aly I am with you 100%. Have just finished period am wrecked and boobs aching. In fact they haven't stopped being sore since first mc in feb. poas opk and negative. There is a website poas.com that tells u why not to use opk as preg test. I was told to take evening primrose for sore boobs (not sure about this when TTC. Requires further investigation oh and cut out sugar. Boooo!!!

Good work saggy

Still hoping for you overanxious

And sending magical staying power your way bunty. Try not to fret too much (ha, like that's likely!).

That is a great story camomile. It just shows that after years of heartache, things can all of a sudden become pretty wonderful overnight. Warms the cockles, it does.

Wet fish coming your way! aly

However did you do a preg test? .....

No idea how opk sticks work re pregnancy ... Xxxx lots of love to you!

Im feeling very low - post drinking wine day- only had 3 glasses but feel very emotional now and I'm certain AF will arrive in next couple days and dh just told me he is away for next 3 weeks!!!! Nooooooooo!!!! May have to seriously consider the identical twin brother scenario again!

Is anyone POAS tomorrow? AF due on Monday / tuesday for me .... Should I wait till following Friday? Or do one tomorrow even though it'll be 4-5 days early? I think I'll wait just in case .... Anyone else? X

alyant79 · 30/05/2013 16:42

can somebody please give me a big fat fish slap?

I know i'm not pg, but my boobs are hurting and i'm feeling very first-trimester-exhausted. Confused BUT I know that it's all in my head because I just had AF and my OPK sticks are coming up negative (they would pick up HCG, wouldn't they and give me a positive if i was pg?).
So, somebody SLAP some sense into me

alyant79 · 30/05/2013 14:14

Angry at over's Dr and rock's AF. rock we can be June BFP buddies. I've given my uterus a stern talking to. This is ttc cycle 3 for me and i remember a few months ago that cycle 3 was the lucky one for lots of ladies. I am determined to be one of them.

and Grin to saggy

nearly it sounds like it might have been ovulation - but i've only just started using the sticks myself so don't really know.

Thanks for the positivity missP. It's nice to hear success stories.

Well done saggy your girls must be great! Xx

Sad rock .... Bfp in June for sure

Thinking of you anxious

GuffSmuggler · 30/05/2013 11:56

Wow saggy I am impressed, I think you and your DH should get an award for commitment to the cause!

Sorry about AF rock Sad

Thinking of you overanxious

BakingBunty · 30/05/2013 10:40

Oh and thinking of you today overanxious, hope you get some clarity at lunchtime.

BakingBunty · 30/05/2013 10:38

Morning all, and great news saggy, the cat that got the cream (SORRY!) Grin

I am going to try to see GP first thing Monday once they re-open and try to get an early scan (you have to get referred to EPU where I live). Keen to get one before I go on hols on 15th, but don't want to go too early.

Good luck penguin and hope this is your month rock.

OneLittleToddleTerror · 30/05/2013 09:56

I mean BBT thermometer.

OneLittleToddleTerror · 30/05/2013 09:55

nearly the ovulation window is very very small. A typical LH surge is only between 12 to 48 hours. This means at most 2 positive OPKs. Monitors like CBFM also measures estrogen, so will give a 'run up' to the LH surge. If you have a BBT monitor, you might notice a sharp rise in your temperature on wake up, about 0.2C. You might notice your EWCM drying up today or tomorrow. This is all good signs your body is working.

nearlyreadytopop · 30/05/2013 09:46

so im confused. its now 12 weeks since erpc and no af. Ive been peeing on ovulation sticks randomly but no lines. I dont really know much about mucus but after hanging out here for the past few weeks I have learned its a good thingSmile . so yesterday I thought it was different and the pee stick had quite definite lines. But I tested again this morning and no lines. so I'm wondering is the ovulation 'window' that small or was it a false positve on the stick?

Emki · 30/05/2013 08:47

I mean Smile !!!!! X

Emki · 30/05/2013 08:46

Me too [smike]

Floweroct · 30/05/2013 07:45

For so many reasons this thread has put a smile on my face this morning :)

alicebear · 30/05/2013 07:07

Sorry rock rubbish but hope June will bring BFP for you.
Yay saggy well done the girls!

missp that is nice news & helps keep up the posifrickintivity.

bunty not been there as still awaiting BFP post MMC but can imagine it's completely normal to be anxious over every little twinge & desperate to get to a scan date for some reassurance. Just take it a day at a time I guess. Are you having an early scan?

penguin good luck tomorrow hope it's just a cyst.

Anyone poas tomorrow?

OneLittleToddleTerror · 30/05/2013 07:05

missp thanks so much for sharing the good news. It really lifts my mood this morning.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 30/05/2013 06:41

Well, that's the deed done! We had EWCM and lying there with my legs crossed after, I'm sure I had the old ovulation pain! So I'm full of posifrickintivity today! First time for ages! Grin

Rockchick1984 · 30/05/2013 00:11

Well, I'm out this month but WILL get my BFP in June - I've decided so hopefully my uterus will comply Grin

It's my own fault, hardly DTD this month, however cycle was exactly 27 days which is what pre-mc cycle was so hoping it is all back to normal. Will be using OPK'S and conceive plus this month I think...

MissP that's lovely news - always good to hear of success stories :)

Yay for the girls working their magic Saggy!

Bakingbunty where I live you can self-refer to the midwife, phone no is on hospital website, why not see if you can do that?

Misspositivity · 29/05/2013 22:32

. It's like a good therapy session following the chit chat.

The good news today is my cousin is 12 weeks pregnant after 3 consecutive miscarriages. She is so brave and si proud though I know she is finding it hard to enjoy.

My old uni friend gave birth today following many miscarriages and pcos. What a result

Makes me feel positive.
