I think it's continued stress that causes problems though ... Stress over the whole cycle type thing. Try not to worry too much.

OH said shall we do it again this morning to "top it up" as he doesn't want to miss the egg hehe
No dtd tomorrow then once more Monday then I'm sexed out....!
Cd 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 then 17.

Sending positive vibes everyone's way. Hope everyone is ok xx

Didn't manage to dtd last night as to tired and we have friends over tonight so will have to start tomorrow.

I had a few cheeky glasses of prosecco last night and my temp is well up this morning, 38.8. Alcohol always does that to me. It's gray and foggy here but supposed to be nice tomorrow so we are going to have a barbecue.

Radders your oh sounds very enthusiastic!.

Good luck everyone in the 2ww.

Summer when do you test?

Footprints, I was tempted to do a test this morning too. But I'm going to hold out. If this is AF showing its symptoms, I think it's coming after me hard!! :-/

I test on Monday Nim. Due AF on Friday/Saturday. Going to test with FR.

Just had a dizzy spell - thank goodness I was already laying down! I get those sometimes...

Not sure if I can wait off testing much longer, not that I have any hope for this month... I have two FRER, a clear blue and about 20 ICs!!

9dpo tomorrow - way too early to test! Talk me down off the ledge!! But I was going to test Wednesday, just not sure how I will feel after the test with going to work and all... I have no poker face!

Summer I don't know how you have restrained yourself!

If you can hold back I would. 9dpo is really early and its likely to bfn but not reliable, so you're not much wiser. Push it to the back of your mind if you can!

Good effort radders!

We DTD 12,13,14,16 and got my positive OPK day 15. Really rather enjoying the DTD of late so think will keep going

Does anyone else enjoy it more when hungover?!

I'm not going to test anymore now until 14dpo from last attempt of Ov. I've not had anymore positive opks which this is the longest space between them since cd14, so holding onto that hope that it was successful the last time** (or it could well have given up!) So I'm 9 dpo today from that date so prob too early.

Wouldn't say i was nauseous today just occasionally I felt uncomfortable in my tummy. AF type cramps still, CM & bloated tummy. Very fed up and emotions are high.

Hard not to test.. Every time I go to the loo I have to think if I need to poas! Might have to poams! (Pee on a match stick) instead just to give me something to do!

I tested too early physic! Don't do it. Do you have any other symptoms apart from dizzy spell?

Can't say I enjoy it with a hangover Jem!
I seem to enjoy it more when I'm stressed! Well done you though! I really don't fancy a drink today or any choc Brazil's

Omg footprints, you and I could be sharing news at similar times!!! I'm 11dpo today! I'm sooooo bloated it's uncomfortable!! Really uncomfortable!! Breasts are still huge and sore!! I was hoping to test Monday, would that still be too soon? I should I hold out to Tuesday? By Tuesday 14dpo. :-)

Not really footprints. I would say I've been getting 'twinges' not quite cramps. Creamy CM but I always get that in the LP, but probably not this much generally. Actually pretty convinced I am not, but I just wanna know!! Must hold out until at least Wednesday! Then I would be 12 dpo. Doing it Thursday (13 dpo) might be a push as I have to get up really early to go to my Citizenship ceremony!

Just feeling the need to pee on something! Those ICs are burning a hole in my pocket!

Stopped drinking at the beginning of April (for this and weight reasons) so don't get those cursed hangovers anymore!!! And I've gone down nearly a dress size! So no dtd while hungover here jem.

I haven't dtd whilst hung over for ages as I don't drink anymore!

Physics I got my BfP last month at 9dpo using FRER. However the heartache of losing one week later has put me off testing too early. If I hadn't have tested I wouldn't have known and it wouldve just been like a normal period.
Having said that I'm thinking I would prefer to know if had CP in case it's always happening so would testing early be better?!

I'm eating Brazil's and pineapple everyday now. Wish I had chocolate covered ones though like you footprints!

Not sure why my type keeps appearing in bold? Silly phone. Sorry you must think I'm mad.

Anyway morning girls. CD37 10dpo

Stats today- no AF, temp a whopping 36.66! Highest yet. Clear CM so far, boobs ok. Hungry!

Radders- yes I totally get why u wouldn't want to have that heartbreak again and also u would like to know if u did get pregnant. I just want to know either way I think. It's too tempting. You did well on dtd! I haven't dtd for 6 days now!!

Physic- congrats on your citizenship! Hopefully u will get you BFP that day too! Will be a British citizenship BFP

Do I did FR this morning. I'm due AF fri/sat.
It was negative!
I will test again during the week, probably on Thursday. But, I think it will be back to square 1.

