MovingUp

Sorry for being missing in action.


Congratulations Lulu - so so happy for you both. Wishing you a healthy 9 months.


Congratulations to all the other BFPs - May might be the lucky month!!


Well we managed to BD quite a bit over the bank holiday. We seem to not have time in the week which isn't great but we might have done enough this month. Just waiting now. I think I'll be due on in about 9 days and Ovia seems to agree. Waiting sucks.


Big hugs to all those who need them - get yourselves some chocolate and ice cream

Not logged on for a few days so still a few pages behind with my catch up but.....congrats Lulu!

Your news has really cheered me up - after moping today thinking it'll never happen for us (2 real world pregnancy announcements yesterday depressed me - 1 was a total accident) it is heartening to know someone trying for so long gets a BFP! Somehow BFPs on here mea so much more.

Fingers crossed for May BFPs! will keep reading on now....

I am putting myself in TWW although OPKs can't make their mind up!

Hi,
Please can I be updated to CD16, 2DPO? The CB OPKS showed me when I actually ovulated - much later than I thought!! Yay!




Hugs to everyone who needs them - sorry for CD1 eyelinerprincess x

Finally I got a second line on an opk so hoping oh can actually DTD tonight, we've had two botched attempts so far. Really keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm going to guess at 5 bfps this month if I'm not too late

Hi all

Hugs to eyelinerprincess and anyone else that needs it.

I am in the TWW....again....Had lots of AF cramps the last couple of days, which I dont usually get. I am not sure when I will test this month, but I know the pack of cheapie tests in my cupboard will be calling me by the weekend.

Just about to complete on a buy to let so will be really busy in the next few weeks, so could do without any additional stressing out, so I am resigning myself to what will be will be.

Welcome cats2012 and anyone else I have missed.

Good luck with the BD lemon tree!

Fingers crossed for us in the TWW!!!

Thanks for the reassurance, Black Ribboner CD13 today, and I'm no longer convinced I'm menopausal. The Fertility Monitor gave me a "High" reading this morning. Not a peak, but I'll take that. Going to try daily DTD this month since SMEP didn't work last month. We're only on day 2 of daily DTD, and already OH is grumbling that he's exhausted. Thank goodness men don't have to carry the baby for nine months - can you imagine the drama? :laugh:

We used the Conceive Plus last night, but it didn't do much for the mood, with OH complaining it was "too sticky". We will persevere though.

Has anyone else played the charting game on FF? I tried it for the first time and failed miserably. In my defence, they were relying on temp data, and I don't temp.

Can someone help me again with the cheapie OPKs? Does the LH line have to be as dark as the control line to indicate OV? I've had faint to mid lines for the past week or so, with EWCM a few days ago, but now dried up, no OV cramps though and no spotting (which I had last month). I also read on the packet to ignore the line after 30 minutes, which is really annoying as I was hoping to keep all of them and then look at them later in the cycle.

Yes Aileth, it's supposed to be as dark or darker to indicate positive. I never got a positive though and I used them daily the week before I must have ov'd. I only tested once a day in the late afternoon though, so perhaps that affected it? I also took pics at the 10 min point and then binned them.

I've only been doing it once a day in the morning. The darkest it's got is about half as dark as the control line, so guess I've still not OVed. Don't think we'll be in with a chance this month anyway though, OH has been very unwell recently, this is my fertile week too so doesn't look good.

I'm not sure mine even got half as dark, I was convinced I wasn't ovulating. That's why I started temping, and although I didn't do it for long, I definitely noticed a pattern and I think I'd have stopped the OPKs (which I found so disheartening) and just temped.
