Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

Afternoon/evening peeps.

Black Ribboner - I'm sorry to hear that. As said to PinkShoes, it's worth reporting this to the doctor to get checked out and so it's on record just in case; although I hope that is never happens for you again. I can only imagine how gutting it must be to test and then this to happen, look after yourself. I'm on Ovia, and use the fertility friend app too. Both seem fairly comprehensive, but I kinda prefer Ovia even though I get stupid questions in my emails every day.

I'm on CD30 now, I normally have a 32 day cycle. I don't know for sure, but I think I ovulated about 10 days ago. Stupidly,I'm tested Tuesday morning, BFN; which was silly really. I think it was mostly inspired by the early BFP's and that I had a dream that I got a positive pregnancy test, although it was the size of an iPad! Bizarrely. Anyway, put me off at work and i didn't have the greatest day as a result. So, I'm determined not to test till im late. I bought the Superdrug tests this time.

Anyway, I don't feel pg, so I'm not holding out much hope. If anything, I got the lightest bit of spotting this morning so I suspect a weekend AF. Also feel a touch pre-menstrual. Slight cramping. Nothing which could even pass as implantation pain etc and I've been hyper aware down there this last 10 days! Oh well. Cycle 7 on route....

So sorry black ribboner:( xxx

So sorry black ribboner.

Jobatch, you are same as me. I'm not supposed to test for another 3-4 days but I'm highly doubtful. I don't know how you're supposed to 'feel' when pregnant per se, but I'm sure it's different to my normal self. AF is due tomorrow (I oved late) and I'm starting to cramp a little so pretty sure she's en route.

Yeah. i just want AF to show now and stop teasing as I think I've been driving myself bonkers this month. I literally feel nothing and im guessing that I should feel 'something'. I guess I just feel like the beginnings of AF getting ready for the next few days. Poor OH though, he's quite invested; he was patting my belly last weekend before I went off to work. He didn't say anything, I just know he's hoping too. Shouldn't have tested though, could have lived in happy little fantasy world another couple of days.

Anyway - still; we ain't out till AF sings. Fingers crossed for you!

Oh BR I'm so sorry to hear that

aileth I'm not sure how people feel when they say "I knew I was pregnant, I could just feel it" - although obviously I am hoping it is how I feel right now! :P

Thanks everyone - have an appointment with the doc on Tuesday (booked to discuss the PCOS diagnosis I had a couple of weeks ago - it's been a busy fortnight ) so will go through everything with her. I also want to discuss going on Clomid - I ovulate really late (CD28+) and there's research showing this might be linked to poor quality eggs, so a potential cause of mc. Does anyone have any experience of it? I expect she'll say we haven't been trying long enough, but NICE guidelines say fertility treatment can be given earlier when there are known issues, so want to at least have a full discussion.

Will look into Glow and fertility friend, thanks. Ovia's questions were fine (though for the life of me I couldn't work out the relevance of how often I wash my hair!), but for an app that claims to be good for irregular cycles, it didn't react to my data at all, just switched dates so they'd fit its algorithm - even though the previous dates were perfectly accurate :mad:

Good luck to everyone waiting to test, I have fingers and toes crossed for you all! x

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through a rough time. Hopefully it does mean you can get fertility treatment sooner rather than later.

I've not tried Glow, but Ovia does my head in. Everything is a "maybe you're pregnant" even if you put AF symptoms in!

I went to bed at 9:30pm last night as I felt sick and crampy. The feeling remains today and my legs and back are killing me. I convinced myself in the car on the way to work that I am not pregnant and it's all in my head.

Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time BlackRibboner.

I don't use any apps, I am obsessed enough just using opks and reading this thread, an app would probably tip me over the edge into insanity :rotfl:
