Who wants to buddy up?!

Ooh not long now until you can POAS CuppaSarah. With my first pregnancy i didn't have any symptoms at all for ages so you just never know do you.

Nicky, Brooke and me ovulation buddies haha.

I'm apparently 7dpo but not convinced I am. I have one painful burny nipple right now, feels like I did when my breasts were a bit full of milk with dd. But my boobs do all sorts in the 2ww so no symptoms at all apart from a temp drop today which could be an implantation dip I suppose. My chart looks utterly crap this cycle though.

I tried to do the legs in the air stuff, but every time I'd just loose my husbands uh..deposit? So instead I just lay there for a bit.

I'm due to ovulate around same time soon. bring on the marathon dtd and laying still afterwards lol...

here's hoping for lots of BFP by end of month x

Ooh how exciting Issie. Fingers crossed for us both! And all the other lovely ladies too

Thanks, I'll try and do that then- how romantic and glamorous!! Lols.

Ooh Brooke that means we'd both be taking a hpt around the same time if we're ovulating about the same time. Fingers crossed for us both.

Issie-ive read that it's best to lie down for at least 15 mins afterwards, that's what I try to do. I don't do any of the legs in the air stuff, as that might completely out hubby off wanting to dtd with me lol Cd11 for me today, according to the app I downloaded and put my details in, I'm due to ovulate around the 7th, I did use opk this morning as I seem to be addicted to poas, which was negative, just thought I'd see though as I've had crampy pains the last couple of days.

Right I have a question for you all, does anyone know if you're supposed to stay lying down after dtd when trying to conceive? I've heard a lot about this but is there any truth in it? How long do you stay lying down? Thanks!

Started the dtd-marathon yesterday (due to ovulate around the 8th).

CuppaSarah when can you POAS? Any symptom spotting yet?

VioletIbiza88 I'm 26, DH 30 TTC no 1. Feel exactly the same. Worried my eggs are dodgy and theres no way it will happen. No reason to feel this way just fear of the unknown i think!

I use ones off eBay. 50 for 5.99 they're usually one step promartis. Last cycle they were fan, this cycle I've gotten lots of positives for seemingly no reason. So they may be a bit temperamental. I also took soyiso this month so that could be the cause. They're worth giving a go before the expensive clear blue ones I'd say.

Well I'm glad that these thoughts seem to be the norm then! Interesting to hear from people who have had babies already and still think this too!!

Lookingforadvice - this month were also going to just see what happens. Mainly because my partner is working away during the week this month, so we only have friday evening to monday mornings, which might make it awkward for timing things right, so no point doing opk's and finding out Im fertile at the wrong time. So will just do what we can and hope for the best. Next month I'm probably not going to be able to help getting some opks though, as im already impatient and want to increase our chances!

CuppaSarah - which opk's do you use, the clear blue ones sound good but quite expensive (depending on how long they need to be used for!).

violet you a and are similar age, I'm 27 and DH will be 32 in a couple of months. His age is one of the factors that's spurred me on actually because ideally we'd like 2 kids about 4 years apart!

We're going to just "see what happens" from now, totally natural no opks or anything. I can't see it happening soon, if ever so thought we might as well! I don't even think my body is back to normal after stopping the pill which was 7 months ago! So I'm anticipating a long wait...

Hi violet. I'm 25 and TTC number 2. I still can't imagine it'll ever happen for me though. Despite managing it before and all, I think it's pretty normal to feel that way about it all.

Hi violet. I'm 30 and ttc no2. Yes I know exactly what you mean, I can't imagine I'll ever get pregnant again, in fact I can't imagine that I ever have been pregnant (I definitely have, she's nearly 2).

