Hope CD1 doesn't show for either of you for good reasons (not to do your head in like mine did...:) )

I feel the same as you Claire I think the only part of my cycle that I actively don't loathe is the week before Ov and the week after. I'm awful when AF is here. I hate waiting weeks to OV and can only handle that wait when I'm in my 'fertile' 7 days. I can manage the week after ov as I'm all optimistic that I might have caught the egg. Then I hate waiting for AF as my natural pessimism returns and I realise I won;t be pregnant... Pffff.

Exactly! There is really only around one week per cycle I feel optimistic!

Plus you can't ever really stop thinking about ttc because you have to take folic acid everyday, so even if you don't temp & shut your eyes so you saw no cm, bd when ever you want, you'd also have AF to consider and possibly ov pains so you really can't stop!

I know exactly what you mean!! I always thought how easy it would be to get 'caught' when taking no precautions and now.... well :mad:
In a way i'm quite looking forward to my next AF, at least that way i can start tracking everything properly again.

Apologies if this has been addressed before but do you all recommend temperature tracking?? It's not something i've ever done but a fertility tracker on my phone has a chart to record on. Is it reliable?

Lots of us use fertility friend. If you click our names on the first page or the lists becca posts it leads to our charts.

It's very reliable for me.

haha code cos of your comment about the rugby then your team losing I've just checked my team's score and they won so um, sorry if they was playing yours! lol

been to trafford centre with dh which was nice to spend some time together but i swear i saw 4 bumps in the 2 minutes i was queuing in debenhams. that's a high bump rate! debenhams must be extra fertile, must shop there more lol

and i don't know what on earth possessed me but i tried on a pair of jeans in Dotty Ps that were a size 16- i ruined the 18 pair when i was painting so thought i'd try considering i'd lost inches and the 16 just has absolutely no room for my hips which are ironically nice and wide for childbirth.
did i mention that cos of this stooopid pcos all the weight goes to my lower abdomen? waist is getting smaller but still have to buy bigger pants cos of my gunt

and along the crazy front i also tried on a pair of jeggings! that was a mistake, i looked !!!!!!! ridiculous.

meant to be studying but i really cannot be botheerrrrrred. i love my job but even my geekiness can't withstand reading lots and lots of legislation zzzzz

really really broody after this morning spent cuddling and playing with my niece. i want lazy baby days every day


i used to love my long cycles before i was ttc, didn't have to bother about af that much but now i really really hate them lol

Hello Ladies,

I hope you are all having a good weekend.

Hi to all the newbies:wave:

I have been lurking and listening to everyone but am on to have a bit of a pity party. I have been feeling really low this week. One of my dogs had to be put to sleep this week, which was an awful awful day, and then that evening my MUCH younger brother phoned to cheer me up by telling me that his girlfriend (not been together very long) is pregnant.....apparently they weren't even 'trying'. I feel really awful, when he told me I just burst into tears and now he thinks I am not happy for them:(. To top it all off I have upped my dose of metformin to the recommended 3 pills a day and am feel like poo!

Sorry for being such a downer.

My team won in the end so maybe it's the same one!!

As for the jeans, I love DP jeans because they're one of the few places I can get jeans long enough but their sizes are really inconsistent. I bought a pair of skinny jeans and superskinny jeans from there in the same size. The skinny jeans got stuck on my calves (my calves are normal sized) and the superskinny fit perfectly. So another style of jeans might fit you differently.

Things are a bit better. Managed to catch the rugby on council tv and then DH got in touch with the guy who told him how to fix the problem with the tv and the broadband has stayed connected long enough for me to do everything I needed to.

^^ this! Even when I try to go back to ntnp it doesn't work because I can't suddenly unknow the ov signs. I see ewcm and know what it means. Thats partly why it's so stupid for people to tell us to relax and stop trying! Even when I try to stop trying, I fail.

Exactly! That's just impossible.

Plus relaxing does not get you pregnant.

If I didn't know when I was ovulating we would never bd that much at the right time. Obsessing over it & knowing we at least tried is much better for me!

Hugs firefly sorry to hear your feeling down x. Hugs also for those the witch caught too.

Doing my first day of slimming world today cos I can't keep ignoring the fact my cloths are all a bit too tight (blaming the tumble drier only works for so long ) feeling positive to be actually doing something to help myself and interested to see how long my lp is now I'm on the full dose of ac.

if 'just relax and it'll happen' was the acknowledged way then explain fertility treatment! lol

code it's the superskinny i like, the size 16 got completely stuck on my calves! but i do have massive calves from lugging these buzongas around

sorry to hear about your dog firefly and generally down feelings, it's not nice to have the 'easy' pregnancy announcements, not that i want everyone to struggle of course, just wish no one had to
when my sister told me she was pregnant she bought me a massive piece of cake to cushion the blow. maybe go get some cake? lol

sorry the metformin is treating you bad. it'll get better, or at least you'll get used to its effects! i don't mind the bottom end but i'm glad it doesn't make me feel naseous when hungry any more, that used to get my hopes up lol x
