Congratulations Auf!!!
London got her BFP too!! It's on the summer bus thread. Really good month for BFP

Good luck with your appointment Birchy let us know how it goes

Thanks guys! I'm so very pleased. Awesome news about london too!
kitty edd is 1 April! Start preparing your Aprils fools day jokes now.

Good luck birchy!

Morning

auf congrats! Sorry I've been thread hopping and hadn't made an appearance here for a while. Hope you're feeling ok. I've been awake since 2

Good look birchy this week and fx today kitty hope you're ok

Well after a test this morning I'm no clearer! I think it was negative but there seemed to be a really, really faint line. Af due today, normally arrived overnight and no sign except this cramping which I've now had for 4 days.

I feel very sick too but I think that's anxiety. I'm preparing for a slightly late period I think. God knows what's going on with my body though!

How frustrating kitty. I'm no expert but I feel like I've read that any sort of line is a good sign. Anyone else have an opinion on that? Try not to think about it too much today. Easier said than done I know

And congrats London

Thanks. I'm not entirely sure there was a line or if I was seeing one because I want to if that makes sense?

I know what you mean. I would say wait a couple days and test again maybe Friday. I'm with you - af due any time fri - wed (I'm always irregular) thought it was coming early yesterday with spotting but now no sign. Who knows! Want to test every fifteen minutes (I know I sound bonkers) but promised myself will wait until Friday if af stays away. FX!

It obviously wasn't a faint line. Af has arrived! Rubbish but I'm glad I'm not waiting around!

I wonder what that spotting was then, do I need to get it checked out?

Can I join please. I am 39 and tcc my third after a big age gap so a bit rusty I'm afraid. Just about to go into second month of trying. AF visiting at the moment although part of me wonders if actually it isn't proper AF as was convinced I was pregnant. Probably wishfull thinking.

Congratulations auf so pleased for you

Sorry for AF kitty

Congrats Auf!!

Does anyone have any thoughts on why FF think I'll ov on Cd19 when I always ov on cd14/15?

WOW! Congratulations Auf July seems like a really positive month.

Really not sure why it'd be telling you that Carrot, unless, you have a longer cycle and you actually ovulate a little unusually early.

I took a test yesterday on my break with a drop (of concentrated) urine as I couldn't wee much.. It was negative. But, it was a cheap pound one and I'm sure you have to wait 5+ minutes for a result.. Not 2 tops (had to get back to my desk).

Nipples still painful but no sign of AF. I'm getting fed up now and unsure why I got a negative if I was actually pregnant, as I'm well over due now for a period and know when i ovulated.

Good luck today birchy

So sorry for AF kitty

madredear maybe it just wasn't enough time or pee, maybe try again with a different test?

Lilygirl81, I'm giving it until Monday and then if AF doesn't arrive, I'll test again. Something certainly isn't right so part of me isn't even expecting AF, although I perhaps should be

Currently 6dpo and symptom spotting like a mad woman (i know nothing to spot yet really) although yesterday I had what felt like period pains across my ovary region and lower back, and possibly some spotting (v v v v v feint - much like my imaginary bfp lines).

madredear I'm impressed at your patience, I can barely get to AF date without a few POS.

I've realised that I have a real tendency to jump into things very quickly, right now I'm struggling not to start buying things, either to help with TTC or maternity or baby things. When we got the puppy, the month before we picked him up, I bought so much stuff for him it was ridiculous. So far managing reasonably well, and am channelling my behaviours into decluttering and cleaning our flat

Ovia says today I've hit my fertile window and guess what! Woke up this morning with a stinking cold a pretty much feel like crap. Must find the energy from somewhere over the next 4 days to DTD

Carrot- is your app saying you'll ovulate later due to your af being late last time due to CP maybe? Just do your opk's and it'll adjust once you put a positive in. Good luck this month!

3Princess that's rubbish. Fx you manage to dtd at least once.

Hi all, just an update.

The wait is over for me, just went to the loo and there it was when I wiped myself, AF looking up to me with her sarcy smile

Really gutted!

The hardest part of all is how obsessive I get with looking 'how long I've got to go' until I'm fertile/due on. It SUCKS and from day 1 onwards, I'll be glued to the little countdown on My Ovia App.

I just can't be productive without knowing I'm pregnant, and I'm not pregnant I just don't know how to snap out of this..

Aww Madre I always suffer the week of AF and then perk up again with a new chance when it starts to get close to ovulation. Its a horrible cycle.

kitty sorry to hear af arrived for you as well. They do say that you should have checked out any unusual bleeding between periods. However Im sure it is fine and its our mean bodies playing tricks on us constantly.

So last night I went to reflexology - I really enjoyed it. She was able to identify areas of pain and said I had mild hormone imbalances - nothing major. But she worked on my hormones glands as I am so stressed and uptight that I have constant cortisol going through my body which is not great for conceiving. Also slept so well last night even though i had fertility appointment today.

Fertility appointment today went well - was very quick - said although my GP test showed ovulation that because my cycles range from 28-39 that there may be cycles i am not ovulating. So clomid for 3 months which includes taking clomid day 2-6 of cycle with ultrasound scan on day 12-14. Then if this doesn't work after 3 months review with looking at laproscopy.

I am also away again for the weekend from tomorrow (I picked the wrong month to be bus driver!) so I will be checking in but wont be able to update STATS again until next week and we have a few people testing!! G'luck for all you testing

Sorry af got you too madre, it's not been our day today.

I know we're only cycle 2 and we already have a beautiful dd1 with us so we are luckier than many but it's so hard eating for something that I know will be so, so hard next time (I'm working on the idea of doc and midwife appointments in counselling at the moment as the thought of them makes me panicked and a bit breathless! Stupid I know!)

I'm a bit hormonal and emotional (exactly 6 months since dd2 was born) today but there is a bit of me that wants to give up already and say 'I can't do this its too hard' and start getting used to the idea that I've had the 2 children I planned, just one didn't survive. Maybe asking for another is just tempting fate or pushing my luck.

Sorry for the rant, I'm feeling a bit over dramatic today!
