Morning everyone, thanks for your kind words xx. Had a terrible day yesterday, everything became too much.

Hopefully a better day today.

No AF, temp is up higher than yesterday 36.66 still up high. On my chart it seems to have stepped up a notch over 4/5 days. (Highest temps all cycle- over the 42 days).

Had another early night last night as was shattered. I've lost 3lbs in 3 days where I have lost my appetite. Really unusual. Slightly smelly FMU which never noticed before- def not a UTI. Headache yesterday,
Lower abdo pulling feeling.

Annoyingly; on paper it all looks incredibly suspicious and anyone else I'd say looks like they could be pregnant. Shame..

Waiting for the witch to appear...

This nice weather definitely makes you feel better! Shame it doesn't last very long. X

I had ovia Jem but I don't track symptoms too much because I feel if I do I am feeling for every twinge and sometimes imagine things.

I think I probably have them every month to be honest too.

Not long now until we will find out xx

Massive hug footprints hope you're alright xx

Happy dtding jodders

Congrats on your citizenship phsyics!

radders and tee I've got exactly the same today - twinges and aches in tummy / pelvis. Looking back at my notes this exact thing happens every cycle for me, so for once I am not getting my hopes up. It could mean very different things for you guys though.

Does anyone else keep a symptom diary? I use the app Pink Pad which very helpfully has a notes section on the calendar - I've got 5 months of friggin notes up now

Anyway I've had a lovely glass of wine and pizza tonight with my husband and a good friend OUTSIDE - how continental - and am feeling a bit more zen

Sorry summer - stay positive for next cycle

Mimi - keep us posted ... I agree with the others at 35 you're still young!

I count ovulation day as 0 too.

Looking good Jod, seems darker to me!

Aw footprints big hug. Probably all coming to ahead a bit. It's an emotional journey!

Physics hope AF shows soon for you if it's going to so you can get back into the cycle. Or it might not....

My symptoms today are AF type cramps in my lower abdomen and little right pelvic twinges now and again ... Hoping its a good sign but not getting my hopes up xxx

Congrats Physicskate!!

CD 36 13 dpo

Tempt 36.38 which is below coverline.... BFN with IC again... used FMU.

So now just waiting for AF to start so we can get ready for second cycle!

Had my citizenship ceremony and 2 guilt free prossecos already!

Ahhhh footprints, sending you loads of hugs my love i know it's hard but think positive. Go into new cycle positive otherwise you will be stressed out and it won't work. Come on girl, don't let this grind you down!!

Now we know rather!! Gosh, what's happening to my spelling and grammar!!!!

Ladies, we need to keep positive and keep our hopes up!! Let's not be defeated and plan for next cycle. I'm sorry to hear your news Mim and Footprints! At least now we now and it won't be long till we're in our Fertile week again!! :-)

Sending hugs to you footprints. I know it's tough hun and hope you feel better soon

Big hugs footprints. It's hard to remain positive all the time. I know I haven't been trying very long so I can't fully understand what you are feeling but the frustration must drive you crazy.

Yes I take multi maca too as does my DH. It improves sex drive.

Jodders- I think it will happen at weekend for you. Start planning your approach!
Have you heard of maca root too? Might give that a go too..

My pregnant friend just popped in for a coffee - it's hard and I didn't let it show. Very pleased for her and she's blooming well. Soon as she left i was a bit emotional. Haven't even got the AF yet so dreading what I'll be like. Think I'm upset with DH too so it's all got to me today. He doesn't know the half of it. All this emotional mind consuming feelings.. The military operation in the bathroom with timings, charts and sticks. A bit defeated today...

I have been taking dong quai. Will stop now as ovulation is looming. I took it as I wanted to build lining up after having the coil. I took Angus cactus before I got PG with my second too.

CD 12 Here's today's OPK. I think it's getting a bit darker now although still negative. Hoping it goes positive tomorrow. Will be DTD next four days.

I've heard of that. Yes may give it a go. Also read about vitex- Angus cactis or something like that.

Footprints have you thought of trying dong quai? To bring on periods and regulate cycles?

Mimi- I'm 38. Worried too. You'll b fine at 35 though. You are still a spring chicken . Do you def know if you ovulated? As I'm starting to wonder now if I'm ovulating at all and it's just fake surges? Going to have to wait to see at my hosp appt end of May.

I counted the dip temp at ovulation as Day 0, and the day of the temp increase as dpo 1. Would be interesting to know what u find out Tee.

Summer & Mimi- so sorry AF hit you. Big hug It's so disappointing isn't it. Really sucks! I think I'm joining you shortly on next cycle as did FRER just now ( kept the FMU in jar) and was a bfn. Shortly after that which is so blinking typical along came cramps, and the headache which I usually get with AF. So pretty sure it will happen in next 24hrs tops. Very disappointed and feeling emotional. The "H" nearly got my rolling pin swing at his head when he said I was grumpy so must be on period and I need to just get on with it. He jinxed it.

Come on physics - give us a BFP!!

The tww others.. Keep at the pineapple and Brazil's & kiwi! I am starting to think that I'll still be waiting for a new cycle when it's your turn to test. Off to the gp next week I think - really don't want 40 plus day cycles!!

Oh mimi really hope it isn't. At 35 you've still got plenty of time to have a baby. Don't lose hope xx

Morning
Cd23
Woke up to some more brown spotting but this looks more like the start of af, chances are it will come in full force tmwr. Really gutted!! Onto cycle 12.at 35 I think my hope is slowly fading

Jem, I also count ov as day 0.wishing you more patience and baby dust

Oh footprints, I can only imagine what you are going through ((hope it all ends in a bfp))

Radders, sending you more patience too. Hold off poas as much as possible hun.

Lost all excitement in ttc tee, hope you are luckier this cycle. Fx. Only over a week to know
