  • Hi guys. Are cramps and twinges a good sign after OV or is that just normal and I haven't noticed before? Lol
  • Congratulations, Angel.

    Can I ask where you lovely ladies get your ICs from? I don't generally get AF and I'd like to stock up for paranoia reasons (anyone see / read the Implanon news story?) but as it's unlikely any would be positive, I'd like to spend as little as possible. That said, OH was quite upset at our BFN this morning!

    Just wanted to crawl out of lurkdom and wish everyone on here a happy new year and I hope you all get your BFPs sooner rather than later. I was hoping to be joining you this year (hence the lurking and picking up tips) but we're putting it on hold until my implant is due to be replaced (18 months). I'll still be lurking though. Hope not to see you on here when I join up properly!

    :wave: Hiya COMP!

    Fancy seeing you here! :) I'm same as you, not quite ready to start trying yet, but keep lurking, occasionally chatting and picking up info/tips. I'm quite shocked by how little I actually knew! :eek:

    And I second your sentiment. I hope all of you have had your BFP's by the time I start. :D

    felt like she might come yesterday but no luck!

    Hi Pebbles, I know what you mean, its like, "hurry up af"

    Hope that was a sign its on its way! x

    I got mine from Ebay - 25 (or 50) for around £4 (can't remember how many I ordered now). There is a link to the seller somewhere in this thread........ might be back a few pages now though.......


    ETA - I think this is where I got them from

    Mrsvicx - do you know when you ovulated?

    Jen152 - I think your meant to target the days leading up to it too so all is not lost. I ovulated 5 days later than expected last cycle so wa nearly ready to give up (too tired!)

    Kimmymarky - yes and yes! It can be a good sign or can be normal. I have a hopeless memory so never managed to see patterns in what happens on what day of my cycle. No SSing!

    Smash & Ddebski, you may be still too early (((hugs)))

    Lauralou, nice to see you, hope you are OK:)

    Keza, welcome:wave: Sorry about the witch catching you:o

    Would you like to be listed on the first page?
    Would something like this be OK?

    Portsmouthali, hugs for getting caught by the witch

    Welshpolarbear, it all depends on luck:D
    If you are like me, and like to be in control and know when I ov, then CBFM is a must. But I don't rely on it completely, I also temp and do opks:p

    I'd start with BDing every other day, and see how it goes. Perhaps get cheap opks and BBT thermometer next cycle if not BFP, and go from there.

    Welcome Katenut:wave:
    Would you like to be listed on the first page too?

    BB1984, after one ov's, the egg can live for about 24hrs.
    Hope you caught it this time:)

    KimmyMarky, ov pain can happen before/during/after ov, so is not reliable.

    Clearing out, I got my opks from Amazon:http://www.amazon.co.uk/50-Ultra-Early-10mIU-Pregnancy/dp/B0026RKBWM/ref=pd_sim_d_2
