Still here and now hoping for a OCTOBER baby!!! Everyone welcome please join me :)

Hi joy I don't think today was a good day for testing was it? At least I didn't waste another test. I was thinking today how strange it is that I spend 24hrs gutted about AF and then I just spring back into action. Suppose you've got to with this ttc lark tho.

I've heard some people count af in the morning as that day and af in afternoon as the next day, also some have a cut off time of 6pm. I, however, count from the first spotting at whatever time it is as that day. Coz I'm using the persona tho, you can only reset it in the morning so I have to count the first morning of af as cd1. (I still keep my actual cd in my head tho!) I don't think it matters all that much as long as you always do the same.

bubble Don't think I'd have the stamina to do every day! Are you using anything to pinpoint ov? Maybe you could do daily for a few days around ov and every other day either side of that just to make sure? Or you could aim for everyday so it doesn't matter so much if you miss the odd day here or there?

I've got my own question. How long does everyone keep bding after ov?

Hi LittlePrincess, AF has finally departed so BD'd tonight just for practice, hooray!

Glad to be finally able to "try" although part of me is terrified about getting pg again - we've got no family support around us and all our friends' work full-time. With DD 15 months, wonder how I'll cope being pg with a toddler and then being on maternity leave with her and "future baby". I also suffered from PND last time, so really hope I don't end up the same this time... still, at least now I know the signs to look out for (all assuming I get pg in the first place of course).

I'm sure we're doing the right thing, just feeling a bit unsettled now that we're actually BDing rather than just having sex, IYSWIM.

I'm also thinking of baby names even though I keep trying not to. Find myself scanning credits at end of TV progs and trying out different names that catch my eye to see how they fit with our surname. Have to say, "Future Baby" is starting to have quite a ring to it although can't really see him/her thanking me for a name like that!!

warmseabreeze sorry to hear about your mc. It's quite a coincidence that we had such a similar experience. And it would be great if we had another more positive coincidence this month eh?

smallone sorry to see you got your period. We were supposed to get bfps tomorrow weren't we... bah.

I wonder whether anyone can help with a question I asked on another thread which got "lost": I started bleeding very lightly at 7.30pm ish on Fri night, with full af starting Sat morning. So is Fri my CD1, or Saturday? Any answers appreciated.

StealthPo09IsHere I got my preseed from here and it came through the post. They are in pipette like things you squeeze up there - nice!
We are sad so and so's aswell, being not pregnant and thinking of names - its our late night, lights off conversation

What is the green light thing and an opk? I am just using cheap ovulation tests from web - is there something better out there? I have been taking evening primrose in the 1st half of my cycle to increase my cm but no ewcm to date I did have it when I was younger - but now I'm the whole of 31 it seems to have dried up

Going to add myself to the list here

Hi all, just wanted to say that Im not going to join in much this month, Ive always concieved really easily in the past and I got so into it last month, totally obsessed that I probably got stressed out and thats why it didnt happen.

Ive decided not to buy any ovulation kits, not 'try' and just see how we go.

I will pop back now and then, and I wish you all the world of luck ttc this month

Evening Ladies

Wow you have all been very busy, just trying to catch up on things as haven?t been online over the last few days.

Firstly Congratulations Trixie and Stelth on your BFP?s. Lots of sticky baby glue coming your way and let?s hope they are the beginning to a very successful thread.

Welcoe to all the newbies

WizzyWoo Sorry to hear that AF is lurking, hope she has buggered off now. My AF was also taking a while, but I?m all set for beginning BD?ing tomorrow. At last Hopefully it?ll be the last AF we have for a while and that?s why she was hanging around

Ralphie0956 Happy belated birthday

Joy27 Welcome to the thread. So sorry to hear of your mc. I also had a mc last April, is a horrible thing to experience, let?s hope that we get our sticky beans very soon.

Theboob Dancingqueen Fingers crossed that you both managed to catch that egg on the days that you did bed. I know its easy to feel down when you?ve missed those important days (DP works away a lot also), but I always try and think that people get pg after one night stands?In a way that really sucks, but also keep things in perspective a little. Sending baby dust your way

Andi0411 Sorry to hear of your CP and history of mc. Fingers crossed that this is your cycle.

earlynite & devilsA I to cant help myself but look at prams, baby clothes and picking baby names Glad to see that I am not the only one

Looking forward to starting BD?ing tomorrow. Just trying the every other day method, with B6 and Folic acid supplement, and grapefruit juice.

If I don?t fall this cycle will be trying OPK?s and preseed next cycle so will be interesting to see if it works for those who have been using it. x

just wanted to add in my cycle
stop typing on mn and get bding you lot!

