Hi Winkle, I'll join you for the ride. CD3 here (cycle 28-30 days), have bought 20 smiley face OV sticks, so am looking forward to put them in good use soon. Will start POAS on CD6 I think :-)

Last cycle my diet was pretty awful (too much cake, coffee and wine!). This time I am cutting back big time on all unhealthy to see if that helps.

Oh, and will DTD lots more this time round too!

What's your plan of action (if you have one)?

winkle2 · 09/06/2012 15:46

Hi Amaya

Thinking of buying the clearblue fertility monitor. I get a bonus from work this month. I know it's expensive but willing to try anything! I've done not trying not preventing, SMEP, every other day method, OV sticks, conceive plus, folic acid, santagon mum to be tablets, pregnacare, legs in the air, grapefruit juice, kiwis....!!!!!!

Can I join? Ttc number 2, DD was a first month try, but this is now month 4, so purchased ov sticks. Today is CD5 and also starting with them tomorrow.

Madly anxious about it all!

Hi everyone.

Tedmundo cycle 3 ttc #3 Af due July 2

I am taking a relaxed attitude this month. Not going to dtd unless we want to, will use sticks to check Lhsurge as it can't hurt can it?

Best of luck ladies.

Cd6 so should ov next weekend or Monday.

tedmundo · 09/06/2012 16:53

Ps welcome Mrs f.

Winkle .. so sorry to see you here. My heart was sore for you earlier. Sending you positive vibes.

Christelle2207 · 09/06/2012 17:09

hello Blush
Just fell off the June bus a couple of hours ago. Nice to see some familiar faces iyswim.

onemoreforgoodmeasure · 09/06/2012 17:42

May I join? Damn June bus driver hit the breaks and I went flying out. Today is day 1. I've got buckets loads of ov sticks, happy to share them out. And I've been pretty poor re burning the proverbial candle and drinking/smolking to much and eating the wrong sorts of foods for the last couple of months so am going to reign it in.

winkle2 · 09/06/2012 17:46

Thanks tedmundo :)

Hey Christelle, sorry to see you here, hope you get your BFP this month.

onemoreforgoodmeasure - welcome!

I just purchased the CBFM from Amazon. It's coming on Monday - very exciting but expensive too - it better bloody work!

According to my app, BFP due on 11 July.

Hi all- room for me?
I was very lucky and conceived in cycle 1 - in may thread. Sadly had mc at 7 weeks last weekend but am now looking forward ready to try again. Lots of things in my favour- dr said that the mc was conplete, so I didn't have to have an invasive procedure and all my pg symptoms have completely gone. (boooo- have had to dig out my old bras for my sad old deflated boobs- I was enjoying them! A good friend said it was like hugging dolly Parton!!)

The mc began full force on sunday, so I'm counting that as cd1, making today cd7. As I understand it my cycle could be all over the place for a while but I'm going to test on July 1st, which'll mean I'll be cd35 and late according to my normal cycles.

I'm sorry to see familiar faces here- particularly winkle and tedmundo- fx this is our month, hey girls!

My plan this month, healthy diet, try to do some exercise and I'm going to try for eod/ once every 3 days until July- more if I spot some ewcm. Not going to tell DF about shag-tastic master plan- he didn't enjoy the pressure last time, but I'm just going to be a horn-dog and see how it goes!

We're getting married in July and have lots to celebrate BFP or not but please please please BFP I really want a baby!!

Heres to July! Wine I'm drinking gin whilst I still can!! X

Hi wishful.. sad to see you here too. Let's hope we all get to continue our chatting on a due in March '13 thread. I bet you can't wait for the wedding.

Feel free to wedding chat as much as you like! Such as .. any single friends pulled a fast one yet and asked if they can bring their current squeeze to the wedding?? One of my stupid mates did that to us! The bloke is on the wedding photos and everything. And no, of course the relationship did not last!

Wishful .. one thing I would say is that I wasted March as an opportunity to TTC as I presumed that while I was still getting BFPs then I could not be ovulating. I have since been told this is wrong. So I missed any chance of ttc that month as didnt dtd much (still v sad actually so possible was for the best). But if your bleeding has stopped then should not be anything to stop you going for it!

Actually, maybe I will say two things .. I have had 4 periods since the MC and only this last one was anything like normal. I do wonder if my body has only just recovered. I was 11+5.

Changing my stats to the far more positive thinking BFP due!

winkle2 · 09/06/2012 20:32

My mate asked me at my hen do if she could bring her new boyf! I was quite tipsy and so said yes, plus what are you supposed to say when someone asks you blatantly! And then she left my party at 8 to go to the evening do of his mates wedding. grrrr. They are getting married this year but STILL. That's not the point

lollypopsicle · 09/06/2012 21:52

Right! Can I join you? Been trying to play it cool with this ttc malarky but truth be told its sending me round the bend. All the waiting and hoping and phantom symptoms and stress about when/if I've ovulated blah blah blah.
I think my problem is that I like to be in control and I'm not good at the 'see how it goes' aporoach as I think too much about everything.
So this month I'm going to try and take a bit of control. I've started charting and I've bought that book that everyone reccomends so hoping it will calm me down a bit and give some reassurance Confused.

I'm on day 3 of cycle 5, TTC No2. I'm on my phone so will add myself to the stats properly in a bit. Good luck all Smile

Hi ladies

I'm hoping for a July BFP too! If this months a 28 day cycle then I'm due 30th June but I want to test as late as possible as I can't stand to get another BFN. Its too heartbreaking.

winkle ted - everyone has been brill about the wedding so far. It's only going to be a small (ish) wedding but I can't wait! That's very cheeky of both of your friends! How long have you both been married?

winkle I am looking forward to hearing how you are getting along with the monitor. What is the difference between that and the sticks?

And which App are you using by the way? I have just uploaded the Period Diary Pro Smile. Anybody else here using any Apps that could be useful?

Wishful wow, congrats for the forthcoming wedding! You'll have plenty to celebrate this month! Probably a good thing to have something to help take your mind off the baby project for a bit Smile

Ted How awful to mc that late, I really feel for you Sad. Am keeping my fingers crossed you'll get your BFP this month and it's for keepers! Smile

tedmundo · 10/06/2012 10:54

Hi wishful.. Married 8 yrs now. Very happy ones too. We had a lovely wedding and talk about it even now. I already have plans to have a party for our 20yr anniversary in the venue we got married in. Better start saving up now.

thanks amaya .. Yes it was an awful shock. the 12wk scan was days away and we were already planning how to tell the families etc. on Mothers Day. My small small consolation is that I started bleeding just before the scan. At least I had fair warning that something wasnt right.

I am having a very lazy morning. Breakfast in bed, iPad and puss cat sat with me. DH on the X box with the boys. I love going on holiday but I also love coming home! we are still planning a relaxed approach to this month so who knows if July will even happen? DH working away a bit too so another complication.

winkle2 · 10/06/2012 11:41

Wishful - been married just over a year, we married last April. Been together 10 years this year :) . I want to wear my dress again I love it do much!!

Amaya - my monitor comes on Monday so I'll keep you updated daily! Not sure the difference between it and the sticks but desperate to try anything now!

As for apps I've got fertility friend, iperiod and period tracker Blush. Slightly obsessed.

ted - really sorry to hear about the mc :(
