I have one child who is 11, and who longs for a sibling. I am 32 years old & I have been trying to conceive since December 2013. I am ovulating thankfully, but seem to ovulate on CD18. My issue is that at 9dpo I start spotting and 10 dpo AF starts. I am on TTC#7 now, and I find the 2WW very difficult every month. I try to be positive and hope for the best, but on the other hand I try not get my hopes up too much, as it is so upsetting when AF arrives. I have had CD3 and 7 dpo tests done to check hormone levels...all of these have come back normal...My temps are really good too, so I just can't understand what is going on with my body. I also have been going to accupunture for the last 3 months. I am on CD1 today so hopefully this is the month I will conceive. Fingers crossed.Would anyone like to join me as I begin Cycle 7 TTC? x

Hey Laura hope all this ttc isnt keeping you up all night 
Onwards & upwards hun.
I am very confused at the min, AF arrived for me at 15/16dpo...cant remember now will have to check chart again. I am on the veriry forum with ladies who too have pcos & they have been watching my posts & watching my chart. They have noticed that my temps are still above my cover line? 
At 18dpo although i was bleeding my temps had dropped but still above cl then dropped to the coverline then back up a bit more today. They are suggesting i do another test.
Surely if i was pregnant i wouldnt have had a normal period...well it didnt last as long but still was light/medium flow.
Anyone any ideas??
Why would my temps still be above coverline at cd6 into new cycle.
As its my first cycle charting i dont know if this is normal for my temps at this stage just after af? Xx

My Af lasted for 7 days this month, but it was not as heavy as previous months. I was on painkillers for my back, so I didn't experience AF pain, perhaps that is why my flow was lighter this month too. I read before that painkillers can affect your flow...
the human body is complicated! x
Hi Ladies 
Ela I know how you feel! Honest! I know I am only TTC 8 months, but I have wanted a baby for years! My Dh & I are together more than 6 yrs,...all his friends meet & got pregnant really fast! For example we were together 3 years, when his friend rang him & said that him & his OH were expecting! They were together 6 months! No exaggeration! I felt so cross, cos I really wanted a baby, but my DH wasn't ready! Even before we were married, his ex had gotten married & had 2 babies! I was like slow Joe or what! Now we are married almost 9 months & still have no BFP! Well that is not from the lack of trying or not wanting a baby! We are both ready & stations go! So I too feel it is so unfair! Everyone is pregnant! Why not me! But I give myself a good kick up the butt & say you have to get on with it! We simply have no choice! xx Fx for you my lovely! I hope you feel better soon! & I really hope & pray you get your BFP this month! xx

Hi 1moretime I hope you saw my post for you on the July bus! Fx your bleed was implantation bleeding! If I were you I would POAS again with FMU with a FRER, as I couldn't cope being in limbo land! What were your temps today? Also what are your stats?
Ela & 1moretime What do you think about us writing down our stats every day, so that we can keep track & see a pattern! x Say like the way I have written mine above!

I'm feeling a bit better today thanks laurano, the in ritual irritation has subsided thankfully! Did notice yesterday someone I went to school with was also announcing her pregnancy after only being with her bf about 4 months so that also annoyed me but I'm over it! I just think our child when they're ever conceived are going to be the most wanted and special gift. It's just hard to remember that sometimes when babies / pregnancy is EVERYWHERE!!
Hope you're both well and fx for your BFP 1moretime xxx

Hi Ela
I'm glad you are feeling better x Honestly I wouldn't blame you for being down in the dumps! You are well entitled to feel that way. You are better off acknowleding that & dealing with it, so you can lt it go! Your child will bring so much joy into your life that it will heal all the pain you endured TTC. x (((Hugs))) x

Hi Ladies I have been feeling wrecked since my acupuncture session..I think I am coming close to ovulation, as I am getting cramps in my ovaries! I really hope I get my OPK's tomorrow! I sent an email asking where they were on Friday. I was assured I would get them by Monday! Well I just will have to wait & see. Otherwise I probably will miss the LH surge! ! Enough whining...how are the both of you doing? We managed to DTD CD 8, 10, 12 & 13 so far! My DH has been up for work at 4/5 am some mornings, so I have had to change my game plan, as he is usually snoring by 8pm. I'm hoping to continue DTD right to several days after I ovulate. Well that's the plan anyway! x
Hi Ladies I think ovulation is defo on it's way! I have been feeling very smoochy & romantic today! DH is working! But I have been listening to the 1980's smoochy love songs on & off whilst giving the house a scrub! x It's that or I have a love bug! hehe

Hi ladiesâ?¦I got a faint line on an opk today, fx it will be + tomorrow or the day after I'm getting cramps in both ovariesâ?¦I was hoping I would ovulate left ovary, as I previously had a cyst on my right ovaryâ?¦ fx this will be our month
Hello lovelies :-)
Im not too bad thank you. I had the faint faint line on the Monday the day after af, but then a BFN on Tues & Wed last week. I guess it was an evap line or mc??
I am on cd12 today & when me & dh got intimate earlier 
he got alot of stringy dc which had a blob of blood tinge to it??
Never ever had this...pleased about the stringy cm but what the hell is the blood blob?
I have had a few cramps today...nothing major.
Awww laura really hope you get the +opk soon hun. You and dh have been busy ;-)
Keep it up & fx for bfp this cycle x
Ella how many ladies are pregnant atm!!!
We have 4 in our department now where i work...my brothers little baby is due 2 weeks today...im so excited but know it is going to make me worse!!
How do i put my stats up ladies??
Hey 1More ,
Sorry you got a BFN 
Was the blob of blood red or brown? I had some pinkish cm before around ovulation, but I was on herbs that the acupuncturist gave me. Also I had a mild cervical eversion, so I often bleed after DTD, before I went to a gynae in Hungary & I'm fine since x

Do you think you are going to ovulate soon? I have had cramps on & off today, coupled with watery CM , so ovulation is on it's way Fx

Hey ladies! My temps have been rubbish this month :-( they're a teeny bit higher today but considering I'm on cd15 thought I might be ovulating soon! Did have tiny cramps on one side last night but then had diarhrea and vomiting this morning so more likely down to having a bug it seems!
Sorry to hear about the BFN 1moretime I sometimes get browny or reddish blood after dtd, stringy sounds positive though, I've not had any of that so far this month!

Hi ladies! I did an opk again today, and it was the same as yesterday. I ovulated CD17 last month, but I was hoping to ovulate a bit earlier this month! Fx I am getting cramps again today, left & right! Fx I ovulate a lovely little egg, that will be a sticky bean x We have managed to DTD CD 14 & 15, as well! If I get a BFN this month! I simply will wonder what the heck is wrong with me! Fx it won't come to that! My DH has agreed to get a sperm analysis done this month, if I get a BFN. Better to know all is ok in that regard!
Ela I hope you feel better soon! Nothing worse! My DH & DS had that last month! Make sure you drink plenty of fluids, but sip them so that you don't puke it back up x
1More I hope you are ok x
