Thanks y'all, I'm glad to know I am not seeing things, I thought I was going crazy I just went out and purchased 2 boxes of Answer 2pack pregnancy tests, I lucked out, they were on sale. So I will take another test tomorrow morning... I'm still cramping so who knows we'll see how it goes... I hope it's not another chemical guys

 

[BeachChica]

Emme - with the line and your temps the way they are, I really think things are looking good!! I have everything crossed for you!!!

 

[Sooperhans]

I see something Emme! Have you re-tested today....? GL!!!!!! Xxx

 

[Nicki123]

Hi Emme I think I see a faint line too! Oh wow this could be it, test again soon and let us know.

Soop how is your throat and When are you going to test?

So, lovely Sunday morning topic - Ewcm! I thought I'd go about trying to increase mine this month, ready for ttc next month, and started taking EPO (just 1300mg a day) - haven't noticed any change yet but have also not ovd yet. My cycles are a bit erratic but last month I had a perfect 28 day cycle with a +Opk on cd14. I thought maybe acu was getting my cycle back on track. I'm on cd17 today, no + Opk yet but I was reading in Emme's journal some people were saying EPO can delay ovulation. Does anyone know about this? Any other tips? I have read green tea and grapefruit juice are good, wondered if you ladies have any experiences with these things.

Have picked a pic to go with my profile, can't seem to upload one from my iPad so had to pick one of the b&b ones, went for this one called 'orangeman' as DH is a red head so maybe we will have a little orange boy or girl of our own one day

I hope it is Emme! Thanks Nicki throat still killing and have invested in some ice cream! Still no white bits in my throat according to hb...hmmm
Tested with last 2 of the Wilko one's and 2 BFNS. Although the tests themselves are very small and flimsy, it looked like one had a but of colour on it before I even dipped! So I'm going to get some more today in a bit. Thing is, I'm tempted to go and get my faves, the cb ones but they are so expensive! Wilko have a next stage up one from the one's I was using, do I go cheap again?? I can't decide! I have some boots advantage points and I'm tempted to splurge on some cb digis? I'm still worried about my timings as my cycle is weird this month and I didn't really agree with the dotted crosshairs. Argh I don't know! AF would be due tomorrow under normal circumstances, but "normal" kind of went out of the window a few months ago! My boobs are hurting, still got the throat..I don't want another month of "symptoms" albeit it different ones, and get nothing but BFNS...so feeling a bit down

I wish I knew about epo to help you Nicki...will the accu counteract it if it is supposed to delay it? I don't know....although with the pic, the file size may be too big - open it in paint or Photoshop if you have it and re-size it to about 40/50% pixel size xxx

 

[lexi374]

Sopp cb digis are not sensitive and will not show early!! Dont waste your money! Either use frer, or asda or superdrug supposed to be good.

Emme you are in us so probs still in bed, get up and test lol!! :hugso

Nicki ive tried everything lol! I did find epo delayed my ov or at least i put t down to that only did it for 1 month and dont think it helped ewcm, grapefruit juice def helps but again delayed ov for me though i didnt see many other people complain of that, yep drank green tea also it tastes gross! Also it can stop you absorbing folic acid properly so if you drink it in the morning take your vits at night.

 

[Nicki123]

Haha yes wake up Emme!! It's prob about 6am where you are

Thanks for the tip re Green Tea lexi, I didn't know that and as I also hate it I think I'll just avoid that all together. I love grapefruit juice so might give that a whirl ...

Soop not sure what to advise re tests, I've used cheapo boots ones in the past and they worked quite early, I only used digis when I knew I was def pg to see if the weeks went up. But they are flippin expensive. Re pics, uploading my own isn't even an option, it's greyed out. Might be cus I'm on the iPad, will try on a 'proper computer' sometime and see if that works.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks about the tests advice...strangely the frer ones have never shown an early result for me when I was pg before...they only showed a bfp once cb digi had, so I was wondering if cb worked early for some reason. Hmmm I don't know, might pay superdrug a visit and maybe the wilko next grade up. I have never got a bfp off the boots own brand, even when frer and cb did, so for that reason I dint trust them and prob because of that I am wary of other own brands...xx

 

[lexi374]

Ive had good early results with frer and asda and the digi said not pregnant!

Lots of other ladies say good things about superdrug, i dont think boots own are as sensitive or tesco from what ive heard.

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you Lexi think I'm being a stresshead today about it all! Just got back in, now have 2 double packs of superdrug one, 2 packs for £7.99. Just wondering whether to now leave it a few days, ie to weds, as I have had negs today? Feel so edgy about it, BFNS don't have the greatest effect on me at all xx

 

[lexi374]

Ah i know its crap seeing white spaces, maybe if you can leave it a couple of days then that would be a good idea? We dont really know for sure when you ovd so you still may be mega early...

 

[Sooperhans]

Thank you hun, will do xxx

 

[thurl30]

Hi everyone

Soop how you doing? I was just reading about your test dilemma, I have only found the CB digis to work for me, I have had a digi that said pregnant 1-2 but couldn't really see anything on the cheaper ones, everyone is different though, fingers crossed xx

Lexi not long now, 1 more sleep! I have everything crossed for you xx

Emme have you tested again? lots of luck your way xx

Hi to everyone else, hope you're all having a lovely Sunday xx

afm - I still haven't had a pos opk, CD22 today doh! I was just walking round a garden centre though and I got a wave of a sick feeling came over me, I still feel a tiny bit sick now, I thought this might be a sign of ovulation, anyone else had this? Also, Lexi I saw you post about cold feet, I always have cold feet! What does this all mean in terms of fertility? xx

 

[lexi374]

Thanks hun x. Im feeling nervous about it now. From sun to wed i was convinced it was all over symptoms just disappeared, but last couple of days constipation is back and boobs been sore on and off, im not sure what to think really!

My feet are usually cold too, my acu guy just said make sure you keep warm, keep abdomen covered and also keep feet warm cos cold feet = cold uterus and you want to create a nice warm place.

our lounge is always cool and im quite cold anyway so i used a hot water bottle for half hour or so in the evenings to make sure i was warm.

 

[thurl30]

So if you have a cold uterus can that cause problems? Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I do everything I can, I think I will start using my hot water bottle now! Anyway, all you can think is positive.. the wait is nearly over for you now, just try to relax tonight and keep that uterus warm! xx

 

[lexi374]

I guess in their eyes it does, i dont know really i didnt ask that many ?s lol

 

[thurl30]

Well it's gotta be worth a try, I will give anything a go

 

[Nicki123]

Hey soop, I'd give it two days if you've had BFNs today, if you can wait that long.

Lexi good sign some of your symptoms are back! All my fingers and toes crossed for tomorrow

thurl, I think acupuncturists think that a cold uterus is because Blood-flow to it isn't as good or strong as it could be. They try and improve blood-flow with the needles but also recommend Hotwater bottles, avoiding really cold foods etc to help it along. I also always get cold feet so like lexi am keeping my feet toasty. Have no idea if it's has any proven effects but I am usually cold but like to be warm so am embracing the advice.

 

[thurl30]

Hi Nicki, thanks for that, hot water bottle it is then
