@CiaraJ01 oh my, that sounds yummy. Thankfully working from home means I don't need to walk past a costa. I used to get cream,flake, marshmallows hot choc everyday 😂

Actually 10dpo isn't to early. When is AF? I'm 4-5dpo, not sure when to count it from.

I peaked according to cb test on Sunday, but assuming I only ovulated Monday because I had cramps. So technically I should be counting from Monday? So I'm 4dpo? That will mean I start AF in about 12-13 days. What do you think?

Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 08:54

@nt1992 I'm frustrated for you just now!! Whatever is going on its dragging out!

@mellymoo86 this morning was fairly dry and non existent. Will keep an eye out today. Over the weekend shall be interesting as I usually get my pre menstrual sore boobs anywhere between 7 and 10 days before AF so that'll be my next one to keep an eye out for.

@stepmumma91 amazing news!!! So happy for all these BFP's cropping up.
Cant believe you didn't get a positive with an FRER at 12 DPO. 😲

nt1992 · 15/11/2019 09:08

I think AF is here or at least will be in the next few hours. Just wiped and had loads of clear watery discharge mixed with browny bloody like the start of AF🙄

stepmumma91 · 15/11/2019 09:10

@FutureMrsSmith thank you! I know, that's what I'm worried about! Also frequent period type cramps since Thursday. All will be confirmed soon I guess!

Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 09:17

@nt1992 sorry to hear that. Was keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you too.

CiaraJ01 · 15/11/2019 09:19

@mellymoo86 AF is due Tuesday according to premon app but it's my first month using OPKs and the app which had my ovulating much earlier than expected so I'm unsure 🙈

@stepmumma91 experience with FRER gives me little faith for testing 10 dpo with cheapie's x

nt1992 · 15/11/2019 09:27

@Skygirl1983 thank you! I now have about 60 pregnancy strip tests sitting in a drawer in my room 😂 always next month I suppose. Need to stock up on more ovulation strips now

Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 09:34

@nt1992 plenty to keep you going for next month!!

Just been to the ladies. CM non existent now which I'm glad of!

Nothing more when I wipe? But got a pad on for work, I'm expecting her arrival. She's such a cow😂

Louu99 · 15/11/2019 09:42

I wish we could flick a switch and periods would just arrive and at least then we'd know for definite!
I'm having period like cramping, feel very wet but no more discharge. I'm too afraid to ring the doctors 🙁 I'm not supposed to anyway until 2pm.
I've come into work for an important conference (think ex presidents wife) and it's running an hour late! All I thought was "will I still be able to ring the doctor?!" Haha xx

CiaraJ01 · 15/11/2019 09:46

It takes over everything!! I cut through Sainsburys this morning and thought I better just check theres no offers on CB or FRER tests 😂😂
You tell that ex president's wife you've important business to attend to and need to make a very important call 😂😂

In an attempt to distract everyone, what does everyone do for a living?? x

Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 09:46

@Louu99 Mrs Clinton? She was on the One show the other day. I'm well intrigued as to what everyone does now. Lol.

How annoying you have to wait until 2pm though. I bet it's sat on their system now!

I’m loving reading this thread. So according to clue app my ovulation day was last fri & clear blue digital ov test had a smily face last fri night, it was blank thur & sat. I was going to wait till next fri to do FR test but now I’m thinking I might do one Monday. I usually have a 28-30 day cycle, Monday would be CD 28, fri is CD 32 which is when clue has put period due day on but it’s a bit out because of MC last month. Aaarrrggghh I don’t know when to test, although not holding out much hope as only DTD on Wednesday night before ovulation then OH went away for work thur morning, just hoping one of his swimmers hung around long enough. Feels like I’m clutching at straws 😢

Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 10:19

@sh84 they do say it only takes one go so you never know!! Sorry about your MC. I'm hoping its a good month for BFPs this month.

Maisy24 · 15/11/2019 10:21

@sh84 the night before ovulation is the best time to do it! So you are definitely in with a chance! I'm 4dpo today and I'm going away next Friday which will be 11dpo, I'm thinking of doing an FRER then so I know if I can drink or not.

But not sure if 11dpo is too early 😫

Xxx

sh84 · 15/11/2019 10:40

@Maisy24 I DTD 2 nights before positive ovulation test though & that was it. Hmm 11dpo might show something, last month I got a very faint positive last month 6 days before AF due not sure how many dop it was as wasn’t using strips just the app.
@Skygirl1983 it may only take one go but that one go has to be perfectly timed. I’m guessing I ovulated quite soon after pos ov test as it was negative day before & day after

Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 10:48

@sh84 that is very true. The worst bit is getting that timing right!

@CiaraJ01 we definitely do need a good distraction. I work as a Sales Manager in the Pharma industry (clinical trials) looking after south's west Europe. How about you?

sh84 · 15/11/2019 10:54

@Skygirl1983 yep & I’m pretty sure I missed it this month, going to completely miss the whole week next month so no point in even tracking anything

Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 11:00

@mellymoo86 I work for the UKs biggest Air Traffic Services provider making sure Airlines know exactly what flight plans to file for all flights within the UK. I love it and get to meet so many people.
But I'm also ready now to take a year off! Lol

OP posts:
Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 11:01

@sh84 I had a similar month last month. Only had one go at it and completely missed the boat! So frustrating!

OP posts:
mellymoo86 · 15/11/2019 11:05

@Skygirl1983 Ohhh sounds interesting! A year off would be good to lol. I love what I do to but as Im ttc I can't help but get engrossed in all the fertility trials they are carrying out at the moment. I was reading about one the other day that women who elevated their legs after dtd conceived 17% more compared to women who didn't.

Skygirl1983 · 15/11/2019 11:12

@mellymoo86 that's a good bit of inside knowledge! Feel free to share anymore tips as you find them out! Haha

CiaraJ01 · 15/11/2019 11:19
