I'm sorry to hear about your PCOS primadonna.
I have heard so many stories of women conceiving with PCOS though although technically it's supposed to be more difficult. I am sure it will come for you and hopefully it will now be easier since you know what you are dealing with.

I'm sorry about your AF too coco since I had my hopes up for your BFP.

I started to worry I might maybe be dealing with CP or something since I have been receiving super faint lines for 6 days already and suddenly today I just got negatives on two tests. Pretty sad about it but they say it ain't over till AF arrives don't they? Think they should be arriving not later than Sunday. And if nothing is happening then and I continue having cramping I might have to go and meet a doctor i guess... But still crossing my fingers.

Im defenately with you next month coco on not testing everyday. Next time I'll try not to test at all untill my day of AF or even later.

How many BFPs did we have in this group this month?

Up date. I feel when we want this so badly we read into everything. If you look at my charting I had every early sign. I was even two days late however yesterday the witch arrived. It's painful and I didn't want to tell my husband because it's hard to not feel like I am letting him down. This is my last month teying on our own. Anyone know of any over the counter things that might help? Here's to a 2017 baby

I tried maca. That helped last time.

Hej eski.

I'm sorry if I ask like an idiot but what is maca?

Maca is a Peruvian root vegetable that works really well to balance hormones, increase labido, and improve fertility. You can get it in powder to add to food or in gel caps. It doesn't tast great but works.

Ahh that's great to know if I will look into something like it

Kungfupanda - I've got my FX for you.

I feel like I've returned to my normal (slightly less crazy) self now and decided that we will keep trying this month (with vitamins and OPK) but I'm not going to break down into tears if we miss a BD opportunity or POAS everyday. I'm going to assume I'm not pregnant and live life like I would normally and hopefully the next 2ww won't seem so unbearable. I even missed hot yoga last month thinking the heat may harm my imaginary baby!?!

Tonight I'm planning on making a nice dinner for DH and I, having a glass of wine and relaxing. Who knows, we might even BD for FUN **shock**gasp**

Primadonna - It can be a bit overwhelming when you get the news of a factor which may be affecting your fertility. Every month I found it a bit harder and got a bit angry from time to time so if you ever need to vent then let me know - I completely understand :-)

My DH has a slightly low sperm count. I have a very low AMH level (egg reserve) and one of my tubes was congested (which I got unblocked/congested). We are on an IVF waiting list but I'm still hopefully (perhaps naively) it will happen naturally.
