    No I didnt get a bt coz im doing it unmonitored. Can I go to a regular gp to ask for a day 21 bt!

    I know what you mean about ff maruske, it is very obsessive. DD was conceived without all this but I consider her a miracle baby
    I don't see why you couldn't go to your GP. Or just call your FS and ask if you can have BT instead of completely unmonitored. It's unusual that they are not even giving you any more BT. I thought unmonitored meant BT, but no scans etc.

    I have no clue my FS just says to me to give it another try until my prescription runs out and she has me on two repeats or 6 cycles!

    Time for a new FS I reckon!!!!!!

    I'm not having bt's either. I had one to check the level was ok and then I was left to my own devices.

    tasha: thats a tough question, i would have thought when you see red blood you would consider cycle day 1 but if you aren't always getting that then thats tricky ! has af always been that light for you ? what does your specialist say about that ?

    Maruschke: thats good that they let you trigger, fingers crossed you get one sticky bub from it !

    mum2onesweetbun: your chart is looking good !

    williever: are you still bding or have you gone on strike now ?

    mollie: good luck with your scan and blood test tomorrow, i hope things are looking good for you

    afm: im really struggling to get moving on the bding, still having negative opt's but this afternoon i had (tmi coming up) heaps of ewcm so im really pleased about that, gosh i hope it means i will ovulate in the next few days, anyway that has given me the motivation to get busy tonight ! im also having really bad lower back pain, i hope it isn't ovulation just yet because we aren't covered !
    im on FF but i don't temp, i have found it to be all over the place with even a 15 min difference in the time i take it

    minniemouse - I am STILL bd'ing. DH is having the time of his life

    Maruschke - Very exciting.Hoping one of them sticks x

    M2OSB - FX for your bfp Chart looks good!

    Mollie - I hope the tests go well tomorrow. Are there more tests after that?

    Tasha - I would go from when you start spotting. That is an absolute guess, but if it's 14 days after O it seems a reliable measure of time. How long would AF last if you counted those days. Again I am guessing, but I think I would use the most reliable timings. Have you mentioned your light AFs to your doc?

    afm - Lots of ewcm today.....I hope that's O. I am having a glass of wine to relax. Finding this cycle stressful with ivf approaching fast Chart is completly confusing (I am even starting to question my thermometer!), but we have been maintaining the bd'ing to at least every other day........mostly everyday

    M2OSB - I would just call your FS. I'm sure she wouldn't say no if you asked for something, just to put your mind at ease.

    minniemouse - No AF hasn't always been that light, only since I started clomid. FS says it's nothing to worry about (although I always worry about it!) I used to have very irregular cycles, and when AF did come it was always normal 4-5 days, very little pain. Sounds like O is just around the corner for you, good luck!

    williever - I usually start from the second or third day of spotting, depending on how much is there. Af would last about 5-6 days counting the spotting.

    AFM - AF due Australia Day, I tested yesterday (11dpo) BFN, but I have been having heaps of cramping for a few days now. I don't usually get any cramping before or during AF. I'm also extra moody and seem to be getting mild indigestion every time I have a meal. Why do our bodies have to play cruel tricks on us! Gosh I hate the uncertainty of TTC, it drives me crazy!
