Do you usually have a slight bleed inbetween periods? if not i would say that is one big sign

Good luck

I've had some really weird symptoms, AF due Mon 10th so not long to go now. I had some implantation bleeding ??? (I hope) last week and have been feeling nauseous and dizzy since last weekend.
I have been taking folic acid for 5 months now in preparation - I did have some lightheaded when I first started on these, has anyone else had any side effects from Folic Acid? X

xkatyx · 05/05/2010 11:06

ifatfirst yep im so crazy lol symptom sptting loads, lots of low shooting pains, lots of discharge, and very slight sore boobs

yes roll on 15th, i doubt ill wait till then i already did one this morning to caija oop's. i have bought a load of cheapies of ebay so they are asking ti be used lol.

Also caija it only takes once and sperm lives for 5 days so fingers crossed.

caija · 05/05/2010 08:51

xkatyx - thanks so much, you have been really helpful.
Had a look at that POAS site which really helped Apparently it is possible to get a +OPK and then something like stress can put off the egg release. It seems as though I just have to be patient.

Roll on 15th of May eh? (That's when I should be due too - providing I havent been delayed too much).

Keep us updated with your symptom spotting!

xkatyx · 04/05/2010 19:45

I'm with you there ifatfirst my first month charting, im usually at 27 day girl but my last period was 31 from a early MC the month before.

So i thought i would try the OPK and finished my period saturday and got a positive Tuesday straight after till Thursday then it went negative, so we done the deed all week and stopped on Sunday.

I do know that you coulnt the 1st day you got a postive and do the deed that day and 3 days after as the "surge" means the egg is comming and usually does 12-32 hours after you get your first positive (hope that makes sense)

So if im right in thinking i got my surge tuesday so assuming mine was wednesday has i had pain in side etc so i should be 7dpo, cd17.

But im all confussed my slef as i have (sorry tmi) lots of white discharge and cramps , am i now ovulating or what ahhhh, if i am ive missed it as im def not in any mood to be making babies libido has all of a sudden gone!!

Stress can def delay ov, but if you have had a positive go with that just take it from the first day you got a positive and few days after.

peaonastick.com is brilliant have a look online there, they explain all about surges etc.

We sound like we are roughly die af same time? mine is 15th may hope it doesnt come.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 04/05/2010 19:02

What day are you on xkatyx?

I'm not quite at the symptom spotting stage yet, not sure if I've even ovulated yet even though I'm on CD18.

This has been my first month charting and I'm so-o-o-o confused

I am normally VERY regular (28 day cycle), so DH & I have been SWIing since last Tuesday. Got a positive OPK on Friday but temps havent done anything distinctive. Don't know if we should call it a day for this month or keep going. Kept using the OPKs which kept giving a positive result until this morning (negative this afternoon).

Had some bad news on Friday which has stressed me out over the weekend, and I know stress can delay OV, but can it so late in the day (ie after +OPK)?

xkatyx · 04/05/2010 10:10

so has anyone been symptom spotting yet i have.

caija · 03/05/2010 18:46

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 03/05/2010 18:30

I seem to have been taking them for about a year

xkatyx · 02/05/2010 18:59

I have been taking mine for a few weeks :-)

caija · 02/05/2010 16:27

God, I hope so, I just randomly went and took a folic acid tablet, hope tht is a good sign, I haven't been taking them...x

Good luck to you, i'm sure everything will be fine.

I feel the same i fell pregnnt with my 2 first time, i was so lucky, cant see how i would be as lucky 3rd time round, hope so.

Laces · 30/04/2010 22:52

fairly easily, dd was 3rd month of trying after coming off the pill, ds was second month of trying. Not planning on it happening as quickly this time, had a few problems after having ds and not convinced it will all run smoothly, or maybe even happen at all this time, hence trying to remain fairly laid back about it all! We'll see if i'm still saying that in a couple of months time, shall we???

xkatyx · 30/04/2010 20:41

Yeah my hubby is working night's at the moment and with 2 other kiddies it hard to "try" in the day.

Did you fall prgnant with you 2dc easily?

Laces · 30/04/2010 20:37

Thanks xkatyx don't know if we have much of a chance this month, 1st month trying and hubby is having to work away quite a bit, so just having to keep at it when we can but coz its only our first month I'm not stressing about it too much at the moment, it'll happen when it happens!

xkatyx · 30/04/2010 18:05

Hi Laces, same as me baby no 3, and im a 27-28 cycle, due on 15th of may.

I think i have already ovulated, i peed on a stick and got a positive Tuesday so been at it everyday since

good luck to you.

Laces · 30/04/2010 17:38

Hi!
Wow, so this is my first post on here! Just wondering if it's too late for me to join you all? 1st day of this months cycle was 16th April, so cd 14 today, think I ov'd today or yesterday, usually have 27-28 day cycles, so due to test around 14th May, so around the same dates as some of you, I am also trying for #3, dd is 5 and ds is 3, we have waited a long time to be able to start ttc, due to various reasons, it just wasn't the right time, never joined a forum when ttc or pregnant with my first 2, so looking forward to getting to know a few of you!

xkatyx · 28/04/2010 21:15

We are still going at it, have been since sunday i tested posiyive on my ovulation stick yesterday so i have been told the next 3 days are a must .. must admit my insides are a tad tender lol .. hope we can carry on for the next important days.

We sound like we have roughly the same dates

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 28/04/2010 20:41

xkatyx, i'm jumping on the have sex everyday approach.
It worked for me a few months ago before M/C. Yesterday was the first of a very active week

I know it's a bit late as you posted your message yesterday, but I would have gone for it straight away!!
