Pregoween is approaching! Time to grow our beans into Pumpkins - all aboard for spooky bfps!

Proof, sorry af arrived so awfully, hope you're feeling better soon

Treacle, keeping fx for you

MrsE, pleased dh has seen sense. Hope he hasn't taken a dunkin in the pond!

Wantobe, I was rooting around in the bottom of my bag earlier and found a used ov test it really is revolting, goodness knows why I didn't throw it away!

ohlordy lovely temp rise . It took me ages to figure out the link between my increased libido and the pill. I was so happy and relieved when I did because for years I've enjoyed DTD but not really enjoyed it, IYSWIM Now I don't ever want to go back on the pill!!

Sorry AF got you proof, here's hoping November is a good month!

I'm out for Pregtober - AF has got me.

I started having cramps around lunchtime and took some ibuprofen. A couple of hours later they were getting worse. I suddenly felt terrible: hot, shakey, nauseous, dizzy, and all the colour drained from my face. I had to ask a colleague to take me home, as DH had the car and couldn't come to fetch me. I'm back home now, in bed, and feeling a bit better. It's all very strange; I never usually get ill and definitely not bad enough to go home early. I can only assume that it was particularly vicious cramping and my body couldn't cope with it.

Best of luck to you all - I hope to see none of you on the November bus! On to cycle 2...

Ordered some opks from Amazon, I figure if I get a bfp this weekend then I won't care about a wasted fiver, however if Af does arrive at least I am hopefully softening the blow by preparing for next month!

mrse glad he's grovelling, my dh can make very wierd money decisions too.

Glad he's realised he was out of order MrsE!

2 or 4 dpo today. 8 more days til af will be here my bfp :)

He's come in grovelling, thank goodness. But if I see him near that pond today I may not be able to resist pushing him in! Bloody men!

Been googling the mw I think I'm going to have she includes ante and post natal massage in the price.

Ohlordy temp rise is good. Fx it stays up.

MrsE, sorry to hear you're still getting the pain and grrrr to your dh. I'm sure he'll come round but he should be fully supporting you after your previous experience.

Ohlordy haha We've always been quite active but after depo im definitely more into it lol

spinning Yes we miss dtd during AF as soon as shes buggered off we make the most of it lol

MrsE sorry to see your having such a stressful time, my dp is the same with money hes quite happy to spend it on tv's etc but when its something important he'll drag his feet.
Have you tried relaxing exercises etc to de-stress and hopefully help with the anxiety.

Hi spinning I'm not really taking it easy. Its virtually impossible in this household. But my cleaner is in today so have been a lazy cow and just watched her cleaning while I pretend to be writing up important quotes on my laptop. Cramps come and go but they are quite acute. Just had an argument with dh over my care. Although he had agreed if we were successful ttc, I could have an independent mw. He's now begrudging the money. Yet he spent £500 on a new sound system at the wkd and £500 on his bloody pond so I think I'm justifiably angry. He won't win he never does. He's just being a child and I won't stand for it at all. Cause and effect is something my husband is lacking sadly. Wish he could see I'm absolutely terrified of ending up the way I did last time. I'm so terrified ive not yet been to my gp. I've not told anyone. It should be such a happy time. And I just feel so anxious.

Blueberry, you mean you miss dtd during af? We do, I know we could dtd at that time but we don't. Dp is usually raring to go after af. We only have problems over the fertile time as he feels the pressure. We usually dtd 3/4 times a week. I'd like 4/5 times really but I have a higher sex drive, having said that its always good so can't complain

Hahaha blueberry.

When I was on the pill I had zero libido but it's back now and we're making the most of it.

I think it's pretty important to try to dtd in tww so dtd doesn't just become about making a baby. It's easy to see why some dps can get stressed when they are just expected to petform during fertile week.

Am I the only one that misses DP during AF??

Katy we start just after AF and dtd most of the month.
Its quite often people stop dtd to early so definately worth carry on eod as long as you can just in case.

katy I get up before dp in the mornings, so in tww he has my 'permission' to ahem, see to himself if he feels inclined. We probs dtd once or twice anyway.

hi ladies. Frolic and sunbathing thank you for your kind words.

cd 18 here, peaked 16 and 17. did manage to dtd last night so that makes it
cd10,12,15 (high on cbfm), 17 (peak on cbfm). am going for tonight, then skip a night then last time wed night as well - lets see if we can manage it - got this tip from the SMEP so thought would try. am a little gutted we didn't manage cd16 as well but hey we are where we are.

want to be - that is the funniest story I have heard in a long run!!

ladies who have had ur bfp's - quick q for you. on the SMEP it says not to go more than 10 days without dtd to keep the swimmers fresh. did you guys stick to this? we usually stop entirely after the ovulation push as are to tired but would love some advice

Your chart looks brill ohlordy, mines all over the shop.

Afternoon Ladies,

Do I need to be pissed of with DP to get pg is that where im going wrong lol

Katy sorry your going through a lot TTC is mega stressful some days id quite happily just scream!!

Lucie good news from your scan

Flower lol at baps

Lucy if your definately 16dpo I would do a frer...is it possible you ovulated a few days later?

Ruby did you definately ovulate??

Spinning thats why I dont temp I wake up to often in the night and I know id never get a proper reading

Want lol how do you manage to lose a pg test and why did you keep in your bag anyway lol

beaker telling dp puts him off to I just tell him the week we need lots sex lol

terry Ive been trying to check my cervix but have not got the hang of it yet lol

Ohlordy fx the temps are a good sign!!

cd8 for me today so ill start opks in a couple of days (although I dont trust the positives anymore)...Fertile week according to ovia starts from Saturday and I have my scan on Tuesday so we will see. I'm mega nervous!!

Thanks treacle, I was a bit uncertain about my chart yesterday, but more optimistic now. Daren't get too excited yet though, still a long way to go.
Sorry for the bfn want, not out yet though. FX af not on the way mama.

Wow lordy that looks promising!!! :)

beaker, dd is 2.5yrs now. Crazy little lady, lots to say about everything, endless energy, very confident, headstrong, she tells us constantly "love mummy...love daddy....love all people!!", lots of kisses and cuddles for us. However, she is an appalling sleeper, always has been, still wakes four/five times a night. Drives me mad and I've been knackered for 2.5yrs but she would make such a wonderful big sister. One day, god willing, I'll be able to give her a sibling.

Oh dear want, sorry it was a bfn but thank you for the lunch time giggle.

Sorry af arrived Jessica good luck for November.

Ooh temp has risen this morning....dare I contemplate it staying high?
CHANTS triphasic, triphasic, triphasic.
Where have all of the BFPS gone? We must be due some soon!

DD is 22mo and a handful!

Oh bugger - brown cm just now. So I'll have a temp dip and AF will arrive tomorrow. . At least my cycles mean I should get 2 goes in November.
