today has been the worst TTC day ever since we started trying was supposed to get a high on CBFM and got a low Sad maybe my cycles are different to what this app is telling me but cant help thinking maybe im not OV at all

MissMrsMummy · 25/05/2014 21:49

Ok silver Friday it is! I have some ics and some cb but they are not sensitive.... I'll pee on them anyway for fun!

It wouldn't be so terrible if I got my bfp now, it's just not ideal due to maternity pay and that I would like to settle in for a bit before getting pg. but obvs we'd be over the moon!

MissMrsMummy · 25/05/2014 22:55

Sorry you are getting mixed results hed I found that the
first app I used was inaccurate in predicting ov and then it made me paranoid that there was something wrong with me! I have since realised that I can ov anywhere between CD12-19 so it's more useful for me to use opks and temping rather than an app which seems to be more suited to people whose cycle is regular!

theduchesse · 26/05/2014 01:34

My app has absolutely no idea when I ov and seems incapable of learning. Every month it suggests I will ov on cd14 despite the fact that my cycles are often 35 - 60 days. It says my fertile time is over long before it begins.

spinningirl10 · 26/05/2014 05:37

The duchess.....I use ff and on other app and they are always a little out with when I ov despite the fact I've been using them for 11 cycles! I always use opks and then add to the app when I get my positive. I like the apps as I can look back at cycles and also look ahead to the next one.

Bank holiday Monday and I'm up ridiculously early!!!! I have familiar stomach pains so I expect af to arrive sometime soon! My ds is 8 on Wednesday so I'm making him a Star Wars cake today. Hoping the weather stays good for his party and him and his friends can play in the garden.

Hope everyone has a good day, anyone poas? Grin

ChandlersFarang · 26/05/2014 05:45

I only use the app (Kindara) to record my CM, OPK results and any SYMPTOMS really, I turn off the 'fertility predictor' because it's inaccurate every time - it definitely used to assume all cycles were 28 days (mine have been 98 & 40!). This month it did go for a longer cycle - I think about 30 - but it said my fertile period has been and gone this weekend when i def haven't ovulated yet...

RetroHippy · 26/05/2014 07:37

I can ovulate anywhere between CD 4 and CD 22. No app can keep up with that!! I use OPKs and temping too and record it on Fertility Friend. Nearly missed this month as FF still defaults to CD14 for ov so it's a good job I start using OPKs from CD 4.

gennibugs · 26/05/2014 08:41

Morning all.

AF due today, I am a very regular 28 day girl, poas on a frer and got BFN. HmmHmm

I guess that's that and it's just the stupid horrid pregnacare that has messed my cycle. I'm still getting cramps so hoping AF just shows up today, if I'm not Pg then I want AF today - I like my regular cycles.

Guess I'll lurk here til the end but go over and join the June bus too. I'm trying to just be upbeat about it slightly dying inside at the thought of another month of this and I know there ll be tears by the end of the day but for some reason I secretly really thought this might be it as I hasn't spotted.

Oh and after 2 years of tracking my apps get my ov wrong!

Rainbow555 · 26/05/2014 08:49

Genni - it's not over till AF arrives....hoping it doesn't and you get bfp instead! Or, if it is af hope it arrives for you on time so you catch regular!

I am not liking all this unreliable app talk...might have to try something different next month if af shows up at the end of the week.

Just as an aside can someone remind of SYMPTOMs that could show early? Feels very much like af in the making but seems a bit early for it....

theduchesse · 26/05/2014 09:05

Rainbow pretty much all my symptoms are the same as af symptoms really: cramping, bigger boobs, a bit moody. Except the wind, I don't normally get that pre af and boy do I have that now (sorry for tmi).

I def think you need to either just dtd regularly all month (as I resorted to this month because nothing else was working) or use something to spot your ov time - opk's, temping or tracking cm - definitely can't rely on an app, they just assume you follow the average.

theduchesse · 26/05/2014 09:06

Oh and genni, you are definitely not out until af arrives. I know that feeling of facing another month of ttc though. It is rubbish.

victoria401 · 26/05/2014 10:04

Morning, couldnt resist popping in and reading back. Congrats to all the bfp's! Sorry to hear you got bfn genni. Good luck next month. I def won't be watching the June bus tho.

After a good old shout and cry over our devastating news on Thursday me and dh are moving forward. We have had a weekend clinging to each other and doing things that you can do as a couple with no kids. We have a GP appointment on June 6th where we can hopefully get the ball rolling for ivf.

Stupid thing is I'm still symptom spotting and prob always will! I have just had a single day of bleeding on 11/12 dpo which must be implantation of course! But I got that last month too and af arrived 2 days later. The new odd thing to add to my cycles. I also have quite sore boobs, which I didn't have last month. Keep having day dreams that after been given a zero % chance of conceiving naturally, we beat the odds! said in a movie advert voice

lindamagoo · 26/05/2014 10:16

Victoria never give up hope huni, I was told I would never have children without fertility treatment and even then it would be a struggle, then at 37 years old my tummy bug turned out to be ds1, then came along ds2 and now pregnant with dc3, miracles can happen Smile

hanflan · 26/05/2014 10:19

I'm so sorry Victoria. I'm glad that the ball is rolling for moving forward though. It WILL happen for you, by whatever means Flowers.

Massive massive congrats to the hat trick gang, Flirty, Broody and Duchesse! You awesome ladies! What a very happy bank holiday this is. I got the most positive opk I have ever had this morning so jumped on DH straight away. Annoying all my ewcm mucus seems to have completely dried up! Nothing today and yesterday, loads a couple of days before that, but not yet ovulated! Bit frustrating as that has never happened before.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 26/05/2014 10:22

Don't give up hope Victoria, miracles do happen. I'm glad you have an appointment in place to get IVF going. Look after each other. You will get there, stay strong and positive. Smile

victoria401 · 26/05/2014 10:30

A lady in my facebook support group had the same thing we've got and were given 1% chance of conceiving and she's now 7 weeks preg! Her miracle! But they had 95% antsperm antibodies and we have 100%. Not looking good for us. I'd never even heard of this condition until this girl announced her bfp a few weeks ago let alone think we could have it too! Crazy! Life is just bonkers!

spinningirl10 · 26/05/2014 11:24

Victoria, so pleased you have an appointment sorted for ivf, I wish you every success with it and hope we see you back here announcing your bfp soon Thanks

spinningirl10 · 26/05/2014 11:24

flirty30s · 26/05/2014 14:16

genni it ain't over to the flow bitch arrives! And victoria I am so sorry at your news but like English says, miracles do happen and I hope you get your lil bfp baby one way or another soon.

On that note, I know of a lovely lady who tried for over 10 years to conceive with numerous failed IVF attempts in the UK (nhs and private). She went to Spain last year for fertility treatment and now has the most beautiful baby girl. She said she only wished she'd known how advanced and easy their treatment was years ago.

JacktheLab · 26/05/2014 14:24

Still here, period not due until sat I think so it's going to be a long week, although my mobile phone upgrade arrives tomorrow hurrah!

My shitty body is trying to confuse me I think, my boobs are going up a size and filling up if that makes sense? I'd be getting excited expect that the same thing happened last cycle and obviously means nothing Hmm I'm getting some light cramping but I refuse to read anything into it after I got a bfn this morning. Even my poor husband is starting to get upset by the lack of success
