I'm weaning you guys off the gin, it's not good for the eggies! Instead we have some of Sparkly's green gunk! Wink

Happy shagging/syringing! Grin

We dtd twice on the day before my positive, we were celebrating having an empty houseGrin

Hi sparkly. I'm not quite sure about my cycles, as the first one off implant I got my BFP. I think I tested at 14 dpo.
And then I had my mmc and it was about 5 weeks before the next af.
I'm thinking they're about 30/32 days so maybe its still too early. Trying not to get my hopes up though.

How goes your ai? I've been skim reading threads, but its hard to keep up. I cant have my phone on me in the new job. Shock! They actually want us to do work. Haha

Sparkly123 · 04/03/2015 19:49

mummy if I were you I would start from CD 8/9. You want to make sure your shortest cycle would be covered too. Are you doing the CB trial? Couldn't remember if you are or not.

Hi mrsb how long are your cycles normally? I would say it's too early for testing.

Spinning thanks! I may be getting you confused with someone else on here who was dtd twice a day etc!! I always think the more the better?! Isn't that what people do when TTC? Have lots of sex!! Ha. Luck yes.. Where is it?! I read recently some quote somewhere which basically said to stop "wishing" and "hoping".. And have faith.. So I'm doing that this cycle!! (So far..! )
Oh granola bars sound good! I need to get making all these goodies!!

spinningirl10 · 04/03/2015 19:29

Oh and sparkly I've made granola bars today with seeds and dates, no sugar. They're really tastySmile

spinningirl10 · 04/03/2015 19:27

Sparkly we don't manage anywhere near as much as you! We did the 2 days before I got a positive opk, missed that day because of performance issues and did the next 2 days. That's good for us! Won't be any tonight as dp is working. I think that if your dh's sperm are good then there's no problem with everyday and that's what I would do if dp was up for it. You usually do smep dont you? I actually think it's all down to luck and it's about bloody time we got our luckGrin

mrsb0710 · 04/03/2015 19:22

Hi ladies. Any advice/guidance you can give would be much appreciated.

#TTC 1 #29 yrs old #cycle 2 after mmc @ Xmas

I had a pos OPK on CD 17, now am on CD 28. Did a FRER last night, bfn. Did a chemist own brand this morning and neg.

Don't really have my usual pms symtoms of lower back ache and wanting to kill someone.
Have had mild cramping on and off and a few spots of pink blood Monday.

What do you think? Still in with a chance? Id be about 11/12 dpo.

juneybean · 04/03/2015 19:21

Sorry meant to add does the leaflet give recommended start dates for the days, is day 10 or 11 for 27 days

juneybean · 04/03/2015 19:20

I'd follow your shortest one so 27 days

mummyofonesofar · 04/03/2015 19:16

Can I have some help please. Will be using my CB dial hormone opk this month and I have no idea when to start. It says if you had erratic cycles then to go by your last one but I really don't feel like last cycle will every happen again. Here are my cycles:
When does anyone who uses these think I should start using them?

Sparkly123 · 04/03/2015 19:06

Spinning me too. Love coconut milk! What's your take on dtd without gaps in between? You tend to go for it don't you? We have done 7 days in a row now. Confused

CoffeeTwo · 04/03/2015 19:00

Evening all!

Boris when we started actively ttc March would have been my due date too. It's sobering being here without even a bfp isn't it. But I'm hopeful for all of us.

Purdey caramel chew chew is my favourite toooo! Yum.

We're also having bbq pulled pork wraps for tea. Got a flashing smiley this morning so we'll need our energy Grin

tessiegirl · 04/03/2015 18:51

I'm just shoving frozen cordon bleus and chips in the oven now...I refuse to feel guilty that they are not very healthy as we have been so good at eating well lately and deserve a not so good night. We will have it with spinach and broccoli so that kind of makes up for the naughtiness! Hmm I'm going to bloody well enjoy it!

spinningirl10 · 04/03/2015 18:42

Ooh there's some yummy dinners tonight Grin
Who was having homemade baked beans, sorry I forgot who but are they Ella's recipe?

Sparkly, I use coconut milk in the curry, it's gorgeous.

Genni, no they didn't say where in my cycle I should be for the scan. I will mention it before hand though.

Sammy, sorry you're feeling down, I always feel better when af buggers off and you can start again.

Heir, pleased you had a good holiday. And plenty of sex, hope it brings your bfp.

Choccy had such a terrible time. I really hope she gets her baby soon. I'm sure she'll pop in and tell us if she has good news.

  • Sorry - or is it just the boiled ones you don't like?
tessiegirl · 04/03/2015 18:36

Egypt sounds lovely Heir, I went to Egypt for a day once! Hard to believe, I know!

I thought you like eggs Purdey or is it just the boiled ones? Your lamb and sausage stew sounds very nice!!

cremedecacao · 04/03/2015 18:33

Purdey, no?! Enlighten me!

victoria401 · 04/03/2015 18:18

Hi girls! Just been catching up but not participating. Only dtd once this entire cycle on 2dpo. At least I know I can't be preg so not symptom spotting and its relaxing :-D not had a month off since month of hsg in Sept.

I joined mama31's thread a year ago now when I started tests too. The thread is still going, although I have started the last 2 of them, and mama only pops her head in occasionaly to congratulate or comiserate a long timer. I think she's on a long waiting list for ivf.

Sorry plan C turned out to be a dick June fingers crossed you find a genuine donor soon x

Southy84 · 04/03/2015 18:16

I just wrote a long message and my damn phone lost it ahhhh it's been one of those days- going to go and have a cry/paddy in a corner Angry think AF is round the corner, get this rage just before Its due....

Totally get what you mean sammy, I'm so trying to be positive but I'm fed up of being positive, I actually debated looking for jobs in a fertility clinic today as I will probably be living in one the next few years (or that how it feels), purdey is right though it's the hormones, we can do this we will ALL get the BFPs we deserve, big hug Flowers

Sparkly123 · 04/03/2015 18:07

Argh too late Purds he's away upstairs now!!!

loopylou1984 · 04/03/2015 18:05

Thank you Sparkly - I must be feeling better, your lovely lovely post didn't make me cry Smile

I know Purdey, I was set off by a Facebook pregnancy announcement and once I started it was impossible to stop. I know it does me no good though, and you're right, I really need to stop getting like that.

I'm trying to be pro active and research the local fertility clinic. Pleasantly surprised to find the waiting list is only 4 weeks for nhs... Although to can't find anywhere how long you have to have been trying to get referred! X

PurdeyBirdie · 04/03/2015 18:03

Creme, have you seen our...erm...gallery of cervixes (cervii? Cerviculays?)

cremedecacao · 04/03/2015 18:01

Thanks for the commiserations about my cup of tea guys!

I was scrutinising it in different lights and at different angles (of course) and it slipped out of my hands and into my mug! Stopped me staring at it though ;)

Feeling, ahem, damp today and cervix seems a bit higher. Certainly not feeling like AF is imminent, so not out of the game yet!

Sammy don't be sad. Chilli con carne sounds like a winner! Mexican Dirty Rice here :)

PurdeyBirdie · 04/03/2015 18:01

I'm sorry for all the lavatorial humour. Can't think what's come over me (fnar).

MaMa, I also think your work sounds fascinating. You must be an absolute brainbox. Were you born in Oz? How are the soy isoflavones going?

Nomio230 · 04/03/2015 18:01

I will be doing later, purds!

heir, I am very jealous. It sounds like you had an amazing time & may well have come back with a special souvenir!
