June BFP thread! come join us!

[morecoffeemorecoffee]

Thought I would take the plunge and start the June thread! I won't be getting my May BFP as my cycles are sooooooo long. Who's. With me?

Change of plan - hubs is going out and I have friends round. Will starting dtd from tomorrow (cd11) make any difference? Usually get my smiley on cd16...

Welcome aboard wilde. Sorry bout the mc, a few of us have been there 2. So hoping this is a lucky month 4u.

Get yourself added a the list.
Iv no idea what'll happen this month, hopefully Clomid'l kick in again n ill get another 32 days ish cycle. Fingers crossed

I'm loving the red wine idea 2. I've just decided that's the way 4ward this month. Dp will b elated!

Nah I think u should b ok Winkle. See if u can get a sneaky 1 in the morning, that sort of counts 4 tonight.

wild of course you should add yourself in, sorry to hear about your mc.

Better luck this month. What date are you testing?

thanks for the welcome ladies!

winkle dtd tomorrow rather than today will not make the blindest bit of difference if your usual smiley day is cd16. I completely know how you feel about the dtd plan though - a pp here referred to it as a project (sorry can't remember who!) which i completely agree with, is so hard to deviate from The Plan and not feel like you might jeopardise everything. For my last pg I would think about when to dtd all the bloody time... but that is why we are all here, to have friends to give us some sense and be lovely sounding boards!

Am not sure my sex humiliations are up there with these :) i did have a boy in my bed at Uni once who stripped down to his Y fronts... which sent me skidaddling into my mates room in horror at what such a handsome boy was doing in pants. Not boxers, actual pants. Was ushered back into my room by said mate whereupon Handsome Boy, lying in my bed uncovered to the thighs to show off the Pants, asked me did I not like yves st laurent then? he was so proud and confident of his pulling pants. I didn't concur and I think I sent him home which might have been a bit mean .

whenshewasbad am testing on June 1st. I think. With the mmc and not really 'trying' i will try and hold out, am a terrible poas addict.

thanks RIBS, is still rather raw (am signed off at the mo) but am trying to move on. Am sad that others here have been through this but together we shall prevail!

hollar ice! Am stalking you :) Nearly joined you chumps on the May thread but really don't want to test till June!

Hi ladies, can I join?

Dreamydays ttc#2 testing 7 June

Big emotional help to me over last few days to discover this thread, after a few months of trying and talking about it with no one but dh. Especially when you see the lighter side :o So I thought I'd stop lurking and join in. Big sympathy to those having a hard time.

On caffeine, I more or less gave up coffee when we began ttc again but am just realising I should give up my major chocolate habit - or can anyone justify why chocolate doesn't count as that sort of caffeine?? (leaving aside of course that chocolate is otherwise a highly nutritious health food).

On exercise, I usually run once or twice a week. But since ttc I have stopped running post OV for fear that it will upset implantation. Do any of you do the same or is this OTT? My reasoning is that when pregnant with DD I had a threatened miscarriage early on and the doctor put me on bed rest for 2 weeks. Old-fashioned I know, but it worked for me.

Dreamy x

Hello dreamy glad the thread is helping.

wilde great sex story, for some reason it gave me a flashback to an ex who referred to his penis as private Percy that relationship did not last long

Change of plan - hubby's going out tomorrow night. Dtd and winkling will commence this eve!!

Thanks for the messages hugs, sympathy (and lack of slaps!) guys. Feeling much calmer today. Enjoying gals of and bought sexy pyjamas today(well sexy ish, and certainly an improvemnt on my usual night atire!). Job still sucks but feeling much better about all my other rants of last night, and Hubs will be back about 11pm tonight so will get a RL hug too.

you guys far more dedicated than me with you cutting down caffine. I drink more coffee now than ever before!

The sex storries make me feel a right old prude, don't think I can compete at all. Couple of cringeworthy non-sex storries though (hand job to boyf on a coach at about 16 was definately wrong, and was SO not as discrete as I can only assume we thought at the time ).

Welcome to newbies. More the merrier

Flowery ha ha good cringe story! I work in a youth centre with teenagers who don't go to school and we're heading off on a residential with them next month. on a mini bus. there had better be no hand jobs or i'm going to have to laugh my head off be very cross with them all!

hello wilderumpus (y fronts! dear god! DH bought those in m&s by accident last month cos he thought they were boxers ack ack ack) and dreamy! Dreamy - anything i've heard is that it's ok to exercise when you're ttc or preg if you normally exercise and it's nothing extreme like slalom skiing or snowboarding or white water rafting or something! it's just not a good idea to suddenly take up running if you haven't been used to doing it before - gentle exercise is all good for endorphins, circulation, general health etc. u could always get a yoga dvd or something if you think running is a bit much but u feel like some exercise??

winkle - let the winkling (and live action updates lol) commence!

RIBS - Fx that CLomid gets on the job for u!

Just back from zumba - hadn't been in 3 weeks and now i'm flipping shattered! shattered!! But feels good - now time for a shower, a quick episode of mad men and then a quickie before zzzz

see you ladies in the morning - good luck to those dtd, winkling, poas, implanting or whatever you're up to!

flowery- hoping you feel a bit better now! HUG! x

SWI number 1 - DONE!!

Well done Winkle. 1 down n lots more 2 go.
Re exercise, my sil is a Zumba instructor. She gives a warning out at every lesson, 2 leave if pg or if u think ur pg. So don't do it once uv got ur bfp littlemiss.

