Hi ladies.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Kerzie thank you so much.. As I'm getting closer to my af day (whatever it may be) I'm becoming more calm. For me this cycle was more about seeing what will happen in my lp (taking vitex and everything else) and I have to say I really believe it helped.

For me today I'm 9dpo of course I tested this morning and again bfn. So far I had those cramps 6 and 7dpo thought af was coming then yesterday and today no cramps at all. My boobs still aren't sore. Really odd for me. Haven't had any symptoms other than thought AF was coming. For me this is huge that I've had no spotting in my lp so maybe my cycles are finally getting better and longer. We'll see what time brings.

Pinskter, 10dpo maybe early for some but women get bfps as early as 7dpo. I test like crazy (as I'm sure you've noticed). Seeing bfns prepares me for not getting too disappointed but everyone is different.

Hello ladies,

I see there has been a big increase in activity on the forum. Took me awhile to catch up. Sorry for being MIA but we were relocating.

Kerzie I did get my cycle.

I normally get a positive opk on cd10 and today is cd10 but my opk is negative. Normally my boobs get sore after O but they became sore 2 days ago. So I am not sure if I ovulated early or if it will be late. No EWCM nor increased drive. Maybe the stress of the move or the antibiotics caused me to O early. This is a first for me and I am clueless.

Franny how are things going with you and the iui process.

Oh yeah I have my first specialist appointment later this month. My ob/gyn says to make sure you continue to bd after you O.

Fingers crossed for you Franny & kerzie and everyone else on here of course, I know only 10dpo but did/uploaded test today and not even a shadow :(, will try again Fri 12dpo and if nothing will prep myself for no Oct baby , tbh we have been trying off and on for last 2 years the fact that I never fell makes me think that Im prob just too old and time running out, we can afford private fertility treatment so unless the doc gives me Clomid next month not sure what else I can try? & to all -x-x-

Hi all,

Pink, I hear being swollen in our sensitive areas can be a good sign as it is blood flow increasing. I hope that's what it is with you. So seem to have a lot of good symptoms this month which is fab!! Don't get upset about the bfn yet, I don't implant until day 10 so it could still be too early..
Like you I can't afford ivf but women all over the world are still getting a bfp at our age, most have no problems so don't feel the need to join a forum. More and more women are now having babies in their 50's, take a look at the active fertility friends forum for proof. If you think old, you will feel old so STOP!!!
It WILL happen

Jandei, I am so glad the spotting has stopped, that alone is great news. We take every success with joy and one day we will get the best success of all, that Let's hope it's this cycle too xx

39, let's hope the stress of moving has you ovulation late. If you have had no ewcm, chances are you didn't. Antibiotics made me have copious amounts of ewcm so I doubt you could have missed it. Maybe your boobs are sore from the extra strain put on them, . Packing, unpacking, . Lifting, reaching and general over exercise with your arms.
Keep doing the opk' s and let us know how you get on.

Franny, you might be absent for a number of reasons but know we are all praying for you xx

Afm, over the worse of af and taking iso flavonoids for the next few days. Feeling back to my spritely self again. Back to a healthy diet for me and I'm actually looking forward to it. I eat healthy gut don't ban "the bad stuff", it's all about moderation and portion size.
I'm excited to see if we (as in you ladies) get a bfp this month, wouldn't it be great. Statistically it has to happen soon. Good luck ladies xxx

Good Evening Ladies,

Just checking in. According to FF, I'm 4 dpo. My temps are wacky this cycle and ovulation wasn't as predictable as last month. I did receive a +OPK and have EWCM around the sametime but a negative on CB monitor. Maybe I ovulated or Maybe not. I'm traveling for work this week and didnt get to bd as much. Ugh. At anyrate, much hoping to read about +HPT from you ladies real soon.

Hi ladies!

Kerzie you are the matriarch of the forum. Love your positive motivation!

I finally got my +OPK today and started seeing some EWCM. DH and I are still exhausted from the move but hopefully we can muster up some energy to bd a few times. I am using preseed with soft cups this month.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday.

Hiya ladies, how are you all doing, thank you Kerzie for your kind words and hopefully your right, we certainly deserve our dream come true, I will test again tom/Fri, I agree 39andcounting shes brill and with the BDing, chocolate always gives me energy ;) haha, I will also be trying the soft cups next month if no Sat/Sun, love n luck to all -x-x-x-

Hi lovely ladies. I'm out for the month. Yesterday I had some spotting 10dpo and again this morning and feels like af coming. I'm not too upset because this cycle was better than previous ones so it's ok.

Pinkster I hope you get that bfp! I used soft cups the last 2 months as I've heard many success stories. Hopefully you will not need them though

Kerzie I'm where you were a few days ago. Preparing myself for this new cycle.

Hi Ladies, found you! I'm out too. AF came as usual bang on time Day 28. Upwards and onwards!

Xx

Hi ladies,

Mico, It sucks when you don't know for sure if you o'd or not, you seem to be handling it well but remember there is always a chance

39, Great news, now you can go for it and still get things done afterwards knowing you are increasing your chances with the soft cup. Good luck, blizzards of baby dust and most of all have fun xx

Pink, No af yet? That's a good sign, keeping fingers crossed for you tomorrow. Like the idea of a little chocolate before bd'ing, if all else doesn't work I'm ready to try bribing it

Jandei, Good for you, being positive when af comes. You deserve recognition for that alone. Take this time to do something nice for yourself. Celebrate the improvements you cycle has had, it's all down to your efforts. Hugs

Teachermum, Glad you found us Do you have any plans for this cycle?

Let's hope we all have better luck this cycle and to ladies still in the game we are all pulling for you xxxxxx
