I think the lovely pebble82 is going to kindly take over updating the list GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

Congrats carlotta!!!!!

Another grad for this lucky lucky bus!

Congrats Carlotta! Lovely news x

Hurrah Carlotta! And you can breathe a sigh of relief...i know how much it was getting you down, so pleased for you!

What a lucky bus! I'm hoping there's a bit of luck left for the January bus when it stops

Congrats carlotta, what a relief!

I'm on day 3 of high fertility and dtd last night. We are at in laws this weekend typically but I'm hoping to dtd again tonight... quietly 🙈😂

Congratulations Carlotta!!

Hey jellybabbie - I'd invest in some clear blue digital as they give you a definite yes or no, no lines to worry about .... although if your cycle hasn't settled post pill maybe wait a bit longer... I'm still waiting for my bfp and only on cycle 4 of trying to tTC #1 - so I'm no expert.
Keep us posted Hun xxxx

Thanks hippychic

I purchased clear blue opk for this month, expensive though! Hopefully won't. we'd to buy another set i suppose Can you buy refills rather than the whole lot again iyswim?

Congratulations Carlotta! Great news.

Weirdness abounds here in the past few days (yes, I know I'm only 6/7 dpo, but as I say, it's just weirdness!) i had the biggest glob of cm (tmi - sorry) on Wednesday which was v unlike the norm. I felt nauseous, to the point of retching, first thing yesterday morning because of DH deodorant, and it continued through the day. I've had localised pinching in left / right pelvis since ov last weekend, and I was woken out of my sleep at stupid o'clock this morning by strong cramps and an upset tummy. I'm likely to be coming down with a tummy flu, and im going to try to think that way until af/testing time.

Kskifred - I bought clear blue OPK this month aswell the dual hormone one. Bloody expensive indeed. I bought it in boots so at least got some points 😂 Least there's no is it or isn't it positive. As far as I'm aware you need to buy the whole pack again every month which is bloody outrageous

I used the clear blue normal smiley face twice and the flashing one once, no luck. Got my bfp the month we used the cheap opk from EBay! Probably a coincidence but I'd stick to them x

Huge congratulations Carlotta

bluebell have you done an FRER yet?!! CB looks promising xx

Ah sod it. Here I am....
Age-32
TTC #2
Cycle 1
AF DUE 19th Dec
CD 27

I bloody hate this waiting lark

If I keep reading will I get a BFP. Here's hoping. And well done Carlotta. Fantastic new. Xx

Congratulations carlotta . No doubt when it's written there clearly!

kski you have to buy the entire set again, there's no option of refills which is a bit silly. I had a look for refills when I bought my cb opk kit from tesco to use this month but no such thing seems to exist. I'm on CD 17 and still waiting for a to pop up.

Flaming I've bought the FRER but not done it yet. Waiting (impatiently) for FMU tomorrow. Got regular twinges in pelvic area. Might be all in my mind. I've used some of the clear & simple cheapie to pass time and they show no sign of a line :(
Fingers crossed FRER shows a positive tomorrow. I'll report back tomorrow.....

Jelly - I've had no luck with those clear and simple ones, but a faint positive on a clear blue? Don't know what to expect from tomorrow!

Fingers crossed to all!

fx bluebell i hope the frer shows that bfp!

kski you can't buy refills for the Clearblue OPK but you should get 2 cycles from 1 kit, possibly 3 depending how quickly you get your peak "static smiley".
I have used it the last 2 cycles and had 2 days negative, then 6 or 7 days of flashing smilies before getting peak.

I've woken up at 5am on cycle day 26... this wait is doing my head in! I'm clearly worrying about something I have very little control over.
How stupid that you can't buy refills ... this is ridiculous. It's bad enough being on this rollercoaster or bus we seem to be calling it. I spent £30 last month on cb opks, cv pts and conception plus gel stuff .... and im too scared to test right now. I'm thinking it's better to have a few more days of not knowing but this is so much easier said than done when those pt's are just sat in the drawer calling me. I won't cave in!
Af - having you visit is part of being a woman and I wholeheartedly embrace this.... but please give me 9 months off .... I would do anything to be a mum, and don't stay with my friends on here either - take a vacation somewhere else
Xxx

1.5 AF-free days down, 3.5 to go!

BFN yesterday but I don't feel out. Still symptom spotting. Random aches, tiredness, hungry all the time, boobs weird, high temps. DH even asked that I don't drink this time! Luckily, we should know by Christmas.

Oh and we don't have first response in germany which is annoying!

Have caught up on thread now. Congratulations Carlotta!

Jellybabbie - ovia is a bit misleading, there is no slow ramp up to being fertile. You're either fertile or not. There are 5 days before ovulation where the environment will be friendly and if sperm make it to your fallopian tubes they can rest and get nourishment there until the egg is released. Then the egg itself takes 24 hours to make its way down the tube until it's too late to be fertilised. Ovia is misleading because it shows this smooth curve, when it doesn't work like that. I'd try to take it as more like 'percentage chance you're fertile', rather than being a measure in itself. Maybe double across the data to countdowntopregnancy.com or fertility friend or kindara.

Hi Bertie - I like your attitude- not out till af arrives :)
Bloody apps - they're all misleading in my opinion ... and the ovulation calculators all give varying results .... my humble opinion - baby dance as much as you can - they say every other day ... and if your lucky enough to have a dh that can oblige with this - then all power to you xxxx but for those of you who aren't able to baby dance every other day for whatever reason ... and I'm in this camp sadly .... then keep up the positive vibe and believe that bfp will happen sooner or later ... god has a plan for us all and it's our divine right to be happy 😊

Just done the FRER and I was going to say it's negative but after 4 mins (it said will be able to read in 3 but don't read after 10 mins) there is an extremely faint line. I think kskifred was probably right about it being a chemical but I'd still not be cd25 when last month cycle was 34 days so I'm not ruling myself out completely just yet. I'll see how I get on over the next few days!
