radders I think Father's Day is 19 June so not far off your dads birthday. Really hope you get to give him this good news!

Well I must admit I did have the urge to POAS today. DH is away at work until tomorrow so I'll definitely not - but I will also struggle to wait until Friday.

Had some friends over today. One brought her 7 month old daughter. Was so lovely having a baby rolling about on our lawn. Broodiness is through the roof.

Not much by the way of symptoms but boobs still heavy and sore, still nauseous on and off. We walked to the shops this afternoon and I felt overwhelmingly tired and light headed - but then I had a really crappy nights sleep. My heart also still feels like it's beating faster.

God I really want a bfp so much

CD 15
Sorry I have been missing I had friends visiting this weekend and with the weather being so lovely we have been out day and night.
So I missed two days of OPKs today's looks a lot darker than Friday but I don't know if I missed the positive or not.
So far have DTD CD 5,7,9,12,13,14 and will try tonight so 15 too. And then I will hope that is enough!
I have EWCM the last two days, feel frisky, bloated and OV pains occasionally too.
I have everything crossed for everyone to get a BFP this month and June - going to be positive about it!

Jodders no need for opks when you're BD'ing that much! You are well and truly covered!! Good that you got all the other signs of ov x

Jod definitely another gold star for dtd! Go you :)

It's so tempting to test in the morning but will only be 10dpo. Not even that as only ovulated the night time I think so technically it's not 10dpo until the night!
Ovia is telling me to test on Wednesday.

I know what you mean Jem. I want a BFP so much too... I hate the not knowing and that's why I want to test so much. Even if get BFN it's the fact I know for now....
I don't have enough tests to serial testing though. Only 2 and I'm not buying anymore ... Only a digital if get a positive!

Jodders you sound super fertile 👍🏼

Rad totally with you. I've got a stash of Internet cheapies plus two frer in the cupboard.

Reckon will test with cheapies and if I get a faint line then jump onto a frer

Hopes are a bit up now really don't want to be let down again!

Hi ladies, so excited for u all.

Poas IC today mid afternoon because I was bored and I thought I saw a line but it's just the shadow or evaporation line where the test line should be. I think. Plus its wonky ! Yes a wonky squiffy line! Someone having a laugh somewhere.. Ha

Anyone else see the evap line on the IC ones? Didn't notice it last time I tested. Going to do another in morning with FMU but really think I'm not. Just want to check it out again to see if it happens again .

Bit more positive today in myself and planning diet for next week. Going to carry on incase I ovulate again and just missed AF. No sign of AF yet. Calling gp tomorrow see what they say.

Yes gold star to Jodders for dtd so much this week!

I need to plan my attacks for the month - got a feeling DH going to play hard to get.
Maybe I'll buy him the horny goat weed and slip it in his drinks! Hee hee

Thanks for letting me stay on your thread with my dodgy cycle and wonky test lines! must have wonky hormones too

CD24 - 10dpo

Morning everyone. I woke up feeling so sick and anxious this morning so I used the FRER - BFN which is a bit pants. So whether it's too early or whether it's telling me the truth I'm not sure but I feel bit better for knowing now.

CD239dpp
Good luck with GP Footprints, let us know what he/she says.
Radders sorry about the FRER, but I think you know what I'm going to say.... remember implantation is anywhere from 7dpo-13dpo, then you need 3 days of hcg build up before seeing a line. So technically you would have had to implant at the earliest stage of that range to be able to see a line today? You may not have even implanted yet? Chin up, not over or out yet! x

Oh yea I know it's super early but I think because I got my BFP this time last month at 9dpo I had that in the back of my mind. Maybe I was going to have twins last month that's why it showed up so early?!

I feel ok actually. I don't feel sick now because I know so can go to work and not think about it! If I didn't do it I would've been worried all day xx

Morning all. CD 16 . I think I oved yesterday.dtd CD 7, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 15 so I hope I'm in the running.

I'm exhausted now, I need an early night to catch up on my sleep. Smep says I should dtd tonight as well but I think I'll give it a miss.

My temp was slightly up this morning so well see what it's like tomorrow.

Footprints this thread is as much yours as ours. Wonky cycle and all.

Jod wow that's impressive. Join me in the dreaded 2ww. I'm going on holiday in a week so I'm really busy, hopefully it won't drag too much. I'm going to have to pack some pregnancy tests to take with me. I'm not going to test until I'm truly late.

Thanks Mimi I've got my fingers crossed.

Good luck Jem, Tee and Radders. Hoping for BFP. Sorry AF got you Physics and Russ.

Well done Nimi, those DTD sound great, you've done everything you can, up to the swimmers now!
Radders, perhaps you implanted super early last cycle. So glad you feel better for it though. I wonder what this week will hold for us! More symptoms hopefully. Still nothing to report my side. Jem anything?? x

foot please don't go anywhere! How cruel of ic to tease you like that. Defo try another with fmu.

