HI ladies

So sorry to hear about AF Soda. Did you manage to DTD often in your FW? Fingers and toes crossed for next month.

I have literally no idea where my cervix is position wise. I did once try and check when we were TTC DD but it freaked me out a little bit.

With opks, I know a faint line means it is negative. However, are you ever meant to get no line at all, so for example, immediately after you've ovulated, would there be no line at all or a faint line? For no real reason other than TTC induced crazy, I did one today, when I am meant to be I think 7/8 dpo and got a faint line. It has just confused me! Via says another 14 days until fertile window, and 6 days until pg test.

Pinklily1 · 13/04/2018 20:33

Also Soda, I think my AF is imminent, so I will most definitely be here next month.

SJB90 · 13/04/2018 20:35

@pinklilly I think anything that is not as dark as the control line or darker means negative. I think ive read that LH is likely present all the time but there is a surge before ovulation and apparently can happen before AF too x

YassQueen · 13/04/2018 23:23

AF arrived. I thought I'd be gutted but I'm not really, I'm pleased it'll be done before we go away in 10 days and I can deal with a couple more months waiting if it comes to that - I'm biased but spring is the best time to have a baby Grin

YassQueen · 13/04/2018 23:30

Sorry AF arrived for you too soda, come and join me on the TTC#2 May bus? (I haven't seen another one anywhere yet) - May

Hi ladies sorry for being quiet the last few days. So i did another test this morning (12dpo) and even my dh can see it. I said "it even has colour!" to which he replied "are you ascribing it a personality now?".. Thoughts please..

Ah sorry @yassqueen hope you have a fantastic holiday though and FX for next time!

Has anyone got a BFP yet this month?? Whose next in line to test x

Mumma100 · 14/04/2018 00:03

@twittlebee that’s hilarious! I’ll remember that next time!

@catren27 I can see it, it’s hard to see if it has colour, looks like a shadow to me but I can see it! Fingers crossed it darkens up in a few days

sexnotgender · 14/04/2018 05:44

I’m in.
Age 35 (36 in 2 weeks)
DC 14 (previous husband)
Cycle 3

Day 29 of cycle, which is usually 27 days

sexnotgender · 14/04/2018 05:45

CatRen27 · 14/04/2018 05:52

Thanks for replying mumma its weird, it looks so much thicker and coloured in person but ill just have to wait and see tomorrow morning. I've bought some frers. Probably nothing as usual but couldn't help get excited to actually see something there.

TwittleBee · 14/04/2018 06:24

Morning all. Hope weekend shaping up well?

CatRen27 I can certainly see something for sure! Didn't have to do anything either. FX this is it for you!!!

sexnotgender Ahoy there! (Sorry couldn't resist the use of Ahoy at mention of sea haha) happy birthday for 2 weeks time. Anything planned?

So used a FRER this morning and a pink line appeared within 5 minutes although it does look skinny in the pics... I am only 7dpo too tbf

sexnotgender · 14/04/2018 06:29

Nothing planned yet twittlebee, see what happens!
Day 29 here and no sign of AF... really need to find a chemist!!!!

sodababy2 · 14/04/2018 07:06

I'll come over and join you @YassQueen!

Thanks @Pinklily1 - yes, lots of DTD. All perfectly timed - as usual. 

@CatRen27 I definitely see a line! Will you try with a FRER? Fingers crossed for you.

@TwittleBee - looks like it's the start of your BFP! Fingers crossed for you

Cariad2017 · 14/04/2018 09:59

Oooh CatRen and Twittle - I really hope this is IT for you. Do keep us posted.

AF is here (on time, as predicted), bringing cycle 20 to a close. Off to distract myself by viewing a house. We may well have to skip next cycle as I’m having a HyCoSy on CD13 (which is often ovulation day).

YassQueen · 14/04/2018 11:00

I'm a bit confused. I thought AF had started but it's just brown discharge (TMI alert). There's a fair bit of it so not spotting so I don't think it's implantation bleeding, but I had this for a couple of days with the pregnancy I lost in February. I don't want to get my hopes up :(

Pinklily1 · 14/04/2018 11:15

cat,I see a faint line! Are you going to test again soon? twittle, that’s confusing, maybe test again tomorrow with FMU?

Still no AF for me. I know it’s imminent and I just wish it would hurry up arrive and then go away so we can crack on again next month.

I’ve jumped onto the May bus too, thanks for sorting twittle.

Pinklily1 · 14/04/2018 11:16

cariad, sorry to hear your AF has arrived. It sucks. I’m probably being dense but what’s HyCoSy? Hope the house is nice!! Are you moving area?

SJB90 · 14/04/2018 11:40

Sorry @catren your comment before mine hadn't loaded when i last posted! It took me a while but i definitely see something! And you too @twittlebee FX for you both !! Baby dust xx

Pinklily1 · 14/04/2018 18:00

BFN for me today. Don’t know why I even bothered testing, but Ovia says AF is due in two days and have had AF type feelings for a week with no sign of it actually arriving, so tested. I bought pregnancy tests and Tampax in the same shop, that’s the crazy of TTC!

Peanut1980 · 14/04/2018 18:47

@cariad2017 & @pinklily1 sorry to hear AF has arrived for you both. Hope you’re both OK. I’m still waiting to ovulate ⏰ Don’t really know if it’s going to happen with my current lodger (ovarian cyst) but just trying to carry on as normal for now until Drs say otherwise x

mayago · 14/04/2018 20:56

Ooh, fantastic tests CatRen and Twittle Exciting times in this thread Smile

Sorry AF has turned up Soda and Yass I'll join you over in the May thread

Pink TTC makes me into a crazy person but I think I'm quite boring and rational otherwise!

How are you feeling Peanut?

Happysbno4 · 15/04/2018 04:56

Day 29 my longest cycle yet. Very heavy boobs and cramps. Now to test or not to test?

CatRen27 · 15/04/2018 06:17

Exciting @twittle keep us posted!!

Its not looking good on my end, bfn this morning and my temp dropped so think it was a false alarm. Af hasn't shown yet and I'm due on today but I'm probably going to join you ladies on the May thread. Not to worry, just had my dds third birthday party and it was so much fun, surrounded by family and friends i cant complain right now

Xx
