Trying to conceive thread .....4

Hi guys. I started TTC this weekend. I have one DS 13mths who took 21mths to conceive. My DH is only usually at home with us 3 nights per week so the odds are a bit against us, but I am trying to stay positive. Temp charting doesn't seem to work with my and so I am usuing a Mabybe Baby OPK. I thought I would be OVing this weekend based on length of cycle and pattern before DS, but looks like it might be more likely in a few days. I am still BFing 3 times per day and AF only came back when DS was 10mths so hope this doesn't count against me. Good Luck everyone.

Mum2Ela, I'm not the best of people on this thread to give advice, perhaps Bunny or Quackers will be on soon, however, i do think that it is very unfair and i know how it feels to be doing everything you can and not getting BFP when everyone aroudn you is!! (without apparently even trying).
Keep smiling! If it's meant, it will happen - that's my philosophy at this stage in the TTC game. Would send baby dust to you, but not quite sure if i've got any to send, ho ho!!

Good afternoon everyone, DPO 7-8 today. Bunny i wanted to ask you something, when you first started on the clomid did they take blood CD20-21 to check the dosage was okay? Can they spot BFP or BFN when they do this too?

BTW, AF feelings have completely gone today!! They lasted from DPO4-6. With slight spotting on day 4 and 6 (nothing Day 5).

CANT STAND THE WAITING....i am not going to be disappointed if i get BFN! I will smile and welcome new cycle with open arms...NOT!

Crossfingers - congratulations! Who are you? Tell us!

Bunny2 - don't know how late I am cos my periods are sooo irregular - but 3 tests have told me I am not PG.

I friend I talked about below is pregnant. She is in shock I think - I don't know what she will do. I am going to get her to sprinkle baby dust over my way! It would be really nice if I did get Pg in the next couple of months as I think she would feel better having someone to go through the experience with, though if she doesn't keep it () then it will be harder again.

I just don't get it - me and DH have had sex every day this month - and I am not PG. My friend took precautions (condom split) and then the MAP and she is still PG. Is there anyone else who doesn't think this is fair?!

Congratulations to you Crossfingers! Send some baby dust our way!

Hi again.

This is now day 7 that I have been temping and the temperatures are all over the place still. I have been putting my data on Fertility Friend and the graphs looks like the Rocky Mountains! Have read and re-read the instructions on both the the temperature kit and on Fertility Friend and I seem to be doing it correctly.

Any advice? Am considering giving up on it as I am starting to obsess about it - and another thing to obsess about isn't good.

Hi everyone - finally got round to doing the second test about a day after period due and it was definitely positive - also confirmed by feelings of nausea and extreme tiredness. So First Response lived up to its claim - tested positive 3 days before my period was due. Good luck to everyone - I guess I'll be outing myself on the pregnancy threads soon...

That link is great Bunny, the questions section on FF is the best! I do hope there are some announcements soon!!!
ChaCha, we're all rooting for you, hope you found Bunny's link useful!!! You're nearly there!

hi everyone,

DPO 6-7. Second sighting of very slight spotting. Would have missed it if i hadnt been looking for any changes. Still quite crampy, tired and VERY irritable...

Finding it hard being at home waiting..

HI everyone.

Well, about day 46 for me today - where has my AF gone?

My best friend came over for dinner last night and said she may be PG - she would be so unlucky as she took the morning after pill last month and again at the beginning of this month (!), but she is now late and 'feels' pregnant. I hope she isn't for her sake - she isn't in a long term relationship, still lives at home etc. I think she would find it hard. It would be such her bad luck to be just sooo fertile when you consider that her mum tried for 4 years for her and then thought she was pregnant again at 40, but it was the menopause. My friend is testing later today . .

Good luck bluestar...guess you'll be having a buzy weekend!!

Well had a temp dip yesterday and this morning the OPK showed a surge line, the first time I have actually got this line and not run out of tests before it showed. BD last night and now being nice to DH to ensure more action this evening!! Looks like I will have a shorter cycle this month rather than last month's 40 thankfully, hate all this waiting around.

Thanks for the link Bunny!

just having a lovely glass of white over here.....mmmmm...now if dd would go to sleep I could have a second.....

thanks bunny - that was getting a bit long with too few announcements from other people and none from us !

Hello bunny and Kay!

Another friend of ours has announced she's pregnant, so I've been on the wine again. Hope I haven't been drinking on my own bunny, I'm relying on you (dh is out tonight).

Hi Bunny, well done for starting new thread. Sorry it didn't work out for you this month, but good luck with the temping - i'm on my second month and i like having the extra info. I've found the Fertility friend site very helpful at interpreting the results ...

Ermentrude - i think it doesn't matter how high/low your actual temps are as everyone is different, but it seems to be the patterns and temp shifts that are important - once you've input all your info, you'll get a graph and the computer analysis of what's going on.

I'm now on day 20 and counting................
