CD26 (12/13 DPO)

Sorry to hear AF got you and it's so painful purple that sucks!

My cramps have gone NIpples still tender and creamy discharge. Slept well last night. Temp back up to 36.7. I don't know if I will be able to test tomorrow as I have a very early start and away for the weekend. Might have to wait til Saturday which I suppose isn't a bad thing right?

Nim - how's things?! Are you testing tomorrow?

CD4

Jodders/Nim -The first month of the pill my luteal phase was short too. I crazily googled luteal phase defect and started to panic. Next period gave me a huge lp length of over 20 days! Crazy. So think body has to adjust. Jodders- that is looking good for you, creamy CM and high temp.

Sorry purple about AF, hope pain eases soon. Well done though for losing that weight, that is great!! Keep it up. :)

Nim- hope it's not AF for u and just implantation spotting or something. Hope it won't spoil your holiday. X

Still bleeding a bit, but much lighter- so am hoping they will still do a scan tomorrow.

CD1 AF has properly arrived. Decided to be positive though. I spent way too much this month, had to borrow from the baby fund, so I need another month to save up.

Sorry Nim So is there just me left to test this month?? Oh man!!!

FF says period is due Sunday so going to try to hold off til Saturday morning to test. Just bought a dual pack of the clear blue tests. You know the one with the normal test and the digital with conception indicator. I have never used CB before but as you know I don't have a good history with FR so giving these a go. I don't feel like this is my month though.

Sorry nim and purple and for you xx

Fx jodders!

Sorry to hear you were visited by the witch ladies... I agree about the saving thing though, we're in the middle of a loft conversion and ground floor extension, already over budget, so every months extra pay will be helpful in the long run!
Oooo good luck Jodders!!! xx

Hello day 8 you've come around quick better dial up the DTD!

Podcast recommend for podcasters - Fertility Friday! Really interesting fertility chat, lots of useful information eg cervical mucus and charting, preconception nutrition, sleep and fertility blah blah - there's loads.

Happy Friday everyone

CD 27 (13/14 DPO)

Eeeekkkkk that is all!! I resisted. I didn't test. Tomorrow it is. No AF. Temp 37. Sensitive boobs.

CD7
No DTD this cycle yet Jem, DH keeps talking about being really tired, hope he's more cooperative next week! So much for ever 2-3 days throughout the whole cycle
OMG Jodders this could be it! 37 is very high!!! It's looking good for you... what test have you got in for the morning?? x

Hope DH starts to cooperate more Tee. I feel guilty cos my DH wanted to get it on last night but I was too damn tired!

I have a clear blue. I was really put off FRER after the indents I kept getting last month. I haven't ever used a CB before though. It says I can use from the four days before but I wanted to be sure which is why I left it. I honestly would rather see AF than a negative especially at this point of my cycle. I'm actually afraid to test tomorrow but I have a birthday party so I need to know whether to drink or be designated driver.

I was in the same boat last Saturday! Would always rather wait for AF and was so nervous having to test a day early because I had a hen do! I also used my Clearblue which I was saving, came in a pack with the digital one, so I still have that for when things are looking more positive! I think you'll have a better outcome than me though, really good sign that your temp is still up! Got everything crossed for you!! x

CD8

Jod looking really positive!! Super excited. Remind me when you ovulated and when you dtd?

We are dtd every other day this month and a bit more round ovulation maybe. Dtd cd 6 so on it again tonight.

FW comes round so quick again! Shame tww doesn't feel so quick.

Nice long weekend for us :) xx

Jodders everything crossed for you!

Tee no DTD for me yet either oops will correct that tonight!

Good work radders, what day do you think you'll ovulate? I reckon it will be next Saturday for me - day 16

Finished work early for the bank Hol, and the sun is out

I ovulated on cd14 last month I think so around Thursday next week. So might dtd Wednesday Thursday and Friday to make sure covered. I'm not going to opk so will just go with how I feel etc

I've been having cramps and twinges today ... If was in tww would be reading into it but obviously nothing is happening! Goes to show how mind goes crazy

I'm expecting to ovulate next Thursday or Friday (CD13/14). Radders it's so true about symptom spotting!! I keeping having moments where I think 'ooo my skin is hot', 'ooo I felt a bit sick then'... then I remember where I am in my cycle and realise just how much we must think about symptoms! I think you've got a good approach to this cycle. I will do a few opks, and minimal temping, just for peace of mind. Are you still on aspirin? I think it's making me bruise like a peach! If I'm not upduffed this cycle, I might reduce to every other day, as I've been on it for 3 months now.
Footprints hope you found childcare and got to your appointment, looking forward to hearing how you got on!! xx

CD5

Hello everyone.

Update-
I had scan today, was no bean in there hiding. The sonographer said nothing is jumping out at her and can't see anything untoward so I think I can relax a bit and take that as good news! She said the pains sound like crazy hormones. The results go to gp but lady was assuring me I think?!
Period slowing down now so hoping i will slowly get back to normal cycle. Still have gynae appt on Tuesday which my mum is babysitting for.

Did a fsh dip test yesterday as I ordered a HomeKit and it was negative. So that is good (if positive -means high fsh levels as I previously had so I really am hoping this is all good news and things might start clicking back into action.

Thanks for your ongoing support girls X

Tee-heard that aspirin causes bruises.

Jodders- woo hoo high temp again is really good news. My temp at that dpo was dropping dramatically! So fingers crossed xx

Forgot to mention- luckily I didn't need the transvaginal scan as she could see on the outside! I had a very full bladder. (Had to drink 2pints!)

Thanks for all the well wishes...I don't really have any symptoms to speak of at all today I'm so nervous about testing! No AF and I'm on constant knicker watch!

Radders i DTD on CD 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21
I didn't get a positive OPK because I was busy and didn't get a chance to test on CD 13 & 14 but I seem to get a gradual darkening and I assume I ovulated on either CD 13 or 14 (could be totally wrong)

I had really strong cramping on CD 24 (10DPO).

On paper I think it looks good but we'll see.

I took dong quai until CD 12. I took magnesium, Arctic sea omega 3, B12 with folic acid, field of greens and bee pollen.

Hubby took vitamin c, Arctic sea, and bee pollen.

PS really good news that all looks fine footprints!

Tee I'm just the same. I could smell something really pungent earlier and thought Ooh! then remembered I'm day 8 and just finished my period MUST REMEMBER THIS IS IN TWW!!

Footprints sounds really positive yay

Jod, we're all cheering from the sideline! Sounds so promising! I also used a clear blue non digi at 14 dpo (day I got BFP)with evening urine and it was very dark. I know everyone's tests are different but I like those. Just out of interest why are you saying AF due Sunday? Didn't you have a shorter LP last cycle? If it's based on FF they were always a few days later than Ovia for me and never correct! Ovia calculated exactly two weeks after pos OPK and it was always spot on. Ridiculously excited for your testing.
Hi everyone else, hope all is well! Glad to see positive outlooks for the month ahead. Tee that was a fantastic list of June BFP perks. Should be in the OP of the next thread! Footprints glad today was a good experience and good luck next week!
9 weeks tomorrow and going for an early scan next week. I'm still very emotional and crying at the silliest things! nothing else to report!

Lovely hearing from you Parney. Yes I'm going by FF and I did have a short LP last month. I'm content to wait til the morning to test anyway. If it's negative I will be gutted though.

Good luck with your scan parney let us know how you get on x
