TTC a 2012 baby, this is our year !!!

Hi everyone. Sorry to hear about the unwanted visits from AF. Really hope we get some BFPs soon!

Carlita hope you and DH (eek! ) have an amazing time and congratulations!

I'm on boring old CD9 so bugger all to report from me. Though have just realised that I've somehow got the wrong date for when AF is next due so I'll correct that now. Feeling a lot more level headed this cycle, although I'm reserving the right to go stark raving bonkers come the 2ww!

Good luck ladies!

Hi there, AF got me on Saturday so I'm now on the 2012 bus. TTC #2, cycles 27-32 days. Starting with the CBFM this month as the strip test never seem to work for me - just watching the pennies fall out of my purse!

Congrats i am getting married in June hope i have a bfp when u return x

Hi everyone! Just a little farewell message as my wedding is fast approaching (Friday) and off to Thailand for honeymoon on Saturday for three weeks so won't be around for a while. I hope to come back to lots and lots of BFPs on the thread! Can't wait to start TTC on Friday! Will let you all know when I'm back. Happy shagging!

CD 16 Getting alot of hot flushes 2nite

treaclechops, I've come to exactly the same decision. Ttc is driving me mad so next month we're not bothering with any of the charts/ monitors etc etc. See if anything happens...
Good luck x

Hello :). Been away and wow theres lots of posts to catch up on. I POAS this morning and was negative AF still hasnt arrived but hey. No doubt will be peeing on another stick shortly unless AF arrives soon

Hi everyone, mind if I gatecrash your bus? Have been lurking for a while, but only had my coil removed on Wednesday, so I guess I am right at the start... Have no idea where I am in my cycle as haven't had AF for about 5 years since I had my coil.... Here goes I guess...

Hiya girlies....

Sorry i've been away from the forums for a while..... been really really busy and i had a bit of a break down over TTCing, it's just too much for me and i started getting so stressed out!!!

both myself and my DP have decided to stop with all the counting and the charting and the reading every little sign because it was stressing me out too much on top of everything else thats going on in our lives at the moment!!! so instead we're just SWI and not thinking about it as much so it means that we don't feel like we've failed.

To add to the orignial pressure, i dont have regular cycles and i'm on CD 35 and still 0 show of anything argh!!

Afternoon everyone, hope your all ok?

Hope your feeling slightly better poppyjen, this whole process can be so so stressful, i actually have my ds and dd and never had much problem or even thought about it much, this time i feel very stressed already and its only the beginning not sure why this is this time round maybe putting more pressure on ourselves.

Dp actually brought some ovulation things yesterday, have never used them before and dont undrestand them much

Still no af here, don't know what is going on just a waiting game

Can't wait to actually have a af and start from the beginning as at the moment i dont know where i am in my cycle or what is going on which i think is causeing all my no patience and stressyness

Well acupuncture seems to have really messed with me. I've been using OPKs for 4 months now and each cycle I have had a one day positive followed by ov pain (followed by, for the months I have been temping, a temp rise). I have had two acupuncture sessions and have just had a three day LH surge, a few twinges but no sustained ov pain like I usually get and no temp rise yet. :( Iam now on CD19 and am not sure what is happening.

I have another appointment tomorrow so perhaps I will be able to find out then what is going on.

Morning poppy sorry to hear you are having a down day, don't worry - here is the place to say all those things you can't / don't say !! Hope things start happening soon xxx

Morning ladies, just a quick update from me - CD23 and according to Fertility Friend no ovulation yet

Looks like I am in for another mammoth cycle - last month was 56 days, goodness knows what this cycle will be. Really pleased I started charting though as at least I will be able to tell if there's any ovulation action at all. Due back to see specialist if nothing's happened for us after 6 months (because I already know I have PCOS) - we are now just about to start month 4....

Sorry for being so down, I feel incredibly low at the moment, kind of like I am a bit of a failure for not even ovulating. It happened for us so quickly for DS (1st cycle post pill) that it makes this horrible limbo even worse

Sorry for me me me post. Hope everyone else out there had a lovely Easter weekend

AF finally got me properly late last night, so have updated my place/details on the stats:

We have quite a few people from the top of the list with AF due dates in the past now - any updates from you folks? We must be due another BFP for the list soon, surely!

Something like Evil Red Tide of Doom?!? Not sure exactly but think it is another AF meaning.

Going to try to sleep now - will see what tomorrow brings :)
Sleep well all x

that does ERTD stand for? wracking my brain for the right four words!

Aunt flo / period :)

Err, what does AF stand for? I cant find it on the list of acronyms...

Just a quick update before heading out into the sunshine! Spotting only lasted a couple of hours yesterday then stopped. Since then (warning-TMI!!) I've had a few smallish rust-red fibrousy bits in with my CM, but no fresh blood and certainly no full on AF just yet! Am still getting intermittent strong periody cramps and aching, and my temp has plummetted to 0.2 below the coverline, so it seems highly unlikely that i'm pregnant. Not to mention the fact that implantation bleeds are usually no later than 10-12DPO (or so my internet research suggests) and I'm currently 14DPO. At this point I reckon my body is just having a big old laugh at my expense!!

Still, at least DP is home so I have someone to share my frustration and confusion at my body with! (Think it's actually doing his head in worse than mine!)

Re tests - I read online that you should ideally wait 10-14 days post ov before testing, to allow time for implantation / HCG to build up. I used a superdrug own brand cheapy with says it can be used up to 4 days before AF. Of course it came back negative and I'd be lying if I said my internal branded goods snob wasn't crowing that if i'd bought a nice boots one, or a clearblue one then I would have had a different result perhaps!

Am planning on waiting at least a couple of days before braving a repeat test. DP is back to work Tuesday - Thursday before our 2nd long bank holiday, so ideally I want to wait till Friday so he can be here / with me for the day. Whether I have the patience to wait that long is another matter however...

Welcome utterly Monkey - been trying for roughly the same amount of time as you - good luck!

Heya Morning Coffee - I don't know how soon after the deed you can test. I usually count back from when my AF is due and try not to test any earlier than 6 days before as those are the most sensitive tests I have found (First Response)

Good luck to all x

Thanks dreamingofabump, i know i must wait but the waiting game is soooooo boring will update soon.

i think its recommended to wait 18days after swi to get a decent preg test result if u dont know your cycle

{hugs1} to you Shobbs, don't blame yourself unfortunatly it does happen, even though this does not make it any easier, be kind to yourself and take care.

Hello Ladies,
Still here, still no af have done a test but i know it is far to early and it was only a cheap tesco one, it was a negative though (which i knew but could not help myself) does anyone know how long after doing the deed you have to wait to do a test? I am so inpatient (not a good thing) hope everyone has had a lovely easter
