Hi girls. Just warming up a seat. Af hasn't yet struck wholesale, but am cd30 and having some palish spots. Have done frer Sun night and nada, so just awaiting the witch proper.

This will be first time charting and opks.

Babsbunny, 33, ttc#1, cycle 4, bfp due tbc when witch finally decides to rock up.

babsbunny · 24/03/2015 22:49

Oh also told I have raynauds when I was 17...It's not fun.

Southy84 · 24/03/2015 23:16

I'll stick with the almonds :) and fingers crossed this month is the month! I so hope so x

Sparkly123 · 25/03/2015 00:10

Sorry I've been so rubbish on here today and not catching up! Trying my best to now!

Trixie sounds like your app went well and your doctor sounds really great. I hope so much you get your BFP pre IVF but so good you have a plan in place Flowers

Daisy day 8 is super early on the OPKs. So I wouldn't worry.. Do you have 28 day cycle? I would start from Tomor Smile

Sparkly123 · 25/03/2015 00:11

Fingers crossed for you Southy Flowers

Sparkly123 · 25/03/2015 00:21

laurasdream have you been on the buses previously? I feel like I remember your name?! So sorry to hear or the two cp, they are heartbreaking. I had an early mc in jan so I felt there was no need for the HSG but the consultant insisted..and I wish I had declined now! I hope you have a quick journey to your BFP now. You so deserve it. Hope the low prog gets sorted too. Can I ask how you found out ? was it day 21 bloods??

Sparkly123 · 25/03/2015 00:24

Tessie not the best afternoon!!! Hope you are ok now. Sounds awful! Flowers

coffeenut · 25/03/2015 01:36

My silly temp dipped to way below coverline this morning. Clearly implantation then as I'm 7dpo right? Wink I actually think I have a dodgy thermometer as it measures diff temps in diff ears (although did manage to pick up ovulation so who knows).

No brazil nuts for me, they give me a dodgy tummy. I can handle a handful of dry roasted almonds instead however. DH told me that he hopes I'm preg this month ... because he REALLY wants to get back to cycling to work Hmm

sparkly sorry the appointment didnt go well.

Must read back now and catch up.

BabyBumpHopeful · 25/03/2015 03:21

To whoever asked about the Clearblur Dual Hormone ... starting a little late should be okay. Depends on your personal cycle really.

For example, I have a 32 day cycle. I OV CD 20. It told me to start CD12. That's a pretty huge gap! But some people ov early and some late. If you aren't sure of your cycle, start when they tell you but have backup. I ran out of sticks!

coffeenut · 25/03/2015 06:12

southy you sound a bit down Sad V frustrating with the opks and GP forms. Hopefully it’s the universe telling you they will all be unnecessary as you will get your bfp this month.
Trixie interesting re diet changes. I hope the combo of dietary changes and aspirin etc works for you. Fingers crossed.
victoria I really hope you get to use the baby things soon. Good tip on pineapple core versus juice BTW! Sounds like I need to get some pineapple. Actually all this info on diet has got me thinking my diet is quite shite. I thought I was doing pretty well to cut coffee and alcohol. I seem to have replaced them with sugar, refined carbs and more sugar (and tea!!).

DizzyNorthernBird · 25/03/2015 06:48

Woooo no temp rise this morning, I still have time!!

loopylou1984 · 25/03/2015 06:52

Trixie - your consultant sounds ace! So hope these changes bring your bfp! Xx

DizzyNorthernBird · 25/03/2015 06:52

coffee it's got to be one small step at a time, otherwise it's too hard to give all thses things up! Plus you'll get awful cold turkey! Don't be too hard on youself! Smile says she that's spectacularly crap at giving up sugar

wotsits1 · 25/03/2015 07:46

Great news about the temp dizzynorthern! Let the dizzynorthern plan bring the bfps rolling in!

Southy84 · 25/03/2015 08:10

coffee I so hope so, i have an interview this morning that I'm quite nervous about. Kind of been putting job moves on hold but think I cant do that forever, as what if it never happens. I agree with the diet, mine sounds shocking now I've read about those foods Hmm I have to say I also had a boozy night out at the weekend too which I'm now feeling bad about. Really been trying to avoid alcohol. Oh well feel like writing this month off. Time to do
Some more interview prep!

