    Hi Georgi - yay this was a good month for me - I got my BFP!!! Now is the very nervous next 8mths. I still have my fingers crossed that June will be your month honey - get BDing like there's no tomorrow.

    Prama - are you going to test this week? I had a look at your chart and its not bad - your temps are still up compared to those around ovulation. Good luck honey it is looking very good for you.

    Karen - I have PCOS and my cycles prior to my recent pregnancy were very long and irregular. I only had two 'normal' cycles and the second one I got pregnant. This time is the same since Jan I have had two 'normal' cycles and the second one (this month) I have got my BFP. What I am trying to say is even if you do have PCOS this does not mean you are not likely to conceive - it just means that you need to make sure you BD as much as possible throughout your cycle as you will not know exactly when you ovulate. If not, there are plenty of things that the doctors can do to help. Good luck.

    I'm going to test on Sat, if AF doesnt turn up on Friday.
    Whether it's good or bad, at least I will be home w DH.
    Tho it's getting more and more tempting to test but i think i will hold out till Sat! I'm too scared to get +ve. I was feeling fluey today so maybe thats why my temp was high.

    Oh and CONGRATS!! you just got your how exciting!!!!!
    When did you know!!!! oh that wonderful honey

    I tested on 15DPO and again today 17DPO - so you know before my doctor - hee hee.

    I think you are wise not to test before AF is due - a -ve can be very disheartening especially when AF does not then turn up. Hoping you get your BFP this weekend and you and DH can share the moment.

    I will check up on you later this week.

    Hey guys... Tested today and it was negative. AF is due to arrive today or tomorrow, so by this time it would have been high enough if I'd been pregnant. :-( At least the TWW is over for this month! I must say I hope that next month I don't have all these symptoms, they really get your hopes up.

    Tess! Congrats on the BFP! That's GREAT news!

    Sorry to hear about the BFN LadyBoyd - hoping June is your month too so that you can be belly buddies with Georgi.

    Good luck.

    Congratulations Tess on concieving this month!!! That is wonderful and exciting news.

    Thank you for the advise, I seem to never know when I am going to ovulate. Most of the time I do not have CM. I know with my other children I did but I don't seem to be having any at all. It really varies from cycle to cycle. Can anyone else relate to that?

    Does anyone else have any tips on increasing CM?

    Are OPK's a good way of pinpointing ovulation, because I heard they just detect the LH surge, however this is not the only thing that determines whether you are able to concieve or not.

    I went to my doctor who said that if I haven't concieved by the end of the year she will refer me onto a specialist so I really want to do this by myself because I have heard they cost a fortune.

    Sorry to hear that Prama - I still have my fingers crossed for you - until AF arrives it ain't over!!

    Karen - you should check out the 'charting your cycle' thread as this is the sort of thing they discuss there. Indications of ovulation are increase in CM especially EWCM, an increase in temperature, a +ve on the OPK. Unfortunately the temp and OPK are indications that ovulation happened within the last 12-24 hrs so often can be too late. However saying that I ovulated on the 04 May and we only had unprotected sex on the 05 May so go figure!!!

    Maybe it was just too early... here it is Weds and still no AF! I'm going to retest tomorrow and see. I've had all the symptoms of AF without it coming, which I've heard can be a good sign. I'll keep you guys updated!

    Sorry about AF Parma...Its not our friend to begin with, but EARLY?

    Hi Everyone,

    Very weird I am Cycly Day 28 and no sign of AF. I was should have gotten them yesterday. However there has been occasions where I have had a 30 - 35 day cycle

    I was hoping that my cycle was normalizing again. Stupid AF

    I have been really crampy and overly emotional for the past few days and I am sure that I am about to get my next period. I have done a few preg tests but have all come up neg.

    If there is anything worse than the tww it has to be waiting for your next period so you can start the whole cycle of all over again!!!

    Well... after waiting just long enough to get my hopes up after all, AF arrived last night with a vengeance. Sigh.

    Karen-- Do you know when you ovulated and what your average luteal phase is? It may just be too early! Implantation can be anywhere from day 5 to day 12 after ovulation... If you're still in that window there's plenty of hope!

    Hi Girls,

    Well AF didn't arrive I had been testing all week (I am just so impatient). I kept getting BFN right up until two days after my period was due.

    I went to the chemist and bought a really cheap preg test and I got a faint BFP. However I had light brownish/pink (yuk) discharge in the afternoon and quite a bit of cramping.

    I think this was an implantation bleed??? which I had with my first son.

    Anyway went to the doctor in the afternoon and did another urine and it was negative. The doctor said that I should come in and do another one this week and if it is neg again then I should consider my home test a false positive. I thought there was no such thing as a false positive.
