I'm usualy a 28 exact girl always have been, but i had a very early MC back in march and since then last month i was 32 and this month 22 days.

Im going to use the opk sticks, i did them last month so i dont understand how we missed it

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 16/05/2010 19:49

Hmmmmm, I probably wouldnt trust that . Didnt you say yourself that AF was early this month?
Are you normally very regular?
Do you do anything else to predict ov? (OPK, checking CM etc?)

xkatyx · 16/05/2010 19:11

when i typed in my cycle on the online caculator it said yesterday, also got a pain in my side hmmmmm, i dont have a clue about temps etc, can u use an ear thermometer?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 16/05/2010 18:47

Glad your feeling better Katy.

TBH I can't help with your OV Q. What makes you think that you ov'd yesterday? Do youtake your temps?

xkatyx · 16/05/2010 17:52

Yep alot more positive, hubby said that he only said what he did because he didnt want me to feel under pressure, so thats made me feel more happier.

Hubby has started vitamins, we have looked at all sorts on the internet, postions, times etc, so ready and waiting for next round.

Does anyone know if it's possible to ovulate whilst being on your period? on my chart it said i would ovulate yesterday but im on my af?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 16/05/2010 12:53

Are we all feeling a bit more positive today?
Roll on the next couple of weeks eh?

xkatyx · 15/05/2010 12:45

I'm just so cofussed ifatfirst i am usually a 28 regular girl, but i had a early mc then my cycle was 32 days then this month 22 days, and apparently i should be ovulating today but im on a heavy period flow now .. i honestly could just cry

I will give the fertility friend a go now i think see how it works etc.

DH seams to be all appologectic this morning, even took his vitamin so i dont know, im just so hormonal and upset just dont know what to do with myself today.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 15/05/2010 11:47

My DH has said the same thing too, I'm 31 next month and he's 37 and we're trying for our FIRST. I can tell it gets to him, he's paranoid that he's going to be an old dad, and I'm getting paranoid that my fertility is dwindling

It's so difficult to think about how many kids we'd want as it's such hard work trying to have one!

xkatyx have you tried fertilityfriend.com, even if you don't temp you can still log all your other signs (OPK, CM etc) and it'll tell u your fertile days. You will also be able to tell it your symptoms in your 2WW.
It should tell you when your first cycle day was this month too.

xkatyx · 15/05/2010 10:18

Well my af is well and truely here how deppressing

caija · 14/05/2010 21:03

Aw Katy seen yr previous post bout yr dh, don't worry too much, me and my dp sometimes have tht talk, as he worries about hw I will cope etc after a baby comes, because Jack is ill, and I have suffered severe PND with both kids, but my broodiness and desire for one more bubba overtakes it all, and I think my kids would benefit from another, my nearly 9 yr old dd always asks when we are having another lol, and Jack would maybe be brought on with a baby learning new things and stuff, plus there wouldn't be a big age gap between a new baby and Jack, but obv with my dd there would be quite a gap...plus I am 30 in Jan and still wanna b a young mummyxx

caija · 14/05/2010 20:56

Aw Katy am soo sorry, am still gettin BFN!, and not unusual for my AF to be late unfortunately, I am now 2 days late, and 12 days since last time we bd'd, which was on the 2nd...keep telling myself "Oh maybe it's just not showing up yet" but I know in my heart my AF will be here prob tmrw, defo I think by Sunday..., so shit hey? xx

xkatyx · 14/05/2010 18:49

how strange IAFUDS, you were early like me too. i dont know where too count tuesday ad day 1 or today as my flow is heavier?.
If i type my cycle in on the ovulation predictor that means im ovulating tommrow? but im still on AF

Im not taking any notice of DH i will carry on with what im doing if he wants to stop then we will have to discuss it more, but for now i'll continue as I was.

We BD'd everyday too just dont know what went wrong

Thank you icjeb, you are all great just being here to talk too , thank you

xx

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 14/05/2010 18:23

Aww Katy, perhaps he's just having a rough day too and is jumping the gun a bit.

My AF arrive this morning too which was a shock as it wasnt due till Monday, and there was no build up (am normally a spotty, snappy bitch a few days beforehand).
Back to square one.

I really don't know what else we could have done, BD'd EVERY day for 5 days before OV & once again afterwards for luck that's what's makes it so frustrating!

11 day LP worries me a bit too!

On the positive side it means I can have SEVERAL glasses of vino over the weekend without thinking "am I? Arent I?"

ijceb · 14/05/2010 17:29

xkatyx - just replied to you on your other thread.

All I can say is that I am so, so sorry for you

I really wish there was something that I could do to help. XXX

xkatyx · 14/05/2010 17:06

Ok my period is here i think im so upset, been spotting since tuesday evening so unlike my usual period was just brown (sorry tmi) but today it's pinkish and alot more so AF is here ..

But mostly upset as my Husband who is suppose to want a baby as much as me has decided maybe he doesnt!!!

So all in all a very shitty day and very close to tears

Hows everyone getting on?

ijceb · 14/05/2010 17:00

Caija - when are you due on? are you going to test?

xkatyx - have you tested yet or are you waiting til Saturday?

babylove2 - sorry to hear your news it's so confusing and just typical that the symptoms are the same as AF, but still there's a chance, if your AF isn't normal
