    Morning everyone.

    Congratulations to those with BFP :j and also hugs to those that need them.

    Think my AF is due between Thursday and Saturday (as slightly variable from month to month...)

    Still SS (someone needs to slap me! :o ) but my chest is so sore its making it hard to sleep and yesterday I felt bit hot and dizzy at work, but I'm also grumpy and eating to much choc which signals pmt, despite the SS I'm fully expecting AF to turn up this month.

    I've tempted fate, by booking tickets to a rock concert in June, in the standing section - which I'm sure wouldn't be the best of ideas if pregnant!

    Hope everyone has a good day, baby dust to everyone.

    Hi all,

    I have been lurking for a while after the disappointment of last month, but thought I would quickly check in. I bought a digital ovulation kit today, and gave it a quick test today - and got a smiley face!

    Does that mean ovulation tonight or tomorrow? I will test again over the next few days to make sure it goes away. Minimal other symptoms, but if I can convince the OH's we'll BD tonight, and start the 2ww again. I'm not actually sure if I can face the rollercoaster again... last month was tough. Short cycles are good in that we get to 'go' again quickly, but at the same time I am not really sure if I am ready for it. It's starting to feel like my whole life is revolving around ttc.

    Congrats to the BFP's, and hugs to those who are struggling with memories of lost kids. We will all get there in the end!

    Congratulations on your smiley! You could ovulate anytime between this evening and Thursday but most likely to be tonight or tomorrow. The SMEP rule is to BD the night you get the positive, the next two nights, have a night off, and one last BD for luck. That should ensure there are enough live guys in place when the egg releases.

    Not sure why you want to test again now you have the smiley though? Knowing when the test has turned negative again gives you no extra information of any kind. It isn't linked to when you will ovulate and doesn't confirm that you have. Its up to you whether to do it, but the digital tests are quite expensive and it will just be a waste of one, so in your shoes, I wouldn't bother.

    Thanks I've got an image of the Jim'll Fix It rollercoaster one, but instead of scouts or whatever they are, it's all the TTC ladies eating cheese and pate and drinking champagne.

    Thank you for giving me such a good laugh this morning!:rotfl: That is such a funny image... and one I will be looking forward to when AF eventually arrives lol.

    Hugs to everyone struggling with the memory of a loss atm x.

    (am not doing a very good job of staying away from here lately)

    CD1 today. And started a diet yesterday as I knew she was coming thanks to BFN and have put on too much weight recently, do cant even resort to wine or chocs to compensate. May have to try the gym instead.

    ((Hugs)) Nicki..I don't crave chocolate loads but have a stash of maltesers when i need a chocolately fix or if im feeling a bit down..

    Still waiting for AF, starting to feel tired and fuzzy like I normally do before AF, not looking forward to clinical BD next month, only did it properly last month, but it felt so forced...hope we don't have to do this for many more months..I love BDing outside of TTC times :(
