Af on way
Sorry you're out javagal
Custard cream sorry to hear you're so sad, I have no advice I can give you but am sending you virtual hugs and hope things get a bit easier for you soon
Mink what thermometer have you got? I got mine in mccabes pharmacy and it was crazy bad, came in a little plastic case!! My temperature could rise a whole degree within seconds.......gave up on that one and ordered one on Fri.days recommendation off ebay so just waiting for that to arrive now. Am a bit all over the place myself this month but am going to give sperm meets egg a semi shot (must really warn my poor husband to get ready).
Applesock will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!0 -

yellow hen, I've been using maca so hoping if that regulates my cycle will be a start
Hope this can be your month I'm waiting on AF cycle very long last month not expecting pregnancy. Boobs sore sooo moody etc. We've been talking and decided in the new year if nothing we are going to go to the doctors. Ive been of the pill 2 years now & still nothing :mad:cycle still all over the place :mad:so upset when i think about it 0 -

Thanks applesock. Is that the aim of maca? To regulate your cycle? I feel your pain somewhat. Im off the pill 9months now and only in the last 2months did I get a positive opk. My cycle has ranged from 70days to 28days but I'm praying its back to 28 this month. It's so depressing, you never think it will happen to you 0

yellowhen i thinks its to regulate hormonal balance which will maybe regulate cycle. Mine has been the same as yours some months i got my standard of 30-32 then was nearly 90 last year to my last one being 52 days !! what is going on with my body!! I no it is very hard i was sure id be pregnant straight away after the pill but guess doesn't work that way for some of us. I was telling my friend i was off the pill two years (she has two kids) and she was like :eek::eek: your of it two years. So i ended up just telling her I'm back on it because i don't want to get into it.
Javagal fingers crossed for you my boobs have been beyond huge the last week only sore today 0 -
applestock reading u had a cycle of 90 days makes me feel like im not alone currently im waiting af and ive been waiting for 67 days and no sign yet. i used to have dodge cycles and then doc realised thyroid was out of whack so got that sorted and was back to cycles of 32 days and i loved being "normal" and knowing when it would arrive but now im back to not knowing so im heading back to my doc again. but reading others have long cycles is good in the sense i know im not totally abnormal.
good luck to all trying 0 -

Allgirlz, that sounds suspiciously like a Big Fat Positive! I know someone else on here had a feint line & thought it was an evap line but turned out to be a positive. How long did you leave the test? Did you do it in the morning? I would say to get one of those sensitive digital ones & do it with first morning pee. I'll hold off on the congrats til hear back...:DMink what thermometer have you got? I got mine in mccabes pharmacy and it was crazy bad, came in a little plastic case!!

I should have done that to begin with. It's just one in a plastic case from a chemists. When I went back to the shop lo & behold it started working perfectly, murphy's law. Anyway I've not been tracking temps properly so giving up on it for this month.
Hope all the irregular cycles regulate this month. I've heard maca helps regulate it also. I won't know if my cycle has gone normal until next AF. Last one was 28 days but one before that was 36 days.
I'm just all over the place this month. On CD12 (only worked that out just now) so I'm into my fertile days. Managed to do the deed last night but our cat is quite sick and we're worried about her & trying to get tests done with vet, and she's clingy as hell & plonks herself in between us in the bed and just don't have the heart to move her.
I keep forgetting my OPK's, temping is not working out, not tracking dates. I'm usually a Monica Geller type organised person so just need to get it together as we'll miss the window otherwise. I'm not being a very professional TTCer this month!
I do think I'm near ovulation as the aul cervical mucous is favourable but only discovered that last night with the deed-doing
I will say that evening primrose oil seems to be making a difference. Since I've been taking it for about past month & 1/2 (I think) my skin's a bit better, CM seems more favourable, cycle was at least normal last month & pretty sure I ovulated last month as got a massive positive on the OPK last month.
Crap just realised the hubby is not going to be home til very late, will have to have middle of the night half-asleep sex!0 -
Hi girls... evening primrose and conceive plus from boots did the trick for me in one month... after ages trying! So thanks for suggesting
Delighted! I had a miscarraige this time two years ago so a bit nervous still but over the moon anyway... 0 -
That's fantastic cyning!!! Congratulations Wishing you a healthy pregnancy!
Mink I ordered my thermometer on friday morning from that link Fri.day provided along with some ovu tests and it arrived yest. Much better quality than the one I got in the chemist and was only 5.99 if you're still interested.
Looks good allgirlz, fingers crossed for you too!
Sarahbro it's not over yet! Don't give up until AF arrives
Neyite how are you doing?? Into the second trimester yet? 0 -

