Oh CrackerJack I have put AF not BFP as that is the wording you used - I know some people deliberately do that as they feel they may jinx things.

The list is getting pretty long now. How do people feel about going over to something more streamlined? For example, just putting a list of dates in Feb and the applicable people's names underneath each date?

I suppose it depends on how important people feel the rest of the information is in keeping track of everyone....

Hi all, getting frustrating with the lack of B'Ding here. It's usually fairly regular but I have a feeling the thought of making a baby is taking the romance out of it for DH.
I have no idea when I'm likely to ovulate so I was hoping to hedge our bets by DTD every day for the rest of the month and then maybe just every other day after that. I think I'm probably expecting a little too much - haha
So how's everyone enjoying the snow?

Ariel21 · 18/01/2013 15:33

Bourbons I'm LOVING the snow it's so pretty, and I had a nice crunchy walk to the bank earlier - happily am working from home so don't have to stress about getting anywhere though... Sounds like you and your DH are going to be busy for the rest of the month! I made the mistake of mentioning to mine the dates when we should be shagging and he told me I was ruining it for him so I'd better keep it to myself from now on...

MotherOfCleo · 18/01/2013 16:05

Ariel I love how our men like to kid themselves that we are pouncing on them because they are so damn desirable rather than because we want their sperm lol. My OH actually looked upset that I wanted sex last night, never thought he would complain about doing it too much....what a lightweight Grin

Hi, please can I get on the bus too? Have been lurking for a while but feel like I am spying! I am another valentine bpf, we found out that our offer had been accepted on a house last valentine's day so am hoping for another lucky one. I am going to try v hard not to test early this month as am fed up with boosting FRER's profits unnecessarily.

Perfectly timed, DH has just arrived home with Percy Pigs so tuck in.

At a pc so I have added myself to the list

After jumping on my OH as much as i can (with no complaints thankfully) i really hope i have first month luck! Don't think i have the stamina to carry on, never mind him!

I keep symptom spotting, i am holding my hopes up too high after getting pregnant in the first month with all 3 DS's and feel like i'm heading for disappointment anyone else in the same boat?

Morning ladies,
DH & DS fast asleep upstairs, I'm downstairs with a cup of tea making 'to do lists' .......... they'll be regretting all this sleeping soon, the jobs are piling up nicely!!

AF mercifully now buggered off, so the train to Shagfest Central is now arrival at platform Pads ........... watch out Mr Pads Wink

Have a good weekend, stay safe and warm x

Pixie001 · 19/01/2013 11:32

right, so cd 9 and the shagathon started last night. think we're gonna try the sperm meets egg plan:
every other night starting CD8
opks from CD10 (think i normally get + CD12+13)
When get +opk, dtd that day and then next 2
Skip one day then dtd again

I think when we did mahoooosive shagfest last mth it left us exhausted and not enjoying it so we poss finished up too early. so hopefully this way we dont get too fed up!

pads are you going for the 'as much as you can get plan'?
lynds i have same issue with old house - central heating and gas fire on and yet still could do with a blanket
loves you and delia are my bfp buddies! hope you get your first mth luck! are u just comin off pill-will your cycle need to sort itself out this mth?
welcome okavango i love percy pigs!

Padster hope you have a great weekend in shagfest Wink

Finally got my smiley face this morning, dh still got flu, laid with tissue stuffed up his nose to stop it from running, not an appealing sight when we're s'posd to be BD'ing! We tried, but it really wasnt happening! Blush here's hoping he feels better later!

It will happen, they say the average is a year, think I've got that right. Must be very disheartening though

Aye it is. Wouldn't defeat me so much if she wasn't here every weekend. I just end up not wanting much to do with her. My OH's ex wife fell pregnant without much effort. It makes me feel useless :( x

Report
lovesthechaos3 · 19/01/2013 19:07

You are far from useless, everyone is different. Don't compare yourself to her as it will put more pressure on you. My friend was trying for 3 years and stressed herself out, she stop actively trying and got pregant almost straight away as there as no expectations or pressure. Worth a try maybe?

Try not to take it out on your OH Daughter, enjoy spending time with her, will make it easier for her to adjust when she does get a little brother or sister

Report
lyndsey90 · 19/01/2013 19:14

I don't enjoy spending time with her. She's been brought up different to how I'd raise a child. She's got no respect for anyone yet expects everyone to run around her. She's nearly 6 and still gets up in the middle of the night for attention. She gets away with whatever she wants. It truly drives me insane.

Part of me wishes we hadn't started TTC because I feel now if it doesn't happen. Me and my OH may not end well :/

These are my weekend blues, during the week when it's just me and him... I couldn't be happier... Meh! Lol xx

Also, since her mum had another baby she's been worse for needing attention. What will she be like if she's not got daddy's attention 100% of the time on a weekend. I dread to think. Will be like having 2 babies in the house. Lordy lordy... X
