So.. According to my app I was due to ov on wed CD 18.. Started using CB opks on fri CD 13 so got the usual blank circle yesterday got a flashing and today a fixed! on CD 15.. Haven't managed to DTD in last couple of days and was hoping would be ok if just did it as much as poss this week but now I'm worrying I've missed it will def DTD tonight and tomorrow, but do you think it's too late??

Vicky how did telling people go??

broodysnoopstie · 16/12/2013 08:24

Well I'm out for this month as dp was too drunk to dtd last night and he's gone to work before I woke up this morning. Def missed the window. :(

Vickyvix · 16/12/2013 09:46

Ah broody you could try and give it a shot tonight, if you got fixed smiley on Sunday it means you would ov 12 to 36 hours later so any time yesterday or today. I would see if you can DTD tonight/ tomorrow morning as there could still be a chance.

Telling work and family went well, our secret is out now! Just friends to go which will be later this week :)

Hi everyone been meaning to pop in been super busy with xmas do's (3 in one week!) and a concert and another 2 rooms now decorated!!

Made a chocolate log tonight or "Buche de Noel" as Mary Berry would say!

Really glad to hear your scan went well Vicky and now you can not drink without people being suspicious!! how many weeks are you now? Are you still going to find out what your having next time?

Broody, Keep at it you may not have missed the window yet!! DP owes you something bloody good for xmas for getting to drunk!!

I am showing no signs of ovulating this month naturally but I didn't expect to, I am enjoying my month off though its really nice not to be stressing about it but im at the hospital Wednesday morning for a new plan of action so ill pop back in to let you know how it went.

And hello and good luck to all the new ladies!!

Vickyvix · 17/12/2013 08:37

Hi wood good to hear from you. That sounds like a mammoth load of Xmas do's! I'm impressed. And decorating too! I have been meaning to paint a single wall for about 6monyhs and still haven't done it

Yes, we are definitely going to find out next visit what this little bean is, I can't possibly not know for the next 5.5 months! I'm almost 14 weeks now.

broody I hope you managed to get some DTD in last night/ this morning

Rachswift · 17/12/2013 08:54

Hi I've in been in here about a week we are currently ttc it's can be very stressful we already have a 2 year old (nearly 3) and we feel it's the best time to start trying, the best advice I can give any one is not to stress, we've said if it happens it's happens! That's what we did with our last I did everything to get pregnant and 1 month we decided we weren't going to stress out and obsess with tryin as we were going on holiday in 3 months time. I found out a week before going on holiday that I was 6 weeks pregnant! Enjoy sex it shouldn't b stressful

broodysnoopstie · 17/12/2013 20:44

Hello ladies. Wood Vicky Thanks for your lovely messages. We dtd last night but not this morning. I think it's a long shot as I had pain sun afternoon but never mind. Glad telling people and scan went well vicky so exciting you will find out soon. Do you have a preference girl or boy? wood very impressive what a busy time! Sorry you didn't Ov but good that you are so relaxed about it Hello to new ladies xx

woodwaj · 18/12/2013 12:20

Hi all. Went to the hospital and he said I have responded well to the clomid and thinks I will ovulate on my own this month I presumed I wouldn't but he did give me a new supply of meds just incase and I would expect to be ovulating soon so looks like im possibly back in the game this month. Hasnt increased the dose of the clomis either!

cbmb12 · 18/12/2013 21:40

Hi guys - I am a total newbie. Had IUD (non hormonal) removed in November and have been ttc since then....how has everyone else found conception after IUD.
(I am 29 by the way)

woodwaj · 20/12/2013 18:57

Hi cb. I dont really know anything about iud! Sorry I cant help!

broodysnoopstie · 21/12/2013 10:28

wood fab news from hosp yay! !!!!!

Sorry I don't know about iud either CB

Hibou7688 · 21/12/2013 13:39

Internet cheapy opks, are stressing me I out so just bought a clearblue digi one on ebay, it comes with 10 tests. Just wondered where everyone buys more test strips from once these 10 have ran out??

woodwaj · 21/12/2013 16:25

Thanks broody. I know I have ov'd or due to because its natural I had loooots of cm mainly on Thurs and some yesterday. Dtd last 2 nights and will today just incase hoping I havent missed it we were quite enjoying some time off haha.

Hibou, each pack comes with a new tester as well as strips you don't re-use them

Ive asked santa for a positive for me and my mumsnet friends for xmas! X

Hibou7688 · 21/12/2013 16:35

Oh.. I was under the impression that cos they are much more expensive you only buy the tester once then the strips separately. Pee on each one once, but re use the tester each each time?

woodwaj · 21/12/2013 18:08

Nope! CB make much more money by telling you to use a new tester everytime. I think you can reuse it but theres not much point as you get a new one anyway!

woodwaj · 21/12/2013 18:57

Hibou7688 · 21/12/2013 19:33

Tut! I feel robbed haha. I'll have to save these ones for super special ov testing days!

woodwaj · 25/12/2013 08:50

woodwaj · 01/01/2014 10:23

Vickyvix · 02/01/2014 10:33

Happy New Year ladies!! Sorry I have been away for a while. I hope you all had a fab Christmas and new year.......and I hope 2014 is the year for all of you!

wood a bit delayed, but that's good news from your hospital appointment. How is your 2ww going?

woodwaj · 02/01/2014 16:59

Welcome back! I was getting lonely! Not too bad its gone really fast. I think because I havent been in work I haven't noticed. Shows how much I day dream ha! Day 30 tomorrow thats the longest I will have gone so far so I might do a test sunday if no af? I dont feel any different though...other than fat from christmas cake and0d chocolate and biscuits and drink....

What week are you on now?

amyloulou1 · 02/01/2014 19:05

hey ladies im looking for some help. im not sure if im normal i am only young at 19 and everywhere i look i see young girls pregnant, that isnt the issue they are more than welcome to if they look after the children well. what i am concerned about is my wanting for a child. i always said i didnt want children and now all of a sudden its all i can think about even though i dont have enough money to provide for one, im not sure this is normal as its never bothered me before. ive been with my partner for about a year now and we both know we are not ready but i still cant stop thinking about having my own child, is this normal? even though i know in myself im not ready, is there anyway i can stop thinking this way?

woodwaj · 02/01/2014 22:02

Im not sure amylou I think its just a woman thing? Hopefully its a feeling that will pass till your ready. At least you both on the same page and know what you want! That's the hardest part normally
