Still here and now hoping for a OCTOBER baby!!! Everyone welcome please join me :)

OMG but you're allowed fucking!?! I didn't even see that - am I missing something?!?!?!?!?

Devils haha i didn't even think about it! Still no AF - thought it arrived today but no it wasn't

have no idea - nothing discernible and mild cramps as far as symptoms go. who knows...

Not hopeful bubble hag cramps and I migraine allday. Think AF is on her way.

Good luck earlynite. Hope AF doesn't turn up.

I admire your patience eeyore, I'd be rubbish and probably test early

I'm now on the 1ww but not holding out much hope for this month. It's now been over 1 year we've been trying to have DC2. [sigh]

Good luck earlynite and eeyore

fingers cross earlynite

Good luck earlynite

bubble The persona is like the clearblue fertility monitor which is marketed as a contraceptive. Basically you tell it when your cycle starts and on certain days it asks you to poas. These measure two hormones oestrogen and LH I think and when they peak it gives you an egg symbol so you know you're oving in the next 1-3 days. It gives you either a green light or a red light depending on how likely it thinks you are to get pg. It remembers your cycle from month to month so that it becomes more accurate over time. It costs £60 for a starter kit and then £8 (off internet, £12 boots) for the sticks each month. However I bought it as a contraceptive and 6 months down the line concieved dd, oops. So I can't recommend it as a contraceptive but I am finding it helpful as an aid to conception. It is not suitable for anyone with PCOS cos of the hormones involved and it doesn't work with cycles under 23 days or over 35 days.

Good luck earlynight! I hope it goes well.
I will be testing on Monday, although I am not really holding out much hope.
Amanda, I am very impressed with your BD marathon! But it seems from what I have read that every other day is really ok, and is in fact more likely to give a successful result because you're less likely to get exhausted and give up too early.

Good luck early night!

Hi everyone!!!! I will be testing tomorrow (if AF doesnt arrive)

bubble some info from FF for you:

Some cervical fluid after ovulation is possible because the corpus luteum, though its main function is to produce progesterone, produces estrogen in small amounts. This may cause you to see some fertile-looking cervical fluid, even after ovulation.

If your temperatures and other signs show clearly that you have already ovulated, then you can be confident that you are no longer fertile. It is also not uncommon to confuse semen and eggwhite or watery cervical fluid. Some women also notice some fertile-looking cervical fluid just before menstruation.

However, if your chart does not show clearly that you have already ovulated (with a clear and sustained thermal shift) do not stop having intercourse. Keep on considering the possibility that you are still fertile as long as you see fertile cervical fluid to make sure you don't miss a chance to conceive.

my frustratingly long cycle means AF isn't due until a week on Sun! CD38! its so annoying although I have to go to the hospital to have some injections for something else next week, and they can't do this if I am PG, so I have to call them to find out if they can do a blood test, so I might find out then!

bubble i know, why can't it be easier, i sometimes feel that my body isn't on my side and keeps sending me mixed signals!
Apparently you can get EWCM during your lutal phase, and if your temp is definitly up then I would say believe FF... HOWEVER bd'ing can't hurt if you are unsure, i mean, whats the worst that can happen, your not fertile but you still get some fun , if you are then great!

Morning bubble, I'd def believe your body, I ov'd twice last month, or rather delayed the first one, coz I was ill. So I'd cover all bases and assume you're oving now. Don't know if FF can account for that.

Morning all, BDed last night and was greeted this morning by an egg symbol on my persona, Hurrah! Just got to keep it going over the next few days, which happens to be the busiest weekend I've had in a year, but nevermind. I've worked out I could test on the 9th feb which is my mates due date, so that would be really nice if I could know I was pg when hers is born, assuming they don't come early that is!

rubybuck, are you shitting me? of course you aren't fucking allowed to write cr@p

lol

I am itching to test!! AF due Saturday. I did a test a couple of days ago which was negative of course. Don't think this is my month as I feel very pre-mens. This is only my 1st month of TTC and I am a wreck already! Never had this with DS as he was a slip up (so to speak) xxxx

Hi everybody! I posted a message the other night but now it doesn't seem to be there. I put cr@p in it - is that allowed?

Work has been rubbish this week. I have been very emotional - possibly PMT and mild cramps which I think is signalling the arrival of AF boo . No other real symptoms. There is the odd one which I could probably fabricate but really nothing major. All will be revealed in the next few days. I am going to wait for AF to be totally late before testing, after last months BFP followed by AF bang on time, which is getting harder and harder every day. Step away from the pregnancy test! I only have one and it was well expensive and I don't actually have any more money till i get paid next week so I am going to have to wait! Probably a good thing.

theboob - lol your DH poas!!!
Good luck to everyone else testing and boo to all the BFNs/AFs. This TTC lark is a right minefield!

Thanks ANGEL and CAZZA think i ovulated on cd 12 ish had loads of ewcm and cramps. Thats me done then for at least a week!! Good luck to everyone whose testing over the next few days.

ok I am off again until Monday (unless I get that stupid machine working at home!) Catz looking forward to your news and hopefully will have some myself. I have decided to go with positive thiking this month.

Good weekend and lots of baby dust to all xx
