Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

Sorry madkatz I'm totally useless at bleeding points of view. When you say not a tampon full, isn't that perhaps just your light days? Maybe just seen how it is tomorrow as you may be coming off.

lizandlulu when should I test? As I said, I have no clue how long I should wait. I assume nearer when I'm due on perhaps? What is the 2 week wait? Is that 2 weeks after you should have come on? GOD I'M USELESS AT ALL THIS!!! Blush

OK, so any advice on this would be good. I know this might be TMI but interested in all your views. Since starting to bleed on Sunday, its just been ongoing and still happening now. Never a full tampon but not spotting either. My periods are normally 2 days heavy, 1 or 2 days light then stop.

Any ideas? Confused

ohh klou11 think you might be abit ambitious there. just been looking at my calender and it wasnt that long ago was it. wouldnt want you to get your hopes up (or wste any tests!)

MadKatz · 21/10/2010 15:24

lol

KLou111 · 21/10/2010 12:02

yey, you're back :)

Well, thinking of doing a test tomorrow morning.

Haven't got a clue when I'm supposed to, my CD1 was 5th October, my 1st proper AF since off the pill (and in the last 13 years!!)

Don't feel any different to normal, but there is NO WAY that there was no sperm in there when it was supposed to be Grin

MadKatz · 21/10/2010 11:18

I wouldnt worry too much liz, mine were all over the place last cycle. The trick is not to look at individual days but to look at the chart as a whole and see the gradual transition from low to high. I found temping on its own didnt tell me when I was going to ovulate, but with watching my CM and saliva ferning it generally all adds up to those few days in the month

lizandlulu · 21/10/2010 10:15

good nice to know i am not on my ownSmile i remembered to start taking my temperature this morning, have been meaning to do it for a few days and never done it, so this morning i remembered and went to mark it on the chart and the temperature is lower than the ones pre marked on the chart, not quite sure what to do about itConfused

MadKatz · 21/10/2010 08:52

BabsH · 21/10/2010 06:29

MadKatz · 20/10/2010 18:40

Hi all, Back from hols

Firstly though, A BIG FAT CONGRATULATIONS to those with the BFP's! Very Envy but so happy!!

Had a great time, been just catching up with all the news on here since I left.

Well, I didn't have sea sickness, or sadly any 'other' sickness while away, but I had 1st 'proper' AF start on 5th October since withdrawel making my 1st pill-free cycle 35 days.

Was gutted, as I took a test on the Sunday and AF on the Tuesday :(

DH and I are at it like rabbits, at least every other day (sometimes twice in one day to double our chances Wink) sorry if TMI!!

We're both now desperate for it to happen sooner rather than later as it seems EVERYONE we know is either pregnant, or has kids.

Looks like bar the odd one, we're pretty much all still in the same boat, but WE SHALL WIN EVENTUALLY!!

BabsH · 18/10/2010 18:02

Sorry to hear that MadKatz, fingers crossed for next month :)

I keep seeing pregnant chicks all over the place too, sickening!!!

lizandlulu · 18/10/2010 17:20

well keep going, its so disheartening. i was talking to a friend i hadnt seen for a long time who is pregnant and got pregnant by accident. had to stop myself from kicking herGrin

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 15:54

We just have to carry on

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 15:54

its where your fertilised egg doesnt embed and comes out with a late period

lizandlulu · 18/10/2010 15:46

is that where your body thinks it is pregnant but not? can you carry on trying or have you got to wait?

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 12:10

Hi All,

Just come back from the Doctors. She thinks Ive had a chemical pregnancy Sad.
Oh well, at least I know I'm ovulating and we're getting that bit right. Now waiting to try again

MadKatz · 18/10/2010 08:43

Hi Liz

Negative Clearblue on Saturday and was still have cramps all weekend, but started bleeding at 3pm yesterday, although its not been anywhere near as heavy as a normal period and still have cramps this morning. Am going to try and get in to see a doc today just to see what they think and get some general advice.
