    With IC OPK, I'd test from CD8, twice a day in the afternoon & evening. CBFM will probably ask you from CD9:)

    I know, this thread is addictive:p

    How did it go?:j

    It didn't. Came home and slept. Woke up this morning and he's stressed to the max and gone back to work as customers coming in. Had a little cry whilst he went for a shower and then when he went to the closet I started the "why can't we come first...". It didn't end in a row which is good and he did say his mission is to get this done and come home so I said I could come home from work whenever he called me....I feel a headache coming on!

    I am gutted. Gutted to the max. So in summary this month. We hadn't DTD for various reasons (none tho falling out) from 22nd July til high on CBFM at CD13. CD14 was high yesterday and, well, we know how that story ended. I got OV pains last night so my only hope it today/tonight with whatever happens. I am still having the pains in my side so hopefully the swimmers can catch the egg up and hopefully it's on a really slow journey.

    Wouldn't be so bad but tomorrow is my bday, next week wedding anniversary. I really got my hopes up and it looks like yet another cycle missed. Really need PMA today to get me thu the day.

    Thanks for listening. Nobody is up I can talk to so this has helped...although eyes are like pools of water with tears :cry:

    (((Hugs))) Fantafan.
    Since ov pains are still going on, today may not be too late, especially since your temp went down today:) Good luck tonight:j

    Thanks Q. Just what I needed to hear although I did take temp earlier. In for a penny, in for a pound. There's nothing productive by being unhappy so onwards and upwards.

    A Level results day today so Clearing hotline will be hot hot hot!

    Aw fanta sweetie :( I know that feeling so well, our OH's are the same when it comes to dtd but you will get there hun. I was going to say what Q just has, if you are still getting ov pains today you are still in with a chance. Ginormous ((hugs)) to you and all you other ladies wether you need them or not :p x

    Hi all and fantafan so sorry, hope things ease off a bit and next month is better for you both so all the stars line up. Happy birthday for tomorrow if I forget or can't make the thread!

    Deborahmc, pebblespop and ddebski - thanks for comments, we do have some cash aside already (around £3k) so my plan as I earn more than OH would be to put more in savings until baby is born. I would love to have a full 6-12 months off without the stress of worrying.
    We do have some bills to settle before Christmas but that will be ok.
    I don't have a maternity package at work, and as it's a very small company, I know my absence would be massively felt and we have no plan B - boss would have to know about it pretty much as soon as we got past say 4 months, but it might be noticeable earlier really.
    I am struggling I guess wih negative chatter i got from my mum growing up, always saying that my bro would have kids before me, that he was much more a baby person etc - maybe this is what she got told when she was growing up, I don't know.
    Anyway OH and I know this not to be true, it just messes with the mind and makes me doubt myself sometimes when it all gets intense!
    Start of CF yesterday and mild lower stabbling pains so I guess I am def not a day 14 gal, saw a movie last night so no luck BDing, here's to tonight...
    Thanks for listening to my rambling!

    Aw fanta, so sorry :(
    I get the 'why can't we come first' feeling too but ours always ends in a row as OH gets defensive about his job and says I'm not the only one who hates his travelling. Sometimes I just feel that he's off on a jolly (he isn't he works hard) when I'm stuck at home - he probably feels I'm in heaven being home alone to do whatever I want to instead of hotels!

    Anyway, enough about me. Hopefully he'll be home early for your birthday & anniversary and you can spend some special time together relaxed and happy. I know it's another cycle missed but we'll all still be here next cycle (well hope not but you won't be alone anyway!) xx

    Good morning ladies

    Firstly, fantafan - so sorry for your overnight stresses.... unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way doesn't it! :( Like the others have said though, if OV is still happening, today will still be a good day so make sure of the "headache" you feel coming on....... :D

    Thanks for the crossed fingers girls. Chickpea - how you getting on, BFP twin (hopefully!)?

    CD25, 10dpo for me. Temp back up by 0.2 degrees this morning. Have a queasy belly, cramping still and slight back pain. AND I had to get up in the night for a pee!! I *NEVER* do that! Then I couldn't get back to sleep though so wonder if my temp reading is accurate (prob dodn't get 3 hours between getting up and taking temp).

    (I have a naughty secret too - I POAS yesterday - just to get the "craving" out of my system - obviously a BFN..... :()

    Anyway, something to cheer us ladies up. I get my puppy on Sunday evening (should take my mind off TTC!) She's 8 weeks old and I *LOVE* her - so cute....... :D

    (they aren't very good - she doesn't keep still!)

    Thanks guys for all your support. It's really refreshing and is helping me lots.

    Off to work as apparently "I've been up all night...just couldn't sleep and I feel a headache coming on".

    Finger wagging to Debs as you know it's too early and remember they can change from day to day from what experience others have had.

    :smileyheaOohhhhhhhh Debs a Border Terrier? Lovely just adorable, puppy love.

    DH who has allways been unsure on wanting kids, seemed quite in to the idea in Ikea yesterday, talking about buggies, cots etc.
    Think I could be 2dpo and CD19 today.

    Have a good day one and all. xoxox

    (never thought I would turn in to a obbessisve female but I can quite understand ssing, and all that jazz now! Wierd!:o)
    Pawpurrs x ;)
