New here TTC baby #1 Cycle #1

Lol!!! 10 days to go for me! It's a killer there's no doubt about it!! And impossible to tell!!! I've felt so bloody raging today! I could've argued with myself!! I'm not normally that bad but am not reading anything into it! Bloated too... That can be quite normal and eat!!....Well I think I've ate the ass out of a dead donkey!! seem to have a thing for cheese on toast the last 2 days which is great considering I'm trying wheat and dairy free diet for my endo!! Ha! Other than that great! xx

The 2WW is a pain in the ass, no doubt about it.

I know I'll be asking for a crystal ball this Xmas so I'll just know immediately rather than have to wait 2 bloomin weeks!

Trying not to lose the plot.... 9 days to go and I'm counting down the days like a kid waiting to go to Disneyland. Arghhhhhhh

How about you?x

How are we all doing?

I'm going to try and occupy my self too wander! Less psycho behaviour love it! X
Thanks cats that does sound a bit annoying, let's hope the app is wrong ish and the opk moves your days around a bit... I guess as long as you manage a go on positive day and a couple of days after it'll be all good! Don't give up yet X

Legs in the air! Haha!! I thought that was an old wives tale but if it actually works you'll bet i'll be doing it.

FX for you, XL

My Ovia app says my fertile period is from this Friday till Wed, annoyingly, my DH is away with work Friday until Monday, he's out Tuesday night (although he will be home late at night) so really that just leaves Wednesday after work. Will still use my OPKs incase the app isn't accurate but it's still bloomin irritating. I feel as though this month is already out for us

Crossing everything for you XL - I'm due 18th. Here's hoping less psycho behavior takes place in the wait this month . Must keep very busy!!x

And so the 2ww begins! AF due on 19th.... Fx she don't show up!

Lol!! Love that he's been looking! I started with 5-10 I've now upped the anti to 20 mins legs in the air and then a further 10 just lying down... Today I fell asleep for an hour! getting too old for these acrobatics! Fx! x

Totally! At least we can share these mad antics with our little group. I think my mates would think I'm insane.

I'm with you on the head stands.... Well not quite. But the whole legs in the air thing. I thought I was doing well lasting 5-10mins then my husband came home from work last night and told me (after finding an interest to Google conception tricks) that I need to do it for 30mins!!!!
We need to take time off work and social life to keep up with all these tricks!
Hopefully last month for us x

Haha!!!! I bet he is wander! I am doing head stands and allsorts... It's quite amusing really! I shall have a day off tomorrow and go once more Sunday although I'm on nights so shall be knackered!
isn't it funny what we share
Good luck to us both! x

Here we go girlies!
XL, we're very in tune! I'm on CD13 and got my 2nd and final 'peak' on the opk today.
I'm a turbo freak and have gone for the every day method in the fertile period. Husband is ready to hang up his boots now!!!

These next two weeks can hurry right up :-)

Yes that's what I heard ren that's why I dtd every other day!! Positive opk today cd12 fx for a good month!

Thanks all I've got some sticks on their way...

I've heard that you should just keep it to a few times a week to keep the sperm good quality...

I know! Me too I did start off doing it everyday after a positive opk then I spoke to a friend of mine who was having IVF and she said her consultant had said not to do it everyday but every other day... I've now tried both and I figure that sperm can last for days in there so every other day for me is enough lol!! I'm sure there's other people that do it multiple times daily!! I couldn't do that with work aswell id be dead!! Lol x

Thanks XL - I just get panicky about potentially 'wasting' a month, which is silly. x

pixie sorry to hear about af btw

I use the cheapie one step opks too ren
pixie yep the preseed is the fertility friendly lube I'd read good and positive things about it but after trying not for me!! Lol!

wander I've had a pos opk on cd12 seems to vary between 12 and 15 for me... I just carry on and dtd every other day I've read some recommend everyday and then others every other day

Ren I use internet cheapies called one step, about £3 for 20 and never had a problem with them.

Hey Ren, I use Clear Blue Dual Hormone indicator, digital ones. I really like them. They're silly proof and you can get about 3 months out of the box of 20 if you use them carefully. x

So I have my very light AF again...

What ovulation tests do you all use, I think I need to check I am actually ovulating!

Hey all, Sorry I've been quiet, af arrived Monday, was gutted but feeling positive now!! keeping busy with work.

Is preseed the sperm friendly lube? X

Ha ha ha. Oh well, at least you gave it a shot! And you got other freebies with yours

So I've a question for you ladies, according to my CBDH OPK I've reached my peak already today.... On CD12.... How many times and when do you guys DTD on these days?? Husband friend had to run off to work before I could tell him today was the day.... So I'll have to wait for him to come home from work and I'm turning all looney tune that I don't want to miss the window......
**Daisy- Maybe you can share your wisdom too x

Tmi warning! Don't like the preseed at all!! Far too slippery! Eeeek

Pixie- any update for you? Crossing my fingers.

XL- it arrived! I'm still waiting for mine. Good luck
