Hi newbie, me too - no symptoms though so not holding out much hope. Daisy sunshine, were there any symptoms for you before you got your BFP? Think I am cycle 6. Daisy, had you been trying for a long time?

newbie6 · 01/09/2014 08:59

Oh congrats daisysunshine, fantastic news!

I'm on the 2ww again, cycle no 5 so hoping this month might be the one, have used the clearblue monitor this month so fingers crossed! No symptoms at all though so not too hopeful!

Good luck everyone else!

Thank you :) still can't quite believe it! Have been POAS all day to make sure! Sending you guys lots of baby dust and hope you get your BFPs soon! :) xxx

Comgratulations Daisysunshine! Flowers Grin

It looks like I ovulated because I got a positive OPK and my temps are higher, but I'm not sure exactly which day I ovulated as there is a dip in the temperatures. All looking good though - I'm relieved my body does seem to ovulate, so there's hope. I only need one egg to be good enough quality to stick, after all. Wink

Congratulations! Well done daisy sunshine, fab news! Xxx

daisysunshine2 · 30/08/2014 22:01

Xxxxx

MaGratgarlik1983 · 28/08/2014 21:37

Still no AF here so think I oved quite late - bring on the 3 and a half week wait!!

HappilyMrsR · 28/08/2014 21:34

Hello gang, on the TWW, ovulated a bit earlier than usual. Got a good feeling about this time and trying to be optimistic... Anyone else on the two week wait? Need some company/moral support!

RedBunny · 28/08/2014 20:41

Yeah pee sticks.... I hate to think how many £££££ I've spent on pee sticks!! I'm out this month again. Bfn today. Waiting for another AF so I can get onto next try now!!

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 28/08/2014 16:44

Another month, another cycle. Waiting for confirmation of ovulation. I had a slight temp rise this morning but not a dramatic one and I need more data before I'm sure.

How's everyone doing? STEP AWAY FROM THE PEE STICKS. Wink

RedBunny · 26/08/2014 07:44

Where's pinpan? She started the thread and I can't remember seeing her here for ages!

RedBunny · 26/08/2014 07:43

Do you know when you ovulated for sure?

MaGratgarlik1983 · 24/08/2014 21:33

I'm still waiting - CD35 now!! Still bfn, but tons of symptoms, not sure what is going on!

RedBunny · 24/08/2014 20:32

I'm guessing AF got you then. Sad
Where is everyone else now?
I'm on 8dpo today. So.... Can gets with a first response in four days!! Maybe use internet cheapies in the meantime if I just can't hold off!!

Spangila · 22/08/2014 09:41

I POAS and got a BFN this morning and now it feels like AF is just about to visit Hmm

RedBunny · 20/08/2014 20:52

Spangila what happened? Did you POAS? Or AF showed up?

Spangila · 19/08/2014 08:08

According to Ovia I can POAS tomorrow but I've had some clotty spotting today Hmm

Spangila · 16/08/2014 10:16

Still patiently* waiting. I've been nauseous and have nipple soreness but I've no idea when AF is due because I ovulated 5 days before I thought I would. My BBT has been higher than normal...

*climbing the walls, desperately trying not to PO yet another S

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 16/08/2014 00:21

Sorry to hear that, RedBunny. Do you chart your cycles? If not, would you consider starting? It might give you valuable information and even if it doesn't, it might help you to feel a bit more in control of it all. Thanks

RedBunny · 14/08/2014 15:20

Hey all. I don't know where everyone else is but I'm not really being so obsessive anymore! Basically I had an even worse period last time and it was like I had a hard time even hugging my daughter because my stomach was sore to just touch. So went back to doctor and we think something has gone wrong from my last miscarriage which is why I'm not getting pregnant and why my period is getting worse every month. He's referring me for a scan to start with but that might even take three months to come through. Looking into private ones soon I think. So... Looks like I will be waiting a long time for a baby if at all. Sigh. I hope everyone else is having better luck.

TerrysNo2 · 13/08/2014 23:57

hello sarahsun welcome to the obsessors group, we've checked your credentials and it sounds like you'll fit right in Grin Wink

Things have been very quiet here in the past week though, where is everyone?

Sarahsun · 12/08/2014 22:44

Hi everyone, first post but I'm such a POASaholic I'd like to join! It's got to the point where I'm only CD6 so obviously not ovulated yet but oh is working away so I've been sneaking tests into the bathroom!! Haven't actually POAS yet but even that has taken willpower- ridiculous I know! I'm also currently obsessing over whether he will be home in time for ov! Oh dear, it really is all consuming isn't it?!
I came off the pill 14 months ago and have been using CBFM for 6months. I had endometriosis removed 2years ago but not had symptoms since -strongly hope it's not affecting fertility but also too scared to find out if that makes any sense?! Had 4surgeries on my tummy for various things and don't want any more!
Somesort I am taking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins which seem ok, they have all the recommended stuff anyway!
Sorry for the epic post but I'm driving myself (and oh) crazy with all this as most friends/sister seem to pop babies out willynilly so don't really get it- lovely to find like minded people on here xx

HappilyMrsR · 12/08/2014 22:27

I'm out - AF got me 4 days early for some reason. Gutted. Roll on time to POAS for OPK.

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 12/08/2014 18:50

I'm out too. Spotting is getting heavier and had another BNF. I was wracking my brains trying to think why I've been spotting this month, when I never ever have before and not been pregnant. The only thing I've done differently is take Pregnacare Conception vitamins. Confused

A quick google revealed I'm far from the only woman to have experienced that, but no-one knows why they can cause it. I took them because I fell pregnant quite quickly last time when I started taking them, so it was a bit of a mental crutch for me, but they aren't agreeing with me at all this time.

Can anyone recommend another good multivitamin please?

newbie6 · 10/08/2014 13:05

Well I'm out for this month I think, just got a BFN at 3 days before AF due :(
