Over here, sausage-wangers!

Evening ladies.
Managed to DTD last night, hurrah.
I was a complete state when I came of the pill, it took me about two cycles to get back to normal.

Talking to a friend about why no one talks about it, they suggested that it is like admitting you have failed in your basic remit as a human being. In fact I noticed that DH only started to talk about it to friends when he had a brilliant SA result.

well done you

i didnt as OH said he was tired. funny but i took that as a complete rejection yet i know in my logical brain that he was just tired and not rejecting me! think hormones really make me a bit mad sometimes lol

Added myself to the list. 6DPO according to FF (8DPO according to me!) and BIG temp drop this morn (below coverline). Also have my sore boobs which i have realised I always get at this time in my cycle. Didnt really expect anything else from only shagging once but still pissed off. Wont stop me POAS on Thursday tho! [mad lady emoticon]
Thunder i'll take a jelly snake and offer you a flying saucer in return! Hope you're feeling better.
Sidney / Navi any news? Captain hope you're still busy shouting down the phone to get your results soon. Well done to everyone DTD at the right time (unlike me some people ) Sorry to anyone i've missed - can't keep up!

Oooh just found a chart (after a looooong search) with a DPO dip just like mine that ended with BFP - mine is the purple line (with the very erratic pre O temps!) They got BFP on 10DPO www.fertilityfriend.com/journal/revVPEIp0.png

[excited] [can convince myself of anything emoticon]

2cats my BBT dropped below coverline at 10DPO and I got my BFP at 12DPO. FX for you!!!

Thanks Rache1 - although I bet you had sex more than once that month!!!! Think I need to explain to my OH that immaculate conception is not a viable option...

No, I would imagine you could do with getting a couple of pre-OV shags under your belt... but on the other hand it only takes one swimmer so if yours was just before OV you may well be in the running.

I need restraining. Pee sticks are SCREAMING at me from the cupboard! Help!!

2cats peas for the both of us!! Still no AF here, on cd29, terrified every time I go to the bathroom in case there's blood. But not so terrified that I'm willing to poas and put myself out of my misery!! Still, expecting the worst as I can think of no reason to be slightly crampy at cd29 if pregnant. Really psyched for you and your FF charts! Go do it!

Sidney keep us posted. I think you're said AF is usually CD28/29 didn't you? I will cross all of my limbs on your behalf now!

Do you chart Sidney? Can't remember you mentioning it

No, I don't chart, but may start now. AF arrived about an hour ago.

Poor you sidney. Wish it got easier. FX for this cycle to be good news for you

Adding myself and then popping off to eat pancakes:

aquarius 32 today ttc a while, af due 7 march ish

Happy Birthday aquarius hope you have had a lovely day

Happy Birthday Aquarius!!! have a good one!

I don't really know what to add to this thread at the mo, waiting for AF to come when I know it is deffo coming, but not for 2 more weeks is just horrendous!

Crazy lady inside me is considering giving up for 2 months as she doesn't want a Dec/Jan baby - is that weird? I know i shouldn't care when its born but I just can't face the thought of being in hospital over Christmas or having a baby with a birthday near mine - Crazy right???

Bunny I'm with you on the waiting. It sucks.

Surely though if you get pg mid march then babs will be due end nov? Or have I got that wrong?

Happy Birthday Aquarius, 2 days before me

Bunny I think Thunder is right. If you conceived on your next cycle the baby would be due very early December at the latest. How would you feel about giving up for a few months? If I don't get a BFP in the next 4-5 months I'm gonna have to put things on hold for several cycles to avoid just having given birth/ being heavily pregnant for my wedding. Makes me very to think of stopping after all this time.

I have the same thoughts about a dec/jan baby! I'm getting married in September 2014 so worrying things won't happen in good time

Fairy my wedding is August 2014! Have the same worries. Didn't book it for this year cos thought I'd be pregnant by now. Sod's law!

Thanks ladies happy poor you with a valentines bday. Hope you get double the special treatment from your oh. Mine bought me flowers today bless him but I suspect I won't get any more on the 14th....

On the subject of timing pregnancies - I wish I could tell myself to take a break- everyone says you get pg when you're not trying! But I don't think I could ever 'not try' if you know what I mean

Happy birthday aqua!

Sorry she got you Sidney :(

Sounds v promising 2cats

Ladies after 19 months I'd take any baby, any time of year! Although if u do take a break you'll probably get pregnant when you didn't want to. Sod's law innit.

thunder and happy is that right? I always get confused, maybe I will give march a go then lol

twinkle I know hun, I'd be happy to just get pregnant like we all would be. We delayed TTC last year for my crazy lady reason, wish I hadn't bothered waiting if it takes this along anyway
