Love your way of thinking Limp!

I'm trying to keep my DH hydrated since he said he felt too dehydrated to join me upstairs earlier! I'll drown him if I have to ;P

EMHW123 · 02/07/2017 21:14

Help I'm dying to poas!!! Need to hold off for another few days! Doing my head in! I'm
7dpo-due Aunt Flo on Friday..... 🙈

How are you all?!

@KubaLeebre you ok?

McTufty · 02/07/2017 21:19

Stay strong EMHW!! I have everything crossed for you.

I'm ok, just sitting round waiting to ovulate! I'm CD10, had some EWCM this morning but who knows. Fertility Friend says I'm in my fertile window but given I am on crazy cycles and might not ovulate for weeks don't know how reliable! Doing OPKs every morning and early evening (internet cheapies).

DTD yesterday but way too busy and tired today. Might try and muster up energy tomorrow but I have such a crazy week at work Confused

EMHW123 · 02/07/2017 21:32

Yay @McTufty definitely a great sign! Every 2-3 days is ideal! Enjoy it!

I've got some cramping so I think I maybe out, going to try and keep positive! Today was spent buying baby clothes for friends! It's scary how much I wanted to buy stuff for me! 🙈

Cherylttcagain · 02/07/2017 22:43

The longer you can resist the more accurate the result! You can do it emhw!!

ewcm is a great sign! dtd as often as you can Mctufty, and don't worry about it when you can't :)

KubaLeebre · 03/07/2017 09:34

Thanks guys, weekend turned out to be good! Had a fab time with DD and my best girl friends. A mate has the worlds most adorable 6 month old, which did nothing for my broodiness!

Back in the 2ww again. Pshaw. Worst bit especially this early on. Think Ov was late Friday / early Sat.

DFriend had a very swift delivery of her DD2 late last night so was awake on the phone much of the night. Cannot wait for scrunchy cuddles - cheered me right up. :)

EMHW123 · 03/07/2017 11:08

Morning all! I think I night to do a frer tomo! I'm going off my head!

Great you had a good weekend kuba! I know I love their wee squidgy faces! Sooo broody!!!

Limp newborn cuddles are the best! Just too cute! I hate the 2ww! Went a swim last night to take my mind off it, god bless love island that's been an utterly shite distraction too! 😂😂

McTufty · 03/07/2017 15:59

Excited for tomorrow EMHW!!! Still waiting for the positive OPK here, and no CM at all so thinking maybe the EWCM I thought I had was a red herring Sad

Cherylttcagain · 03/07/2017 16:06

Awww love a good baby cuddle :D

EMHW- good luck for tomorrow, its a pain having to wait so long!

Mctufty- the amount of CM we see can depend on age. If you're in your 30s you might only see it for 1 day, in your 20s and you're likely to have around 4 days of it. Also it will change throughout the day, so it's very possible the ewcm was indeed ewcm. Best off just dtd every time you get a chance. I'm trying for every other day this month.

LimpLettice · 03/07/2017 16:21

Fingers double crossed for tomorrow EMHW. Be so good to get some BFPs going on this thread.

What Cheryl said, McTufty. You don't always see it properly either. I believe Evening Primrose in the run up to ov can help increase it too.

I've already been googling stuff I shouldn't. If CB ov kit is fmu, then it's detecting a surge from the previous day, I'm thinking. So solid smiley Friday morning means a I might've started dtd too late on Friday night, sat and Sunday. Ffs. 2 more weeks of insanity.

EMHW123 · 03/07/2017 17:44

@McTufty no ewcm doesn't mean no ovulation, are you using the internet cheapies? I found those could be unreliable. I shelled out for the cb dual ones this month. Hopefully it was worth it!

@LimpLettice think you'll be fine honey! I'm in a similar boat :)

I've been on off cramping for the last 24hrs. No spotting at all so far so for that I'm grateful :) I'll see what tomo brings but still early as only 9dpo but 3 days before period so may get something..... my mum is here this weekend so it would be lovely to share the news with her! Or get pissed and drown my sorrows with her! She's great fun!

