I work also Quinn, I love my job but have struggled at times with feeling a bit torn and trying to be super mum - it's not true what they say - we can't really have it all lol I know for me personally I need to work for myself, but I also love spending time at home and make the most of my time with my kiddies [emoji4]

I've been a stay at home mom since DS1 arrived in 2012 but recently started getting back into freelancing from home so now I have two companies I write for - one is a small magazine distributed in my locality and nearby cities and the other is a very popular mommy website. The long time goal is to write (and publish lol!) a book but right now with the boys taking up most of my time I can't get into the mindset of doing much more than writing short pieces. Its a dream come true being paid to do something I love while staying home with the boys :)
Girls, I'm wondering if maybe we might have missed the egg this month?!! BBs are not sore, just very soft but not sore at all now. CM is clear but had a teeny tiny bit of EWCM this morning when I was cramping. DTD on Friday night around 11.30pm, due to dtd again tonight which MIGHT be too late. If I just bite the bullet and get the expensive CB smiley opks (the ones with the smileys for 2 days not 4 days cause they are just WAY beyond my budget in the pharmacy) will they possibly still give me a smiley even if I Oed this morning? And IF I did O what are our chances with an O-4 (well O-3.5 even)?
I'm a stay at home mom. I worked briefly when DS1 was a baby, and I've gone to school on and off, but my DH is very traditional and prefers that I don't work.

I work as a nurse but am currently on maternity leave. I was full-time but am returning at 18.75 hours in January xx

Thanks poptart
Boyz, get yourself a FRER test. You should get a nice dark line with that.
Immi, so sorry that AF found you. FX that this cycle is your BFP!
Poptart, that's a pretty impressive dip! Hope it's a sign of your BFP to come!
So I now think that FF has my O day off by 3 days. It says I'm 14dpo, but I think I'm actually only 11dpo. I may do a cheapie test today. Don't want to waste another FRER. My LP is usually 13 days with a temp drop on 12dpo. My temps are still high.
Eccense i ll in couple of days. I dont want to waste money on frer right now.
I ll get one in couple of days thanks
Thanks Essnce! I haven't charted long but haven't seen anything that major before now! My temp went on a steady decline from today to AF last month so be interesting to see what happens tomorrow!
.... And do a test! Immediately!! [emoji5]️

I love hearing about everyone's life. It makes me feel not alone but I love that everyone does what is right for their family.
Boyz that still looks good to me. I think the concern right now is if it's getting lighter. That happened during my chemical.
Essnce, I would totally test if I might be 14dpo!!
My af is due Friday and I really want to know. I'm not going to test until then but I feel like my cramps are different than normal. I might be just trying to convince myself though. These days are going to drag!!

I just did a cheapie HPT and it's BFN. I'm pretty sure I'm 11dpo and not 14dpo. If my temp is still high tomorrow then I may do a FRER. If I'm really only 11dpo then AF isn't due till Friday. I have cramps and low back pain. If FF is right and I'm 14dpo today, then AF is due today.
Wait til thurs and we can do one together! X

Boyz - I still think it is a good line. I agree with the others, could you get a FRER?
POptart - He is soooo cute.
I don't hun, would be nigh impossible with DS2 and his awful sleeping! I'm up several times a night every night.Quote:

If I got a -opk I'm presuming I could still skip tonight and continue with E4D tomorrow if we wanted, right? Sorry for being so clueless, my body just seems so messed up at the minute!
How frustrating for you hopper, maybe you were just gearing up and haven't ovulated yet? If there is no smiley I would think you would be ok to skip tonight and do it tomorrow or else wait for your smiley?
Boyz i wouldn't worry to much yet about your line not getting darker if AF is still a few days away, hopefully you just have a slow grower there [emoji4]
Looking forward to your next test essnce and Good luck Friday Quinn I hope you get a positive test and not AF x

Sorry for butting in. Hopper, you always get a negative on the first test with the CB smiley. It's just how it works. So, in future cycles you'll want to start using the CB digital a few days before you think you're going to O. I would definitely bd tonight and continue your E4D pattern. I personally always got the smiley on the day of ovulation. Good luck!! :)
Yea abstaining or every 4 days would be fine Id imagine! I think the idea is that you don't BD any less than every 4 days but any longer than that is ok? I'm still new so def not an expert though!! XQuote:

Thanks a million girls!! Momamia thank you so much for posting that! I so did not know that so I will continue e4d this cycle and make sure to use the CB ones earlier in my cycle next month, if needed (hey a girl can dream right!) DH is less than impressed I've changed my mind and want to dtd tonight, he's claiming to be feeling ill now! Hmmm, he can suck it up lol!!
ETA: I just checked my cervical position and CM. CP seems to be rising (it was lower the other day when I checked) and soft, feels a little open I think but don't want to mess too much as I know it's sensitive) CM is wet and clear, not stretchy but I don't seem to get EWCM the past few cycles of being on LE. Feeling nervous this could be the real deal! I was planning on laying down for about 5 mins after wards (and firmly making sure I do not O!!) And then J&D. What do you girls think?
Ps sorry for the inane questions and idiotic rambling :oops:
Boyzmommy, was your first test a different brand? The line looks good for a cheapy test but best to compare the same brand.. although it's probably best not to compare as there are too many variables like urine stength that change how dark the line is.
..
About me: :)
I have been working full-time since DS2 was about 16 months, DH lost his job so I found one first. It was definitely interesting swapping roles for awhile. Lately he has also been working full-time which is hard work with kids.
I like working but would much rather be part time so I would request to go part time on my return... I'm also considering asking to go 4 days next year when DS2 is in pre-school.
Purple yes the first tes was frer n this one is cheapie
8dpo and stark white bfn. Onto tomorrow. Good luck everyone who's coming up to testing or o :)
Still early Pbn fingers crossed for a different result in a few days [emoji4]

Plan sounds good hopper ☺
Essnce- what a lovely career 😄 all the best for when you test next xx
To anyone i missed may babydust and bfps grace us all xxx
Busy day mopping floors. My last night home before work begins AGAIN...
im a registered nurse working 3 nights a week. I work in a nursing home now the shift work in hospitals was just too much on the kids and having a routine. I would still love to be in the hospital as i miss out on some skills but you have to do what you have to do.
I have started getting ewcm. Last cycle was mainly watery gearing up to O week next week 😃 yahoooo
Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess
Still plenty of time hopper!
Netti, sounds really promising! I get hardly any ewcm ever!! And high five to being a nurse too [emoji5]️
My temp has only risen a lil bit today so I'm not too hopeful for this month [emoji107]

Thanks poptart. I think it has something to do with being so sick as to why i had so little. Ive been battling a chest infection, yet as we've been ttc the past few months ive stayed away from the abs. I think it's slowly leaving my body and i hope it stays that way. Problem is the O is not til next week. I think my ovaries have been producing some nice big follicles and likely multiple these last few months as the O pains when I have a positive opk have taken my breath away.
Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess
I have copied a link to a fbook page on a beautiful Perth family. This young couple had 3 boys all under 3. They decided one more would complete their family. Well one more turned into 3!!!!
There were 2 boys and 1 precious little girl. They were born at 28 weeks and the 2 boys were quite a good size however the girl was considerably smaller. She is definitely a little fighter and they are all at home now. Reading through the posts brought tears to my eyes. Worth a read xx

Awwww netti I read this! They had to decide whether or not to abort pearl as she was impacting on the boys health. What a decision so glad they made the right one! X
