Any other newbies out there???

sittingpretty the fact your sisters didn't get bfps until 6 weeks combined with feeling yuck and your missing period makes it sound a lot more likely you are pregnant than ovulating. Fingers and toes crossed for you tomorrow!

We did dtd both days of the high, it went back to low today. The spotting is darker than normal af red so that's a good point, thanks! I know that even if I am pregnant, it is too early to show up just now as dh only got back from a four month deployment about two weeks ago. Last af was on 26 Sept, I have no idea when next one is due as they have been all over the place since I came off the pill for months ago. I'm hoping this is ovulation spotting. I'm going to give it two weeks and if af doesn't turn up by then, poas. Easier said than done to wait :-)! Your drs advice is good, I just wish it was quicker! It's made me realise it must be so hard to ttc for months/years on end, I admire people who keep at that so positively!

Fingers crossed for you tomorrow :-)!

juhibaker welcome to the club we are all obsessed planning here :)

barmybunting I will let you know tomorrow :)
Did you dtd when you got high result? Cos it could be implantation bleeding? Although I read somewhere this can be anywhere from 3 - 12 days after ovulation - guess it just depends how fast your egg travels.
Or sometimes you can spot around ovulation.
When was your last AF? If the spotting is dark it means its old blood and def not AF (my doc said that to me - he just told me to wait it out, either i'll get AF or be pg - supportive but not that helpful!)
Have you done a pg test?

Well I'm totally confused now! I'm using the clearblue fertility monitor as a friend passed hers onto me. This is my first month of using it. I had low reading until Friday which was cd22, then a high yesterday and Friday plus ewcm. Today I am back to low and have noticed red spotting. Goodness only knows what is happening! I also had random spotting for two days last weekend that I initially thought was af but turned out not to be.

I was hopeful I was entering my first tww today, but have no idea what the bleeding means!

Hi juhibaker! Nice to have you around. Fingers crossed for dc2 for you! How old is your first little one?

sittingpretty good luck for tomorrow!! Fingers crossed for you. You certainly sound like you have a lot of possible symptoms. Let us know how you get on!

Hi all, can I join this group please? I'm 32 yrs old and my husband and I going to try for baby number 2 this month. I'm scared and need some support pls. I know I'm obsessing and buying OPKs and all sorts. Love J xx

msbsleepyhead sperm can live for 72 hours, so even if you don't get it smack on, still a chance - all it takes is one!!

I've decided tomorrow is POAS day. FC :)

thank you sittingpretty25. we haven't been TTC for long, and every time it's been the "right" time we've been struck down by bad health that has hampered efforts some what! I'm just impatient... : ) now we've decided and both are keen for it to happen, it's frustrating waiting and waiting... but I have to get used to that, I guess! thanks for your message of support though, and good luck to you! things sound cautiously positive!

barmybunting not been temping no, but I know for a fact my internal temperature is up - as I'm really warm all the time (this is someone who wraps up in summer!) Still feeling really sicky today, certain smells - today I nearly barfed / went all light headed at a plate of biscuits (however later on I ate one) and coffee. yuck - also im totally off alcohol which is nothing like me.

I'm wondering if maybe I'm ovulating as if AF had come on time (which it didnt) it would be now ... then again, if I am pg I would be 6 weeks today, which is when my sisters have only just got their BFP on three of their pregnancies ... SO SCARED TO TEST though as I know I'm going to be gutted if not - particularly feeling so blergh!!

mrsbsleepyhead how long have you being TTC? We were getting a little bit like that - but I googled conception positions (I know they mainly a myth) but they added a bit of fun and variety :) I also just keep reminding myself why I want to have a baby with my DH - just kinda reminds you how much you love your man with helps with the drive...plus my sis said enjoy it while you can as afterwards you wont want him anywhere you near!!

I'm disliking this process more than I thought I would. I feel a bit like sex is pointless unless I can conceive, which I don't think I would right now, and I'm frustrated by the wait until we can try again : ( waiting for AF to start and at the same time disappointed because my husband has been scheduled for an operation that will knock out next month's trying time, if AF comes on time. Trying is so much more complicated than I thought! Suddenly I see why having a baby is not so easy. Astonishing, then, that one of the kids I teach has just revealed she's 11 weeks pregnant : (

I'm also in no man's land - CD 64!

sittingpretty have you been temping at all? If you have, do you know how many days of higher temp have you had since you oved? I think if you have over 18 or so, it is meant to be a strong sign of pregnancy?

