TTC#1
Cycle 12ish
AF due around about the 22 of December

Ok so I don't know what possessed me to but I just did an OPK and it's the most positive one I've ever had

Cycle day 32

Negative HPT yesterday so can't be that

What the actual ...

Does this mean I'm ovulating today or tomorrow? I'm SO CONFUSED

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks. The FW went well, we DTD everyday between CD8 - CD14 and I got a positive OPK on CD12 so I feel like we've given ourselves the best chance of a BFP.

I'm currently 7dpo and am trying my very best not to symptom spot. I haven't noticed the tummy cramps, queasyness, headaches etc.

I was planning on doing a cheeky IC test this weekend (at 10 dpo) but DH has just arranged to trek to the top of a mountain all weekend. So I'll wait until Monday when AF is due.

Sorry to the ladies AF got

Congratulations Flamin!

To all our bfp ladies, had/have you changed your diet/drinking/exercise habits this month-eg caffeine/alcohol/sugar etc... feeling guilty as I'm not 'clean' eating/being uber healthy and wondering if it's affecting our chances of getting those elusive 2 lines!

tinkerbell it could be that your body failed to ovulate earlier in your cycle and is gearing up to pop out a juicy egg now.

minime I didn't do anything different, my diet isn't great either. I don't drink regularly anyway so only half a bottle of wine maybe maximum twice a week (usually weekends). As long as you're taking a multivitamin I don't think "clean eating" is totally necessary.

Jami pop i hope soooo! Guess we'll see... for now keeping one foot still tentatively on the bus

*janipop thank you autocorrect

minime I wish I could say I have eaten very healthily and exercised three times a week but that would be a lie.
I am embarrassed to say that my diet this month has been awful, and I have only walked the dogs - nothing else.
I think eating healthily and staying active is very important for life anyway, regardless of TTC... I would guess that if any dramatic changes to diet/exercise were to happen, it is likely to have an effect on your cycles.

Carry on as normal until you get a BFP.

I had a rare steak last week, I had mulled wine at the weekend. I couldn't have gone the last 10 months without those! I wont have those things now - but you shouldn't restrict yourself too much when TTC as you still need to live be healthy when you can but please don't feel guilty for those times when you aren't so healthy. TTC is hard enough as it is. We need to get our kicks from somewhere

I've been so crampy for days now, not my usual pre af at all though. 9dpo according to FF, 10 according to Ovia.

I could also eat a horse i'm so hungry all the time!

FRER yesterday and a dozen cheapies today, all big fat neggers Cheggers. Don't know what my body is doing x

kski - are you going to test again in the morning? I'm planning to so we could be test buddies??

Thanks Ladies. It's hard to know what to do for the best when you read tips from so many different pages(really not obsessed much). It's Christmas so there'll be no regime changes in this house until January, but if I'm out this cycle I'll try upping the exercise and cutting out caffeine/sugar to see what happens. I would love for us to conceive naturally but as I'm nearing 40, and have been ttc for 5 months a trip to the Drs will likely be needed

I'm out ladies. ....
Af arrived this evening. It does bring everything fwd on ovia though so new stats are:
Cd1
Ttc#3
Cycle 5 or 6
!Af due 31.12.16

One more trip on the December bus for me! Welcome everyone who is new and good luck. .
I am really going to focus this month. I would love an autumn 17 baby so next few months are key..... xx

My temps are weirdly low as though I haven't ovulated yet, this has never happened before. I will just have to wait and see but it's odd.

OMG Flamin Congrats! That's fantastic!!

I pop off for a couple of days to bulk buy OPKs and plan DTD sessions with what can only be described as military precision and what do I return to... a great BFP! So happy for you!

If yesterday's OPK is correct than my new test date according to ovia is 20th :)

writer yes test buddies! Hope yours went way more positively than mine though. Last night i dreamt of bfps, most of the night so unfair, wish it had predicted today but no, frer and ic both bfn so as i'm dpo 10/11 i expect i'm out and body is just being a b*tch.

Not testing again now, I can't be doing with anymore bfns so just gonna wait for af at the weekend, pint of wine in hand ready!

Thanks MrsCummings! do you have a DTD schedule now then?!

Kskifred a pint of wine!! That reminds me of Nessa in giving and Stacey (if you watch it!)

Please don't lose hope. I know TTC is tough but you are only 10/11dpo right now - too early to test x

**Gavin and Stacey that was meant to say!!

Thanks, feeling a bit down about it today, my cycles are quite short so i'm only 2 days off af showing so feel like it should be showing up on at least one test by now. Particularly FRER? Got my xmas party tomo and gonna have to take it easy just in case but i know if af shows i'm going to be doubly annoyed!

Haha yes i have watched it, great show. Will have to adopt my inner Nessa if af appears

writer how did you get on testing this morning?
