Hi all you lovely ladies,

essence we had that problem last week, house full of family right at the wrong time, it does make it harder, good luck!

storm I'm not sure what happened to you with your last pregnancy as I'm new here, but if you need to talk about something then counselling sounds like a great idea. Sometimes it's hard to move on and maybe lifting that weight off your mind will really help with the TTC.

harry - how scary, feet up and make your partner run around after you. Great that the baby all looks good though.

So I got a peak on CD17 and CD18, the lines were really dark on the stick as well. BD on CD17 but by CD18 we were really far too tired to do it again so didn't do it that night, now I'm obsessing that I ovulated on CD19 or something and I've missed my chance. :) I've given up booze this month as I've read it can mess up your hormones and I think it is having a difference. Last 2 months I've not really got a dark line on ovulation tests and I got a nice dark one 2 days running on them (I like to double check and I have loads of internet cheapies left over). So fingers crossed!

Timings sound good to me row fingers crossed for you xxx

Harry what a shock and a worry that must have been for you, so glad all is well with Baby. Like Row said get them feet up and do nothing means do NOTHING. I have my fingers crossed for you that a week of bedrest sorts it all out.

Row got my first counselling session on 7/9 so really hoping that it helps. DP seems to be coping really well and is finally moving on but I kinda feel like I'm being left behind. Feel terribly guilty for terminating at 15wks due to fatal nueral tube disorder. Have struggled more these past few weeks than I did when it all happened. I'm sure that counselling will help - have to be positive .

How is everyone else???

Afternoon All!

Harry sorry that you had a scare but glad that all is well. Do as the DR's say and it'll be fine. Wishing you an incident-free reaminder of your pregnancy.

Storm it's good to talk through your feelings with someone trained to really listen.

Good luck, Row for this month.

Does anyone have anything nice planned over the bank holiday weekend?

We are shopping for carpet to cover up the paint splodges on the floorboards in our front room [not very glamourous but quite exciting]. Otherwise, we are just chilling out on our own, which we haven't done in a while.

storm you have my utmost sympathies, that sounds so incredibly hard and also unfair. It's no surprise that you are finding it hard to move on. I hope counselling really helps you.

lychees chilling sounds wonderful and you won't be stuck in traffic.

We're are off to see the hubbie's friend in Stratford Upon Avon. Hoping the weather holds out so we can sit by the river and chill a bit. It's going to rain all weekend isn't it?

Hello all!
Hope you're all having a good bank hliday weekend!
We've still got inlaws here until Tuesday morning. Tomorrow my parents are coming over for a bbq too - hope the rain stays away!
Then next week I have the week off work. Our new kitchen units are being fitted in our extension and next weekend is my brother's wedding.

All v exciting but far too busy!

Storm - I really hope the counselling helps. What you've been through is unthinkably hard and painful. I'm sure it will be the start of a new phase for you.

row - fingers crossed! That timing sounds v good :)

rosie - sorry this doesn't seem to be your month. Your plan for 3pm testing makes sense.

Harry - that must have been so scary but I'm relieved that things are ok. Take it easy and make the most of resting.

Hello ljg, Lychees and anyone else around

Hi ladies,

All this resting is taking it out of me The doctor has also banned sex - dp not happy

Storm I really feel for you and hope that the counselling helps.

Hope you're all enjoying the bank holiday weekend x

Morning all, i have updated the stats for today and plonked myself at the bottom of the pile - AF got me today so its time to start again. I am definately setting that M button for 3pm today though - will just make sure i hold on from about 11 am till 3 pm every day that i am testing - feel alot more confident about getting a high that way too.

Emmylou I tend to count like yo - assume the following day is ovulation and then the day after as CD1 although there are some people that count the day after a high as CD1 - hopefully someone else will tell you what they do as well. I had a stupidly long cycle last month after oving on CD 23 - your body will probably make up for a later ovulation that way rather than you having a short leutal phase i think.

Harry glad to hear you are resting up!

Storm sounds like its something that both you and your DH could benefit from together, i really hope it helps you out as i am :( to hear that you are struggling, normal im sure but still very hard on you both.

essence hope your busy weekend went well!

Row good luck!

Sorry if i missed anyone else out - hope everyone has had a good bank holiday though :)

Just updated list as AF began today ... was so positive this month as 3 days ago I thought AF began, but so light - spotting I guess - gave in and took a test as not had that happen before (an early response one), got a BFN, yet nothing until today! Not had a miscarriage before, so am pleased I know it is not likely to be that. So scared of early menopause for some reason.

Storm hope that helps you, sounds a really positive step to take.

emmylou I chart and use a CBFM, and my chart temps start going up the day after my second CBFM peak (I usually get two peaks per cycle). So I assume that I ov on the second peak, and the day after that is 1DPO. HTH.

Really sorry AF got you Rosie and Keziah.

Yet another RL pg announcement this evening which takes the count to nine in five months [I reckon that it must be some kind of record]. Again, another blow and . I wish I could stop taking it so personally.

I have my first fertility clinic appointment tomorrow morning and this includes a trans-vaginal scan. Does anyone know what happens?

I'm nervous about it.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Hello Lovely CBFM Gurus,

I am wondering if I might be able to get some advice from you and your supportive thread ? I am finding myself in a bit of a confuddled state this month and would appreciate some advice from wiser CBFM users than I... needless to say, this is my first cycle with it!

