Hopefully its just your body settling back down after coming off the pill chubby, bloody annoying though (literally!) Hope its gone soon for you.

Got a positive opk today, really early for me this month (cd13, usually cd 16-19) but then I had a short period too, wonder if that makes a difference? Rather regretting starting smep on CD 10 as opposed to 8 now! This is where the test lies for me, dtd 4 days out of the next 5 isn't something I'd normally initiate but determined to give it a good go!

edward49582 · 21/07/2013 18:40

Can I be added to the list?

Cycle 2, bfp due 13th August :)

ChubbyKitty · 21/07/2013 18:43

Not heavy heavy. Brown splodges mainly. Hopefully be gone soon as DPs birthday Wednesday Wink

Paully06 · 21/07/2013 20:19

Hey ladies,

I'm new to mumsnet, so may need some guidence! My hubby and I were trying for a few months from Sept - Dec (without the help of ovulation kits, just guess work) and I didn't fall pregnant. Jan - May my hubby was poorly, but all good now and we have been TTC since May :) I'm due to ovulate this week, and for the first time I will be using the digital ovulation kit. Its really nice to know there are so many others on the same journey!

Can I join the August bus?

Xxx

ImaginaryHat · 21/07/2013 20:50

Welcome Paully, course you can join! Just post your stats (which number child you're ttc, which cycle number you're on and when your bfp is due) and I'm sure whichever lovely lady updates the list next will add you.

Our circumstances are spookily identical to yours. We did some casual ttc before Xmas for about 3 months, then had an enforced break due to illness until we started properly ttc in May. Weird!

Paully06 · 21/07/2013 22:08

TTc for baby number 1! this is cycle 3 and my BFP is due aprox 10th August. fingers crossed for everyone!!

Wow Imaginaryhat that's uncanny! Onwards and upwards now hey :)
I find having timed sex difficult sometimes, coz I'm a shift worker...Im on night shifts this week and it's the important week! So hubby has to go to work late each morning so we can DTD! It's the last thing I want after a night shift haha xxx

ImaginaryHat · 21/07/2013 22:29

I know I couldn't believe it when I read your post, I could have written it! It was me that was injured not dh in our case though, as you say onwards and upwards now!

I find having timed sex difficult cos, well, it just feels a bit unnatural having to do it on set days rather than when you're actually in the mood. I bet shift work makes it that much more difficult though, power through and just think of the lovely end result when I bet all you wanna do is fall asleep at the end of a shift!

Ninunina · 22/07/2013 08:31

Welcome to the thread paully! Hope it's a lucky one for you!
Chubby I found a lot of things changed when I went off the pill after being on it for a decade or so. It took a while for things to get back to normal, so I wouldn't worry too much.
2dpo for me! I'm debating if I should avoid booze during these 2 weeks. Its going to be a tough one since the next 2 weeks are filled with pool parties, dinners, bbqs, wedding anniversary celebrations and girls nights. Quite a few friends are visiting at the moment so my days are a lot more packed then they normally would be. Maybe I'll set myself a 2 drink limit!

DisneyDiva87 · 22/07/2013 10:49

Thanks Imaginary! I did remember over the weekend (moving the opks to the bathroom helped as a reminder). I've not had a +ve yet though but told OH that he is getting some later whether he wants it or not. Hope I've not missed ov I'm CD14 and been testing since CD11 so there is a slim chance I have.

When do you usually ovulate Disney? In my very much non expert opinion I reckon you've a far greater chance of not having ovulated yet than missed it, fingers crossed its soon!

DisneyDiva87 · 22/07/2013 12:36

It was around CD14, I'm just looking at me app and realised that it only shows the graph for the current cycle.

I just had to try out the new emoticon!

ImaginaryHat · 22/07/2013 13:28

Ah I love it! I reckon boy just cos of all the fuss about it potentially being a girl!

Probably any day now then Disney Smile

DisneyDiva87 · 22/07/2013 13:34

Shagfest week I think

I have no opinion on the little baby Crown but for poor Kate's sake I hope she isn't still in labour nearly 8 hours later!

I'm more concern with what to have for lunch than royal babies

OP posts:
ImaginaryHat · 22/07/2013 13:46

I love the royals (the immediate ones anyway, not the 6 times removed hangers on) but I do think the media attention its given is ridiculous. Just let her have the baby without all the announcements of the start of labour etc and then make an announcement when its born. She must feel under so much pressure poor girl!

I know, I agree Imaginary I'd hate to be stuck in labour for dear knows how long with a media circus camped at the door! It'll be fine if all goes well but what if (God forbid!) the worst should happen and things go wrong? They should be able to send a quiet note to the media without having all this carry on, same for good news anyway!

But I suppose this is what comes with the territory these days.

Hi ladies!

Can I join in too please? I've never posted on mumsnet before but have lurked for quite a while!

nuppet TTC#1, cycle 1, BFP due 10th Aug

I'm calling this cycle one because DH and I DTD last month without contraception but I was already 4 dpo so no luck. This month is our first 'proper' try at TTC. Feeling very excited!!

Fingers crossed for everyone!
