Good luck. Hope this is the month for many of us who are TTC-ing!
It is SO difficult to stop reading into every little change - obsessive symptom spotting. I hate myself for doing it, but I cannot control.I started recording my bbt and testing opk (using internet cheapies) from the middle of my previous cycle and glad that I did that as I noted that my O-days (last cycle and this cycle) turned up few days earlier than that predicted by womanlog. Well probably, I am not one the many with 14 days luteal phase. Just earlier this month, the sua-ku me was absolutely awestruck by the wonders of human body when my bbt dropped drastically before my AF arrived the next day. I consoled myself at least it helped me to understand my body a little better.
I am in my TWW - 10dpo today. Hope I can stay sane for the next few days.
Once again, good luck to all TTC-ing!
yes i regret reading too much into the symptoms.
af is showing itself today.
sigh...
ouch... new cycle, new hope. Jiayou!

Hi all ladies, I have got 2 boxes of conceived well gold expiring Jan 2016 for sale selling @ 32 bucks per box. PM me if interested. Thank you.
Hi all, i'm new here. Been TTC since late last year. My cycle is usually 28 days, however, lately, my average cycle has shortened to 25 day based on the period tracker in my hp. I'm 8 days late but i'm very afraid to test. Might get another meltdown if it's negative. What should i do? Wait for another week or so?

it's ok to wait another week.
meltdown is also ok.
we stand stronger after each try isnt it?
good luck.
u encounter 25 day cycle since when?
thanks jayjayqueenie.
I have this app installed in my phone since jun 2014. hence, it has been diligently tracking my cycle since then.
my cycle has been always been between 24 - 29 days. lately, it has been getting shorter (since june 2015).
i'm just afraid that it might not be pregnancy. not sure if it could be stress or other factors. but, i'm very sure that my period hasnt been this late ever in my entire life.
i'll probably wait till end of the week (which will make it 2 weeks late provided the AF has not arrived by then) to check.

yes that's a good idea.
in the meantime, i can still have sexual intercourse right? hope this is not too much to ask.. haha..

oh i didnt know that having intercourse during this period could bring about AF. prolly i shall give this a miss till I've confirmed the reason behind my one week or so late period. it's so tempting to do the test. but i think it's okay to wait a little longer.
Hi all, I'm new here. Have been TTC-ing for about 2 years and #1 is almost 5 years old. I suffered a miscarriage in Jan this year due to blighted ovum. Just want to share my weirs story and possible give some hope to those TTC-ing.
Im 27 and I have been charting my periods and ovulation for a year plus now. I used ovulation strips for about 7-10 days in a cycle, around the time where ovulation is supposed to happen. I tested at the same time everyday as I'm supposed to, but interestingly it seems like I ovulated only 50% of the time. Some cycles I don't get a positive at all, most cycles it's just a faint positive for the ov strip. I don't track basal temp nor use any fertility meds.
Anyway for the October cycle I tested for ovulation but didn't get a positive. Anyway we still continued to have intercourse during the window I'm supposed to ovulate, every 2 days. A few days after I started having weird symptoms I never had before such as nipple leaking clear fluid. I went to the hospital for bad right side cramps. I really thought I was pregnant but all tests came back negative even in the hospital. So I thought not lucky this time round. I also fell very sick with flu. Then one day before my next period supposed to come I noticed I have the egg white fertile discharge. So quickly got my husband to do it again. I usually don't check my discharge so near my period. Just happened that I decided to check it during this cycle for fun. We did the deed but I fully expected my period to come within the following days. But then no period. I waited till 3 days late and tested again. Still negative. Then about 10 days late I tested. Faint positive. 11 days late, faint positive but darker this time. I got a clear positive at 14 days late.
Went to Dr and found out I probably conceived during the impromptu session one day before my period.
I am currently on blood beta monitoring cos of the faint line and my previous miscarriage bit so far all seems ok beta levels are doubling every 2 days. So I am indeed pregnant.
Just wanted to share this as all along I TTC during the standard ovulation window and didn't consider doing it other times. And after 2 years I finally got pregnant without the tracking and on an impromptu session. Am around 5 weeks now.

hi joodz88, thank you for sharing your experience. i tested on the 7th day i missed my menses. result turned out -ve. today would be my 10th day. probably i'll wait till this sunday (14 days by then), to do another re-test (hopefully AF does not appear yet). but, i feel so anxious waiting. gotta keep my mind occupied in the meantime. any suggestions what to do to keep myself pre-occupied before the re-test?
Hi zuzu2007, don't give up.. take a look at the picture of my test when I was 7 days late. Can't see much it's like I dnt even know the line is there not.. only after leaving the test for one whole day I see a very faint line.
For me after so many months of negatives I don't even want to think about it.. just go about focusing on my daughter.. work.. even now I am still not fully believing it until I get confirmation everything is OK..

