New year, new thread, fresh start and a brand spanking new injection of a hot new batch of posifrickenity! This is the year where our wombs will be comfy and our babies plentiful! TTC after MC.

I'm with you on the not poas before 14dpo sal as tempting as it is!!
Baked beans are fave of mine.... can't beat beans on toast! Yummy!!

I'm so trying this moon cup thing for ttc. It's about the only thing in project desperate I haven't tried (along with then syringe method) and I can't always lie down for ages after sex so here goes! Idea used to gross me out but I'm learning to man up now --still can't check cervix position though as still too grossed out by it.

sal POAS tomorrow not Monday!!

parsley hope the witch is a no show and I'm with you on the hope / hopeless feeling each month. We can't help but hope but at the same time feel so hopeless, not helped by the raging hormones of either pregnancy or impending period.

Thursdays are my Fridays... Too early for wine?

eewww but lol at crunchy knickers

sal I second the permission to poas on Monday

parsley fx for you. No matter how much we tell ourselves not to get our hopes up we all do. I waited for 79 days for af to show post mc and was convinced twice during that time I was pg -wrong! Then again I convinced myself cycle 1 after was the one-wrong again and I was gutted. Cycle 2 and positive opk today (the joys of poas in loos at work) so dtd tonight and tomorrow and prob sat (dhs birthday). Already done 3 days in a row as opks haven't generally worked for me so will need to find some enthusiasm from somewhere

Parsley - I had nightsweats when I had my bfp last month. Your not out until the bitch witch arrives. Hope she doesnt!

Sal please test tomorrow! Sounds promising!

Does anyone else get post ov mood dips? I'm really stressed at work and today have ended up coming home as I just sat and wept over the smallest things. It feels hormonal and it would be good to know that I'm not just going quietly mad.

Parsley - Same here, no signs of ovulation or pms, told myself no testing for bfp until late for 2 AF, now thinking about poas tomorrow just for some kind of information secretly hoping for a surprise highly fertile bfp straight away

oh sal - how exciting !! sounds very promising. fx crossed for you and that this time its a sticky bean. If you are already 10 dpo - i say break the rules and test tomorrow. I will be checking up tomorrow.

Sorry, x-post. Of course you hope parsley, it's impossible not to every time. Don't rule yourself out yet, but maybe think of something fun and distracting to do if af arrives, even if that's free rein for a glass or 5 of wine. I'm scrapping dry Jan this weekend in honour of friends staying and af arriving.

Argh! Crunchy knickers! I just lie there for 20 mins (usually taking it as an opportunity to make dh get me stuff 'I can't get my book/phone/tea, the sperm will fall out!') with Dh's boxers wedged there then clean up. Or just fall asleep.

Sal I want you to poas tomorrow! How can you bear not to?! We watched finding mum and dad last night too, was so sad. I hope they were flooded with people wanting to adopt those boys. We were saying that if you didn't know the foster carer and 2 boys' situation, you'd just think 'what a lovely family, with two sweet boys.'

I've heard of this mooncup thing but I always wondered if it might not be a perfect bacteria harbourer?

Sal I give you permission to POAS!! Most definitely.

Feeling super glum today. CD27 and AF due this weekend. CM has increased, generally feeling grumpy/weepy all the time, night sweats and spots popping up, so I've basically convinced myself it's game over. I have a feeling I am going to be more crushed than I'm anticipating when the witch lands this time. First full ttc cycle post MC, so I know it's unreasonable to expect immediate pg (esp given how long it took to get that BFP) but you can't help but hope can you?

I've heard of the moon cup thingies but have never thought of using them to keep swimmers in/knickers dry. The things you learn!

Knickers may become crunchy if placed straight in the dryer....

Oh ffs, drier not dryer! Although a dryer might help also...

Oh so it is actually a thing!! hahaha! I'm intrigued!! But not quite prepared for that....YET!

JBrd No idea, it's not something I'm going to try! I think it's just a mooncup - the same as people use during AF. I really don't see how it could help much with conception, though it may keep your knickers dryer if you have to get up and walk about straight after sex...

about the cup thing.. So you put it in after dtd?! For how long?

Haha, EnglishGirlAbroad, that is indeed something that you can buy! A mooncup type thing that hold the swimmers in place. I've yet to be convinced give it a couple more months of no BFP

Thanks otter... I had vision of... Wait for - a small cup type contraption we would inserts after dtd to stop swimmers coming out! bows head in shame Haha!

Wing You are my new anti-Facebook hero. I'm seriously coming off it for a bit, it's getting complicated now. Not only do you have to block the pregnant fertile bitches, you have to block their partners and friends of friends and and and. It's exhausting!

EnglishGirlAbroad The 'cup' isn't your usual cuppa cup! It's a wee sterile pot given to you by the hospital/GP. Although someone PLEASE rock up to the hospital with your DP's swimmers in his 'Number 1 Son' coffee mug, that would be priceless

CD 12 for me today so another shag day (And I so can't be bothered!). No sign of ov either so may be at this for a while.... And, TMI ALERT, having examined the knicks this morning with your helpful info in mind I ascertained that I don't yet have any ewcm, it's just leftover swimmer juice I think the romance in my relationship is well and truly over

Midway through the shagathon here and I just want a night off! Yesterday DH asked me out of the blue what supplements he should be taking. Bless him! He's going to pick some up when he gets paid.

I've deactivated my Facebook account as I was finding it hard to cope with all the pregnancy announcements and new borns. I've found it very libertating. Infact I may never go back, I suddenly seem to have more time to get stuff done!

Excuse my ignorance ladies... But what is this 'cup' I've seen a ffew of you mention!! Sounds ... errmm... interesting!

They don't even have special wanking rooms at the hospital.. How could they not?! Would make interesting singage anyway and a good visual would help those who couldn't read :)

My husband said it was pretty weird as he just had to go and do it in the loo. Imagine if ladies had to do the same thing... I would be in there all week, not exactly a turn on is it?! But no, instead we get dates wth a willycam and have to walk round in squelchy pants every day during fertile period as we wouldn't want to wash those swimmers away would we? I'm so trying one of those soft cups. Got to be a less messy way of ttc!
