Beanies, bumps and bikinis (all by next August please) :)

New, combined thread. Welcome all!

CD24 here, 10dpo, and somehow still hanging on with no AF yet. Luteal phase approaching normal, and I'm over the moon about it.

I still daren't even think that I might get that BFP this month, with my cycle being on entirely new ground, plus only one BD in the right time-frame.

DH came home from California yesterday, and I'm so pleased to have him home again. He's dreadfully jetlagged poor love - he woke up at 1.30am this morning convinced it was time to get up!

It's now only two and a half weeks until we head off on holiday together - 2 weeks in the sun in Florida, and I can't wait If I don't get pregnant this cycle I can at least console myself with some rides on the roller coasters over there

Hugs,
Artoo.

Evening ladies - thanks fo rthe kind words - I know you are all right, but you know how it is! This will be our 6th month of 'trying' but probably only been the last 4 with BD at right time! On day 24 or 25 (really should write it down!) so AF due next monday as usually have 30 or 31 day cycle. Should be 9 or 10 dpo, so could test soon, but will wait to see if AF shows first! Got really large boobs which are now starting to ache - but trying not to read too much into that!
Good luck for all those due to test soon - we need some BFP's!!!

hello ladies, hope everyone is ok.

the party is for about 75, dh has a big family and im dreading it all, got way too much to do and now dd has really bad teeth pain and a bum that looks like iv poured boiling water over her, poor lamb!!! she has spent all day with her nappy off peeing on my carpet or in the bath with salt in the water!!!

right anyway god knows whats going on here, dh has gone out somewhere and doesnt look like bding will be happening for a while as dh is in a strop as i only want him to make babies! and that could last for weeks, oh well maybe next month

Hi, couldn't believe it after all this waiting couldn't find my thermameter to start temping!! Try and get one tonight on the way to Uni. just be 3 days late temping so hopefully won't miss to much.

Started drinking a glass of grapefruit juice a day as I believe someone mentioned it being good for conceiving? Is this right as I hate the stuff!!

Dan and jersey, i'll will post the news as soon as i know myself.
Homemama i'm ok thanks for asking,

I'm abit confused with what i am feeling, not had any nausea since yesterday morning but still have a wierd taste in my mouth here and there, still having wierd achey like feelings down below and it just feel different, chest ever so slightly tender and larger. who knows, will just wait to see if af shows her ugly face probably me imagining it all.I ddo have a early response pg test in the house so may test this weekend if i get any signals. I'll stop boring you all with the details now.

Stacey 75! ghosh i bet your a busy bee, but it will be worth it, hope you have got the caterers in hehe, how is your dd nappy rash?, have you taken her to the dr in to check if it could be thrush?

Jersey not heard of the grapefruit juice thing before so i'm no help sorry.

xx

Hi Jersery... I heard the grapefruit juice helps to produce more cervical mucus. I've started drinking it as well. (hate it - may stick with the fruit itself)

Well, AF arrived today

Anyone got any tips for OPKs that can be used first thing in the morning? The brand I used this month recommended being used between 11am and 8pm, and that didn't suit me at all. DH and I are going on holiday to Florida in 2 weeks, and I won't be able to temp as my body clock will be all over the place.

Hugs,
Artoo.

AF is here, 1 day early
I cannot believe how disappointed I am this month. I think it's because it's the first month we've really tried and cause it happened so easily last time.
Taking a break til Christmas now to avoid hyperemisis over the festivities But I'll pop in to say hi!

Good luck to everyone! BTW, I thought it was pineapple juice, Jersey?

homemama- def grapefruit juice!

sorry about the afs- gosh almost everyone got her at the same time- lets hope for me BFP next month!

Artoo- i ve tried loads of opks- they all say between 11 and 3ish- i think this is the optimum time for the surge to show- morning wee will give you a false +....

sorry to hear about all the AFs sounds like you are all synchronizing.

Homemama, baaaah !! Really sorry to hear it. I was so hopeful for you this month.

Sorry too Artoo, at least you managed to get your blood tests done, before she turned up. And you can enjoy all the rollercoasters . Hope you have a fantastic time!!

the legs in the air for 20 minutes worked for us!!!

Pillow and legs in the air worked for us first time around! Anything to help them on their way.

Have a good time in Florida, Artoo.

under bum if I remember right!

Have been trying pillow technique and lying still for 20 mins after sex - but no joy yet
Haven't tried grapefruit juice yet but do eat half a grapefruit every morning - anyone know if that's supposed to do the same thing or if you need more juice?
Everyone at work and home seems to be beating me to it but I'm sure I'll get there in the end...have been trying since Feb and no joy yet but others have been going much longer so I really feel for you all who have been as I'm practically climbing the walls already!
AF is here today with a vengeance so am off work hunched over the computer (could do that at work I suppose but don't want to risk my new painkillers making me drowsy as it's quite a long drive).

just thought id pop in and say hi to everyone think af is about to show up today or tomorrow at latest feeling tell tale low ache in my tum, but at least i can start again proprerly (my last af lasted four weeks so was all over the place) anyway hope everyone is good and looking forward to the weekend good luck to all testers xxxx

Just thought i would pop in to say 'Hi' haven't had much to say. CD14 (I think) should be bd but DH hasn't been very well. He is feeling better today though so hopefully we'll be able to get some in.
My Persona arrived yesterday so i am looking forward to trying it out next cycle.
Hope you are getting on ok with yours Norm.

I'm sorry about all of the AFs that have arrived.
To those who are due for testing i wish you lots of luck.

Hope you all have a great weekend J
