Who wants to buddy up?!

Welcome back newbie honeymoon sounds fabulous :)

I bought some cheapy amazon tests today, so I won't feel so bad about poas when I'm sure it's bad news this month.

Welcome back newbie congrats on the wedding and hope the honeymoon was fabulous. So when is AF due? When are you thinking of POAS?

Hey newbie welcome back - how was the wedding?
Spill the beans, where was honeymoon? So jealous...
I'm now officially in second tww so fx

Hey ladies
Wow this post has been busy! I am now back from honeymoon. We were originally planning to start trying to conceive after our honeymoon. But after 5 years of sensibly waiting we lost patience in the last two weeks and went for it!! Not ideal at all as I was drinking, scuba diving and on anti malarials which your aren't meant to be pregnant on. Now I am in a really weird position of desperately hoping I am pregnant ( even though I know it's unlikely in first cycle) and also hoping not because of the extra risks.

Well seems like we've all made the most of this cycle! Lets hope it pays off an we have lots an lots of bfps in a couple of weeks!!

Its lovely sparkles! Oooo dtd lots, fx for u :)

Ooooh, I too have been on the pear cider, great minds....
Managed to dtd 12 x2, 13, 14 & 15 so far. Planning on daily til cd 18

Thanks Issie, its been a lovely sunny day here so the pear cider has gone down a treat!

We shall see how it goes Brooke I will try. Think I will count it as if I ov'd on Thursday (day after smiley face). So yesterday DPO1, today DPO2. Expecting (hoping it won't come) AF on the 22nd, which would be 14 days after ov. So if no AF by then that will be a very positive sign.

violet i have a good feeling you'll get ur BFP this time. Thats a lot of dtd lol wish i could do it that much! I'm not holding out much hope considering we dtd twice!!

violet you've had a really good run of it too this month! I'm not sure about dpo, I got smiley on Thursday but my dates say I should have ov today and my cycle is really regular so I'm counting today as ov day. AF due 23rd and like you and brooke I'm going to hold out until it's (hopefully) late so probably test about 24th.

sarah enjoy the pear cider, it's definitely allowed at this stage

I'm counting the day after smiley, although I'm not too sure either Violet good for you if you hold out until cd35, I don't think I can do it!

Issie - I'm going to try to hold out to CD35 which will be Tuesday 26th May, but I don't know if I will make it that long!!(or will even have the opportunity as AF may have come). We dtd cd8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, & 17. Today is CD18 (our day off), and we will do our "one for luck" go tomorrow CD19. OH is definitely tired of it now, so I really hope its work

I will be in my tww now too, but not sure when it started/what DPO I am? Solid smiley was on Wednesday (CD15). So when do you start counting DPO, is it the day after the solid smiley or the day after that??

Sarah yeah that whole being relaxed thing never worked for me either!!

brooke issie i'm going to test some time after the 18th...dont really want to test on the 18th incase i get a BFN

I dont think i'll get a BFP and currently having a small can of pear cider! (Pretty sure its allowed this early even if i do get one!)

Wow Issie, good run of days there! We tried to have a few days dtd but Dh complained that he was sore I felt so bad going to try and relax a little more next cycle.

I've decided I'm testing no earlier than may 19th when Af is due, as tested so early last cycle and just felt fed up, going to actually wait for Af to be late this time.

I'll be testing in 2 weeks, think today is ov day for me and have dtd cd8,12,14,15,16,17 and tomorrow will be cd18. Really going for it this month! Officially in my tww from tomorrow. Who else is now in tww?

Thanks Issie I think il feel better next cycle, when I can actually work out for myself if I have ov'd by temping ;)

Anybody due to test soon?

Oh brooke you sound so stressed hun In all likelihood you are ovulating but I totally understand the stressing out. Just offering some hand-holding

It sure is! I only came off the pill the end of Feb so this is our first month actually trying but i dont know if/when i ovulated. I'm going to try temping too, we can try it out together! (assuming we dont get BFPs soon).

My whole "i'm going to try and be relaxed" thing is going terrible, i'm actually panicking every time i go to the toilet because i really dont want AF to come

I was thinking earlier how ironic it is...me and dh have probably spent a good 2-3 years of our relationship trying NOT to get pregnant and now we want to, it doesn't want to happen! I'm.not going to completely count this cycle out, but I havnt got high hopes as I don't think iv ov'd. Looking forward to next cycle where I'm giving temping a go, at least I'll know my body is ovulating then.

Tell me about it brooke! I have no idea what i'm doing, going to just keep DTD and hope for the best

Keeping everything crossed I'm "normal" Sarah ttc is such a hard and confusing time :(

brooke i've read before that after conception some women continue to get EWCM until AF would be due. Fx this is why ur still getting it!

Spoke to soon, had some Ewcm this afternoon :( what on earth is my body playing at.

Morning everyone :) I've never been so happy NOT to see Ewcm this morning hoping that means that I have ov'd this month :) I purchased a bbt yesterday so I can temp next cycle, I'll know for definite if I've ov'd then and won't have to stress so much.

Lots of us testing around the same time then :) exciting :)
