CD 1 today and my last cycle was 34 days which means I'm due to test 6th April.

Anyone fancy joining me?

walnut I'm only holding out because I tested 3 times last month and all were negative plus my cycles aren't 100% regular (range from 27-34 days!) and I'm not 100% when I ovulated. I got my smiley last Sunday (18th March) so not sure how many DPO I am?

Thanks, can't quite believe it's real. Getting nervous that perhaps I imagined it. With last DC I didnt test positive until the day after AF due. Will have to do another one tomorrow. And Saturday... have three spare first responses tucked away! I worked out I am only 5 days early, not 6 ... I think. AF due Tuesday.

I hope it's good news for everyone testing tomorrow.

Hai,like everyone is saying, sometimes you do everything right and it just doesn't happen and sometimes vice versa!

winkle fingers xd for next friday, i can't believe you are so patient.

RIBS, all sounds promising esp the VERY positive ov test!

Winkly .... you are due today and you still haven't tested?? I'm in awe ....

Mini bummer about the timing ... you could always try early?

winkle2 · 29/03/2012 12:36

walnut fab news!!!! Makes me want to test!

Congratulations!

Winkly sounds promising, roll on Saturday morning? I hope you get your BFP.

morecoffee Your cycle sounds like mine lat year b4 my MMC. Average cycles were 40-55 days with no idea when id ov'd. Last period was just over 2 months long and had 2 random bleeds - not periods, they were light and about 3 days long and were lighter after sex. I started charting and ov sticking and got BFP. But im on the Clomid now as at least you've got more of an idea when you'l ovulate, or in which friggin month!!! Get to Dr's and ask for referral to gynae to get clomid'd up!!

zonat One more day to go........ Fingers crossed. Grin

Il have to change my testing date as DEFO ov'd on Tues. So now on the 2 ww. I think im gonna test a week on Sunday (easter sunday) Its a year since we got our puppy then so its a good day I reckon. Ive got a good feeling about this month - We dtd Sunday, Mon, Tues, Weds and last night for good measure. So there were little swimmers there b4 the VERY positive OV test.

The only thing that concerns me is that my temp hasnt shot up after oving? It dropped before positive ov test then has gradually increased but not as high as id normally expect. God dam lady bits, why dont they work like they're supposed to.

Hai1988 · 29/03/2012 11:33

Congratations walnut :)

Walnut8 · 29/03/2012 10:36

So I was a bit cheeky and tested super early (still 6 days before AF due) .... and there are two definite lines there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feeling ridiculously happy.

Winkly · 29/03/2012 09:32

minieggs at least by the 10th you'll have something worth testing for.

I'm due my period today, no sign as yet but I was a bit late last month too so not getting my hopes up. If there's no sign on Saturday morning I'll test then because I'm supposed to be snow boarding in the afternoon.

zonat92 · 29/03/2012 09:22

Good luck ladies :o Hoping BFP's all round, You all deserve it so much!!
:)

iloveminieggs · 29/03/2012 09:13

Fingers crossed winkle. Zonat that really does sound promising.
I'm not sure when to test or if my AF is due 8th. But I am away with work from 3rd then staying with friends over Easter while DH is at home (can't get off work) so I'm not at home til 10th. So I'm sure I'll know as either AF will be there or not. Just wish I wasn't going to be away from DH as he won't let me test without him and it will be too early to test on 3rd. Sorry I'm rambling on

winkle2 · 29/03/2012 08:13

Zonat they all sound very promising!

Fingers crossed for you Hai - like zonat says, sometimes you get preg the months you least expect it and when all the odds are against you!

I've convinced hubby to let me test next Friday! Yaay! That will be day 35 and my longest cycle has been 34 days so I'll be officially late. Please please please let me be pregnant!!

zonat92 · 28/03/2012 19:04

Backward- My lovely clearblue digital will be the judge friday ;) haha!

