Jess I am so sorry you are feeling so bad. I don't think you should count from the beginnig. Having a MC is extremely unsettling and difficult experieince. Maybe some counselling would help. I think having some fun is a fantastically good idea. Your body sounds healthy and the fact you conceived this year is a really positive thing, even though I am really sorry for your loss. Don't stop taking the Folic Acid. It has been a pleasure hun, take care of yourself and do come back anytime (hopefully with great news).

Rah love your attitude sorry af over weekend away most untimely. I am finding with these vitamins that PMT was back to pre-pill levels --scary stuff. Iwas crying and ranting at the news the other week which had my hubby in stiches (thankfully I didn't notice and he told me afterwards - or it might have got violent).

My temps are being silly stupid since starting the Agnus Castus. Really high but seem to be heading south. Add to that totally tired and always feeling sick, you'd think it was a sympathetic pregnancy. ITs not, my theory is that it is my hormones being given a new kick and need some settling time, so not much hope of pg this month, but all in good time.

Off to MIL for long weekend in Yorkshire. Might be off MN, but then again they do have a pooter!!

Howdy peeps.... How is everyone.

MUM - my computers not broken.... just been really busy. We went to Bristol for the weekend, which was really nice but my sodding period showed up as well as vile PMT! I had a massive argument with the receptionist at the hotel which resulted in her running off crying!She was a complete idiot though... Basically don't mess with the Rah with PMT! GRRRRRRRRRR... Of course there will be more successes, as there is no reason why none of us can't get pregnant, in fact most of us have been pregnant before... so defiantly achievable! For those that have not been pregnant before it is just a matter of time for you guys too! None of us have gynie problems...just bad luck!

Jess - so sorry you are feeling miserable... I totally know where you are coming from. I totally agree have some time out, however please don't stop taking folic acid, just in case you get pregnant. You should be taking it up to three months in advance of conceiving. You could perhaps take a different vitamin that has folic acid in, so you are being healthy anyway... Really hope you can relax with your time out and come back with good news. Best wishes. XX

Thinking - I would pop to the doctor and get a blood test. Rule out pregnancy and then ask them to investigate. Your cycle is defiantly longer than it should be. They can then take bloods to monitor hormone levels and ovulation. Then take steps from there if needed. Best of luck at the doc's!

Hi to everyone else... I better go as have loads of work on and have an appointment to get too.... speak soon... I will lurk more promise!

Quick question for the temping ladies...

My normal cycle is 28/30 days long with a 12 day LP.

I know this cycle I had a delayed ovulation either on day 28, 31 or 33 of this cycle.

Today is day 48, even assuming the latest ovulation day (i.e. 33) would put me at 15 DPO, which is 3 days past my normal LP cycle. So I have had 15 much higher than coverline temps to date.

I thought I was pregnant but zillions of BFN tests show clearly that I am not.

I am wondering if I have a cyst, how long do I wait to confirm this, or is it a doctor visit thing ?

Jess - sorry to see you leave, I hope all your wishes and dreams come true, you will be missed here.

Feels like there are many around here at the moment, it feels a bit like the low after the high of so many successes. I hope that we have many more successes soon.

Rah - are you there, is your computer out of action....

Ready - sorry for the very selfish email last night. I will email later today again, and try not to be so self-centred.

Well AF started for me this morning. I was not too suprised given the lack of pg symptoms and the bfn yesterday.

I started ttc almost a year ago. From charting it seems that I OV regularly, have a normal LP and plenty of ewcm, yet after 12 months ttc all I've achieved is one missed mc, a lot of unhappiness and a prescription for anti-depressants. I can honestly say it has been the worst year of my life.

So I've made the decision to stop actively ttc. I'm going to ditch the folic acid, thermometer and OPKs and I'm going to keep away from MN (although I'm very grateful for the support I've received here). I'm going to try and spend the next 6 months enjoying life again. If I get pregnant 'accidently' then I will be overjoyed. If not, then I guess I'll re-evaluate the situation in the new year.

I wish all of you the best of luck for the future .

Mostly just lurking at the moment. Still temping though. Got in a lot of BD action until the most crucial moment this month - I ov'd a day later than expected, DH had been given the go ahead to go out to a beer festival - drunk and useless he was! But as I have a short luteal phase and he has wonky sperm, I don't think timing is really our issue. Would love to manage a 10 day LP though.

Jess - the numbers are looking good, hope to hear good news soon!!

Back to temping tomorrow keep forgetting - fingers crossed Jess - when I fell pg with ds2 it was 6 days after af due...that test showed up positive - don't give up hope yet!

Although Clearblue early is more sensitive than others it still might not give a positive test yet. As you say you never know the OV might be worng, or your body might not have enough hormone levels yet. Based on what you have said I would guess your AF may well start today (hope not) OR you should wait until thursday before tesitng again. v tough 4 you.