Hi everyone! Been catching up with all the posts....

:) welcome to all the new girls!

Congrats wishful! So pleased for you! :)

Floweryboots, sending you ((hugs))

winkle glad to see you're on the up again. Just scanned your AIBU thread and oh my god! Talk about over reaction!

Well, I've been avoiding the thread as my spotting continued for over a week so no dtd. Was feeling really Crap about it but dtd last night so back on the ttc train again! No sign of Ov this month although had a bit of cramping this morning. No sign of ewcm yet though.

How are you doing littlemiss hope you are ok.

Nice one winkle and morecoffee.. Let's hope that was the Sesh that seals the deal.

CD10 for me and tonight we plan to start the EOD regime that is going to take us to a lovely juicy Bfp.

My best friend told me last night she is 13 weeks. She knows about my mc back in march and seemed scared to tell me. What a sausage! I am so happy for her. I don't have any negative feelings about other people ... Yet. perhaps if this goes on for months and months I may change my mind on that?!

loving the cringe stories too. I could add a few, and a few where I put myself in danger a few times (such as, oh it is 3am, I am tired, let's just hop into this unmarked cab to get home). Christ, if I have a girl, HOW am I going to stop her being the pillock I was?

Floweryboots .. You back on track today?

Welcome to all the new ladies. Righto, anyone for a brew?

Me!me! I'd loooove a right now!

Yes brew plz!

Ds has tummy bug so no dtd ladt night for us, my.house is full of workmen and it smells a bit vomity, I didnt get a great nights sleep and I miss my caffeine!!

good to see u again morecoffee, welcome back!

Ribs - why does yr sil.think zumba isnt good for preg ladies? Just interested cos loads of ppl hav told me they did it throughout their pregs just at a lower intensity level but obv i'll stop going if im preg and theres a reason to quit??? Eep!

Think the elusive bfp is still a while away tho with my superlong cycles anyway...

No idea littlemiss think its maybe something to do with the twisting, she said it was the first thing they were told on the training course. So she says it at the outset of every class. She takes it VERY seriously. Shes doing aqua zumba now too, but says thats ok for if your up the duff. Have you tried it?? Its hysterical, she had us running to one side then spin round to run at the other, its practically impossible.

I have decided to bin the ov sticks and temping this month. I got a 34 day cycle on the clomid last month, so im aiming for that. Il be checking the mucus, but just EOD from days 9 or 10 til a week after ive seen the ewcm.

Gynae said clomid dose is ok, so I reckon that ive now got just as good chance as the next person, and the person next to me (at wk) is pg so I just need to get cracking. Cant wait to get cracking. Only cd2.

Ribs I'm doing the same thing - ditching the sticks and going for eod from cd10 to cd24. That should cover us :D

lovely filter coffee please tedmundo!

RIBS must be ace to hear that you have as good a chance as the next person this month, you must be pretty excited :)

I wholeheartedly agree with ditching the sticks, that's how I got pg with (ill-fated) no. 2. watching the sticks was stressing me out but baby sex every 2/3 days was actually stress-free as I always knew there were swimmers there to meet my eggy.

wishful I completely forgot to congratulate you! Congratulations!

just went for a jog to get out of my post-mc mardy slobby slump of comfort eating and depression. Feel much better; really want to lose some weight (just a bit) to start my new pregnancy(fingers crossed) fit and well.

little sorry to hear your DS has a tummy bug. hope he is better soon... and you can both enjoy a snuggly tv day (with the builders!) today.

Am really hoping to get my post MC BFN tomorrow :) That would feel like quite a milestone seeing as the whole affair has been going on since the 19 March. I shall drink to celebrate (and dtd!)

having a quick MN Sesh while eating pâté on toast, and steadfastly ignoring ds2 who is in a strop and is stomping round the house and, literally, snorting with fury at me. It is a bit like living with a grumpy Shetland pony.

his loss, as I have explained he does not get lunch til he is in a better mood. And I get ten mins peace!

Anyway advice please girls ....

I have been told today, by a pregnant friend, that EOD is not enough and we should be aiming for every day. I really don't think I can face that. it really would make TTc the most joyless experience. We have never DTD every day except on starting out as a couple. It would just feel like a chore and I can't do that to our relationship. We are currently a very happy couple with no bedroom issues at all, managed every 1-2 weeks for 12 yrs. Don't want to make issues from this TTc phase.

But I do do do want to be preggers.
please reassure me EOD is fine!

tedmundo EOD is fine. There is some research that shows everyday reduces sperm quality as testicles struggle to supply the demand! EOD should mean there are swimmers about at the vital time.

We are usually twice a week max and only slightly more now. I reckon it's important to enjoy the shagging and not think of it just as a means to an end!

EOD is fine ted. Ive been more or less doing that then going for every day when ov'ing. Im no further on.

Ive been reading that unless your DP has very perky swimmers, that they really need the extra day to build up their levels. I had read it ages ago, but just thought if I did it every day that it would help. It hasnt. So im going to do EOD throughout. Im using CP too as its supposed to help them stay there for longer.

Good luck with the stroppy child!!

With having pcos and not knowing when I ov, I found the charting,opk etc good, but hopefully now I dont need that - I can relax and if DD gets up during the early hours I know it wont have screwed up by bbt chart. Plus it gets me out of the obsessive pos habit. Once you start it really becomes addictive.
