No AF for me yet, CD 30 very odd - still bloated but much more comfy than last night. Surely would have had a positive result by now if I was PG?

going to see my Dr on wednesday, going to tell him I want his help trying to convieve, and that since i blame him for poor info re the depro jab - he better help me"!!!!

Hope all well - DH is away til 31st of July, rubbish!

Any news Jools? Has AF arrived?

Everything's crossed that she's stayed away.

I am def still trying re swine flu. sod's law it'll get me the month I get pregnant.

kitty - I am confused. Why not trying for a year?

I would def go to docs daisydot

sorry c1ndy x-posted! I kind of think you can't put your life on hold for swine flu. But that is just my take on it - I guess we all have to do what feels right to us?

That's odd isn't it... maybe go to doctor? Although I guess there isn't much they can do...

That's a good way of looking at MC... My MC was April too.

I was CD 29 of a 27 - 30 day cycle.. so quite fast.. although did get a BFN on CD 27 I think... Not sure which day I ov'd for sure - but think was CD15 - so was 14 dpo..

It's the waiting that is so frustrating..

Am going to try opks this month.. have decided!

C1ndy hello!

Iggy - No it's always been reasonably predictable. Always between 25 and 27 days, quite short and straightforward.

Since I've been temping, ovulation has been really clearly indicated between day 13 and day 17. This month it was on day 19.

The certainty about ovulation has taken a weight off my mind - at least it's happening! And although the miscarriage in April was sad, it has set my mind at rest to an extent in that at least I have proof everything is working as it should.

How soon did you get your BFP in February?

I honestly don't think I am pg this month, but wish I could find out for sure so I can get on with the next attempt.

daisydot as you say - while no AF there is hope! Some people don't get positive test for a while do they?

I know what you mean about not knowing if you are or not because you haven't ever been. That was what I was like - in fact I definately didn't think I was PG back in Feb and the BFP was actually a shock (even though had been trying and ont his thread ) Sadly I had a MC - which has made me over analyse every little sign every month since then..

Is your cycle ever strange normally?

Oh Jools - I so know how you're feeling! I'm sorry about the test; but it may well be too early. For as long as there's no AF, there's still a glimmer of hope.

I'm on CD44 now ... and still no sign.

When should I brave the doctors? I really, really don't want him to make me feel like an over-reacting, ageing loon.

ooh exciting - I missed the recruitment drive and now there are lots of new people welcome everyone!

kitty nice to hear from you! Hope proposal is soon!

yellow good luck for BD fest

jools I really thought it was my month too but am still keeping things crossed fro you as you don't know till AF arrives

AF got me on Thursday night so am now back to CD4 - have been v. sad about it all this month - determined to be cheery now!

Going to update list now!

WOWEEE

Jut popped in to see how you all are and i see you have lots of lovely new ladies on board. Welcome Rachxx Pinkjenny daisydotandgertie engelbart onlywantsone Llaurieloo and Vikks*
Good work on the recruitment front C1ndy Broodzilla congrats on baby boy
Wasabi congrats on scan, all going well, v pleased for you!
Jules thanks for keeping me on the list i wont be trying for about a year but like to hear how you are all doing and will deffo be returning

no news with me as such. Still waiting for the proposal but i know its imminent and cant wait to get planning

ttfn x

Thanks for the advice Engelbart, I?ve just ordered one! We?ll try anything?.right? Sounds pretty good, I was just about to order some more OPK sticks anyway so I?ll give the Clearblue a go. Have you got to start using it at the beginning of a new cycle?

I?m having surgery on Friday, so I?m pinning my hopes on that getting me ovulating properly, I guess I?ll know now with the new kit! x

Vikks have you tried the clearblue fertility monitor? This is more sensitive than the OPK tests I think. I'm biased as I've been using one for the past 3 months. It tells you if you have ovulated, when you're due to ovulate etc. It takes away any doubt ie whether you've ovulated that month.

Joolsiam ? Sorry to hear about your test. We all know what that feels like, especially when you?ve had a good feeling about the month.
Engelbart ? Fingers crossed for you, you?re still 9 days away?.

I?m CD19 today and as usual I think I?ve not ovulated again! I?ve been taking OPK tests for a week (all negative) and my temperature has been going up for the last 3 days? What do you think?

sorry that should have been at your BFN Joolsiam, you can tell I haven't woken up properly...

[bfn] joolsiam, disappointing doesn't really cover it does it?

Good luck for the forthcoming bding yellowflowers, hope you get lots in!

9 days til AF due. Last month I had terrible stomach cramps during the whole 2WW and was worried something major wrong. This month has been OK so hoping that was a one off. As usual my left boob aching which is always a sign for me that I'm NOT pregnant. Sigh.

oh no jools - i'm sorry. Still maybe too early though.

BFN on First Response this morning. I wasn't sure if AF was due yesterday or today, but am now assuming she is arriving today.

I still have loads of symptoms, but can only assume that I must have some kind of bug I hate the way our bodies deceive us I had a few days over the past fortnight where I actually allowed myself to imagaine being PG

Hi all - how's everyone doing?

I am now about cd 11 so need to start the bd. Have also forgotten to take temp for three days running! I've had very odd feeling nipples this weekend - def could describe them as 'fizzy' - but as I had very heavy period with severe cramping so recently and not had sex sine there is no way I am pregnant.
x

OnlyWants - well, it sounds really hopeful to me. I'm no authority, but all the symptoms you describe point in the same hopeful direction. Where's your bump?

I'm definitely not any good on how long it takes to get a positive HPT - I'm now 24 dpo and no sign of anything useful at all. I have read you can be as much as 8 weeks pg before you get a positive HPT.

I'd try waiting for a week before you do another test.

I don't think I'd last that long though .

daisy - so there is a chance that I could be PG?

even though DH and I havent BD since the 14th??? Surely 2 weeks on I would get a positive result?

Im really bloated and uncomfortable, my normally flat tummy looks about 4 months PG, I actually have a hard bump (which my mother so kindly remarked on earlier how kind)

Whilst bathing DD I remembered, I had this when I was PG with her, I think it was all gas and lasted two or three days - could this be a sign?????

When should I test again? Or wait for AF?

Jools - I recommend cutting the grass in the rain (petrol mower of course) for a distraction. It took bloody hours and was v hard work.

I then whiled away another hour or so poking our broody chicken to see if she's managed to hatch any eggs yet!

Amazing how much time I've managed to waste while distracting myself!

OnlyWantsOne - it's sounding very positive for you; the hormone surges may be what affected the OPK.

Our temps are identical at the moment - not a clue what that means though!
