Sounds promising physics!

Seems so far away, but I will be testing 9th July a day after AF!

Saying that, DH not around much due to work so will see what happens. In July alone he's in the US for a month solo. Not holding my breath.

Fx for you tomorrow Kate. I would probably test early too if I had any inkling I was pregnant.

Good luck Kate. Looking forward to hearing from you in the morning

Aladdin was amazing! Would highly recommend it
I've done so much walking today though and seemed to have strained my groin - it's painful! Hope it's better overnight.

I've not felt 100% today. Still gassy, bloated and loss a bit of appetite. I've had some twinges hut nothing major.
I will still test on Monday at 11dpo with FRER. If that's negative I will wait a couple of days or so.

Nim did you manage to dtd???

Good luck physics. Yes Radders, although nearly didn't due to a six year old with insomnia ! Feeling much happier.

CD239DPO
How was it Kate??

Physics- thinking of you and hope it's good news xx

Well done Nim- annoying when kids interupt bedroom activities!

CD21

Temp high 36.65
Sore and ultra sensitive nipples
Tummy tender.

Very, very exciting Footprints, how many dpo do you think you are? Lots of luck Physics..

CD3 - period light and seems to be coming to an end. Will prob finish tomorrow. What day in cycle do I need to conciously start dtd regularly?

11 dpo - a lily-white BFN . But at least I don't have to now go in to work today...

Want cycle 3 to start now! Although it took so long to convince dh to start trying, not liking the prospect of a late spring baby! Would make maternity leave suck (because all teachers try to maximise the summer). Grr. Also wanted to tell my parents in America when we go see them in July... but I guess that won't happen either.

Positives: can save more money.

In all likelihood I will be looking at next testing date of 18 July. Jesus that is a long way away. I'm not a very patient person!! Will be on holiday then...

Not looking forward to the next couple of months. No or very little chance of Dtd! I may as well not be on the testing list! ;-(

Kate, you've probably tested a little early. When is af due?

Wednesday/ Thursday. I just couldn't face the prospect of testing and then having to go to work. I've looked on www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/brand-chart.php?hptbrandid=1

And it should be almost 90% accurate for 11 dpo for FRER. I'm trusting this result, as it feels like I'm about to come on. And what with the UTI and antibiotics (again this month) I didn't feel like it was going to be my month anyway...

And my other tracking app says I should be 13 dpo...

Cd24, 9dpo

Sorry about bfn Kate it totally sucks. 18 July sounds like ages away but will come around before you know it. You are also still not out this month. Hope you're alright.

Ps depends on when you usually ovulate and what your strategy is! Mind tends to be lots of DTD during fw. Others go for every other day throughout. I think I might opt for the latter next cycle, as the former is not working!

Fx footprints so promising!

Summer above said, sometimes all it takes is one go. I hope you have some window to fit it in?

Tee radders how are you feeling?

My boobs hurt so much, I'm exhausted (but so jet lagged only just got up - God knows how I'm getting up for work tomorrow!) and that's about it. No twinges or cramps. To be honest I think jet lag is the predominant hold over my body right now, so not sure I would notice anything else. Oh yeah but I forgot my mood swings and crying and chocolate cravings - all point to PMS. Can it really be another week of guessing still...

Cd24 10dpo

Lots of creamy CM, no gas today, still not bloated

Physics sorry it's a BFN - not out until AF shows and I think for some people it doesn't show until later even on FRER. However I know where you're coming from as I will be doing a test tomorrow and am thinking it should show up by now if I'm pregnant.

Tee hope you're ok

Jem do you get sore boobs that bad normally?? Are you waiting to see if AF shows or testing before??

FRERs still on bogof at boots so got two today. Already have a pack of two at home!

Ps your best to start dtd as soon as possible. I think if you leave it to fertile week the sperm isn't fresh. I dtd loads around fertile week last month and didn't get BFP so shows it's not just about dtd then!

Footprints sounding positive for you - can't wait for you to test.

Nimisha glad you got on it!

Hope everyone's feeling ok and staying positive

Still bit bloated that should say!

Radders lots of white coloured cm is a positive sign, fx. I've had a bit but mostly clear I think.

Going to wait for AF I think. I really hate seeing that snowy white stick and tilting it to try and catch a glimpse of a second line. I'd rather see AF than that!

If if get loads of pregnant type symptoms this week then I'll test early. If not then wait out the AF.

Always get sore boobs every month, but not usually this early or this bad. I'm not reading anything into this though. I'm beaten down by too many cycles of failure to get my hopes up now!

Ah sorry to hear that Kate! Still, you're not out just yet...
Footprints I'm feeling excited for you, promising symptoms!
Nimi well done not letting that opportunity pass!
Radders/Jem, continuing to experience a bit more white stuff than usual, but really nothing else of interest to report. Hoping for hot skin next week as that was a clear sign with DS. I'll be waiting for AF rather than testing in advance, feel the same as you about it Jem. Plus I'm being tight not wanting to spend the cash!! Excited for you though Radders! Testing tomorrow did you say?? x

Thanks for sharing russ. I'm surprised to see soya milk on the list though as I thought that was a big no no for fertility. I'd be careful with that if I were you.

Sorry physics , although you are still not out. Hoping for u it's just too soon. I'm desp to know too. Think I'm about 9/10dpo (was away camping at the time so didn't opk or temp however I had ovary twinges and loads of EWCM and very dark opk on the Thursday so think I ovulated by last Friday/sat. Opk was neg Sunday afternoon.

Breasts still sensitive and feels like something is constantly pressing on my tummy. Hot skin this morning. Had to whip my jeans off to put my pjs on at 5pm! Trying to not get my hopes up too much, but these symptoms are different than last month.
Tmi-Not much CM to report so had to do the finger test and was watery creamy but not a great deal.

Rus-thanks for the list of foods etc.. Will try work my way through it.

Omg omg!

Just got home needed a wee and thought screw it going to try IC as have so many but said to Oh it won't show anything. Wee was so week and had not long been for one

Can you see it?! It's so so faint and really hard to see on a picture but in real life it is there!
