It's staying light longer and we are taking the opportunity to get well and truly upduffed, yes that's right, three BFPs in one day! That's the May bus for you.

Hope Af Stays away tghw

Blood test went OK, levels have gone up around the 3000 mark they were, exactly 5w today...I feel absolutely horrendous. My hormones are insane, I keep breaking down thinking about dc1 and dc2, I haven't been there for them for over a week, I feel like such a crap mom, they didn't ask for me to be so unwell :(

Hi all. Hope you had a good weekend. I'm coming to the end of the fertile period at present, so my DH can soon have a rest . We're not doing too badly - EOD has been managed despite (1) a cold (2) broken down trains and (3) a toddler who only taken super short naps.

Almost time for the waiting to begin...

Hello grand I think your chart looks good. I've heard it's quite common for people not to get positives on OPKs, some people get quite a short surge of LH and if you aren't testing three times a day you might miss it. Fingers crossed for you, are you tempted to test or are you just going to wait and see if AF stays away?

Good to hear from you brooke, sorry you've had such a stressful time and hoping you get a good outcome at the end of this. Keep us updated.

Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday!!

I hope AF stays well away Grandhighwitch!

Sarah let the shagathon begin!!!

Grand your charts looking good and I completely agree with plum. We do stress over every little detail of our charts. I think so long as there's a clear pattern then there's no real reason to worry. Also I think FF has correctly pinpointed ov. Fx for you.

Brooke thinking of you.

Carrot how are you doing?

Hallo grand fwiw I really like the look of your chart! It doesn't matter that the actual temps aren't high. I do think people worry about the temps in themselves too much. What you want it the pattern and the shift, and from that chart it really looks like the shift is clear and being maintained! I hope the spotting is implantation and not af! Will xf!
broo I agree about it becoming so worrisome once you start learning the details. We can always miscarry for whatever reason but we must think positive! tries to follow own advice

Good evening ladies. Sorry I haven't been around much this month, I haven't had a lot of time to come online for various reasons. Congratulations to all those who have had a BFP and commiserations to those who have had AF.

Brooke, best of luck for your hcg levels.

I am 13dpo today according to fertility friend and was also due AF. I wasn't sure if I had actually ovulated as the clearblue ovulation tests kept giving me a empty circle/low result. But an IC ovulation test did come up as positive in that time and from my BBT it would seem I ovulated, well, 13 days ago lol.

No AF so far. I have had a very tiny amount of spotting for the last few hours but it would usually have got a little heavier by now (sorry for TMI ).

Tbh I am not convinced that I am pregnant as my temps seem too low and indeed this morning, my temp fell to just above the coverline. On the other hand, the scant spotting is getting my hopes up unfairly. I will see what tomorrow and my temp then brings I think.

Hi night can you please update my stats

Age 35, TCC 1, cycle 9, OTD 13 Jun (I've no idea what OTD stands for if anyone can enlighten me please. I've put down the date when I am expecting AF - is that right??

I've finally found the second half of this bus - was worried for about 30mins that I couldn't find you all. Phew-ey.

I was away for my AF (boo-hiss), and I'm now CD9 and temping on Fertility Friend, can't wait for the approaching Ovulation! Hopefully this month I will ovulate (I had no smiley faces last month on pee sticks - so presumed ovulation just didn't happen for me!)

Thanks plum if they rise by What they'd like to see, I could still miscarry couldn't I? Ttc was never this hard the first and second time, pregnancy was a breeze (sighs)

broo I'll be rooting for you! :)

I'm not actually sure I'm in the tww yet miss. Got another flashing smiley today and quite a lot of ewcm so will carry on dtd. My cycle has changed this month as I usually ov on cd13 and I'm cd15 today so will check my dates as soon as ov is confirmed.

oh wow! that's pretty cool now ur in the 2ww how long till ur bfp/af due???

Miss I'm having acu for fertility issues. I have low progesterone and low ovation reserve. Acu can help balance the hormones and the herbs can improve egg quality. The lady has a specialist interest in fertility.

Dizzy Awww thats great! what does acupuncture do? ? I've never heard of that... definitely have my fx for you!! Goodluck!!!! x

It's great that you're doing so well miss. Once you start your appointments it will start to sink in more. I'm ok have started acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Posted my chart on the other bus and think I ovulated yesterday so now for the 2ww!!!

Brooke - 3040 is a 60% increase xx

Dizzy - I'm good thanks x.. i had a bit of a scare the other day as i had a bleed/spotting but it only lasted about 1hr and it was when my af would have been due so relatively normal.. i can't get into my dr's until the 11th of june so by that point ill should be 7w1d ( according to my bc app) so it still dosent feel real.. i have no M.Sickness or anything just extremly sore nips haha! how are you doing? ?

Don't stress yourself out over the numbers brooke it will only add to your anxiety. Try to get some rest and I hope all goes well tomorrow.

Thanks hun, the nurse said they want to see a rise of at least 60% tomorrow, from 1900 what is that? I've been trying to work it out but I'm just so tired and stressed, been up since 3:45 as I couldn't sleep stressing x

Hopefully it will be all good news and your hcg levels will be on the rise. Everything I've read indicates it would be difficult to see anything and that's also the reason why even private early scans aren't offered until at least 6 weeks. I hope today passes quickly for you.

Thanks dizzy I've googled so much over the last couple of days, I've read that they should be able to see a tiny dot in it about the size of a sesame seed, and they couldn't see anything, that's what's stressing me out, and that tomorrow they'll know more by my hcg results :(
