Good luck to everyone! I've started charting this month, hoping it will help :)

Im pretty lazy but find ff ok. I couldnt be bothered reading all the emails they sent out.Just had a very quick read of how to get started. Take my temp each morning. After a couple of days its just rountine. I find it less stressfull. Its always nice to see on screen that you have ov and I find I can feel a bit more relaxed in the 2ww because I know I have ov and that that part is working ok rather than wondering if I definetly did. Although still hate the 2ww. Also my temp drops on day af comes so even if it comes in the evening I know in the morning. Its horrible on that day otherwise when you keep checking every time you go to the loo and each time you have nothing you come a little bit more convinced this might be your month and then af to comes in the evening. FF makes me feel abit more in control

Bah. Only managed to have the sort of sex that would lead to getting pregnant once and I don't think the timing was right really...Feeling a bit grumpy about that, and not really helped by the news that an old school friend is pregnant accidentally. I've been pregnant myself accidentally...how on earth do we manage it?

It only takes one time Rosie. Everyone around me seems to be pregnant at the moment too, which I'm happy for them about, just hope I'll join them soon. It's ironic how you spend years trying to avoid getting pregnant then some struggle when they want it more than anything

Twobecomethree

My best mate for 36 yrs has been very careful about not getting anyone preggers only to find out once he had got married and started trying that a case of mumps he had when he was 12 killed all his swimmers. And now cant have kids.

I feel so sorry for him. [hsad]

So - I think I am past my OV dates, so now into the dreaded 2 week wait. I am impressed that people are much more systematic in their monitoring. I wake up several times throughout the night, which I think undermines any Basel temperature monitoring (although not tried though) and the cheapie OV sticks I bought off EBay had to go into pee that had cooled down - after 10 am : not really an option at the office!!! Anyone else come across these??

Anyhow, just been sh@gging every other day since day 7 and every day from day 11 so fingers crossed now :). If this is not successful then we start IUI next month, so quite nervous.

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good weekend.

How many of us are into the 2ww now, must be a good few?

fretfree Well done on all that shagging! Hubby and I just had a 3 day bonking fest last week when I had EWCM, I know that's not really the way to go about it but it was fun. Fingers X'd for you for this month.

SO, I'm also into the 2ww and going quietly mental. I'm now aprox 6DPO and although I was doing ok days 1-5, I'm starting to feel the strain now and very conscious that there are some HPT's burning a hole in my bathroom cabinet! PLEASE SAVE ME FROM TESTING EARLY.
Last month was a nightmare, went through about 6 tests before AF appeared. I had SO many pregnancy-like symptoms though....I'm trying really hard not to do it this month. It's very hard not to though isn't it?
muckyHC that's a very sad story about your friend - I hope he finds a way to have some children, it must be very difficult.

If anyone does want to indulge in some shameless symptom spotting, I'm all ears....!

MuckyHC that's rubbish news for your friend, I hope that they've come to terms with it ok and found a resolution.

So I've only just started using FF this week and according to my previous "chart" (based on last few cycles where I've been using ov sticks and length) I'm not due to ovulate for another 6-8 day, but I definitely have had EWCM for last few days but ov sticks don't show that I'm oving yet so bit confused. Decided we should swi anyway but not sure we'll be able to keep it up for 2-3 weeks!! Has anyone else found those ov sticks accurate?

Martha - know how you feel, last month I was convinced I had 3 or 4 really positive symptons - I'm on this bus so you've obviously figured how wrong I was then!! What are your symptons? Just another eternity week to wait for you - I'll keep my fx.

I just picked up 60 ov sticks from amazon. Not meant to ov for another two weeks but swear FF is giving me cm signs.

2become3 Yes, I had some very convincing morning sickness last month - I was absolutely certain that I was pregnant. I still wonder if it was possibly a very early ending chemical pregnancy - not strong enough to get a positive....

Not really any symptoms yet this month except when DS is BF I get very very painful nipples - I think this happens around ov time but not sure why they would be so sore now.

I also started FF this weekend. I'm really not sure how I'm going to go with it because DS is a rubbish sleeper so it will be difficult to temp given that I rarely get three consecutive hours at regular times. Also, I think BF can interfere with your temps but not sure how. Anyone have any experience of this?

