So...I'm almost certainly CD1, but here's a riddle for ya. I woke up with the most horrific cramps, saw red blood at about 11am, still cramping now but it's much more manageable BUT hardly any flow, mostly brown? I'm not going to say it's all brown, as there's definitely red but I never spot before AF, she usually just hits me full force and always in the evening. Weird huh!

Wish she'd have just come so I could stop kidding myself. The cramps were so bad that either it's AF or a CP, and I'm obviously hoping for the former. Just put a softcup in to keep tabs on it. No other pg symptoms, I just can't shake the feeling that it's very weird for af

Ooh that's a weird one! I used to have AFs like that, might kick in tomorrow?

Fingers crossed Bobley!

Still got that weird pinching pain on my left hand lady area, just under my hips.

Went to visit my grandparents earlier and came back with 23 pairs of knitting needles and a jar of sweets :rotfl:

Also found a cute article on Buzzfeed which listed loads of DIYs for children and it had so many cute baby things you can make from your old clothes! Broody much!

Bfn

Still no Af, I am now late and still no signs, it's like Af has just disappeared, I don't know what to do!

Claire and Bobley - don't give up hope until AF arrives


I'm frustrated this morning as I have lost all my data on my apps for tracking symptoms and af My most recently downloaded I'm not bothered about but I've been tracking my other for months and months and now it is all lost! Doesn't help being so irregular, there's no chance I will remember what was going on now!

You can join some of us on the waiting step if you like as still no AF here and i was expecting AF on the 6th. Ps you may want to bring a cushion and a pack of biccies. Test on the 15th was still a BFN.

Still BD here because you never know when these cycles are so pants.

Hello everyone :hello:
Thought it was about time I join you, recognise a few names from the waiting Board. I've been lurking for a month or so and have finally found time to post.

This is cycle 2 TTC #1. I came of cerezette in July and had 3 seemingly normally cycles (28-29). We started TTC in September on holiday and then when we got back my period was late. It finally came on day 35 after 5+ bfn. I am already a POAS addict already.
So bobley and wizzypop I understand how frustrated you are. I was actually relieved to get AF when it finally came as it meant we could start again.

Now on CD9 so going to start OPKs tomorrow.

For anyone who hasn't I would recommend reading the sperm meets egg plan, I got it free on iTunes. We will be following this during this cycle so BD every other day until positive OPK then Bd for three day straight, one day off and then one last shot! Hopefully won't get too knackered. If you don't get a positive OPK then you just carry on every other day.

May try the conceive plus fertility gel for the three days in the middle - has anyone else tried this? I got a free sample from a drug rep at a conference in jan so it's worth a go!

Good luck everyone!

ThinkPink

Huge congratulations Jazz.

Well I'm cd29 and wondering how long this cycle will be!! I have my appointment with the hospital on the 4th November so will probably still be in this cycle. I also have a UTI so had to go to the treatment centre this morning. I did do a test before I left and not surprisngly it came back bfn. Will be glad once I've seen the fs and have more of an idea what going on with my rubbish cycles and what they can do to help them!!

Wizzypop and Bobley- hugs, long cycles are such a pain. Have you been off contraception long? If you haven't hopefully its just your body adjusting.

Hi all! CD 17 for me here so having a go but tbh I doubt it will happen in the first month!

pm04, thanks for giving the name of that podcast, I think me and OH need a bit of an education!!

We're suppose to be getting married next September but we didn't want to wait any longer to start.. I know that sounds mad but we just decided, !!!! it.. I'm normally the type of girl to have followed all the rules so deviating from the rule book is a big challenge for me!

If you're interested in the evidence behind TTC/pregnancy and why certain things are/aren't recommended the I would suggest 'expecting better' by Emily oster. She's an economist who has looked an all the evidence so you don't have to!
