Enjoy your time away PKK!
Busybargainz I decided to TTC at the end of June and this month has been the longest ever!
Stupidly took a Tesco HPT last night in the hope something might show - it didn't.
Fighting myself to not buy a FR today because I don't feel pregnant tbh but I feel like I just need to know! Driving me mad!

Hello one and all. I'd like to join the thread if poss!:D

A little about me: 36 (nearly 37) yo female, married for a year next month :T:T (have been together 4.5 years) to a lovely man who turns the big 4-0 next month also. He's the one I want babies with!

We have left it a bit late because obviously the right person has come along now. I had my coil out last week and ovulated straight after, the doc advised me to have a period first (which by my boobs aching so much is on it's way soon!) so from next month we will be letting nature take it's course.

Do any of you gals use any apps or calendars to track your cycle/ovulation? When I had my coil in my cycle was 31-32 days long give or take a day.

I can usually feel when i'm ovulating too (light cramping, backache, some spots etc!).

So the journey starts now. Looking forward to being a part of the group and hopefully moving on soon!

Welcome Lou! Congratulations on your TTC journey! I'm personally using the Flo app! I did download ovia aswell but I found I preferred Flo. I'm not using ovulating kits or temping at this stage and found Flo to be all I needed!

Here's hoping

I downloaded o is too. What a pile of tripe that is. All I keep getting a requests to go premium. Its not telling me anything g half decent. I'll try flo then.


Thanks for having me!

Ladies a question for you, after the miscarriage we wanted to get back to trying asap, I had clearblue ovulation tests that were sent to me after the trial so I tracked with these and also my usual internet cheapie ov tests.

Clearblue I had flashing smiley from CD12 with a static on CD15 I was very pleased, but I was also doing the cheapies alongside as I dont feel bad about taking 5 a day with them, I never got a positive on the cheapies, CD15 was dark on them but not what would be classed as a positive and now I am CD17 the line has faded back to nothing, anyone else experienced this with the cheapies? I have got to be honest last month was the only month I have ever gotten a true positive on the cheap tests, I began to wonder if I have been missing ov all these months because I am waiting for a darker line but maybe my positives are a bit weaker than is typical? I have been thinking I must be oving later like CD18-20 but maybe I was missing ov all along! Any similar experiences out there?

Hope everyone is well!

PPK enjoy your holiday!

Happylassie did you take a test? I dont think I would be able to wait!

I don!!!8217;t think I ever had what the cheapies say is a positive. My lines got darker and the same as the control line but I really don!!!8217;t think I got a darker one very often if at all. I took my darkest lines as my positive.
I only ever did cheapies from amazon or Wilkinson (which were the same sort of thing)
Or supermarket ones a couple of times.

To those of you who use Ovia can I ask a silly question? On the front screen it says to do a test in 1 day but on the calendar screen it says af is due next week so surely I shouldn!!!8217;t be testing so soon or am I missing something?

HappyLassie13

We are away on our holidays now
I didn!!!8217;t test, we have decided to wait until we are back, however AF still hasn!!!8217;t arrived!

Will let you know if she arrives whilst we are away, if not I will keep you updated of test results when we are back
