Mine can be so bad I've felt like I'm going to pass out and have had to come home from work before. It's really not nice!

Am expecting it to be really painful this month when it finally comes as she's late Sad

Newbie2 · 17/07/2012 07:04

Lisa you've tested for BFP though, right?

Managed to argue with DH last night because I found out he's not listened to me and has taken early morning shifts everyday this week . He's much more productive in the morning so I was hoping we would have a couple of opportunities to DtD before work. We still managed to DTD even though we were both cross. So romantic! Not! Taking the spontaneous out of DTD has really put a dampner on things for is Hmm

NicolaHazel · 17/07/2012 07:04

That is really bad, poor you. :-( Has it always been like that?

The things we go through as women!

NicolaHazel · 17/07/2012 07:07

Oh no, Newbie!

I think we may as well resign ourselves to the fact that our blokes just aren't quite with it. Yet. It appears to be the couples who've been trying a long time who are on the same wavelength. :-/

I just couldn't cope with waking up any earlier, so work day morning DTD just ain't gonna happen!!

letsdothisthing · 17/07/2012 07:14

pains sound bad lisa, must be so annoying when you believe the BFN but AF still late! Grr

Newbie know what you mean about the having 'words' but DTD regardless, it happened to us last night too as DH was tired after working nights but then he was quite funny about (he knows I'm due to OV around now) and said 'come one then' and pointed upstairs so we DTD anyway :o had really bad cramps as I was falling asleep though and temp went up slightly this morning so that may have been ov!

LisaC2611 · 17/07/2012 07:18

It's been like that since I came off contraceptive but I remember when I was younger I used to get really bad pains.

newbie I've tested twice, including this morning and got a bfn twice so def not pg

Sorry to hear you've rowed with Hubby. I know what you mean about the spontaneousness, I feel like that but I don't tell hubby we've got to do it, I just tell him I want to which still doesn't always work.

Hope you sort it all out

NicolaHazel · 17/07/2012 07:26

I try the just telling him I want sex approach too...again, with mixed results. Men!!

Newbie2 · 17/07/2012 07:33

Yeah DH knows too much about my cycle now with all the sticks and monitor flying about to believe me but I'll give that method a go! It didn't help that I was tired too this time. I'll make sure we have a early night tonight! I told him that I was worried that the bad tension between us would scare the sperm away and he assured me that he had a word with them earlier to say that they had to swim like mad up a tube and ignore the crazy lady :)

letsdothisthing · 17/07/2012 07:34

you'd think they'd be loving all the extra action Wink

NicolaHazel · 17/07/2012 07:34

Bless him...that's a sweet thing to say :-)

Newbie2 · 17/07/2012 07:38

Aww Lisa that's tough. The disappointment when you get a BFN and AF hasn't bothered to show is glum. It's hopeful that the tests at the doctors will help you answer what's going on so you can move on! I certainly keep my fx for you!

letsdothisthing · 17/07/2012 07:48

Think we all need some good news - hmm who is next to test I wonder? Now where is that list :o

LisaC2611 · 17/07/2012 07:52

I think my body knows I want to start with the cb trial so it's holding on for the pots to turn up before it starts Grin they should be here today so hopefully she will make an appearance this afternoon!

Newbie2 · 17/07/2012 07:52

Yeah we need to dig the list out!

letsdothisthing · 17/07/2012 07:52

Found this...

Mumbaisapphire - cycle 1 - BFP on or around 20 July
Alwyn - cycle 2 - BFP due 27 July
Letsdothisthing - cycle 1 - BFP on 31 July
Mumof theocrats - cycle 5 - BFP [tbc]
Newbie2 - cycle 3 - bfp due 6th August
Lisac2611 - cycle 4 - BFP on 7th august

letsdothisthing · 17/07/2012 07:53

its not very long is it

DulcetMoans · 17/07/2012 08:47

That's only half the list I think. Me and nicola were on there for 19th.

I guess the men-folk do feel the pressure as well. Mine tired our pretty quickly of EOD/every day and then it becomes a chore. When it's a chore no one is going to enjoy it! Twice we managed to DTD but DP couldn't quite... do the important bit! That was really annoying!

NicolaHazel · 17/07/2012 09:10

I'm out for this month...11th August next date. :-/

DulcetMoans · 17/07/2012 09:20

Here we go, anyone else missing? Anyone need adding?

DulcetMoans - cycle 2 - BFP due 19 July (but probably not!)
Mumbaisapphire - cycle 1 - BFP due on or around 20 July
Alwyn - cycle 2 - BFP due 27 July
Letsdothisthing - cycle 1 - BFP due 31 July
Mumof theocrats - cycle 5 - BFP [tbc]
Newbie2 - cycle 3 - bfp due 6th August
Lisac2611 - cycle 4 - BFP due 7th August
NicolaHazel - cycle 3 - BFP due 11th August

nicola - took a guess at your cycle number. Could remember if it was 3 or 4 now?

LisaC2611 · 17/07/2012 09:58

Mine will have to change date when af finally comes but other than that I'm right. Thanks dulcet

NicolaHazel · 17/07/2012 10:37

3, thank god, Dulcet! :-)

DulcetMoans · 17/07/2012 12:21

Well we got a few coming over the next few weeks at least. Getting towards the end of the thread though. Has there been a BFP this thread?? How depressing if not!

MumOfTwoCats · 17/07/2012 12:48

Hey, Dulcet i'm on cycle 6 now. Due 11/12 Aug.

Can you please correct my name?!

I know what you mean about dtd becoming a chore. Dh has been fantastic and really enthusiastic. Still it seems a bit functional atm.

May suggest a date night this weekend!

DulcetMoans · 17/07/2012 14:09

Sorry mum, copy paste error! Corrected and updated now! Smile

DulcetMoans - cycle 2 - BFP due 19 July (but probably not!)
Mumbaisapphire - cycle 1 - BFP due on or around 20 July
Alwyn - cycle 2 - BFP due 27 July
Letsdothisthing - cycle 1 - BFP due 31 July
Newbie2 - cycle 3 - bfp due 6th August
Lisac2611 - cycle 4 - BFP due 7th August
NicolaHazel - cycle 3 - BFP due 11th August
Mumoftwocats - cycle 6 - BFP due 11/12 Aug

Date night is a must, then you both get a treat too!

Newbie2 · 17/07/2012 15:51

You know when I've had a shit day at work when you haven't heard from me all day :) (I know day isn't over yet but it should be).

I think we've had two or three BFPs on this thread so far.

DH wants to DTD again tonight. Can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'm going to make him wait until tomorrow. We didn't pace ourselves last month and I feel that's where we went wrong.
