TTC#1 Cycle 1 AF due 16th April (ish)

Im a bit like Buggerluggs in that my AF is all over the place, averaging about 60cd since i came off the pill last July. Did an opk on 31st March and it had a really strong line, so im predicting AF would be about 16th April (if im not pg of course). Do you think this would be about right?

Hi elliebelly welcome and good luck for this month.

I'm having a mini panic as just used an OPK and got a positive which is really odd as it's CD13 which is really early for me, it's normally CD19. It's good as CD13 means I might be getting into a 28 day cycle but it's thrown all my weekend plans out and DP is not here tonight and won't be back till tomorrow - panic! Hope i'm not too late.

I'm going to test again in the morning i do have some pg symptoms but worried its just my body playing tricks im starting to get my hopes up now and sooo worried im going to wake up and find af has arrived :-(

Just updated stats

Ooops I did those stats wrong, maybe someone can correct them for me sorry.

hi COD, hope AF stays away. I think your definitly at the worst part of the cycle, you just need to know at that point - it drives you mad.

OOOh louise thanks so much i have downloaded that. Its nice to know that you have some idea about whats going on in your body and when is the right time to try, as its really hit and miss at the moment, and cheaper than those blasted CB fertility sticks.

Hi can I have a seat on your bus?

Dp has just agreed to TTC no2 This month will be our first cycle

Everytime I take a look we have some more newbies

welcome levana blue and ellie welcome aboard the bus, sorry If I've missed anyone.
Cd13 for me today and hubby is asleep on the sofa arghhh have dtd a few times over the weekend so hoping it's enough, will carry onto next week just incase :)

Thank you

Just realised I forgot to put my stats!

TTC #2 cycles 1 AF due 9th may

Aaarrggghhh af arrived this morning :-( oh well here's to the next one! Good luck everyone

Louise I use Iperiod. Used it to track my cycle anyway before TTC and the ov days always came around the time of EWCM so am hoping putting both those things together and DP Sperm at the right time we'll have a BFP by the middle of next week :)

Welcome newbies.

COD Sorry see AF has made her entry, sending luck for next month

Pigletmania , it's my fave Iphone app by far, I especially like the bit where you can put how you are feeling eg pissed off. Ive spent many a meeting taking a peak at my app before I overreact!!
As it also countsdown to your period you know exactly how many days left before you can test.
Good luck with it all!
Louise

Hello all, can I join you? We are TTC number 2 and are on our 4th month of trying. I am nearly 37, DD is 22 months and I think I am due around the 28th. I got a positive opk this morning so will need to get to it over the next few days I think but I had loads of EWCM yesterday so am not sure when OV will/has happened.

Good luck to everyone else waiting to test this month.

Hello all. I'm a bit baffled by this 'bus' malarkey, but am a sociable sort so always looking for places to hang out :-)
Dh and I just started trying for #1 We're keeping things pretty low tech for now - just lots of shagging and folic acid and see how things go.
recognise a few people on here (hi girls!) and looking forward to getting to know the rest of you.

I'm 28, from Oxfordshire, married 2 1/2 years and working as a freelance PR consultant... Anything else you want to know, just ask!

Having quite sharp stabby pains in lower left belly today. Period started on 7th, so it can't be ovulation pains can it? I suspect over-enthusiastic attempts at conception personally, but we'll see.

Am also craving coffee even though I hardly ever drink it - bizarre. I do have to admit that this whole TTC is bringing my latent hypochondria to the fore rather... can you tell?

Afternoon Everyone

Is it ok if I hop on? Got thrown off the December bus by a chemical pregnancy, but AF has been and gone, and am ready to get going again

Hello ventoux makescakes (please bring some cakes next time we see you lol!!!)

Welcome Maybe lovely to see you jumping back to it,

Hubby did not get up off the sofa in time, cd15 so now offically in my 2ww Will try and dtd a couple more times just to be sure!!!

Waiting how are you feeling any symptoms yet???

Hello, can I hop on too? I'm 31 and TTC DC 2, on fifth cycle now, so taking a bit longer than I hoped. CD 14 now so about to enter the interminable 2WW and determined to waste less money on ridiculous early tests than last few months!
I'm also from Oxfordshire and DD is 19 months old and currently has a sickness bug which has made SWI a bit tricky but we did our best {grin}
Good luck to everyone

Hello blue welcome on board, im also on cycle 5 and also taking longer than i hoped my other 2 dc were concieved on cycle 4

Have resorted to more desperate measures, just before i conceived #1 I went to turkey and visited St Mary's house, I tied a ribbon to the fence which was supposed to increase fertility and purchased a statue of a man with a big willy and a bottle of holy water, I concieved straight away after returning home, I also had them out in my bedroom when I concieved #2, so Im hoping that as ive dug them out again I will be lucky at the end of the month, I also lent them to one of our friends and they got preg very quickly to

good luck to you all to x

Brilliant method goingmad !!

Ill let you know at the end of the month if works :)

Have just remembered though concieved in Ibiza for #2 so maybe not so lucky after all lol, Holidays and BFP seem to have a theme for me so maybe I should book a holiday abroad, going to Great Yarmouth in 2 weeks not sure if that would count

blue22 - having already wasted quite a bit of money on PG tests i bought a job lot of 15 from Amazon for, like, three quid. Am hoping these will start needing to be used soon! :-) Whereabouts in Oxfordshire are you? We're... SSE - below Abingdon and off to the right a bit :-)

Interesting fact for those wanting to increase EWCM. I've been taking 1000mg of Evening Primrose daily as well as drinking at least 2 litres of water per day. While it's too early for me to confirm if it worked for EWCM, I can definitely confirm that my CM quantities are WAY up, if anyone is still early enough in their cycle to give it a go :)

Hi all,
Welcome to all the newbies.
Cod sorry to hear about AF :(
Tanif I take EPO usually as have terrible PMT and I have to say I am missing it now AF is due soon (you're not supposed to take it after ov as it can cause uterine contractions, apparently).
goingmad you'll end up hiring out all of your fertility 'props' soon - I'll get on the waiting list ;)
We're off to Italy in June so hopefully that will help if nothing happens over the next month.

Piggy I'd heard about the contractions so I've got my flaxseed oil to switch too after ov lol
