That looks interesting, winkle...it is good your DH is so involved in it as I'm sure some men would just leave it to the woman to research etc.

Fx for you kitten :-) 2WW always drags. Even when there's a wedding on day 13! :-/

Still feeling sicky, got a headache, right sided gynae pain, generalised tummy ache and my cold (surely not related?!). My boobs don't seem as painful as they were, but they may have peaked earlier today when they got quite bad.

I've wanted a BFP every month, but want it more this month. Have to not let it ruin my honeymoon if it hasn't worked.

Kittenkatzen · 08/10/2012 18:41

Aww nic i really hope you get your fairy tale wedding day bfp! (but if not, a honeymoon baby will be every bit as special and fairy tale like!)

winkle nice to have company at my pity party Grin

winkle2 · 08/10/2012 19:18

Nic - agree with kitten :)

Question girls - do you stop dtd after you've ovulated? It's cd21 and I haven't dtd since cd17...

OP posts:
woody17 · 08/10/2012 21:25

winkle we keep dtd throughout, probably about 3 times a week apart from the supposedly fertile time when we try and do it more often.

winkle2 · 08/10/2012 22:15

Oh bugger better dtd tomorrow! OH out tonight.

redstrawberry · 08/10/2012 22:49

kitten can you do stuff with DH or mates to make the time go quicker. I dread the 2ww every month. It's like the clocks take twice as long every min every sec.

winkle that was on my mind too. DH and I have always stopped after OV. Never managed one beyond cd18. Get exhausted with all the sex before!

winkle2 · 08/10/2012 22:52

We dtd all month a couple of months back and d

winkle2 · 08/10/2012 22:53

And it didn't work :(

This month we've dtd cd 10, 12, 14, 16 and 17. EWCM had dried up by cd18.

Morning ladies...mind if I join you? TTC#2..for only 3 months. Took 3 months with DS so hoping it'll be the same again but not holding out much hope. Keep feeling like we never manage it at the 'right' times, plus cycles have been a bit longer than usual (I'm beginning to think its the multivits). Managed to dtd on Cd13, CD16 & CD20...cycle has been btwn 29 & 35 days recently. Need to fit it in a few more times before family come to stay next week!

Tis bloomin hard trying to dtd with ds, life & work getting in the way, eh?!

Grannyapple · 09/10/2012 07:51

winkle think I'm on same cd day as you...we can be 2ww buddies!. Think I'm due on from 16th-21st...hoping it's not 21st as that's our wedding anniversary...

winkle2 · 09/10/2012 08:50

Hey you could be my twin :) my cycles vary too but are generally around the 30 day mark... Makes testing hard cause you never know if you're late or not. Must say your name confused me... I thought why is a granny having a baby Grin

woody17 · 09/10/2012 08:57

Hi grannyapple hope you get your BFP soon!

Kittenkatzen · 09/10/2012 09:11

Morning!

Hi grannyapple......I'm in yours and winkle's club too - af bfp due around the 19th. Managed a cheeky dtd last night just in case :)

red you're right about the 2ww dragging, my iphone app thingy counts down the days for me which I thought would be really helpful but actually I think it makes it even more torturous! (tortuous? tortureous? no idea)

winkle we tend to ease off after ov.....although tbh I'm completely guessing as to when ov is so we probably should up our game a bit. One of the bfp'ers on another thread just popped back to update us that she'd had her 12 week scan and was told that she's actually only 10+6....so she had ov'd 8 days later than she thought! Just goes to show really....

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful · 09/10/2012 11:08

Hi grannyapple best of luck in the 2ww.

You are all so good with dtd. Even doing it post ov. I've only managed it twice this month but the timing was pretty good so I'm not too worried there.

Only 1 dpo myself and I will be not drinking in the 2ww to be extra careful. I normally don't worry about it but feel like I need to do something different this month.

weechops · 09/10/2012 13:24

Hi girls I feel like I've not been on for ages! I feel like I'm in limbo a bit just now. Dh has to go back to work for a week on friday and I'm due to ov around tuesday next week so unless he has superstrong swimmers I'm out for october.

And I had to go for my smear test earlier too ugh. The nurse asked about birth control so I told her we are ttc. She said 'oh and how is that going for you?' Erm well....I'm not pg so how do you think.

LittleMissSnowShine · 09/10/2012 13:45

Hello everyone

weechops - like you, feel like i haven't been here in ages (err...since sunday!)...withdrawal symptoms! Think i might be due a smear, can't remember if i got one done after DS was born in 2010 but think I'll leave looking into that just for now. already have dentist to go to next week, yuck!!

winkle - i guess because i can't use opks and my cycles do vary a bit from month to month we carry on dtd even after i'm fairly certain ov has been and gone because there's a small chance i might be wrong so might as well carry on! we started dtd last night which was only cd6 but keeping bases covered!!

whenshewasbasd - i'm drinking this Sat for a hen party (will be on cd11 so should be fine) but after that no more til i'm sure i'm def not pg. like u say, can't hurt to do something diff/extra this month.

Feeling pretty good at the min, prob all the diff multi vitamin supplements and superfoods i'm eating. AF gone. Shagging has commenced. If I could wean myself off coffee&chocolate i'd be top of the class i can't, though

LittleMissSnowShine · 09/10/2012 13:46

PS) winkle - watched Homeland in bed last night. With cocoa! Then dtd. And didn't even need to pee. Result!

chilledmonkeyribs · 09/10/2012 14:52

Goddam you nic Ive caught your cold. I feel like im made of glass, im having a cheeky look on here before nicking off work early and going home to bed for an hour or so. I hope yours is on its way out so you're all lovely and snot free for the big day.

CD 7 here I think?? Nothing to report. Other than off to hospital with DPs sperm sample on Friday. Its been such a nightmare getting it arranged, he's been busy at work, and its got to be 3 days since he last, ahem, let the little guys out to play!! Confused So just hope we dont get arrested at the side of a busy road on the way to hospital, trying to get the sample. They dont tell you about THIS when TTC do they!!

Il of been TTc for 2 years next month, iv decided to start to look into fertility treatments ivf etc. Holy shit its expensive. We'r looking about 4 grand. If id been 3 years younger and donated my eggs I could of had it free at one of the hospitals. If your over 35 your eggs are fucked - is that the message they're giving out. Great!!

Ive probably had only about 20 proper periods my whole life. I should have gazillions of the little buggers.

winkle2 · 09/10/2012 15:25

nice on littlemiss Grin

CD22 here, best go for a shag tonight just in case!

LittleMissSnowShine · 09/10/2012 17:41

Oh ribs :( that sounds v unfair. Hope bfp shows up for u before that

winkle - u never know so good luck for later!

Cd7 for me too, night off dtd, going for eod this month. Good times! Hopefully!

wishfulthinking1 · 09/10/2012 17:57

Hi girls-
Just wanted to pop in and say hello (was on the original bfp in 2012 thread... and the may, June, July ones...!)

All's well with me- 14 weeks pregnant and everything seems to be going ok this time, which is a relief. I'm well past the mc anniversary, so fx it'll be full steam ahead.

I LOVE the new positive thread title and have fx that it is the one where you ALL get pregnant.. Sounds like lots of new things are being tried... Soy, secret lube etc... Really really hope this is the month for you all,
Xxx

winkle2 · 09/10/2012 18:23
