Second day of af and keep checking the boards but don't feel like I fit in anywhere at the moment or have anything to say with two weeks till I ovulate! Anyone else in the same boat?? Really hope this is our month even though it's only our 2nd ttc. Going to get conception vits for me and other half and also try an ovulation pack so looking forward to getting to grip with those.

Hi ladies re my ovulation questions yesterday I read the info sheet in the pack and it said that the permanent smiley would last for 2 days constantly and that I shouldn't test after that time. I am cd14 today we have dtd on cd8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and planning on dtd tonight as well. Not sure whether to keep dtd everyday till the end of the week or after tonight dtd every other day. Oh this ovulation malarkey is so tricky!! Lol anyways I think we have/will deffo have done our best this month to catch the magic bean!! I don't think we have dvd had so much sex the last few months!! Lol

Thanks linda, good luck!

sebsmummy1 · 12/03/2014 08:32

So I think I'm on 1dpo now. My cbfm gave me a second peak reading today, but my first peak opk was Monday night at 5pm, then cbfm picked up the surge the following morning at 7am, today's cbfm stick showed the surge as over.

I guess the egg could still be bobbing about so shall try and DTD tonight too. OH and I had a bit if a falling out last nightie so not sure how successful any advances from me will be.

Vicky I'm jealous, only on cd6 here, can't wait for the 2ww Smile

lindamagoo · 12/03/2014 07:33

Chair it's meant to help with cm, I'm going to try it and see if it works, fingers crossed anyway x

Vicky5910 · 12/03/2014 07:27

How we feeling ladies? Cd 16 here, I had to go to bed at 8pm last night and still tired this morning! Zzzzz....

ChaircatMiaow · 12/03/2014 02:09

Can I ask a silly question? What is the cough medicine for?Confused

bellaboo88 · 11/03/2014 22:23

Thanks girls, glad you're not judging me...some think I'm stupid for slacking off lol!

I thought it would be easy. I did cough meds but I can't say it worked for me as I get good cm/ewcm anyways. Will probs give opks a go but surely ewcm is as good of a signal? Im excited for sexy time, not DTD time! Xx

Rose768 · 11/03/2014 21:05

Hi ladies,

Just thought I would check in, nothing to report here though. Know what you mean bella about being stressed about things. It feels like forever even though it's only been a couple of months! We're always here if you need to offload!

RPopz · 11/03/2014 19:59

To be fair thats pretty much what we're doing... I've taken charge of the dtd-ing!

katecupoftea · 11/03/2014 19:54

Cd12 today. Ic OPKs have NO second line. Nothing. It should be a faint line, surely? Last month I was getting lines at this time.

lindamagoo · 11/03/2014 19:37

RPopz this is our first month ttc again and I'm already obsessed, my oh just leaves me to it and does what he's told when it's dtd time, he's a wee gem Smile

RPopz · 11/03/2014 19:30

Know what you meanlinda!!! We were "not trying but not not trying" for the first month.... That went out of the window straight after my first AF!!! I'm no good at casual, chilled out...

lindamagoo · 11/03/2014 19:20

We had planned on no opk's, no timed dtd, no early testing and no stress and so far I've ordered tests, opk's and going to buy Robitussin tomorrow, lol... Don't know who I was trying to kid with the taking it easy approach...

RPopz · 11/03/2014 19:12

Not crazy at all bellaboo that's how I wanted to do it as well... casual... not opks etc! It is stressful though, I think about it all the time too. Trying not to symptom spot and have military timed sex but its difficult not to! Not ventured in opks or anything yet.

Stats: ttc #1, cycle 6 (though only really started right at the end of Sept, so maybe cycle 5 and a half lol) AF/ BFP due 2nd April

bellaboo88 · 11/03/2014 17:54

Can I check in please ladies?

I'm due AF 9th April, stats 'bellaboo88 ttc#1 month 4 (but not trying nor avoiding)'

I had a pill free cycle where we didn't try but no contraception either before 2 cycles, now having a 2cycle break as I'd prefer not to have a Xmas baby...but were not not trying either.

No notes, symptom spotting, military planning etc, only sexy time for fun. If it happens it happens. That's why stats are AF.

Sorry if you think I'm crazy!! To say I've only had 2 cycles, I'm completely stressed out by it. Don't fancy a Xmas baby as its a family running joke! Switching from 7seas trying for a baby vits to plain folic acid & normal zinc...see if this affects cycle length?!

Will be actively smep/opk/nudp etc from May bus :-) xx

littlemisswine · 11/03/2014 17:38

emily are you using the digital ovulation tests or the fertility monitor?

I cant decide whether to try them

lindamagoo · 11/03/2014 17:07

Maybe use the clear blue the next couple of days then, if your on a 28/29 day cycle this month the test is probably right, I usually get a +opk around cd13/14 if I get a 28 day cycle. Good luck to you

Hi Linda I've tracked my period for about 4 years and it's ranged from 26-32 however most recently it's been 28, 29 or 30. Thank you

Emily how long are your cycles usually?

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 11/03/2014 14:37

Hi ladies I was so excited this morning got a permanent smiley on my clear blue!! I'm cd13 today :)
Wasn't sure I would get a permanent smiley as have seen many women say they don't. Also didn't think there would be enough hormone as I got up for a wee twice last night and neither time was i awake enough to piac for the morning test lol I'm a bit confused do I test again tomorrow morning as it says I should get 2 days of peak and then stop testing after that or should I keep testing till I get a blank circle and no longer have the hormone?? Also a little confused as as per my period tracker app I shouldn't be ovulating till Saturday?! I'm not sure I can dtd everyday till then. We are already on number 4 this cycle! Lol

It could be IB Drewswife, fingers crossed anyway Smile

DrewsWife · 11/03/2014 08:57

I'm due AF on the 18th. I'm not holding out hope as I'm convinced I have lifted waaaay too many heavy boxes. Worked 76 hours in 6 days and just done in. Going to spend today in bed. Hmm

Been having light pink bleeding when I wipe and quite a bit of mucous. Sorry for tmi... Confused So not sure what's happening. I think I will need to be trying in April.
