    so this is the bit that really infuriates me - AF still not here but cheapy test still says negative grrrr I just want to know one way or the other (Im so impatient at times lol!)

    Im off shopping after work so if its still not arrived I'll buy a more expensive test for the morning x
  • I'm now on day 5 of positive opks and still no ovulation. My husband actually groaned when I told him I hadn't ovulated yet!
  • Hi all

    Sorry to those of you with Af.

    Well I got a positive opk yesterday so going to put myself at cd19 0dpo but hubby and I have only bd'd once in the past week so holding out very little chance of it happening this month. Hubby also decided to go away for a few days yesterday for a friend's birthday so no further chances.

    Starting to feel very down about it all. Hubby has decided it is never going to happen for us and we should just accept it rather than get down each month but I'm not sure I'm ready to give up on my dream just yet :(

    Good luck BDing Jojo and cats!

    newcook I feel your pain... still no AF here. Good luck and fingers crossed for you.

    Temp still low this morning. I am thinking if I did in fact ov around CD20 as usual and not CD13 as the opk suggested then I could only be 9/10DPO though... so I could be waiting as long as Sunday.

    Most frustrating month ever...12 months TTC this month!

    Oh midget no no no don't give up! Sorry for not remembering but how long have you been trying? Had tests etc?

    I keep getting down and thinking it won't happen but my OH is super positive. He's also very open to IVF etc whereas I'm not sure I am. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

    Oh cats our day will come...I have to keep telling myself that anyhow...

    My OH is also super positive and relaxed about it all. "We've done it once we'll do it again". I keep telling him its easier for him as he doesn't have to take opks/bbts/hpts/check cm every day!!! But that's not fair really as he always does his bit when asked haha x

    Hi! Just catching up with all the posts. The flu virus I had really kicked my !!! and today is the first day I've felt human! The bad news is my period came very early (22 day cycle) and was horrific, so heavy and painful with lots of clotting so when the doc was out seeing me about the flu I asked him and he said it sounds like it may have been a v early miscarriage. He said if I wanted to know for sure I could do a test as it may still show as positive for a few days after but I decided against it. It could just have been the virus causing it so I'm going to go with that theory. Regardless...I am now on CD6

    Hoping I start to feel less tired by the time my fertile period kicks in!

    It sounds like everyone is having a rough month at the moment, fx for some good news in the next few weeks.
    I'm CD14 and I had a funny twinge in my left lower abdomen last night so I think maybe I ov'd. Ovia puts me in the fertile window from today so I'm quietly optimistic that at least something is happening. No EWCM though. It's all so confusing!

  • Hi Cats we are cycle 5 month 7.

    We have both already decided that IVF isn't for us. My sister in law had It and it seemed such a long process.

    We have discussed tests to see if possible or not as think if I'm told we can't I will be upset but can process in my head where as at the moment my hubby and I get down each month and it's taking the toll on our relationship especially at the moment :( just wish I knew why it works so quickly for others. How do they manage it lol.
