I'm keeping everything crossed that this turns out positive for you so you won't need to get onto that 4th cycle :)But I know what you mean about symptom spotting, it's so difficult not to!

Estateprincess - ughhhh symptom spotting is soooooo hard to avoid! I've been doing it all day and I know I shouldn't. FX for you that you get that elusive BFP!

Thank you both, although I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up as, like I said before, I've no idea if/when I have even Ov'd as I haven't been temping just guessing from cm.:o

I'm on CD 55 now and despite funny feelings that keep making me go and check every hour, still no signs of AF at all. I'm trying really hard not to symptom spot but in the last 2/3 weeks I've felt incredibly tired & more irritable than normal (ask my poor OH). I’ve had ‘funny’ feelings that are different from my normal AF warning cramps and now I’ve had backache for no real reason and spots (!) since Fri/Sat, also I’ve got sore boobs but I’ve had this in my last two cycles for the 2 weeks prior to AF showing up.

I’ve now decided that if AF isn’t here by Thursday I’ll think about doing a test. My theory behind this is that my first cycle was 43 days and the second was 50 days so Thursday will be 57 days and following the same pattern! I’m still expecting AF at any time though; I’m convinced it will be a BFN so I’m too nervous to test.:(

Morning everyone. Today is a washing and sterilising day, as will be the next 8 days... My mom caught scabies from a toilet seat at the homeless shelter where she was volunteering at, so we finally figured out what it was, got her to the doctor, got some cream for it, and now I have to undergo treatment as does DH and we have to nearly boil wash all of our clothes and bedding for 8 days straight! Ugh! Oh well, as long as it kills the mites and gets rid of them, I don't care what it takes.

That sounds like a lot of work Mrs_T_M but, as you said, it is worth it!
Thank you for doing the lists, can I guess 5 BFPs for June please? Thank you x


Edited to say Huge Congratulations to Paige!!:T:T

Hi All, been awol for a bit so hope everyone is getting on ok
After couple of months of avoiding TTC (stuff getting in the way!), me and the Mr are trying once more, I have no idea where I am in my cycle as havent been keeping count, but i'm sure AF will be along shortly xx

Massive congrats Paige!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!

We'll I had a great time at the festival. I completely let my hair down and it was great. On the TTC front. I'm 13 DPO!!!!! I've never made it this far before so I'm super happy. I'm pretty sure I'm not preggo as have been having some spotting today but in previous months spotting has always started on 9DPO so the B6 and AC are obviously doing something. Mt temp was still high this morning so I'm expecting AF probably tomorrow. I've also noticed that I've had sore boobies this month which I've never had before so I'm convinced these tablets are definitely working to increase my progesterone.

Can I please guess 5 BFPs for June

Mrs_T_M

Completely exhausted after today, but the laundry is caught up, now all we will need to wash is what we wear daily and the sheets, blankets, and pillowcases. To top things off, my laptop has a burned out ram chip and won't properly turn on! Luckily we had a tablet given to us last week, so I can still do the lists.

The medicine for treating these things seems to be making me sick as well, so even though we dtd last night, we still may be out this month.

Well temp took a massive nose dive this morning so I'm expecting AF any moment now. No sign as of yet, whilst it sucks not to be pregnant I'm so pleased that my LP has been a bit longer. I didn't start spotting until 12DPO this cycle whereas before it was always 9DPO. Anyhoo, onwards and upwards to cycle #4

sulphate

Hugs wegle. I take pregnacare which has B6 in (I think?) and my boobs were sore around ovulation too which I have never noticed before.

Remind me never to comment on a FB post about pregnancy. I feel totally patronized now.

I know this will sound stupid as we are all TTC but does anyone ever feel, at work, that they are expected to pick up the slack for anyone with children? Basically I have to do extra work and travel more because my boss, and her boss, in turn, have children. I'm starting to resent it a little to be honest.

wegle

Thanks sulphate. I really think the B6 has made a difference this month, it's in my prenatal vitamin but the extra I'm taking has definitely made a change. What happened on FB? I avoid it like crazy at the moment as so many people that either got married after me, or already have loads of kids are getting pregnant. I know it's selfish but it just seems unfair that they've got what I want!!

Luckily nowadays I work with mostly younger men so I don't really have the problem of having to cover for people with kids but when I was in the pub trade I always took on the unsocial shifts, Xmas etc, it didn't really bother me then but it would now, I think having to do stuff for people because they have something you want must be tough. Try not to worry though, FX really soon you will have your own little bundle!

Also, x_missymoo_x, since we don't exactly know which DPO you are, I moved you down a bit and put a '?' down for you. Hope that's ok.

Absolutely fine with me TBH, it might be better actually taking me off the lists for now until I know what's going on? Hope you are all sterilised now

Estateprincess - it sucks having stupidly long cycles, doesn't it I feel your frustration! I'm currently on CD48 however I don't really get signs that AF is coming at any time so I'm clueless. Tested recently and still BFN so I don't know what's going on. I know what you mean about feeling nervous to test - I wouldn't say I'm nervous, but it's always a disappointment when you get that BFN after feeling a little bit of hope when you think you are late. Fingers crossed for you, it's not over until the fat lady sings!!

xacesx - hope all goes well as you start ttc again and you're not waiting as long as Estateprincess and I are for AF to arrive, and wegle - I'm always pleased to hear when AC seems to work its magic as I'm hoping to start it on my next cycle.

sulphate - I agree! Where I work it seems those who have children have first pick of the rotas and then the rest of us have to fit around them. As much as I moan about it know though, I am sure I would be grateful of the priority to fit around my own little one when the time eventually comes! Sods law though they'll probably have changed policy by the time it happens for me and there'll be no priority or first pickings

Phew, think that's me caught up with everyone now!? Hope you are all well xx

Well knicker watch has ended (that's like a carper, slightly more surreal version of springwatch) and I am now CD 1. I was really down about it last night and seeing hubby so excited over the last couple of days was hard. I haven't told him we're out yet as he is on night shift so is at home in bed and I'm at work. Trying to stay positive and focus on the things that we can control and try to let go of the stuff we can't.
