    Hi everyone, *just sticking my head around the door to see how you are all doing!*
    Fannyanna, Sorry you are feeling down today. Big hugs and sunshine to make you feel better.

    Two Trying to become three...
    As someone else has already said, you dont have to have had a full positive OPK to get your BFP. I was POAS queen for nearly 6 months tracking my cycle, and never once got a full positive, just darkening lines then nothing, but still got my BFP the first "real" month of trying.
    Its good you have a regular cycle, i was wondering though, at what point in your cycle do you think you are ovulating? You said that you wondered if there was enough for a bean to stick to with your light AF. That shouldnt be a problem, but if you are OVing later in your cycle that "the norm", your luteal phasing might not be giving a bean enough time to stick. That was my issue, which i addressed with Agnus Castus, to bring the OV forward and away from my AF. Might be worth investigating your Luteal phase, as even if you ARE OV'ing, if your timing of bD isnt quite right, you might be missing the high possibly hnce lack of positive OPK's).

    newyearnewstart - any news? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    scarly - well done for not testing yet, not too many days to go, how are you feeling?

    Yeah, newyearnewstart where are you?? I've been thinking about you all yesterday and I woke up thinking about you this morning! Test already!!

    So, um, I have a confession to make :whistle: I kinda tested this morning, BFN :( I knoooow it's way too early, but I thought since last month was only a 10 day LP that maybe I might see something by now, but no, absolutely diddly squat. And then to rub salt in the wound I've just started feeling cramps and am now having quite heavy spotting which is definitely redder than the spotting I got last month so I think AF will come early again, which means this month my LP may be even shorter than 10 days. :(

    However, PMA - it's a work colleagues 'mini-hen-do' this evening, which I've bought a fab new dress for :T and if AF does come early then I can enjoy a nice drinkie for my friend's leaving do next Friday and my other friend's birthday next week. :j

    Hello....

    As some of you will have seen on WTTC I am well and truly TTC now. I have been lurking here for a good few months before I was even TTC and following your stories!!

    Can someone please give me a big QQ style ticking off (the face with the finger I can't find it lol but always think of QQ doing it when I symptom search) and talk me out of testing at 7 DPO. (Yes SEVEN)

    It is my first month TTC and my concern is eating drinking etc, I am trying to be healthy anyway but really want to put my mind at rest.

    Anyone who read my WTTC will know the chances are so so slim nevermind it is first month TTC but with such a busy month etc we hardly BD at all nowhere near as much as I thought :rotfl: I will be fighting and ready next month!!!

    Hope you are all well :) I spend many a Saturday morning lurking on these boards! x

    Just got back from having a facial and am now totally paranoid as the therapist used essential oils even though I told her I was trying to conceive. Does anyone know if this would have any implications at 5DPO if I have managed to get pregnant this cycle? So much for doing something nice and relaxing!!! :0(

    Essential oils are generally ok at this stage. Its at the end of pregnancy that we need to be VERY aware! Or once we have a confirmed bfp. I wouldn't worry at this stage. The biggy we are all to avoid in pregnancy is Sage as this can promote labour to start. So once your over due you can sniff it every hour :rotfl:

    What oils did she use? If it was something like Lavender this is a gentle all round calming oil that is safe.