Have a lovely day everyone Smile

Purplecuddlykoala14 · 25/03/2015 08:32

Good luck southy
let's hope so merry. But no harm in putting the wheels in motion seeing as they move so slowly.
Hope everyone has a good day.

wotsits1 · 25/03/2015 08:52

Good luck southy

TheMShip · 25/03/2015 09:09

Sweets27 Thanks! I'll hang around here for a while and see how it goes. Here's my stats:

TheMShip, 35, ttc #2, cycle 1, af was due 19 March, have not yet tested

Last month was a week late and a normal period. I only have one fallopian tube (lost one from a ruptured ectopic + surgery when I was in my 20s), so roughly 50% of months it's simply not possible for me to get a BFP anyway, which also seems to have given me wonky cycles. I've had to learn to relax about late AFs and stop panicking that it's another ectopic. I tend to wait a full week before testing.

tessiegirl · 25/03/2015 09:11

Morning everyone! Didn't come back on here after my cat attack yesterday so have just been catching up Smile

I am Shock that so many of you have bought baby related stuff - I would love to in a way but would be a bit superstitious too....although surely the odd cute babygrow wouldn't hurt...Hmm

Laurasdream I have a question regarding your low prog - you say you take vits B6 and B12 for it, can I ask if there is a specific reason you take these and not say vit b complex? Also, have you ever found that the B vits and EPO have delayed ovulation?

Trixie glad your app went well but can't believe they now tell you about polycystic ovaries!! As the mantra goes 'knowledge is power', hang in there. Hope revamping the diet goes well.

Keeping my fx that your brown spotting is a good sign melon! How is it today?

I am deeply ashamed to admit that I have never heard of Raynauds Blush Must read up on it....

Southy sorry you are feeling frustrated Sad Best of luck with the interview this morning!!!!!

Yay great news about no temp rise Dizzy! Go go go!!! Grin

coffee have you got a bbt thermometer that goes in your ears?!

So, DH came home from being in the field for the past two days last night with the plan to dtd but he has a stinking cold and was absolutely shattered so we gave dtd a miss Confused I haven't had even a hint of a second line on opks as yet and FF predicted ov today, tomorrow or Friday so shall see what today brings....nervous!!!

MelonMelon · 25/03/2015 09:17

Morning. Don't want to jinx myself but spotting has now stopped. Got some mild cramping and am sick of going to the loo every 15 minutes on pant watch!

Roxy1212 · 25/03/2015 09:28

Morning, ladies!

FX for you Melon and great news about the temp dizzy, keeping my FX for you too!

I'm confused this morning and a little worried - I had a BFN yesterday morning but I kept looking back at it unsure if I could see a line or not, then last night I POAS'd again and got a BFP - a bit of a squinter but both DH and I could definitely see a pink line. How exciting! I've had 1 MC (before TTC), I have PCOS and I've had PID in the past, we've been TTC for 30+ months and in that time I've had 2 positive OPKs (18 months apart) and only 1 instance of EWCM so we were VERY excited all night and want to do absolutely anything we possibly can to make this work out... but then this morning I've got cramps (no bleeding) and 2 BFNs!! Is it even at all posible that I could see another BFP or was last night a falsey? I called the Dr who told me to call the midwife who told me to call the Dr who said not to come in in person but that a Dr will call me tomorrow morning to discuss so no answers so far :/

MelonMelon · 25/03/2015 09:31

Oh no Roxy how worrying for you. It's so horrible when there's nothing you can do but wait Flowers When is your AF due?

coffeenut · 25/03/2015 09:33

good luck southy !!

great news about the temp dizzy!!

fingers crossed for you tessie (and no I dont use a BBt thermometer - I have a very expensive one for the kids that I'm using as cant justify buying another one right now).

coffeenut · 25/03/2015 09:36

Oh roxy I hope all is okay Flowers

Roxy1212 · 25/03/2015 09:56

Thanks Melon and coffeenut! I've no idea when AF is due as I'm really irregular normally but last month I had a 28 day cycle for the first time in AGES (having just recently started to take Metformin which seems to have really helped even things out a bit!) and today I'm on CD31

I just did another test (I'm a woman obsessed!) and I think it's another faint line? Can anybody else see it? 2nd pee of the day at 6 minutes' development