I really sympathise even though I KNEW i was not pregnant I was still starting to get those maybe I am thoughts on saturday. Ooh that TTC voice in our heads is a wicked thing!!!

Thinking of you Jess.

to all you lurkers. I know you are out there

15dpo and still no AF and AF cramps have gone for now. I tested last night with a clearblue early and got BFN. I'm assuming that if I was pregnant, then it would have been positive by now. Maybe FF got my OV date wrong, or maybe I didn't OV after all. Just when I thought my cycle was returning to normal, it all goes wrong again.

Hope you have a better day today nappy.

Hello gracie.

Had a lousy day. I hope you are wrong Jess. Fingers crossed. :0)

14dpo today. No AF yet, but stong af pains all day. I've got ewcm again, so I don't think it will be long .

Thanks Gracie. Actually not too bad at the mo as at least LP has increased slightly.

Hopefully you won't need to join us next week, but if you do we look forward to a new/returning temp buddy. We had a totally bumper month of BFPs last month, but hopefully we have not used all our Pregnancy Panda magic.

jess fingers crossed for you hun.

Hi everybody,

I don't know if any of you will remember me but I have been having a couple of months off TTC (I know - it can't be done) and I am due AF sometime next week (not sure when). If no BFP this month I will be back joining you all on the temping.

I notice lots of BFP's have happened recently - so pleased for you all.

Sorry to hear your back to CD1 Nappy , I hope your feeling okay

jess - fingers crossed for your AF to stay away

mum03 - Hope you are well

Lots of cramps too. BUT we are definately DPO10 so it is +1 on the vitmin experiment. Felt rotten this morning though.

Minxi sorry hun, but it looks like Jess and I will be right behind you so we will all be cycle buddies ;this time round. Does that make it luckier?

12dpo for me and lots of af cramps. No af yet though. I've stopped temping - it's too stressful.

Sorry to see you back at the top minxi.

Hello to everyone else.

Hi all,

Emilyandlola - hi and welcome, I am a somewhat irregular poster here. I find that fertility friend web site is really helpful in giving loads of advice re:temping. Would recommend a visit to you for advice. Feel free to ask questions here too, we are all learning from each other.

Sorry to see duchesse and minxi back to the start again.

Hi to Ready and Rah - good to see you both back again.

Rah - are you keeping us in suspense or is it :{ for you too?

I am not sure if I am post-ov or not. Nothing ties together fertilty friend, gives the interpretation taht ewcm suggest ov between day 13 amd 15. Temps yesterday put me at 3dpo but today that has been removed and I am back to "waiting for ov"! I am sure I am post-ov due to sore (0)(0),but can't say for sure when. Hey I bought 100pg tests couple of weeks back so will just go mad testing every day from next week until af arrives. Just gives me something to do other than painting and decorating.

Ready - thought you'd like to know that our hall-way is now white!!!!

Back to cd1 today - well started last night so....back to it !!!

Hope everyone is ok - must go as busy day

p.s. welcome back Ready....xx

Ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back!! hope all well with you after your break!

Hope everyone else is doing as well as can be - I do miss you all.

Come on June, be as lucky BFP-wise for this thread as May!!

[Welcome EmilyandLola and hello again! - I'm sure these girls will look after you!! They were very supportive for me -finally got my successful BFP after 2 years and 2 mc in Jan, with lots of help and support from this thread!]

Hello Ladies,

I'm TTC atm, my DD is 9 months and DP and I want another.

Stopped taking the pill, but have no idea about my cycle. Some one on another board recommended this thread, any one show me the ropes as it were please.
I have my thermometer at hand...

Warning moan alert
ANOTHER of our NCT group just told me she is preggy (3 have just had their 2nd) . I am really pleased 4 her but at the same time I really want to cry (probably these off the wall hormones). here I am expecting AF any minute and now have to congratulate them (they are coming over 4 dinner). I AM genuinly chuffed for them but at the same time I am hovering on despair that it happens for everyone else without any effort (all 4 have fallen preggy in 1-2 months of trying).

I know I am so lucky to have my darling boy and that most of you are trying for no1 and it was not so long ago that I was where you were and remember the feeling of insecurity and injustice - so sorry if you feel I am being insensitive.

I was the first 1 who was ready to fall pregnant again - and 1 of the first to start trying again. I guess the moral of the story is when people say "oh it is much easier second time round as your body knows what to do" should be locked in a room with the people who say "morning sickness only lasts 12 weeks" as they are usually the people who either a) get pregnant by holding hands or b) breezed thru pregnancy on a glowing cloud or c) BOTH!!!!!!!

RANT OVER

Thanks for letting me dump feel much better. Still no AF though but still feel AFy.
