Thanks hanna. This was the first month I have used opk's and I take folic acid but that is it. I found the opk useful as turns out I ovulated earlier than I thought.

Ladyglitter I am 17 dpo today. It's so frustrating!

ladyglittersparkle · 12/03/2017 10:39

Faye how many DPO are you?
I was 16 dpo before I got my BFP with my last baby.
You not out until AF arrives

Hello to Oldschool41 Smile
*
Fayemay* how frustrating Sad as hard as it is, maybe try stop thinking about AF as the more we think on it the more patterns are affected.. that way she sooner she arrives the sooner you wave goodbye?!

Just out of curiosity are you doing all the ovulation tracking, taking baby aspirin and using things like pre-seed? I don't know how much of these things to do..and wonder if I should get my act together a bit more?

Hi everyone! I held off until this morning to test and it's a bfn Sad AF still not here, 4 days late so not sure what's going on! Wish af would appear so I can start next month afresh already!

Hi! We are about to start our ttc journey for baby #2 - scared, excited, nervous - we've done it before but this time feels different some how 🤔. We have a dd who is almost 5 - not sure if this make us mad to go back to sleepless nights and bottles! Lol

Hi Faye
Don't forget to keep us updated- excited for u!

Ladyglittersparkle, nice to hear from you! Im a pharmacist by background but in all honesty-feel that science may not be so accurate after reading on here about ttc after any of the pills...
Fingers crossed with your positive opk...

I haven't yet started using any fertility devices yet...but if things don't progress in a few months i defo will... my dh thinks its all mumbojumbo Confused

Ooo Faye how exciting, good luck

ladyglittersparkle · 11/03/2017 12:35

Hi Hanna, we're trying to conceive #3 our youngest is 17 months old. I stopped taking the mini pill at the beginning of January and have been using OPKs since as I had no AF while on the pill and none since stopping. I got my first positive OPK yesterday, so fingers crossed
