You can get preggers , a lot of docs etc say to wait a month till you get a proper period.. But I think this is down to dating the pregnancy, which surely can be done at a 12 wk scan?! Personally I don't think I'd wait as I'm too impatient! Do you think you could be ovulating soon? I'm sure there's still time Smile don't worry. Just enjoy Smile feed him up and seduce him tonight Wink and good luck!

Ooh my oh will be so pleased when I tell him he gets to have all the coffee he wants aswell as dtd round the clock! He might be sad about the peas though lol.

So what's with the soy thing? I'm a vegetarian and eat lots of quorn and meat free products, do they have soy in them?

Dtd postponed to this evening! It's CD11 and my last cycle was 34 days so I think we're fine but do not want to start any later!

Will be holding in wee for hours later for my OV stick!!

Think I will have to cook up a nice curry for us tonight then get down the the seducing tonight after Grin

I have also heard that brazil nuts are good for men too.

Think im panicking that I have missed my time this month as because I have only just come off the pill I have no idea when I will ovulate really and what to give us a good chance by atleast dtd 3 times a week Grin

Winkle I reckon you're fine, try not to worry my dear.

Hai, yeh unfortunetly it's hard when you come off contraception, some people are really lucky little buggers who get that egg to that sperm just by looking at each other, but more often than not your body wants to regulate itself a bit first I guess. I found it really hard when you don't have a clear CD, but it will, probs next month.. No harm in trying now Wink they say every other day throughout the cycle works best.. So this is my own personal goal Smile

A quick question if anyone can answer.. I had quite a lot of pains on my ovary last night? I'm only Cd7, maybe 8, am only just getting over AF, are things starting to happen in there already?!

cookies, i have no idea, but i have heard that sometimes you can feel ovulation.
maybe u were feeling the egg start to travel, although i dont know how long your cycle is and CD8 does seem very early for ovulation.

I have found I am feeling alot more things going on in there now were ttc its very annoying Confused

Ahhhtetley · 13/03/2012 11:28

I'm just marking my place, I'm on CD 10 and I ovulate really early so we DTD last night and I'll have to work on my seducing techniques for the new few days ;)

I've got my first hospital appointment with the gyno on Thursday as we've been TTC#2 for 18 months now, but I have high hopes for this month for some reason :) fingers crossed for everyone!

Omg whats wrong with my mind, i thought when af came the symtom spotting stopped. But even tho when i stopped takin my pill i got a bleed i still "feel" pg.

My bleed was alot lighter than usual but did last 4 days, have been having headaches and fluttery feeling in tummy today.

I did miss quite a few pills in My last month and dtd at the and of my pick and missed the pill the day we dtd.
Is it posible or am i goin crazy Sad

Is it worth poas? Or would that be a waste

Welcome tetley and finbarr Smile

Tetley- lot's of seducing sounds like a very good plan, get lots in there at the ready. Masses of finger crossing for you, would be typical if you got your BFP on the month you go to the docs, it happened to a friend of mine, she had been trying for nearly 2 years, and boom! She felt a little silly but obvs v v happy. So best of luck to you.

hai
It's been a long time since I've been on the pill.. But back when i was, if i was to miss a pill or two (and I did!) i would get a mini period/heavy spotting- not as bad as AF, and although I had some naughty time I never fell pregnant. If it were me, I would POAS, but only if I had some cheapies, to put my mind at rest, but not be a waste of money, as deep down I would prob believe I wasn't, but you always hold onto that little bit of hope don't you! You deff wouldn't be alone there!

I've felt ovulation before, this wasn't as painful, I think it's just things having a bit of a rumble in that ovary beforehand, I'm going to cover all bases incase it does mean I might OV a bit earlier and just start the SWI process Smile

Evening all, nice to see some noobies Smile

Hai, if I were you I'd have POASed already, those bumper packs of internet cheapies don't last long round here!

I started bleeding today. We DTD on Saturday and last night, don't know if it's connected, too early for implantation and besides I don't think I've OVed yet this cycle, only on CD11 and got a -ve OKP last night. Probably (very) early menopause knowing my luck! Sad

Hello,

Will be joining the merry wagon..

TTC number 1, Cycle 7, MMC Dec.
Will be testing this month on Mar31st. Really trying not to get hopes up this month as really felt low when AF turned up last week..

Slightly trying to reverse psychologise ( made up word I know) myself by thinking I wouldn't want a Christmas baby.. It's not working!

Fingers crossed all!!

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself.

TTC#1 since December (4th cycle). I got a BFN on Monday, have had more and more spotting over the past couple of days so expect AF to turn up either tonight or tomorrow. Cycles seem to be around 35 days at the moment, so POAS day will probably be around 18th April. Looking forward to AF getting here and then pissing off so we can get on with the SWI again!!

Nice to see you over here as well, Finn :)

Good luck, everyone!

Evening Ladies

Mildred I was gutted when AF got me last week think if I remember right she got us both on the same day.

We are moving house next week so trying to keep myself busy with the house in the hope it will take my mind away from ttc.

MildredH · 13/03/2012 21:29

Hi cherry- yep you're right it was the same day.. BFN disappointment and PMT together don't make for a happy mix.

I thought we'd done everything right last time- lost faith a bit in the timing now.. I've tried the OPK's both cheapies and clear blue but never got a positive. Temping hasn't worked for me either so really plumping in the dark.

My cycle varies 25-27 days - any suggestions for best days to get down to it? Shift working not really conducive to anything spontaneous so needs a bit of planning! Confused

Ps- house moving should be a great distraction just make sure you're not too exhausted for babymaking Wink
