Can i join in? Am ttc#2. Have no idea what day of cycle but know af is due in next 7 days. HAve been feeling nauseous, funny taste in mouth, coffee smelt foul this afternoon. But am not holding breath as last 3 months I have had pms that has mirrored these early pg signs. Though did bd around ish ov day. You never know. fingers crossed for all.

I'm due next Thursday too...second cycle ttc.No symptons whatsoever yet...could do with some support to not test early as last month drove me bonkers....got a positive then negatives then period came. Promising myself to wait at least until due date this time but I doubt I will be able to.

does the fertility monitor work if you have poly cystic ovaries?

it works my detecting the rise of estrogen and then a rise in LH. so, you get a couple of days of high followed by the peak day. so all in all, you have about 5 days where you are fertile. and so cue for BDing!

this site explains it so much better!

hopefully we both dont have to be ovulation testing anymore next month

Yes, I had an MC in March 2006, and no joy since apparently I stopped ovulating