Hi violetibiza88
I'm 32 and im ttc #3. and I still spend many an hour thinking it won't happen to me. again there's no reason it shouldn't happen. I had miscarriage first then 6 months on conceived baby #1 and then #2 took just 7 weeks to conceive so hoping #3 doesn't take to long xx

Hiya can I join you all! Just joined the site today. Me and my partner are going to be starting trying this month. Im 27 he's 32, what ages are you all? Also does anyone else whose trying for their first not believe it will ever actually happen. Objectively theres no reason why it wont happen for us, but just wondering if its normal to have these feelings? Good luck to you all xxx

It really is hard work!! I'm feeling rough so googling illness effect on bbt. I might go totally natural next cycle as I really CBA with the stress right now. Work is super stressful too right now, plus I handle lead a lot and am really paranoid about it effecting my chances TTC.

sorry to hear that fruitlovingmonkey. I think it's totally a personal thing to how an you feel and when your ready to try again and no one can tell you any different. I hope you enjoy and relax on your holiday and come back refreshed and good luck for when you do ttc again x

It takes me all my time to remember to delete the history. oh thinks I've turned into a baby making crazy lady lol

Issie-my Google history sounds like yours!
Sorry to hear about your mc FLM.
Today, I've been mostly googling Cm :( (embarrassed face) I'm Cd9 today, and have had lots of Ewcm when wiping, sorry TMI, I think it's too early for me to ovulate, as my cycles are around 32 days, geez this ttc malarkey is hard work!

Hi to all the new people.

Fruitloving, so sorry to hear you're going through that, it must be really hard so be kind to yourself, sounds as though you're being really strong.

Omg my google history is ridiculous at the moment!! Particular recurring highlights include: 'implantation bleeding', 'can you have your period and still be pregnant?', 'how long does it take the average person to get pregnant?' lols, must remember to wipe the iPad memory when I get home!!

Oh fruit loving that really is tough. There's no rules for how you cope with such a horrible thing, all you can do is follow your own lead. I hope you fall pregnant again nice and quickly.

Nickynacky its such an absolute pain in the bum isn't it? I would love regular cycles, but alas my periods are all over the place.

Thanks, I am really up and down emotionally at the moment, from totally zen to completely broken and back multiple times a day. I'm off on holiday for 10 days tomorrow so I figure that will provide a nice break and hopefully fix up my body then I can come back to a new start. Good luck to all the ladies who are already ttc, I hope to see some bfps when I'm back.

So sorry to hear about your miscarriage fruitlovingmonkey I think it's impossible to know how you'll feel in that kind of situation so no one can comment on how quickly or slowly you want to get back into the ttc route. Best of luck once you can try again xx

Can I join please? I just had a MMC, my gyn said I should get my period in about a month (although I've read 4-6 weeks is the norm) so I'm hoping to be back ttc by mid/ late May or June. I know everyone doesn't feel the same but I feel it is important for me to get pregnant again as soon as it is safe to do so. We started ttc in Jan and got a BFP at the end of the month. Tbh I would have much rather had to wait a few months for my BFP than go through this physical and emotional trauma (not to mention a 5/6 month set back) but, trying to think positively, at least we know we can conceive. Sophia, I am also very impatient! Roll on May/ June!

morning all.
cuppasarah. ..as I've not had proper AF in years I haven't a clue when it will come or not . I have downloaded an app call ovia fertility and put the bleeding I had the day after removal as my period start just as a pin point really which is telling my my fertile window starts next Tuesday. ..here's hoping.

I'm exactly the same my Internet history makes me look like a total nut job lol. I keep showing other half things and he just says when your actually pregnant then yes ....sprinkling baby dust to us all and then let the BFPS roll in x

Hello to the lovely people who have just joined!! Hoping for lots of bfps as the weeks go by!

at the double buggies, it's impossible with the internet not to look into it all. My google history makes me look like a crazy TTC lady.

Does anyone else has irregular cycles here? Mine are a bit all over the place. Worse since having my daughter too. Fertility friend gave me back my cross hairs today though, but still not a convincing temp rise. So I'll keep up with the opks.
