Hi and welcome to the newbies.

Thank goodness its the weekend- I need a few days off to recharge my batteries- I feel like I have no energy at the moment!!

I have very irregular cycles (100 if ays, 43 days, 170 days and 70 days) so I have previously not attempted to track ovulation and have just tried to have sex regularly- but this month I'm thinking sod it- I have 40 ov tests waiting to be used, I will use them and see if I actually do ovulate (I've just been diagnosed with pcos)!! Personally I would for the first few months go with what the Dr has advised- its very easy to get obsessed with ttc and I personally think that what your Dr has suggested will help you not get too obsessed from the start.

At least by using the sticks when I have my appointment in November with a fs that at least we really have tried!!

I think you are very right about becoming obsessed! My only problem is that for medical reasons I need to know as soon as I conceive (medication) and I thought knowing when I was ovulating would help with that...maybe If my pperiods don't sort themselves out I should just do a pregnancy test every couple of weeks to make sure?

Thanks for your reply and good luck!

So managed to wait a total of 24hrs before re-testing (!) and its still coming up with a faint positive Asked OH if he could see a second line and he was like, 'oh that line its paler than the other, that cant mean pregnant' - men, lol, I was just happy that he could see there was a second line! Going to try and wait another week and then do a clear blue digital one and then I will actually believe it.
Fingers crossed for you MrsSippi

Eek! Congratulations! :j

You can buy cheap pregnancy tests on sites like amazon- so you could buy a load of them and just test regularly using them. You could also use ovulation sticks or try temping if you wanted to, but these are only a guidance, and some people struggle with getting to grips with them (and having a routine that allows you to fit these things in!!)

Were your periods regular prior to you going on the pill?

Thanks for doing the lists kellykins

OH keeps telling me I'm definitely preggo and I keep telling him to shut up! So I'm what, 6DPO and my CM is still sticky (not Ewcm, sorry for tmi!) But that is the only thing I'm monitoring.

Read something strange on the Pink Pad forum - people are buying those soft cups that you use instead of tampons and they are putting them in to "keep the sperm in!"

Well i thought i was out because of the af cramps but got a faint positive this morning and just done a digital test and got pregnant 1-2 weeks. Really happy but nervous because of what happened last time.
