Still TTC, PPP and waiting to CCC - one down, and more than enough optimism to go around!

Hello, broodybabywannabee suggested i post on here and recommends diege is a authority on all things fertility! Anyway I was just wondering if anyone has experience of home fertility test kits.

We're heading into cycle 5 which I know isn't a long time compared to some people but we're both in our 30s (and TTC #1) and I'm worrying myself that there's a problem but obviously we'll need to be trying for at least a year to get any help from the doctor. So I was considering getting us both a home test kit just to help ease the worries - any advice?

Thank you x

I dont know why I bothered starting a thread about it as all some people have done is said the MW is wrong and it cant be implantation.

What would you do? Would you trust the MW at the EPU?

k glad that you have got an answer

um i say this with no actual knowledge but yes sounds gd to me

diege said it was but i am needy and need everyone to say yes it is

oh kay i had bleeding in early pg with dd and she was fine. Try not to worry and if you are at all worried then call your local delivery suite they should be able to help you....

Ok so I have had a crap weekend on gof so tired and me and dp have been arguing all weekend (i know we are crap).

Teuch I asked on Sat but just need confirmation from our expert. On a 28 day cycle is the last day that you can possibly ov day 18?? (please say it is)..

WOOOHOOO!!!

Rang EPU and they said its a implantation bleed and very very common at this stage of pregnancy.

I feel like an idiot!

Im going to ring the EPU instead.

hmm well better safe than sorry x

Apparently Scarborough does have an EPU but I'm on the phone to NHS direct but all I have is awful music.

oh thats gd then kays, just rest up !!! docs orders!!

I feel fine in myself, no cramping really just what feels like normal growing pains that I have had for the past few days. There isn't an EPU near here. It was really a tiny amount of discharge, hardly visable and not had anymore at all.

Kay, try not to worry (I know that is almost impossible ) but this can really be very common.

If you would rather speak to someone then please do.

Do you have an EPU nearby? It is possible that you could speak to a midwife over the phone there. Be prepared to give as much detail as possible...do you have any cramps, how much discharge was there (i.e. on the toilet paper, on your knickers, a teaspoonful?), when did it start and have you had any more since?

If no EPU, phone your GP practice and ask for a phone number for a midwife, or phone NHS Direct and ask to speak to one.

aw kays cant you ask to see your gp? it'l do you no gd sitting worrying? do you feel ok? you havent knocked yourself or anything? x

No because the MW is only here on Wednesdays and Thursdays because she is the MW for the whole area. I feel really sick now.

Kays try not to worry, that said i know you will still worry its only natural, cant you ask for earlier apt to put your mind at rest?

Hi everyone.

Good luck with your temping BB.

Feeling a bit scared. I had a tiny amount of very very light pink discharge and I'm worried its going to turn into blood.

Got my MW appointment on Wednesday so I will ask her what it is.

Hope you are all ok and good luck for tomorrow GJ.

lol GJ i love it "its britain out there" i will use that me thinks

Hoping temping will make me feel more positive and make waiting easier lol x

i just bought my thermometer!!! sign me up!! x

Morning all

Busy house again as I have more guests. Just flying by to say 'alright?'

Interesting that a few of you are going for temping - it is, apparently, the most accurate way of telling when you have ovulated - the downside being that you only know once it has happened, but I suppose you get very tuned into the signs.

I was using OPK's for a couple of months, but if you have a dodgy cycle at all, then they can be confusing, as you can have more than 1 LH surge and that des not mean that you have actually OV'd .

Not using this month, but found one in the drawer so, of course, I used it and got a faint line (negative)...now I need to co and check that I still got faint lines after OV in previous months as I was sure I OV'd on Friday!!

Anyway...listen GJ, I know the frustration is difficult but wait until you and DP have had your chat tomorrow. It is not worth risking your relationship for the matter of a good heart-to-heart, or a few months if it comes to that.

It is an overwhelming urge, and you need to help DP to understand that!

thanks tink i will start tomo

morning ladies gj your weekend sounds good*bb when temping need a digital thermometer got mine on ebay for £4 is a babymad one
you have to take temp same time in morning when you wake up and before moving
i set alarm for 7:15 and do it then
k sorry that you are so cold passes over blanket, slippers and hot chocolate
john barrowman should heat you up lol

Morning everyone.

I'm bloody freezing this morning. Its horrible and I'm exhausted.

Just watching 'I'd do anything' that I recorded Saturday night. John Barrowman is so cute.

Hope everyone is ok today.