Colleen 60! a good deal?

On amazon they are only £9 I have the pregancy tests too (kind you have to use a cup) friend swears by them and a lot cheaper than the ones in shops. For the price I am going to give them a two month trial will keep you posted

good afternoon ladies :) can I join you? Bringing a basket full of chocolate and some drinks!! I"m Luce and have a boy who'll be 5 this month.
Stopped the pill in October 09 and started TTC number 2. after few cicles I realized that my periods were really weird and I had the feeling I wasn't ovulating at all. Kept going back and forth to the GP to try and get her to send me to have some tests done to check my hormones.well, to keep a long story short, after loads of arguing I was offered some Clomid and also sent for some checks and it turned out that I had a growth on my pituiatiry gland that wasn't making me ovulate so in Feb this year I was finally put on drugs to shrink it and get me prolactine levels down to right levels. I've been tempting for the past 4 cycle and things seem to be back to normal now.
So,good luck to us all and looking forward to getting to know you all!

espout, Imustbecrazy, piglet how are you doing?

Hi Luce I'm glad that you have sorted out what the problem could be - it must be very hard no knowing. I really hope that these new drugs do the trick for you and that this is your bus!

Welcome Luce and best of luck this month!

Hello chaps. Period arrived, not entirely unexpectedly. I had a chance of a great job come up mid-cycle so DH and I decided to hold off trying for a few days until I knew whether I'd got it. I didn't and missed all my prime fertile shagging opportunities. Bah.

So I've parked my arse on the back seat of this bus as my next cycle could still be Destination April...

Hiya everyone hope you dont mind me updating the list with my stats. I joined another April bus but think everyone is gathering on this one now. I'm 27 ttc#2 have a DD who is 2 came off pill in march and nto had a period yet so no idea when AF is due. I also had a subtotal thyroidectomy back in november but not on any medication so hoping this will not be a problem with ttc. i have been taking cheapie tests regularly as i dont know when af is due. Hopefully this is the month for all us lovely ladies :)

Morning all. Just started my ov tests off of amazon. So far so good and only took two days on free delivery. Have 60 tests so going to try them daily til AF or hopefully no AF :)

Good morning, I'm now 5 days into the 2ww. Not a single symptom to report so far. Still no signs that I'm not pregnant either so still hoping. How is everyone else doing with the symptom spotting? Anyone testing yet? I wonder who will get the first BFP?

Running for the bus! Can I jump on please? AF arrived last Thursday and kicked me off the March bus, so I'm a little bit late to this one.

Ovulation should be some time next week (annoyingly doesn't fit with our mini holiday at the end of this week)

Colleen and twobecomethree I got the cheapy Amazon OV tests last month and they worked for me. I got a very faint line which means negative, then (finally!) a couple of days with a strong line. That said... I didn't get pg last month despite lots of SWI after I got the positive OV result, so maybe they are wrong!!

Hiya all
spout bummer. That must have been a very, very hard decision to make deciding whether or not to SWi this month. Fresh month, fresh start - you going to try anything different this month (apart from the obvious.....)
Laura welcome to this bus - I was wondering if that other bus was going tandem or what! Hopefully this is your month, or at least that AF turns up soon so you know where you stand.
colleen where abouts in your cycle are you now? Any other signs of ov?
not in my kitchen No real symptoms for me yet - I'm now 9DPO aprox.

Actually, I kind of have the feeling that AF is going to arrive. I have that heavy, achy feeling really low down. I'm extremely bloated and feel disgusting in general. If I could I would curl up with some dodgy tv and eat nutella straight out of the jar....I think AF is def on the way.
Actually I hope it holds of a little bit because a 9 day luteal phase would be a bit too short for me.

Should I test tomorrow?
NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!.....should I?
smack me someone....

hola, me again. my old stats appeared in an updated list so have adjusted. I'll be otherwise

Hey martha my cycle has been anywhere from 28 to 48 days. Have a ov bloodtest on the 25th (and other tests) but hoping to track the next two monthes with the cheap ov tests. That and the faithful every other day bedantics which my DH has been so supportive in joining me :p TBH I know it sounds naive but it's been great in lifting our spirits and instead of feeling stressed I just feel a bit more perky.

Hey minipie sorry the results weren't a BFP, are you still using the tests?
