Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

Hey all thanks for welcome
Well my Af is finished and the ov sticks arrived. Just wondering when is the best time to start using them? I've not been regular for about a year so no real way of knowing when I should be ovulating.. ..

Midget sorry I have no idea, I don't use opks myself yet!!! But I'm sure there's someone on here should eb able to shed some light on it for you.

Not much to update, CD32 AF almost a week late, very light spotting last few days now stopped. A few PMS symptoms on & off for about the past week, though a lot less than I would normally get. Latest in a long line of BFNs today, feeling pretty fed up to be honest, emotions up & down like a rollercoaster, lost count of the amount of tears over the last few days. Pity party for one here

Hi everyone, I'm delurking as I had my coil removed yesterday!

Exciting/scary times!

Hello everyone - I've now got the glow app on my phone and I'm just lightly tracking. No BD for me because my OH works away and I've not seen him in ages! But he's back over Christmas and I think I should be ovulating then, so this could be a good time to try.

Next time I see him (before Christmas), I won't be ovulating. So do you think it's fine to do away with contraception? There's a tiny chance of conception anyway but part of me still thinks we should be careful, no idea why?!

Hopefully I'll post more in the new year, when we actually start BDing!

CD5 for me. Trying since April, starting to get me down now.

If I am I'll be over the moon for financial reasons, I have a big bonus due in April and if I fell this month that payment would be included in the average pay workings for my 6 weeks at 90% for smp. Let's just say it's enough for me to be off for six months without worry or having to save.

If I'm not, then I have five parties to attend and I'll be asking for some serious christmas wine from Santa.

I'll be honest and say I think it's quiet because there was a real spate of bfps for ladies who hadn't posted on the thread for long (even if they were ttcing before joining) and I know I found it hard reading a few times but obviously wish those ladies all the best.

This our 7th cycle since we started ttc but I make myself feel better by calling it cycle five due to issues. We literally have done everything this cycle, bd six times in 8 days, soft cups, conceive plus etc.

Hey all. CD44 now and no AF, longest cycle so far and 2 days longer than last month. But BFN x 2 now and no symptoms anyway.

Given that I don't feel i got a 100% positive OPK I'm wondering if I didn't ovulate? Would be weird as i have every other month but although my OPKs got 95% dark I would say they were never quite darker than the control line. Anyone ever had this?

If I didn't though, god knows what will happen now either why we're on cycle 6 now. Also trying since April so struggling to be positive x

Trying since March for us. I must admit I found all those recent bfps hard to take, even though I hate to be such a misery and am pleased for them really

CD1 for me today.

Unfortunately we lost my wonderful father in law this week and have decided to have a break over December and start again in Jan. As this was completely unexpected there has been lots of talk of not wasting time and doing what makes you happy because you don't know how long you have with your loved ones. This is particularly meaningful to me who has spent almost a whole year feeling disappointed and, lately, completely miserable.

We had just started tests at the doctors and she recommended a more relaxed approach of BD 3 times a week to reduce stress and disappointment. We will start this in January.

I'll continue to lurk and wish you all luck.

So sorry to hear about your father-in-law chickp, seeding hugs your way xx

cats2012

Sorry to hear that chickp, sending hugs.

I'm on CD49...7days later than last month and neither AF or BFP in sight!

Praying for a Christmas miracle.

jtr2803

Sorry to hear your sad news chick p. I hope 2016 brings you a lovely surprise, hugs.

How frustrating cats, are you taking vitex to try and help at all?

8dpo, apart from what I lovingly refer to as fanny daggers I have nothing to report. I have found myself having some really bitter 'woe me' thoughts lately, despite going into this cycle feeling upbeat and hopeful. I will know one way or another by Friday. I think I'll then have one more cycle this year and then we will be in 2016! I'm so peeved at the constant rubbish life seems to be chucking at us lately.... Because obviously, who needs money to be saved for possible fertility treatment when you can just replace the entire roof on the house you've had all of eight months.....
