Trying to conceive thread Number 2

Mum2Ela - I'll let you know how it goes! As I said b4, I had a slight show last night which should of been the start of my AF, but it has gone!! So I was hoping to put it to good use! Good luck to you too!

AF = Aunt Flo = PERIOD! Don't worry, I only picked up on it recently! There should be a list of what means what somewhere on this bpard I think!!

dont mean to appear stupid but what does AF mean?

BeckiF - had a look at the website. The saliva tester looks cool - but then I'm a sucker for gadgets and gizmo's (and generally spending money!). Told DH about it and have decided that if this month is not our month, will get it for next month and start charting etc.

Let me know how you get on with it!

Good luck!

Mum2Ela - it was only £25! I got it from www.accessdiagnostics.co.uk (hope I don't get told off for putting this info up, I'm not advertising!) I brought it along with a whole tub of pg tests. They say it's very reliable, but then they would I guess!

My AF who put in a slight show yesterday has disappeared! Wish she'd make her mind up!

BeckieF - that ov predictor thingamy sounds really good. I spent £40 last month on OV kits and they didn't pick up when I ov'd. Could you tell me a bit more about the 'device' you have bought, how much it was etc.?

Thanks.

BeckiF & futurity

I feel AF on its way - and tiny show last night. I want it to start today and then get pg this month, as that means my pregnancy dates will start from ds' first birthday, which has a kind of good sound to it!

Ah HA! AF snuck up on me and showed up at bed time! Means that if I did v then it would of been from Christmas Eve onward. Just the time when mum in law comes to stay and I don't want to get fruity cos of the noise! LOL! In fact, when I look back at my cycles last year, at every fertile time there has been a problem; illness, being apart etc. Sods law I guess! I will certainly be putting my little ovulation preditctor telescope to good use over the next weeks!!! DP will be delighted!!

I'm currently on day 92 of my cycle! Good ol' PCOS! Did a PG test last week which was neg. I've now brought an ovulation detector; it is like a mini microscope that you lick! Well I'll try everything! If you are fertile then the sample looks like a fern pattern through the eye piece and if you aren't it is just random dots ... so far just dots! Supposed to be very accurate and a damned sight cheaper that the ov tests that you can get, and with my length of cycle, it is just the thing!

Ah well, the days keep ticking by!

My AF turned up today which I was expecting due to all the cramps down below. I think this means as well that my cycle is back to what it was pre-DS of 29 days..fingers crossed it says that way. DH is almost well again so 2 weeks today we will be having a very busy weekend!!

Kittie: Ovulating is meant to be 14 days before the next period starts. So if you have 28 day cycle then you ovulate on day 14...if your cycle is 29 days then it would be day 15 and so on (I think that is right?).

AF arrived this morning! 2 days late got my hopes up a bit. was disappointed. The pain has been really strong all day, my legs feel so heavy!!. Has anymore got any advice to help me get through the first day, which is always so heavy and painful. Glad I didn't do a test was going to do one today.. I'm a bit slow when it comes down to working out when I ovulate. What date would it be? AF lasts for 4- 5 days no long. Anyone else feeling low because of AF arriving?.

HI everyone!

AF arrived Wednesday, which means would have ov'd around xmas day but the opk's did not pick up on this - did I not Ov? Will never no.

Anyway, to celebrate NOt being pg, am going out tonight and am going to do lots of naughty things that you can't do whilst pg

Next month am going to shag DH senseless - literally! Will demand it every day! That should get things moving

Good luck to all! Everyone have a fab weekend!

AF has arrived a day early and I have greeted her with all the joy and respect she deserves

I'm on day 1 of the 5 days when period may turn up but it is more likely to be Monday. Feeling sick already though which is a sign it is on its way

I'm on day 2 of the 10 days in which AF might show up. Can't work out whether I want it to come quickly so that I can drink and be merry at ds' 1st birthday party on Saturday, or whether I want it wo be as late as possible so that I can enjoy my own (30th) birthday to the full at the end of the month!

Congrats to all who have made it. I did not this month becoz of nothing else apart from no sex. (dh low libido) So i am really thinking of buying the ov kits and doing it that way although really confused on the eggwhite thing i'm like that all the way till my next period???

WOW I've been offline for a few days, and when I got back, loads of people are pregnant!! Huge conratulations everyone, what a wonderful way to start the year.

AF is due on Saturday, but I've been feeling really sick for the last week, and couldn't decide if it was ridiculously early symptoms, or just a tummy bug, so I did a test but it was negative, but then again AF isn't due til Saturday, so who knows. (isn't that the same day as you moomin?)

Hello everyone, I haven't been online for a while, and look SO many people got pregnant! It's fantastic, congratulations everyone, what a great start to the year.

Tempting...but I will wait! I have promised myself that I will not buy any more tests until next Tuesday which will be day 32 of my cycle..my cycle is about 31 days (not too sure as only came off pill in early November.) If I am going to get AF symptoms they tend to appear from day 28 which is tomorrow so we shall see what the weekend brings!

Goodluck Bluestar.... and everyone else!

Futurity - I got a positive (4 to be precise)with Boots own 6 days, then 5 days, then 4 days before my AF is due (I kept testing coz I didn't believe it). It does state that it doesn't work until day AF is due.... I must've been produding HCG nice and early. Why don't you try a Boots one. Only £8.99 for 2....

Congratulations to those with recent positives. I'm coming up for ov time and have decided to stop temp testing and just use ov tests and the dates when I should be fertile (which is how I got pg last time). Trying not to stress too much about it this month and occupy myself with other thoughts (not easy). Good luck to all, let's hope we can get some more positives soon on this board.

I have a gf who when alreadhy having had one sone would complain and sob that she'd been trying 3 whole months to conceive a 2nd baby! (how little she knows!) On a weekend visit to me we discussed her cycles and found out she'd been doing the deed too early in her cycle! She left my house Sunday night, the most fertile day of her cycle (as suggested by me!), had the big reunion with her hubby and yes, you've guessed it ... GOT PREGNANT! Now I can help OTHERS get pregnant and STILL can't get MYSELF pregnant! How funny is THAT?

I did a pregnancy test today..even though AF not due until the weekend! It was negitive. I then read up and found out that they don't work (Tescos own brand) until day of period due. OOPS! Waste of test! I just fancied peeing on that stick just to see what happened!!!