Sorry it was bfn radders hope it's just too early. Absolutely fair enough you needed to see a test before the day ahead of wondering.

Good work ni, if you ovved yesterday I'd try and do one last DTD tonight if you can!

No symptoms at all from you tee? That sounds promising in itself!

10 DPO for me and I'm just so so so so tired. However I've also forgotten how to sleep it seems am going through a spate of waking up loads and not able to get back to sleep. My mind is whirring! I'm exhausted, though about calling in sick but though better to stick to routine then hopefully sleep will come back. Other than that I've got sore boobs but we all know the boobs can't be trusted.

Going to try and hold out for Friday. Feeling like a long week already!

CD 16

Morning all! Happy Monday! Im kinda gutted now that I didn't do an OPK on Friday and Saturday as I really don't know if I got that Surge or not. Will take an OPK at 2pm today.
So today I feel a bit crampy, watery Cm, high energy and a little frisky still! Don't think we can DTD today as hubby is back at work tonight but we did it again last night. So that's CD 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14 & 15. Really hope I have done enough! The fact I'm a bit horny is making me feel I maybe haven't ovulated yet if I was to ovulate today or tomorrow would last nights swimmers still be there? Or would I be out?

Such an exciting week!l for so many!

Foot good luck at GP!

CD 45

So no AF, temp 36.45 this morn (still above coverline) bfn on IC. When I held up the test you can see a faint mark but it's just an indent of where test line is. My midwife friend said I'd know by now! So def not.

Couldn't get appt with gp, but managed a telephone call. They want me to wait til I see gynaecologist end of May. To see what is going on. Grrr.. But says it's still too soon after pill to panic. Delayed ovulation is normal after pill they say.. So AF will be delayed if Ovulation didn't happen. Just gotta wait. It's still possible to get more attempts of ovulation in the meantime.

DH wants me to stop all this now and let the cycle get back to normal before ttc. Says I won't be stressed then.. But I'm not sure I can? Once you start u get a bit addicted don't you?! So I've now either to forget it all for a bit or keep tracking in private (already have anyway- so he's only seeing the half of it)?! Gulp..

Well it didn't take long to think about it..

Sod it, still going to keep track of dates as I need to for my gynaecologist appt. just going to dtd as and when, ditch the opks and Poas until I speak to the expert or get AF. Then go from there.

Still going to take my supplements etc.. Just will have to keep the emotions about ttc to myself.

He really freaks out when things are not simple..

Sorry radders no BFP yet, but there's still time in next few days. Fingers crossed!

Jodders - sure you'll be over flowing in the sperm tank - don't worry X

Nim- good gold star for dtd so much

Jem/tee - so close now, not long to wait.

Oh some good news- DH wants me to stop work for a bit- time out for myself and get myself better from bad neck /back injury. So I'm taking 12 months out and see how we go after that. Trying to work in a physical role whilst suffering from pain is hard. Hopefully can stop my pain relief soon too as my work made it worse.

I don't think there's any harm in continuing to try. You may just need to accept that your cycles may be a bit longer and a bit more unpredictable. No harm having sperm ready and waiting for if an egg is released I reckon

The pill has a lot to answer for really. GPs dole it out but don't warn you about possible impact on fertility. Not in my experience anyway.

Foot I don't discuss TTC With hubby at all as it would 100% stress him out and probably put him off. I think most men are like this especially once they have a child. He says although he wants another if he knew the chances of it happening where "right here right now" when we are BDing then he would likely think of a not so good part ahead and freak out. Does that make sense? So he would think..."ahhhh morning sickness" or "ahhhh back to nappies" and then he might not cooperate. So I try to spread the DTD out and I don't ever ever discuss OPKs or testing or supplements with him. I think men like to think it's passionate and that we are doing it so much because they are irresistible and not because we got a positive OPK.

Did two OPKs today and both negative. The strongest I had was on Thursday so I'm sure I would have got my positive Friday or Saturday. So according to FF I would be two days post OV today.

That makes sense jod. Pull up a TWW pew and make yourself comfy

Symptoms gone today. No moodiness no cramps. Tender boobs but nothing too dramatic. Am totally on the fence this cycle now.

Come on Friday - I can almost see you!

Been moody and felt sick all day but prob cos of being anxious.

Cm still a bit creamy but not much there. My tempt was a little lower this morning too so wondering if it's on it's way down.

I just think I am out for this month. Gut feeling

Looking forward to my interest cheapies to arrive! Only ordered them this morning and been despatched already.

Jem I'm with you on that one. Roll on Friday!!!

I wish I could stop work footprints!
You can still Carry on I think but maybe take a little more of a laid back approach. Easier said than done I know. I thought I would be laid back!

So I've just learned something new......
First response have different types of tests!

The one I used this time is "one step" ... And it's not an early response, only from first day of missed period.

The one I used last month was early response which could be used 5 days earlier...

I just happened to find this out by looking at something random on the Internet.

I just thought first response was early detection .. I never knew they were called different things!

Did you all know that?
