    Thanks Rachylou. Will update later as it's so much easier on the pc than on my phone. Sorry to hear AF got you. X

    No worries, I just figured you missed my post. It came 3 days early :mad:

  • I don't know what's going on with me. Ive been having ewcm for a week. I had a positive opk Saturday, but going by temps, cervix and cm and another positive opk today I still haven't ovulated!

    We're getting tired now, and I genuinely fear my husband has given himself another hernia!

    Sorry I've been MIA - not much to say for the first half of a cycle! I'm not tracking at all this cycle - other than checking cm. SO we will start BDing tomorrow every other day for a week, which will hopefully cover ov.

    Fingers crossed newcook

    Sorry for awful af Rachy

    Hugs Tinks

    MancMama how frustrating! Do you feel like AF is on her way? Temp drop is probably a sign... but you never know! You might have ovulated a few days later and still caught it!!

    Hi Millie nice to see you back - your plan for this month sounds great, no tracking and just BDing EOD... might have to try that one as this month is slowly sending me mental!

    I do keep thinking AF is coming but nothing yet!! I guess I could've ov'd later but then no idea where I am now if I'm not 16DPO... somewhere between 6-12 DPO I suppose?! If AF hasn't shown by weekend I'll test again. Be interesting to see how temp is tomorrow.

    Hope I know either way soon! x

  • Hello all. Sorry to hear those whose af has arrived. I am crossing my fingers for you mancmama, sounds like a really confusing time for you. I have tried a couple of calculators to work out when I ov'd and we either bd at the right time or miles out. So who knows whether we're in with a chance this month. I need to learn some patience!

    I hope no one minds me asking, but for those who have been trying for a while or have known issues (like my PCOS), have you sought any medical help yet? My GP said to me years ago that if I had no luck after 6 months to get intervention, my more recent GP said the best indicators were regular periods. I'm therefore feeling like I need to make obsessive efforts TTC in the first six months and am going to drive the fella mad soon! I was also getting bit concerned that I'm not going to be getting any younger while this all goes on.

    We're on our 11th cycle and I'm having blood tests this month and DH has been referred for sperm analysis (3 month waiting list!). It will be a relief to know either if everything's working or if somethings wrong we can hopefully sort it.

    Hi all, sorry for all of you having a rubbish month, hope you've had plenty of Easter eggs to scoff!

    I've had flashing smileys for 4 days now on the clear blue opk, still waiting to hit my peak though, it normally happens after a couple of days but hasn't yet, which is good in a way because my partner ant be at home until Thurs night anyway 😕

    I'm on 8th cycle but 11th month as mine were so long. I had initial bloods after 7 months but it was because of my long irregular periods indicating an issue - which turned out to be my thyroid. Doc won't do anything else now until I've been on meds 6 months, at which point we'll have been trying for 15 months.

    Jojo I'm in the same boat as you - 5 flashing smileys so far. I've had both 7 and 2 before though so not too worried.
