2ww starting now - (may 6th) - join me?

sweetie, have started using FF and it thinks I ovulated on day 9, 11, 12 or possibly not at all(!) - I sneakily fiddled with couple of temps that I thought might not be accurate so we're going with 9 at the moment, which means I need to test on 28th May....

beanie - hope you have a fabulous time in Spain.

2BG, I think logistically it may be a bit tricky next month Why is that the last month of trying? (you don't have to answer I'm just being nosy)

sweetiedarling you need to put the astericks around each word! Thanks for the positive vibes.

Well, it's cd31 of a usually 27-29 day cycle here but I suspect af will arrive within the next 24 hours. Even if it doesn't I'm not testing until Saturday (a la the original plan if I remember rightly).

Hope everyone else isn't manically symptom spotting. Nearly the weekend!

Why can I never get damn * * bold * * type to work?!? I have "surrounded it with astericks"

Babyig - sounds like you are at same point as me. Is also cycle 1, also don't feel like I have ovulated this month unlike previous times as have had no symptoms, but am still crossing fingers! Currently on CD20, going to test a week tomorrow. When are you due to test?

Bamamama - I did test 4 days late last time I was ttc and it showed negative. It only showed +ve after 6 days late, so no AF is still good! Have my fingers crossed for you too.

Beanie hope you enjoy Spain and come back all fired up and ready to go again! x

We're off to sunny Spain, in the mountains.

So sorry AF arrived Beanie, we must of crossed posts before. Enjoy the wine and holiday, where are you going?

Think i was spotty last month aswell, seems so far away and i have convienently forgotten..

I've just realised that if its not the month this month (which i doubt) then next month around ovulation i will be approx 200 miles away from DH for 3 nights and it will be our last month of trying Meant to be going camping with a friend and the kids.....

Another tip for next month, be within 2 inches of hubby for the Weekend ovulation due

PS 2BG I'm also v spotty, but have just remebered was like this last month before AF arrived, and the orange woman who sold me moisturiser made me buy some for oily skin Grrr. Everything sounds SO promising for you though.....

I hope you are wazzed up Babyig - not too long to wait before you can test....

Enjoy the wine Beanie, hope you've put some in the fridge already. Where are you going on holiday? At least maybe being away will make the wait next month a bit less painful. I've just realised AF due to arrive next month on the first few days of our long awaited holiday! Extra pressure to try to stop this happening!

tousletop, Usually there are other signs, lots of cm but not had any of that, which has never happened before - first month of ttc as well (methinks Sod's Law is at work)... had a few cramps yesterday and this morning and feel like AF is on the way, so it may be I'm just having a really short cycle this time, hence the lack of Ov. Or I'm already 'wazzed up' as DH so eloquently put it!

yellowflowers - EPO (evening primrose oil) is supposed to help withthe production of EWCM (Eggwhite Cervical Mucus) which provides a hospitable passage for the sperm. It's also good for PMT etc.

Bamamama - I'll be having a few glasses this weekend no doubt. Am off on Holiday in 3 weeks, sadly I will have ovulated by then so everything everyone says about being able to relax on holiday won't apply to me, will just have to try just before I go!

Beanie - sorry to hear af got you. Hope you're going to have consilatory (sp?) bottle glass of wine.

Well, rather to admit that the tests weren't out of date at all so a BFN. Twice. As I felt duty bound to convince myself with the other test too. I read 20th October 2007 when in fact it should have read 2010 - July (oops) Anyway, CD30 and still no sign of af. Just have to wait it out I suppose as it seems I'm having one of my long cycles. Bugger. Still feel sick, still sore(ish) boobs, still loads of cm. Will have to remember all this for next month. Perhaps that should be a tip - write down all the 'phantom' pg symptoms so we don't go through this month after month.....

Oh can I add I read about a high dairy fat diet to help conception on another thread, so am planning lots of ice cream and chocolate, although this would not be an new thing...
Has anyone tried the new magnum that Gabby from desperate housewives is advertising?

taking Evening primrose oil everyday upto Ovulation..

For those of us that are feeling despondant today, could we try starting a list of things that we think may help us to conceive next month?
I'll start with the 'pillow under bottom' thing, to help the little swimmers in the right direction...
Please, all ideas welcome....

well being congested is and i was with the last two, felt like i had a cold coming. On the other hand mine might be Hayfever not that i have ever had hayfever before.

morning everyone, how are we today?

Any more testing beanie

bamamama did you change your tests?

tousletop any news from you?

Well i've been naughty tested this morning, don't know how or why BFN of course.
AF not due until sunday.

I'm very spotty on my face, they are the ones under the skin so really sore! Nose still snotty and even a little blood on the tissue this morning Never had a nose bleed in my life!
Also my (.)(.) are huge and sensitive.

Not going to test again now until Sunday, will just have to sit on my hands

Beanie that's really crap, I'm sorry. Are you ok?
I'm due today/tomorrow, so I think it would have been a BFP if I was pregnant.

Sorry to hear that Tousletop, when are you due.

Got my period today.

Was determined not to test but couldn't resist this morning and was a BFN. Feel like I've cursed myself by testing early...

Babyig - do you get any ewcm or other signs of ov?

I?m a bit behind the rest of you, but what's annoying is that I?ve had no signs of ovulation this month at all (that I can spot), I?ve always been aware of a ?randy? few days in the past but that doesn?t seem to have happened. I can only conclude that I?ve either not ovulated this month (which would be a first I think ? typical!), have ovulated with no signs or am already pg - but don?t think I?ve had any pg symptoms either. Few cramps today but nothing else I can spot! No sore boobs but that doesn?t run in my family anyway ? they?re immune!!

sorry to hear beanie - although you're probably right, best to assume the worst then you may be in for a nice suprise!

Well, of course despite my good intentions, I tested. BFN. Still, I thought, there's always next month blah blah. It was then I noticed the tests I bought this afternoon were 7 MONTHS OUT OF DATE! I figure this may affect their reliability [hopeful emotion] so I'm now back to square one. Will go and exchange in the morning and try again. Still feek sick on and off, boobs a bit sore and very tired - it's amazing the tricks your mind can play

How's everyone else doing?

Big cyber hugs Beanie. I've still got my fingers crossed for you

I'm going to wait now. Went through this the month before last when my cycle was over 30 days and I kept testing over and over. Think it's best if I just assume the tests are correct and that I'm just not pregnant once again.
