TTC #2 and turning into a nut job! Part 2!

[BartBaby]

Still ttc. Still nutty. Come join us

We would have it sorted if we all listened to our own advice

Good plan re wine. Don't watch the tennis though, will stress you out!!

So I did not opk yesterday as DH is now away for the weekend and we didn't dtd as he was too drunk tired. So my first opk this month will be cd 15 (Sunday) as ov should be cd16 or 17. (FX it'll be like the last 3 months)

muzzy shame af turned up

fedup 10 dpo may still be too early. With DS I was BFN with ERFR the day before af was supposed to arrive. And yes to drinking during 2ww, our lives are already miserable during that time so we need alcohol!

bart af normally lasts 3 days for me (but it's linked to using a mooncup as they were much longer before sorry TMI)

dildoos for your sil

not quite sure if I'm out of the game this month or not. AF may be making a very slow appearance. I have had the slightest bit of Brown CM when I wipe since last night but no proper AF yet. Will test if she hasn't arrived tomorrow. I really hope it's just implantation bleeding but I know that's quite unrealistic. If the witch does arrive at least I can indulge in some bubbly at the wedding. I have been quite naughty for the past couple of nights and had a few cocktails at parties but only cos I thought AF was here.

Good morning ladies

Nin-test test test that's norm for a bfp when levels are not quite high enough to stop af at first and brown bleeding old blood

Fed up- test wouldn't show yet am sure and fr say early but I don't think they work but only my opinion as never worked for me.

Muzzy- hope the sore boobs have gone! Is the af nearly over so you can get back on with DTD?

Stone- thank you for your well wishes will pass them on! Poor sweetheart has her appt tonight , going with her for support, any ideas of what to take as a pick you up bag? Thinking choc, trashy mags, anything else?

Still haven't managed to kick off ovulation test ? So looking like I may need some more grrrrr!
Does anyone have an expensive fertility monitor? If so is it worth me investing in one?

Today is the weekend and the sun is shining ! It's going to be a nice day except tonight at 8 for sil appt!

Happy weekend ladies xx

Hmmm can anyone help me with this or reassure me? I'm a bit confused.....I have had positive opk for two days running (cd13 and 14) and had awful ovulation pains yesterday (cd14) but my temp hasn't ally risen today and I'm really worried that I haven't actually ovulated... Is this normal? I thought that my temp usually rises up the day after I ovulate. Should we just carry on DTD (if we can muster the energy...)?

Oh dear I think I've managed to stess myself out that I'm not ovulating...

Hi piglet if you had a positive opk yest and the day before you might not have ov until last night or today even. So i expect your temp will go up in the next day or 2. I wouldnt worry about it! I'd still dtd today and tomorrow though if you can manage it

Nothing new to report here. Had a brilliant day at Croft's Circuit in the sunshine and saw Andy Sugden off Emmerdale racing!

Hope you are all havig a fab weekend

I'm afraid I don't know enough about ovulation sticks and tempting piglet. I'm going to have to learn about it though since ttc did not work for us this month. AF arrived yesterday just after I POAS. The witch could have come a little bit earlier so I didn't waste a perfectly good clear blue test.

So. .. my plan for cycle 2 is to try SMEP and start temping and charting on FF. Hopefully it will work, but I'm still taking the if it happen its great, if it doesn't I'll continue enjoying the summer in style approach.

Just opk which was neg but it was a very diluted wee and also I never get the mid smiley on cb. Will now have to try to convince a very tired DH to dtd tonight!

Try not to worry piglet. I don't temp but I opk and often get a positive for two days on the trot then goes by the third. Try not to panic as that can delay ovulation - the stress / panicking.

Keep DTD everyone - hopefully the Wimbledon win will spur you on!!!

Af due tomorrow or Tuesday (not sure which) but am scared now. I so don't want to see it.... But feel it coming and although not particularly hopeful - our shagathon was mega this month so will be gutted our efforts were wasted. I HATE the 2 ww. Wonder if next time i could just sleep for two weeks and wake up and get a bfp?! I can dream....

Evening (or should I say morning ) ladies!

Sorry haven't been in here for a bit, I have been trying to read all the posts but brain has gone to mush filling out and signing school forms this evening!

