Ok, I have just sat and eat a full jar of Mussels!

Could this be a sign?

lol

AnguaVonUberwald · 14/06/2009 21:13

Welcome Trixle and good luck.

I have been feeling sick all day - very positive sign until I realised it was stomach acid!

Does anyone know what the earliest you can possibly test is?

AnguaVonUberwald · 14/06/2009 21:13

Or rather - the earliest you can possibly get a meaningful result!

NewMember · 14/06/2009 21:31

I would say 2/3 days before your AF is due!

engelbart · 14/06/2009 22:19

I've heard that some people have had a bfp 10 days post ovulation... Needless to say I have a load of cheapie ebay tests which I'll soon be putting to use!

BellasYummyMummy · 15/06/2009 07:37

OMG i got my peak today!!!!! i cant believe it!!! i didnt think i would!!woop!!!

angua, with my dd i tsted 10dpo and got a positive on a cheap internet HPT...... though once you start testing its so easy to get carried away.

mussels?? eww!!!! hopefully thats a good sign NM.

im so excited, though a little bit confused as i had more ewcm a few days ago and would have thought i;d have loads today to coincide with my peak...

NewMember · 15/06/2009 08:09

Thats great that you got your peak

Well my monitor is flashing 'm' which means my AF is due to arrive - not going to test until Wed now! So fingers and toes crossed she does not arrive this month!

Hope all is well

Trixel · 15/06/2009 19:30

Thanks for your welcomes, very lovely.
Good idea not to test til Wed, NM - it's so easy to get obsessed!
Hurray for the peak BYM!!
I'm still on CD7 and lows for now - looking forward to it ramping up..... hopefully!
I'm sort of hoping that it's going to surprise me and be later or earlier than I might have thought - so as to explain why it's taken us longer than usual this time.
Also, my cycle appears to have gone doolally - usually 28 days, but had two 35 day cycles in last 5 months. Blummin bodies, who knows what they're up to sometimes?!

babyinacorner · 15/06/2009 20:39

Hiya - am hoping someone can help me! I have been using the monitor for a few months now and have always had highs days 8,9,10 - peaks on day 11 and 12,high day 13 than back to lows. This month have had highs from day 6! am now on day 13 and still high but no peak. Do I presume i am not ovulating this month? The only thing confusing me is that my body is giving signs that I am ovulating with ewcm, can you have ewcm without ovulating? Please help

Trixel · 15/06/2009 20:51

Nobody puts baby in a corner , eeeh love that film!
However, I'm afraid I'm a bit stumped by that - so not that much use at all. Praps it does mean not ovulating this month, but then why would you have produced the oestrogen so early...?
Some help I am, eh? Anyone else?

babyinacorner · 15/06/2009 21:18

Thanks for replying Trixel. I'm stumped too - clinging onto the hope that i'm ovulating and the monitor has it wrong!the thought of missing out on a month of trying and a possible bfp is too depressing for words

engelbart · 15/06/2009 21:41

babyinacorner - spookily I'm experiencing the exact same as you. Had high CD 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13. Hoping I'll peak tomorrow at CD 14. Let me know what reading the monitor gives you tomorrow - we may both have our peaks!

babyinacorner · 15/06/2009 21:51

ooh how weird! how long have you been using the monitor? is this your usual pattern?

BellasYummyMummy · 15/06/2009 21:54

hi baby, hopefully youll get a peak in the next day or two, bizarre though. Ive had loads of ewcm this month on my low and high days, thinking for sure it wasnt going to give me a peak, but i got mine today (horrah!) and still have ewcm (have had it for 10 days now!). Looking at my TTC journal for number 1, i had loads of ewcm for days before i ovulated, so im sure the monitor hasnt missed it.

babyinacorner · 15/06/2009 21:58

Thanks Bellasyummymummy - the relief of getting a peak is fantastic isn't it? Hey shouldn't you be in bed doing you know what!!?

babyinacorner · 15/06/2009 22:00

engelbart · 15/06/2009 22:10

Baby- Only my second month using the monitor, the first time I had high days from about CD10 and then a peak CD14 and CD15 so it has changed this month. I've had loads of ewcm but TMI ALERT - a bit worried the ewcm isn't working, a lot drips out after DH and I have done the deed rather than being sucked up .

BellasYummyMummy · 16/06/2009 08:52

lol baby don't worry, got the deed done..!

engel, same thing happens to me!! loads of stuff comes out after BDing even when im lying with my legs in the air! LOL. i think thats normal.

AnguaVonUberwald · 16/06/2009 08:54

Well its very busy on here - I am on CD25 - but had my peaks on CD18/19 so no reason to think that I should be geting AF yet!

Doesn't mean I can resist testing though, even if it is far too early.

so BFN so far, but fingers still crossed.

I find its a bit like playing the lottery TTC, you really think you are going to get a BFP every time even if you know its way to early and there is no way!

Fingers crossed for you all.

Trixel - my cycle is about 31/32 days at the moment, so I was quite surprised I got my peak on CD18/19, I would have thought it would be earlier than that, so I am hoping that is why we haven't concieved yet!

engelbart · 16/06/2009 09:08

Yay got my peak this morning! Bang on cd14 as I thought. Did the deed last night and again tonight. DH going away later this week so hope thats enough [fingers crossed emotion].

Did you get a peak today Baby- would be weird if our cycles are completely in rhythm!

Sorry about the bfn Angua but hopefully just because you tested too soon.

Bella- glad its not just me then. I laid down afterwareds for 10 mins last night but it didnt seem to help!

BellasYummyMummy · 16/06/2009 10:05

ooh yay on the peak engel!!!! woop!!!

as you say angua its a bit early to test so no need to be worried about BFNs atm. i know what you mean about thinking you are going to get a BFP, im just so positive about this im thinking there's no way i cant. Just going to keep having PMA, can't hurt right? Im so excited, i am officially counting my 2ww from tomorrow as i have another peak day today. so i think that puts my testing at 28th june if im going on a 12day lp.....!!!!!!!!

babyinacorner · 16/06/2009 18:27

engelbart - peak,peak,peak!!! Nearly wet myself with excitement when it came up this morning. so we are completely in sync now!

well done for doing the deed last night - we did it wednesday, friday, sunday and obviously tonight and then tomorrow and hopefully that's enough.

be back later when ds is in bed.

Trixel · 16/06/2009 19:04

Can't wait to get that little eggy for the first time - how exciting! So pleased for you baby
Engelbart - dya reckon you could go for a last wee before going to bed, then BD, and then not get up again til the morning so that everything settles in nicely before you get vertical again? That's seemed to work for me before, expecially with a couple of cushions under my bum!

engelbart · 16/06/2009 19:28

Thanks for the tip Trixel, may give that a go! Anything to encourage those swimmers to the right place!

Baby- looks like we'll both be busy tonight!! . Planning on doing it again tomorrow night and that'll be it for the month. Wouldn't it be ace if we both got a bfp at the same time too!

bigbrofan · 16/06/2009 23:15

i am new to this... i had a missed mc in jan 09 - i had a d&c on jan 31st. my period returned on 4th march 09. i havent been able to concieve since then...its so frustrating.
