Trying to concieve 11 thread for October!! For us Unlucky ones on 10

I guess that's one way of looking at it sweetheart, thanks, and I am grateful that cycle is only 28 days.

I had a weird thing happen this month though. Got CM around day 9 (not had before and put it down to the starflower oil I've been taking) and always on a fixed 28 day cycle. is CM a sign you are going to OV or that you have OVed?
Also, (and I realise how dim I am going to sound here but...) I get AF on day 28 of cycle (thus it becomes CD1) so does that make my cycle 27 or 28 days? Have been using persona for 4 months but hasn't detected OV days yet so have just ordered ov tests from medisave. Sorry for the ramble.

kr,

Can you turn this into a positive thing?!?!?!? Ie, because you have the symptoms you don't have to spend days agonising over wether af is coming or not. I don't have symptoms normally and my cycle can be anything from 29 days + so it's a really long waiting game some months.

Realistically - I do know it's crap and i'd love to give you a big bear hug!!!

You know what the answer is don't you.......... CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!

I know runtus, it's vile sometimes isn't it.
I will now spend the next 8 days waiting for AF which I know is going to come whilst being tortured by vague, fleeting possiblity that could be pregnant.

Lets face it, the whole bloody thing is enough to make you hit the bottle! I can see now why people have to take time off from ttc once in a while...

hi can I come in and rant please.
every month it's the same, I get AF symptoms like clockwork about 8 days before AF, spots, bloating etc. It's horrible because then I have 8 days of thinking, "well you're definitley not pregnant again" and yet there is always a tiny part thinking "well maybe". I wish I didn't get AF symptoms and then it wouldn't prolong the inevitable so long
good luck sweetheart and runtus

thanks girls - glad to hear I wasn't the only one

Runtus, maybe you should wait until tomorrow and see if af arrives - that way if it does you can have spent the whole of today feeling excited that you might be preg and you'll save yourself £5!!! I don't know about you but this ttc lark is getting bloody expensive for me!!!!

I had almost decided to test just now but then went to the loo and spotted some light red on the loo roll.....now not sure if af on way or just a bit too forceful bding last night (TMIIK, sorry).

To scared to test now.

sweetheart, You go girl..
I have to say i am of you, bding has been slack this wkend!!!
SO who is testing sooooon???

There was nothing in the air in my house - DH was sulking about it this morning . My excuse was I was too bloody tired after 2 kids parties and a night out in less than 24 hours!

I was more than anything else sweetheart!

Everyone's gone quite cos we are all so jealous!

Only kidding - really pleased for you both, sounds like you all had a great time last night!

There must have been something in the air, cos it was all a bit lively in our house too!

dont be sorry sweetheart. i know i always feel like telling the world when we have GREAT sex. nothing to be about.

G'day girls, Wow so much to catch up on. Good luck to all those waiting to test!!
Sweetheart ~ I was there too last night dh gone away tonight for work so last night was amazing and iam not even oving yet it really takes the presure of you when you bd for the pleasure of it not just to get pg.
Currently on CD8 not expecting to ov till this weekend. will be feeling all pretty this weekend for my bestfriends wedding always do as a bridesmaid so that should help with the bding this w/end. iykwim.

SORRY!!!!!!!!! I REALLY have stopped this thread in it's tracks!!!! It really was TMI wasn't it

I'M SORRY!!!!!!

I know!!!!! I'm feeling quite pleased with myself today!! hee hee.

It was very intimate (quite unuual after 9 months of ttc - it's normally wham, bam, thank you mam, kind of sex)

It felt like we were having sex because we wanted to NOT because we HAD to - great feeling!!!!!

Anyway, I bet my dh is REALLY glad I'm sharing this with you

Either way - GOOD NEWS!

Yeah - smelly old doctors!!!!! lol if in doubt - resort to being juvenile!!!!!

I actually had a very wierd feeling after dh and i bd last night. TMI WARNING!!!!! ( not sure if it was coz of the 2 great orgasums or because a sperm and an egg were shaking hands!!!!) SORRY!!!!

Anyway we'll have to wait another 2(ish) weeks to find out.

Tessiebear - I did say I would give the girl thing a go too - but I was planning to go a day or so closer to ov!! Did your friend conceive a girl or a boy?
What on earth do the swimmers do in there for 5 days?? Hang about fighting and jostling for position?! I find it hard to believe

MommyD - a friend of mine conceived when she had BD'd 5 days before OV. I have heard another story on MN where somebody conceived when they had onlyBD'd once just after AF! I Bd'd on Fri and not since and think i am OVing today or tommorow - i am giving the ttc a girl a shot!

Good to have you back Sweetheart and Minnie, nice to see some old faces again!

I know what you mean S/heart, I was away from work for a bit last week and then you went away didn't you? Seems like loads longer, what with all the waiting going on!

Glad you are feeling a bit better over the disappointment of last week, here's hoping you don't need their smelly old appointment and get pg this month!

Good morning all, OMG so much to catch up on!!! so i'm just goin to start here...
CD18 for me.. Don't think my chances are high this month.. but still in hope !!!
runtus, Good luck
MrsWednesday, still in hope 4 you..(AF is a b%tch..
cp3 , What CD are you on.. I think were close enough..
Tessiebear, Good luck.. i had the CM yesterday
Good luck to all testing soon and those bding's..
have a nice day..

I've been away for a few days and have had some time to pick myslef up from the disappointmtne of having my gyne apt cancelled last week.

I'm trying to take a lighter approach to ttc ATM coz I've been getting too stressed out about it recently. I got my ovulation kits in the post on Friday so I'm relying on those to tell me the right time this month.

Glad to be of service Runtus, where have you been - seems like long time no see!!!

AND

Tex111 - so glad to see you back. I hope you've had a relaxing month and are ready to start ttc again with a PMA!!!!

Good luck and fingers crossed for everyone!!!
Spread the good vibes and babydust ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Ha ha Sweetheart!

I had sooo forgotten about that again!

ttc #3 and on cd12 today. dh gone away for the week and so only bd up until cd11!! Anyone know of anyone getting pg when stopping bd 3-4 days before ov? (We weren't up to it this morning - dh left at 4:30 to catch a flight, so cd11 it has to be!) PS Still standing on my head from last night

Runtus!!!!! Don't forget to book your smear love!!!!!
