Hello, going to mark my place as thinking AF is on it's way (day late but tested BFN y/day - boo!)

It's my third month of ttc dc3 (dc1 and 2 just happened quite quickly and w/out much thought/stress)

My Oct BFP would be due around the middle of the month (my cycle anywhere between 28 and 31 days).

weechops · 17/09/2012 10:40

taking I got my smiley on day 16 last month of a 29 day cycle, so thinking it may be the same this month.

TakingTheStairs · 17/09/2012 09:57

Your DH will be worn out weechops! Grin

No smiley face for me on the OPK yet. I have no idea what my cycle is like as this is my first one off the pill, but I'm on CD13 too and was hoping for a smiley face around now. I'm going to keep testing until Friday with optimism and if I don't have one by then... well I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

cd13 today so going all out this week and dtd every day. DH has a bit of a sniffle but hopefully he'll man up and do what needs to be done!

kNickerbockerGloryCherry · 16/09/2012 18:38

Unless you ovulate by CD9, probably not :-)

33PinkLadyApple · 16/09/2012 17:47

Any point dtd today? Cd6. Cant be bothered.

sazzababs · 16/09/2012 12:21

Hey everyone! waves
I was on the Feb thread as I got our BFP after 6 months of half-assed trying! Was also in the JS thread :D Unfortunately, I was one of the '1 in 3' and had a missed mc shown at the 12 week scan :'( Had an ERPC at beginning of August then my MIL died suddenly. Fair to say August was NOT our month :/ l had AF for a day (!) 4 weeks to the day later, then nowt. SOOOOOOOO, I'm on th WTF cycle and I'll put my date as testing on 13th October :) Nice to 'meet' you all, and here's to October!

MadameJ · 14/09/2012 20:56

Can I join too, being off the pill for 4 months now and thought I had being lucky this month but oh no AF arrived today Sad.

I have no idea about my periods etc anymore since I stopped breastfeeding so all a bit clueless really Hmm

chookford · 14/09/2012 15:35

Yes me Pink I have ordered them but I am still undecided on whether or not to use them, as like you say I know I will become obsessed and will only make ttc more difficult...and as I don't have a regular cycle I don't really know when to test anyway would just be a case of everyday I think! I really really want a bfp soon but I am still hopeful of just being able to take things as they come.. although saying that if in a few months nothing is happening I will be taking matter into my own hands!

Hi Puppy good news re your blood test, fx for that bfp soon!

littlepinkfizz · 14/09/2012 15:24

Tablet for me please weechops! Sounds delicious! Now on cd 3 of cycle 3.

Will promise not to worry, stress, symptom spot or get anxious if we don't Dtd around ov time......

Glad I'm not a betting person...but have not succumbed yet to opk, mainly due to price but also think I would just become obsessed with the whole thing which would just make my chances of ttc zero.

Anyone else feel like this?

PuppyMummy · 14/09/2012 14:43

marking my place if i may? Come from the September thread, CD1 cycle #7 today, not worked my dates out for october yet but I will do at some point.

apart from Af arriving today I had blood tests back including day 21 and they were all normal, which is good.

VioletCherry · 14/09/2012 14:19

I used to live in Scotland so obviously a big fan of tablet! yum

Busied myself this lunchtime by buying a refill of folic acid, just a reminder to anyone who has forgotten.

chookford · 14/09/2012 08:24

oooh Weechops that sounds delicious may I take some?! I have ordered some opks so hopefully they should be here in a few days ... I fear I am going to join you in being addicted to poas but hey ho, at least I am not alone! Grin

weechops · 13/09/2012 22:11

Taking no it's not toffee :) it's Scottish and I just assumed you could get it all over the uk oops. It's basically sugar, butter and condensed milk. Boiled and stirred for aaaaagggges it hardens and is so delicious. Bit like harder fudge. It's really really sweet so a little goes a long way :)

TakingTheStairs · 13/09/2012 21:34

weechops , what is a tray of tablet? (did you mean toffee and I'm being thick? Blush )
I think I might follow your lead and do some sneaky 2pm tests too. Oh dear, I can see me getting obsessed with this!

woo hoo almond, OPK ahoy!

wavesandsmiles I don't know about the diluting, but my DH has been having a berocca everyday for the zinc to help the swimmers.

Perdita Welcome to the bus! Hope you brought your appetite, there are plenty of cakes for the journey.

Me and DH are still in the "we've only been married 3 months" romantic (shagfest) phase, and have DTDd every day since (apart from when he had a business trip)......Stupid question, possibly, but does it "dilute" DHs swimmers if we DTD too often? He said I was daft to think that, but I am sure I read somewhere that it is better to not be at it everyday Blush If so, I'll definitely get some OPKs so we know which are the best days, but otherwise, I guess we'll just carry on. Never knew TTC could involve so many questions!

Glad the cupcakes are going down well - there are plenty more! The rock cakes are super yummy so I may leave my cupcakes and tuck into another of those - thanks rocks

weechops · 13/09/2012 20:10

I don't like cakes, but i do make a mean tray of tablet! Anyone care for some?

Cd9 today and looking forward to getting that smiley face next week! I confess I'm a poas addict so I do them first thing in the morning, then from day 12 round about 2pm too. Dont tell dh though :)

PerditaMcLeod · 13/09/2012 19:57

Hello!
May I climb aboard? DP and I now ttc! Am 39 with 1dd (9). Forgive me if I'm not up to speed with the terminology, but hoping for BFP on 7 October (ish)

AlmondFrangipani · 13/09/2012 18:43

All this cake talk is making me hungry! I am still trying to shift a few post pg pounds Hmm. Seems to be happening very slowly but I am not trying that hard either...pass a cupcake!

Saturday will be CD6 so arming myself with OPK's! Have warned DH of the impending shagfest coming. He sounds quite keen luckily Wink and suggested we do it every day Shock! I dont think I have the stamina for that....! We will see...!

Taking the stairs FMU is recommended for pregnancy tests, but not OPKs. I've read in quite a few places that 2pm is the ideal time for OPKs.

Sorry to hear that addicted.
