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

Can I ask a personal question please - has anyone suffered tearing first time round and if so, were you able to have normal delivery for the next baby?

Wizzy I bought a load of Ovulation predictor sticks from this site £11.50 for 50. They are a few instructions on the back of each sachet, but they were out of stock of full instructions when I ordered. However I've kind of worked out how to use them from all the helpful hints on MN. I can't say if they work as I won't start using them for a couple of days but will let you know how I get on. I've never used them before as my ds & dd were conceived very quickly, but this time round things are taking a little longer so I'm looking for a bit of reassurance that I am actually ovulating. As you say, maybe see how you get on this month before getting too technical.

In which Case i'll try the list again.

Think I've got it right

I've just come home from work and logged on and the responses to DevilsAdvocaat's q's have really enlightened me - never thought much about ewcm before but will be keeping my eyes peeled later in the month.

I haven't bought an ov kit, mainly because we've only recently started trying so I thought I'd give it until the end of this month before I do. Any kits better than others? They seem quite pricey so I'd appreciate a recommendation if poss...

Hate having AF - just devoured considerable amount of DD's white chocolate from xmas so now feeling guilty and kinda queasy (serves me right!)

hello to MrsD and fatandiknowit

girlwithacurl,

Ralphie

Cycle is how many cycles (eg. I have a 27 day cycle and I have been trying for 4 of them - so since October basically)

CD is Cycle day - so I am CD1 because my cycle started today

Is that what you meant?

Hello! Cycle is number of months trying and CD is calender day, ie. number of days since AF. I am using ov sticks as have been trying for nearly a year now. like pinkie also using fertility friend and the Deanna plan, although I have modified it as I have a long cycle and tend to ov on CD21... if i started OPK's on CD10 that would be alot of POAS, and it can get addictive you know

i mean in the list on this thread...

ok thanks for the deanna link!

last qu, honest guv:

what does cycle mean? number of months trying?

Hi all!
I'm on a couple of ttc threads, hope you don't mind me adding myself to yours!!

Good luck and lots of babydust!

Hi devilsadvocat

They say thay your best chances are before ovulation, the 3days running up to it and the day of ov are good.

Alot of people have been following the the deanna plan which outlines best timing etc.

I have also been charting on fertilityfriend which gives the best days and charts your info for you.

Hope that helps

thanks for all your responses.
i hope we have lots of pg people on this thread soon

what is the best day to have sex in regards to your ov? is it on the ov day?

Hi Devil, I've just started using ovulation sticks this month. DP works away a lot at the moment and I thought it would be useful to know when I ovulate so we can try to get together at the best times if possible. I'm also hoping that it will stop me getting too excited (then really disappointed) the months we don't manage but thats probably hoping for too much.

I only started doing ov tests as we were trying for a while with no joy and the first month I did an ov test I fell pregnant.

It's just a great way to know the best times to get giggy!

Come someone please explain what cycle and CD is please? TCC #1

haha, thanks littlemiss.
ok another qu: do you all do ov tests? if you do is it because you have had problems conceiving?

by the way please ignore me if i'm being too nosey or insensitive.

well last night was a little strange

we both could not be bothered BD but knew we had to,DH said because he knew it took him a looooong time
he said i'm putting to much pressure on him,in a good way though,well i'll keep up with the BD for a few more days then ill have a rest ,hope you are all well will post longer after college

i don't wait for a specific day, but i do it the day of positive ov test and then the 48 hours after that guaranteed. The rest of the month its for fun

can i just ask you all a question? do you wait until a specific day to do the bd or do you just go for it as often as you can manage?!

last time we just did a lot of bd, i wasn't counting days or anything.
