Hoping for a positive in October!

hello, i think i'd like to join in too if no-one minds? first month of ttc and don't think it has worked. am overanalysing the whole thing and only different symptoms i have are a few extra spots, excess (understatement!) wind and some lower abdomen cramps like i am coming on, i used to get this when i was pregnant with ds when i over did it, but most probably all in the mind.

last time i had the metallic taste and a big aversion to coffee which i don't have now. i am due on sun/mon, did a test yesterday (i know i know) and of course it was negative! i know when af arrives i am going to be gutted, so may need some support then.

i wanted to ask if it is possible to ovulate early in a usual 28 -30 day cycle? i have signs of ovulation around day 10 usually, but af does not arrive untill at least day 28. i read somewhere that af always arrives exactly 14 days after ov?

i already have one ds aged 23 months and would love not too big an age gap! please excuse lazy typing, i have a broken hand in plaster atm so this is a one handed attempt!! good luck to everyone about to test and sorry to all those who have to wait for next month.

babymad, really sorry that af has arrived.

Devastated! AF come an hour ago! Off to pos November! I wish you all the luck in the world!

Congratulations RubyRoo!!
Thanks for the website rachelrose i'll have a look. AF still a bit today so hoping for full flow tomorrow so that will be CD1.
A lovely friend at work told me she is expecting today, so pleased for her and a bit , hoping it's me in the future

hi all. posted a message last week about getting a very very faint positive that i wasn't sure about. well tested again with various tests and got a bfp on clearblue but none of the others. very confused am i just testing too early for the other tests to work? af was due 6 days ago

Oh Desperate!! It only takes 21 days to make or break a habit you!

Thank you for sharing Rubyroo - I was worried that the post BD headstand was going to make a re-appearance (I haven't been doing that - yet!! )

Hello RachelRose and Cutiebabies! Let's hope the old bag stays at bay and does not pitch up at all

Sorry AF turned up BBWBabeLisa

dd1 - sorry to hear you are down,i hope when you come back and join us again that you are feeling refreshed and its with good news!

rubyroo - congratuklations on your bfp!!

hello to everyone else too!

well nothing to report from me...have given up temping i just cannot remember to do it and also i wake up a lot later at weekends so it just wouldnt be accurate enough.might try again in desperation next month.

gallons of babydust to all who is testing/expecting a/f this week....

thank you everyone for the congrats!! i am keeping everything crossed for you testing this week but don't lose hope until af arrives cause it took me 4 tests and til 16dpo t get bfp!

rachelrose i was told before dd by a consultant at my local hospital that i'd had premature menopause (i was 32 at time) and would never have a natural child because i hadn't had a period for 1yr 6months i then immediately got pregnant with dd

when it started to happen again (now 35) i was too depressed to see gp at first then eventually i did and she sent me for progesterone test. i don't really know whats up with my ovaries as they've never been scanned. i've always only had light af for a couple of days. i've only half a thyroid left so that could be it i suppose? anyway i hope it gives hope to others never ever take a first opinion always seek more advice.

MrsMcJnr i just followed all you guys' advice on this thread and also took agnus castus from day 1 till ovulation as someone on mumsnet recommended it for annovulatory cycles. i did opk days13/14 got positives on those and temps showed only slight rise day15. i've dipped below my coverline twice since ovulation but early on and had an implantation dip as well day8 but i think my cycle is triphasic hope all that makes sense and is of some use to someone!!
not sure if its all in my head but feel very queasy now!! am off for a lie down before dd wakes up its my day off today

Aw, babelisa, sorry about AF - not sure there is a Nov thread, looks like you may be starting it but there'll be a few of use hopping over soon.

My AF is due Thurs / Fri as well as MrsMcJ and Cutiebabies, so lets see what the next few days brings

Huge CONGRATULATIONS to you Rubyroo Thats excellent news. Do you know the cause of your lack of ovulation before this month?

Hi Rubles, really really hope AF stays away and its your month.

MrsMcJ - So your temps are back up. That could be very interesting!

Hi to everyone else on here... Hope you all having a good day

hello all
i am also due af on friday like you MrsMrJnr and i also did cheep test today and got a bfn wish i had'nt done it now just hopeing it's to early yet have no sighns of af but have no sighns of bfp so dont know what to think really.A big congratulations to all that got there bfp this month and hope to join you very soon. xx

Morning all!

Dancing round the room for Rubyroo!!! wonderful, exciting, fabulous news!!! Now you must share all you did to get it!!

9dpo today and temp went back up by .3c, hoping it's not just AF rise but sneaky cheapy test said negative this morning but I am still keeping a smidging of a hope!

Babymad - what you feeling unloved for?! not by us, quite a few of us have wondered where you had got to! Sorry to hear that you think AF is on her way. If it is any concillation, I am due mine on Friday too as are quite a few others so whereever we move to from this thread, hopefully, we'll be going there together!! Glad to hear you have a positive action plan for next cycle. Remember, we have 2 more chances before Christmas!

Oh Endless, I'm sorry!

DD1, I'll miss you but totally understand, take good care and come back to us as soon as you feel you can, best of luck to you & your DH x

Welcome Jess! Hope you get the answer you want or an answer at worst very soon, what a long wait you are having!

Hello RachelRose Hope you enjoy the book and that AF stays away tomorrow!

Hello to Rubles and Natty fingers crossed for you ladies too and all the others I have forgotten, oh such an exciting time on this thread!!!!

fingers crossed for you rubles. x

ooo rubes i have my fingers crossed for you, i hope she keeps away

Natty - let us know what your result is.

Trace2, nice to know I'm remembered! How are you doing hun? I saw your post about ditching the thermometer as it was getting you too jittery - very good idea, if you ask me. Just try to enjoy the fact that you have got a nice BFP and don't keep watching out for things going wrong. Enjoy having your little bean in there.

I have still been getting the cramps on a daily basis, some days worse than others. Really don't understand it as it has been happening for 8 days now - would love to think it was implantation but really don't think so, somehow. I just can't imagine myself afer getting pregnant anymore.
After my low temperature on Monday I haven't been taking my temp because I think I would prefer to find out I wasn't pregnant by knicker watching, I think I want to keep a glimmer of hope. Today or tomorrow is the day for AF though, so the waiting game could all soon be over.

So Rubyroo, do you want to tell us what you did differently this time?

Jess - sounds very confusing for you, I don't really know what could be going on. I hope you get that elusive positive though.

Babymad - I wondered where you had disappeared to. It sounds like you are in a similar boat to me with the AF pains. I'm 12 dpo today though.

Lovelybird & endlesslove (and anyone else that I have missed who has just got AF), sooo sorry. Maybe you could still try and squeeze in a positive in October though??

Hi to everyone else - Rachelrose, MrsMcJnr...oh blimey I know I'll have missed someone...

How many days past ov are you now? Starting to feel better? Any symptoms yet?

on 10dpo

Congratulations rubyroo! Well done chick!

Rubyroo, congratulations

Thanks Trace and Rubyroo been told to look for higher than 16 so fingers crossed, chart shows i have ovulated but you never know.

How early did you test Trace?

rubles how are you? been thinking of you

natty it was 31 i thought that might be too low for a pregnancy as someone had posted 60 who was pregnant but apparently not! let me know how you get on with yoursxx

Not a problem hun, what was your progestone result again? I had mine on Monday so should get results next week. x

Ha ha Rubyroo. So you definitely ovulated then! Congratulations.
