No I haven't yet. I know I should have! I kind of have a Dr phobia and a fear of being told I'm infertile. There have definitely been a few months we've messed up the FW but I'm finally plucking up the courage to go next week. I'm not even registered in my new area (very bad I know!). Thank you for your kind words though. It's nice to have lovely people like you to talk to who are going through similar struggles xx

Alexia you should go, they could do tests & tell you everything is fine & then you can take some reassurance from that. Even if they do discover something there is so much they can do these days. I have a close friend who went through tests, she was told her DH had a low count & she had an abnormally shaped womb, they have a beautiful baby boy now. Get yourself registered & make that appointment. Sending you a hug xx

Don't give up, Alexia. I have everything crossed for you for all to be okay.

Thanks Star and Sooz. I will keep you updated. Still no AF here!

How's everything with you guys?

AF has arrived it's so annoying. It's like she's messing with me, showing me these signs, getting me to look at dates & feel excited this could be the month & then bam she shows up & ruins it. Someone at work has announced they are pregnant today too. I'm trying to look on the positive side though, we are going on holiday in August & so I guess I don't need to worry that I might feel sick whilst we are away or worry about the food I'll be eating etc. Not that I was really worried about that but I'm trying to pretend it's a thing to make me feel better!

Oh I'm so sorry the witch got you Starmist I completely understand how you feel. Very small positives but you can also enjoy some on your holiday. Be kind to yourself today. Big hugs xx

AF arrived on cue but still a little bit gutted. On the plus side, I can have a few drinks at my friends hen do next weekend. Her wedding is at the end of August so it may not be a bad thing if I fall pregnant after then. Will be going on holiday in September so am hoping I get lucky then. Hope you're all well and am keeping fingers crossed that we get some more bfps soon xx

Thanks Alexia
Sorry AF got you too Jenny xx

Delurking to post something if that's ok with the regulars ?
I use the Clearblue monitor and normally have 2/3 days of 'high' before the 'peak'. This time it's been on 'high' for a week so far with no 'peak' yet - what's going on ? Starting to think I'm just too old ?

Sometimes you can have an LH surge but not ovulate. Usually in this case your body will try to ovulate again a week or two later. Sometimes you'll just have a period as normal and it will try again next cycle.

AF is due here today but hasn't shown

Thanks Bertie - I'll see what happens.

Hi all
I am a regular 'lurker' - hope regular posters don't mind me butting in!....
Does anyone have any opinions on using opk's as hpts? AF due tomorrow and decided to use an opk today, only to decide whether I need to even bother buying some more hpts as none at home. Opk has come up a really strong positive this morning with FMU?!.....

No idea if this is true or not but I heard that you can get LH surge just before AF....similarly I heard that opks can detect small amounts of pregnancy hormone. If it is the pregnancy hormone that it is detecting then a hpt would pick it up too. Good luck! If it were me and I thought I was pregnant then I would take a hpt to see!

Thank you sonnet...
After feeling optimistic this morning, I'm now feeling u might be right about AF. If no AF by Tom morning I will test with hpt.

Hi love, whatever the results I'd say it was inconclusive using OPK. Hope you get your BFP tomorrow, fx.
AF got me today.

Eva I'm so sorry hun. Sending you a massive virtual hug. Treat yourself to something nice today.

I'm still in limbo, going to get to the doctor's next week. Cd49 and still no AF. I got my best line yet yesterday which hasn't faded like before. It's still not very dark so I'm hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.

Yeah I will get hpt for Tom but thinking I'll be joining u in new cycle Eva

I think AF is coming for me too. Been spotting today but no concrete arrival yet.

Good luck Alexia

So I did an asda hpt with FMU this morning.... There is definitely a line.... What's anyone's thoughts - is it a bfp or is it an evaporation line?!! Don't want to get my hopes up!!

Easily a positive! Congrats!

That's definitely a BFP, congrats! It puts my line to shame lol.

Thanks Bertie

Wow thank you ladies!! I'm just in a bit of shock and confused as I have had no symptoms (aside from insane tiredness a few days but I put that down to travelling last weekend).... And really feel like AF is on its way. I have a clear blue digital that I will try tomorrow...
Xx

I had no real symptoms with my baby until about 6 weeks but really felt like AF was on its way...think it's just all the stretching and implanting etc that's going on! No need to re-test- you're pregnant! Just enjoy it now!

Congratulations love!!!
