I've got 7 that I can pop in the post for you. I literally can't be arsed to piss on anymore sticks. If I'm not pregnant this month then it seems it doesn't matter what i do so will stop wasting money on them. So let me know if you want them.

You sound fed up QNT. Do you get positive opks or are they always negative? How long have you been ttc?

Yeh a bit fed up. 8 months now which I know isn't long in the scheme of things but took me so long to get over ds birth and my pregnancy which was horrible that now all I can see is the age gap between siblings getting bigger and bigger and every month I'm disappointed. I had a positive once with the opks and dtd around that time but nothing, no other positives so think I must miss the surge.
I'm happy to give them away if you want them?
We attempting a dtd every 2-3 days and using pre seed now to see if that helps. Don't feel very positive about it though. I don't really have the temperament to cope with disappointment month after month plus everyone around me is having babies or announcing pregnancies and then asking me when we're gonna try for another. "You don't want to have too big an age gap do you" yeh like I haven't alread thought of that.
Oh god sorry I'm ranting sorry!

Me too. Feel the same as you. Everyone pregnant. Ds is now the only one left out of my friend's children to be an only one. He keeps asking when he's going to get a brother or sister.
We have been trying for 16 months. I am also very very very very fed up.

Out you can dtd every 2/3 days then that sounds great, we can't so have to be a little more creative. I totally get the disappointment. Have you spoken to your Gp about any help that might be available to you?

I do use the internent opks, but I also wonder/hope you might feel differently in a few days, presuming your af just hit?

PS, how often are you testing? I test about twice a day from about cd8, I've ovulated on cd10 before, and I continue testing for a while after an opk just to make sure. The surge can disappear quickly.

You guys are so nice thank you. If I'm not pregnant this month I'm gonna go to gp and ask if there's a blood test or something they can do to check on things. I'm not on no I'm in the tww but I'm all hormonal so prob due on any day now!
Testing once or twice a day with opk and if there's a line then ill test again in a couple of hours to see if its darker. Not really working out though.

Opks never used to work for me. Then I managed to get pg without them, since that pregnancy Opks work, go figure. Gp can so blood tests, two, to see if you're ovulating. Good luck. I really felt for you sounding so fed up, answers will help.