All started off well and I was thrilled to get a high on day 18 , two peaks on days 19 and 20 followed by a high on day 21. I made the assumption that I had ovulated on probably day 20 and that was that. Here I am on day 43, two BFNs later I'm really puzzled as to why my period has not arrived if I am not pregnant and am wondering if the CBFM could get it wrong Does anyone have any experience of this or any advice they could offer?

Thank you so much in advance :)

Well I said I wouldn't test until day 40 as that would be defiantly late. I got to day 38 (which happened to be my 1st wedding anniversary) and resisted. Mon morn (day 40) I took out the test from the drawer went to poas but before I did AF had arrived. So at least I didn't test as those negatives are heartbreaking.

In other news, I got offered a new job. This one doesn't involve going away so at least I'll be in the same post code as hubby at the crucial times. I'm going to hand my notice in today which I feel glad about as I've disliked my going away part of my job for a couple of years.

Sorry about af to Rosie and Keziah
Good luck to Lychees for today. At lest you're getting things moving by finding out. I really think I will have to start the process as it's been a year now.

Hello to everyone else.

Morning everyone how are you all?

Sorry not been on in a few days, been really busy and TBH a bit disheartned after the RL pregnancy announcement last week.

Harry glad to hear all is ok with the little bean. That is shocking no-one was there to scan you. Enjoy your rest

Row your timing sound good to me so FX for you.

Lychees totally empathise with the over RL pregs. I'm off to a baby shower this week, don't know how I am going to deal with it.
Did you get a nice carpet?
Best of luck for your appointment today. I think you'll be having the same scan I got last week. It was absolutely fine, basically a willy shaped probe which they insert. It was over in 5 minutes and much less uncomfortable than a smear. You'll be absolutely fine hun. Do let us know how you get on.

rosie sorry to hear abnout AF

keziah so sorry AF got you hun I'd noticed you seemed a bit more positive last month. Try and not let it set you back, although I know easier said than done

Missy sorry AF got you too however congrats on the new job maybe the fact that you'll be happier there will have a positive impact on TTC?

Anyone else I've missed hi

Sorry for AF missy, Keziah and rosie

felicityFlick - sorry I'm not sure... Do you normally have regular cycles?

RL pregnancies - it's really tough. I try to be really happy for them but inside my heart is breaking.

CBFM gave me a peak yesterday and today and my OPKs were +ve yesterday and Sunday. Temp still not raised though so I reckon I should ovulate today or tomorrow. DH is under strict instructions for tonight!
(Btw have you notice - CBFM, OPKs and temping? Desperate? Me?!)

Hello everyone else :)

Hello Felicityflick, I don't think the CBFM would give you a peak if it didn't detect LH. But I've never come across this before. Perhaps give Clearblue's helpline a ring, they are normally quite good. Sorry, I've not been much help.

Well done on the new job, MissyRaines but sorry AF got you.

Boba, I completely understand your feelings re: RL pregnancy announcements. I thought I'd get better at handling it as time went on but each time I hear one, it's a total shock to the system and I don't know how to react anymore.

Good luck on the 2ww, Emmylou. And good luck with the BDing, Essence.

I had my appointment today. Got my blood results explained properly and the consultant does think I'm ovulating - hooray!

My scan showed that everything is fine, my egg reserve is good and I should be ovulating from my right ovary this cycle.

They took bloods for AMH testing which is a better indication of ovulation and it was recommended that I book in for a HSG and DH has another SA to check for abnormalities as this wasn't checked previously. I was told the HSG had to be done betweeen CD7 and CD10 which means that I have to wait until next cycle now.

Otherwise, all seems okay which is a relief but also a bit frustrating. I really hope we don't end up being one of those couples who has unexplained secondary infertility.

Hi toe everybody else!

Thanks ladies for your help. Ringing the helpline is a great idea. I think I'll do that now!

You're all lovely over here.xx

You're welcome, Felicity.

New tip from the consultant; you should BD to at least up to FIVE days after you ovulate.

TBH, we're frazzled by the time I get my low after my peaks so we stop. But if you do not actually ovulate until the second peak or high after the peak, then you should really keep going. I'm going to try and do this this month and see if I get my BFP.

Boba, I didn't find a carpet [everything in the shops is beige and I need a nice grey] so I'm back to it again this weekend.

Lychees - good news from your appt :) V pleased to hear you have a good egg reserve too! Oh gawd ... 5 DAYS!!! im literally horizontal with relief after the fertile period is over, maybe thats where i am going wrong though i will join you in your consultants advice just incase he is right - would be worth it for a bfp. Im temping too so hoping that they show me if i have actually ov'ed

Set my M button at 3pm yesterday - im going to have some trouble remembering to poas in the afternoons though so will have to set some sort of reccurent alarm or something for this cycle.

Good luck on your 2ww emmy!

Lychees that's great news from your appointment. I too didn't want to be unexplained infertility but according to the first consultant we saw that has the best outcome for having an actual baby. Doesn't help the frustration though!

I'm getting my HSG on Thurs this week so I'll try it out for you first and let you know FX you won't need yours. Your appt today was at private clinic wasn't it?
