Well my period has finish d today so I can look ahead to my FW.

I think I'm not going to bother with OPKs this month because 8 months of using them and having perfectly times sex hasn't resulted in a baby anyway.

Regarding EWCM: I usually get it three days before I get a positive OPK and it probably only lasts about 24 hours.

MrsG280516 · 14/11/2016 10:25

CD7 here finally, only about a week till ov I reckon. Going to start doing my OPKs tomorrow, roll on FW!

Tinkerbell2319 · 14/11/2016 10:44

Yayy counting down to FW too :) on CD9

OPKs not positive but i did one yesterday and the day before and yesterday's one is darker so heading in the right direction Smile only trouble is though because of work I'll struggle to do them at the same time every day (don't fancy POAS in work tbh lol) will that make any difference or should it still be ok?

MrsG280516 · 14/11/2016 10:52

As long as you've not taken any liquids and had a good hold of 3-4 hours then the result is usually pretty accurate. I do them when I get home from work at 6pm, so I don't drink or go to the loo after 2pm if I can help it.

So I did my OPK today at 4pm. There wasn't a second line at all. Hmmm. Maybe I won't ovulate this month.Hmm

MrsG280516 · 14/11/2016 19:46

Make sure you give it a full 10 mins Mouse what CD are you on? Some people have nothing then surge really quickly so not unusual to not get a second line at this point.

ewcm was only noticed when i went for a pee & wiped on fri, i didn't notice it again after, would you think thats a possible ovulation sign 2wks after stopping mini pill? dtd the last 3 days. yday & today cervix has felt low, open & soft? been having a heavy need to pee pressure today & yday. i know it could be the pill stopping af on its way tho

AF due 10/12

I have been having odd cycles - 28 days 24 days 50 days (!) and just had a 26dayer....
predicted fw due to ovia is 24/11 for a few days and i want to try and start early this month so i don't miss it. Unfortunately that is the middle of the week when we are knackered though!

Heres to some early xmas pressies!

x

MouseLove · 14/11/2016 23:37

Only CD10 MrsG so probably too early. Just gonna do it every day. Pee on my hands in the process and try not to arouse suspicion while in work. Yay! Haha.

Carlotta82248 · 15/11/2016 08:06

Hey all

Carlotta

About to start cycle 4
Being banned from ovulation tests and early pregnancy tests as I'm driving myself bonkers!

Anyone else?

DrRBannerx · 15/11/2016 09:11

Hey newbies!

I'm finally only three days away from predicted ovulation. Fx
How are we all today?

Tinkerbell2319 · 15/11/2016 10:33

Hiiiii :)

Just waiting for FW over here! Ovia reckons starting Friday, am currently CD10 but making a concerted effort and dtd at least every other day since AF finished, can't help but think it'd be lovely to be able tell close family over Christmas wouldn't it

Been trying since July, trying to stay positive but it does get a bit more worrying each month that goes by

MrsG280516 · 15/11/2016 11:55

I think this is our list so far... I can update if everyone gives me their AF due date/testing date. I think we might have a fair few people still waiting on the November bus but please let me know if your dates change Smile

Hi please can I join? I've never been in the bus before!

kimnews
Age 28
TTC #2
Cycle #18
CD 24
8 dpo
Testing on 21/11

Had all the tests the NHS provides and have been diagnosed with unexplained secondary infertility. We weren't trying with our DS who is 4 now, so we never thought we'd be here 18 months later. Fingers crossed this is our month.

MouseLove · 15/11/2016 13:40

MrsG I think I'll go for a 3rd December test please. If I have a 28 day cycle (pahaha who am I kidding) I should be due AF then. FX

CD11 today and got a little sniff on an OPK. Having EWCM as well. It's like fertility Christmas!!!

December Bus (all I want for Christmas is... a baby!)
binkybunny · 15/11/2016 14:33

FW starts tomorrow according to my app but still full of cold and not particularly feeling like DTD!

AF/ Testing date 5th December (although I'll probably test on the 3rd/4th as it's the weekend!)

MrsG280516 · 15/11/2016 14:45

Oooh looking good Mouse you might surge in just a few days. I can't remember what mine were like at CD11 last month, I only saved them from CD14 onwards as they started to get darker and then had my surge on CD17.

Carlotta82248 · 15/11/2016 16:09

MrsG AF 18/11 and then 16/12.....already out this month though x

binkybunny · 15/11/2016 16:25

Is anyone else beong a bit obsessed aboug babies?

I swore that I would not obsess about babies this time but I keep Googling baby things and trying not to talk too much about them at work as I don't want to raise suspicions!

It's all a bit consuming and it's only month 2 of trying. Might have to start watching OBEM again especially as they filmed in a hospital I'll hopefully be giving birth in.

MouseLove · 15/11/2016 16:53

How do you all keep/store your OPK - the weird crafter in me wants to do document them in my pregnancy planner I got in america hahaha. Ok. Weird.

But seriously. Blush

MrsG280516 · 15/11/2016 16:55

Haha I just stuck them to a piece of paper and labelled the CD and times. It is a bit weird but what isn't weird about TTC?!
