I'm having a !

we'll only have to bump it for a wee while, we're at 250 posts already on volume 7!

I'll maybe copy and paste the link every day or so to continue my geekery. and distraction from 2ww

hit post too soon there!

glad scan was positive scrummy :)

Thanks for sorting that thread jaggy stalk away everyone!

CD21 here today and FF still says I ovulated on CD 15 but I am not convinced at all - had lots of EWCM today, much more than any other day. Temp went up a bit this morning but still nowhere near as high as post ovulation temps last cycle (35.96 this am, and 36.6 ish a few days post ovulation last time) so I think more likely it was today or maybe over the next few days.

Anyway, happy (rainy) Friday everyone, hope you all have fantastic weekends!

Yay Scrummy that's fab news!

I am cd4/5 and thinking about having a break after this cycle.

Hope you are all well xxxx

Game over :(.gutted.chart here
Dunno what happened with fertile signs but still.think cd12 more likely to be ovulation date with a 15 day luteal phase.19 seems very long!

havealittle sorry to hear that. Fwiw I agree that cd12 was much more likely to have been your ovulation day. Perhaps you missed your lh surge - were you doing two opk's a day?

Had a little temp rise today - but bfn. I know it's only 10dpo but I've had bfps at this stage before so am thinking I'm probably out this month. Except with my 15-16 day luteal phase I have to wait till Friday (my birthday) for AF. Oh well I suppose it means I can drink

scrummy - glad everything seems ok on scan, that must be a relief.

havealittle - so sorry, I thought your chart was looking very impressive as well.

digital - you sound very much like me, I generally give in and test around 9/10 DPO because I to had a BFP then, always negative so far and no BFP yet. Probably doesnt help me though as I know every pregnancy is different! So you never know, until AF shows or otherwise hopefully not!!

poppy - I often get EWCM after ovulation, still not sure why but I think its got something to do with oestrogen levels.

I was only using crappy internet cheapo opks, not convinced about them at all. got first fertility appt 1st July. Will leave the opks til.after that. prob worth investing in a monitor it at least decent stick.
Good luck to digital and duck.

sorry havealittle :(

cd 12 does seem most likely on looking at the temp rise there.

Thanks for your lovely messages. I am really relieved. Like I said to DH, as I've not been pregnant, I've never had a scan, so nobody had ever looked to see whether everything WAS ok. I lost a close friend to ovarian cancer only a couple of years ago and the whole experience made me think of her and how fragile life is. So, yes, a big relief.

Sorry havealittle It looks like I'm going to follow your suit too. Spotting again this morning with the usual headache. Means I can book my HSG and go get my Day 3 bloods done. Let's hope I get an appt quick. Numbers are apparently limited.

Yes I've overridden it. Makes more sense to have a 15 day luteal phase. Holding up with co-codamol, last month tried just paracetamol, epic mistake.
Sorry to hear about losing your friend scrummy. My Mum died of it 4 years ago. It is crap but it does make you appraise your own life doesn't it? And at least now you're moving forward fertility wise. I've just my first endocrinology fertility appt 1st July so I feel like despite stupid af arriving I will be moving foward this month too.

havealittle really sorry to hear about your mum. That must have been tough.
Are you seeing someone privately?

12DPO and still spotting

9DPO and getting ants in pants - think I will have to join/start a load of random threads to keep me busy for the next few days!

Feel exceptionally unpregnant though.

FX Jaggy xxxx

Fx everyone. I am I think 5dpo, thought this month I don't know when I ov'd so have to trust fertilityfriends chart (and I don't really trust them).

I have been getting weird hot flushes all month - not a sympton I am very fond of as it sounds more menopausal than pregnant.

Any way on top of all this I am moving so v. stressed out. Oh well all adds to the joy of the 2ww for me.

This is my chart , seems to be that I ovd day 20 but I got no positive OPK and I always do!

levana your link didn't work, if you go to share/get URL that should be the full link.

Think I'm out ladies. After feeling quite pg with evening cramps all the way up to 9dpo I've since been feeling very unpregnant. And another bfn today. Will try one more tomorrow at 12dpo then stop the steroids I think. No point taking them if I haven't been successful. Am disappointed, mainly in my own crap body for taking so long to ovulate can't have been that good an egg on cd34.
Anyway, will try more acupuncture next cycle starting from the second week in. And back to running and dieting I think.

Another bfn this morning even though temp went up.
Convinced I'm out now. Have booked follow up appt with my consultant and also some acupuncture for next cycle. Going to ask about Clomid. I'm not very happy about having a 50 day cycle.

Who's next in line for poas? Hopefully you'll have better luck than me

stalky link.

Nowt exciting on mine...

Still going to avoid POAS digital so I'm not next .

digital sorry about the BFN. It sucks. Do you think the 50 day cycle was just a once off. Last time I had a 50 day cycle I conceived DD the next cycle! So hang in there.

I had my first reflexology session last week with a therapist who specialises in fertility and maternity reflexology. She said I was going to ov soon on my right side! Amazing!!! She said she couldn't feel any obvious fertility issues but my right ovary was maybe a bit displaced, which can happen after a pregnancy and can affect fertility, but she also said it could be because it was swollen for ovulation time, so she'll check next session. She did say fallopian tubes blocked with mucus wouldn't show up in reflexology and it was worth going to GP and asking for a lap and dye to check this. Haven't decided whether to make an appointment yet as we've only tried 6 months so far. She told me to ditch my vitamin supplements (Seven Seas) and go to a health food store to buy some more easily absorbed tablets. So I did! She also recommended the book 'Getting Pregnant Faster' by Marilyn Glenville. Has anyone read it? My pregnant friend is going to lend it to me!

Also picked up some Conceive Plus lube today, she didn't recommend this but (sorry TMI!!!) I need lube and have wondered if I'm killing all the swimmers this way. Used non sperm friendly lube when conceiving DD but maybe its tipping the balance this time.

Have either ov'd recently or will do soon. Still some EWCM hanging around. Not temping this cycle. Kind of like that I won't know what DPO I am in the 2WW!

Hi levana - do what digitalgirl says and repost your chart link. then we can stalk you

good luck to jaggy and scrummy. I hate those last few days. Glad your scan was positive scrummy. what a relief!

sorry havealittle

looks like you may have ov'd now poppy?

hi to anyone I have missed!

sorry for BFN btw, only 12dpo fx there's stilla chance.

After 9 months I actually need to order more Pre-seed Isla It is quite a wee tube...

Not sure if I need it tbh, but i figure any help to keep the swimmers happy. Not used it this month actually.

Hi

we use concieve plus, it's very cold!

Thanks for the heads up re Conceive Plus we'll be trying it out tonight!!!
