    I gave him his eyedrops and a cold cloth and we did manage a bd.:j Not sure it was the right thing but had a lot of ov symptoms today and I was worried it was a positive on the way out or we'd miss it if we waited. Normally get decent results with ics so perhaps this batch is a bit dodgy??

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Possibly code, I had a weird batch a while back. Are you temping too?
    First baby due 3/3/14 - Team Yellow! Our little girl born 25/2/14 :D

    Oh how annoying. No temp rise this morning, which means no egg yet, which means I'm going to have to phone the hospital and reschedule hubby's SA. It was supposed to be on Thursday but he has to abstain for two days beforehand, and if I've not laid an egg yet then we can't just stop BDing.

    Sigh...

    Had a good old chat to MIL on the phone last night and told her about the difficulties we'd been having. She was lovely and very sympathetic, actually felt a bit better afterwards.

    Yeah bit much like the last time I tried my chart is nonsense. I'm too much of a restless sleeper and never really get 3 hours of unbroken sleep, sometimes I kick the covers off and wake up freezing, other times I burrow under them and wake up too hot. So my chart looks like the Rocky mountains. Should I disregard my AF temps?

    Strange - half that post disappeared.

    Angeltreats - sorry about the delay with your OHs SA. Hope you ov soon

    Skint - nice to see you back. Bet you won't be around too long. Can't hurt to talk to your GP and see what the options are.

    Welcome back Skint :) some antidepressants are ok to take whilst ttc, as someone whose also suffered from depression/anxiety for most of their life, I'd make an appointment at the docs if I was you.

    Code - maybe you should buy some different ov tests, I've never had much luck with the IC ones.

    I had a teeny tiny bit of light pink spotting in the evening - literally barely visible, so thought AF may arrive today...but nothing at all overnight or so far this morning. This is what happened last month too, when AF was due I had couple days of spotting. Really don't know what to think.

    What does IC mean re OPKs? This is the first month I've had slightly darker lines (still not darker than the test line, but very clearly visible) so I recorded them as positive on my FF chart. So does that count as an ov?
    Temp wise - I've been up and down slightly every single day since my temp rose on on CD9. I have zero idea what's going on. Done it a lot over the last week just to be sure, we get into the rhythm (LOL!) of 2 days on, 1 or 2 days off.
    I'm hoping but also not going to cry that much if I'm not pg in July as I've organised a hen do and it would look a bit odd if I was the only one not drinking.
    That's what I'm telling myself anyway!!

    MAKES SENSE. So, yes, I've been using internet cheapies - I am waaaaay too tight to spaff £20 on something I will ultimately use to pee on.

    Talking about POAS, the CBFM has suggested I could test today if I want - Day 28 but I usually have 31 day cycle I think. It's bad enough trying not to test without that machine saying Go on, Test, Test, Test!!! Well ok it didn't word it like that but still. I am being so good and not even thinking about testing but it is TEMPTING me!!! The reason why I don't like to test in advance is that if it's negative I convince myself that it's too early so that's why it's not showing. At least if I wait till AF is due I can't kid myself. Plus I hate getting BFNs so in a way no news is good news. :cool:
