All ages and age gaps welcome!

I'm 29, have a 16mo DS, TTC since periods came back in July 2014, had a mc in Jan.

Anyone else?

My dh is a hero! :)) Full cooperation even though he came in super late! This morning I had a temp rise of 0.2 so not sure about ovulation yet. Will have a test later in the day. Now I guess it is time to wait. And keep fingers crossed!
Indomitable what is IC?

Indomitable · 13/06/2015 19:47

#boringpost Hmm

Indomitable · 13/06/2015 19:45

I've just ordered myself 15 ICs. I suspect I'll get more use out of these than the last batch. Which expired in 2012. Of which there are still some left up there and I'm desperate to wee on them like some incontinent dog

RalucaMorena · 13/06/2015 18:53

Thanks for your good energy! Hope I get lucky although I kinda feel down.
With me ovulating on different days every month I feel frustrating

CarrotPuff · 13/06/2015 14:09

Indo "baby dancing" makes me wince and shudder too...

Enjoy your time at Glastonbury *mugoo", then back on TTC wagon with fresh energy whenever it is!

No shag last night but had one just now while DS is napping... I don't have the highest drive since DS was born but I find the more often we go it, the more I'm up for it. Already plotting another one tomorrow Grin

Also last night I've dreamed that DP has proposed. I don't remember the proposal itself, just the ring - I didn't like it Grin

haha indomitable, no shag last night and DD woke up at 4.30 this morning so think tonight might be out too because we're supposed to be going out for drinks with friends and we'll both be knackered, alongside the mood killer of having my parents next door!. fingers crossed I ov tomorrow or Monday and can catch the egg... raluca FX for you tonight Wink

Indomitable · 13/06/2015 09:36

Morning,

Hope marmite and Raluca manage to get a shag tonight. (Sorry, I can't bring myself to use the twee euphemisms!) which is a weird thing to hope for, but there you go!

I'm on 7dpo. I'm deep in to the daydreams of imagining what could be. Even though it's extremely unlikely. Roll on next month when we can get on it properly.

RalucaMorena · 13/06/2015 08:15

Ovulation day here and dh working all day. Last bd on Thursday so unless he's up to it tonight that's another wasted month. The bad thing is that I am in a big time nesting period. Is just the baby that's missing. ..

marmitemofo · 12/06/2015 21:36

sorry to hear that mrsM Sad hope you have a fun time at Glasto.

me, dp and dd are at my parents for the weekend and ewcm has just turned up! terrible timing! sharing a room with my dd next to my parents... I suggested doing some sneaky quiet BDing and he didn't seem keen so looks like it'll be a couple of days off during peak time, argh

mrsmugoo · 12/06/2015 21:11

Actually it's likely to be 2 months off as my DH is more than likely going to be working awayfor the cycle after next.

I'll carry on temping as I'll need that info for the doctors.

I feel really deflated as I'm resorting to doctors and won't even be trying again for another 2 months :(

RalucaMorena · 12/06/2015 20:14

Sorry mugoo! On the other hand taking some time off might prove a good idea as relaxing does wonders! With ds I got pregnant right after a nice holiday in Turkey.

mrsmugoo · 12/06/2015 20:09

Accepting that it's AF now and as I'm taking a month off TTC for Glastonbury in 2 weeks I may not be on here for a little while.

Good luck everyone!

Tfoot75 · 12/06/2015 19:17

First AF since coming off cerazette has arrived today, quite glad as going away next week and was quite worried as have heard that first AF after childbirth can be quite bad (although had a gap between of 2 years so might not have any effect!)

mrsmugoo · 12/06/2015 13:13

It's only 8 days post ov so ages til I could test. I had it in my head next Wednesday at least for testing.

CarrotPuff · 12/06/2015 11:53

Fx it's IB mugoo. If it is, it will take a few days to show up on a stick.

Sorry AF got you Pixie, enjoy your beer!

No shag last night. But then I'm nowhere near ovulation yet and we'll go for EOD this month. Try at least.

woundbobbin · 12/06/2015 08:54

Mugoo that sounds torturous will keep everything crossed that it's a IB when do you think you can test?
Sorry about AF pixie and la pampa.
Hope you are feeling better carrot.
I'm CD9 so considering starting the shagathon although no EWCM yet. Saw the GP again yesterday bloods seem to suggest it's not PCOS or menopause so bit clueless as to why AF is only hanging round for 24hrs am having a ultrasound in a couple of weeks not feeling like there is much point in starting the shagathon but will prob give it a go anyway.

Raeside · 12/06/2015 08:29

I'm shit at temping, pretty clearly, but I'm sure your temps go down as AF arrives. You never know!

mrsmugoo · 12/06/2015 06:46

Ok now I'm confused. Bleeding has stopped (well clean tampon overnight) and my temps are still way up.

Could it be IB? Or am I just kidding myself? It's really messing with my head and I'm still way off being able to test.

I guess I just wait and see.

Pixie2015 · 11/06/2015 21:14

The smiley wouldn't have been a happy one, the above sound a bit too happy!

Pixie2015 · 11/06/2015 21:12

Hi all - temping looks more challenging than poas!

Another perfect 28day cycle! So celebrating CD 1 with ice cool beer! At this point would insert a smiley if I knew how too!

RalucaMorena · 11/06/2015 18:40

Your temperature dips indeed on the day of ovulation and the spike comes after the egg is released. I just found this out last month.

mrsmugoo · 11/06/2015 16:53

I've booked a doctors appt. I really don't know what to expect but I'm basically pissing in the wind at the moment.

marmitemofo · 11/06/2015 16:34

Oh no, sorry to hear that mrsM Sad sounds very like my last cycle - so depressing isn't it. sending hugs

mrsmugoo · 11/06/2015 15:52

Well I can't actually believe it - 99% sure AF is here (as opposed to IB) as fresh red blood now. A 23 day sodding cycle and only 7 day luteal phase. I can't fucking believe it. I'm gutted.

Raeside · 11/06/2015 15:15

Being ill is the worst, for sure. I get bad headaches and find sometimes Paramol works as it has codeine in it. I'd take some, 30 mins later have a passenger shag and then pass out, if I were you!
