Morning ladies, bfn again this morning and temp went down so fully expecting af on Thursday.
CarlyP - as you've already had children (if you gave birth naturally of course) then your cervix will always feel a bit open.
I've had blood tests and my hubby is due to have his SA in December, and only then will they refer us to a specialist which by the looks of it takes forever, so not really holding out much hope that I'll even see a specialist before I'm 36.
I tried evening primrose oil but it gave me migraines. Think I might try some supplements.

If you don't get a lot of ewcm when you ovulate mucinex will help thin out all your secretions (including the vagina) which will help those sperm swim on up and fertilize that egg!
I check my cervix pretty regularly which is how I figure out my O date. When you O , the cervix is high, soft, wet, and open. Before AF, ther cervix is low, hard and open. Once you feel around for a but you'll get the hang of it.
When it's soft, it feels like lips. When it's hard, it's like ripe fruit.
If you've had kids it's always a little open but it opens more for O and AF.

Well AF due tomorrow and BFN (I caved and tested a day early) spotting has stopped though, I think I'm going to go see my gp as I've looked back at my previous cycles and I do spot quite regularly, so may be a progesterone problem.
One of us needs a BFP to get the party started. We have a great group of ladies here and we need some luck!
Fx that one of us sees those 2 beautiful lines soon!!
Anybody else testing again?
Think I may test again tomorrow as it's consuming my every thought at the moment. Do the cheap tests work as well as FRER?

I may test tomorrow, when AF is due. Or maybe just wait and see if I'm late. I don't want to see a bfn! I think I'm having cramps, but thu are so light it kind of feels gassy. I tried feeling my cervix, it felt hard, but I couldn't find an opening... Around the cervix was soft... But the only thing I wasn't sure of was an opening, also if it was high or low.... Since I'm not sure where it normally is, it didn't seem too high, but nearly my whole finger was up there so maybe?!

I use cheap dip strips, never had a bfp with them though so unsure how reliable they are. I live in a small town so if I go and buy a test from the shop/chemist I will pay well over the odds and everyone will know by the time I've got out of the place!
Today I have lots of energy, lower backache, mild headache, mild cramps and tender bbs. Feeling out though.

I'm with ya! We were ntnp for over a year! Now trying for 3, possibly going onto 4 months. I'm worried somethig may be wrong, but at the same time, I have regular cycles. So that's a huge plus I think. I don't think you should be too worried yet either. As I've been told, and it's totally true, you could have just been having sex at the wrong times when ntnp.
And good for you for getting away for the weekend!!! Everyone needs that!!
AF is due tm and I still don't feel like it. My boobs don't hurt at all anymore, no spotting, no nothing, cramps a little but barely, I think it was just gas! Haha!

Temp went down this morning and had a bfn, fully expecting af to appear Thursday. Spent the day at the hospital with my boy, but he was allowed home thankfully...last month he was in for 3 nights. Hubby asked how we would cope with another child but I do think the hospital stays are lessening as he gets older (he's been in 8 or 9 times over the last 2 years). That's one of the reasons we delayed trying. Luckily my boss is very understanding and allows me time off when my little man is in hospital.

Thank you, he's prone to wheezing and gets bad at times unfortunately. Happens a bit too often but hopefully should grow out of it, or at least won't get so bad as he gets older.
My 3 boys were terrible asthmatics when they were little. The nebulizer was our best friend. Now they've almost completely grown out of it!
I know my dr will start testing you after a year if you're under 35 and after 6 months if you're over 35.
Have you considered talking to your dr yet?
Still sending you and the other girls every positive thought and good vibes.
We're all at the end now so at least we can get some closure either way and possibly make plans to improve our chances next month.
I'm thinking of ordering the OPK online to see if maybe I'm really off on my O date.