Ninu that had happened to me a few times where I poasand then af turns up, sods law huh. Sorry you got af but so good to see you are still ccontinuing on in good spirits

Fedup I am keeping fx that af doesn't make an appearance for you for all the right reasons keepus posted?

Stone hope you managed to get dtd in tonight

Dildoos how is your sil please send on hugz from me.

How is everyone else?

Im cd16 today (sun) and dtd last night. According to the ov calendars based on my last two cycles im supposed to be ov this tues which is when our next dtd session is then after that dtd will be friday and possibly next monday but I will see how I go as af is due around 22ndof july. Although if we didnt fall this month then at least then the due date wouldnt be 2weeks approx before ds birthday!!

Been a busy weekend here and set for a busy week too! But at least today had one victory with the tennis and Mr Murray

What are your plans for the week? x

So broke the rules and POAS this am and bfn. Shitty start to the week. Now just want af to arrive and I can get on with it. On constant knicker watch. no real symptoms its turnong up apart from lower back ache. Got the NCT weekend this coming one and still undecided what to do. Really don't want to go but then the other part of me just says man up, this is life, get on with it. God help me whatever!

Keep DTD abi and hopefully you will hit that ov day.

Dildo - how is your sil?

Have a good Monday all

Thank you for all your help - I still haven't got my cross hairs on FF and so don't really know hen I ovulated....I think it was cd 14 or 15 but am now on cd 17 and nothing. My temps were a bit weird a the start of the month as I wasn't get well so m wondering if this has affected it. My temp has risen now, but not by much. W weren't able to DTD on cd 15 or 16 so hope it wasn't a missed opportunity.

Well I guess I am in the 2ww now so we will see!

Hope you are all doing ok!

Gosh so many typos in that post....sorry!

Just popping on to say good luck for all those in the 2ww or soon to be in it!
Any news fedup?

AF has gone and am starting this month with a positive outlook. Have started runninng again and stopped smoking except for very special occassions.

Hi muzzy

Pretty down in the dumps as no af and no bfp either. And bfp would have shown by now if it was coming

Despite the sunshine am feeling pretty low but also guilty for feeling like that around my ds. Part of me is desperate just to forget this ttc lark and enjoy my little boy rather than counting dates, peeing on sticks and then crying all over the place. If only it was easy to stop.

Glad you have started this month on a positive! Keep that up!

Got my smiley today and DH should be ready for his duties tonight . Fx it works!!!!!

Hi my lovelies!

Muzzy - glad on your positive start to this cycle!
Fed up- heart is with you on this , after a parent once life is a constant guilt trip about one thing or another! But no af so no lost hope yet!
Stone yay for smiley! I used all mine and not anew pack so as we are timed I am going to go with yours :-)

Well this weekend was hideous, went with sil on Saturday it was heartbreaking but we whined to each other regards mcs preg ladies and skinny celebs!
However I managed to make her laugh so I ask all you ladies my question!

Imagine you are poor, £50,000 would you pimp out your other half for 1 night?

My answer when asked was hell yes, even not skint I so would as feel the shopping trip would let me get over it! DP not impressed As he said he could never do that to me lol!

So summary is I am a very BAD person

Answers please ladies xx

Ha ha! No I actually wouldn't do it. Thought of him DTD with another woman makes my stomach churn - even those he met before me!! Bit pathetic I know but it does! I would sooner pimp myself!!

Properly lost hope as am 14 dpo and surely that would give a bfp if there was one. Can feel af on its way too. Stupid witch.

Ps. Glad you managed to make your SIL laugh. It is good to have a laugh in such shitty times. And a good slagging off / rant is therapeutic too.

Now I really am mean
Oh yes we did laugh ! Her lowest was £100 bless her

dildoos glad you're in sync so you know when your ov is.

fedup take care. It's not over until af turns up

Stone how long are your cycles? Mine are 28 which makes me wonder if I suffer a short luteal phase? As no pos yesterday
Are you the same?

My cycles are 31 days. And I normally ov at cd16/17

Oh so I guess I am a short luteal phase. That's bad isn't it as needs to be 14 days for hormones etc! I had clear mucus today so i am certain I am today !

So the witch got me in the night.

Mega painful this one too.

Gutted as we really did give it everything this month.
