Relaxed TTC Feb/March/April 2016

I've had an awful day - my grandmother's funeral. I was very close to her & have felt like I'm in a trance all day. But when I start to feel normal again it's like the world is ending. I'm trying to distract myself with thoughts of a little one... and pizza. OH is out getting some now

I think Ovia counts two days after ov as part of the FW... I noticed that when putting in my details yesterday.

stumbly what day are you on now? I'm day 3.

Yeah my FW is different in FF than Ovia, Ovia has not taken into account my 29 day cycle and according to FF the last 2 days of the FW (Ovias) would be after ov. Hm.

Right there with you stumbly, right there with you.

Is there much of a difference? That's strange!

BFP's for us this month then :)

Just downloaded fertility friend and the FW is different to Ovias...hmm.

Sorry to hear that Alice. I am on cd3 and this is my first month so we will be quite close in timing! Good luck!

I'm out :( going to start charting my cervix next month, I'm too impatient for this malarkey ( yes I'm being ridiculous I'm on cycle 2 now).

True enough, I am an anxious creature though - and basically I would worry for 9 months for the sake of one evening. The anxiety isn't worth it for me. Blastocyst is a great word.

True! I can see why people say "raspberry-baby". Zygote has always weirded me out, reminds me of the monsters in Dr Who.

Alice, you have just taught me the term blastocyt. Sounds like some kind of bomb-diffusion technology!!

Blastocyts don't share blood supply until after implantation anyway.

I wouldn't worry about drinking when ovulating. I realised I was pregnant first time around whilst knocking back fizz at a party! Not ideal but all was well.
Sorry, am clearly a terrible example!

I'm t-total and just say "I don't drink anymore" or "nah alcohol doesn't agree with me these days" or "I just don't really fancy it" or " I've got to be up early in the morning " or drive. Many excuses honed over the years.

I'm so in denial about AF coming. Don't research spotting before BFP, don't do that.

Hmm I'm not sure they'll believe me but they know I wouldn't be not drinking for others reasons - it's quite far away so I was going to offer to drive (it's overnight) and just be like 'I have to drive'. I dunno - I'm not a great fibber but I would be loathed to say more than is necessary.

I'm stuck in limbo waiting for my coil to be removed but I've been taking my temps and I've had a dip then a spike so I'm pretty sure I've ovulated this month. I'm daydreaming that I might beat the odds and get pregnant with the coil still in (bit bonkers I know)

Still I'm glad I'm getting to know my cycle and have been doing some practicing dtd as we got really lazy (or more accurately to exhausted). It seems ages away until March which is when my appointment is.

Fingers crossed for everyone staring a cycle this month.

I am so broody today!! Got babies on the brain! Will only get worse as it's my friends baby shower on Saturday

OH seems to be getting more on board though with little comments he's made... TMI but I'm being a bit too optimistic & thinking if we DTD over the weekend we might get lucky it happened three days after finishing the pill for my friend so I guess anything could happen [/wishfulthinking]

Cateroo, not sure if it would work for you but I went to a party on Saturday and didn't drink. I'm not pregnant and still on the pill but am dieting so that was the reason. I will be having a drink this Saturday though as its my treat day (have one a month). Two people asked why I wasn't drinking as I like a drink at a family party and I just told them I wouldn't be able to resist the buffet lol, it was the truth. You can always say antibiotics but it's whether you think they'll believe you x

Cateroo - antibiotics are a good excuse to use. Unfortunately when I tried to use that as an excuse during the early weeks of pregnancy with dd all of my friends/work colleagues cottoned on that I was pregnant, as they all knew I liked a drink or two!

I'm still quite sore and the wound just doesn't seem to want to heal properly (been back to the doctors twice already this week). Trying not to let it get me down but its difficult not being very mobile, especially when my dd just wants to play with her mummy!

Bad luck Jenny!

I've gone a bit bad looking a cycle tracking apps and things!

14 weeks to go for me, which seems like a lifetime!!

Agreed - have spent whole adult life swerving pregnancy, it is a weird feeling! And antibiotics, of course, classic.

Oo and Cateroo excuse for not drinking could be you're on antibiotics ?

Hope you're ok Jenny that sounds really scary!! Take care.

I've just taken the last pill of my last pill packet - !!!!! can't believe it's come around so quickly it felt like the other I was talking about it being 6 months away! Exciting though.

I agree DTD every other day might kill me! I'm so exhausted at the end of the day I usually struggle to drag myself up to bed! Maybe an earlier bedtime is the key?
