EMHW123 · 16/06/2017 09:09

BFN today but still no sign of AF! I feel completely fine about it though, just want AF to turn up. My OH asked how not pregnant I was this morning when I told him it was BFN. Still don't think he gets conception 😂

I'm 29
TTC #1
Cycle 5 (but really only 2 due to lack of AF after coming off implant)
Day 30

@LimpLettice 😱 poor thing! At least she won't be in a rush to grow up! How old is she?
@Cherylttcagain hope it's an easy one for you!
@EMHW123 enjoy the baby dancing! 😉

McTufty · 16/06/2017 09:52

Oh I'm rubbish with thinking up names!

My stats:

TTC #1
Age 33
Cycle - cycle? What cycle? Mine hasn't come back after the pill yet so I suppose I'm technically cycle 1 (I may have ovulated last week without realising but probably haven't O'd yet)

limplettuce

Well she may as well find out now about the perils of being a woman!

clacton

How frustrating. I'm sure she will be along soon so you can crack on with the next cycle and get that BFP!

LimpLettice · 16/06/2017 10:26

DD is almost 8. We are pretty open about most stuff but I think it is the first time she has seen any evidence :)

Age 39
TTC #2
Cycle 2 (I think)
CD 2? I can never remember how you start that one.

Spent a couple of hours alone in the sun with a glass of sauv blanc and a pen yesterday. Ordered a Clearblue Advanced ov kit and 2 months of Pregnacare Conception. Spent a long time reading about Ubiquinol to improve egg quality but am waiting on that - there is no point until there have been a couple of proper cycles to tell me if they are rubbish first. Feeling more positive by far, I just wish the thinking about all this wasn't so intrusive.

No idea for a thread name. Something not too earnest, I am trying to stay light hearted :)

EMHW123 · 16/06/2017 10:54

I've been trying to keep this overthinking malarkey to the minimum but rather unsuccessfully, I was naive enough to think as soon as we started shagging without any contraception I'd be in the club in a couple of months.....not the way at all.

Has given me a bit of push to loose some weight and get my fitness back though, I love that feeling after training, not the feeling during though 😪 😂

Name ideas: 🤷‍♀️

LinzLinz · 16/06/2017 11:29

My OH suggests 'The Clearblue Strippers' as the new name 😂

LimpLettice · 16/06/2017 11:33

Like it!

EMHW123 · 16/06/2017 13:28

no more pink stuff since I wiped this AM, no obvious signs of AF either.
I feel a bit stupid when I keep testing as it's always BFN but what's going on with me?! grrr

Lucylanz · 16/06/2017 16:31

Really hoping for some luck this month, as OH is away for a for almost 5 weeks in the summer, and I'm not sure if/ when I'll be able to join him!

OP posts:
EMHW123 · 18/06/2017 14:07

Yassss clear blue strippers! Lavvv it!

Oh jeeze, that's hard going @KubaLeebre

Fingers crossed for you :)

This heat is making sex too sweaty and sticky! 🙊😂

LinzLinz · 18/06/2017 16:43

Haha my OH is going to love that you all liked his group name suggestion!

He's away with work at the moment and gets back around my ovulation date, hopefully it won't come early!!

KubaLeebre · 18/06/2017 17:02

Group name changed 😂😂😂

I spent £350 on an air con unit - can't say I'm regretting it! Had all of the sex last night!

OP posts:
EMHW123 · 18/06/2017 17:16

Oh wow! I'm so considering it! It's too hot! Managed a sweaty shag this afternoon 😂 dodgy fan keeping the air moving 😂😂

Tried the preseed too..... not ovulating for another 4- 5 days I think.... used the cb digi ovulation thing this morning for the first time... will see how that goes!

Hi five to your oh @LinzLinz

@Lucylanz @Cherylttcagain @Clacton any news ladies?

Cherylttcagain · 18/06/2017 18:09

EMHW you are determined in this heat!

AF started today, no mistaking it! Shame but it was only cycle #1, onwards and upwards.

Clacton · 18/06/2017 18:19

Still no AF for me and no signs either. But I am SO glad I don't have to dtd in this weather ha ha.

McTufty · 18/06/2017 20:04

kuba

Loving the new title! How do you change a thread? Sounds like your investment was worth every penny Grinq

Anyway let's get some BFPs going strippers!

I had a positive OPK this morning and was so shocked I thought the test was faulty but nope, both showed a surge so fingers crossed this is my cycle coming back! I know it can't confirm it ovulation actually occurs, but it's a start!

I also read you can get a surge just before AF, and I do have some menstrually cramps, so maybe AF coming which is also fine - anything which gives me hope about my cycle! My BBT thermometer arrives tomorrow, shame it wasn't a bit earlier so I could confirm ovulation but hey ho, early days!

Cue a very sweaty emergency shag before we went round to my parents for Father's Day! Not much EWCM and that which I have doesn't seem that fertile so I bought and used fertility gel.

If I got an OPK this morning, how many days am I likely fertile for? Is ovulation usually the day after?

Cheryl sorry to hear AF has come to visit, fingers crossed for the July bus!

clacton

When are/were you due? On another thread I'm on someone was a few days late but getting BFNs but turned out to be pregnant, got the BFP Friday I think! You never know!

LimpLettice · 18/06/2017 20:16

Ah lovely shiny thread name!

I think you have a day or two after a positive opk McTufty, the surge happens in the 36ish hours before ovulation. Another sweaty go tomorrow just in case.

Texas chainsaw massacre is finally slowing down, thank goddess. Not much thought of sweaty marital ghastliness here with that going in as well. CB digi arrived yesterday and instructions suggest starting on day 8 which is Thursday. DP is 40 minutes away in the week so has been primed to drop everything and run home if I message him a smiley. Poor fella, he's going to be shattered if this takes ages 😂

Lucylanz · 18/06/2017 20:59

Still no AF although some cramping feelings now. Never been so late before so finding it all frustrating. Didn't POAS all weekend and won't be able to until Wednesday. Maybe things will be clearer by then.

EMHW123 · 18/06/2017 21:13

Gosh girls I'm admiring your strength of not poas every 30 mins! 👏👏

@LimpLettice lol at Texas chainsaw! 💀🙊hope you are ok! New chance just around the corner!

@McTufty lol at emergency sweaty shag, urgh this heat is rank! What lube are you using?

@Cherylttcagain cycle 1 not bad, where you on the pill before?

I'm going to push for every second day regardless this month, I've got a higher sex drive so need to do a bit of persuading I think if I'm going to pull it off 😜😂🙊

He's still taking his vitamins so that's good!
