Urgh cooper, sounds like it. You might get it properly tomorrow. Sad

Writerwannabe83 · 22/10/2016 19:48

Possibly implantation cooper ??

I guess only time will tell.

I still haven't ovulated - very bizarre.

This cycle is the first cycle that I haven't been breast feeding my DS so I wonder if I'm having some funny hormone issue or something that has caused me not to ovulate?

RoseValleyRambles · 22/10/2016 23:13

I'm out. Af has arrived, with cramps to end all cramps. As if I wasn't already well enough aware of her presence. Grrr. Good luck those who are still in the game this month!
Cooper, I had the exact same thing last month, kicked in again a few days later. But always worth a test just in case.

sandsandwiches · 23/10/2016 20:52

I'm out too...AF here with a vengeance. Glad I know my cycles have normalised now though. Hope rest of you still on the bus have good luck! Hopping over to November...

Writerwannabe83 · 23/10/2016 22:13

Sorry for all the arrivals of AF.

I'm CD20 and I still haven't had a positive OPK whereas for the last 9 months that I've been tracking it's always happened on CD17/18. I'm not even getting faint lines, they are completely blank. I don't understand it really. I guess I'm having a random anovulatory cycle but I'm not too fussed seeing as even if I had ovulated DH has been away for my entire FW anyway.

Will the fact I haven't ovulated affect my period? Will I still have one? Do I just have to hang around and wait for ovulation to occur? I've never been in this situation before so I don't really know what to think....

Thingymaboob · 24/10/2016 00:20

How many times a day are you testing? It's very unusual for you not to have ovulated when you have the other months. Do you think it's more likely to be caused by a brief LH surge which wasn't picked up on test? The month I got pregnant, I did not test positive on OPKs

EJ2009 · 24/10/2016 07:05

I just got a BFN - 10 dpo. No symptoms at all this month so not a suprise.

cooperbug · 24/10/2016 08:11

Is this a line? x

Morning Cooper, that looks like a bfp to me! Congratulations! :)

LH1981 · 24/10/2016 10:54

Hi Ladies,

Been reading the whole thread to catch up.
Congrats on the BFPs!
Sorry to those with BFNs, I know what that's like!
Really sorry for those who've mc'd, again, I know what that's like too Sad

For those who are taking their time with catching, I know how hard it is, it took me 3 years first time around. My only advice would be to 'try' to relax and not get stressed out about it. I fell pregnant once we accepted it wasn't going to happen and we stopped trying. Think it's because the pressure was off? Xx

LH1981 · 24/10/2016 11:01

Ok, so Im in a pickle.

I have 3 boys, youngest is 2.
A little over a week ago, my DH and I slipped up. I got my cycle days wrong in my head and thought it was 'safe' enough. We've never done that before, always very careful.

Anyway, the next day I just felt it. I'm pretty sure I'm up the duff. Had crazy dizziness, nausea and headaches. Cramping etc. It's far too early for symptoms so I'm thinking maybe in my panic I'm imagining them.

My DH does not want any more, so I'm nervous. But I'm strangely excited at the idea too. I've not said anything to him. Cant test til Friday.

But he's away from weds til Fri and we have guests arriving Friday and a Halloween party at ours so if I am, I still can't tell him because we won't have the chance to talk. Plus I won't be able to drink at the party, which will be noticeable!!

Sorry for long post!

HazyHazyJeans · 24/10/2016 20:21

Definitely a line cooper congrats!

EJ I got a BFN at 10dpo, no symptoms at all, then got a BFP at 12dpo! You're not out until AF shows Smile

HazyHazyJeans · 24/10/2016 20:21

Oh it's PurpleHaze1 - I name changed!

Writerwannabe83 · 25/10/2016 08:31

thingymabob - I was testing 2-3 times a day.

Well despite having EWCM about a week ago I didn't have a positive
OPK (which I always get on CD17/18) so I had resigned myself to a cycle where I didn't ovulate but I woke up yesterday morning, on CD 21, to absolutely loads of EWCM!! Unfortunately I have no OPK strips to see if/when I'm going to ovulate and I'm away from DH for 5 days so I can't DTD anyway.

We DTD two days before all the EWCM arrived so who knows, maybe our one go this month in the middle of a weird cycle will give me a BFP seeing as though 8 months of perfectly times sex during normal cycles hasn't resulted in one

mrsbarnettsbaby · 25/10/2016 08:44

Bfn again. Now on cd 55.

HazyHazyJeans · 25/10/2016 08:45

I've got everything crossed for you writer!

Writerwannabe83 · 25/10/2016 09:49

Found an OPK and this appeared within 15 seconds....

G'wan girl! Get that egg fertilized x

MouseLove · 25/10/2016 12:04

Boom Writer go get it!!!! Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 25/10/2016 13:01

I can't go get it as I'm not seeing DH until Friday night Grin

We DTD on Saturday night but unfortunately, just as he peaked our bodies went in different directions and so about 50% of his sperm ended up down my thighs and on the bed sheet as opposed to in me Grin

It will be a bloody miracle if it happens this month Grin

MouseLove · 25/10/2016 15:16

Nooooooooooo. You should have scooped it up!! ShockWink

Thingymaboob · 25/10/2016 17:49

Don't write it off yet writer! My friend has sex unplanned, didn't want a baby and after her & her husband dtd, she went to the shower and douched! She got pregnant!

Goldfish99 · 26/10/2016 17:25

I've not posted on here for a while just thought it was another cycle where AF would make here usual appearance! Had what I thought were AF cramps Thurs-Sun and was convinced she was on her way on Mon which was when she was due.

By Mon all cramps had gone and no other symptoms same again yesterday so I did a test when I got home from work. I was convinced it was a BFN but could see a v faint line where the line should be. (I had drunk quite a lot of water during the day).

DP suggested I do another test in the morning this morning with FMU but I had to go to the loo about 4am so did the test with SMU and it was a definite BFP! So many emotions i'm excited and terrified at the same time! It doesn't feel real as I've no symptoms at all!

Good luck to everyone else still waiting to test!

HazyHazyJeans · 26/10/2016 18:20

Congrats goldfish!

MouseLove · 26/10/2016 18:26

Congratulations Goldfish!!! What CD did you test on? What cycle is this for you. That's awesome. Another BFP for the October bus!!! Yay!!
