Moving on to May...Lets get start acting like Spring rabbits for BFPs in May.

Blue I started my opk's on cd 10, glad I did cause I got my positive on cd 11

Oh broody I hope your cycles settle down now. So frustrating when they are so long

Hi girls! Ive been away hiding until it was time to start cb digi opks!
First one this morning but it was a dud so saving up pee so I can try again. Not sure when I'll ovulate but hoping it will be in the next week :)

Least you know you are ovulating just annoying that cycle was so long.

My doctor said it didnt look like I was ovulating but ive had quite regular cycles (28-31 days) there was only one hiccup where I had pretty much constant AF for a month grrr but that was last year.

Hi blueberry I think I didn't ov in feb/march which is why the crazy long cycle but then ov 16days ago (pain ewcm and pos opk).. and AF finally arrived on time today

Morning Ladies,

When shall I start with my opks (First month trying them).

I had ovulation pains last month so im pretty sure I know when im ovulating but I want to make sure.

Welcome Broody 76 days ouch thats a long cycle do you know if you ovulated and when?

Linda I get that around ovulation not sure if its different for everyone.

Back to work today argh had a nice weekend of relaxing.

Trying to be positive this month come on BFP !!!

Hello can I join? I've been hanging onto march & april bus as I've just had a 76 day cycle. Very strange. But AF is here so if I go back to a 33day I think I'll be due 25th May. Broodysnoopstie ttc #1 cycle 9 bfp due 25th

Ok so I've just been to the loo and a clump of whitish stuff came out of me? What's going on? Arghhhhhhh!

sorry you feel down nordic. yep im deff gonna ov soon. started getting pains on right side. although im worried as the right side is the side thats messed up the past 2 months. good luck to the teachers going back today

I really hope that i'm close to ovulating now...some ewcm and cervix is pretty high so with a bit of luck I might actually get a positive opk soon! FX!!

Sorry you're feeling down nordic. Is it worth going to see your gp, see if he can run some tests. I know you've probably been down that route when ttc your other dc, but it might shed some light on things.

I'm off to the gym to try to shed some chocolate weight! Feel so fat and lethargic!!

I'm not sure what's going on with my body just now, had quite bad tummy and back cramps since last night Hope it's not late ovulation coz oh is on night shift this week so we can't dtd again but maybe it's implantation? You never know

Aw Nordic I hope you are ok

Nordic, I can't imagine going what you've been through, hugs to you

Hibou....I posted yesterday with the same problem, there's a few of us around. It is so hard dtd on demand and it does get frustrating

I'm under 35 so will wait longer, but no more ttc after this month anyways, I guess I could go when we start again in oct/nov time and see what they say. I'll mention it to oh, see if it makes him think!

I have been off contraception for a year now so doctor was very reassuring and he was telling me what next steps are. I'm 38 and a lot of things I've read say to go the doctor after 6 months of trying - but I kept on thinking next cycle...next cycle. If you are age 35 or lessI think I is a year before they advise to go to gp.
You could probably go before though.

According to NHS website "If you've tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for a year or more through regular unprotected sex, it’s time to see your GP. If you're a woman over 35, or if you think that either partner may have a fertility problem, see your GP after six months of trying."

nordicmom flowers for you.

Thanks ladies, do you have to be ttc for a certain length of time before they'll check the swimmers?

Dp / dh - same person. I do not have two!

Hibou , sorry for your trouble with dh. Those hint drops are much like I did as my dh said at the start he did not want to know all the details. I'm much more blunt now. And yes, I've spent quite a lot of time in tears when he's not performed. Last week, I went to the doctors and he gave me a little cup to take away for dp to deposit his swimmers into andctake to the hospital. Dh has taken this personally and so has been much more willing and eager to perform and show his virility

Morning everyone!
Hibou I am sorry I cant offer any very helpful advice, but didnt want to read and run. I do understand what u mean about it being forced though. Me and DH are not ones for dtd all the time, so for us ttc has been a very conscious effort! Thats the only reason that this month im resorting to opks bcoz at least that might narrow down slightly the number of days we "have to" dtd. Its such an emotional process and especially because men deal with it differently its bound to put pressure on. But it did make me giggle when u said about getting his sperm checked, u never know it might work!
Sorry I cant be more help, but always feel free to vent on here and I hope u feel better soon x

I need someone to tell me if iabu please! Have already mentioned - maybe on this thread can't remember about not liking how dtd feels forced. Dp doesn't like it either... to make it feel less forced I drop hints, so for e.g. yesterday when I got flashing smiley and cramps I said 'today would be a good day...'.(this was in the morning). Then last night, we didn't dtd. I was so upset about it I cried.

He knows this is our last month ttc for financial reasons - don't want summer hols to fall in maternity. He promised earlier in the month that we'd try harder this month. We dtd sat night and sun morn and he got arsey saying sorry that isn't enough for you, I explained it is enough for me but I can't control when a bloody egg will be released. I said that ttc is all I think about and I care about it and he doesn't feel the same. He said he does, but I know if I don't get bfp this month I'm going to blame it on the fact we didn't dtd yesterday. Hmmph.. thanks for reading if you got this far. So fed up.

in August I'll have been off the pill for 12 months, I think he'd start taking it more seriously if I said he needs to c go n get his sperm looked at.

cd 10 Solid Smiley I had two days of blank circles And only dtd sun night as dh was to tired last night and as hes already at work I wont be able to attack him till I finish at 9 tonight. omg im so excited after the past 2 months of pain at ov time I have nothing so far

Hopping on the bus but don't know if we'll try this month . Not sure what happened last cycle .Started bleeding 4 d early after getting a few tests with faint colour . Still incredibly nauseous and depressed so might need a break. Looked into the Ivf clinic we used last time and english surrogacy . This all seems pretty impossible atm. Dh is convinced its not going to work out for us with my eggs and his sperm anymore now I'm older when last time we were told our chances were about 15% per Ivf cycle but second time lucky . Am scared to go have tests and a scan although seem to ov regularly still ... My head's a damn mess .

Ahem... I thought I'd book myself...
