    I had a big temp drop this morning and another internet cheapie was negative this morning, so I'm just waiting for AF now. I predict she will arrive on Sunday.

    Anybody had reflexology and recommend it? I fancy it and it's supposed to be good for fertility.

    Freddie I'm thinking of you and your 12 week scan x

    Thanks Freddie, best of luck for the scan x

    We felt exactly the same. Constant fear of 'what if the baby we had to terminate was the only one we were going to get'.

    It happened again though, eventually and I'm sure it will for you two. (12 week scan in less than a week - scared but cautiously optimistic - it was always going to be scary)

    Hope everyone feels better soon, whether it's the lurgy or just feeling rubbish about things and best of luck with the scan Freddie!

    Can I be moved into the 2ww, got my third high temp today and FF is saying I'm now 3DPO. Not holding out much hope for this month as it's been so stressful and we weren't doing as much BDing as we could have...but you never know!

    Rachylou I didn't get an ovulation date on FF this month due to erratic temps. So I went into Settings then Detector/Over idea Settings and changed the method from Advanced to Research and it gave me one. It might be worth a try.

    Good luck with the scan Freddie.

    Hope you feel better soon Sexymouse, as you say at least it's after your fertile period.

    Milliebob I haven't heard much about reflexology other than it can induce labour. It can't hurt though. Acupuncture is the one people talk about.

    Hi everyone! I am still struggling on with this damn cold too! This has been 2 weeks now :(

    I hope everyone feels better soon!

    Alex, I hope booking the holiday and having a more relaxed approach works for you! My OH and I discussed a similar thing but not for going away until September time. We are trying to have little breaks away to have things to look forward to.

    Millie, I still have my fingers crossed for a BFP for you!

    Freddie, hoping everything goes well at your scan x

    So I'm now CD52 and was at the doctors this morning for something unrelated to TTC. But I asked for her advise on long cycles, missed period and how I think i'm not ovulating after coming off my pill 6 months ago. She said she'd like me to have the blood tests to check for ovulation, but with having no period and not really knowing where i am with my cycle it would be hard to get results just now. She advised to take another pregnancy next in another week as there could still be a chance for a BFP (i'm doubtful as I don't have any symptoms). She said to wait another week after that and if I've still no AF to go back and she'll organise bloods. She said AF could still come or it could skip onto a new cycle- everybody is different.

    Until then, she has told me I need to stop stressing, try to forget about it and most importantly, have lots of sex! :j It has eased my mind a bit more

    .

    Ooooh thanks for this, might give it a try. I am currently discarding the temps that delete the ov pattern but I know that's a bit naughty and defeats the object of it trying to help me establish ov. I will take more care with the temps and doing it right next month (hopefully I don't need to)

    Millie I've thought about reflexology too, I know most people suggest acupunture but I've a fear of needles, so the thought of it fills me with dread.

    So this morning ff called ov day as Tues (day later than I had thought). Put some more data in at lunchtime (seem to be coming down with this cold everyone has :() & it then said that it couldn't detect ov. So I've just changed the settings^^ & now it's calling ov on Mon :huh:

    angel I'm not keen on needles either but I've been ok with acupuncture as they are as thin as human hair so can hardly feel a thing x

    Ditto this. Just come from a session. Have had to have so many blood tests and they are far worse!! Acupuncture you can just close your eyes and ignore :-)

    I had reflexology the month I conceived Poppy. Could just be a coincidence though.

    Off to do today's list then have an early night. Hugs to all with AF or BFNs or long cycles that are making them worry. xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