being a first-timer, i actually threw away like right after a minute because i didn't see any line apart from the control line. After doing some reading-up, I realised I had to wait like 5 to 10 mins before I could throw it away. i thought normally the results would be immediate. i guess i'll just wait a bit longer next time. i've also been reading up alot on signs of pregnancy. i've been peeing a lot (like hourly), i've always wanted to eat sweet stuff, and i feel my tummy is bloated (haha. could be extra air i think). and always checking my undies in case AF comes along. I guessed it's better for me to relax and not think so much. By the way, does it matter on what type of HPT we used? like do we need to use an ultra-sensitive kit?
okay.. i shall cheer up.. looking at the pics above sorta makes me feel better.. i hope i will get some good news soon too..
Haha actually after having been through 3 pregnancies.. I realise every pregnancy is different. And u are right must wait at least 5 mins. For the 7 days late one the very faint line didn't even show up for quite some time and I have to keep squinting and changing angle under the light.. lol.
But not having period come for so long is surely a good thing esp if u have regular periods. For me my period come like clockwork. But still take so long to ttc. My first one.. conceive on wedding day haha.. I thought 2nd will be easy but that's not the case.

thanks joodz88. yup i managed to get the cheapos HPT from qoo10. david pregnancy kits with 15miu/ml. good luck to everyone in this thread. and to you too.
Hi zuzu2007, I resorted to playing online games that I was addicted to many years back to occupy my after office hours last month. Maybe you can try to engage yourself in something that you have been thinking of doing but somehow you do not have time for it? I know it how looooooong three and a half days can feel like. Hope it is good news for you on Sunday. Best wishes.

thanks for the advice. the wait is super duper long. AF has not arrive yet. I guess I shall not think so much and just wait for the weekend to come. what if AF hasn't arrive yet this sunday and HPT been showing (-ve)? do i go see a doctor to check for further test (just in case it's not pregnancy)?Hi zuzu2007, I resorted to playing online games that I was addicted to many years back to occupy my after office hours last month.

I didn't see any faint line.
I experienced this before a few months back, perhaps too stress over the positive sign till I myself also see a very faint + sign. My AF came after all the tests.
Hi zuzu2007, alot of factors can cause delay in AF e.g. stress, weight loss, weight gain, change in schedule, change in medication, etc. To make sure everything is alright, you may want to go to the doctor.
Actually i think i see a vertical line. It's not centralised, more like near the left side. However it may also be evaporation line. Perhaps you wait 2 more days and try again?

Been trying for close to a year now but still no baby luck. Sometimes I wonder if it's stress and how to stop thinking about this. People also have been asking and some suggesting ways (eg: using thermometer or go holiday or see gynae). Wonder how to reply at times and also feel abit affected but got to hide it. AF is coming in 5 days time and already am feeling some cramps.
Still want to wish you all ladies good luck in the ttc!!

Probably can try to go see a doctor to do a blood/urine test! That may be more accurate.

Today is my 15dpo and my temp dropped this morning. Already feeling bouts of pre-af symptoms. Haiz, I should be out.
Nevertheless, I still hope that many sisters here can get their bfp soon.
no worries we will get there

Let's keep encouraging each other! Ttc journey is not always a breeze but we pray for that day to come soon for many of us here.
Thanks. I'll probably go see a doctor if AF hasn't arrive by the end of the upcoming week. Today will be like my 2nd week of missed period. But i guess to wait a little longer might help.Hi zuzu2007, alot of factors can cause delay in AF e.g. stress, weight loss, weight gain, change in schedule, change in medication, etc. To make sure everything is alright, you may want to go to the doctor.

Do you ladies experience sore breasts?
Hi ladies,
I have some leftover ovulation strips, willing to let go at very low price. Bought a pack of 35 strips (30 ovulation strips and 5 pregnancy strips) at $18. Used a few and got pregnant. Currently left with 26 O strips and 1 pregnancy strip, willing to let go at $10 and hoping to spread some baby dust to everyone.
Let me know if u're keen. Good luck to all ladies here.

2 weeks missed period seems long. Ur symptoms could be early pregnancy symptoms. Get a pregnancy kit from pharmacy to test first. Good luck.

Actually, I feel abit weird recently. I have been trying to lose some weight and doing 30 mins cardio on alternate days. When I tried to do it on Fri, I feel like am so heavy and abit clumsy kind. Reaction abit slow kind.
- Both Bs abit sore to touch. I remember before my AF, I will have sore Bs and it last for about 3 to 5 days.
- Mouth get thirsty easily
- Backache wise is normal for me because am TTC my #2
- And peeing, been waking up to pee like twice?
- Having cramps lately, don't know is it due to tummyache or...
I hope am not being sensitive again, like fake symptoms.

Hihi, i have been ttc too for my second one, managed to get pregnant but all fail (MC). First no heartbeat, 2nd blighted ovum and today is biochemical pregnancy. Really dont know what happened to me? Should i see and consult my gynae to investigate or just go straight for fertility specialist. Hub like lazy to do all this and said if cannot then only one child now is fine (
(Hi all.. i'm on CD 4 today. Have TTC for last 2 cycles.. My child is 2 years old and i am still bfg her (at night). My 1st AF after delivering her came when she was 15 months old and although i got my AF monthly, the cycle was very irregular ranging from 27 to 53 days.
I started taking BFW (bai fong wan) and i gradually see my cycle length reduce. Hopefully it can regulate to about 30 to 35 days. I also monitor my ovulation every mth and I have late O on CD 25 onwards. My LP is exactly 14 days.
I've read many articles suggesting to wean from breastfeeding to increase my chances but she is not willing to do so and i had a hard time doing it.
Although I am already blessed with 2 kids but somehow I still feel a bit disappointed each time AF arrives. Hopefully i will get good luck this cycle.
