  • Have been having trouble posting in the right colour.

    Hugs for those on cd1,cd2. Any news yet Freddie?

    Afm, af .showed up when I expected, it's about the only thing that is regular in my cycle and that's a does appear 14 days after I ov, it's just the ovulation part that's.really irregular!! I wasn't surprised at all that af showed this month as we hadn't bd at the right time. Here's to another cycle- although I am slightly reluctant this month because, if by any chance I was lucky enough to fall pregnant my dates would only be about 2 weeks ahead of this time last year when I did conceive - and I'm not.sure how I would cope with it being so close - one thing for sure is that there would be no.way I would have my scan Christmas eve again!!!

    Sexymouse, wouldn't it just!! Sending babydust your way! ;-)

    Can I be updated to CD18 please!.

    The cheapie OPKS from amazon are really throwing me! I may have to give back into the Digital fertility monitor! So, I haven't have the right Cervical Mucus, but there was what looked to be a pretty dark line yesterday on the ovulation stick...so we met the donor last night for our "deposit. I dont even know what else to call it now!!

    It was still just as dark today when I peed on it this morning, and I'm not convinced that I've ovulated yet. Thinking out loud here as I write, I think my cycles are messed up because of stress and grief to be honest.

    *Hugs to everyone who needs them, those who just got AF particularly* xx

    Oh no! Big hugs Freddie - maybe it was fertilised and just didn't take this time - I'm convinced that one of my cycles before my BFP was this way as I even had nausea. Hopefully you'll catch it this month.

    Hugs to all on CD1.

    2b - I only joined this thread fleetingly as I now have my BFP (was around ovulation on cycle 5 when I joined). I thought it would take ages as it took 11 cycles with J. Sending baby dust your way so you can catch me up! I'm just lurking as I wanted to see some more BFPs.

    Milliebob - when I was using my CBFM when trying to conceive J, it said I was consistently ovulating around CD10. This time I monitored my CM rather than using ovulation sticks and I'm sure that this was more effective for me. Also DTD a couple of days before and a few days after just in case ovulation varied.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hi all, cd 4 for me. On to cycle 8 :(

    If I'm honest, I'm feeling pretty depressed this month. We've been temping and BD at the right time now for 3 months and no luck. I just can't seem to get over it this month, feeling very sad and tearful even 4 days after AF showed up.
  • Sorry chickp, try not to let it get you down.

    I can understand completely though. It is upsetting, especially when you've been trying really hard to do 'all the right things'.

    Although we've only actually tried for 2 cycles/months. It feels a lot more since it's been 6/7 months including the terminated pregnancy.

    Both felt upset this month with AF. But started feeling positive again, just looking forward to starting trying again next week. I can understand that that bounce back would take longer the more times you've had to do it.

    You've done nothing wrong, it's just a rubbish turn of luck, but it will happen.

    All the best for this month, really hoping for a BFP for you and us!
