OPK's, SWI, SS, BFP's, AF's and other acronyms screaming your name? Hide in our wonderfully random and general TTC double decker bus - every stage welcome!

:( AF just arrived. Poop. Cycle 7 here we go. (why does EVERYONE i know in real life get pg the first time they try??!!)

Oh..and beeble we've been trying again since August...so this is 6 months :( pooop! First month on the CBFM tho.

secret wooooo! Get on it!!!

beeble woooo I'm jealous LOL! congrats :D

Hi Secret excuse the barging in but i wondered if you had considered charting as that would really give you some insight as to whether you are ovulating or not. If you google toni weschler she has a website and a book which gives you loads of information and not just about ttc but everything. If you decide to chart you have to take your temp every day at the same time before you do anything ( no jumping out of bed ), the most reliable way is internally, you need a basal thermometer to do this ( cheap to buy). Before you ovulate your temperature is low and after ovululation it goes up. If you are not ovulating it goes up and down with no clear shift. You can also observe cm the closer you get to ovulation the more there is but you dont have to have eggwhite cm to conceive . There are some charts on her website that show what an annovulatory chart looks like. IHTH x

Wow it looks like this might be my stop!

Wish summoning the stork really was summoning a stork!

Secret. Don't get too doen on yourself hun. even whhen timed perfectly that there is still only about a 20 percent chance of something actually happening.

I would for sure try packing away and just swi away every other day for the week or so around ov time.

Secret,

You managing the tww's very well?

I'm finding it's taking over my brain. I just about caved 3x today to poas. And af not due until sat or so

My dh ixn't great at his vits either. I gotta put them in his hand.

It's weird tho isn't it, cos I only got one day of high? Two peak days, and the rest were all low. :( In theory, more high days, more chance you have? I'm starting to get a little down about not getting pregnant, mainly because I work as a teacher so am surrounded by kids all day and mums who have noooo problem at all popping them out! Some of my kids in my class are one of 6 etc. Lots and lots of babies at the gates. Can't get away from it! Makes me feel like some kind of failure :SS (plus at my age, feel like i'm last AGAIN to do what I'm supposed to do!)
Well..fingers crossed for this month, can't do any more now....xx

I keep wondering of all the little things that could potentially cause issues google is evil . AM I drinking too much soy milk, is my dh taking too hot of baths or always having the seat heater on in his car, and it's only month 2. If there is a next month I'm going to cut out the soy. then we have a 2 month break, and during that break i think i'l ask dh to please take it easy on the baths and pull the fuse on his car for the heated seats

Good luck this month scret!! how many days until af due to arrive?

If not this month, then next Oo may have to do that. My cycles are 27 to 34 days which leaves a lot of room for ov day to move around.
dtd on cd 6, 10, 11, 13, 14 and hopefuul we will hit 16 too if dh is more in the mood today.

Good luck kite!

I got TWO peaks on the monitor! Whoah! No highs, just went straight from low to peak. I was that excited you'd have thought I'd have just got a bfp! Have been swi like mad - soo soo hoping this is the month we manage to get our dream :) (and actually, if I was just trying myself without the monitor, I think we'd have missed the first one)

Well hopefully we will graduate soon too!

I tried to inform my dh about my cycles last night when he "wasn't in the mood" on my predicted ov date. It didn.t work. No swi last bight or this mirning, so another pittiful 2ww for me now!

Wow I think our bus broke down in the middle of nowhere! Has everyone jumped on the TWW thread?

Been DTD every day this week (except one) OV calendar predicts today as my ov day but could have be anytime between wed and sun with my cycles being in the 27-32 day range.

Secret - better luck next month! How is talking with your DH about the ttc process? My DH is pretty tight lipped about it all, although he hasn't objected to me jumping him like crazy this week. I'm not even sure if he knows about ov timing or how hard he wants to try or if he is more just like what ever happens happens. I wish he would go out and buy me a book like that! How sweet!

ooh oks thanks for the good advice! Day 6 today. had to poas ha. How exciting! Just waiting for next week now for hopefully some peak readings!

thanks for the heads up :) tbh i'm bricking it that it will show nothing! I'm 37, so not exactly a spring chicken...why oh why did I not meet the man of my dreams til last year! Never wished so much in my life that I was 27 ha. It does at least feel though that I am doing something proactive to maximise our changes of getting pregnant again if you get me. x and dh is quite excited about pressing the button in the morning haha.
