HI, I'm now CD25 and couldn't really tell ya when I OV'd possible last thursday - however DH was away from tues til friday last week - but we did BD on the Monday night, so hoping I had enough in reserve by weds! We caught up again on Friday but could have been too late. Fingers crossed anyway.

LullyMummaOfOne · 03/06/2008 09:10

Just letting you all know im still here, its now CD15. Had a good weekend with hubby but to be honest im not sure when i have ov. I cant seem to get to grips with knowing my own body!! I bought Boots's OV test kit and started it on Sat with was CD12 but they have all come back negative.
My fingers are crossed for us all this month, welcome to all the new comers. Xx

Just dropping in to wave a quick hello

10dpo today and FF has given me a possible triphasic on cd19 here if anyone is nosy enough

good luck to everyone else!

ohjoy · 03/06/2008 07:46

hi tink, fingers crossed for you

hi queenie, from what little i know, the tests you should push for are the DY3 FSH, and also 6dpo progesterone levels. the FSH apparently tells you your ovarian reserve (eggs) and the 6dpo progesterone will tell you whether the uterine lining is thick enough to sustain embryo. and also it tells whether you have actually ovulated or not.

i assume your periods are regular?

good luck with your appt!

tink08 · 03/06/2008 07:38

hi all tested again this morning 48 hours from last one but still bfn ! still no af symptoms or cramps tho so thats a gud sign ? i've just started a new job this week so maybe its the life change delaying af i dont know i hope it is my month . i fell with dd1 a week after i started a new job maybe this will be the same ! x

Nellstar · 02/06/2008 18:29

Good luck queenie, push for as much as poss if I were you. My sis ttc for years and was fobbed off by the doctor so many times. Meanwhile the years rolled on. She then finally got an ultrasound which showed huge fibroids. So an operation followed and then two failed IVF attempts, but they hadn't checked her progesterone levels. A different clinic just told her they are nowhere near high enough tc anyway. She's now been put on injections. She's so angry about the years the doctors fobbed her off. I am so sorry for your m/c's. It is devastating. It's good your doctor suggested the appointment. Good luck and thanks for the welcome!

queenie1 · 02/06/2008 18:05

Hi LastBox, Chociedoo and Nellstar! Good to have more recruits as the success of this thread means there are less of us still ttc. All a good thing...lets keep our spirits up with the luckiness of this thread!

I just looked in diary and realised I am due to see my doctor tomorrow to talk about ttc after two MCs and possible CP over the past year...don't know what to ask (push?) for, really, but just feel that after a year of all this they must be able to help me in some way. Anyway, it was the doctor who suggested this appointment so don't feel too neurotic. wish me luck and will keep you posted.

Heron23 · 02/06/2008 17:56

hi lastbox, choccie and nellstar, welcome!
fingers crossed for all of you

i have also seen the First Response test kits promising to detect 6 days early!

OP posts:
Nellstar · 02/06/2008 15:58

Can I join too? Am CD 25 but didn't ov til CD20 I think. Like chocciedooby cycle (norm 28 days) all messed up because of miscarriage in March. My temps haven't risen that much but maybe they're not too accurate as DS1 wakes me up horribly early most mornings. Am compulsively buying First Response preg test kits, very foolish of me. Fell for the 'test 6 days early' nonsense. How is 'if you expect your period on the 21st you can test on 17th' 6 days early? Am idiotic marketing man's best friend.

chocciedooby · 02/06/2008 15:12

Will be following this thread for all you hopefuls.
Good Luck Tink!

chocciedooby · 02/06/2008 15:11

Hi everyone.Can I join?
Not due until around the 15th!
My cycle is a bit messed up the last couple of months due to suspected ectopic in April that was never really confirmed...not sure what happended really. Anyway, I think I ovulated on day 12 and now I'm on day 15 (I know its early days!!) and I have abdominal cramping. Hoping this lucky thread rubs off on me

lastboxoftampons · 02/06/2008 12:44

Hi All - can I join you again? made a brief appearance last month as PrePG - back again with a brighter outlook, hence the new name.

