So sorry about your mcs, buddub. Fx for you for the future.

Buddub so sorry for your losses

I've been using ovia & FF. If you're charting, FF is much better than ovia but if you're not charting, I much prefer ovia!

buddub so sorry for your losses. I hope this sounds like it's meant. I find hearing stories of other people's losses comforting. I felt quite alone in a sea of baby bumps but knowing there are others out there makes you realise that you're not alone. I tried FF last night and I don't like it. Looks a bit too scientific for me. I use Ovia as it's easy to change your AF dates when they play silly buggers.

I'm my naivity, before joining this forum, I had no idea how common MC was. I know so many people on here who have had to go through this, and I can't imagine how it feels.

I hope that the worst is past for you now and in fact, I hope that anyone on the October bus (or any subsequent bus) who gets their BFP goes on to have a healthy and happy baby with no complications.

Hi buddub, so sorry to hear about your mc's. Wishing you loads of luck

Sorry I also need to give my info!

Cycle 2 (since lost baby at 21 weeks)
AF 15/10

Hi there I'm hoping October will be month too! Lost baby 7 weeks and then most recently at 21 weeks.
Just on second cycle of clomid (50mg CD2-6) and desperately hoping it works! Only on CD7 today so feels like far too long to wait!

I might get FF when I start temping, I was worried I'd scare my OH with it all but I showed him my Ovia app yesterday and he didn't laugh or anything .

I'm using Ovia, FF and Clue. Clue I like because you can easily compare cycles and takes me about 10 seconds to update (it also has all my historical data in it).

At the moment I'm trying to make a decision between Ovia and FF. I'm impressed with Ovias algorithm so far (it predicted a shift in my cycle a couple of days sooner than FF) but FF is much better for recording temp data and seeing patterns. I've committed to use both till the end of the year then drop one.

Sk1pper, the list looks great We're all part of a team now!

Hi saritah, I also use Ovia and I think it's brilliant, very easy to understand which is what I like

Sk1pper or Writer suggested Fertility Friend too HTH!

Thanks sk1pper!

lousylear how are you getting on with Ovia, if you don't mind me asking? I've just started using it. After years on the pill I've no idea how long my cycle is, but I'm hoping it will at least give me an idea of what's going on down there!

I'm on cycle 3.
I hate this bit! Getting symptoms that are very likely pms but obv I could read into too much!! I'm going to test on Monday if no Af this weekend. ........

Thanks skipper. I hate the 2ww. 6 days til I can test according to ovia. Going to try and wait til 1st October. We'll see!

I'm glad you're finding it ok sk1pper - I find it has it's ups and downs and I totally agree that waiting for AF (when you can tell it's imminent) is a really annoying part. I'm just dying to get into the fertile week now...

Just a series of wee goals and then more waiting. What can you do?

Skipper can you add me please! Was clinging to the Sept bus as AF due on 1st Oct but as they're all testing or waiting for AF and I'm still early on in the 2WW think I'm better placed on this bus! So stats:

Cycle 3
AF 01/10

Fx for loads of BFP's

No probs everyone, lousy sorry hon - will update it tomorrow for you.

A few of us in the 2ww at the moment, I'm finding it okay. Tbh what I hate more is when you know AF is coming and you just want it over with already.

Thanks skipper

AF is due 11/10, same as ETD - I'm going to try to hold out and not test early. My luteal phase is usually a little short at 11/12 days anyway so we'll see how it goes...

Thanks sk1pper

Thank you Sk1pper for adding me to the bus. I have no idea when AF is due but I'm hoping it shows up before November shows its head. Lol.

Thanks sk1pper

I had a nearly positive OPK line yesterday afternoon, complete negative today and some EWCM today. So I'm going to guess ovulation is today and unless AF hits me first, I'll go for an ETD of 06/10 (as if I'll hold out for a whole 2 weeks...)
