Cindy, that's great! I know the 'will I won't I ov' panic...

Heeby, I'm feeling OK about ttc now, thank goodness. Having last month 'out' gave me a chance to take stock after my mc and I definitely don't want to sit another month out! Good luck at your appointment and try not to worry - different pg to last time, all will be fine!

yellow, well AF cramps are now starting so here's hoping it will arrive tomorrow as scheduled and then the ttc can start at last!!

I've moved myself to the end as AF has already arrived.

Hi Everyone... panic over.. I actually ovualated yesterday which was great was going in to panic mode.. you know the normal ... am I ever going to ovulate again (this fear brought on because of age). So only have another two bd sessions and then I am over with the DP!! phew!!

Its been a total nightmare this month trying to get DH as he works late and therefore is knackered in the morning. But we have both made a super effort this month, so hoping we would have done enough.

Hey girls, I had a good weekend. My first dry wedding which actually went ok. Everyone else was busy getting very drunk so didn't notice there was no gin in my tonics :-)
I think my dancing is so bad I look drunk anyway! I did another test on Saturday - positive still and feel I need to keep doing one every few days. Am going to stop though as that is insane. I'm 5 weeks today so very, very early days. Planning to wait another 3 weeks or 4 and then head for a private scan. I want some reassurance before Xmas.
For the new peeps - I'm TTC baby number one and have had one missed miscarriage which showed at 10 week scan and one mc at 6 weeks so am crossing everything for this one!
Wannabe - I have a good feeling this month for everyone. I've got my fingers crossed for everyone on this thread.

pinkie are you temping, doing OPKs or just observing CM??. CM will tell you when you are most fertile but not when you are about to OV or have OV'd as you could have it for many days before & some days after. I've done temp & Opk this month as well as observing CM etc & feel so much more at peace as I now know that I am about to OV & my temp will tell me when I have OV'd & then its just the dreaded 2WW until AF due date, but temping will also give you an idea if thats on its way too. This is the 1st month that I actually feel as though I'm in tune with my body & can put the worrying aside & relax a little on the 2WW knowing that I've done all I can to make it happen, its then up to those little swimmers to in the right place at the right time & for the little bean to get a good hold I definately recommend both methods

Hi all, how is everyone?

village how are you doing hun? getting into a state of panic yet?

pinkie sounds like you are doing it all perfectly, good luck with the bd fest!

I have braved the Dr's and made a booking in appointment for Friday - feel quite scared still and worrying with each twinge.

Well am sat here with my large glass of grapefruit juice (( am lifting glass and saying cheers to all))

I think its made a difference, finally got the ewcm on sunday night so been bding lots since, well every night and hope to keep DH energy up til the weekend , surely that should hit the right time

pezzina, your dh sounds great! I'm finding that the whole ttc thing (in our case ttc after mc) has actually helped us to talk all sorts of other things through; do you find that too?

yellow, I'm also self employed so I totally understand. I'm just trying to coast through work insecurities at the moment - as funtime said above, there's never a perfect time to get pg and somehow it just has to fit around the other stresses of life... Hope you're feeling OK today.

Still waiting for AF but I see from the list that I'd worked out it's actually due tomorrow, so will try not to get neurotic!

I had to go back 7 pages to get an update list to see who is due AF/testing next, so thought I would repost this lastest one as it needs some date changes & Deeja you will need to add your AF date

Pezzina so sorry to hear about DH, I had the same 2 years ago & I'm much happier now so don't give up hope it will all work out for the best in the end.
I'm in such a good mood today got a big smiley face on my OPK this morning, so should OV anytime in the next 48 hrs, told DH to be on standby as soon as he gets home. We have managed to BD the last 3 nights & w'll give it all we can over the next couple of days, so if I'm not pg by the end of this month....... I'm glad I'm OVing now as we are flying back to UK on Thurs till Mon so I won't be able to get to a computer to record my temps etc, but should get my temp rise to say I have Ov'd before I go & it also means we can relax & BD for fun while we are away instead of all this timed stuff. The 2WW begins........

