I had heard this before radders but not seen the one step ones. I've only bought the early response ones.

That's very good news - you can disregard the one you did this morning then

The OH got me the one step from Asda... He went morrisons first but they didn't have any. I wouldn't have known nevermind him.

Yea there's a bit of hope now.
I read that one step is 1000mui or whatever it is and early response is 25 so a big difference

Excellent news!! Still in with a good shot!! How are we going to get through the next 4 days?! x

I have the one step ones too which u can buy on Amazon. It's says early response but the reviews say to take after missed period.

I got the cheap IC Amazon ones - they are like the opks but hcg ones.

You are getting so close ladies! Countdown begins.. X

Jodders- yes you are right, I'm not going to say anything about it now. Not even going to mention that AF still not arrived. As will draw attention to it. Just want AF to arrive soon so I can start over. Regret so badly the contraceptive pill - would never never advise people to take it.

How is everyone today?

The only thing I'm continuing to note in pink pad is being too hot at night, just feel like I'm roasting under the duvet. It has been warmer weather recently though.

I've got those Amazon ones too foot. Hoping that I get to use one this month if AF doesn't show up before Friday.

Did you say end of May for your gynae appointment? Not too long to wait if so.

CD 17 - 3/4 DPO

If you feel like talking to hubby about it Footprints pop on here and talk to us instead - that's what I do.

I'm really cramping today again. It makes me think I could be ovulating today but my OPKs the last two days have been negative. It feels already like AF is coming. No EWCM (had that Friday and Saturday) I hope to god all my BDing hasn't gone to waste as I haven't yet ovulated! Hopefully Sunday's swimmers are still there if I am. I have broken out in pimples and feel my boobs are tingly at times. This stage of cycle sucks!!

I had cramps a couple of days after ovulation too jod. I said to DH I feel like my period is coming on early! They went away after a day or so and nothing since

CD2410dpo
Jodders I was cramping in the days after ovulation this cycle too! Spent a few days googling 'cramps 1/2/3 DPO' etc... Seems It is possible to have post ov cramps, so I'd say the opks and CM are better indicators! All things considered, I felt quite confident I was cramping after ovulation occurred.

Only thing for me to note is that I still have no signs to note, ha!
Jem feeling hot is a decent symptom! Does your skin feel hot to the touch? Was a big sign for me with DS x

CD 17
Dtd last night too. Small temp rise this morning so we'll see if it's sustained.

Good luck to all those testing this week. I'm waiting for confirmation of ovulation. I'm due to test on the 29th. That's 12 days po. My normal luteal phase is only 11 days. I'm thinking about waiting to 14 dpo though as I will be properly late then if AF hadn't arrived. Plus I'm on holiday with my parents so won't be able to do to much testing.

I had a good feeling about the dtd last night. Fingers crossed.

That's Tee and Jem feel reassured now

Nim I'm testing on 29th too!

These are yummy!

Hello everyone!

Think it's common to get pains after ovulation too.

Nim -hope you had a word with those swimmers get them to swim for gold!
*
Jodders-* thanks, yes will rant to you girls now.

Update from me-
High temp still!! ?? No AF, cramping on right side- quite painful at times. Still not dried up either? Lots of clear cm. Just picking at snacks- can't eat much.

Spoke to Gp today again and kinda pushed to get appt this week. Said I keep getting cramps, decreased appetite and smelly asparagus wee (without eating asparagus) and now they have asked me to go in for an internal (oh no) and bring a wee sample. Explained about temp chart and ovulation issue and how I'm stuck in high temp luteal phase. He doesn't want to induce AF as wants me to have the gynae appt first. He's booked me in for scan (just waiting on date) but will be before gynae appt.

So at least few things will have been done before gynae appt as a head start.

tee my skin feels warm but then I'm not dead! hahaha. I'm not sure if it feels hotter than usual or not?!

Great news re your doctor foot - glad to hear they are getting things moving.

I'm so hungry I've had to keep sneaking bits of my lunch before my lunch break

CD25 11dpo

Hi everybody! Glad everyone's ok.

I think AF is coming. I have dull cramps and I've just taken my temp and it's bit low so think it might be dipping
Time will tell though!

Footprints glad you have a scan booked in

Radders I don't temp but I thought it was something you had to do first thing in morning? If it is then I would t go by the temp dip and cramping could be implantation too. It sucks that symptoms are all so similar. Cramping could be Ovulation, implantation, AF, uterus stretching.... The confusion

Footprints - glad gp is listening to you and doing something

Jem I think you are going to get a BFP this week!

Jod it does and that's what I record. But really throughout the day you can tells the temp has dipped or not.

I find my temps in the day are lower than my morning ones in any case! But was just quite a bit of a dip just now

My cm is drying up I would say...

It it so tough when they're all the same. Argh. Xxx

Jem I'm also feeling positive for you this week too

Thanks girls, that made me well up a bit reading that! Teariness is classic PMS for me however!

I must say I am so 50/50 this month. I'm swinging from stocking up on tampons to planning on how to tell my parents.

Radders you are not out until you out my love. I hope its back to the grad list for you.

Sorry have been missing, have been going through a rough couple of days emotionally.

Rooting for you sucha, radders and tee. Fx at least one of you can give us good news, better still 3bfps .

Summer, physic hope you are munching on kiwis and getting ready for ov. Best of luck catching the egg.

Nim and jod sending you lots of patience dust in the tww and good luck.

Footprints, my thoughts with you hun and bless your oh for being thoughtful ((wish that could rub onto my H)) hope u heal faster and get upduffed during your break

Waves to everyone I may have missed and baby dust

Are you ok mimi?

Honestly jod, I'm not ok hun. Wish we could all just meet up for coffee and cake and vent. "H" is being an * and l can't stand him at the mo ((just want to cry))

Fx jem

Mimi so sorry to hear this! Hugs to you! Men really can drive us to despair can't they. Hope everything resolves itself, we are all here to listen xx
Radders I feel AF crampy today too haven't been temping last couple of days because I can't bear the gradual dipping!
Jem When I was pg with DS my skin felt really hot a few days before BFP, as if I had a fever, but didn't feel hot in myself, which is why I remember that symptom so clearly. Hope that explains it a bit better!

Footprints glad the balling is rolling with docs/gyno! We need answers!!
PS. Those crackers looked delish!

Mimi what's he doing?? You can vent on here .... Xxxxx

Oh mimi you poor love vent away to us. Have some and
