You can also get a progesterone test done at the GPs which will show whether or not you ovulated that month, and how strongly.

Just make sure the dr knows that not all women have 28 day cycles first

Sorry ladies, need some advice.
Has anyone ever tested after their period has arrived? I'm cd 11 and since my period finished I've been getting terrible AF pains, aching back, aching boobs, and feeling nausiated. It's not that I think I'm going to get a bfp but it's something to cross off the list if I test. Not sure really what to do. Hubby has offered to pick me up a test if I want, but don't really want to waste his money even if it is only 99p.

I'd had similar before and tested just to make sure that AF hadn't been implantation bleeding or something. So to me it's worth it to know for sure one way or another. Either way hope you feel better soon.

Sweaty some ladies do get Ov symptoms, there's lots of hormones around the time so makes sense that whilst were paying lots of attention to our bodies we'll spot these things

Mrs TM it's happened to us a couple of times recently as he's been too tired but felt obliged. Plus not to get too tmi but I find that the more you think about it and want it to happen and worry it won't happen, it won't happen, I'm sure it's the same for the menfolk lol

Big hugs to becca and anyone ladies who feel unloved from the recent bitter hagging (is that a phrase? It should be lol) I love you all really! x x

oh can I predict 8 this month please.

I think the only problem with this thread is literally those that have never posted before, or posted months and months and months ago and not again and then spring up to announce their BFP. Unfortunatly it does hurt if you've been on the forum for a long time. I don't have a problem with those that get pregnant really fast, it's just the way it is.

Where's my bit of cake??????

I had this on CD13-16 this cycle and my AF's are weird/ light/ spotting and (TMI) older looking blood.... BFN though and though I've been doing 2 OPK a day for last week not sure I've OV'd yet and Duo haven't pinpointed it yet (though I am in my 'fertile' green days...). Doesn't hurt to do a cheapy though (other than psychologically! )

yes I can remember that as well now you've reminded me.

It was a wierd one this month, was a couple of days later than expected and it was very short, and was dark older blood. And had no pains at all before or during. Have just had them since it finised so I know it's not OV pains.
Ahhh our bodies do like to have fun with us don't they?

Yeah I think if you were to do a test now and had bled so much I cant see it being a good result.

You do hear stories about women bleeding during pregnancy but I think its pretty rare.

Maybe order some cheapies off amazon to keep in the cupboard for occasions like that when youre going crazy but dont want to waste money.

Personally I don't feel it's bitter hagging Teamlowe.

For my tuppence worth I don't object to people only bobbing in once or twice a week- and I don't think you should feel you can't post/ less important if that's all you do! This is a support thread here to support when you need it.

I know if I get a BFP I'll share then lurk unless there's something I can really help with/ someone asks me a question. This board has been a real help to me since I've started reposting (relationship problems led to me leaving for a while) as I don't have anyone in real life to talk to about this and I genuinely believed I was going mental so I'd want to see how people were getting on as you've all helped me so much... So thank you all :T

Lets face it most of us stalk graduates because we want to make sure everything is going well for them- none of us begrudge someone their BFP and a happy pregnancy. Sure we might wish it was us but that's to be expected I think!

It's just that this is a TTC thread and should be kept as such or it alienates those of us still TTC (especially if it's taking it's toll/ has been a long journey etc.) Anyway, they're my thoughts- this was quite a bit longer than I thought it would be so mark my apologies! I just wasn't really in the right humour to say much before.
