Broody, that did make me laugh a little, I cant imagine it has that much of an impact. Have you consulted Dr Google? I presume the book is a worst case scenario situation but who knows?! Ive seen some random things on these threads but never that one!! My AF has practically disappeared today, my body is actually useless!!! argghhhh!! However tomorrow is my Friday so swings and roundabouts!!

broodysnoopstie · 15/04/2014 07:45

Happy Friday Wood ;-) ... Dr Google agrees it says saliva like ordinary lube kills swimmers but plenty of people have gotten bfps even though they had oral. I guess it's just reducing chances by reducing swimmer numbers!

Apparently when I'm not on hormonal contraception I turn into a nympho :| contraception had killed my sex drive but now it's back yippee! My poor fiancé is tired out though hahaha

woodwaj · 16/04/2014 11:35

Haha good for you broody. Well 2 hour delay on my appointment was in the room for a total of 3 mins he said he wants to wait till August as thats 2 years of trying but officially 1 since ovulation if no luck by then he will test my tubes but said it is unlikely they are blocked and a period is a no matter whether its a couple of days and heavy or light!! Waste of sunshine! Next appointment 27th August!

Hi Ladies,

Is this thread for TTC #1 only, or those TTC #2 allowed to grab a chair?

Don't mean to gate crash :)

woodwaj · 16/04/2014 16:45

broodysnoopstie · 16/04/2014 22:56

Morning I think I'm getting sick temp is up got a runny nose sore throat etc feel knackered! typical as dp and I have loads of plans over the long weekend. Hmm also as I am new to temping do any of you know if I shouldn't enter my high temp when its due to poorlyness into my apps?

sleepisforthetired · 17/04/2014 10:11

thanks Easter Grin

I have one DS (3 years), we agreed to try for a second last year, but only really been trying "properly" more recently.

Trying not to get to worked up about things, but not at all easy! Company would great - was on a thread last time, and it was nice to have the support of others looking for TTC as all going through similar things, and having similar stresses :)

woodwaj · 17/04/2014 10:28

Broody im not sure but can you makes notes on your app? Sorry your feeling rubbish :(

I have only just got up some loser woke me up at 7am mowing the lawn! Who does that?!

How long did it take for you to conceive DS1 1 Sleep?

Vicky - where are you? You know I worry when you don't update Easter Wink

What are you up to this weekend one? We are a bit skint so no exciting plans :(

sleepisforthetired · 17/04/2014 12:19

It took over 6 cycles where I definitely ovulated. It took longer than 6 cycles if that makes sense.

My body was (and possibly still is?) guilty of cycles where I don't ovulate, so I "removed" these cycles from counting (yup, accept this is a bit loopy, pretending I didn't have 70 day cycle at one point, or months where no confirmation on OPK's!) - but made me feel better at the time.

back in 2010 - I had just started the ball rolling with tests at GP's to see if there was more to it as had been pill free for longer than we had been trying and the month after I got my BFP.

It was just "our month". We did nothing different than any other. Only difference was I had blood results to say nothing up with hormone levels! I would need to look up exactly what was tested, but was several things to rule out any obvious reasons).

Due to one reason and another, if BFN this month, I will be making a GP appointment to see if they can check for cysts, and also do a blood test to check all ok. I have avoided OPK's although tempted to use them again, so really just trying "going with the flow" based on cycle dates.

I tried temping last time round, but definitely not for me Easter Grin

Fleurlur · 17/04/2014 22:06

My temp is all over the bloody place and I keep forgetting to do it haha im rubbish! But not ttc this month, it's just more to see if I'm ovulating yet or not.

I'm working 12 hour shifts all bank holiday weekend booooo.

NurseyJay · 18/04/2014 16:57

Not been on here for a bit, but have just caught up...

Broody I hope ur feeling a bit better??
Fleur Oral contraceptives also killed my libido.... but now I'm off it, I think I'm making up for it too :p
Sleep Hiyaaaa n welcome :)
One Lol-ing at the 'pinch of salt' comment...
Wood Roll on end of Aug... :/

I'm still in the 2ww... Think I'm meant to get AF sun... I usually get spotting for a few days prior to AF, but none yet... also got sore nips, which I dnt usually get (not boobs tho if that makes sense)... n no period pain.... all v strange.
Not dtd much this month as been on opposite shifts to DH. But did manage to do it a coupla times on the run up to ov. Hopefully thats done the job. Lol.

broodysnoopstie · 19/04/2014 09:40

Hello yes feeling better thanks there is also a lovely spike on my chart of high temps which have come back down now.

I'm fed up of waiting for a bfp or af now. Expecting one or the other on weds which will be cd 78!!! If neither turns up I'll be at docs a week tomorrow to get period started again as it'll be approaching 3 months since last bleed! Shock

Sorry no time to read back, v quick check in from me - i'm off on my hols with dh - right over my coming up to ov week - wish us luck!!

Hope everyone is good and eating loads of eggs (of the choc variety clearly!)

Happy Easter and see you all soon x

broodysnoopstie · 19/04/2014 11:07

NurseyJay · 20/04/2014 01:10

So its now officially sunday and AF is due... I had a teeny bit of spotting yesterday, but only wen I wipe (sorry tmi)... I'm thinking I'm probs out for this month as spotting isn't a good sign for being pregnant (is it even a sign this late kn in my cycle??)... i'm now CD30 and usually have 29-31 day cycles... I normally have spotting a good few days before AF.... Should I hang on a few days before testing?? What do you think?? I'd really appreciate some advice pls. X

woodwaj · 21/04/2014 20:37

I lost the thread! I must pay more attention!!

Sleepy - sounds like you have a good plan in place I have given up on temping and opks for now. I just cant be bothered!

Fleur sorry you had to work :( I bet you will be more accurate with your temping once you are officially ttc.

Has AF turned up for you nursey? It depends on how you feel about a negative result or AF which one would you hate to see first?

Glad you had your spike broody hopefully AF or BFP won't be too far behind

Onelife hope you have a brilliant weekend away and had lots of chance to dtd!

Hope you all had a happy easter and had lots of chocolate!

I sent vicky a message a couple of days ago hoping she is ok!!

NurseyJay · 21/04/2014 21:34

Not had to worry about doing a test the bitch AF has turned up... :(

broodysnoopstie · 22/04/2014 10:41

well here I am CD 77 and I'm bleeding. Finally. I'm kind of relieved to be on CD1 again!
