'd already? I know everyone is different but for me af pains are central cramps whereas ov pains are an aching on either left/right. What do they feel like hun? X

I'm not sure? It was very slight but my ov pains are usually like pressure n pulling more that cramping it's gone now? But getting back pain which only happens during ov so I hope it's ov?

Sorry to hear about AF Claire, hope you're ok hun. How's the sickness today Sunny? Hope it isn't too horrible but must feel quite reassuring too! Have you had any nausea yet Chapman? The weeks are just flying by girls, yous will be at the 12 week mark before you know it!

Loula, have you had any more symptoms of BFP or ov?

1dpo past ov for me and the crazy lady symptom spotting has begun! Pelvic pains started yesterday (which i usually get around ov, though strangely did not get last month. This makes me think im perhaps not ovulating every month!) It feels very uncomfortable but usually only lasts a few days. Feeling very windy too

Ahh, at least another 10 days to wait until I cave and test. Don't think I can handle the wait this month!! xx

Ps Shan, sorry I never seen your message there. Have you been doing OPKS? Hopefully it is ov pain! Have you DTD recently? xx

Have dhd the last 3 days/nights in a row 😂 not today doh but will tomorrow night

Morning ladies,

So, I have 3 apps on the go (please don't judge me!) I had one then I downloaded another two to see what they would say out of curiosity.

So one app says I ovd between 13-17 April and due on 30th April

Another says I ovd between 14-19 April, due on 10th May

The last one says I ovd between 9-14 April due any day.

I don't know which one to go with! I am not sure whether to wait until the latest one on 10th may or wait until I am 14DPO which will take me to next Tuesday? (If I've not come on by then) xxx
