TTC APRIL 2007 Thread Ctnd.....

Hannah, I chart my temp but to be honest don't spot any patterns there. I pinpointed average ov time firstly by (TMI) EWCM. Sorry...Once I had that I then bought ov sticks and the following month used them around the same point. Lo and behold, I had found out when I ov, and the last three months it's been at the same CD date (approx). Hope that gives you an idea of something to try. I'll let you know ASAP if I get a BFP. And if not, we'll get through the next month together.

Sounds like you'll all be fab together. It'll be really exciting, as you say, new challenges.

Thinking of the ov tests, reckon I might try them next month if it turns out I'm not PG. Being a bit irregular it's hard to know exactly when it's the right time anyway! Night shifts or no!

My dh is away with work alot so sometimes I've had to grab him as soon as he enters the front door after a 12hr flight. I wonder why we haven't been successful!?

Cheecymunchy - fingers crossed you've done it this month.

Don't know anyone in Germany. Am looking forward to the challenge, though, and DS seems still young enough to uproot without missing people too much. I know it'll be difficult for a while but we're a great little team!

DH works in European sales so has to plan business trips around ov time, which has been difficult when I didn't know when that was.

Do you have family/friends out there Cheechymunchy? Must be hard uprooting from home. Don't know anything about maternity care, even here let alone Germany! Good luck with it all

Talking of BDing and when, my DH does all sorts of crazy shifts, he always seems to be on nights or lates when we need to be BDing! Blimmin annoying!! Feel guilty if he's come off a long night, but you'd think he'd be pleased! Does anyone else have shift issues?

Bbabymumma, I too was the same the first time. We wanted a DC but were taking a casual approach to it. This time round seems to be a nightmare. I recommend ov sticks. Am 3 cycles into using them and they pinpointed my ov date. let's see if this month I'm successful. They gave me the best confirmation of when to BD each cycle.

HannahMTW - lucky you being off work. I only got lots of bruises on legs and a scabby knee (I thought it was only kids that got those). Hope you recover soon.

Am moving to Munich in next 3 months for a few years with DH and DS (promotion for DH). Am SO complacent at work now, and am hoping to hand in my "envelope of freedom" in the next week or so. Hurrah!!! God knows what i'tll be like to give birth in Germany though...

Cheechymunchy - How bizarre so similar! Wel I'm off work coz of the arm so I guess that's pretty cool! Spooky stuff!

Bbabymumma - thanks for keeping me hopeful goodness knows what's going on otherwise! AFs never been later than 31 days so it's almost a week. Last cycle AF came day 29. I ordered the other tests on Sat. They're supposed to be delivered 1st class so should arrive sometime this week.

You are not soppy. DD was wearing little skirt with socks and sandals at weekend and I wanted to eat her she looked so cute.

Am on cd18 - used to have a short cycle, but its changed and is all over the place. Conceived dd by accident - used to be so smug about it. Now realise I needed a big slap.

If it doesn't work again this month I'm going to bd every other day all month Not sure what dh will think about this. Initially he thought it was great! Will try the ov sticks. I've given up hope over a week before AF due!

Hi Bbabymumma. DS is just over two and I'm head over heels in love with him. Me and DH were watching him play in the paddling pool yesterday and both felt so proud we were teary. How soppy are we?
AF (probably) due tomorrow. I'm on CD 28 today, and AF on average arrives CD29. My problem is that my LP is ridiculously short and FP very late in cycle. Good in a way because there's very short wait before AF arrives (or hopefully doesn't), but it took forever to discover this. Mind you, all my family seem to BD successfully in May so maybe next month will be my lucky month. Must be something to do with the Bank Holidays...
Right, I'm waffling. can you tell I'm bored at work?

What's your current CD situation?

I didn't know that re dates. I shall work out if thats why our efforts have been unsuccessful. If you bd every other day couldn't you miss your most fertile bit? Someone put a link to a ferility website at the beginning of this thread I shall investigate.

Met my old post-natal group at weekend - over half pg. Felt really pants.

There must be something in the water for such a lot of BNF's but no AF?! Not sure i can suggest anything.

As for BD'ing do you know how to calculate your fertile time? Take 18 from your shortest cylce over the past few months and 11 from your longest cycle e.g. 26-18 = 8 and 32 -11 = 21. Then BD everyother day from the 8th day of your cycle till the 21st day of your cycle and at some stage you'll hit your fertile period.

