STATS

Jellybean100 I completely understand how you feel. I hate that people are so nosy. This time around I just want to be less stressed and just think if it happens it happens. I say that to people who ask about kids.

oh toffee Fingers crossed for a nice dark bfp tomorrow!

princes that sucks I really hope october is the lucky month. I'l be testing on that day too.

Fingers crossed Toffee good luck for your test in the morning!

As for me still no AF CD 43/48 depending if you count pill Withdrawl bleed. I'm getting very spotty but that's about it for symptoms. Wish AF would just show up and put me out of my misery!

Well... With much excitement and anxiety, I did a Clear Blue Digi test this morning and there it was! In black and white. Pregnant 1-2 weeks! Can't argue with that BFP!

I cried. A lot. Happy tears of course. And all a little bewildered that it happened so quickly. And then of course came a surge of guilt, for those that have been trying for longer. I don't know why but I've always thought it would take DH and I a while to conceive. Hats off to DH and his little swimmers - I always underestimate him!

Did think I should be 2-3 weeks rather than 1-2 so I'm already worrying but just trying to be relaxed and do all I can to ensure a healthy pregnancy with as little risk as possible.

I can't thank you ladies enough for the wealth of knowledge and support over the last month - and putting up with my usually elongated posts! What can I say? I'm a talker.

If it's okay, I'd like to stay around this thread for longer - to hear about your own journeys and hopefully to celebrate some more BFPs! And to carry on giving the same support you've all shown me. Don't worry though - I'll keep my pregnancy talk elsewhere as to not be insensitive.

OH MY GOD.

Congratulations toffee!! The clear blue digis are off a bit so 1-2 actually means 2-3 so not to worry! Xx

Great news Toffee! Very pleased for you.

Today was my 5th "High" day in a row on the clear blue fertility monitor. I'm hopeful that Peak might come soon though - I know you aren't meant to look at the lines on the test sticks but I have noticed that where before there was only one, and then a faint second line, the second line now seems quite strong.

Thank you, guys. And thanks for putting my mind a little bit at rest jellybean!

And exciting time for you YouandMe - sounds like ov-day is just around the corner. Go and enjoy yourself .

Yay toffee really pleased for you!

Congrats toffee that's fab news

Congratulations toffee

Congrats Toffee!

I'm out. Another short and frustrating cycle. Roll on October.

Congratulations toffee that's wonderful news

Congrats Toffee!! Great news, I hope you have fun on your next journey!

This is a positive OPK, right?

I wonder if this means I will get a peak on my monitor tomorrow? If I don't, I'll be a bit concerned that it was a massive waste of money!

Awesome toffee.

I'm out, again. Dunno what's going on. Massive temp dip well below cover line, spotting, cramps and backache but only 9dpo. I think ff may have miscalculated this month. Anyway, it was expected.

I've not looked for the oct bus so I figured I'd stick around here for now

Sorry that should be cycle 5. Balls!

Congrats Toffee! Happy for you

Sorry you're out kitty

Well AF still isn't here.. Bought 15 Internet cheapies for £2.80 from Amazon but they're due 17-21 so I guess when I get them that's when I'm going to test! Otherwise if AF shows up I'll update. I'm at CD: 44/49

Hello I'd like to join you lovely ladies to give me somewhere to get through this time

AGE: 40
TTC #: 2. My dc1 is 3.5
CYCLE #:been "seeing what happens" for about 18 months. Nothing has happened and I'm getting old so we've started properly TTC this month.
ETD:don't know what this is....

ETD : is it expected testing date? 23 September for me I'm on day 17 today

ETD is estimated test date Sonia.

Another high on the fertility monitor this morning. But my temp was up slightly. Did I ovulate yesterday? Who knows? We DTD yesterday, and on Wednesday, but not on Thursday. So if I did ovulate yesterday, I'm not sure if that's enough. I guess we'll carry on, and we will see!

I think I may have to book a doc appointment. I've begun to realise that my luteal phase is around 11 days. The longest I've had is 14 days when I had my chemical pregnancy. This cycle was 9 days!

That doesn't sound right does it? I am right in thinking that's short aren't I?

I've had a quick google and read the thread on here and it seems that most people with a short LP either have never fallen pregnant or have suffered early losses. I've not had problems conceiving previously and my loss was a late one. I wonder if my termination or stillbirth has affected my cycles/hormone levels.

I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any thoughts/experience of short LP or cycles being 'off' after a late loss?

Kitty - that sounds pretty normal to me. The 9 days is on the short side of things, but that could be a one off and shouldn't affect things. I'm lucky if I have an LP over 10 days! Mine is often 6-8 days which is very short but the doctor told me not to worry (!).

kitty I think if you're worried then you should definitely chat to your gp. I'm pretty sure an lp of less than 10 days is considered short, but I don't know what effects, if any, it would have on conceiving.

If no one minds, I'm going to kick off the October bus. Af is almost finished, so it's time to get obsessive

A big congrats to Toffee!! x
