TTC MAY-be, maybe not.... lets try again with the May thread

MrsMc - does a rise in temp mean you have OV? Am i right in thinking you are using the OPKs from Access Diagnostics ? I have a pretty rubbish month using those as you'll see from my rant on the 'after m/c thread'.

Annie/Plummy - no more talk of potty training please, I am getting pressure to do it here . How old are your dcs ?

Scorpio - hope your w/e goes ok ...

Welcome karma..

Hello everyone else !

Thanks for those kind words, much needed as I was feeling sorry for myself. Not too bad now, managed to get a bit of rest and thankfully no more vomit (from anyone!!)
Hope hubbie doesn't come down with it - I'm hoping for some action over the next few days! (can't believe how selfish that sounds but you know what I mean, I hope!)

Thanks Wheely temp didn?t rise this morning though we?ll just have to see!

PlummyMummy ? I read about a lady who OV when she still had AF in Toni Weschler?s book. Do you know when you OV? Just wondering which phase of your cycle is short; AF to OV or OV to AF. If it is the later, it can be an issue but there are ways to try to increase it. Short cycle for the right reasons means more chances to succeed over time though!

Tigerschick In the past I have had 2 +ive OPKs per cycle so was surprised to get only one and therefore so little warning, only about 12 hours! We?ll just have to see. Have a lovely birthday!

Boobylicious ? hope AF is not too horrid if she arrives

Soph73 ? I agree about the extra pressie! Men hey!

More from me later!

soph- isaw the queen the other day and really didnt like it!have a nice quiet night in anyway

Karma, I hope you feel better soon. Scorpio, enjoy the pub.
Soph - I will be joining you for a large glass of wine

Anniemac I know how you feel. Ds is doing really well with potty training too. Mind you, I think he is taking the pooing a bit far now. He has been doing about 5 a day I think he is doing it to get our approval, but I'm starting to worry about his poor bowels. Tigerschick, I'm still bleeding and it's CD8 (brown rather than red but blood nonetheless). My last cycle was 24 days. I will check an ovulation calendar but I reckon now is about the time I should be trying.

That should have been 'settling'. Byeeee!

Afternoon all. Well good luck to everyone this weekend . I´m signing off for the weekend now and unfortunately I´ll be setting down with a very large glass of wine, the cat and 'The Queen' DVD as hubby is off on a boys night. Enjoy!!

good afternoon ladies

CD8 here and of to the pub with me tonight!

Tiger - you ok? have a nice weekend chick

Anniemac - this child will also be our fourth between us - 2 together, one each with someone else.

so,she descends this evening...........

it should be fine

Hope everyone else ok?

Karma, hope you are ok.dont lose hope - you can and will get pg

Hi Karma, sorry to hear that you´re not feeling too good. Hope you feel better soon and that you´re managing to get some kip!

Hi all,
Although I'm on the TTC 3 thread, thought I would join you guys too for some more support. Inbrief, have 2 DSs, 4.5yrs and 2yrs. Started trying in Jan, got pregnant straight away, but misc. in Feb. Now on CD 9 and feeling crap! D + V going round the family. Thankfully friend has taken older DS for a few hours and other DS is asleep. Think I may try and have a kip now myself.
Good luck to all TTC in May, hope there is some good news.

Morning all.
Pippi - nice to hear we´re in the same boat! Although serious lack of bding last night (probably too knackered from the night before!) and it was his birthday. You´d have thought he´d have wanted an extra pressie.

MrsMcJnr - sorry to hear that, hopefully he´ll pick up over the weekend

Bobbydazzler - sorry to hear about your FIL. My ds never got to meet my dh´s dad as he passed away when dh was in his early 20´s. I think he would have been terribly proud of dh though and I´m sure he´s looking down and smiling on us just like yours is.

right im buying some ov sticks today its driving me mad now not knowing whats going off

and i still feel strange so i think this af when she finally arrives will be huge and horrid but i have been with out fot 18 months

Morning Ladies!

Plummy - Oh No, surely not! There is still quite a wide window even if you do have a short cycle. I hope it doesn't come to that! Have you investigated ways of making your cycle longer? I'm no expert but I'm sure I read on here that there are things you can take... I'm sure someone a lot wiser than me will fill us in soon.

MrsMc - Glad your boss wasn't there the other day, any improvement since? I think lunchtime bding sounds great! Unfortunately dd is always wide awake at lunchtime! You should be ok as they say to bd the day before and the day after ov and that seems to be what you did - well one of them

Scorpio - hope the weekend isn't too bad. Just enjoy the time with your dss and try to let his mum wash over you. Can't really log on til Sunday evening at the earliest as my parents are staying for my birthday so will check on you then

Everyone else - Good morning and good luck for lots of successful bding over the weekend

My cycle is getting shorter and my period lasts for over 7 days - no wonder I've been getting the timing wrong. I reckon I should be trying while I'm still bleeding - hmmm joy (not).

ooh mrsmc - doesn't sound too bad re timing at all if you ov today if you managed 'it' today. It ain't over till its over....

hello everyone else !

Hello Ladies ? think I OVd today, can?t be totally sure yet of course and temps have been higher than usual due to cough etc but my money?s on today. Means AF is due 8/5 How are you all?

Boobylicious ? fingers crossed that it?s just too early, your signs sound good

Wheelybug - +ive OPK for me at 12pm yesterday, no BD Tues or last night and -ive OPK at 12pm today so managed to persuade DH to let me have a lunchtime ?chase the egg? as we both happened to be at home. Probably too late but we?ll see. Only 3 promising strikes this cycle, the Jury?s now out!

Sorry to hear about AF AnnieMac (being my SILs name ? very odd for me!) better luck this cycle.

Bobbydazzler ? you speak about your FIL with such affection. It must have given him great joy that his son married a lady like you and your DS must have been the icing on the cake. I?m sorry he is gone

Soph73 ? I?m always a bit of DH?s that really enjoy all the action, mine is a bit jaded at the mo I guess, hard task mistress that I am!

Goingfor3 ? glad I wasn?t talking total crap. Knowing when you OV does make all the difference to getting your cycle in perspective doesn?t it.

Meto ? the bean thread? Confused!

Hello Pippi.

hello all. (my anniversary was today not yesterday I got my days all mixed up! lol. anyhow.) thanks for all the well wishes.

woz - YAY big congrats chick.

wheelybug - you're more than welcome to come to the bean thread - we're not v chatty over there at the mo but it comes in waves

hope everyone's doing OK thou - I really will keep up more- promise lol. still no 'o'v for me althou i'm still on red days and also have quite a good test line on the persona sticks so who knows. I think we'll wait the 3 months to see if the O comes up before worrying - easier said than done I know! lol. ooh good news re outlaws - they're not coming till weds next week so it means an extra 4 days of bd'ing to get in just incase

'DH was a happy bunny as he´s seeing more action this month than most' LOL soph73!!

Mine is the same!!

MrsMcJnr - You were right! I found something saying that when you ovulate it can disprupt one of the hormone level and cause a ting amount of bleeding a couple of days later.

I'm on CD24 today and if I hadn't spotted that I ovulated late this month I would be getting excited as last month I had a 23 day cycle.
