Banner you're like my twin in more ways than one. Got a bladder like a 90 yr old. Hahaha. IF I ovulate I'll be testing the weekend of the 3rd. It will be the weekend after my birthday. I'd absolutely love to conceive this cycle, in Rome, on DHs birthday and just in time for xmas. So I'm keeping everything crossed apart from my legs. Lol

DrRBannerx · 16/11/2016 12:16

mrscummings I literally cannot hold it, tena lady is my friend.. I got my darkest positive on them so far this week so I think it's go time. Annoying that I'm working a long shift today and oh is working till nine won't be home till 10 all day this week.. Typical
mouselove it'll be magical won't it.. I'd love to keep it a secret from my oh till Christmas (if we fall pregnant) but I could never!
Last pregnancy I gave him a scavenger hunt, it was so cute Flowers

MrsCummings · 16/11/2016 12:31

DrRBannerx I think I had a positive on Monday, it wasn't as dark as the control line but I was incredibly hungover and no DTD was going to be done, shame as it was the darkest this week... today's is still alright ish but clearly dropping off now.

HellsBellsK · 16/11/2016 13:20

Thanks for the list MrsG I will be testing around the 29/11.

I have a feeling I am already out this is suppose to be my fertile week (finishing today) - Only a tiny bit of CM.
Unless I ovulated really early as I thought I had a lot right after my period - but I was still spotting or may be I'm going to be late.
I bought boots ovulation sticks all of them have been negative also. Will keep DTD every few days and see. Have CB ones for the next cycle so we will see with them.

Not getting my hopes up anyway.

Mouse it would be great to conceive in Rome fx for you!

MrsG280516 · 16/11/2016 13:29

What cycle day are you on HellsBells? You could just be ovulating late this month, keep using the OPKs!

Hi everyone.

I'm currently 10 dpo (cd 24) and all last night and today I've been having what feels like really bad period pain. Last night I was convinced AF was about to come (but it still hasn't). Has anyone had this then gone on to get a BFP? Or do you think that it's looking like I'm out this month?

HellsBellsK · 16/11/2016 14:01

I am only only cycle 2 MrsG first cycle I had a chemical - so my period was late then I bleed for around 11 days, then spotting (blood in my CM).
So I think everything is a bit all over the place.

Hopefully thats the case, I ordered more off amazon so will finish the boots ones then keep going.

AF due around the 30th November but I'm not completely sure as just stopped my pill a few weeks ago so only had withdrawal bleed so far in the 31/10.

I'm 31
Ttc #1
Cycle 5
Af due round about the 28/11 but was a few days late last month (for the first time ever) so not entirely as certain as usual...

MrsG280516 · 16/11/2016 20:13

That's much darker julez I'd say that's a positive!

MrsCummings · 17/11/2016 08:04

This ovulation business seems to be knocking me for six!

Given the various forms of contraception I've been on for the last 18 years, I've been AF free for most of that time.

I stopped Cerelle two months ago, and am ovulating now (well I think I am, but the boots tests are hard to work out, i'm moving to CB if it doesn't work out this month).

I am so bloated it's unbelievable, with some poxy cramping too. Plus, i'm pretty sure i'm being a complete a-hole too, but all the books etc say I should be a happy sunshine filled delight right now...

Last night I took comfort in watching Thor (the big beautiful b@stard)

JB1983 · 17/11/2016 08:26

Hi all
Moving over from November bus as I think my test date will actually be around the 1st December if AF is a no show!

TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD23 (up to 35 day cycles)

Didn't track this month so not very optimistic. We were taking a short break from TTC but got a bit carried away one night on holiday so we could have a little one hit wonder!

DrRBannerx · 17/11/2016 10:34

Sorry I'm a day late julez but that's a lovely positive x

Oggy88 · 17/11/2016 11:39

Hey guys, jumping on the bus if you don't mind.

Ttc#1
CD4
Cycle 4

AF/test due 12 Dec, so hoping for a nice Christmas pressie this year. Can't believe I'm saying this, but so want not to be able to drink this festive season!

FlaminFlamingo99 · 17/11/2016 12:46

Hi everyone - welcome JB and Oggy
How are we doing today? It's hard to keep track of people, who is next to test? Want to know who I am rooting for (to redirect my obsessive symptom-spotting between now and my test day Blush)
I haven't had a positive Opk this month but I'm pretty sure I would have missed it by now as my ovulation symptoms that I had (nausea, cramping, dizziness) are going now... We DTD a Lot over the fertile window which was fun Grin I am desperate to see a BFP in a couple of weeks and I know I couldn't have done anything else to increase my chances this cycle which is scary because it's out of my hands and 2 weeks is SUCH a looooong time!! Sigh.
I took my dog to dog training the other day and at one point the trainer commented that my dog is 'not a child' and I was rather taken aback firstly at the insinuation that I mollycoddle my dog (I don't!) but it really hit a nerve and I felt quite upset and embarrassed afterwards. Some people have no idea how hurtful throwaway comments like that could be to someone.
Xxx

MrsCummings · 17/11/2016 12:54

Hey "FlaminFlamingo99 "

I totally mollycoddle my dogs, and would have opened a can of whoopass on that trainer! How bloody rude!

I have 12 days until testing time, so stalking someone elses womb would also be of benefit :)

MrsG280516 · 17/11/2016 12:56

This is who we have testing next:

Bummymummy77 17/11
StephyJane 20/11
charley2016 20/11
Denna81 23/11
DixieChick1991 23/11
MiniMe2016 24/11
FlaminFlamingo99 29/11
Isthisusernamefree 30/11

Awww Flamingo I have a beagle who is 14 months and he is totally mine and DH's baby. I don't see why you can't treat your dog like a child if you want to. He is spoilt but generally well behaved!

Oggy88 · 17/11/2016 13:03

Lol MrsCummings at "stalking someone else's womb"!!! Disturbing, but so true! Grin

FlaminFlamingo99 · 17/11/2016 13:18

Thanks MrsCummings and MrsG Smile I might nonchalantly turn up to training next week with my fully grown labrador in one of those baby carrier wrap type things Grin see what the trainer makes of that!!

Thanks for the dates list MrsG - gotta love womb-stalking (it's the new people-watching)

TTC#2
Cycle 4
DD1 age 2.5
Age 35
AF due 02/12

Got clearblue ov tests for this month but I've managed to mess it up by getting the holder wet and breaking it so I think I've missed identifying the window/ov. Getting a bit worried that it's taking a bit longer this time as conceived DD1 at the age of 32 first go. Also my cycles seem to have got a lot shorter so are now 25-26 days when they were 28-30 per DD! Did the deed at least every other day during fertile window according to Ovia so fingers crossed!
