    Morning ladies!!!

    Don't really know what to tell you..! BFN with FMU and absolutely NO sign of AF, whatsoever. I am CD25(22) so 3 days late. I have been weeing like mad this morning and I've only had 1 glass of juice!

    What sensitive pg test should I buy? I used the CB plus again this morning and I know it's not the most sensitive. Maybe try a more sensitive one tomorrow morning?!? I am mindful not to waste loads of money! Or are there any cheapy sensitive ones?

    Where's puzzled?

    Oh and I forgot to say, I haven't had any of the sharp ov-like pains today. Is it possible they were implantation and there won't be enough HcG in FMU today or am I just looking for every bit of hope...................................................?

    About a day or 2 after we DTD, I had verrrrry stretchy, jelly-like CM. Do you think that could have been ovulation?

    But because I don't have an established cycle, if my period doesn't arrive, how long should I wait before starting to think about testing?

    BB

    Hi BB
    Yes, CM does go like that when you ov but it's difficult to determine as you have nothing to compare your cycle to. I would say to carry on as normal until you get AF or, test in 2-3 weeks from when you think you ov'd. I had the same when I came off pill, was all over the place. Just remember to chill as stress is not good for TTC or AF

    I'm back!:j Been on a long flight:o

    10DPO, but to be honest, I don't think we caught it this time. We BDd 2 Highs before Peak:( Good thing is because I ov'd late, we should be able to catch next ov:j I'll go back to Clomid etc for that, so fingers crossed will get ov on time:cool:

    Welcome home QQ!! It's not over til AF, remember and 2 days before peak is possible as sp can live for up to 7 days :eek:
    And if not, next cycle sounds promising!!! :T

    Hi smash. I know your cycles are short, do you know when you ovulated? If your luteal phase is usually short, although your perio may be late perhaps it's too early for pregnancy hormones to be detected? Just thinking what could be happening.

    Welcome back! Best to not be hopeful then like me you can be pleasantly suprised....(I missed both peaks and only did it once before in the 7 day window...well, maybe twice but can't be too sure). :D

    Sorry for all those who got AF. Bamby Wamby got a BFP again as she's popped up on the PG thread so not sure if that gets Jan off to 3 or whether she was Dec. x

    Congratulations ddebski!

    I caved and did a test last night which I know was daft but as expected it was BFN. AF due today but doesn't normally come until the evening. I was thinking, would a test actually show for me this early anyway? My LP is only 10 days going by my cycle lengths so I am only 11dpo today anyway. It's so confusing!

  • Smash 7 - Good luck - I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you!

    Little Angel & Debski - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!:j

    CD12(dunno yet) for me - BD last night and will do tonight too.

    I had another negative OPK yesterday but that was to be expected as I think it's still too early and I don't have any CM.

    I have a couple of questions though - I hope someone can shed some light.

    1. My OPK tests are negative as only the control line comes up. Should I be worrying that only one line shows? I was expecting to have 2 lines come up - the control line and a faint test line.

    2. This might be TMI! - How do you guys check your CM? Do you check it when you wipe? Or do you check inside?? I was reading another forum where the women are checking inside :eek:.

    Cheers guys!!!
    FIngers crossed for all of us! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
