    I think I'm getting to grips with my cycle. I think OV is gearing up to arrive any day now going off the last couple of months where I thought it wasn't happening. I think I've been dtd too soon for the past couple of months and missing OV entirely. It's amazing how much insight you gain when tracking.

    I've made an appointment aswell to see my GP, it's not until November but I'm feeling more positive.

    Something I've noticed;
    Apart from occasional very mild AF like cramps the past couple days, as of this evening I'm getting a few twinges/sharper stretchier like pains.... 4 days and counting to test time!

    How do you manage not to just test?! Or will it be too soon for you?

    My ovulation tests arrive tomorrow so I'll start testing after work. Will be CD12 so probably a good time to start.

    Delurking to say... this sounds very promising! The same was true for me this month... Fingers crossed!

    I'm normally a 14day LP and I don't like to test until at least 1 day late, too many sad stories with chem pg and I want to try and avoid any other losses. But I will say, it takes a lot of talking to myself out of it to hold off haha!

    Which OPKS have you gone for?

    Thanks snowscreamer xx

    Feeling a bit like I've resigned myself to AF arriving (although hope to be wrong) just because I keep getting cramps on and off like when AF is on her way this morning, fingers crossed I'm wrong!
    I'm really hoping this cold eases off! Normally I don't pick them up so easily but I went near someone Friday with one and I'd got it by Sunday which is ridiculously quick!!

    Hi Ladies - can I join you?

    I'm 36, OH is 43, we are TTC#1 :) I came off the pill a month ago, CD1 today. I'm using an app to track my cycle, but would be nice to join the community and mutual support of this group as well.
