Aw sorry ladders I missed it when you first said about opk today. I'm bursting to start peeing on something hehe but no point until at CD15 or so.
That's so exciting about the digi Jessy, I'm so getting one if and when I get my bfp. I didn't last time but I just feel the need to do everything this time as I think it'll be our last little one. Is it weird I'm feeling sad about that ALREADY?!! Is everyone else thinking this is the last one or that they want more? Sorry if it's been discussed. Memory of a fish...

took me 3 years to want to have another plus i like the idea of having 2. I am assuming i will have another girl i dunno why maybe because my OH brother has 2 girls but id be happy either way.

If we do get another it will be our last as always the plan to have two and I'm 34 soon and dh 37 so prob be pushing for 3 as not exactly easy for us lol. I kinda more feel sad now because worried that we won't get a #2 and all the things I thought I'd do again I won't. Sorry just having a grumpy day

Aw ladders, hope you feel happier soon. I'm keeping all my fingers crossed for you. I'm hoping for two as well, but DH wants three. We've agreed to reassess after we hopefully get a #2- I'll be 32 this year and DH will be 35, so I also don't necessarily want more after that.
I am feeling crampy tonight so I'm not sure we will end up dtd. Either way we have a fair shot with having done so the past two nights- but ahhhh the tww kills!

Ladders, so sorry you're feeling like that. Don't worry about having a grumpy day, we're all here to support you any way we can. If you've never had anything like that last cycle before then I bet it was a blip and this month will be fine.
Bassit, yay for a new cycle. Coming off birth control can feel pretty stressful because you don't know what effect it will have had but now you have something to work from.
Duster, you're timing looks pretty awesome this month, now for the hard part but hopefully the waiting will be worth it.
Jessy, it definitely makes it feel more real seeing it in words doesn't it? Don't know if you found it yet but there's a January due dates group in pregnancy groups and discussions.
Cupcake, thanks for the reply about the scan. I'm still on the fence but DH isn't really keen although he wouldn't say no if the NHS were paying. Where are you up to now? I hope the witch hasn't been too hard on you this month.
Kim, how's the tww going? Hope you're keeping well.
I'm so tired over here. I don't know if any of your LOs have had chickenpox, if so I'd love some advice. Grace seemed to be doing really well until last night. She turned into a demon child and couldn't sleep, was hysterical and started scratching for the first time. I feel so bad for her but I have no idea how to help because she's too agitated to take medicine and won't let me put calamine on her. Oh well, we're on day 4 today she should start to get better soon.

Thanks ladies, back on the opk testing wagon today so ill let you know how it goes!
My dd had chicken pox recently it was hell she had them in her ears mouth and girls bits! I used oral piriton and Calpol. Bathed her in oilathum and used loads of e45 in the day and thus anti itch cream that lasted 10 hours at night. Eurthrax I think. Was a really rough few days I don't envy you annio

Great news on the opks duster, sounds like you've bd at the best time so fingers crossed for you. I hope the tww goes by quickly!
Bassit that's great that you've had a decent length cycle straight after the implant. Hopefully with that & the opks next month will lead to a bfp!
Ladders, I think the same as the others have said that I bet last month was just one odd cycle. Hope the opks start getting some lines soon!
Citrus I think this will be our last. There's a part of me that would like 3, but dh is dead against a third and I don't know if I'd want to do it all again. Never say never, but I reckon 2 will be plenty for us.
Anni, ds had chicken pox when he was about 6 months and it caused him very little issues thankfully, so I can't advise on lotions from a personal point of view, but I've heard good things about a foam you can use, I think it's called poxclin.
6 weeks today and I've woken up feeling really sickly. Had to put sickness bands on my wrists and have a dry biscuit. Yuk.

Anni, they are expensive I guess but I think, personally, it would be worth every penny if it reassures you. I don't know your history but sometimes they will offer early scans on the NHS if you have had mc before or complications. They did with me and for others I know too.
I'm CD7 and af was weird. Started out heavy and painful but after CD2 it was barely there, only on wiping mostly. It went by CD4 and had some spotting which was lighter CD5.
I'm sorry I can't remember what's been posted. Oh, chickenpox. Poxclin is sometimes helpful. I can't remember the age it can be used from though. It is expensive but they sell it in Boots. I can't remember whose child has it at the moment but keep an eye out for any high temperature, lethargy and/or being sick after the spots have appeared. My youngest son had chickenpox and seemed fine aside from the itching until a few days after the spots appeared when he developed the above symptoms and was rushed to hospital with secondary infection after I couldn't wake him. For the most part it's a relatively mild childhood illness, but sometimes it can be serious and develop complications like we saw with our son. I didn't know this could happen, so when I hear of anyone saying their child has it, I always try to remember to point this out in case they don't know what to look for.
For those suffering morning sickness, ginger biscuits, ginger tea or lemon & ginger tea, peppermint tea, mints, travel bands and acupuncture can all help