Still waiting in no man's land - no AF, BFN last test which was Sunday.

GP say's its normal when you come off the pill.

Lots of EWCM today - but I never used to get it this bad - almost like AF started but hasn't ... bad nausea today, and my overall temperature has rocketed - I'm normally the freezing one but I've had to open windows and sit in a vest top as been too hot all day! Plus, I've had a really fluttery tummy - particularly when I lay down on my back (can't lie on my front as tummy too sore) - has one else experienced these at from coming off the pill?? Why does the symptoms have to be so like preg ones!!!!

What would you guys do? Do I keep testing (bearing in mind every BFN is a little soul destroying)? HELP!! :/

Hoping I may actually have a chance this month after all now. I though AF was on the way last weekend after vague spotting, but it stopped overnight and ewcm has now appeared, and I've had 2 days of positive opks so who knows!

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for a few people. Hopefully that will be the start of a more regular cycle for those of you!

Sorry to hear bfn becauseisaidso. Fingers crossed for next time.

The juices sound interesting.... Might give them a try. I have a juicer attachment thing for my foodprocessor. Is that likely to work or would I need a masticating one? Would prefer to use what I've got if possible as it'll save dh moaning that it's another fad.

Hi MrsCM8,

Here are my favourite combinations:

• Beetroot, orange and ginger
• Spinach, apple and ginger
• Kale, cucumber and apple
• Carrot, apple and ginger

Almost all of them have ginger because I get tons of it in the veggie box but it also helps get the sting of bitter ones like kale or beetroot.

BFN for me this morning and bad AF symptomos

I've been lurking for the past few days as things have been really hectic. Seems like good advice re juices and things - do you put the green veg in the juice? Does it taste nice or is it just something that has to be done?

I've been symptom spotting like mad - feeling really queasy (which is really unlike me as am almost never physically sick). Odd things have been making me feel sick too - I saw an empty bottle of milk on the side for washing up and was nearly sick at the site of it. Had to wash it up immediately with my eyes closed . Did a test and predictably negative. So either psychosomatic or come down from implant. But had that out a month ago so not sure if it's that.

How's everyone else? Surely there must be a bfp out there soon.....

Butttterfly I feel your pain - I'm CD41 ...

CD36 here (usually 28-30 days) and none the wiser :/

DearDinah Tinaw sorry to hear this guys :( EVIL AF - but on the plus side at least you know where your cycle is!!

I hope one of us is lucky soon! The odds surely must be in our favour right??? Has ANYONE on this thread got their BFP??

BecauseIsaidso Hi! I too am addicted to juicers! hehe - only I just hate cleaning the pulp out! Not sure how on earth I'm going to cope with poopy nappies, sick and snot! lol

(Breakingbadaddict here, changed my NN now BB is sob all over!)

sittingpretty25 thank you for the advice, currently looking up recipes for kale and spring greens etc, will look at Jamie's recipes too... I will master the art of cooking! My DH is a big meat eater, we eat separate meals as he's on some sort of horrid cave man diet so I just find it boring to make food just for me!
Good luck at the docs, it really does make you wonder what's going on inside the longer it takes doesn't it?
BecauseIsaidso thanks for the tip re. juicing, how odd I was just looking at juicers online this morning as I was craving carrot juice!
I'm sorry you have been at this so long, it sounds like you're literally doing everything right though! Wishing you lots of luck and hoping this month is THE month for us all
Tinaw Sorry to hear AF arrived, mine did too eventually (46 days) I think we gave up trying to DTD too soon. Hey ho, onwards and upwards, keep going ladies, this WILL happen for us!

breakingbadaddict, I agree with poster sittingpretty25 on the green leafy veggies and the pulses. Also, I bought myself a super duper masticating juicer (Matstone if anyone is interested) and I'm taking at least two juices a day from an organic veg box to try to get good quality vitamins in me.

Hi everyone!

I'm 39 (40 in December eek!), met the love of my life in 2010 and we just got married in July . Have been ttc since with no luck. I'm going to an acupuncturist and a herbalist to try to help the process, and I've gone part time at work with the stress levels. Currently at 13dpo but have been spotting for a couple of days, so pretty sure AF is coming.
