24th July CD1 ... I need buddies!!

[Sambatiki]

Farie - sorry you got food poisoning

rachelle- glad you are enjoying the relaxed approach this month.

 

[krissi]

AF has left the building!! Feel so much calmer this month, not gpoing to start OPKs til CD9 as I ovulated CD14 last cycle.

Got so much else going on at the mo that TTC feels a bit of a chore this month!! Hopefully the BFP will sneak up on me as i'm not trying so hard!!

 

[Sambatiki]

Krissi - The best things usually happen when you least expect them!! Fingers crossed. Im a OPK virgin I have a 29 day cycle so should I be POAS around CD10??

 

[krissi]

I would probably say CD 10 is about right (unless you start getting EWCM earlier), the best time of the day to test is after 10am, i usually test around lunchtime and then if it is a faint line i will test again at about 6pm. Don't use FMU though x

 

[Sambatiki]

Thanks I'll probably have to wait until 6pm when I get home. Will that be ok or too late in the day?? Do you have to hold on to pee for a while?? Or would it be too concentrated?

 

[Nicnac]

Hey Ladies,

How are we all today? Despite my attempts to stay away for a while, my willpower got alittle lost!! - guess I was missing you all too much. I'm sat outside a McD's hijacking their Wifi. Only drawback is the amount of kids & babies everywhere. Not fair!!!!!!

Not much to report, AF left the building on Saturday, but OH went to Global Gathering so wasn't in a fit state for anything till Monday!!! (I didn't want to go this year as got completely washed out the last two years in a row, and didn't fancy mini skirt and driving rain! -Samba, hope you enjoyed it as much as my OH, he said it was amazing)

Have been taking my EPO this month and it's having mutliple effects (all positive too, for a change) My skins alot better, the CM is definitely on the increase, and sorry for tmi, but the bowls & bladder are much improved. I can now go through the night without needing a wee!! Yea me!

Off on my little mini break with Sister & gorgeous nephews (9 & 5yrs), so am looking forward to some RnR by the seaside. Just hope this weather stays. Hoping the EPO also delays Ov slightly this month, as prime days are going to be while I'm away. Have been getting in some practice before hand, and will jump when we get back too. Fingers crossed, though not overly hopeful. Think I may take Krissi tact and try to forget about it hoping it'll sneak up on me anyway.

Wow I'm rambling here, and it was only supposed to be a quick hello.

Glad I'm back!

Nicnac

 

[Sambatiki]

Hey Nicnac glad youre back too!! Youre sounding nice and positive. Fingers crossed for that delayed OV. Can't believe you missed out on global this year, although its not so bad for me as I only live a few miles away and my friends dad owns the airfield so had proper toilets and stayed at his house.

Hope that you enjoy your break away sounds like fun.

 

[krissi]

Sambatiki 6pm is fine and you don't need to hold your wee in.

Hi Nicnac, i just went and bout some EPO too so start taking today its half price at Holland and Barretts at the mo!!

 

[Sambatiki]

Thanks Krissi Im really excited about tracking OV now hope that it works!!

 

[krissi]

I like doing it and it cures my POAS urges!!

 

[Sambatiki]

I hate being out of control of anything so I suppose its one way to have a small part of control. Im not going to start temping just yet however I know that it probably won't be long before I start!!

 

[krissi]

Temping is good to tell for def you have ovulated with the OPKs but i found it drove me mad during 2WW!!!

 

[Sambatiki]

Yeah I expect every little temp rise made you think... Where is everyone today??? Its so quiet

 

[wishes]

Yeah I expect every little temp rise made you think... Where is everyone today??? Its so quiet

Im here!! Think the sun is driving everyone outdoors int he fresh air... god damn!!

opks def help the control issue and the poas urges!.... i have 31 day cycle and have to start on day 10... so id start day 8/9 if i was you. My ones say that afternoon is best as others have said, but mine also say that you mustn't drink or wee for 2 hours before you test, then you have to leave it for about half hour to reach room temp before you test. Ive always followed the instructions properly and ive had accurate readings every cycle. (infact first cycle using opks i got my bfp)

Wahoo!! AF has left the building... and I cant wait to get started again.

 

[Sambatiki]

Wishes - Thats great news the has flown!! . So you reckon to start tomorrow?? Im so pleased that Im with a bunch of very helpful TTCers. Has anyone seen the CD1 (1st july) thread. They have had 25% with more still to test. How fab is that. Lets hope that we are just as successful here.

Whens everyones testing date so we can make a note.

Im due / 22nd Aug

Hey ladies
CBFM has arrived ... now just got to decide whether to lie to it and say CD5 so i can start using it this cycle the lady on the hotline thingummy said it would be ok, but I don't want to mess it up

Wishes - loving the sunshine! I wish i could get OPKs to work .. never got a + at all hence the CBFM
Nicnac - welcome back
Sambatiki - as wishes said .. if your cycle is 28-29 days I'd start POAS about CD8/9 - glad you mojo is back .. just make sure you dont break your OH before the big O!!
Babaycakes - how you doing honey?
Krissi - hopefully the relaxed approach will be the key to your success ... I think we have all had cycles where TTC feels more like a chore than a pleasure .. i usually take it as a sign i need to step back and just enjoy DF for fun!
Hollee - how you doing honey?
Lulu - how are you doing this cycle? any plan to catch that

 

[Sambatiki]

Farie - oooh have fun playing!!

Hiya Hun x

Glad you got your CBFM so have you decided you gonna lie?? If i were you i would wait till the next cycle so then its all correct.....but its your new toy so you'll probably be very eager to start using it straight away - mmm temptations temptations, lol.

I'm doing okay - still waiting for my Clinical trial stuff from CB i just want to play with it now!!

Been shopping today but has been uneventful so going again tomorrow in a different town - so hopefully be more successful

Hope all you girls are okay xx

 

[Sambatiki]

OOh babycakes didn't realise that you had been chosen!! I bet you are sooo excited. Hopefully it'll be your lucky month!!

 

[Lulu]

Lulu - how are you doing this cycle? any plan to catch that

Hey, I'm good thanks Going to start using OPKs for the first time this month, I like the idea of the Sperm Meets Egg plan! But after reading what some of you have been saying I'm not sure when to start using them? My cycle is 26/27 days and according to FF on average I ov on day 11-13 but maybe that isn't right. How early do you think I should start testing?? Been doing this for nearly a year and all of a sudden I'm beginning to feel like a total newbie
