Hi, I'm not sure if theres already a thread for those hoping for a +ive October. I'm on the +ive Sept one but my fertile window for this month has just passed without being able to try (got to get blood sugars stable before we can try) so next chance to try will be towards end of September (32ish cycle), which means I won't be in a position to test til October. If theres already an October thread please point me in that direction, if not, here we go!

Hey Desperate2b cycle buddy big hug. Don't let things get to you. We'll make it xxx I think today... Monday is CD14 which is around the time my OV used to be but last month OV was CD 18. I don't mind erratic, but the longer the cycles (if they are cycles) the more messing around waiting Really I am struggling to work out whether OV happened after 13 years of the pill.

Warm Sunday hug to Rachelrose. Its hard when the cycles are longer as its easy to get your hopes up. Fingers and toes really crossed. I agree its worth waiting a couple of days to test however hard so you don't get your hopes up. I took a BFN at CD30 days last month.. 20 minutes later I was in the same toilet for AF... expensive business testing early financially and emotionally.

Hey Mrs MC the park together is a good plan although bloody cold right now
The insensitive bunnies get me the most. Why does everyone have to ask such obvious questions... so you just got married when will you have kids then?...... so....... none of your business!

Hey nattythomas sorry you fell hope things are still ok. What's new with you xxx

Congratulations freakyfloss and babymonster very exciting! Babymonster you are lucky with the ky as that's meant to slow the sperm swimming at all!

Hello to lots of new people. I am newish too and if I had my time again I would join as grapefruitjuicesucks :0)

Hey Rubles am 2/3 weeks behind in the cycle for testing, but fingers crossed for you I agree with your thoughts on putting your life on hold. I have so far held off on buying the expensive interview suit. Which is silly really as I am relatively new to trying. Need a job and like shopping.

birthnight tonight on channel 5..started at 8pm ive already been in tears..they are hoping to screen a live birth

Natty1806 · 08/10/2006 19:03

Rachel Rose - how are you managing not to test? Are you normally regular?

I am fine, has a bit of spotting this morning but nothing since, temps are dropping but AF has not arrived yet and it doesn't feel like she will arrive today maybe the cramps will kick in tomorrow.

Congrats to all that have BFP's.

divamummy · 08/10/2006 16:45

congratulations fleakyfloss,
did u check on your af due date? im due on tuesday, already tested couple times. very impatient i just cant wait to find out.

rubyroo · 08/10/2006 16:01

hey rachelrose sounding good for you!! will keep all crossed for you

RachelRose · 08/10/2006 15:45

Hi all,

How's everyone's weekend. Congratulations Freakyfloss

Flossam - Any news of AF - hope its stayed away and you get a good result when you test!

How are things Natty1806, hope you're feeling OK.

Things are OK for me - stll no AF, 2 days late now, but I just KNOW I'm not pregnant so am not going to test. I know it sounds silly, but I dont want to see the confirmation that its negative just yet. I think I'm just having a longer than normal cycle. Oh well, I'll just see what the next couple of days brings.

FreakyFloss · 08/10/2006 14:57

clear blue digital says i am pregnant. good luck to any one else testing and everyone for next month. thank you to everyone for your support.

rubyroo · 08/10/2006 13:21

congrats to new bfp's! just popped in to catch up
dizzy36 i stopped exercising so much and let my weight go up a bit also took epo 1000mg and agnus castus twice a day from holland and barratt. some have posted that they're not sure about agnus castus but everything i read seems fine from 1st day af til ovulation (i think people were mixing it up with dong quai which is a definite no-no)i also cut out all caffeine and alcohol hope that helps

FreakyFloss · 08/10/2006 08:50

well af due today, and when i got up i did an early morning sample. i got some cheap tests of ebay so figured i mights as well waste one. i tested it about an hour after i produced the sample and read it after about twelve minutes and there is a very very faint line. Will i have more luck with a clear blue digital? SHOULD I BUY ONE TODAY TO DO AN EARLY MORNING (opps caps sorry), sample with tomorrow? I still very much feel like i am going to come on - i even have a spot this morning!

lynneclynne · 07/10/2006 23:18

That's brilliant FF, hope to see u there too.

FreakyFloss · 07/10/2006 22:41

Well dp has now agreed to TTC next month too, with a month 'off' after, so I'm a little more chilled out at the fact that I am coming on tomorrow. See you in the Nov thread!

NattyandThomasandBump · 07/10/2006 12:30

congrats to bfp's, please fill in details on BFP stats page.

Natty1806 · 07/10/2006 12:04

Congrat Babymonster - spill the beans on what you did this month apart from bding at the right time.

coggy · 07/10/2006 11:55

Bugger!
You have to take it off not add it on.........sorry!!!

Congrats babymonster.

feedmenow · 07/10/2006 11:46

Welcome kiwifruit! Be sure to keep us updated on whether af arrives....

Congrats and big hugs babymonster....thats fantastic news!!

babymonster · 07/10/2006 11:43

well i've done all my tests and they have all shown bfp's. i can't believe it. i'm so excited.

Flossam · 07/10/2006 11:20

hello everyone - sorry about af's arriving jess and mrsmc. i have looked at my dates again and for the last three months i have had 28 day cycles - meaning af is due tomoorow. i'm about 99% sure it is on its way - slight crampey feelings and increase in cm. i'm going to test on monday morning as dp and i have the day to ourselves, i would usually be working so ds is off to the cm's. also means i shouldn't waste a test. but i really don't think it will come to that as my only symptoms now are no spots(got my share earlier in the cycle!) and going to bed earlier than usual. good luck to everyone else waiting to test.

coggy · 07/10/2006 11:13

I think it generally takes off/adds on 0.05 for every half hour time difference.....so if you add on 0.15 to your temp this morning it should give you the equivilent.

I'll check your chart out.

Natty1806 · 07/10/2006 10:10

Oh and temp looks like it is dropping so only a matter of days now.

I forgot to wake up and do it this morning at 5.30 so i did it at 7 so the software has crossed it out.

Natty1806 · 07/10/2006 10:08

Normal but a little different but i have not ovualted in over a year so am waiting for the pain to arrive. did feel sick last night and then again this morning driving to Asda but pretty sure it is all in my head and i when i had periods before i went on the pill years ago i was really ill with periods and use to nearly faint etc. So hoping they don't go back to being that bad.

coggy · 07/10/2006 09:46

Welcome kiwifruit.....you'll get lots of helpful info and support on here.
Lots of people don't get a +ve test until after their period is due...so there is still hope for you!

And you Natty......does it feel like AF normal or different?

Natty1806 · 07/10/2006 09:27

Morning All

I am now 11DPO so am waiting for AF to arrive shortly. have had two spots of blood in CM in the last two days when i wipe IYSWIM (sorry if TMI for some) so not sure what that is all about probably just a sign that she is coming.

Feel bloated and it is uncomfortable to sleep on my front but i get this every month so not holding out any hope, just want AF to arrive in a way so i can crack on with the next try.