Hai1988- your so right, atm these symptoms arnt imaginary but could very well be AF. i think if i new others i would convince myself of them, & you just never no, i bet u get BFP when your least expecting :o! lots of baby dust!!

Hai1988 · 28/03/2012 18:54

they all sound like good signs to me zonat Its best not to no about all the symptoms as you will convince your self there they when not, had all sorts of symptoms last cycle but when took a test and it came back bfn they all disapeard

The mind can play horrible tricks Sad

Just a quick update from me, think i ovulated on on thursday which was cd15, think this as had lots of ewcm and was the date marked on my Ptracker.
ewcm lasted about 3-4 days trouble is didnt dtd b4 ovulation and while i had ewcm i also had severe migrains Sad

So i think there is no chance of april bfp Sad
Hears hoping I got my dates wrong and ovulated earlier

backwardpossom · 28/03/2012 18:48

I reckon you're pregnant, zonat. Wink

zonat92 · 28/03/2012 18:30

Could anyone please tell me what symptoms where spotting Blush I only ever thought throwing up and being tired was symptoms! oh im so un educated in this!! haha. im about 12DPO, what can i look out for?
Ive had extreme hunger, getting tired around 8oclock, usualy a night owl, yesterday had tugging pains in right side, was convinced Af was arriving early. But nothing their, and pain had dissapeared today! Alot of discharge :/ felt a teeny gush ( as u would on AF) so ran the loo and was white discharge!

Ino im mad, and hunger and tirdness is probably due to AF in 6days, and change in discharge could mean infection :).. Is their hope though :o ??
hahaha.

backwardpossom · 28/03/2012 17:55

Boobs like rocks. On CD21. Eek! must stop symptom spotting

Cookiesandcream06 · 28/03/2012 15:10

Yey icats get to it!! Sorry for tmi but I've
had extra CM today.. It's not dry at all, I thought during the LP is was supposed to dry up? Also had some results back and although cyst is still there there is still 'follicular activity ' in both ovaries Grin
Oh coffee you poor thing.. I would get your bum to the docs again.. Maybe try and see someone else.. I have more sympathetic and less sympathetic drs at my surgery!! Don't give up hope though

Iheartcats87 · 28/03/2012 12:11

EWCM alert! Yay will be swi tonight! :)

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 28/03/2012 11:13

Thanks winkly off to Dr Google for more info ............... :)

Winkly · 28/03/2012 10:56

morecoffee I believe Clomid stimulates ovulation and is often the first port of call in these circumstances.

morecoffeepleaseholdthecake · 28/03/2012 10:53

iheartcats I'm in the same boat as you, I have long unpredictable cycles. I'm testing on 11th, not because AF is due then but because its about 6 weeks since last AF started so should be long enough. I hate hate hate the unpredictable ness if it all.

Well I'm still bleeding :( sorry tmi I know. It's been going on since Saturday. Heavy at times, but we have had some moments where it has stopped so got some swi in last night and Monday night Grin I am wondering if its ovulation though? I'm also thinking maybe I just had a really short cycle and its AF? That would've that cycle 19days! Hmm the cycle before was 56days! Or maybe it not AF and just some random inconvenient bleeding! Arrrrrrrggggghhhhh! Last time I saw gp about it, she said that this just happens to some people :(

So anyway.a question for all you knowledgeable ladies. Is there some sort of 'treatment' the fertility clinic may offer me to regulate my cycle/stimulate ovulation at regular times to help us conceive?

Sorry for the long post!

zonat92 · 28/03/2012 10:15

Iloveminieggs- i too think 25% sounds tiny :(.
& the stress probably isnt doing us good haha, I didn't have all this stress with ds, i was ttc but wasn't a poas freak haha! think i concieved him on cycle4, Now im on cycle 4 this time so maybe my lucky 1 haha :).
Would deffinatly reccomend waiting till AF day saves any stress or upset, even if u get BFP early theirs always chance of cp.. Hmm should take my own advice:o hah
