Banana calm yourself!

Sorry for AF spots

And thanks auf

So after my odd mid cycle spotting then the weird start to my period, which was a day late after a possible faint positive af has been really heavy and painful all of yesterday (collapsed in bed at 8) and most of today. However, I'm now been light flow since the afternoon and now it's stopped!

What the hell is going on with my body?

Aww Kitty sounds rubbish. No explanation - just sympathy!

Birchygoo, these are my stats:

Name: Sophie
Age: 21
TTC for: 4 months
Baby No: #1!

Really annoying, waiting around for my fertile period

Sorry you're having such a rubbish time with your period kitty

Gah didnt dtd last night as DH was back late. Still no ewcm but temp was a bit higher this morning and now I'm worried I've ovulated on CD12 and completely missed it!!! I've always ovulate on cd16/17 apart from once on cd14. Bugger bugger bugger

Oh my stats should now read age 29 (birthday today well at 10.12am)

I'm on cd 10 fertile from tomorrow it seems but I don't have opks or anything am ordering when I get to uk (I live in Portugal btw)

Jumping on this thread as July's bus has gone quiet. Am CD 24 and still waiting to test this cycle. My temperature is staying up, I have slight cramping and the ability to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's in a single sitting... although that might not be symptomatic of anything.

Hi beautiful ladies!

Ttc#2
Cycle #5 (af due tomorrow) after mc#2 in February '15
This month was a bit wasted due to dh braking one leg so only dtd on ov day but probably too late. We did not expect to see a bfp so dh and I are ready for August bding as soon as the cast comes out in 12 days.

Reporting in!

Cycle 8
18 dpo but no BFP or AF so either didn't ovulate when I thought, or things just aren't playing ball.

pulpi I can pretty much do that ice cream thing any day of the year.

Welcome folks who've jumped on from July nice to see you again!

Fx pulpi and happy birthday vikki!

Hope everyone else is ok

Right, new stats after the unwelcome arrival of AF yesterday.

Name: spots
Age: 31
TTC: #2
Cycle: 7 (this is getting depressing)
AF due: anytime she feels like it probably 23/24 Aug and testing sometime the following week.

I am starting to feel like we will never manage to get pregnant. And that everywhere I look there are pregnant people. WHERE'S MY BUMP?!? (Sorry for whinge).

Trying to be positive and use this extra unpregnant time to get extra healthy. I am fairly healthy anyway but have upped my exercise and cut down on the refined carbs and sugar. If nothing else hopefully I will feel good for it. Need to persuade DH to cut down on the alcohol. It occurred o me this morning that the first time we conceived he had been dry for six months (back from army tour of duty). Now he's a civvy working in the city and he has gained a gut and a frequent drinking habit. Maybe his swimmers are sozzled?

Hope everyone's having a good Saturday.

Happy birthday Vikki!

I'm having a day off today. I'm usually so good with my good and exercise. Today I should have been for a run but instead I've eaten muffins, tonnes of chocolate from end of term, crisps, bread, cheese and pizza tonight for dinner. Oh and a vat of coffee too!

I also curled up on the sofa and watched a film while dd1 was napping.

Cycle day 3 so I've got time to sort myself out again.

Evening All. CD33 and due to test on Monday/Tuesday. Long cycles are bloody annoying No symptoms to report either way but then AF does tend to sneak up on me without warning. Anyone else still to test in July?

Hey Banana, I'm hoping to test Monday or Tuesday, so long as AF doesn't seek up early.

Ahaaaa yes Pulpi, she of the impressive ice cream consumption....Good luck!

Thanks Banana - You too!

Tonight I'm desperately trying to keep my mind off of the cramping situation and frenzied desire to POAS by watching the Dark Knight trilogy, eating all the chocolate in the house (down to the chocolate chips for cookies now), and knitting baby bonnets. The last one, I readily admit, is not helping.. although the knitting needles keep the DH from making any comments about the mountain of KitKat wrappers and empty Ben and Jerry's carton. Oops.

Pulpi I'm crocheting baby booties for my thousands of friends who are having babies in the next few weeks. It isn't very helpful but they are very sweet and satisfying to make. ????

banana & pulpi I'm testing on Tuesday, assuming af doesn't catch me first, having a few symptoms but am resolutely ignoring them as I've gotten my hopes up before and been wrong!

spots I feel your pain re: cutting down on alcohol.....my fiancé likes a drink and I feel like a baddie pointing out that it can affect sperm quality, it's true though! If af catches me I'm going on a major health kick - mainly as something to distract me from all the endless and never ending temping, tracking, opks etc. It's getting a bit boring and tedious now........

bfn today so my mind is definitely set on August bding.
come on AF!!!

Hi everyone - sorry about all the bfn I will catch up on thread when I get home and back to computer and will update stats.

So as I said earlier in thread I had reflexology last week. Normally I would ovulate between day 16-18 (from 7 months of tracking) so I decided to take a more relaxed approach this month and try and cut back on some of the monitoring. As I'm having reflexology she wants me to temp so I cut out cbfm. So took my temp yesterday and was surprised to show that I ovulated on cd12. Thought it was an anomaly result but nope today temp is even higher again. The only thing I can't think that brought it forward is reflexology but now I've missed out important bd days. but at least my cycle is now shorter

Birchy I also have a bit of reflexology and it might have brought my ov day forward. Not sure as it was combined with maca root and things but will keep having it. Even if it just helps relaxing.
