I should try an ovulation kit to see actual ov, just new so havn't done anything non-organic. Interesting you are days 18/19 too on ov. When is your AF due?

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 20:58

I don't really know as came off the pill two weeks ago I'm guessing it'll be two weeks after ov which means I've got 9 days to go.

LBMarie77 · 24/08/2013 21:09

oh, yeah, the pill always messes up 1st few cycles from experience, hard to tell until you have had a few periods and get back into a regular cycle. Best of luck!

VJONES1985 · 24/08/2013 21:12

Thanks! Had sign if ov and positive opks so hopefully I did ovulate. Good luck too!

MrsHugh · 25/08/2013 08:00

I'm right there with you! It's been a weird cycle this month as I don't really know when day 1 of lmp was(long story)! So I have no idea when ovulated, or when my AF is due...

The should I test/shouldn't I test battle has commenced! I can hardly wait for 'line eye' when I imagine that line on the hpt...

Raaahhhhh

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 10:20

Line eye? Ha ha! I will totally have that when I test next weekend.

GnomieGrace · 25/08/2013 10:23

Looks like I'm out for this month as this has progressed to a full blown period, which is odd as I started to bleed on CD 17, oh well pass the chocolate ice-cream, sauce and brownies actually just anything that has any cocoa in it at all :-(

lucyfluff · 25/08/2013 10:56

Sorry for late reply VJONES my Internet connection on hols is shocking!!

I don't have a clue when I ovulated, except having bad cramps, AF due around 4th sept. the pinkish tinge has gone now so god knows what that was maybe the position we did it?!

No other symptoms and I remember having sore boobs last time.....

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 11:40

Me af is due on the 2nd or 3rd I think. I just added 14 days onto the day I ov and that's my educated estimate.

Don't panic about symptoms though - it's still a bit early for those and you won't necessarily get the same symptoms as last time anyway.

lucyfluff · 25/08/2013 11:54

Yeah I'm not too worried about it all as first cycle and it could all be a bit out of sync at the mo!!

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 11:57

Yeah, overnight I've vowed to stop comparing other women's experiences with my own because it was driving me mad. Everyone's symptoms and cycles are different so I need to stop stressing about it :)

LBMarie77 · 25/08/2013 12:23

Everyone really is different in their cycles it seems, doesn't it. I thought I had AF start this morn as tiny teeny amount of spotting on tissue so huffed around but since then nothing. Due AF today, usually bang on 28 days so lets see by tonight. Head ! x

VJONES1985 · 25/08/2013 13:35

Yeah, it's all so different and frustrating but it's so important to not stress out too much when ttc. Having said that, I have 8 days till af/bfp and I can't handle it...

LBMarie77 · 25/08/2013 20:29

I'm out for this mth, AF just arrived properly :-( Good Luck ladies! x

internationallove985 · 25/08/2013 22:01

Aww sorry to hear that LBMarie77. Hope you have better luck next month. xxx

KedenTTC1Cycle2 · 25/08/2013 22:27

Congrats LongTail and sorry to hear that LBMarie.

Wishing everyone else loads of luck!

LongTailedTit · 25/08/2013 22:46

Thank you for all your congratulations ladies, it's amazing to me that I'm pg this quickly! I've joined the May thread in antenatal, hope to see some of yu there soon :)

I have my fingers and toes crossed that you'll all follow in quick succession Thanks good luck to all!

layla1976 · 26/08/2013 11:16

LBMARIE77..... sorry to hear that hun... if it make you feel better my AF i jut around the corner and i'm out too.... infact think something bad is wrong as yesterday nearly went to A+E as had worst pain ever in pelvic region, this has been going on for a while but pain never this bad, random time too during monthly cycles over last 6 months or so, i've been trying to ignore it and put my head in the sand ,so not ovulation pain or menstrual pain...maybe endometriosis or PCOS ...which equals FERTILITY PROBLEMS.... explian why i'm still not pregnant after 3 years... got regnant easily in my teens and twenties!!!!!....5 times which i lost , but till now i'm in my 30' and late 30's i'm screwed!!!!....feel like giving up!!!!......
Longtailedtit you are so lucky...what do you want hun..boy or girl??? .... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

layla1976 · 26/08/2013 11:17

sorry for all the spelling mistakes ...some of my keys on my lap top are sticking !!!! sorry xxxxx

layla1976 · 26/08/2013 11:31

Gnomiegrace i didn't see you're post til a mo ago... just think you're new cycle has started and you'll be trying again in a few days and new month, fresh start and better odds i'd say....GOODLUCK....... xxxxxx... VJONES1985... you are definitely sounding more chilled out.... best way to be... try to stay like that as stress has a really detrimental affect on us when TTC....
also ...still best of luck to everyone else on this thread TTC..... baby dust to each and everyone of you.... maybe this month is longtailedtits turn and hopefully a few others , however if not no doubt we'll all be on another thread for next month and even if just one of us at a time make it we'll all get there in the end... we gotta stay positive eh....
goodluck ladies .....wish you all the luck in the world

internationallove985 · 26/08/2013 11:39

Hi Layla. I agree this is LongTailedTit's month which is fantastic but our turn and everyone else who is TTC's turn will come. It's ignorant to our future bungles of joy to think that it wont.
Going to D.T.D for a few hours later (he's coming over at around 4ish). My D.D is staying out and we've both got a few spare hours so it would be a shame to waste them. xx
Also Glad to hear your more chilled out now, like I said chilling out during TTC is like everything in life easier said than done, so well done. xx

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 11:58

Layla yeah, just realised how silly it is for me to compare myself to others. Having different symptoms or no symptoms at all does not mean I'm not pregnant or I have something wrong with me - everybody's different so the best thing to do is just stop symptom spotting and wait until af due day to either test or realise I'm out for this month.

ELR · 26/08/2013 13:23

Hi ladies, well think I'm out too for this month! Couldn't help it and did a test lastnight and was bfn, my boobs are absolute agony and much bigger than usual bras are all tight! I had convinced myself I was def pregnant. I'm not due on until thurs/fri so might be a slim chance it was a false negative but prob not at least I am feeling much less obsessed with a BFP now! Have a great day everyone!

VJONES1985 · 26/08/2013 13:32

ELR It's much too early to poas yet. Yes, it's possible to get a bfp four days before af is due but it's far more reliable to wait until it's due/late so it's not over yet!

Writerwannabe83 · 26/08/2013 14:16

Just echoing what vjones said, I didn't get my BFP until the morning of the day my period was due. For about 2 days prior to my BFP I had noticed a few changes in my breasts which is one of the signs that made me think I was pregnant. It is too early yet, give it a few more days x
