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.

That sounds awful I guess all you can do is try and rest. Time to start a new boxset maybe?! I've got my fingers crossed so tightly for you

Thanks for asking carlton I barely slept last night as the cramps were so bad, and I'm sure I had some spotting too :( will know for sure in a few days if it is a chemical pregnancy. It's horrible isn't it :(

How are you feeling this morning brooke?

We were ttc DD for 3 years, well 36 cycles to be precise. I'd do just about anything to avoid going through invasive fertility investigations again. I know a lot of people who have had success with IVF but for me it's a last resort.

Dizzy sounds great. Hope it works for you! A friend of mine faced the same issues when TTC #2 so I know how frustrating the NHS offer is.

88 we've been ttc #2 for 14 months now. NHS can only help with prescribing clomid and we will need to go private if that doesn't work so we decided to try a few other things before even thinking of IVF. I had a few cycles of reflexology but to be honest I didn't find it relaxing. I then looked into acupuncture and decided to go for it. The lady has a specialist interest in fertility and is also qualified in herbal medicine.

Thinking of you Brooke, hope you feel better soon.

Interesting to hear about your acupuncture Dizzy. What made you decide to try it (sorry if you've already said). Great that it was relaxing - that can only be a good thing right? Hope this is your month!

I hope you feel better soon, Brooke

Currently sat with hot water bottle, feels so good :) definitely helping, thanks ladies :)

Brooke I hope all goes well for you. I don't think a hot water bottle can cause any harm. Just wrap it in a cover if you're worried. Get plenty of rest

I'm back from my acupuncture appointment and feel so tired I could do with a snooze! The lady looked at my chart and said I'm a slow riser(!) and my temps are lower than what she would like to see post ov. She said we'll work on this with acupuncture. However, the main thing she's concerned about is my low ovarian reserve which I told her about. She said she wasn't about to suggest herbs to me as low prog is easy to correct but with low ovarian reserve herbs will be required to improve egg quality. It was a very relaxing session and I will have this weekly throughout one cycle and see how it goes.

Thanks all :) gp basically said to wait it out, test again on Tuesday when Af is actually late, and go.from there...I'd love a hot water bottle, would that cause any harm do you think?

Morning... ahem, afternoon all! Just got back from Ikea. Now sitting with beer in hand, the only salve for AF.

But in better news, AF is done so now the manic ttc-ing can begin again!

Hope you feel better Brooke! A hot water bottle, bad telly, and a good (decaf) cuppa will hopefully bring you some relief.

Welcome mamma sorry I haven't already said it, Ive been too wrapped up in myself thankyou for saying that, you've reassured me a little :)

Hi all!

Thanks for the welcome, I'm in the TWW and due on next Saturday if my cycle is going to behave it's self. So nothing much to report, got a few twinges and my nipples feel different but I'm an awful symptom spotter.

Congratulations on all the BFP's!!

Brooke - The cycle I fell pregnant with my little girl, was the 1 cycle of TTC that I told myself I KNEW I wasn't pregnant because I had the worst period pains I had ever had. Walking hurt, breathing hurt, and I counted myself out. But I found out a few days later I was pregnant, and I had pains like that til about 10 weeks! The pregnancy went fine and she will be 3 in September :-) I hope yours turns out the same :-)

I don't think they'd do an early scan as I'm only just pregnant :( haven't had missed Af until Monday, so it really is super early days :( I really feel like Af could start anytime, I'm thinking this is going to result in chemical pregnancy or mc :( I had an early mc around 6-7 weeks around 2 years ago when me and dh were pulling and praying, this feels exactly the same :(

Brooke - I hope beyond hope that this isn't bad news for you. I've never been pg so I don't know, but I remember my colleague telling me she was surprised how much pain she was in during early pregnancy. Xx

Oh brooke how awful! I can't imagine how worried you are!! Can they offer you a scan or have u had one already? Waiting it out is probably all you can do! Make sure you get some rest and take some time off work! Can't really put your feet up unless you have anyone who can look after dc1&2 for a few hours? Try to lay flat however much u want to curl up. As it's worse if u curl up. Maybe try some yoga cat stretches? Hope u feel better! Xxx

So I'm definitely pregnant, but in Alot of pain, I didn't feel like this at all with dc1 and dc2, I'm so upset :( got the doctors in a short while, but I can almost guess what she's going to say, wait it out, which is all you can do :( I don't suppose anybody has a lovely story about extreme pains and a healthy pregnancy? Clutching at straws here :(

Morning ladies

Southy I think temps of post ov are quite low. Mine aren't too high post ov but are above 36 but nothing like other charts I have seen. I do have low progesterone so it's probably linked to that. I'm having acupuncture today and the lady wants to see my chart so will report back on what happens. Great news about the SA results.

Wish I use the mobile site. I was going to download the app but I heard it was rubbish for pics so didn't bother.

I use the mobile website on safari too, the app is so rubbish for pictures etc, and the mobile site saves your place too if you leave the page open

Wish you can see pics or upload on the app :(. I log in to the mobile website when there are pics to see! Xx

southy 35 does sound cool. Mine was almost 37 today... But it could be that you are just a super cool chick! As long as you see a pattern on your chart it should be fine.
Does anyone else use the mn app on their iPhone? How do u see pictures? And upload? It was frustrating yesterday when I was desperate to see everyone's good news!

Morning ladies!!! Thanks for the new bus Night! Just stepping aboard! I stupidly POAS this morning (at 5am what a nutter) no surprise it was bfn really considering I'm way to early to test! I've figured I need to use up all my tests to get rid of the temptation for next cycle! I've no self control

CD13 here. Defo ewcm yesterday but not sure today so I believe I'm entering the 2ww... Shall continue pestering dh just in case. Had really vivid dreams last night of taking a BFP , though it all ot a bit surreal and I was elbow deep in a bucket of my wee at one point. Not sure whether to hope I'm psychic or not.

My last vivid dream was (pre-election) Cameron dying of a heart attack two weeks before the election which obv didn't materialise....

southy there are loads of variables between people. I think there might be an issue of your post-ov temps are always 35 but I don't really know. I don't think pre-ov it's a problem. In fact the most nb thing is not the actual temps but the rise after ov, even if it isn't massive. As long as it is an obvious pattern. I might be wrong, but that's the way I understand it.
