So AF got me this afternoon!! Trying not to get down in the dumps (although I just watched 'one born every minute' on catch-up and sobbed!)
Dusting myself off and hoping for better luck in April! A few stats:
Age-33
TTC-5th cycle
DC-1 DS (3.5 years old)
Anyone else at the start of their cycle and trying something new in the hope of a more successful month?!

Ahh feeling very inadequate! So much doing of the deed 😂 I'll follow suit next month if no BFP! Guilty of the pillow thing too! Less obvious than having my legs against the headboard of which I'm also guilty the things we do!
Is anyone testing soon? I can't wait to see all the pics- all of which will be BFPS too! I can feel it Wink I don't feel pregnant either radders! Although today at work I was chatting with a colleague and almost had to sit down as I could feel very slight pains- a stabbing/dragging like sensation up and down my right side very low down. I've never experienced it before! More than likely nothing though as it left as quick as it came!

raddersmrs · 14/04/2016 20:33

Suchajem you would think that's enough wouldn't you!!
We did 5,8,10, 11,13,14,15 and 17 .... I mean common. If that doesn't fertilise an egg I don't know what will!!!

We haven't done it since ... I feel completely sexed out ...!

Omg sorry I didn't mean I actually was asleep I just meant I was practically asleep! Was so tired haha
Sex whilst asleep would be interesting .....

Jod so funny about the pillow. We have done the pillow technique too although I'm so quick with the toilet paper in place that I have no leakage!!

I've still got CM but not really any other symptoms to report. I don't feel pregnant to be honest so think it will be a BFN this month but we shall see. Not long to wait now.

Footprints that's hilarious about falling off the bed! Can't say I've done the legs in air but I stay horizontal for fifteen minutes or so.

If you click the X in the app in right hand corner then go back to reply you don't lose what you have written

Footprints - I'll get planning now, DH will think it's his birthday Grin

I miss so much on this thread when I'm at work! Boo!

nimisha I haven't used the OPKs yet; going to start this month, I think. According to temping, I ov'd CD 27 and CD 22 in the last two cycles, so I think I might start about CD15? Just in case.... Will be hard to do as I generally don't get home till about 7! No chance at all at work!

This week is flying by! That is the good news about my work being so full on!

Jod any test action? If you did ov on March 28, as you suspect, then it should be picked up by a test!

Hope u had an awesome day. Been a tiring day for me, so off to bed early. Baby dust to all

Nimisha · 14/04/2016 18:53

footprints I was told to expect some bleeding after my coil was removed. It had stopped for a day but started again.

Jem it's going to be really obvious when I'm on FW. But tbh things had got a bit infrequent anyway in the least couple of months, I was hoping to get some libido back.

SuchaJem · 14/04/2016 14:39

jod I had that problem too with the app. It's a faff but I compose my messages in Notes and flick between so I can see what's been written. After DTD I lie down for a few mins but no legs in the air as yet!

nimisha thanks I hope so too. Lots of women on here post similar comments about their fellas not wanting to know about fw. Thing is for me it would be so obvious regardless - we NEVER have as much sex as we do in fw!

footprints lol honestly the efforts we go to!

Hahahaahaa at the pillow!

Footprints1 · 14/04/2016 13:31

Nimisha - how come you are spotting?

Jod- that's so funny about the pillow. Thanks for the tip.

Jod1985 · 14/04/2016 13:05

You could try pillow under your bum but note put a towel on pillow as your hubby likely won't appreciate cum on his face when he lies on said pillow....mine didn't Grin

Nimisha · 14/04/2016 13:05

Go Footprints enjoy your night of romance. I can definately play it cool as I've started spotting again and the doctor said no dtd until it stops due to the risk of infection after the camera.I thought it had stopped but apparently not.

Are you doing any OPKs physics ? I bought some internet cheapies so it will be interesting to see whether they pick up an LH surge. I'm only doing them once per day after work so I might miss it.

Fingers crossed newhair for that BFP. It only takes once!

