Sorry to hear that Princess, here's hoping for next month (or should I say later this month - at least you have a nice short cylce!!).

PallasCat · 06/08/2015 16:40

Oh - so sorry Princes.

I'm going to be away for a few days. Will do a FRER while away but probably won't be able to update or check-in. Carrot keeping my fingers crossed the lines get stronger and stronger. And very best to everyone else testing over the weekend. xx

Emilygremily · 06/08/2015 17:03

5dpo (i think) and had some cramping today so think i may have OV earlier than i thought as this is typical AF Cramps :(

CarrotVan · 06/08/2015 17:26

So sorry princes let there be gin...

Have a nice weekend pallas

MrsNuckyThompson · 06/08/2015 17:37

Emily - don't want to get your hopes up but when I was pregnant with DS it didn't even occur to me to test because I was sure the cramps I was getting were AF on the way. I was so sure that I had a wine fuelled evening and smoked several cigarettes before testing two days later and realising what i'd done!! Shock DS is fine by the way!!

Jellybean100 · 06/08/2015 17:47

My AF pains are stronger today too. Did a test 10dpo today stupidly and was negative. Think AF is just around the corner

magpiedreams · 06/08/2015 20:25

Have been lurking on this thread to see how you ladies from the July bus are getting on, so just wanted to say sorry to hear about AF princes and tentative contracts to carrot - I felt exactly the same anxiety this time after a MC and a molar in the last year. I really hope it works out for you this time. Being busy is a good thing I think, I've been really busy with work and time has gone by much faster. 6w now and scan today looking ok. Fingers crossed for you, and hope everything's ok with your mum too.
Rooting for everyone else too. Will keep lurking and cheering from the sidelines to see how you're getting on! Xx

3Princes99 · 06/08/2015 21:44

Thankyou everyone! I am getting to the point where I've had enough now and next month will be my last cycle I think. Got to think of the future and make plans starting with a house move :) I want to enjoy my children and be grateful for what I have.

Magpie that's great, glad your keeping well, stay in touch

Fx for you carrot for a darker line over the next few days x

Emu123 · 07/08/2015 07:34

Emu - have you dropped below cover line?

Carrot I'm keeping fx for you!

We need some good news! Maybe this blue moon was doing something funny to us all!

Emu123 · 07/08/2015 08:40

Well it dropped to just above but I temped super early so I did it again when I woke up properly and it was miles below it - the lowest it had been all month.

Sorry to hear you have AF Birchy. Your chart looked really positive this month - so annoying. Good luck for your clomid cycle xx

CarrotVan · 07/08/2015 08:42

So sorry birchy and emu

MrsNuckyThompson · 07/08/2015 09:18

Sorry that this is not the month birchy and emu.

Carrot - have you a darker line now?

daisylassy · 07/08/2015 09:43

Birchy nd emu - I'm so sorry, this ttc thing really sucks x

FX the clomid works. Four folks I know have been successful once they have gone on the clomid so fingers crossed for you Birchy x

CarrotVan · 07/08/2015 10:10

thanks daisy - although I dont really have much hope as I have always thought it was for people who didnt ovulate and I do ovulate but just all over the month (never consistent date) but anything is worth a try right!

Does anyone know of anyone taking it to regulate ovulation and it working?

Sorry Birchy and Emu Sad Wine Thanks

CarrotVan · 07/08/2015 11:52

It's not available yet blondebabe but it's just another way of taking basal body temperature and charting.

Emu123 · 07/08/2015 11:56

Thanks for the kind words guys - it's really appreciated. Have an interview this afternoon so will be enjoying some wine on the weekend.....!

Carrot - everything crossed for u.

Birchy - my sil took it and got pregnant second cycle with twins! She used to ovulate late. I think people who ovulate still take it as it tends to make you release more than one egg so increases your chances each month

Poor you crunchy that sounds horrible

lilygirl81 · 07/08/2015 13:18

How are you all today? I'm alright, but fairly sure this month will be a BFN. I have no symptoms that I can't attribute to my painkillers. By this point I normally have aching boobs are pain under my arms, but absolutely nothing like that. I stupidly did a test this morning, which not surprisingly was a BFN, but it was 6 days early so completely pointless anyway!

crunchy how are you feeling today?

I've decided to try the Ovia app as I wasn't terribly pleased with FF, and I had been using period tracker, but that's not in depth enough for ttc. Hopefully AF will arrive quickly now and I can get going on cycle 2. DH is not drinking at the moment, apart from the odd whisky, and has stopped wearing tight boxers. I was really impressed that he thought it was sensible for me to temp, rather than thinking I was obsessing, so I think he is feeling much more positive. It would be rather nice to conceive on our 2 year anniversary on the 25th. so I'm staying positive and happy.
