Hope you're enjoying date night Moonlight! It's nice to relax a take a breather after the hecticness of the run up to ov!

Aw Bobo I really hope you go into that appointment telling your gp that you're up'duffed!! How many dpo are you hun? Ha, DH is so not looking forward to his fun in the cup! He's worried he won't be able to get the deed done whilst sitting in a go surgery toilet sorry, tmi!! I feel much better getting tests done chick because at least I feel like I'm doing something positive to try and aid the process! I know it'll take ages for our fertility referrel appointment but at least the ball is rolling (and if it happens naturally before that then even better!!). Have you thought what you're going to say to your gp?? You've been having ov pains haven't you? Definitely mention the pains! I felt like I was being fobbed off & nothing was being done until I mentioned my monthly pain. Really hope this is the cycle for you though Mrs! Xx

Gp toilet*

Haha bless! Must be pretty awkward for him though 😆
I'm so glad it's making you feel better about it all 😊 And I secretly hope you're going to be one of those couples who just start investigations/treatment and fall pg naturally 😊
I'm 7 dpo now! Going to test on Thursday with af due Friday but not feeling hopeful as usual lol!
I'm definitely going to mention the pains again! This time I'm actually seeing my proper dr who has recently had her second baby so I'm hoping she will be sympathetic 😊

Thanks ladies, had a lovely night! Oh it's nice to not have to get up for work today! Still lazing in bed 😁. And I didn't feel sick after eating which was good well maybe a bit but pretty sure that was the mammoth portions of pasta and cake

Thursday is creeping closer bobo! Fx for you!

Hi ladies, well I did a pg test this morning, no idea why... Neg obviously. Silly cow.

I've only been off the pill 4 weeks and this is doing my head in already. Ttc is all I think about I'm constantly googling and reading things... And it's getting on my nerves. I need to calm down and get a hobby. Giving myself the hump today.

I just want af so I can get on with it!! 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Luci I know it's frustrating but you could have a long wait yet. You need to book a day out or a weekend away - somethingo focus on and look forward too 😊 You need to distract yourself my lovely!

Soooo I always get white stodgy cm in the tww but I've been getting some stretchy stuff the last two days 🤔 Thought I'd do an Opk to satisfy my poas need to check I'm not gearing up to ov again and got a pretty dark line 😯 Now I'm confused! I don't think I'm ov'ing (no spots, no aches, cm is all white) so trying not to get my hopes up that it's a sign of a bfp to come deep down a part of me is freaking out with excitement but I know it's unlikely!

i know I know... Work should keep me occupied this week, got a wedding on Friday night and were staying over. I've got plans for the next few weekends, 1st wedding anniversary in October and a hen do. So plenty to keep me busy... But still hard not to think about it.

That is a dark line BoBo! Let's hope it is a bfp to come!!! 😁

Can you get an lh surge before a bfp then? X

Naught bobo!!!! Fx for you though 😁

luci not a lh surge but they can some times pick up hcg...

an Opk can pick up hcg so it can give a dark line if your pregnant but I wasn't sure if it builds up to a dark line like it would with an lh surge but after a quick google some women have had a build up and then a bfp so it's possible! Also found out you can have an lh surge just before af so it's another could-be-pg-could-be-af symptom!!

Just to add to all the confusion! Haha! Well fingers and toes crossed its a bfp for you BoBo! X

Fingers crossed for you BoBo!!!

Well after a bit of a melt down on Saturday night and a nice day on Sunday feeling better. Just got to keep trying. Thankfully not a particularly bad AF so feeling fine. Have decided to focus on my fitness and eating rather than stressing esp as I was worried over exercising wouldn't help and now I'm just piling on the pound so even less u happier lol went a nice run today.

Actually going to fertility reflexology session tonight. The lady was recommended by a friend who was trying for ages and now has a little girl. Might help settle my own periods into a better routine and just help me relax about the whole situation. Will let you know how it goes

Thinking positive

Hi ladies, haven't posted in a while as well it seems there isnt really much going on with me, continually 'lurking' though, hope you dont mind!! After a promising 38 day second cycle I am now on cd55, cycle 3 so looks like its another long cycle, so frustrating! Every few weeks seem to be having like a tiny bit of ewcm but then nothing ever comes of it, so it seems like Im gearing up for something and then.for whatever reason it stops!!

Ooh Bobo, I do hope it is your month, fingers crossed!!! Lets think positive

Interesting what you say about the exercise thing shoney. I am pretty into my exercise too, 4/5 times a week kinda routine, but im not underweight, even put on a few pounds since stopping the pill. Hoping thid isnt having a negative impact on my cycles..........

Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday

Ooh Bobo I'm excited for ya chick!! Do you any cheapy preg tests lying about? I would be tempted to use one since you have a pretty dark line! Here's hoping it's a bfp woooo!!

Hi Cat, sorry to hear your cycles are so long! If it's any help, I sort of went through similar cycles to you! 36 days follow by 2 cycles in the 50s! Then it did settle after cycle 3. Hope it settles down for you hun.

Well I had the usual pelvic pain today so I'm assuming I've ov'd! Gutted that we had a night off last night but have been 'at it like rabbits' lol all last week up until Saturday night. Will go again tonight then the 1ww begins (hopefully even a 10 day wait or beyond if my luteal phase plays ball ) xx

Ooh BoBo fingers are crossed for you!!

Luci eventually you will have Googled everything and even rephrase everything you Google and if you're anything like me continue Googling until you get an answer you like the look of. I have read so many contradicting things over the past few weeks that I have decided not to Google anymore!

Currently crocheting my pregnant friends some baby cardis and booties (secret practice run for when it's my turn!) to take my mind off it all. As well as getting ready to go back to work next week!

Feel your pain ladies, only on cycle 1 post pill but 44 days so far 😢😢

Shoney I'm glad you're feeling better, having a meltdown (although awful at the time) can help you get things in perspective in the long run, well it does me!! xx

Thanks for the good luck girls!

Cookie I have 2 ic's left! I was trying to wait until 11/12 dpo! I'm 8/9 today... Might have to just go for it in the morning though eeek 😆 I think it would be better for me to see a bfn to stop getting too excited haha
Yay for ov!! I'll be counting down the days until you can test 😄 Xxx

Hi Ladies,

Could I join?
TTC #1
Cycle 12
Age 32

Trying my best to think about anything else but not always easy. Life seems to revolve around tests and praying after does not come.

Finally recovered from my post-wedding hangover... Definitely made the most of a few too many glasses of vino!

Welcome BBS, you're in good company here with feeling like that but everyone is lovely if you need a place to let it all out!

Sorry that the witch got you shoney and for the bfn johno,* hope you're ok lovelies fx for you bobo!*

Moonlight I'm so impressed you're crocheting, I tried knitting once and it was a disaster! Although I enjoyed it which (as my DH told me) was the main thing

Hey bb!! Welcome 😊 Cycle 12 you poor thing! Hang in there and we will all be sending baby dust and good luck to you in hopes of a bfp soon!!!

Ooh Moonlight I love crocheting 😊

9 dpo for me and... Positive Opk/negative hpt 🤔😦😩

May just be that bit too early for the hpt BoBo. Give it a go in a few days fx x

Welcome BB! Ah cycle 12! I feel your pain as I'm not far behind you! We're all here to hand hold and for support. Hope this is your lucky cycle!

Ooh this is so interesting Bobo! I'm feeling so optimistic about this chick, eeeek!! I wonder if it would show up on a frer?? (Not trying to persuade you to test early ). Or do you think you've ov'd late?! Why do our bodies play silly beggers with us! Xx

Ah bobo my turn to be your cheerleader. When you going to test next? AF arrived this morning with a bang. 39 day cycle, so onto cycle #9 now I think?! Any other tips for trying to shorten LP/ov earlier. Am on seven seas and agnus castus. Also tried evening primrose oil before but other than a 31 day cycle initially after starting AC they're all over the place. What I wouldn't give for a "normal" 28 day regular cycle. Feeling a bit down and fed up. Think we need a BFP to cheer us up nudges bobo X

BoBo, perhaps test again on Friday? 😁

I was in a right mood yesterday, can't remember the last time I was like that. Just felt like sh*t all day. Didn't actually get dressed until 7pm! About 9pm had a bit of a backache. Maybe signs of af? I'm on cd26 first cycle off the pill. x

I'm back after a weeks absence and just caught up on all your posts- hope you're all well?

Fingers Crossed BoBo for a BFP in the next couple of days!! :D

I have no idea what is going on with my body right now, Its been 8 weeks since my miscarriage and I still haven't had a period. Have had spotting on and off but nothing heavy enough to make me think its AF. No noticeable EWCM either so not sure I've even ovulated? Still waiting on my scan results to see if I have PCOS. I'm so fed up of it all now, just want to be pregnant again. :(

I have my fingers crossed for you so hard, Bobo!

Still keep checking in on this thread to see how you're all doing. Currently very nervous about my early scan on Thursday...
