Hi Girls
Hope everyone is well.
Right, this is my first (half of a) month doing this properly, OPKs and temping and I am baffled.
I started OPKs on Sunday which was cycle day 11 and got a definite negative (no line at all) and then yesterday and today they had lines that are quite dark but not as dark as the control line. The info on the tests says it should be of "almost equal colour intesity or darker" - which I guess it kind of is.
What do you girls reckon? Do the tests normally get darker to an absolute dark line? I guess it would be easier if I posted pictures.
Also, I have a chart on FF now, if someone wouldn't mind taking a look at it? My Ovulation Chart
I've counted yesterday and today's OPKs as negative, as I thought they were, but now I'm not so sure.
It's all very confusing isn't it?! - or is it just me?! hehe!
Also, I'm cramping on my left side - which is the side with the tube - so fingers crossed!!
Dxx

Welcome Felicity! Good luck trying.. I was also very anxious about conceiving after my ectopic and loss of left tube. I temped and was quite scientific about timing! It took us 9-10 months to conceive again.
Dlou - sounds hopeful. I'd just start bd'ing now and keep it up until OPK goes neg and temp rises
Olivia - lovely bump! Nearly there now!
Josey - I hope that's the beginning of a BFP for you!
Hi to the rest of you too!
I'm fine and nearly at the magic 24 weeks mark. I've got midwife apt tonight and then will start pregancy yoga and aquaaerobics next week, so I finally feel like I am really pregant! I'm also being kicked constantly which is lovely! xx

After a 3 month wait I finally got some news back from the fert specialist recommended by my first fert specialist. Dr. Allen said that he doesn't think my one tube is too damaged to try naturally and that we would recommend (an actual opinion!!!!) ttc naturally for 6 months before going right to IVF. He said if I do get pregnant to follow it up asap with HCG level testing and if it's not going up then to start Methotrexate injections. He said my risk is higher for another ectopic but he said to go ahead and try naturally. I'm going to take a bit to wrap my head around the idea and talk to DH and see where we end up.

Hi ladies, my name is Melissa and I was hoping to join you ladies. I just had an ectopic. My left tube was ruptured and removed on 3-4-11. I was 5 weeks and 4 days. We were cleared last thursday to start to TTC again. He said support groups are very helpful as I really haven't moved past the loss yet. I am 5 DPO so it's great that my body went right back on track. I love chart stalking.. I think I stare at mine for hours a day to try to figure it out and hope it shows me a sign of something to come. Anyway. We will TTC naturally until July and then my doc says we will try clomid and then if that doesn't work we will try an IUI. Only becuase IVF is so expensive. We have 3 other wonderful children that we don't want to take away from them when it comes to things they need. Anyway here's to hoping I can join with you ladies.
Hello girls. Just thought I'd let you know I'm still about. Officially full term today. I've been niggling on/off for weeks now but it hasn't eventuated in little miss been born. I expect this will continue until she is out. Really struggling at the moment emotionally as a dear friend had her bub yesterday and they couldn't revive her bub. She had complications during labour then an emergency c/s. I'm completely shattered. We shared 18months of ttc together and then our pregnancies. I feel like I'm rubbing salt into her wounds. I feel like a bi-tch for been pregnant although obviously there is nothing I can do to change what has happened. I'm just so heartbroken for her 
life can be so incrediby cruel.
Anyway didn't want anyone thinking I might of had bub as I've been MIA. Thinking of you all and continuing to pray those without BFPs yet soon are celebrating them.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the group too. I have found having friends is making ttc a lot less stressful. I'm a tubal reversal and was just told today after having a large cyst on my left ovary surgically removed that my right tube is blocked. I'm really hoping my left ovary works just as well as it always did before the cyst and the egg finds it's way through my one tube. Thank you and I really look forward to meeting everyone.
Oh Olivia, just read your post and had to reply. Almost the exact same thing happened to me when I was pregnant with no. 1. My best friend from NCT classes was the first to go into labour and lost the baby. It was horrendous. 2 hours after I got the phone call to tell me, my waters broke. I think it was the shock that set me off. It also meant that I was terrified throughout the labour and really tense in case something went wrong for us too. Like you I also felt awful for my friend and hubby and didn't know how to support her. She may want to avoid you and baby for a while, but my friend didn't. She felt that my baby was a link/reminder of how her baby would be (in a sad but good way). Be prepared that she may well want to talk and talk about the labour/baby and show you pictures. Take care and try and enjoy your special time before/during/after birth. Wb xx

Wow Olivia, I am in shock reading this this morning. That is horrible. I can't even imagine,
Ready I was hoping not to see you on this board.. I am so sorry. I feel so bad for everything you are going through. Are you still going to be able to do IVF or IUI?

Hey girls some news from me. I had my lap yesterday done by fs.
My right tube is totally blocked at one end, they freed off my left tube some dye got through but not patent.
Very tiny chance of falling naturally and huge chance of it being ectopic.
Not trying naturally now, getting referred for ivf in June.
Need to lose 10lbs by then.
Bit down in the dumps and still in alot of pain.
Xxx

4magpies: Aww sorry about the bad news 
will the blocked one be a problem for ivf? Hang in there hun 
We're here for you in your wait. June will be here sooner than you think. FX'd for an easy wait 
Hi Ready and Melissa, welcome to the One Tubers
Sorry for your losses and I hope you find comfort on this forum, I sure did.
AFM: DH and I have decided to brave it and try naturally for 6 months, so that leaves us somewhere around July (since we've were ttc naturally for a few months while waiting for fs's advice). If we haven't had a + by then we're off to IVF. I'm scared, but I'm determined to think positive.

Thank you ladies for welcoming me. I am stressing over this one tube. But I see so many BFP's. Were alot of them natural or did alot of them come from IVF? My hubby and I are going to try until July. Then we will go on Clomid and do an IUI. We will not be able to go the IVF route as it is to much money for us. We have 3 other children. We have been blessed we just decieded we wanted more.

Melissa,
I see you are in Ohio too what part? I live near Cincy. We are adopting my baby boy Xavier we were gonna do IVF but the opprotunity came for us to adopt him and we decided that was what was meant for us all along. I think most of the BFP's in this group were all natural.
