Cd32, bfn yesterday but my cycle seems to be getting longer. Had to see a doctor yesterday who made the lovely comment that we should stop temping and loss, and just DTD 2-3 times a week. I wish. I am getting rediculous though, thinking its my tests which aren't working and whether to try with an opk, as I've heard they show up a pregnancy as well. Desperate much ?

It's perfectly natural to feel that way, you just need to see that positive, I'm sure your tests are working. But its possible that they can't detect yet, may take a few more days if the hormone levels are low. It's a pain when people (quacks) state the bleedin' obvious without actually understanding the situation.

Hope things improve And your cycles settle down

CD19 and about 2dpo. I ran out of OPKs before getting a positive, and I think we gave up BDing too soon. Last month I ov'd on CD15 but I don't think I did until CD17 this month. We did it on 15 & 16 so you never know.

If you did BD 1-2 days before OV then that should be perfect. It's recommended that that's the most likely time to successfully conceive. fingers crossed for you

Soooo I'm officially confused. Was CD27 yesterday, last 3 cycles have been 33, 33, 36, and had a few strong-ish OPKs around the weekend so thought I must have ov'd and just not fully picked it up. HOWEVER I then got a very much +ve OPK yesterday evening - i even got OH to check I wasn't being stupid.

So of course we BD-d, and had done CD 24 & 25 too, but I'm now so confused! Either this is an even longer cycle than the last one, or I have a very short LP. Fingers crossed it's the first...

Lemon Tree (and others) - just fyi, a friend made the point of reminding me last week that her pregnancy didn't get a +ve test until 2 weeks after AF was due. so don't give up just yet!

Cats its so confusing isn't it?! I sometimes think that none of the opks, tests, temps, cm etc actually mean anything and its just plain luck, as every single person I speak to has a different story!

Fingers crossed for you this month x

I'm feeling very nauseous this morning, still too early to SS though I think its just a bug or something there's a few germy people in my office this week. OH isn't helping as every time I say anything at all symptom related he says "ooooh are you preggo?".... agh!!!

Hi all,
Just wanted to reintroduce myself, not posted much lately but have been reading regularly. Started trying again last month, on cycle day 9 now. Luckily for us we don't seem to have a problem getting pregnant but holding on to the bean is our problem. I had a late miscarriage at 16 weeks last year and am on my fifth early miscarriage now. We are very fortunate to have a gorgeous little 3 year old girl but would dearly love to give her a sibling.

Anyway hi to everyone and good luck xx

Morning everyone! CD16 4dpo here. Nothing much to report. On a day off work and trying to keep myself busy and stop obsessing!!!

Millie , I'm in agreement with Ian, sounds like you DTD at the perfect time. fingers crossd for you.

Mancmama my OH is the same and keeps asking when I can test! I guess it shows that they are as excited/anxious as us though.

My Ovia app says I can do a pg test in 9 days, but think thats based on my last cycle only being 25 days long, and my cycle lengths vary each month with the longest being 28 days so think I will TRY to wait till CD28 to test, if AF hasn't arrived by then.

CD24 9DPO... Glow told me to take a test today, BFN... cheers Glow!! It's prob still too early and I wish I'd left it but looks like I am out as AF is due on Monday. Temps still rising daily and I still feel v.nauseous today, definitely think I'm coming down with something, I also pulled something in my neck last night, great!!

Happy Friday All haha x

So reporting as CD29 1DPO now. Really scared that AF will still come next week and that has such scary implications

Had a big cry last night..

Mancmama - I think my nausea was just a bug too, had a blinding headache with it on Weds, but have felt ok since, have had tender boobs though. Just cranky as hell, which I guess is PMT so I'm fully expecting AF to arrive on Monday.
