This is going to be our month:) Come join me in the quest for motherhood!

[alien06]

hey peeps :0)

I have been TTC for 3 months now to no avail, no idea why not, as am very healthy, fit and SWI at the 'right' times.
Getting slightly stressed as everyone around me is preggers or recently had a little one, which I am happy about but it seems to be happening to people that have/do all the things that everybody says to avoid having/doing!

I shall begin a list:)

Thanks goldmaple! I'm due in 3 or so days. If I'm late, I'll test. But I can't let myself become a serial tester again. Trying for 4 years with DD1 and testing repeatedly drove me insane and damn near destroyed my marriage. I cannot do that again. I think I'll have to set a rule - NOT to test until at least a week late!

Hey everyone, sorry been away but had dreaded OFSTED at school this week !! talk about stressed!

anyway no AF for me yet , but think the stress may be the reason for it! however my bbs are very tender and I swear that the areola bit looks bigger?! but that may just be me imagining it lol I am sure that AF is just around the corner for moi :( did couple of poas over the last couple of days and all negative :( oh well hopefully AF will come and then I can start using my CBFM and track my cycle :)

hope everyone is well
x

Any news yet alien? Very at your CBFM. Think I might get one for myself in a cycle or two (waiting because they are expensive).

annie are you late yet? Hope so!

Almost time to SWI here, so getting excited!!

Hi all, any news from anyone?

Well the day 21 bloods agree that I didn't ovulate (or that I hadn't by day 15 anyway).

Have an appt for 5th nov so hopefully fingers crossed for next month.

Good luck with the CBFM alien, I have a Persona which is very similar, just the sticks are so damn expensive :)

Hi all - went to a wedding this weekend and got drunk... again... But anyway AF is due tomorrow so I'm willing it not to bother. I've got sore boobs and I lay in bed for an hour feeling dog-sick last night. Don't want to get too hopeful though.

I think that most of these stats are not right as some of these must either have their AF or BFP by now - my fingers are crossed for the latter!

alien how did it go then? I got my feedback - I got a 3. FUMING! And cryed a lot of course...

Still no AF, but did a test yesterday and BFN. Now I am getting crampy so obviously no luck this month.

Hi all,

Just updating the stats as AF got me!

Oh dear AnnieBeansmum and Suffering, it looks like we've e-syncronised!

How is everyone? Any news? This is such a ribbish bit of the cycle...

No news really. Have started charting though this month. Im going to see if this helps.

Sorry to hear about AF annie and suffering Hope this cycle is lucky for all of us!

Lots of EWCM here! So hopefully am going to ovulate this month! Going to pounce on DH tomorrow (he is gone tonight)

6DPO for me! No signs except I felt slightly sick this morning (was out late last night so maybe just tired!)

Thinking of POAS next sat... that will be 12DPO or should I just wait until AF is due? Don't want the disapointment of a BFN

Hi everyone
New to all this but like everyone here hoping to conceive this month.
Only second month off pill but AF came back straight away so heres hoping might happen this month! not v patient!

Hi all,

now onto CD43 guess they were right about the Clomid not working!

No signs of AF.

Got drs appt on Friday so another round of Norethiserone followed by higher dose of Clomid looks on the cards.

I'm not going to attempt everyones stats :)

THIS will be our month

That's the right attitude giraffe!! I hope the higher dose of clomid works for you!

Hi witches! Welcome to the beach! If you post your stats I will add them to the list!

Hi Goldmaple, Hmm how do i work out my stats? sorry new to all this! any help appreciated!

Stats go like this:

TTC# - trying to conceive # what?
UCL - usual cycle length
Cycle # - how many cycles have you been trying
CCD - cycle day

DPO - days past ovulation.

I am 11DPO and bfn. don't think its too early so... will keep hoping for no reason:)

Hi Witches - I agree with you and Giraffe, this is DEFO going to be our month!

Gold did you make a decision about whether to wait or to go for it 12DPO?

Ok this could turn into a TMI question but I have to ask it - what daft strategies are you all using to increase the chances of your BD being successful?

hi all,
room for one more?

new to the forums, have just started trying, just stopped taking the pill, but can't wait to have a baby!

also a teacher (nursery) so surrounded by little ones all day! making me so broody!

purple I POAS today... BFN:( no symptoms really, except my nose has been stuffy but I think I go through this every month.

Daft things I do:) - make DH go on top (best position), lay down for 5 mins after SWI (supposed to be 30mins), try to SWi everyday during fertile period, and go very easy on lube because it kills sperm.

Lets hear everyone else's!

Hi monkey - nice to meet you! I always wondered whether working with nursery kids all day would put people off having babies - but obviously not!

Gold sorry about the BFN but you've still got 4 days left to go so keep the fingers and legs crossed!

My daft things are pretty similar to yours - except we limit our SWI to every other day because I heard that it gives better quality swimmers. I always do the bum-on-a-pillow afterwards but me and DH have long debates about whose pillow to use (I usually win ).

Funny thing the other day - I had read that you should put your legs in the air and do cycling movements with them... well I'm not sure that it worked but it had us in stitches!
