Normally it's once you've had transfer girls best of luck to you both xxx

Yeah after transfer if you are doing IVF, and after O if you are doing au natural, After insemination if IUI....

Au natural assuming you DTD around the right time and you had confirmed O i guess?

Thank you all for the replies

I did another opk today and the line was visible but only just... After seeing such a dark test line on Monday and calling my clinic to speak to my nurse, she is fairly certain that I did O either Monday night or yesterday sometime!!! Yay!!! Still having blood work on Monday to completely confirm but I am hopeful!!!

Quick question- I have also been having some SERIOUS cramping since Monday... They kind of feel like AF cramps but more intermittent and my bbs are really really sensitive, it is painful to put a bra on and even to have the water from the shower hitting them if i have it turned on too hard... Is this a common thing with O???

I think I need to invest in some OPKs now.

I have started using the thermometer and have been doing Saliva tests so maybe this will help me know for sure if I have o'd

Doesn't your clinic test for ovulation kbudgie?

Jo, those can be common post-O symptoms. I've had awful cramping at 3-5dpo the last 2 cycles and I noticed today that my bbs are quite sensitive (although not as bad as you're saying).

kbudgie, the opks give you an indication that O is on the way, similar to the saliva microscope. It's the temps that confirm that O has happened. Opks and saliva microscopes predict before O happens and temps confirm after O, if that makes sense?

Afm, no wine, but we did make the trek to get Turkish for dinner. It's a half hour drive each way, so we don't go often (and I was surprised DH didn't say he was too tired). So now I'm stuffed full as a goog... I can roll down the hall to bed, instead of using the crutches...

Miloro - won't your clinic give you some progynova to thicken up your lining? That's what I am on.

Jo - congrats on o

Emma - orgalutran is aweful. As soon as I started injecting I became bloated & sick. Not sure if it was I was over stimulated or the orgalutran though. Fx for you!

Juniper - yay for having a lovely meal with your dh. Is your ankle getting any better?

Hi everyone else.

Afm - no news just another week to wait for bt. This week is going forever!

We have not really gotten that far. We had initial tests - blood test & ultrasounds for me and semen analysis for him and all seemed to be fine. Next step is Laparoscopy and we are waiting for this but have an appointment with new FS coming up 14/12/12 so if they offer a Laparoscopy we will just get it done instead of waiting. I am trying to learn more about my cycles as someone here suggested I may have been having chem pregs but not know as I have never tested until when AF is due and I have not had many cycles that are not reasonably regular. I have had the odd few days late and few days early which makes me think maybe chem. I find tcc is always somewhere in my thoughts and it can be such a depressing thing every twinge and cramp and bloated feeling etc etc I find myself wondering if it is a sign and though I try not to get my hopes up I tend to and then get upset when AF comes AGAIN!

sorry - seem to have turned this into a little vent :O
