Its strange when you want to, they don't. when they do, you don't!

Aiming for some bding tonight if DS will go to sleep! Temp dropped slightly this morning but that could be due to getting up with DS during the night. But just in case better get some practise in .

staceym11 · 26/10/2005 15:15

well atm im soooo tired that dh had to get up with dd this morning as i went to bed at 10 last night and didnt wake up when she screamed this morning at half 7, god knows why. anyway last night was a no no for bd and now hes in a huff, god i dont understand men! lol

anyway, think im the furthest ahead with cd 18 but doubt this month will be the one.

hows everybody else feeling??

jersey · 26/10/2005 15:19

Hi Stacey impatient already and only on first cycle, now did I get through 4 last time!!

Mind you a friend at work (the only one who knew we where TTC) said if I hadn't got preg when I did she would have been screaming!! .

I'm afraid this time mumsnet is going to get it instead.

staceym11 · 26/10/2005 15:56

well iv never done this ttc lark before and im probably the most impatient person you'll meet, so dont mind me whinging on about it! lol just dh gets fed up of all the ttc convo!

milosmum · 26/10/2005 16:08

i know what you mean jersey! my dh finds it rather odd bding on demand- but then again so do i. We took a break of 3mths from ttc to get us back into the right frame of mind- it can be bloody hard. i thought men wanted it all the time !!!??!?!?

staceym11 · 26/10/2005 16:17

lol my dh generally does unless i mention making a baby then he goes all shy and doesnt want it anymore

Artoo · 26/10/2005 16:28

I'm CD7, looks like I'm going to be fertile this month whilst we're on the plane to Florida, so this might be another write-off month (I don't really fancy joining the Mile-High club!). Ordered some more OPKs yesterday so I have a nice large stock

Hugs,
Artoo.

Hi all CD19 here & into the 2ww also bd late so probably not much chance.

Had my reflexology on Sat. The lady who does it is a Breast Care Nurse but she used be a Fertility Nurse, She said that she had never heard of using Grapefruit (although i have noticed a diff) but apparently Benilyn Cough Mixture had been reported by ladies when she used to measure their cm. Will try that next month.

Bit busy this week with half term & i'm taking over from Stacey in the Birthday Party Organising. It DD's on Sun but she is having a party on Sat for about 50 5 year olds.

Sorry for all those who have had AFs arrive.

Take Care
J

staceym11 · 26/10/2005 21:22

oh jag good luck with the birthday party, my heart gos out to you! lol

im bored dh watching football, just been sitting planning our move for next year! hehe i so excited, will be so nice to have a place of our own.

Going to need the luck Stacey Thanks.

Norms - about day 14 i think but everyone is so different. Don't forget that the sperm can live for a few days too.

jane313 · 27/10/2005 20:57

I got a smiley face on my opk on day 12 and the next months on day 14 (it means you are supposed to ovulate within the next 24-48 or maybe 36 hrs) so varies each month.

af due on mon or tues so am over anaylsing every twinge in my body.

Charlee · 27/10/2005 21:02

Hi god i havent posted here for so long im sure only a few of you remember me! but i have been lurking and watching you all! still nothing exciting on the baby front here. good luck to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

jersey · 28/10/2005 08:37

Can anyone confirm CM signs for me? On CD10 and this morning have CM that looks like raw egg white (sorry TMI), does this mean I should ovulate soon? Temp has risen very slightly, not enough for ovulation rise. Unfortunately been up most of the night with a screaming child so that could have messed up my temps!

Micku5 · 28/10/2005 08:42

Hi Jersery, I hope this site helps .

jersey · 28/10/2005 08:45

Thanks Micku5 think I am fertile for next few days. Typical next few days are in a caravan with the inlaws!!!!!

Micku5 · 28/10/2005 08:47

lol Jersey...

Micku5 · 28/10/2005 08:49

Reminded me that DH always vetos sleepovers for my sister when we are ttc. (she lives with us)

Jen1209 · 28/10/2005 19:48

Sorry to butt in but I have still been lurking here for the last little while (now 7 + 2) and just had to say hi to Charlee!!!

homemama · 28/10/2005 20:09

hope everyone else is ok, fingers crossed for everyone!! think im cd 20 today so think im in the waiting period now!

JAG123 · 28/10/2005 20:21

Hi All

Welcome back to Charlee hope your move went ok & you are enjoying life in a new country.

Jen Hope you & your Bump are well.

I've got a scan on Monday because of the stitch pains i've been getting the last few months. Hopefully it will just be scar tissue or something like that. AF due on Wed i think not much chance this month as bd late. No symtoms either.

I wish lots of luck to those coming up to testing & happy bding to those coming up to ov

Take Care & have a Good Weekend
J

staceym11 · 30/10/2005 18:39

been quiet over weekend, hope all ok, on cd 22 so guess i just be waiting now still bding coz dh and i are tryin to be relaxed and forget about dates etc (or so he thinks) and makes him feel like it isnt on demand. feels kinda weird last few days tho, like he hitting against summit had this last month and was over a week late and doc said was prob early m/c so hopefully me beanie will stick this time!!! all s around here atm baby got her outfit for her halloween party and im delivering me avon bits tomo so will be getting lots of money in which is great! hehe!

anyway will stop nattering good luck and fingers crossed to everyone!!!!

jersey · 31/10/2005 08:31

Hi on cd13 but no sign that Ive def ovulated yet as temp hasn't risen! Used to ovulate on day 13 previous to last preg. so fingers crossed it happens tomorrow. Been bding anyway so if it happens should have a good a chance as any.

Is this normal when you first come off the pill?

Fingers crossed for those waiting, thats the worst bit for me as so impatient!!

rubles · 31/10/2005 08:37

Jersey,
In case you didn't know your temp goes up AFTER you have ov'd and by that time it is too late, so you could well be ovulating today but won't see the temp change until tomorrow. Best to keep an eye on your CM.
It sounds like you are giving yourself the best chance by bding in advance, because apparently the sperm can live for up to 5 days and it is good to have it there ready and waiting.
