Morning ladies.

This is my first month of TTC so I'm a novice at all this....

My last 3 cylces have been 27 25 27 and so roughly consistent. I'm not monitoring anything yet and so roughly calculated I ov'ed half way through, so around CD 13, we BDed on CD 9, CD 10 and CD 13. The test I did was a Superdrug one, and said it worked from 4 days prior to AF. Afterwards I read the instructions properly(!) and it said "4 days before AF and 15 DPO". I reckon now I haven't reached 15 DPO.

I know I'm probably just setting myself up for a fall, but I don't feel like AF is on her way - I'm not craving sugar, struggling to finish meals, feel so so tired, have constant sore throat and having dizzy spells. I guess it could be a coincidence and I'm just ill, but, well, I like to hope.....

CD27. I guess over the next 2 days I'll get AF. If I don't, then maybe another test - my AF is never late.

Early pregnancy tests still aren't 100% accurate. You're really best waiting till the day after you expected your period. This website: http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancytest/ has some stats of tests taken from women who were actually pregnant.

You can see at 11dpo a quarter of women still got a negative (http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancytest/chart_hpt_dpo.php?dpo=11).

As for being late, I thought I was never ever late too! I've had about 10 cycles off the pill (4 of them TTC) and they all ranged from 28 - 31 days. Apart from one that was 36 days...I was convinced I was pregnant. As it turned out I would have missed the fertile period by a week! Moral is to BD every other day or to be certain of your ov date.

CD28/12DPO for me. Expecting AF on Saturday.

Good sign!:j
But a mind is a powerful thing, it can delay AF when ttc:o

You need 10 sticks/cycle. But once you get peak, then it automatically gets another peak the following day, and low the next, so you can skip those 2 (so I hear).

Good luck ddebski_us & waterbaby:j
You need decent length of luteal phase to get the baby going I think.

Thanks Q, I'll see how I get on with the 8 and then see about getting some more.
ooh I can't wait for it to arrive now. I've never wanted AF to arrive so much either.
My thermometer arrived yesterday too so I feel like I'm taking charge of the ttc malarkey once again...:D

Just on for a minute to let you know I told DH last night and he's thrilled ...if a little shell shocked. I guess it will take a few days for it all to sink in.

Good luck to all those testing soon
Hugs to those who got AF
Have fun all the new CBFM recruits!

How did you tell him?

If AF arrives, then count this as CD1. What do you mean by withdrawal bleed?
Is it like pre-AF spotting?
