Can I join? Ttc no2 didn't know about mn until recently so first timer to threads, got the smiley Monday cd23! ( long story) and dtd twice although last night dh was asleep, does anyone bother the third day along?

pixiestix · 13/06/2012 20:37

Just seen on another thread that our old Frolicker mate CurlyCasper is up-diffed again. This second time shagging is going viral!

bunnygirl80 · 14/06/2012 10:33

kurly I'm working on the theory that as pretty much everyone else I know has conceived their second child through a one night lapse in contraception, rather than frenzied shagging like their first, that just once in a cycle will be enough!

kittykat you're more than welcome to join us. I tend to go for regular swi throughout the month rather than timing it too strictly around ov. I would think that twice would be enough, maybe you could try an get an extra go in today for good luck Grin

Bunny we do it around ov (and other times as well), but I like to know that we have a bit of a good shot at an egg.

I'm so tired, absolutely knackered. I just want to sleep at the moment.

highheelsandequations · 16/06/2012 21:49

Okay I just bought a CBFM (and I'm blaming Flo :o), internet shopping after a glass of wine is dangerous, will it even work whilst BF if I'm not ovulating????

bunnygirl80 · 16/06/2012 22:44

tribble tiredness is a pg symptom you know Wink

hh I suppose the cbfm will confirm one way or another what's going on for you. And when your cycles do start to return it'll give you warning that something's happening

I feel like my insides are creaking into action again! Lots of cramping, and pain from what I assume is my right ovary, so should probably get swi'ing if we're going to have a chance this month.

pixiestix · 17/06/2012 16:55

HH from what I remember, you have to have fairly regular periods - ie always between something like 20 and 50 days - to use the CBFM Sad Don't want to dash your hopes, but also don't want you to be disappointed when it arrives. You can also only start to use it on the first day of a period I think.

highheelsandequations · 17/06/2012 20:33

bunny hope you're having lots of SWI fun.

I've my fingers crossed for the tiredness being significant tribble :)

pixie according to their website I need to have a couple of normal cycles before it'll work but I'll give it a go anyway and I'm hoping it'll at least come in useful at some point, although maybe I should just send it back and buy shoes instead, really silly ones with ridiculous heels that I can stare at and hope to get a chance to wear someday :o

bunnygirl80 · 17/06/2012 21:56

hh I think you should get the shoes as sod's law dictates that as soon as you buy something it would be impossible to use while pg you'll be updiffed within a week Grin

pixiestix · 18/06/2012 00:42

yy, swap it for a paragliding experience and a big bottle of vodka. You'll be pregnant by the end of the week! Grin

crazybutterflylady · 18/06/2012 07:14

Ahem. Isn't there an update to the stats?!?! Grin

TribbleWithoutACause · 18/06/2012 22:04

HH I've got the crazy metallic taste in my mouth as well. Also Bunny is right, the minute you waver in your commitment to getti g updiffed, you get updiffed.

bunnygirl80 · 19/06/2012 10:31

Ooh tribble when are you testing? This is going to be a short lived thread looking at the rate people are getting their bfps Grin

TribbleWithoutACause · 19/06/2012 10:44

I don't know, I think at some point this week. I was thinking of going to the pound shop and getting some cheapy tests and seeing what happens. I'm due to come on at the end of the week.

pixiestix · 19/06/2012 10:56

Trib I remember last time you were pg you got all the symptoms in the book the week before you tested and I was thinking "Crikey, she must have a right imagination, surely" - then, boom, a few days later you got your BFP Grin So tiredness and a metallic taste sound like you are definitely going in the right direction!

Can you remember what day you got your BFP last time? I was CD27

haloflo · 19/06/2012 20:36

Ooh tribble sounds promising.

I am officially announcing to the thread that I got my BFP on Saturday! Grin

TribbleWithoutACause · 19/06/2012 21:14

Halo YAY!!!!!!

Pixie I still have my chart from last time, I think it was DPO 10. Me and DH actually went into Boots and stared at the pregnancy tests and had the following discussion;

DH: '£8 for a pregnancy test, thats a bit steep isn't it.'

Me: 'Yeah'

DH: 'A lot of money to spend on something that might tell us you're not pregnant'

Me: 'Hmmmm'

DH: 'Why don't we wait like normal people?'

Me: 'What do you mean 'normal people'?'

DH: 'You know, like in the olden days when people had to miss a period to know that they were pregnant or they just got fat'

Me: 'We could just go to the pound shop tomorrow.'

DH: 'Yeah alright then'.

pixiestix · 20/06/2012 20:14

Grin Thats why I still have pg tests hidden in various boxes around the flat - so that I dont have to justify the expense to anyone when I'm having a "maybe, just maybe I could be" moment!

highheelsandequations · 20/06/2012 22:45

Glad I'm not the only one with hidden tests pixie :)

And official cheers for halo :o

kurlyvoice · 21/06/2012 21:14

Eeee! This is an exciting thread! Do I need to get me some pg tests to stash away...? I have been super restrained this cycle and haven't even bought one yet! With DS, I didn't have any of this as we didn't think it was working - by the time I did a test it was a proper clear blue fellow and said 3+ weeks!

Yayayayayay to flo's officialness!

(think I'm 9 DPO but should only be 5 days given last month's cycle, so need to sit on my hands for a week if I can resist. Only "symptoms" are tiredness and headache, and they're normal for me towards the end of the working week anyway... But then I didn't have symptoms with DS for ages...)

pixiestix · 21/06/2012 22:20

Kurly it gets better, get ye to FB Wink

bunnygirl80 · 22/06/2012 02:10

I have no hidden tests and I had a sneaky look in the supermarket the other day..$20 for a clear blue digi or $15 for a first response. Think I might just wait till I've missed four or five periods and have a bump for confirmation Grin

Having been advised on Weds to stop ttc for this month in case I catch ds's slapped cheek disease, or course my temp went up on Thurs, confirming that I ov'd on Tuesday. I doubt I'll a. catch his infection or b. actually be pg this month so its all a bit academic anyway.