Sorry Sarahbro, hope you are ok I can imagine how you must be feeling. Be good to yourself and a new start next month, hopefully this will be the one for you.Digs, AF arrived about an hour after my post
It's a tummy bug - not morning sickness
Girls thanks for all the congrats, however this morning I got a bfn however I now have a linea nigra and my dd is 5 years old so it is not from her. I am so confused, af not due until Sunday. Any opinions?0 -

Fingers crossed for positives all round!
Can I just ask a question, this is in no way a criticism just something I have wondered. Why test before period due date? Are you not just setting yourself up for disappointment? On day period due or after a missed period I can understand, but days before? Isn't that very stressful?0 -
Yes it is!! Am driving myself cracked this month plus I have lots of work stuff going on (contract ending at end of month) so don't need to be stressing myself out further, am going to put it out of my head for a few days and Dublinlady you are right first response is def the way forward. Best of luck to everyone else. Thanks for the support girls, this thread is the best!Sittingpretty wrote: »Fingers crossed for positives all round!

Sorry, I wasn't just singling you out at all, just something I had wondered as I see it so often on this and other boards. Best of luck with your next test, a line is a line! 0 -

I never did, but it was exactly for that reason. My period usually arrived exactly when I expected it to, so the only times I tested was exactly on my due date if my period had not beaten me to it in the morning. Since my cycle could vary from 25-27 days I always left it until the later date.
I liked those few days of daydreaming about teeny tiny socks, or how I would tell the OH that I got a positive test or whatever. Then I would be in the following order:
CD1: tearful and upset,
CD2, Angry and in a black mood, internally scowling at preggers women (which were everywhere) and
CD3, acceptance and start to pretend to get upbeat about the next cycle working for us.
By CD4 I was focused on the next ovulation date and my unhappiness put behind me for another cycle.0 -
Hi Ladies,
My af is due since yesterday 30-31 day cycle, no sign of her. But I feel odd, like a dull pain in my back for about 5 days now which can become kinda stabby every now and again.
I don't wanna test cause I don't wanna feel the upset rejection 0 -
Hi javagal, I'd do the test and rule that out then I'd double check I haven't pulled a muscle, maybe trying with hubbie
or a kidney infection, or just an unexplained niggle that we all get.
Hopefully it will be a BFP. I keep telling myself that doing or not doing the test won't change the facts either I am or I'm not pregnant. The test won't change that.
That said I thought I could be, very sore boobs, a bit of an upset tummy, lots of hormones, etc. but today I feel very crampy so I suspect AF is coming tomorrow. I had said no test til Sunday as at that point I'd be 14 days from ovulation.
I guess I'm a bit upset this month cause a positive would have meant 12 week for Christmas and that would have made being childless and santa clausless easier
Plus my lovely sister in law just gave birth today, and as with our last pregnancy we had seen this little girl and ours as playmates with about 10 weeks between them, I guess it's hitting a bit that ours is gone. God I better pull myself together still have over an hour of work to go. :rolleyes:0 -

When I did get pregnant in June, I did the test at 11 days past ovulation, it was my wedding day so didn`t want to drink if it was positive, I`m off on our honeymoon next week so hopefully I get a positive before I go so ill know not to have alcohol in my cocktails!!
Still ive been taking pregnancy tests from 8/9 days past O til period is due to be doing something. This time I`m doin one on sunday morning (11dpo) til AF due friday..
Very busy lately so it`s taking my mind off the wait0 -