Thanks everyone - you are such a lovely bunch!

Sorry to hear the rotten luck pezzina. Your dh is spot on though about keeping to ttc. There is never a good time to have a ankle-biter, financially.

Lovely to hear from you Wanabe and you've made me feel heaps better . Have a lovely time on your hols.

C1NDY, I'd keep bd'ing until you're sure that you've ov'd (passes over a sustaining bar of choccy).

Sorry to hear that you're feeling fed up Ellie. Symptoms are over-rated, they just mess with your head . Not much help, I know, sorry .

pezzina sorry about redundancy, hope he gets soemthing else soon. My laptop is broken so may not be able to log in as much which is depressing, what will i do without my daily chats? Don't forget about me if i am away to long. Its coming up to CD8 and following DH plan so need to start some BD soon which DH is excited about. GOing to Dr to get blood work done as well, may stretch the truth and say been trying 6 months and as over 35 next month they hopefully will look at me now rather than the year needing to wait for the yonger amongst us!! Good luck to everyone teesting in next few days and happy BD ing to all the others. Will probably log in at work if get chance on Wed - I am getting withdrawal symptoms already !! x

pezzina, thats great its no good getting down about it because it is out of your hands and with that good attitude I'm sure he will turn things around. In retrospect it was the best thing that could have happened for us as my dh ended up with a much better position.

As for the 2ww, i am fed up already.. desperately want at least one symptom.

Thanks Ellie - my DH is remaining positive about it - looking at it as a new challenge - which is helping me to stay positive too. He is wonderful, I'm a very lucky girl

*Pezzina, so sorry about redundancy, we were in same boat 2 years ago so I know what a shock it can be but your DH sounds wonderful so I am sure you will pull through it together.

Big Yellow ? these are stressful times re: work and money worries ? so it?s only understandable you are feeling emotional ? especially when TTC on top of running your own business.

My DH got the bad news he was being made redundant on Friday. He was wonderful though as the first thing he said was ?don?t worry, this is definitely not going to change our plans of trying for a baby? I jumped for joy because I did worry we would have to put plans on hold and he must have sensed that.

The 2WW is the worst, I am trying very hard not to symptom spot and keep busy.

Hi all,

First chance I have had to catch up for a few days as we were away for the weekend.. Hope you all happy and positive today.

Welcome Deeja, nice to have you on board.

Bit of a boring week for me as on 2ww, trying not to sympton spot and nothing really happening anyway.

wannabe Great that you will be able to put plan into action whilst on holiday.

Hey ladies,
Sorry haven't been around all weekend don't think i even turned my computer on was so busy! I'm flying away next Sunday for a fortnight so tying up some loose ends like buying the xmas cards and wrapping paper ready!

Anyway AF arrived a little early this month, on Saturday. Not disappointed as was totally expecting it and now it means my OV will be while im on holiday, so that's nice! We will have more of a chance I think.

Hey Funtime nice to see you posting! you are so not fraudulent, you are one of the original crew and we need your advice and experience (even when it's as horrid as it has been for you). It helps me to stay focussed and grounded. Will be nice to have everyone back and ttc again. Hopefully your BFP wont be too far away! Same for the rest of us too!!

Ladies I have a fabulous feeling about this month! after all, if i am successful this time I will find out 3 days before Christmas. How perfect would that be? We can but hope!! Keep smiling ladies, and Deeja you have a great outlook! what a fab way to get through those monthly AF's by thinking of them as a means to an end. Very good idea I think

Morning everyone, c1ndy

I think if you read the DP plan it says that you keep going on the everyother day bding until day 35 and then if still not ovualted take a HPT test.

It assumes that you can ovualte anytime over 10 days between cd10 - cd20 hence the 10 OPK sticks. What cd are you on ?

Hope that helps
