    Oh girls, I need a slap :(

    I am absolutely NOT symptom spotting but I have really horrid af style cramps. It is too late to be any sort of ovulation pain and way too early to be af. I am not symptom spotting because I am not thinking it could be anything to do with a potential pregnancy but I am worrying about it and agonising over what it could possibly be :(

    Aw Daisie, sorry to hear this. The two thoughts that sprung to mine are a bit contradictory but here goes! Firstly, I always find that worrying/stressing about any pain only makes it worse, it's a vicious cycle BUT that said, only you know your own body and if you are truly concerned, maybe give the NHS out of hours a call to see what they say? If it is unusual for you it's worth checking I think, trust your instinct. Hope you feel better soon x

    Thanks. I think it is probably nothing and if I wasn't TTC I would barely think about it. But if it doesn't go away or gets worse I might ask someone about it (sister is a doctor and often first port of call for questions!)

    Feeling really down today for some reason!

    Congratulation for the BFP!!

    Huge hugs to everyone that needs them.

    Well as for me, called doctors today to get day 21 results to be told marked ok, normal.

    So excited text OH he and I were over the moon started wondering if I could be pregnant. I needed doctor to call me with actual numbers from the test for fertility clinic. Last month progesterone was 4 and then 3 when measured again so fertility clinic confirmed no ovulation.

    Imagine my surprise when doctor rang on my way home to tell me my progesterone was 3.

    I just broke down, my OH spent the last 2 hours consoling me, fertility clinic said to have them repeated again next week. Seriously having a massive pity party here! I don't understand I've had what I would assume are ovulation pains and cervical mucus changes throughout (the same as last month)

    I would have been ok I think if the doctor who checked my results hadn't marked them as ok and normal. Last time they were marked as no ovulation!

    It's not anyone's fault but my own and made 1000 times worse by me stupidly symptom spotting.

    I'm hoping massively that I've ovulated but the day 21 test missed it because I ovulated before day 12 - 16 which is when it would pick it up apparently

    Hope you are all looking forward to a nice weekend xx

    Hi all,

    Am rubbish at posting but am now 6 months into ttc no2 . Took a year with number 1 but still frustrated! I think timing is our worst problem especially with oh working shifts . Have started doing opks this month for first time this month and we may gave got the right time this month but know that doesn't mean anything.

    Good luck it everyone.

    Hi shrimpy :-)

    Morning ladies,

    kellykins please can you take me off the list? I'm not pregnant but I don't really get the time to come on here as much so there's not really much point me being on the list I don't think.

    Wishing you all a lovely bfp soon, with lots of sticky dust and all that...

    Annabella xx

    Today I would have been 11days late but unfortunately AF (or the red monster as I call it) arrived with a vengeance. To say I was upset is an understatement but I'm going to mope on the couch with the dog today and start afresh tomorrow.

    Hugs to sweetpotato and val_84.

    As for me, I'm on cd14 and still waiting for ov. It's usually happened by now which is worrying me a little bit as I only have short cycles (23-27) days). We've been DTD a lot though so if I've somehow missed it, there might still be a chance!

    Wishing everyone a fab weekend xx

  • Hi all.
    Hugs for val and sweetpotato. x
    Thanks for the lists kellykins.
    AFM, I don't really know when I will OV this month. We DTD last night after a glass of wine to relax me. I was just a bit frightened (don't know why) after my miscarriage. Physically I'm fine and I'm keen to get trying again. I think we will just try the every other day method for this month.
    Love to all. X
