I can't join the clomid threads (although i suspect i'll probably be joining at some point), not 1st time TTC, can't use clearblue digital fertility monitor,so not on that thread, not over 40. Anyone else want to join me on a thread for people who don't fit in with the others.

I'm waiting at the moment to go for an ovarian scan to see if I have PCOS.

Well, can I join this thread too? It's my son's first birthday today and my husband and I have decided to start trying for number 2! (And I, too, don't fit the other threads.)

Hi sparechange, I think ive worked it out right, i should be testing about this time next week, i really dont feel pregnant though, but im hoping to get a nice surprise. I think i did ovulate as i had the signs for it, had dull pains in my uterus area the other day, i really really dont want to go through another month of timed sex and hideous waiting

will let you know how the testing goes next week. x

sparechange · 28/10/2009 15:31

hello ladies,
Anyone got any good news?
I've just done the ovulation calander thing and realised I should have ovd this week, but haven't had any symptoms
The rational part of my brain is telling me it is because I'm still irregular after the pill
And the crazy bit is telling me I must be pg.. I'm half tempted to test tonight...

TishTosh21 · 22/10/2009 20:35

Think i might be ovulating atm, not too sure though, its now day 16 since first day of period and have really bad pains earlier, felt a bit like period pains but thought it was too early for them so not sure what they were.

Hello all. I have PCOS and a prescription for Metformin. Any news from anyone else?

I've already had a blood test but because my cycles are so irregular it won't be conclusive, but should hopefully give a better indication than previous test. Think i'll be referred to fertility unit.

I'm jump over to a bar thread. anyone care to join me?

sparechange · 15/10/2009 10:09

Choufleur, will the blood test be able to give you a conclusive answer?
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
We all seem to be having a shitty time of it this month

so went back to Dr this morning for scan results. They were inconclusive "can't rule out PCOS" but obviously can't rule it in either. Going for another blood test tomorrow as that will be day 21.

keep going sparechange - at least you know now roughly when you need to be trying

OP posts:
TishTosh21 · 14/10/2009 17:35

Its a horrible feeling isnt it?
Better luck next month, keeping my fingers crossed for you

sparechange · 14/10/2009 11:29

Morning all
No prizes for guessing what turned up this morning
Oh well, at least I have some firmer dates to work with now.

TishTosh21 · 13/10/2009 17:21

Vivid dreams are a good sign! I was dreaming that i was either preg or giving birth or holiding a little baby. Then i woke up

I really really hope you get the answer you want. [hugs]

sparechange · 13/10/2009 13:54

I've just been having a look back through my diary, and I think I ovd on 4/5th this month
Which would roughly mean AF is due early next week
So I have made the executive decision to definitely test next Monday/Tuesday (assuming AF hasn't given me a BFN already!!)

I had a really, really vivid dream last night that I got a BFP and woke up all excited. I was even tempted to go via boots on my way to work this morning, but it was shut.
I'll report back on Monday - keep your fingers cross for me.

TishTosh21 · 12/10/2009 17:40

Thanks sparechange hope you get some good news too. Ive done that bottling out too, i bought it in the end though, too bad it gave me bad news.
Keep me updated on any changes with you

sparechange · 12/10/2009 13:51

Hi Tishtosh,
Sorry to hear AF arrived, but at least you know everything is in working order...
Still nothing from me. I even went as far as to go to boots on Saturday and pick a test up off the shelf, but bottled it and put it back!!
I'm going to give it another week and then test, I think. If nothing else, I need to know if I can book up a skiing holiday for next year...
Fingers crossed for everyone else. I hope someone gets some exciting news soon...

chixslypixsly · 12/10/2009 13:31

Hi Ladies,

Can I join in too? I've looked on MN lots in the past but never really joined in the whole thread thing - so I thought it was time to change that!

We're TTC no.2 and have been doing so for about 12 months now (with a break in the middle to move house!) We were just going for the "see what happens" angle too but tried OPK's this month so now we wait! I have a DS who's 4 and we conceived him 2 months in, kind of figured this would just happen like that too!

Good luck to all of you ladies & hope I get some too!

TishTosh21 · 10/10/2009 18:06

Good luck grumpyfish, keep us informed of any (hopefully good) news!

GrumpyFish · 10/10/2009 13:23

Hello, can I join too? Am a bit of a MN lurker .

We have been TTC for 6 months (3 months of "see what happens", 3 months of taking it very seriously!). Am in my early thirties, have 14 month old DS, was pg first month we tried last time. On CD 18 now and keeping my fingers crossed for this month...

TishTosh21 · 07/10/2009 20:56

Yeah mine looks like its quite standard 28/29 days. hoping for better luck next month.

yama · 07/10/2009 20:50

That's a shame TishTosh.

My dates were always 37 days but since July have been more frequent so goodness knows what's going on.

Will just wait and see I suppose.

TishTosh21 · 07/10/2009 19:22

Hi guys, got bad news im afraid, AF arrived this morning was really upset but trying to look on the bright side at least i know my dates now.

Hope things are going well for you all. lay any news from you??

Hello decaf.

I've just realised that this thread title doesn't actually make sense. I think i'd had a couple of glasses of wine when i started it.

decafgirl · 06/10/2009 21:05

Hello ladies, mind if I join too? I'm an old hand at this mumsnet thing but really don't fit in anywhere else now. My DS is 2 now and I'm planning to start taking my compulsory 3 months of FA on the 1st of Nov.

Am starting to get v excited. I didn't go back on the pill after having my little one but I do remember it taking 6 weeks to get a 'real' period if that's any help to you.

Will keep my fingers crossed for those of you TTC 'proper' good luck!

Decaf xx