4dpo today with a huge temp drop today must be a fallback rise. TBH not too optimistic this month as we didn't time things as well as we had previous cycles, so therefore not obsessing as much as I usually would. Plus, last cycle I thought I had classic symptoms and period arrived earlier than usual!

ohjoy · 02/06/2008 11:59

hi beckmo, i am so undecided about whether to have the scan at 6+1 weeks or wait longer...

anyway, i can see the pros and cons of waiting and not waiting.

my main concern is making sure my little bean is at the right place...

ohjoy · 02/06/2008 11:58

Hello! LOTS of Babydust to you all waiting for AF!!!

this is a lucky thread and here's hoping it rubs off on all of you

Meeely2 · 02/06/2008 11:54

HI all, AF due on the 10th, so AGES away, but wish me luck!

queenie1 · 02/06/2008 11:51

Hi all

Congratulations to Knax and Roquefort!!! You must be so delighted. V. exciting, and yes, what a lucky thread. Lets hoping it rubs off...

LMD - sorry to hear about AF. At least we can hand hold together next month. Your list of activities sounds exhausting. I'm restarting yoga this week but that is probably my lot. Oh, and crucially, intend to BD every other day this month...Can everyone else wish us lots of baby dust please?

xx

beckmo · 02/06/2008 10:02

Oh and Knax!Blimey this is a lucky thread1

beckmo · 02/06/2008 09:58

I had a 6 week scan with DD due to stomach cramps and it was inconclusive really-everything was in the right place but it was too early to detect a heartbeat so I left still worried. Because of that I would wait until 8 weeks if you have a choice. It just gives the bean a little bit more time to develop. Whatever you all do I hope the scans go well.Think I will hold out until 12 weeks but not sure. And congrats Roque!

good morning all!

hi roque, if you are in london, i can tell you where you can get a scan earlier than 8 weeks. how are you feeling today? how's your little bean?

hi little, sounds like you have very good plan for getting your BFP!!! good luck and fingers crossed for you!

yes i am a bit nervous and very excited about the scan on fri. although, i am thinking, perhaps i should wait another week? what if it is a bit too early, and they dont see the heartbeat? then it will be an agonising waiting another week for another scan? (not to mention the cost!)

embarassed to say but i am still doing HPTs!
the test line is now darker than the control line!

have a good day everyone !

littlemissdaisy · 01/06/2008 20:08

Roquefortlover CONGRATULATIONS

Knax Sorry your (.)(.)'s are a little bit sore, its all good signs tho.

Heron Good luck for your scan on Friday you must be excited(and a little bit scared)

Tink Still got my fingers crossed for you, when are you gonna test again??

Queenie Where are you lurking

Squack Also got my fingers crossed for you

Well I finally got my AF Today CD41, I have never been so glad to see the old bag, I spent yesterday swinging through the trees from a harness at GO APE and did a 4 mile walk today, I am going to become a fitness freak and try and loose some weight, I will be back on the clomid tomorrow CD's 2-7, Im also gonna start temping,oh god and use my new clearblue fertility monitor, I have also joined the gym, spinning and swimming on a Monday night and aqua gym on a Thursday (God that all sounds a bit manic doesn't it??) This will be my month

roquefortlover · 01/06/2008 19:23

Thanks for congrats heron, tink, knax - i am still a bit in shock i think as had assumed no go this month!! Still, 3 HPTs do not lie.... I don't want to get too excited though, so although I'd like to join a preg thread i don't feel brave enough yet...maybe leave it a couple of weeks. I would really like an early scan too, will have to pay of course but it would be v reassuring. I have googled it and many places seem to offer one at 8 weeks so i reckon I can wait that long. Feeling v queasy today, don't remember it this early with other pregnancies. i have 2 very busy weeks at work ahead so am hoping i am not too sick until after that when I can have a rest!

Heron23 · 01/06/2008 18:46

hi knax, i know what you mean about boobs being so sore. DS knocked them accidentally today and i had to bite my lip!
i am also rather on tenterhooks, i have booked a scan for fri (i will be 6+1 weeks). i am considering whether i should go ahead with it or postpone to 7+1 weeks.
