**********March 2010 Bus*********** TTC for March 2010, Join me....

Thanks NancyPreg - I do have a willing man...but not always an able willing man . DH gets serious stage fright around the time of ov (we've been trying too long, and both want it so desperately!)....poor DH :-(

Hi Nancy!

Pretty much tried that! haha

nanoo I've read those theories that state that position is pertinent if you want one gender or the other but apart from that, I think all you really need is:

1. a fertile willing woman
2. a fertile willing man
3. plenty of bd around the window of ovulation

So that would be 20 days of solid BDing!!! - anyone know if if BD positions really matter for conception??

beanmum and NewMember - how about bd every day from CD6 through to CD 26

That would pretty much cover all options!!

Good luck for your BFPs!

Hi Nancy

I OV around day 11 I think - my Luteal phase is about 13 days i think!

Thanks everyone Nancypreg - never charted my ovulation before so don't know when I ovulate. Guess with a 25 day cycle it could be earlier than I think, but think we were pretty thorough this month! I never knew how very lucky I was to conceive ds without having to try!

Good luck to the rest of you - looking forward to lots more BFPs!

Noooooo, that sucks beanmum and no wonder you are disappointed. Do you ovulate particularly early in your cycle, for example, before CD13? I have a friend who conceived her DC2 on CD11 of her cycle (UCL26) so perhaps you are ovulating sooner than you think??

newmember it's great that you are detecting your LH surge but I've read that this is no guarantee of ovulation. However, you know your own body so if you are sure that you are ovulating, then that is good. On the other hand, do you know which CD you ovulate? Is your luteal phase at least 10 days long?

Oh Beanmum sorry to hear that. Hope its third cycle lucky for you x

oh i hope there are enough BFPs for the rest of us!!! teeny im on 7dpo so pretty much same timeframe as you and trying not to symptom spot!!! have been mage thirsty and peeing loads (though i have been drinking loads... ) and have been really gassy . i am due to test on sunday if i have a 12 lp, or tues for a 14lp. DH wants me to hold out til the following sunday as its my birthday! i think ill go bonkers by then!!!

Hello everyone - what a stunning day!

Ok ... I am looking for a bit of advice! We are now going into our 7th month of TTC - almost our 4th month using the CBFM!

Over the last few months I have BD every night covering the before/druring/after OV - last month I think we BD 8 nights in a row!

Hmmmmmm - still nothing!

So, should I change it this month and do night on, night off? Running out of ideas! I must def be OV as my montior is picking up the surge!

Help!

I'm out... AF has paid me a visit on CD 23, wwhich I think is a bit much - perhaps another early loss or else she just really has it in for me this month. My cycle is usually on the short side, but regular as clockwork.

V disappointed, but have added myself to bottom of the list - have to pull myself together for Cycle 3. Onwards!

Big congrats to the two latest BFP graduates!!

It's a glorious day today and the rest of the week is forecast to be sunny too.

teeny it's too early for me to symptom spot yet but that's not to say that I won't be doing so soon...

littleonemum perhaps wait until the end of tthe week before giving into temptation? Good luck for whenever you test anyway!

Just filled up our paddling pool so going to enjoy the sunshine now.

I'm jumping on board the bus. Wait for me.

Hold off LittleOneMum! I will keep my fingers crossed for you and Floweringcurrant for 2 more BPFs on Friday

I am now 6 DPO and symptom spotting galore, anyone else out there doing the same? Today it is stomach cramps (caused by last night's dodgy kebab no doubt!) and a sudden improvement in my hayfever despite the sun having his hat on

Thanks... will try to resist a bit longer!

Beanmum - thanks. Roll on Friday for us then!
Littleone - sorry I can't help with advise there. Good Luck to you too

Congrats on the 3 BFPs!!!

A question, if you please, ladies.

I don't usually test until my AF is due. it's due on Sunday. Would it be ludicrous to test now?

Chemical pregnancy = when egg fertilises but doesn't implant properly. Which means that if you test early, you can get a positive (which I did x2) followed a couple of days later by a negative, hotly pursued by AF. Before early testing kits you wouldn't even have been aware anything had happened, of course, but was so disappointed last month am determined not to try early this time.

Sorry for your loss, floweringcurrant Hope this will be your month.

Beanmum - If I dont get AF thurs I will possibly test Friday too. I am not strong so much as nervous of a neg. (had mmc at 12 weeks early April) Do you mind me asking what is a chemical pregnancy?

Excellent! Congratulations to all 3 BFPs - that's so cheering!

Same boat as you, floweringcurrant- AF expected Thu, it's been symptoms a-go-go for a week or so, but steeling myself to hold off testing til Friday after a chemical pregnancy last month... Aaaargh!

Wow! All of a sudden 3 BFPs. So exciting. Congratulations Girls !!!
AF due Thursday too nervous to test.

Wow, a lot has happened overnight! Congratulations to the three BFPs!!!
