Fingers crossed for u napping !
Still waiting for AF on day 32 now ! Never had a cycle this long Can vitamin b6 cause this. ?

NappingRabbit · 24/09/2016 21:22

Sorry pumkin - I'm in the same boat. First time lucky with DS and I'm in the 2ww of cycle 3 now and not feeling very optimistic.

Pumkinpie1 · 23/09/2016 09:30

Well I got a second bfn today with ics so I guess that's me out just wait for AF to turn up
Getting a bit down hearted, was first month with lo that's forth month now Sad

oaty I mean the internet cheapie strip pregnancy tests although they're meant to be sensitive they are not as good as a proper test!

oatybiscuits · 22/09/2016 22:40

Lullaby what's ICs? I'm finding feeding excruciating at the moment, and trying to figure out if it's a symptom or teething! Sort of hoping it's the latter as that st least won't last as long as pregnancy, but it's very odd. I've been off the pill a month, no af yet I poas on Tuesday but negative.... I wish there was a way to just look and see what's going on!

lullaby23 · 22/09/2016 13:19

Thank you for the congrats.
writer I really sympathise, I am so impatient I was thinking I'd have to wean but DS fed more than usual so it clearly wasn't the defining factor! You know you are fertile because of your sad loss so it probably isn't 100% necessary. Can you think of anything positive to do instead? Supplements? B6 is meant to be good I took it for a couple of months. Also totally anecdotal but both times I've fallen pregnant we have DTD earlier than my FW no idea if that is why!

Good luck to everyone with your upcoming pg tests, don't trust the ICs they are so crap until AF is late!

Pumkinpie1 · 21/09/2016 08:32

Sorry about your bfn Boat.
Fingers crossed for you Abraham !
I'm day 28 today did test was bfn but only ovulated day 17/18 so only 11 days post Ov.
I don't have any pregnancy symptoms ( didn't last time until 6 weeks) but don't feel like AF is coming either
I'm really hoping I get chance to retest Saturday morning

boatrace30 · 21/09/2016 07:20

Previous post should have said "not been great at temp charting". Anyway bfn this morning so back in the world of irregular cycles. Lots of ewcm (I thought it was AF) so maybe I'm now ovulating??

Fingers crossed pumpkin and abrahamkin

Abrahamkin · 21/09/2016 06:37

How are you doing Pumpkinpie. 2 days ago I was sure I was pregnant (feeling the same nausea as I did with the previous pregnancy and heavy boobs). SO yesterday morning I tested...bfn...which is to be expected seeing as I was only day 24. So now going to try and wait patiently for the weekend to even consider testing/hope that AF doesn't appear.

boatrace30 · 20/09/2016 22:23

aries really pleased AF came. It's a good feeling isn't it? Mine was due today and hasn't come. But I have never ever been regular due to pcos so I wasn't expecting it really, but do have cramps. Anyway will poas tomorrow but hopes not high. I have my been great at temp charting but fertility friend tells me I haven't ovulated. Hope everyone else is doing ok and sorry to those of you who've had bad luck.

Writerwannabe83 · 19/09/2016 08:58

Congratulations lullaby - there's nothing lovelier than looking st photos with second lines Flowers

Yet again I got my period on my last cycle so feeling disheartened yet again. I'm on cycle 6 now of TTC whilst BF and starting to think it isn't ever going to happen even though this thread demonstrates otherwise.

I had my positive OPK this morning so I'm heading into the TWW but I just can't feel excited about it anymore.

I don't want to wean DS off the breast but if I don't conceive this month then I think I'm going to have to Sad

Abrahamkin · 16/09/2016 18:59

I'm on cycle day 21. So around 10 days to go for me.

Pumkinpie1 · 16/09/2016 17:07

What cycle day are you Abraham ?
We're on holiday from tomorrow my day 28 is Wednesday I'm hoping to try n forget n for AF to not arrive with plan to test Saturday morning

lullaby23 · 16/09/2016 06:57

To the pregnant ladies I have attempted to revive the BF grads thread in pregnancy if anyone fancies chatting over there? Will still be lurking here and cheering you guys on though.

Abrahamkin · 15/09/2016 07:00

wave at pumpkinpie.

I have not tracked anything except dates. This worked for DC1, so hoping it works for DC2! If not I will have a lot to learn I can see.

Sorry I forgot to include the chart!

User11220 · 15/09/2016 06:08

Morning. Good luck to those in tww! Well I think I've detected a temp shift in my very erratic chart! Assuming the temp stays high over next few days does this indicate that I ovulated yesterday (cd22) or could I still have ovulated the day before that (cd21) which is when I really felt physically that I was ovulating?

Xalonera · 15/09/2016 00:01

Aries here but I've NC'd.
My first PP AF has finally arrived! Grin and we can start to ttc properly.

Congratulations lullaby!

Pumkinpie1 · 14/09/2016 22:35

I'm on the 2 wait Abraham, in on cycle day 22 got my fingers crossed for both of us! No one knows we TTC either it's hard not taking bout it!
Go for it dilly !

Abrahamkin · 14/09/2016 19:12

Good luck dillydolly!

Pumkinpie1 · 14/09/2016 18:21

Keep us posted about how ur scan goes too xx
Wish u a healthy happy pregnancy

oatybiscuits · 14/09/2016 17:53

Congratulations lullaby! How exciting!

dillydollydarling · 14/09/2016 15:44

Implant is out so now I'm officially ttc! Grin

NappingRabbit · 14/09/2016 12:19

Congratulations lullaby, wonderful news!

I'm waiting to ovulate, I imagine it will be sometime in the next week, so I'm a bit behind you on the TWW Abrahamkin.

Abrahamkin · 14/09/2016 11:30

Ah yes! Anyone else in the TWW? Would be good to have others waiting with me, as no one else knows we are TTC, and I think my DH will soon get bored of hearing me talk about it!