Hi everyone, can I join you? I'm moving over from sept board, AF arrived today, am really disappointed as I thought we'd cracked it this time. But onwards and upwards eh? Might not be around much coz I find it makes the month go really slowly, but I'll prob be back with avengence in the 2ww! Plus its dd's 2nd birthday next weekend so will be snowed under by relatives etc. Good luck everyone.

ttc#2 cycle 6 UCL 28-30 CD1

Thanks girlwithacurl. I had a bit of ewcm last time but not much. It's a bit complicated but I had surgery to have my wisdom teeth out just around the same time as the last time I got a positive OPK, and had to take lots of heavy duty painkillers etc. So I had a feeling that maybe I was ready to ovulate but it didn't actually happen - fertility friend says that a big shock or stress can do that. I'm crossing my fingers that's what happened. Anyway, I'm waiting for dh's best friend to leave the flat (they are watching football oblivious to my drama)and then jump on him tonight, possibly waking him up at 4am tomorrow morning as well!
Andi and Homeinthesun, good luck with your BD marathon and Fifi, great news about the OPK.

hello everyone, congrats stealth and Trixie!
Eeyore, that sounds really confusing, did you have EWCM lsat time? I would see that as a really positive sign!

Hello everyone, Have updated the list as I think one of our graduates had dropped off the bottom and I should be on CD12. With 36 of us on the list now I'm buying shares in Mothercare

Andi sounds like you have had a rough time with the chemical pg. Good luck with the BD marathon. Eeyore your DH has his work cut out before 5am tomorrow
I've been OP testing again today and had a proper line about as dark as the control line. Feeling very reassured that something is actually happening.

eeyore, that's so annoying. Definely bd tonight, and any time in the morning?

Hi ladies thanks for the welcome. I am on cd4 today but I'm really not even sure if this is a 'proper' af as I had a chemical pg but I'm going to treat it as such. Have been in bed most of week-end as bleeding was quite painful and my af's are normally painless....Bleeding stoppped today so I'm going to aim for pestering my other half every 2 days from cd6 to cd 20- that should cover it for me in a regular 27-28 day cycle. Poor man...
I am also NOT going to test early as this chemical pg has been such a heart-break. I want to be 'late' and then take it from there.
How's everyone else feeling today?

So... (warning, long post)...I had noticed a slightly strange feeling and more than usual cm (sorry if tmi). So just on the offchance I did an opk test and it came up with a positive smiley face sign. So it seems like I might finally be about to ovulate, on CD48. I had given up on the idea of ovulating this cycle, because I had a positive OPK on CD15 which never materialised into a temp shift or an AF, and I got a BFP when I tested at CD35. But the really annoying news is that I am about to depart on a business trip for the next three days, leaving at 5am tomorrow morning. So I will have to try to get in lots of BD this evening and then cross my fingers. Plus it might end up being another red herring like the one on CD15. Sorry if I've bored you all, just wanted to get it off my chest!

Got a bit confused with CD, apparently I'm on CD13 not 8 Updated list.

Congratulations trix and stealth great news to hear.

Hi FifiOK sorry I didn't answer you before but I've not been online for a couple of days my cycle is between 28 - 34 days I find that if I'm stressed it's more likely to be 34 days, I've been keeping a chart over the last 8 months but this is only our fourth month trying. I used my ov stick yesterday and got no line and today I have a very faint line, so I'll start the bd'ing tonight, couldn't last night cause I was out. I am getting a bit of tenderness on the right side and a bit of cramping, but haven't had any ewcm and this is only CD12 so it can't be ov pains (I hope). I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Thanks for the welcomes and for adding me to the list

Mintchoc- I was an early tester except it disheartened me so much I have now finally managed to learn from experience and not test until after AF is due... So the past 2 cycles haven't used a HPT at all, and glad I didn't waste the money on them either... But it is hard and I'm sure if I'd had any in the house it would have been very tempting. I'm lucky though that at the moment my cycle is around 26 days so I don't have that long to wait each month, I think it must be a lot harder when you have a 30+ day length cycle. Good luck with the wait!

Has anyone used the clearblue OPKs? I've never used any OPKs but thinking of doing so this cycle. But I've read on MN of lots of probs with the eBay cheapies so was thinking of shelling out on clearblue ones just as a one-off this month. Do you think it's worth it? Usually I just go on cm (usually get a few days of EWCM which I assume are indicative of ovulation, usually between CD10-14) but would like to know more precisely when I ovulate as don't get pains etc...

hello girls

day after tomorrow will be my 2WW so I'm feeling a little nervous now,will get one last BD in tonight ,then we can get back to just for fun

I have always conceived in the first month or so before ,so think I will be here for a while as dont think i will be that lucky for a 4th time,fingers crossed

hope you are all well and we get more BFP's soon

Hi All,

Bubblebell - 2WW going OK. No symptoms to speak of, although very grumpy with DH but then that's pretty normal .

Am determined not to test early this time. Had a 38 day cycle last month and got my hopes up of +result, so going to try to hold out for a fortnight this time.

Hi Jumping Jellyfish.

stealth, have just seen your post - CONGRATULATIONS! brilliant news!

Hello all!

Haven't been on this thread for a while...get a bit confused with the threads but recognising names now

I know the 'not in the mood' feeling Bubble, feeling that myself...which is a shame as DH will be away all next week, weather permitting, as usual at the perfect time of the month for ttc

Hope to hear more BFP's soon girls,