CD162dpo

Summer still might be too early to pick anything up so don't get too disheartened

Tee hope you're ok... I think you're ok your spa weekend from memory so hope it's nice and relaxing for you.

Footprints nice high temperature there. Mines at 36.57 this morning.
The thing is if you don't know you're having chemicals then you can't investigate them can you.
Think I will see how I go but I'm
Not testing as early as I did last time.
Sounds promising for you regards the negative Lh so hoping you've ovulated now. Did you get a temp dip at all around ovulation or has it remained high?

Physics how's the urge this morning?

CD15
Morning all!
I've had crap wifi at the hotel, so have missed catching up with the mumsnet goss! Can have a good read when I'm home. Spa has been amazing, had a hot stones on Friday and a full body Saturday, bliss! We haven't DTD once! Last time was Thurs, I was expecting to ov late Friday early Saturday, but my temps (including this morning) are still really low?! I know it's totally my own fault for having this stupid pink sway in the back of my mind (so I avoid ovulation day itself), but without knowing when that definitely is, I'm just missing a lot of opportunities! Ovia told me I scored 10 for fertility (peak) on Thursday, but it's only my first month recording data. Maybe my temps are messed up because I'm in a different room/bed, but I'm thinking maybe I haven't ov'd yet as I am quite crampy today. Think I'm going to throw caution to the wind and DTD before we check out!
Good luck to those testing this week! Summer I would write off that test, it's too early to get an accurate result. xx

I caved! IC BFN. Was expecting it. Not disappointed, - if anything I already know 9 dpo is too early, but I am kinda treating this as a Science project so that I can deal with it all emotionally... if that makes sense! Trying to be a detached observer as per usual. Might FRER on Wednesday....

Hi all, been busy this weekend so haven't had much chance to post.

Summer was AF due Friday/Saturday just gone or this one coming? As if it's this one coming then it's too early to test and I would disregard.

Tee I would def try BD before leaving hotel

Exciting week approaching for summer, footprints and physic. I am looking forward to hearing your announcements!

Cycle buddy Nim how are you getting on? When are you going to start using OPKS? I might POA OPK from tomorrow daily as I don't want to miss it!

When does everyone else start using OPKs?

We DTD on Thursday and last night (trying to encourage fresh swimmers) im not really 100% sure when I will ovulate as its my first cycle since Mirena removal. According to FF and based on a 28day cycle I will ovulate on 14th so this week I will try BD Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Sorry to hear about the bfns but hope to see these turn to bfps over the next few days.

jodders I usually start opks on day 10 but then I usually ovulate on day 15. You could start a bit earlier than that to be safe?

Jodders, its due next week Friday/Saturday 13th/14th May. Thanks everyone for encouragement. I had one FR left so thought would give it a go. I'm now going to test closer to AF arrival. I might get a clear blue digital one, but I'm going to hold out. (If I can).

Good luck ladies those of you who are now approaching ov window! :-)

I think I will start tomorrow to be safe. If it does end up being next weekend I will be happy as DH is off work. If it's later then I won't feel very confident as he is back at work and no chance to DTD then

Waves to everyone. Sorry have been mia. It's been a hectic week and it's been nice to catch up on all the gossip.

Fingers crossed for summer, footprints and physic here is hoping those early bfn mature into bfps

I'm soooo green with envy tee. Would love a get away too and be pampered. Hope you are having an awesome time and throw in a little dtd

Jodders- I'd start cd8, I did as had no idea when I'd ovulate. If you have the IC ones it doesn't work out too expensive that way.

Physic/summer sorry for your BFN's. Think we're being over enthusiastic with testing too early. Although radders got her BFP before this early.

Tee- make the most of the hotel facilities before u go! Pinch the toiletries too (you'll need those for your maternity suite at the hosp! )

Physic, good to see it like a science project. That's why all these symptoms we may have could be read years to come by women in our position. Educational for us all.

Enjoy the sunshine.. It's so warm here. Bikini on in the garden..Greek salad being prepared for lunch..

Thanks again jem for the update, you are a !!wishing you lots of patience in the tww jem and radders.

Jod, nim and tee hope you catch the egg..sexathon fast approaching!!

Hope our group baby is doing fine parney and not giving you too much trouble. 7 weeks soon.

Cd19 having been having terrible headaches and was put on bp medication, so feeling better. Getting impatient de need to get my bfp soon and irritated by H now wanting lots of dtd after fw bugger!!?

Footprints, never thought that others will someday google and read up our posts. Had forgotten I'm very good at reading posts((hate the ones where pple never go back to give us feedback on what eventually happened))

Lol at the toiletries, already thinking ahead ((clever woman))
