aw hugs for AF alice and keepergirl

16dpo - No AF for me, but no BFP either (tested again today). I am having a really weird cycle, no PM symptoms either, Im thinking maybe I just didnt ovulate this month feel like im getting old!

Def dont think im pregnant anymore as I def would have had a BFP by now (early IC tests) but just waiting for AF to come now so I can get on with the next cycle

AFM it's CD23 (day longer than last month!), 13DPO (I think), another BFN (must stop testing!) and keep getting AF-like pains...boo hiss!!
On the upside I had my LBM today, decided that whilst working at getting pregnant I should work at getting debt free, with any luck my debt free date and baby #2 might arrive at the same time

That's great news on having your LBM. Woo hoo! Honestly you will feel so good knowing you are on the path to debt freedom. I had my LBM in August and am now only £900 away from being debt free.

Sorry about the BFN. Step away from the tests!!!!

Quick question for those much more knowledgeable than me. I've been looking at the SMEP and planning this for next month. It says to start BDing every other day from CD8 and then start testing with OPK from CD10 and then BDing 3 days straight when you get a positive, miss and day and then one for luck. My question is, is this based on the average 28 day cycle? Reason being my cycles are around 25 days and FF has me down as fertile from CD8 with ovulation on CD10. Do you think I should bring the SMEP forward by 3 days? I have no idea what my LP is but if it's near the 14 day average I think that if we wait to start testing until CD10 it might be too late. Any opinions really appreciated.

Wegle I was looking into this myself last week and found that if you read the eBook (you can read it just online for free as a pdf) there's a bit about how to adjust it for your cycle length. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll have a search tomorrow.

Don't know what's going on with my cycle. As I said, I started using OPKs on day 6 and got complete negatives, no line. Then on CD9 I got a near positive, I'm still not sure it wasn't. Yesterday on CD10 I got a half strength line. And today CD11 back to no trace of a line at all, nothing there. But I don't think I've ovulated, my temps are all over the shop and I haven't had any fertile cm yet, I'm still having the slightly browny spotting a little. Argh!

Sorry to read all the BFNs and AFs arriving. Hugs to you all xx

Thanks mouthscradle. I didn't realise there was an e book. Just downloaded it and it says I should start from CD6 and OPKs from CD8.

Hi all

Feeling a tad down today - am on CD31 and 11DPO - tested this morning and BFN, I've been testing since the weekend and nothing has changed.

FF suggests I should test on Thurs which will be CD33 - I've never had a cycle that long ever so no idea why it's suggesting that. Everything has been a bit late since the MMC but not THAT late!

On the bright side, HB and I are off to Portugal for a short break on Saturday to get away from all the carp...it's been a tough few months and I think the MMC has just started to hit both of us.

Our friends announced a week after our MMC that they are expecting which is wonderful news but she sent HB her 20 week scan picture recently and HB admitted to me last night that he couldn't open it, bless him.

Have also just worked out that I'll have to work in central London on Friday which is my last day in the office for a week - not impressed.

Fingers crossed for a good week ahead and roll on the weekend.
