How long have you been trying now onelife? You might want to tell a white lie if its under 12 months. I was naughty and used up half a days holiday and went home!! I defo have that friday feeling! !

TGIF!!!

Monitor fine, picks up peaks so I like that reassurance, but clearly not working as i'm still waiting! Glad I got it though, epec if we're in for the long run as like I say it has reassured me that I seem to ov CD 12 or 13 and I like checking that that is the case. Paying a little trip to the Dr later, had big chat with dh on our new year walk and we're going to see what they say. Bit nervous, so ridiculous!

Hope you ladies are well, woohoooooooo for the weekend!

I do love a visit to London but the tube can be a right stressful experience!!

I wonder how broody is doing?!

How is the pregnancy forum? I occasionally have a gander and it seems like a lot of worrying!!

Clearblue are so expensive. I looked at getting a clear blue fertility monitor but remember that was so expensive plus the price of sticks on top.

Great you're getting those ovaries Sussed out one and saving on the sticks! How is that super duper FM of yours going?

I got barged out the way by an old fat guy getting on the tube just now, he actually moved me sideways so he could get on first and get the last seat!!........and I'm wearing my badge. A lovely lady on the train offered me her seat though, so now I am sat opposite him staring him out on my journey to work.....some people! Tsk

I would defo prefer to use clearblue but id be stupid too because they might not even work for me!! Is it weekend yet?? Had enough of work now!!

Least you wont be bankrupt with those Wood, feel like I've sold my soul to Clearblue! Supposed to use 10 sticks per month with my monitor but have cut that down to five as sussing me old ovaries out!!!

Yes it is like the good old days isn't it :)

I have used clearblue and cheap ones before sometimes they work and sometimes the PCOS gives false readings so its a bit trial and error really!

Yep me too, good work on the ov sticks wood let us know how you get on with them. Have you used them before?

Im enjoying our chat it's like the good old days haha!! Ive bought some really cheap ov sticks off amazon. They might not work but its only wasted 2 quid if they dont!

Yep SMEP sounds like hard work ladies, lots of fun though, and very good for you exercise wise I'm sure - go for it!! Ha ha one that made me laugh about your DH.

you're right they say most can feel by 20 weeks with first but some as early as 16. I'll be 18 weeks on Friday so guess I just need to wait and see. I've never noticed my tummy feel like this before so I think it might be but it's so gentle and light I just don't know.

Tell me about it, it's exhausting! And we're only just starting! Poor dh was barely home from work before I made him strip!! Ha ha! Is it bad that i'm looking forward to our day off tmrw? :)

Good to hear Yo re doing well V and getting a little bump :) Think with your first most people start getting things around 20wks so what you're feeling prob is your bean, eeeee But sure you'll know for def soon. Make sure to tell us so!

its so exciting Vicky! when should you expect to properly feel it?

thanks ladies, think I might give the smep a go too onelife. im kackered just thinking about it

In that case hoping cycle 5 is a lucky one for you wood :)

Hey one glad to hear you've got to the fun 'action' part of things.......ha ha sorry, couldn't think how are to word that! Good luck with SMEP.

I'm good thanks, really tired but otherwise good. I have a bump, which is quite possibly just excessive amounts of chocolate and biscuits!! I don't know if I've felt movement yet, have felt some flutterings in there, like a little tapping sensation but I don't know if it's bean or just tummy workings!

Oops, silly phone!

Meant to say how are you feeling V? Any symptoms? Have you felt your big bean move yet? shouldn't be long if not!

P

Liking your thinking Wood!
Sorry af arrived but as V says least it took a tricky decision out of your hands and it's onwards&upwards! Hoping for you a lot.
Im cd7/8 today so dh is going to have a nice surprise later, going to give SMEP another bashing so to speak

Got to think of the positives! I don't need the clomid so no headaches!! Always nice!! Doc said to look at it as cycle 5 because of how many AFs ive had and its normal to get bfp within 12 so almost half way!

Ah wood sorry to hear that, but at least you know you have the mess again this month and that will make this cycle more predictable, and hopefully successful! Very best of luck with it this month, hope it's lucky cycle 16 for you.

You're right though, that was a tricky dilemma to have so at least you are no longer in limbo and can crack on with things ;)

Af is here! The dilemma of when to take meds has gone which im pleased about! best of a bad situation I suppose! Roll on cycle 16!

Doc was sure I would have one so im not sure when to start the meds. Its a tricky one!

Ah wood I'm sorry you got a BFN, but it is a good sign that AF hasn't shown up. Could still be too early. If you first meds are to bring on AF I think it's good to wait a good few days before starting so Friday / Saturday maybe as you say. That way you can double check if anything has happened this month before taking meds

The first lot I have are to bring on a period then I start on clomid for ovulation I was thinking about waiting till Friday if no AF by then, its prob unlikely?

Sorry for BFN Wood, hope af stays away. Are your meds for the next cycle?

Thanks both for your msgs, sorry to hide away but as you say Wood sometimes it helps :)

No AF and BFN This morning. Its possible that im going to need to start my meds again but not sure when I should

I've just bought 2 tests so naturally AF is going to show up any time now! Thats how sods law works isnt it?!
