Thank you ladies,
I chart my cycles, its the only way i knew if there was an inkling of any thing happening it actually helped keep me sane Having long cycles is so rubbish!
I'd had blood tests for pcos etc but it all came back fine they just blamed it on being on the pill a few years back, my cycles just never regulated.
I'm still feeling a bit wary and expecting af to show up though!

Good luck hun hope your doc appointments go well, i've tried opk's but ended up using sooo many i gave up!

You can get OPKs dead cheaply from ebay just like the cheapy HPTs, so it doesn't need to cost a fortune, I do an OPK every day from the end of my period.

Those were the ones i got, but personally i didn't want to be testing with them every day for 3-4 months at a time. I never got lucky with a positive opk but other people might do

CD 50 today, really sick stomach all day and had the runs and overtired. I'm not going to test as I'm too used to getting BFN's and the fact my first and only af came as a result of meds am not too hopeful of getting BFN. Ive an ultrasound next week so I'm sure I'll find out then either way.

Just popping in as I saw Trish's ticker on my journal....

I just got a positive pregnancy test! I haven't even told my DH yet because he is at work and I definitely want to tell him in person. I haven't wrote anything on my blog yet either. We've been trying 1 year and 4 months and this is the first positive we've gotten. I go in for blood work on Thursday morning (the earliest I could get in). Seriously freaking out right now!

So so so so pleased for you. You deserve this - it is your time xx

More good news - congrats!!

Spotting today which signals AF is around the corner. Last chance for a 2012 baby gone. Maybe 13 will be my lucky number?

Congrats Heidi!!

Wow loving the positive news here.

OMG SO happy for Trish. She's been through so much. I've been following her blog when I remember

The only way I know I've ovulated with through temping. My gynecologist also has me set up to go in for blood tests. I'm still waiting to ovulate this cycle and I'm into the cd30's... perhaps it happened 2-3 days ago but only time will tell.

to everyone!!

I don't know what to think - two nights in a row I've been sleepwalking and shouting at my husband. I sleepwalk - sporadically - all the time, but the only time I've ever shouted at MrReiver in my sleep was when I am pregnant. So confused.

Guys have abdominal ultrasound on Monday, fingers crossed I don't get too nervous and find out more as to whats going on with my cycles.

Fingers crossed for you, hope you can relax and have a chilled out weekend. Try not to worry too much, x
