Second day of af and keep checking the boards but don't feel like I fit in anywhere at the moment or have anything to say with two weeks till I ovulate! Anyone else in the same boat?? Really hope this is our month even though it's only our 2nd ttc. Going to get conception vits for me and other half and also try an ovulation pack so looking forward to getting to grip with those.

Ah ha here you are!

I think I should get opk this month too as got it wrong just using body signs last month! Mind you I had a weird cycle full stop. Seemed to have had tons more cm than usual post ov til now and sure I had 3x ewcm on various days from cd12 to cd18!

Fingers crossed month 16 is ours.....

Parking my bum here. Still waiting for AF so can't go to March bus yet (as I feel a fraud without a date for BFP!) and I dunno, i just feel low today.

Going to order OPKs and ICs once AF gets here, then if that doesn't work, we'll be buying one of the clearblue ones for April/May. I'm considering a basal thermometer too.

DH has said he'll take a sperm test if need be and we're happy to go private for that. I might get him some wellman vitamins too.

As soon as AF gets here, it's a new start. Tonight though, it very much might be wine, chocolate and a sob on the sofa.

Don't be sad hazel chin up everything will work out how it should :) wine and chocolate sounds like a wonderful idea tonight :)

Just popped out and got the his and hers conception vitamins as I figure they can't hurt can they!

Really not sure how il approach this months Ttc we did it 5 out of 7 of my fertile days this month but where I have had a 30 day cycle this month and I was working on 29 I don't think we dtd on ovulation day I think we dtd too often too early on if that makes sense and the little buggers didn't survive like they should have done! Lol have read about dtd every other day as then the buggers have matured or dtd everyday.. Hmm what a mind field!

Victoria isn't it funny how the body tricks you and acts differently or that we are super sensitive and over analysing everything!! I promise not to do that this month!! I will not symtom spot or poas until af due!

Hazel, I'm still waiting for af too. Had tiny bit of brown last night and tiny bit this morning. Day 30, very unusual its not started yet. Am usually a 28/29 day girl. Last month was full blown on day 30, spotting and cramping few days before. I hope my cycles aren't getting longer!

Emily, I say that every month but I'm always naughty and symptom spotting!

victoria401 · 28/02/2014 18:12

How long have you been ttc hazel? Coz we been over a year, hubby was allowed to get a test on the NHS. On the waiting list now and he's dreading it!

katecupoftea · 28/02/2014 18:54

Reserving a spot too!

Sorry you feel so down Hazel, hope you have a lovely evening and take your mind off it all a bit.

DrewsWife · 28/02/2014 19:02

Squidge up... Let me in Grin. On cycle 4. On day one of high fertility according to ovulation monitor. Taking folic acid and other such joys! Oh and did the whole lets rush a sperm test to the hospital run this mornin after coming off nightshift Smile. I'm exhausted.

I'm booked in for hormone tests at the docs but have to wait on day 2 - 4 of my cycle. Which I am now on 14. So might as well keep trying. Wink

Rose768 · 01/03/2014 01:00

Can I get a ticket please Smile
Af started yesterday which puts me back in the game. This is month 3 of ttc with bfp/af due end of March not sure of exact date, need to consult my app.
Thanks for this thread Emily. Know exactly what you mean about not quite fitting in. I've been lurking over on the March bus from time to time but as af is due at the end of the month its hard to relate when the tww and symptom spotting is happening!
Hope you've all had a relaxing evening, hopefully this will be our month!

KittyVonCatsington · 01/03/2014 07:34

Morning Ladies! Going to straddle this and the March bus for exactly the same reason.

Cycle 4 now and the one thing I have learnt is lots of sex!

DTD just around ovulation doesn't always work-every day for a few days before and about 5-7 days after (worked for me albeit temporarily last cycle!) this means the swimmers are always fresh and you have them waiting when you do ovulate, but in case ovulation is slow, you keep the swimmers coming. I call it the DTD marathon! It's what I plan to do Grin

sebsmummy1 · 01/03/2014 07:39

Hi girls. On cd4 today. Had a miscarriage the beginning of February and AF ( I think!) arrived 4 days ago. So this is going to be a potentially weird month as I'm not sure I will ovulate on time but have dusted off the clear blue fertility monitor and also have ov sticks for the afternoon too.

I have short cycles and normally ov around cd12. Gingers crossed for us all xxx

KittyVonCatsington · 01/03/2014 08:46

What a rotten time for you, sebsmummy-like the positive tone of your post! Am relying on OPK info too as I won't be able to use previous cycle info either. I'm a late ovulator so am popping out to Holland and Barrett as soon as its open to get some vitex! Am wondering if I didn't produce progesterone for long enough last cycle, so hoping vitex will help .

Hazelbrowneyes · 01/03/2014 09:34

Thanks all, I had a nice evening in the end. Drank a bit too much Blush but enjoyed spending time with DH. I'm feeling much more positive today.

Had a lovely dream actually. DH was cuddling me, on a picnic blanket in a park on a gorgeous sunny day. The woman next to us was pregnant. Weird but I felt so happy for her. Whoever she was Grin Really vivid dream but it's made me so happy today. I'm so lucky to have DH, that's what I need to focus on really.

Victoria we've only been trying a few months so I'm unnecessarily panicking, I know.

Still waiting for AF to arrive. I've been getting an awful lot of pain on my right side so I might make a trip to my doctors to ask for advice. I'm concerned it could be a cyst. I'll see how the pain is in a weeks time I think.

I'm now definitely off the March bus before I even got on it, as on CD32 so won't get a March BFP now if I use these stats next month.

Mikeysmum2906 · 01/03/2014 09:43

Can i join the bus too? Day one of proper af. Came off microgynon end of January had breakthru and now day one of af. Be a first baby for me and ttc#1 Been lurking for the last month and did a lot of sysmpton spotting. Had sore boobs etc now looks like was down to coming off the pill. Good luck everyone

Hibou7688 · 01/03/2014 18:32

My dodgy (long) cycles means my next af will probably arrive early April and I'll skip March all together. This will be by fourth cycle and ttc#1. Good luck everyone!!

RPopz · 01/03/2014 18:37

Hellooo. 4 days into AF. Hoping this month is our month Grin

December looks like a good month eh?

I'm doing DIUI in two weeks, hoping for a BFP on mothers day!

victoria401 · 01/03/2014 21:33

I went out for a lovely lunch with hubby and then we cwtched up on the sofa watching the voice :-) The sunshine today was very mood lifting too :-)

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 01/03/2014 22:05

Hi I have 6 days to wait until Af arrives I am counting down the days. I am always the 8th of the month it's our first month of trying. Used fertility sticks on advice from a friend.

victoria401 · 02/03/2014 09:52

Now day 1 at last after a funny old month.

Must be positive this month (literally!) And pounce on DH lots!

RPopz · 02/03/2014 10:21

Having a super long AF. Still bleeding on day 5 which is unheard of (I usually get off v lightly!) Hoping this isn't going to bugger me up for March!

Hazelbrowneyes · 03/03/2014 08:23

AF has finally arrived! CD34. I went to bed grinning last night just because I'm now out of limbo. Feb wasn't our month but March might be. If I fall pregnant this month, my due date will be...my birthday Grin

Ordering OPKs today.

sebsmummy1 · 03/03/2014 09:22

I'm on cd6 here. Normally AF would be gone by now but I assume, because of mc, I am still spotting.

My CBFM is reading low today. Pregnancy test is still showing the faintest squinter but doesn't seem to be registering on the opk stick so hopefully I will still ovulate this cycle.
