Congrats thinkpink! The 2ww is tough when you're trying to pretend to play it cool �� I am due af next Monday. Fingers and toes are crossed. Starting to worry I'm not bding long enough into the month! Might be tempted to start tracking ovulation properly next month. Can anyone recommend a brand of cheapie ov sticks from the Internet??

I got mine on amazon.

Easy to use, clear instructions so would recommend.

CD16 and still no +OPK. Had some dull aches this morning? But nothing else to report. I will keep myself busy until tomorrows POAS!

What time of day are you doing the sticks Dingdong? I think I read somewhere that afternoon was better though I may just be making that up! I've read so much recently it's all merging into one. That may be my exam revision tho!

lulu - let's hope that the pain and lack of cramps are a positive sign for this month. Now you just have to hold off POAS for a few days more. Easier said than done.

AFM I have got epic nipple tenderness which I am not too happy about. Got to BD today/tues/thurs to complete the SMEP is cycle. I will be glad to have a rest, it's nice to BD more often then normal but can't help but feel we're doing it just because we have to sometimes.

I usually test at about 12pm as it is my lunch break, I know you're supposed to test at the same time each day but I've had that much going on the past few days I've found that difficult which has sometimes resulted in testing twice in one day.


LisaJane - my OPK's were from ebay but look pretty similar to the ones pm04gn has linked in. How long before AF is due have you been BDing?

What about switching to after work. Have a wee at lunchtime and then hold until you got home. Easier to hold your wee when you're distracted I reckon. Just checked and that's the info I got from smep so maybe worth checking. It's because most women get the surge later in the day.

Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow

Why have I never thought of bringing a hot water bottle to work before?! I'm so snug!

So I'm 12DPO today. I still feel sick - but no vom-ing in the kitchen sink today.

Starting to feel like I'm out this month, I feel very PMT-ish (snappy and irritable) and have had mild cramps on and off all day, though that could be wind! Isn't my husband lucky to be married to me! I'm such a catch :rotfl:

My boobs are usually sore by now though, just on/off itchy nipples so far. Oh it's sooooooo confusing

Hopefully my IC's (and fate tempting OV sticks) should arrive tomorrow - not sure I'm going to restrain myself from testing. I already have an old contact lens case lined up as a suitable *ahem receptacle :eek:

Hope everyone has had a good Monday x

It does take the romance out of it doesn't it!