Hi ladies! I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply for the past couple of days. Man it's hard to catch up lol I didn't take notes so I'll try my best!
Citrus, we're trying for baby number last lol I always said 2 was enough. Then we decided to try for one more and got ds2. Then a few years later decided we would try to even it out and try for another girl by the time we were 30-35. So here we are on the 7th-8th? 9th? Cycle... IDK lol anyway last night, dh said if it works this time and we get a boy, he wants to try one more time for another girl! 😮😮 but I'm not so sure about that lol I would love to have 10 kids if I could, but I don't think we can afford to have a 5th kid after the 4th lol! Dd will be 15 next month and she is soooo expensive right now! It's like every time I turn around she's asking for more money to go get her nails done or go to the movies with friends (we've only just started letting her go with close friends that we know and either their parents or one of us have to go to make sure they stay safe) or she wants to go to the skating rink or the mall or something. Literally. Every. Single. Week. She has to do chores to earn money and has to have good grades and be well behaved to earn the privilege to be able to go off anywhere that costs money after she does the chores to earn the money to go. Ds1 will be 14 next month too so I expect him to want to start doing more things with friends too within the year so at this rate, we couldn't afford a 5th child right now lol
I hope the time to O goes quickly for you so you can start peeing on sticks soon lol I'm 2dpo and already itching to test haha!
Ladders, I'm sorry you were feeling down. Vent away, hunni! You ladies have been such a great support system for me with my crazy cycle this time so I hope to return the favor! I'm hoping you get a positive opk soon! It's frustrating with testing and not seeing the positive and wondering when/if you're going to O or what. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get a positive opk very soon!
Duster, I think it was you that said your dh's B-Day is June 5th? That's a good day! I'm a little biased though 😉😊 and Yayyyy for positive opk's and perfect bd timing! Good luck! We should be testing around the same time? When will you test? Will you be testing early?
Happycupcake, how long is af for you usually? Sorry if you've already said. I'm convinced that was a chemical so maybe that has something to do with the weird af? And wow I never knew that about the chicken pox! That had to of been so scary!! I'm so glad you got help for your LO and he is doing well now. I'm sorry you and him both had to go through that.
Bassit, I'm glad you had a normal length cycle! Good luck on this cycle. What brand opk's did you get? I use Pregmate from Amazon or Walmart.com and I'm pretty happy with them so far.
Anni, I'm sorry your LO has chicken pox! Thankfully none of mine have had it yet so I'm sorry but I don't have any advice on that one. I really hope she starts to feel better and isn't too itchy and grumpy today and tonight.
Daisies, I'm sorry you're feeling sick but try to think of it as a good sign that everything is OK! I hope it's not too bad for you though. I've never heard of a sickness band. What is that?
Jessy, I'm also sorry you're feeling sick and have to go to work. Yuk! Thankfully it passes after a while though so hopefully you can make it through the rest of the week before it really kicks in. I also hope you get to get some rest. It's tough going through the first tri fatigue and sickness and having to work. That's no fun at all.
I'm so sorry if I have forgot anyone! My friend is here honking the horn rushing me and I'm not even dressed and ready to go yet so I'll have to get back on in a little bit and try to reply again lol I hope everyone has a great day!

Should be June 4th ish testing here so we are similar duster. What about you cupcake will you be a little earlier? Can't remember your usual cycle length but I know we are around the same CD? CD9 here.
How are those opks today ladders? Sorry if I've missed it again, I tend to get interrupted by the 2 yr old mid read and forget what I've read! He is currently destroying the garden toys so I'd best get back to him!!!

Kim, they are usually 5-7 days. I think perhaps this is why the weirdness. Yes it was scary, I didn't know it could be like that! I cringe with worry each time I hear someone say they know someone with chickenpox so will take their child round for contact so they get it done with. I know it's better during earlier childhood, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have my child get it after that.
Totally random but looking forward to watching some Sherlock with the eldest this evening. I have already seen them all but I could watch them a million times. Benedict Cumberbatch

Thanks Kim I know I'm doing exactly the same as I did last cy me but it's so hard to not get stressed, don't know how you pasted till CD 30!! I'd be in the Looney bin by then! Hopefully it'll be worth it for you and your out next bfp!!
Citrus opks looked darker this morning and cervix felt more open so I got excited and thought would get darker but lunch was really light again 😕 going to test again later and see but not holding out much hope now for today.
This the first time using ic's when it's positive does it come dark straight away or take the full time to darken? Also I'm having af type cramps today, does anyone else get this around ovulation ? Or have I been checking my cervix too much?

Ladders, I find my OPKs take up to half an hour to get to their darkest but usually if it's positive it will show the test line immediately and will then darken over time. If won't be positive it usually takes a few minutes for the test line to show.
I also have cramps around ov as well

Ladders, I usually see the shift the following day or on the day. Sometimes I will see a positive OPK followed the next day by and darker positive and a shift. As we become older we usually see positives closer to ov day

I'm here to join the party! I'm also 33 and just started ttc no. 2! We have a 28 month old daughter who is the most fun person I've ever met, so we've decided to do it again! It took us about 8 months last time, during which time I had about 5 really long cycles. I came off my pI'll at New Year and I've only had about 3 periods in that time so my cycles haven't really improved !
Actually in the tww at the minute as I got a random positive opk on cd36 I think 😓
Sorry I haven't read the whole thread, but fingers crossed for us all...
