eva i didn't get a positive opk til cd16 so don't stress too much.
I now have a question. Last cycle (as it's the pnly one I can mention as before I was on the coil) i had quite bad lower back pain and then within an hour AF turned up. I got this back pain once again today around midday but nothing so far. Really think she is on her way but my body is torturing me with the uncertainty. Any advice??? Xx

rausten I always get bad back pain before AF starts, to the point where it hurts to lie down etc and then it tends to go away on the 2nd day of my period. If it's not normal for you for it to come then go away that sounds really positive! How many dpo are you?

Hi sophie i got back pain last cycle and within an hour Af arrived and it continued. When my back pain artived earlier my hesrt sank ad I thought thats it I'm out! But 8hrs later, back pain has gone and still no sign. 13 dpo here so it's driving me mad!!!! X

When are you planning to test?? FX for you! I am waiting for AF to be over so we can start month 2. I was gutted when it was a BFN this month as it would have been a honeymoon baby and I thought that would have been really nice as it's probably not somewhere we will be going back to for a few years.

That would have been lovely! Sounds like DD i was all set for a calm water hypno birth etc and ended up with epidural and every wire possible attached to me, beautiful idea but DC always has a better idea lol. I tested 11dpo and this morning both BFN but I'm not out till af comes aahhhhhh xx

Oh god now my problem seems very insignificant! DH is not too disappointed and is very enthusiastic about trying again this month haha. We DTD twice last cycle during FW but I think it may have been too earlier! Who knows?! I'm trying to think that it must not have happened for a reason and there is such a small percentage every month. When is your period due?

Don't worry Eva, this month I had a positive OPK on CD13 but previous months I didn't get one until CD15. It varies for me, how long is your average cycle?

Tryingtostayrational, that's what I'm hoping but I have been checking my cervix. When I was a lot younger I used to get loads of noticeable EWCM and never really knew what it was because I wasn't TTC. If only that was the case now.

I was due 2 days ago (ish) I'm not exactly clockwork.
With regard to "too early" i recommend the clear blue dual hormone digital opk's they give you a much wider window. I also do my temp over the period just after that to pin point exactly when I ovulate. I find doing this just puts my mind st ease that I knew exactly when it happens lol.
Also with planning stuff (and As you can see I am the over planner lol) DC will happen in it's own time. It took me 5 months last time and I'm hoping for 4 cycles or less this time.
Trying my best to stay calm lol

rausten, I felt the same in terms of temping putting my mind at ease!

So AF got me in the night. sad] onto cycle 3. Oh well

Sorry to hear that rausten

Thanks tryingtostayrational, rausten and sienna you made me feel better last night. I got the positive OPK this morning while has put me in a very good mood for a Tuesday following the bank holiday, and the sun's out in Manchester for a treat!
rausten I'm sorry about AF, that witch.

Thanks girls! Onwards and upwards xx

Sorry Rausten, blimmin AF! Fx for next cycle

I'm now in my TWW. AF is due around 10th June. I think I ovulated Sunday 22nd judging by the CM I had. I could be anything between 4dpo and 9dpo. Not one sniff of a symptom yet but I know it's early on, gna try not to think about it, we move into our house this week which will be a huge distraction. We managed to Dtd 5 times, we did it 3 days in a row then twice spaced out over 4 days which does worry me a bit. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone else xx

Aw Sorry Rausten, I'm also on Cycle 3. Fx for both of us this cycle

Lelly, don't worry. Sounds like you definitely got it covered.

Thanks sienna, this is cycle 3 for me too. I didn't want to do ov tests this month but I randomly did one on Saturday just gone, it had a faint line and as It was near the end of my fertile week il guess I had already ovulated by then which was when we were dtd'ing xx

Lelly, I was the same. Really stressed myself out the first cycle with OPK's so didn't use them the second cycle. This cycle I wasn't planning to use them either, but bought them on a whim as I realised that with both mine and DP's working patterns at the moment we may not get the opportunity to DTD as much as we'd like to make sure we'd covered ourselves. The OPK's helped us pinpoint the most effective days to DTD.

I'm just about to enter the dreaded TTW, eeek! AF is due on June 14th but could be a bit earlier as I think I ovulated a bit earlier. Good luck to both of us x

So the fertile week has begun today. DH is off on business until Friday night and then we're staying with friends on Saturday night. It's looking highly unlikely it'll happen this month.

It's funny. When we first agreed we'd "give it a go" as my wordsmith of a husband put it, we weren't really that bothered if it happened quickly or not. Now that the first fertile window is open we're desperate to jump on each other. We caved and bought a clear blue ovulation testing kit for next month. Husband was all over it last night. He's mind has been blown by it all. Who'd of thunk getting pregnant could be so scientific and interesting.

I guess we've gone from relaxed and taking it easy to - let's make a baby... NOW!

Can I join?

Just had the implant taken out, have started trying... Just going with the flow and waiting to see what happens :)

What an exiting time for us all! :)

Hi All- new to the site...

TTC past month but currently have period so hoping June will come along with a nice surprise....

Have loads of questions for you lovely ladies if you don't mind?

(I have a nearly 2yr old little hulk at home so hoping for an addition to the family next year)

sienna definitely good luck! I have a load of ovulation tests and preg tests as I bought preseed and it came with them. I used the ov tests last month and it was while we were on holiday in the US and I do think the time difference played havoc and we probably ended up Dtd at the wrong time! Is anyone else using preseed? X

If I don't get a BFP this cycle, I plan on using preseed. Lack of CM is definitely an issue for me

this is my second cycle using it. I did read so much online about people who conceived first go so I massively got my hopes up! It's good though it does help xx

Lelly Sienna - what's preseed all about.
