BFP in 2012 Part 3 - let's get on with it!

[resipsa]

I bit the bullet!

No but going to tomorrow morning to put myself out of one misery into another lol
Going to have lazer hair removal so wanted to make sure I'm not first, this was my mums treat for me after mc
I said thanks mum nothing says I love you like you've got a moustache!

Oh and long cycle because of mc again I'm only dpo10 even though so long

Longtime lurker staying incognito due to several people knowing me in RL but we were happily just shagging our way through 2012 figuring baby whenever, all cool calm and collected. My contract then changed at work and I have this month - yup thats right - just this month - to get upduffed

SO. Had an idea work contract might be changing so tried to track OV with sticks last month, I got a +OPK on CD15 and CD16 on a 26 day cycle - cycles vary 26-28 days.

Feeling the pressure DH and I DTD CD9 and CD11 of this cycle - now on CD12 - reading through I see that people recommend EOD not ED - please tell me when is optimum shagging! Going for the legs in the air post DTD as well.

for what its worth DH is more than willing to DTD whenever I ask

thank you thank you for any words of advice

Hello! I'd go for every other day - good luck!!

thanks winkle

So whats the benefit to EOD rather than ED?

I've heard it give dh sperm chance to build up in good quality although there is nothing wrong with ed either it's just preference alot of people do eod up to ov then a few days in a row aswell, don't know if anyone else knows more/ thinks differently, as sperm is surposed to survive up to 5-7 days but atleast 3 if you dtd eod there should always be sperm waiting

Exactly what kitty said.

If you can manage every day then go for it! Although it gets tiring!

Have you thought of doing SMEP plan? Dtd every other day from cd8 and when you get a positive opk dtd that night, the next and the day after, miss a day then do one more try.

ok, so going on my last cycle I +OPK on CD15

this cycle we should DTD on CD8, CD10, CD12, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD17 asnd CD19?

Thanks you muchly

Best of luck another. Would completely agree with the advice on eod instead of ed. Dh and I are lazy and only do every 3 days.

Best of luck testing tomorrow kitty your moustache comment made me lol.

Cereal - that sounds about right. Be prepared to be knackered!

Anyone eating healthily or dieting whilst TTC? I just ate loads of maltesers oops

Reading back of you've dtd cd9 and 11 thats fine. Dtd next on cd13.

Well DH was rather ahem insistent so CD12 has also been ticked

Haven't had so much fun in years! Helped by DD having a run of good nights

Best of luck another
Bfn for me < slinks off to lick wounds>

Still early, kitty...don't give up yet.

Ah that sucks kitty but like nic says its not over till the red witch appears.

winkle I am kidding myself that I'm eating healthily for TTC but in reality I don't actually think much has changed! Pass the maltesers

kitty I forgot you are only about 10 dpo. It is still v possible you could still get some good news. Fx

Thanks guys, I know it's early but I'm pretty sure it's not my month, I was anyway and that just confirmed it, I'm just getting sick of it but worried negativity will make it worse
In a depressed mood anyway as we may not be a me to go on holl now and it's what was keeping me going
When I think I'm the same as you this cycle, will you test?

Cd1 again :(

Seriously don't know what's left to try. I've tried not trying, trying, SMEP, opks, eod, CBFM, epo, grapefruit juice, I've added fertility friendly foods to my diet, I've tried folic acid, santagen mum to be, I'm on pregnacare, hubbys on the wellman conception and takes vit c and zinc... I've even tried relaxing and going on holiday... NOTHING IS WORKING :(

Saliva ferning winkle?

Really sorry winkle don't know what to suggest.

kitty I think I am on 9 dpo. Don't think I am going to test early as my problem seems to be hanging on to a pregnancy not starting one. I'm not getting excited unless I get the clearest of clear BFPs. I might test on Sat but will try and hold out for Sunday.
Just popped in to Morrisons and you are right, the Clearblue opks are only £3.18 for 7 - bargain, just bought 2 packs.

Thunder congratulations!

Winkle I'm so sorry the witch came again :(

Another good luck for this month. Kind of know how you feel as my dh will be working away at all my ov times til march!

Hi winkle I've been sitting here contemplating whether to give you my advice or not but decided what the hell. I hope you take it as a good gesture rather then patronising!! I say that because sometimes when people get a BFP and then dish out advice it can sometimes come across a little patronising on MN but I want to help others so it's probably worth the risk! I tried EOD throughout cycle (not very successful), ED for a week leading up to OPK day, random days without knowing OPK and EOD leading upto OPK and then 2 days after OV. I went to the doctor last month and she asked me what I had been trying. She asked me if DH had any problems with sperm and I said I had suspicions but he has not been recently tested. So she said well it you're willing to give it a go a fertility clinic once told me that you should use OPKs, withhold from DtD until the day you get a smiley. The day you get a smiley DTD and keep DTD once ED for 5 days after. I only managed on the day of the smiley and 2 days after. Anyway, even though that information she gave me goes against everything I had heard an read I th

thought it was worth a go. I hope that it helps someone on here who is about to give up! Sorry about the long post!!

Sorry winkle, there's nothing I can say except I know how shit it is, there's no point looking for positives as you won't be in the mood for it, I've been looking at the soy isoflavens but not sure whether to try them, I'm abit scared!!
When- glad you benefited from the bargin, I may go and try and get more lol
