FF won't confirm you've o'd until it has 3 higher temps, so if you can keep dtd you should. Especially since you didn't get a +ve opk yet, your dip may not be an ov dip xx

Sharnw - my fs advised BDing at least 3 times a week from the moment af leaves.
I was really shocked to learn that sperm can 'sleep' in our womb for up to 5 days while waiting for the egg!! so by BDing in the days leading up to OV day is better than BDing on the day alone.

FXed you get your BFP soon

Hi guys! This is my first post on here- we have been ttc for over a year now and I'm going crazy!! I ovulated on 10th dec and used a clearblue easy test today and of course it was bfn!! Aaah!! I was sure this was our month I know it's still early to test but I'm getting tell tale signs that af is on her way and struggling to keep positive! Is anyone in a similar boat?! I've read a lot about clomid and preseed- what are these and are they worth trying? Is first response better than clearblue? Thinking about when to test again...

I look forward to getting to know u guys and hope we all get our bfp's soon!!

Xx

Hi Cabby - of course you can join our thread!!

I have been TTCing for 9 months now and know exactly how you feel!! I had a bit of a melt down today too! just too many others getting their BFP's and showing of either new babies or bump pics!!
I havent had clomid yet but waiting to see my FS again in 6 weeks time and hoping she gives me clomid.
I havent used pre-seed as yet - because I keep forgetting to order it. Am planning on ordering when af shows up again.
I have only used FRER's so cant really advise on which is better.

Any more questions - just shout!

Hi Cabby, welcome to the forum, hopefully 2012 will be a great year for all of us, tbh i am not really sure about those tests, but why not try again in a few days.

Since you have been trying over a year now, have you started talking to your doctor about your struggles?If you struggle to ovulate naturally, you may be prescribed clomid to induce ovulation so you can time your BDing, you can only get this on prescription, but i have heard that soy is the natural version. Preseed helps the sperm swim and last longer, as some women tend to have hostile cervical mucus. This is just a brief description as there is a lot more to it.

good luck with your journey

do you get menstrual cramps when you ovulate???

 

[caramelly]

I wanted to wait until the 24 for a test but you know what.. I've been havign a few symptoms like nauseous feeling bloated and tired.. maybe I'm imagining but I'm going to see tomorrow if my life is going to change! I'm quite excited though!!

Hello skweek85...hope u well

 

[Cabby]

Hi guys- thank you for all the luck and welcome messages

skweek35- It is so frustrating isn't it?! I swear all my friends are deciding to have babies now and it just seems to happen immediately for them! I'm obviously so happy for them but it just makes me think why not me?! One friend has just announced her pregnancy and she wasn't even trying!! They are happy about it now though but still! ha!
You mentioned you are seeing your FS is this fertility specialist? How did you get one?

MrsOjo- Thanks for your message- I may try testing 2morrow with a FRER but don't know if I can handle another BFN yet! We have been to the doctors but have to wait until February for my assessment check thing My husband has had a SA twice- the first one came back saying he had a low count and some of the sperm were dead in the sample but the second one came back much higher (although low) but the doctor said it shouldn't affect our chances that much- which panicked me more as now think something may be wrong with me I have been using OPK's and they say i am ovulating regularly so I don't know whether i would need Clomid though- might try preseed though.

Thanks for the welcome mummywant2be hope you get your BFP soon! and good luck Caramelly! and congrats to babydreams85

Sorry for the essay! Hope you are all doing well and I'll keep everything crossed that we all get that much longed for BFP soon!!

Welcome Cabby!

So, today is 7dpo for me and i've noticed that my sore nipples are still to be less sensitive than they have been since 1dpo. Is this a bad sign?

A bit of a dip this morning, Is this normal?
I haven't tested on my OPK yet,

Can someone please check my chart,, thank you

Many people have temp dips on OV day but some have them at any times throughout their cycle which can be caused my many things. I had one myself yesterday but no it wasn't to do with ovulating.
You'll need to see what your temps are like over the next few days before you can confirm if you OV'ed. As for the OPK's even if you haven't had a positive it doesn't mean you haven't OV'ed, you could have just missed your surge or be one of those, like myself who never seem to get a real +ive.

Hi and welcome

I've also been trying for over a year, after about 6 months of always getting BFN and AF turning up right on que i decided to stop testing before she was due and told myself I'll only test if/when she is late and have stuck to it, unfortunately I haven't had to test since . I just hated keep seeing those BFN month after month.
As been mentioned Clomid is used to help woman ovulate, do you have regular cycles? have you spoken to your GP and had any tests done yet?

 

[Cabby]

Thanks Babyfeva I'm not sure about ur nipple dilemma as i have never had sore nipples since I've been ttc- this month it seems to be the side of my bbs that are sore and under my arms- not sure what that's about!! I wouldn't worry about it being a bad sign though as there are so many different symptoms and some people that are pregnant don't feel any of them! Good luck to you- I'll keep FX that you get your bfp soon

Tinkerbell3 Thanks for your message- I'm so sorry you have been ttc for a year too I know how much it sucks- just hope we both get our long awaited bfp soon! Ur so strong not testing- I'm very impressed I think I may have to take your stance if tomorrow is negative as I can't handle any more bfn's after that!! We've been to our doctors but because of the long waiting lists can't have our tests done until February Rubbish! My husband has had 2 SA's done though- 1st showed he had a low count and some dead sperm but 2nd was higher (although still low the doc said it wouldnt be enough to stop us conceiving) I've used OPK's and they say I'm ovulating - are they totally accurate- i do get ovulation symptoms too.

How about you- have you had tests etc done yet?

FX for everyone
