I use Pink Pad which I have done for a few years to track my periods. It's got a lot of data on me! It's very basic but has a journal function and I like making notes about mood, physical changes etc. Very helpful for looking back on so I don't get carried away by every twinge! Can't believe it's June and we started trying in January. I never thought it would take this long.

Oh yes, you did mention that, doh!
Yeah I don't use it that seriously either, just input data over FW, then don't bother after that, but still like to read the daily notes etc. Will you be dipping back into temping next week?

Jem I don't think anyone realises how long it will potentially take. To be honest I was quite honest with myself on how long it could take. When you actually start though I think we all hope we're the lucky ones that catch quickly.

An old work colleague messaged me and they're pregnant and she said it was a complete shock. So obviously wasn't planned. How do these people fall pregnant when not planning?!
I think there's less stress there so probably helps.

Tee I will take my temp end of next week to see if it has dropped. I know then if AF will be here. It dropped the day before last time. To be honest I will POAS before then anyway probably. I will just use the ICs I think to take away the urge and save the FRERs. Although the ICs say they're more sensitive I still don't think they pick it up as well do they?

Lucy - how are you feeling? Have you done a CB??

Next appointment is first week in July Radders. We have told parents and close family. One of my best friends has known for as long as I have ☺️ We won't announce or anything like that, just let people know as we see them from next weekend!
Thanks guys, it really is a bean! Hopefully lots of BFPs to come. Am I right in saying any BFPs this week would lead to March babies? Spring is such a fab time of year to welcome a bundle I'd imagine. Even for Mum in late stages of pregnancy!

No more streaky brown cm - seen it only twice today when wiping. Hardly anything it was. Developed a tummy ache tonight and a bloated tummy. So I am confused and will see what tomorrow brings.

Jem- thanks for that list again, is good to keep reading things and keeping us alert.

Parney- aww that's so lovely seeing your little bean. Amazing how you can see something so small. Glad u are well.

Yes next week line up is looking good. Quite a few of us! as we all ovulated within a few days of each other.

Physic- I know what u mean.. I want to know early as possible. Only have one IC one here.

You're right radders. I think my expectations may have been different as a close friend fell pregnant first try - seemed effortless.

Parney I think we would be having March babies if next week goes well. God I really hope it does!

Footprints that really does sound like ib fx

Cd 23 9 dpo

Ovia said to me that with when I ovulated it would be 20th-24th February. Something like that! So end of Feb/beginning of March.

I'm still quite gassy, the other day at work I would walk and it would just fall out! Like no control. But sometimes that can be what you've eaten can't it. Although never had that before with no control over it.

Will know soon enough now!

CD2

Having the heaviest period so far. This may be tmi but filled two super lillets overnight and when I took them out both times a gush of blood flew out after them that had obviously been sat waiting to come out. This was 4am and then 7am. Would folic acid/ pregnacare make periods heavier?

I'm so teary and snappy, classic PMS

Ps sorry to hear that - is it painful? Wonder why this has all suddenly happened this month

Sucha - don't get too down. Early signs are similar to PMS so don't make yourself anxious over it.

I'm not emotional at all and very happy which to me is weird as when I did get a BFP I was so emotional! So it works both ways. I could be thinking I'm not emotional so definitely BFN. We can drive ourselves crazy with it.

Off to London today - seeing Aladdin tonight in theatre - nothing like a bit of Disney to lighten the mood!

I'm going to do a FRER on Monday I think

Thanks radders, it's probably not being helped that I've been stuck in an airport for over 9 hours! Our flight is horribly delayed.

Enjoy Aladdin that sounds like a lovely evening!

Thank you for the tips Parney.
I think you guys are right, sometimes Dtd as often I did this cycle may have been too much. So I'm going to not be so militant about it now I guess.
Thanks for the tips Parney :-)

How's PS? Have I missed an update?

