Tui, good idea I will look at ebay..

No idea if i ovulated the opk on monday had an almost dark second line but i had all the usual o pains i get, so dont know if i somehow missed the surge or only got the tail end yesterday opk was white and no more ewcm so tentatively hoping i am 1dpo...

 

[Tui]

Sometimes my surge comes so quick I miss the really dark line. Welcome to the tww ! Fingers crossed for you. Someone needs to get a bfp on this thread.

 

[taztap]

Checked ebay holy crap its so cheap.. BUT estimated arrival date 15 October lol. guess I will just have to wait...

Dreamt i got a postive pregnancy test last night was so real i was almost convinced i was pregnant when i woke up.. Stupid dreams..

 

[Tui]

I hate it when you get vivid dreams like that. Can be upsetting. Hope it comes true for you.

The stuff I get from china takes about 3 weeks so you need to think ahead. Get some opks and hpts while at it. Sooo cheap in ebay. Hope it doesn't take that long.

 

[laurac1988]

I hate those dreams too. They're pretty upsetting.

Still waiting for +ok over here. It sometimes doesn't show up until cd26 but I'm hoping for earlier because of the soy and metformin this month

 

[Tui]

Waiting is so crap. Chocolate makes it bearable. God I'll be the size of a house soon, lol.

 

[taztap]

Also hate waiting am a naturally impatient person.

Is it possible to have ovulation bleeding, just noticed I seem to have brown spotting, i NEVER spot so I am very wtf, also have slight pain in left ovary.. Hope nothing is wrong.

I'm doing the Clearblue trial so using the dual hormone digis- I got my first flashing smiley today! That's a sign my oestrogen is surging now and most women get the solid smiley, which is for the LH surge, within 4 days so Fx I'm going to ovulate soon! Laura- we might be cycle buddies again!

 

[laurac1988]

Eeeeeek yay Fezzle!

And taztap - yeah ovulation bleeding can happen

 

[kwynia]

For me, I usually get ewcm then a day or two later ovulation cramping and the day after that light brown spotting, but just a little bit. I'm not sure I would even notice if I wasn't paying such close attention to every little thing. A opk gets positive for me just before the cramping starts. It feels like menstrual cramping but smaller and very obviously to one side. After spotting my cm goes away, unless its a bfp month then it doesnt go away, just turns a little creamy. But, that's just me, I know there are an infinite number of variations.

 

[Fezzle]

I've had ovulating spotting- usually after BDing, but not always. Mine is usually really light red, like a peach colour though. I think during ovulation my lining gets more sensitive, plus more BDing, makes me bleed though rather than it being from my uterus.

 

[slowloris]

I wish i had bought some tests yesterday or today when i saw them! IM going mad!

 

[Lynny77]

I've never had ovulation cramping or spotting. I'd never know I was even ovulating if not for opk's. Though I do get a day of ewcm but every month that varies of how many days before ovulation it is. I wish I'd get a good O cramp so I'd know!

Slowloris- you can do it! lol.

Tui and Cutie how you guys doing?

Fezzle hows the trial going? I use the CB Fertility Monitor and I really like it. Takes the guess work out of opk's. Though those sticks can get pricey so my long cycles I burn through a bit of them.

Hi to everyone! DPO 6 today. Just enjoying a coffee and starting my day since I'm working nights this week.

 

[cutieq]

Lynny, I'm excited for you!

I'm thinking I'm out but hanging on to hope. All symptoms I had are gone and my temp dropped but I'm holding onto faith.

 

[laurac1988]

FX lynny and cutie!

I'm bored of waiting for +opk already. I just want to get the insemination done and get into the two week wait. I swear waiting for +opk is more stressful than the two week wait for me. I think because we have to hope and pray that the donor will be available... Even though he hasn't let us down yet

 

[Lynny77]

Thanks Cutie and Laura! But I think I'm out before I even started- having only bd'd the night after a positive opk. No symptoms at all either- which I'm pleased with haha!

Cutie you're not out until the witch shows! Symptoms come and go!

Laura- I know what you mean about waiting to O being stressful. I don't O until day 18 typically and since I fly for a living I try to trade my schedule around so I'm home my fertile week, but I've had a couple months- including this one where I o'd day 23 or so and I wasn't home for it. Makes me insane!

Also, I just called the fertility clinic and it looks like they were waiting for me to call to tell them I was ready to get started. I was like- I'm ready! I feel so much better now! I was worried they'd forgotten about me. Next cycle I can really ttc and hopefully I'll get my uterus surgery and a baby will stick! Hope for the future yay!

So far it's ok- I've got into a routine of peeing into a cup and sealing/labelling it every morning. And now doing the OPK too! I just sent my first batch of 14 samples in today (though 4 of them were empty- Day 1 because I peed before AF started and the last few days when we were away).

 

[laurac1988]

The night after a positive opk is fine. That's the timing I had when I got pregnant with my angel

 

[Tui]

Hi everyone.

Lynny have some faith. You had perfect timing and it only takes the once, lol.

Slow, don't do it, unless its a frer, haha.

Fezzle, those monitors sound great, I want one. Too expensive here.