Hope the sun keeps shining . DD loves playing outside.

Scorpio she's nearly 18 months.

Hi cheechymuncy - our messages crossed! How old is ds? Good luck this month. When is AF due?

No AF HannahMTW so still a chance. Is your AF normally late? When are you expecting to get the extra sensitive tests? Symptom spottin is rubbish. I was really nauseas last month - thought fantastic and it turned out to be that d&v bug that everyones had/has got.

Scorpio1 - did i read you were 7 weeks last time before you got a BFP? Can you make the doctors do a blood test - does this show if you are before pee tests? Can anyone help with the kiddies whilst you study? Sounds vhard work!

Lexie100 just read that your dd doesn't sleep well. Tell me about it. Its a girl thing I'm sure.

Hi HannahMTW! Just saw your profile and we're SO similar!! Got exactly the same hobbies and get this - I fell off my bike last Sunday. Spooky.
Also adore Zero 7 (Simple Things my fave album)

Good luck with TTC

Hi cheechymunchy, sounds promising for you, good luck!

Sorry that last post was kinda for BBabymumma!

Hey Scorpio, I'm CD 37 too. Had another BFN. Don't get it!

Hi everyone, can I jump on the thread and say Hi? TTC No.2 for about a year. Joined FF to chart my temps and this morning actually got a coverline and confirmation that I've ov'd and BD'd well enough to get a "good" score. Sitting at work and really can't be bothered to do anything after such a gorgeous weekend and DS being utterly scrumptious playing in the paddling pool. I miss him.

Good luck everyone.

So you think there's still a chance I could be PG? It's all v weird.

Don't blame you for symptom-searching! Every little twinge, odd taste, funny-tummy feeling begs the "could I be?" question!

Keep hoping anyway, I bet no.2 will arrive unexpectedly before you know it!

hi everyone

i have SO much work to do today its unbelivable (for uni), and i dont know how i'm supposed to with 2 little ones here!?!

CD37 here, af 9 days late, still bfn. am going to the doctors on friday if its still not here, because it will be 2 weeks late by then.

thats about it from me!

Hi all

Haven't been on MN for a while but am trying to catch up. There's been so many BFPs! This has to be the luckiest thread ever. AM cd18 and AF due 25/4.

Plummy - I gave up bding on cd16, now I feel I should have continued but the romance was dwindling. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong! Might get the ov sticks next month.

Tigerschick - I feel the same when I see families with 2. I know it would be lovely for my dd to have a sibling but its just not happening for us at the mo.

HannahMTW BFN - hmm! Still have hope until AF arrives. With my dd I have 3 BFNs.

DH is off to China next week so if i get a BFP (which I have a feeling I won't) - you shall be the only ones with me sharing the drama.

Looking out for symptoms. Ridiculous - I'd only be a few days after conception.

I've just tested, BFN again! Yet CD37! Used first response, don't know how good they are, still waiting for delivery of the 10 miu ultra sensitive tests. Went to docs this morning too, they don't do tests any more. I didn't know that!

If I'm not pregnant then what the hell's going on with my bod?! I don't know...

Good luck to any other testers, hoping for some BFPs!

Morning all!

Congratulations to those of you who have successfully survived the Easter holidays with dc home all day

Plummy - I'd say it's definately worth bding for several days either side of when you are due to ov. My body is rather f*ed up so I think it's worth spreading your efforts, so to speak, just in case you ov a few day earlier or later than you thought. Hope that makes sense!

I spent Saturday night with a friend who has 2 dss, ds1 is nearly 3 and ds2 is 14mo. On the one hand I was quite scared at the thought of having to watch over 2 little ones, they seemed to both need attention at once but never together! But then, yesterday morning, my friend got ds2 out of his cot and put him in ds1's bedroom then she went back to bed and they played together for about half an hour. It made me want another baby even more, seeing them playing so happily together! I suppose there are pros and cons to everything in life and, as long as the pros out weigh the cons, then you have to go after the things you want! Sorry if that's all a bit philisophical for this time on a Monday morning

Hope you all have a lovely day today.
Anyone testing? Scorpio, I've forgotten where you are up to?

why is it I cannot stop eating chocolate at the mo!?!! Is it just because I was given lots for Easter? Yes probably...