Footprints1 · 14/04/2016 12:46

Yes Jod- ovulation near. I got a dark opk line just now, tingly boobs and slight tummy ache so I think it's possible this is the day! So glad I convinced hubby half asleep to dtd. I didn't have legs in the air though this time. Glad it's now and not like last month on CD23. Hoping my cycle will be shorter than last month.

Asparagus for dinner, might buy him a beer.. Light the fire Wink

Footprints1 · 14/04/2016 12:40

Legs in the air! Smile
Funny one night I tried that when he went to toilet. I could hear him coming back and quickly flung my legs over to the side but rolled off the bed. He walked in to see my bum in the air and on the floor. Killed the passion Confused

newhairdontcare · 14/04/2016 12:15

CD 25 here.
Don't think we DTD enough this month, I have had two back to back trips away with work, all during my fertile phase according to the app. We managed a few times but I am not convinced it was enough.
Guess I will know this time next week (AF due next Thursday).

I do feel bloated, but have put this down to way too much yummy food.

Nimisha · 14/04/2016 11:13

Wow Jem that's impressive, I think you've given yourself the best chance there.

DH doesn't like being put under pressure "having to dtd just because the thermometer says so". I don't know whether I did the right thing telling him that I didn't think I was fertile, I just wanted to get going and dtd as much as possible. I let slip I'd done a negative OPK as well I don't think I'd told him I planned to. Think I might have to play it cool for a bit, though I will be completely lying with my legs in the air after dtd like you Jod, so won't look so cool then.

Jod1985 · 14/04/2016 09:09

Suchajem sounds like enough spunk to me!! Do you lie with your legs in the air afterwards like me? Blush

footprints is It nearly ovulation time for you?

Jod1985 · 14/04/2016 09:07

I'm not sure what length my cycle is now TBH. I just got the mirena out on the 23rd March. I'm only guessing day 31 as I'm convinced I ovulated on 28th.
I still have symptoms yes but I guess they could be symptoms of AF or Even side effects of getting the coil removed.
Continuing to DTD as often as we can just in case! Wink Hubby isn't complaining anyway!
I can never remember what everyone else says when I'm typing on the app. Hold on best go back and see.....

SuchaJem · 14/04/2016 08:31

Sleep DTD! Shock that's a new one. Maybe next month!

jod hang in there, would she usually have come by now?

Feeling a bit better today. Went to check on my opks earlier to reassure myself that I actually got a positive.

Keep feeling paranoid we missed eggo but we DTD on days 12,14,16,17+18 and I got my positive on day 15.

If that's not enough spunk I don't know what is Hmm

Footprints1 · 14/04/2016 08:02

Jod-are u still having pregnancy symptoms?

Jem- my relaxed approach lasted two days! Now I feel like I could work into a fertility clinic.

Racja- start planning your weekend Wink, I find, without planning anything and get that lovin saucy intention in early that night we get a bit tired and the excitement diminishes.
Radders- hilarious, u dtd when asleep! I felt a bit like that last night. Was so tired and really not in the mood but just kept thinking I could be super fertile tomorrow morning. Don't think the DH would appreciate it if he knew. I just told him I wanted it quick! Lol Shock
Hope u get a birthday BFP!
How u feeling today?

Tee- how u feeling now?
Nimisha- My DH feels the same, if it happens it happens. He doesn't like planning for things otherwise he will stress about bigger house bigger car etc.. Sleepless nights etc.. He would like another if I do. So I have to hide my temp charts, opks & Internet research all the day! Smile

CD 31 Star......the wait for the witch continues.....

Racja14 · 13/04/2016 22:40

Same here, never thought I'd be doing all this crazy stuff! Never even knew about CM and now I could get a degree in it Grin

SuchaJem · 13/04/2016 22:20

Radders I was like you and your friend too - no stress! No opks! Easy easy!

That lasted two cycles HmmWink

Racja14 · 13/04/2016 22:18

raddersmrs it's about babies being born at the Portland Hospital, they pay £20k to have a baby in what is basically a five star hotel! Looking forward to the bank hol, better shave my legs ha ha