Oh no Jem, stuck at an airport for 9 hours isn't great!! Hope you get moving quickly. Xx

Summer I am on cycle day 2! AF got me. Starting afresh this month

CD 20

Morning everyone!

Symptoms today- temp 36.75! Wow hottest this this cycle! Had a few tummy pains last night but nothing today. No spotting.
Breasts look bigger still and nipples very sensitive. Been a few days like this.

Dtd this morning and it was uncomfortable as my nipples were sensitive which ever position we were in

Jem- poor you stuck at airport! Just think.. 9 hrs closer to testing day.

I've noticed too much dtd there's not much sperm so held off for day or two and loads of it.

Radders- love Aladdin! enjoy!

Ps- sorry AF heavy- hope it eases off.

Tee/Jem- yes hoping its implantation! It looks impressive on my chart as I had a dip of temp that morning of the spotting then today it shot up (suggesting an implantation dip) and on a new temp level now.
Been really tired too.

Morning ladies,
A little update from. Went to my acupuncturist and I believe she sorted out my OV day as it was back on CD14. And consequently my cycle this time is 27 days which is my regular ones. Suffice to say AF arrived today after 2 days of brown spotting (my indicator of imminent AF). So I'm out this month. Disappointed but holding my head high. This battle is not over! It only started 😉

Sorry to hear about others' AF and good luck with the ones are still hanging in there!

See you all next month.

RS x

PS acupuncturist was very happy with my pulse and progress I've shown so far (eating her suggested foods etc) and she reckons I have chances to be pregnant within 3 months. Time will tell....

Cd2 for me today Ps! We are defo cycle buddies :-)

I will next be testing 6th July. Seems so far away!!

CD 17 and positive opk today. Didn't dtd last night as had a massive argument with Dh. Feeling very frisky today typically. I'm hoping we have made up (I think we have but not sure if he will be in the mood). Haven't dtd since Wednesday so don't rate my chances if he doesn't feel like it tonight.

Sounds very positive footprints. Hopefully that's a triphasic pattern. Sorry PS, RS and summer onwards and upwards for the next cycle. I've been forgetting my supplements so need to crack on with them.

I've been forgetting my supplements too Nim. Started first month religiously taking them and now as and when I remember. You might need to butter him up tonight and tell him stuff he'll want to hear (even if u have to grit your teeth).
Sorry Rus to hear you have AF. Acupuncture sounds positive though for you and hopefully it'll give you your BFP pretty soon. I've got my session booked in after AF due. I've had so many appointments with everything that I've not managed to get there and really been crazily spending money I haven't got.
Ps hope the time flies by.

No more spotting for me, tummy feels round (might be the Bbq chorizo burgers and the nobbly bobbly I had at lunchtime.
Physic-how's the job hunt going?
Mimi how u doing?
Who's next in waiting? Physic,radders, Jem,tee and me next week? Who's first Poas?
Radders-hope u enjoyed Aladdin!

Boys go to bed at 7, I'm on countdown..

Things sounding really promising for you footprints - I hope this is your cycle.

Hi Russ thanks for the acupuncture share - I've been thinking about trying this.

Nim - I had a few big rows with DH around ovulation this month. I was being completely unreasonable. I looked this up and apparently this can happen around ovulation - your moods can be all over the place apparently?! That said it might not have been you at fault of course!

Jem - 18
Tee - 18

I'm caving. FRER with FMU tomorrow. I will be 11 dpo and looking at stats, it says 87% correct for 11dpo (stats by brand), which is good enough for me at this point! Been having some serious twinges/ light cramps all day and sore boobs - both not usual for me. So I just really want to know!!

Job hunting not going foot. If I gave notice now I wouldn't be able to leave until Christmas, so not much point! Giving notice in teaching is ridic, unless you are going to another teaching job. Plus if I am pregnant, or get pregnant soonish, I want that maternity leave! I have told myself that next year is my last full year.

That could be turning triphasic footprints, which is not indicative of pregnancy itself, but is a good sign!!!
