Hoping for a July BFP?

[winkle2]

Come join me :)

Dh also broke his arm at football. I was not happy either. He has injured knees and ankles to. I also don't take hon seriously when he limps in on a Thursday night do don't blame yourself pips.

yikes I am also 37 and went to bristol uni so we were there at the same time! I love it here. Never left!

winkle undercover winkling. Love it.

ribs good attitude I think. It is a tough journey and we need to be a bit tough to cope.

Enjoy your weekend ladies. Bbq for us today. X

pips sorry about your hubs arm. I agree with kitty though it shouldn't stop him dtd.

Ted v jealous of your BBQ the weather is horrible up north. Not quite as bad as yesterday but still windy and raining. Was meant to have a day out with dd but think I will just hide in doors.

Hope you all have a better day.

Morning all-
Thank heck it's the weekend- we're so exhausted!

Feeling a bit bummed out- we're on cd21- we dtd cd8, 12, 14, 17 - but that's all ridiculous, we've had sex 4 times this month and it feels like we've been doing it loads!

Intention was to keep going eod, as I've read after mc my cycle could be, and would probably be, longer. I think I had some ewcm on cd 18 but df just wasn't up for it. We had our very first unsuccessful attempt yesterday morning. DF has been so knackered- and I've been really unsupportive- in a "shag me, shag me, shag me" way- so he's feeling bad about not doing it, and I'm feeling bad about pressuring him to do it! (Oh, how the tables have turned!!!) :-)

Anyway- having written it down I do feel better. If my cycle got back to normal straight away (and some people's do it would seem- and my mc was natural at 7+1 (though I started bleeding at 6+4, so perhaps baby died even earlier) then there's plenty of reasons to think it would go back to normal straight away) then we're covered. So actually, I shouldn't feel bummed, should I. Do you think I'm still in with a July shot? As I should be covered from days 8-19 ish- I'm obsession, aren't I?

Sorry! It's a good job I have this forum- I promise I'm not so tedious in real life!

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend xxx

P.S. Should I still test July 1st? Or leave it for a bit? With the last pregnancy (that ended in mc) I had definite implantation cramps in the week before AF was due. I guess I'll just see what happens. I mean, obviously I'll see what happens- I don't have any other choice!

Sorry again- v. self indulgent!
xxxx

Oops sorry about hubby's wrist! Don't feel bad about unsympathetic, I would have prob been the same!

Wishful - 4 shags doesn't seem much but then don't we only need to dtd eod over a 10ish day period... So that's only 5 shags! Seems so much more when you're in the midst of it! If it helps, I've only dtd once lol

CD15 here and monitor has gone down to high as predicted. Will be dtd tonight.

Seems weird that it's 'over' for me this month now when usually I'd be gearing up for my fertile week!

Hi wishful I think sperm can swim about inside for up to 6 days, so I reckon you've got it covered.

You're getting my hopes up as I've been having cramps this week - like when just before af comes but I'm not expecting to come on until next weekend.

I know I'm just tragically symptom spotting though - going to be a let down when if af does come.

Just need to enjoy this weekend I suppose and try not to think about testing ha

wish I was done for a month no no ofcourse I'm looking forward to dtd loads in a few weeks!!
Wishful 4 times is plenty don't feel bummed, maybe if you both feel up for it do one more in the next few days just incase your later then let that be that, my last ov was a week later then norm after mc on cd23 as I did the sticks till I got a + not sure what to expect this month

Cramping is a good sign!

And winkle as you started the thread I think you're due the bfp

Ah thanks sunshine!

Although I started the April one and no BFP from that one... So I'm owed one!

wishful your shagmenow/feelguitlylater approach sound similar to my own. I don't like myself for it! We had a session that never really was the other night which I tried not to show I was annoyed about but then demanded it first thing the next morn and later that evening to make up for it. I do feel sorry for DP at the moment. He does enjoy DTD but I don't think he likes the fact that there's not much free will about when we do it.

Hello yikes.
pips looks like you'll have a lot on your plate with DH in plaster. I broke my arm a few months ago, it was sooo frustrating- and not easy with a toddler either. It was the not being able to drive that caused the biggest problem for me. I Imagine your DH will be feeling very sorry for himself for a while.

bummer pipsicles for your DH's broken wrist. Sounds sore! Hope it mends soon. Totally agree about the lack of sex ed - I really think the whole ttc & mc business could do with a bit more air-time as it's stuff we do need to know as members of the female species. Yes, I did have a go at using fertility friend but it seemed to re-set my chart to CD1 at random times so I'm just making the most of reading all their free guides on how to chart and have set up my own fancy excel spreadsheet & graph that does it all for me (for free!) I'm a bit of an excel nerd... Am on CD15 today and think I might ov today/tomorrow but not 100% sure yet (would be good if it's at the weekend though).
kittykats - I did exactly the same thing 'in my head' re ttc in the wtf cycle (against the advice of the mw's) and then when the BFP didn't happen I was kind of pleased that I'd listened to their advice (even though I hadn't!!)
tedmundo - yay, Brizzle uni in the early 90's . Enjoy your BBQ, the sunshine seems to have vanished here, but it was nice earlier.
wishful - It sounds to me like you've done as much as you need to this month, so I wouldn't be down about it.

lolly - I agree it's a real hassle having to hassle DPs to dtd isn't it?! Not particularly romantic... But you gotta do what you gotta do.
waves to everyone else on this thread...

It's quite on the June thread! This where you all are

Started AF spotting today :( not long till she rears her full ugly head. Oh well - Easter baby is a good thing :)

Sorry, not being brief, I have replied on the June thread too

BBQ was great. So glad for my friend, she had invited a lot of people! Rain stayed away til 5 ish which was a good time to leave anyway.

red so sorry AF got you. Hope you are ok.

Hi ted feeling a bit down.

Half a bottle vino [vino] later and I'm watching "how life begins" on discovery HD. Feeling sorry and sad! How pathetic am I?!

That was supposed to say I'm a tad tipsy

Ah bless you red sorry you are feeling . Feel better soon. Am a bit tipsy too.

Ted sounds like your friend had the perfect BBQ. Good weather and then rain so everyone leaves at 5pm. Glad you had a good day.

Sorry red, looks like we will be testing buddies this month as the late comers!
Mother nature can be a bitch sometimes

According to " how life begins" the odds are really against the sperm,
I'm going to start on EPO soon to give them a good chance in July

Just got a positive OPK today so am adjusting my testing date!