McTufty · 03/07/2017 22:51

emhw they are the Internet cheapies! As I have no idea when I might ovulate I can't afford the posh stuff twice a day for weeks! I had some sticky stuff today so that's weird, hopefully shows I'm progressing through my cycle though!

Cramping could just as easily be pregnancy as AF, I have everything crossed for you!

limplettuce did you not dtd at all before Friday? I can't help as I don't use CB I'm afraid but hopefully you caught it!

cheryl sadly yes I'm in my 30s! Did BD day before the EWCM so if it is then I've caught it. If not then I'll Dtd during the surge when I hopefully catch that, though given my luteal phase woes I doubt I can conceive this month anyway Sad

Every other day! I admire you, my DH would never go for that!!

EMHW123 · 04/07/2017 07:41

Morning!

Bfn here this am at 9dpo. Hmmm, could be too early. Will go again on Friday I think.

Good point @McTufty keep with the cheapies until you settle for sure!!

McTufty · 04/07/2017 08:03

Ahhhh emhw gutted for you as never nice to get a bfn but it is no big deal - 47% of pregnant people get a bfn at 9dpo! Fingers crossed for the weekend!

Cherylttcagain · 04/07/2017 08:15

Mctufty I'm in my 30s to and I've only noticed ewcm on one day this month. It was the same last month as well.

emhw, sorry to hear that, it's such a rubbish feeling. You've had no period yet so try to be positive, I totally agree with Mctufty that 9dpo is still really early. I still have my fingers crossed for you!

LimpLettice · 04/07/2017 11:33

EMHW 9dpo is really very early still, so it ain't over yet. What they said. :)

McTufty I got the solid smiley 6am Friday, dtd the deed Friday evening and Sunday morning. Hoping Ov was saturday then would have caught it just about.

We did actually try Thursday but DP was so exhausted from travelling it was, ahem, fruitless. Tried not to be too stresed but eek.

EMHW123 · 04/07/2017 17:46

Thanks girls! I have my positive pants on! What will be will be!

@LimpLettice good going on the shagging! Now for the wait! Eeeek!

@McTufty where are you I your cycle again?

@Cherylttcagain how far into tww are you?

McTufty · 04/07/2017 21:15

limp you definitely caught it! Egg lives for 24 hours or more even once you ovulate so you smashed it!

Good question emhw! I'm on cd12 but what that actually means for me I don't know! Had some sticky CM yesterday, a small amount of more lotions stuff today, hopefully moving towards the big O! I even used my proper OPK! (Negative but nice to POA proper S!!!)

Cherylttcagain · 04/07/2017 22:56

CD17 here, I've had some ewcm but no clue when ovulation is/was. My app reckons 13 days till I can test. I'm just going to take the see what happens approach in a couple of weeks. Currently feel completely normal!!

Good luck everyone :)

McTufty · 05/07/2017 09:42

Good luck cheryl! Will you wait the full 13 days?

I'm cd13 and still no surge Sad Hope I don't have a stupidly long cycle again

LimpLettice · 05/07/2017 11:15
Smile
LimpLettice · 05/07/2017 11:18

Phone playing up. Didn't mean to smile sorry.

I hope so I really do. Crazy making stuff.

I'm CD21, I think testing from this time next week if I can hold off enough. Probably earlier knowing me, but I have a zillion cheapie strips so it's ok.

My surge wasn't til CD 16 so still time McTufty. Fingers crossed it's soon.

EMHW123 · 05/07/2017 13:01

Hey hey!

Hope you girls are all well and happy!

Mctufty fingers crossed for the big O soon! It's so exciting!

Cheryl that's you in the 2ww! Let the fun times commence! Symptom spotting craziness!

Limp not long for you either! 7 days! Craig David 😂 anything noticed?!

So I may have taken apart that frer last night.... it's got a definite faint second line.... poss evap-some pink at the edges obviously it appeared after a good 10mins so result is invalid! Tried to take a pic but couldn't capture it....

Not sure what to think! Didn't test this morning but I might tomorrow am. Jesus!! 🙈

When you get your bfp how are you going to tell your other half?

McTufty · 05/07/2017 13:04

Ahhhhh exciting emhw!!!! Let us know!

I'm going to tell him I've bought him a present and get him to close his eyes, and put the positive test in his hands!
