    morning ladies.. wow this thread is amazing! have just about read the messages. :j

    thanks for the lovely and warm welcome! i feel so much positive being on here, just after making that start to join. And hey to the familiar people i have met on the other thread. i still have my down moments but am trying hard. Now the other part is to try and get DH on my side to try as without him i cant do anything. he has just been so tired and stuff, it gets on my nerves. lol.:p he started a new job today so will let him be for a few days and then start bugging him.

    men!!! anyway have brought my swim suit today so am about to head back to the gym sl-ow-ly. :rotfl:

    are you ladies taking supplements, vitamins? maybe i should start taking the pre-conceive tabs?
    thanks so much again.

    Welshgirl, so sorry.

    Nicki, still keeping my fingers cross for you.

    Not sure what happened last night but we were awake between 3 and 5 as well. OH woke me up saying that he couldn't sleep and than we both struggled, I got really cross with him :(.

    I think I ovulated yest,had really sharp pain on the way home, also the ic ovulation test was very faint this morning while yest it was much darker. CBFM obv gave me the second peak for today. We managed to BD last night, don't think we will today, I'm far too tired.

    Welcome Rups, sorry, forgot to say.

    Yes, I'm taking pregnacare, started with folic acid but after my miscarriage in Oct I changed to Pregnacare (the normal one, not the concieve one). I also take fish oil and vitamin B complex. Hope that helps.

    Thanks kavics. I will go and get some and start. i am taking some iron tabs and vit c as i feel tired still so am hoping that helps. maybe if i just switch to pre-conceive that might have everything in there? then if i am lucky (considering i get lucky with DH :p) i will start the normal ones. so much to consider but i really want to make sure everything is ok so i cant say i didnt look after myself.:(

    ps. i finished the first AF last week after the MC, but i never know when exactly i am ovulating and leave it to assumption. would you recommend those kits then from boots etc?

    Sara, log your drinking on the day you do it. This will give you an open circle the following day (which will be the day your temp rises) which shows that the data might not be accurate.

    Hi all,

    Is it bad on me to mention that OH came home last night in a great mood, was lovely and affectionate, and after a well timed fun BD I slept very well! No.. I shouldn't mention it...

    Welshgirl, sorry to see you back here. There have been a few retunees which is very sad.

    Rups - welcome! I remember you well from the wedding board.

    Sa-ra-ra - I also wasn't impressed with OPK's until someone here gently advised me to follow the instructions! I always drink a lot of water at work, but to test you need to be a little less hydrated. So I cut down drinking for 3-4 hours before a test, and they started to work. I am sure you are doing it right, but it made a difference to me.

    Speaking of OPK's, I got a weak line on Tuesday and then ran out of them. But last night had a sudden surge in EWCM (which I don't normally get) as well as some pretty sharp pains suddenly, so hopefully that was ov. It's pretty early, but I think the last 2 months my cycle has been in the mid 20's so that could be right.

    If that sounds like ov - can you please switch me to 1dpo QQ.

    Happy Thursday to everyone.

    Thanks Nicki - at this rate every temperature is going to be an open circle as FF is convinced that I'm taking all my temperatures at wildly varying times whereas in actual fact it's within the same hour - just not the hour FF thinks I should be taking them!

    I'm following that instruction - I don't drink very much in the afternoon at work, or go to the loo, then when I have my home-from-work-pee at about 6.15 I use the OPK. But mine do also say that you should leave it in a pot for 20 minutes to bring it down to room temperature before testing. Does anyone actually do that?!

    Hi all,

    I did post on this page long time ago but being inactive after that because we were trying so hard and not getting anywhere.

    Anyhow, I am a bit excited today because my AF is not due until 10th of this month and I had some AF like cramps on tuesday (06 of March) and yesterday night i had some blood spots very light not at all like my AF browinsh colour and just a few drops. if it was AF it might have being full blown by today.

    I did a pregnancy test but came out negative I am wondering could this be implantation bleeding.

    Can some one help ??
