Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Did AF show up yet onelife

What about you Vicky have you caved and POAS yet or still holding out?

VJONES1985 · 01/09/2013 17:57

I don't know what's worse, the 2ww or the bit I'm on right now (cd6). Sooooo boring...

VickyVix · 01/09/2013 18:22

Hi all, I caved and POAS on Friday and again yesterday afternoon, I have no will power, and unsurprisingly both were BFN. What a waste of money!

I have one test left for Wednesday morning. Am 11 dpo today, not much to report other than sore boobs!

Any sign of AF onelife

VJones cd6 is better than cd1, your 6 days closer to ov and have lots of DTD to look forward too Grin

VJONES1985 · 01/09/2013 18:30

That's true. This month's aim is to just dtd lots whenever we feel like it until my fertile window and then dtd every day for those five or six days, rather than have a prescribed set plan, which could get quite stressful.

woodwaj · 01/09/2013 19:37

Might be best to save your last test until AF is late Vicky

vjones defo in the right direction keep at it Wink

I finish my Norethisterone on Wednesday so hopefully AF should visit me by next weekend!!

VickyVix · 01/09/2013 23:43

Very good advice woodwaj and you are 100% right, I should wait but I definitely want to test on Wednesday as I'm going away, if AF hasn't arrived by then. Have had odd shooting pains this evening on and off, doesn't feel like AF cramps but could be anything.

If BFN weds but still no AF I'll have to pack HPTs and AF goods for holiday!

An odd thing to say but I hope AF comes nice and quickly for you once the meds have finished so you can get back into the cycle.

vjones sounds like a good approach to me, hope it works for you.

woodwaj · 02/09/2013 19:19

Its easier said than done not testing! I only have two in the house and one is a CB Digital, and i'm saving that bad boy!!

VickyVix · 02/09/2013 23:20

I stocked up with three FRERs today, but I haven't cracked them open yet!

woodwaj · 03/09/2013 20:41

fingers crossed for tomorrow!!!

VickyVix · 04/09/2013 17:37

Thanks, was a BFN but no AF yet. Not really sure how many dpo I am, could be 11 but could be 12 or 13 so will see if AF shows up. If she's not here by Saturday I'll POAS again.

Last day of your meds today? Hope AF arrives for you soon so you can get cracking :)

woodwaj · 04/09/2013 20:49

Im excited for you, yes just having last tablet, Doc didn't say how long it should take to bring AF on He just told me when to start the clomid! its all go hopefully!!!

onelifeonechance · 05/09/2013 13:24

Hey woodwaj (waving) Sorry i didn't see your last message. Yes AF caught up with me Sat eve. Obviously sad but onwards and upwards, i'm CD6 today so ready for some dtdeeding this weekend. And did my first opk today (got stupidly excited about it, it's the little things in life!) no face but didn't think there would be as early days, feels good knowing it might tell me when i'm more fertile so keeping fingers crossed that we can time the bd better this month.
How are you getting along? Hope AF hurries up for you Smile Think we're home alone as Vix has jetted off (hi Vix if you read this have a lovely hols!!)

woodwaj · 05/09/2013 17:05

I would love to swap my no AF for your AF!! haha. You hear of loads of holiday babies conceived so fingers cross for vix I had a copy of the letter today that the gyno doc sent to my GP and it reads really positive, I thought I would be having a scan to see my poly ovaries but the scan he mentioned would actually be an early pregnancy one. You will either learn to love or hate he smiley face!! they are really handy though!!

VickyVix · 05/09/2013 17:57

Hi Ladies, landed a couple of hours ago and this hotel has wifi, phew!

Well I think AF has followed me here, not 100% certain but got that feeling she will be here by morning, TMI but had a small amount of spotting today. BUT, all is not lost as I do have my OPKs With me and with a bit of luck if this is AF she will bugger off in time for us to try and make a holiday baby before we head back to UK Grin

Good luck with yor OPKs onelife don't worry if the fixed smiley doesn't arrive straight away, I had 9 days of flashy last month.

woodwaj really pleased everything from your doc is sounding positive.

I have confidence we will all be upduffed by Christmas - and hopefully long before that!!

onelifeonechance · 05/09/2013 20:01

Glad you're there safe vix -isn't this slightly mad that you're on the other side of the world and we still get to chat?? Smile Hope af stays away but if she does rudely interrupt then I hope she does so quickly so you can get on with holiday baby making Grin And thanks for the reassurance bout the opks, v lovely of you both.
All sounds good woodwaj, i'm willing af to visit you v soon!
Fx that your Christmas prediction comes true vix, wouldn't that be great? Smile happy hollibobs!

NeuroticSweetTalk · 05/09/2013 20:50

Hi all, I'm a newbie to this site and to TTC also. Me and my OH have decided to start trying in December this year. I stopped my pill in May and am just trying to get a proper grip on my cycle so I (hopefully) know what I'm doing in December.

I'm 23 and DP is 22. I waited until now to ensure I had my soulmate (soppy stuff Blush) a place of our very own and financial security before having a DC. I've started Folic acid already (Started them in April) and am kinda getting the hang of the ovulation calender stuff, I don't bother with BBT though as I am quite often swinging between temperatures anyway but am tracking cycle length via a app on my phone and jotting symptoms, moods etc in a journal.

Although we're waiting until Dec we're still DTD pretty much every chance we get Blush (Could just be because we recently moved in together though Grin) Sorry this is long Smile

Good luck all Smile

woodwaj · 05/09/2013 21:01

Welcome neurotic looks like all of us are looking for a special Christmas present!! Sounds like your on the right track as well!! I am currently waiting to move house and that is more stressful than the baby making!! bloody solicitors

NeuroticSweetTalk · 05/09/2013 21:50

Thanks woodwaj yeah aha, December just seems like a good month, my OH says it'll be the best way to end our first year together Blush Yeah I know that feeling, me and my OH moved in together a couple of months ago and have only really just got sorted! Smile

woodwaj · 06/09/2013 15:13

No pressure from your OH then ;) id just try not to get too stressed by it and enjoy the whole thing!

NeuroticSweetTalk · 07/09/2013 12:52

Yeah woodwaj I think it's just because he's more looking forward to this than I am which I didn't think was possible aha. Nah we're not going to get too stressed (hopefully) Smile

woodwaj · 07/09/2013 20:10

It is strange when the OH is so keen, we had never spoke that much about ttc it seemed to just happen suddenly its exciting

Hibou7688 · 07/09/2013 20:33

Can't remember if i've already posted in here, but also ttc1 from about nov/dec time this year! Came off the pill this month so hoping my cycle settles quickly!! Bought some opks, so gonna have a practise with them too! Good luck everyone!! :))

woodwaj · 07/09/2013 20:56

Hi and good luck to you as well hibou

NeuroticSweetTalk · 07/09/2013 21:23

woodwaj it definitely is my OH works in Paediatrics though so he's mega broody all the time ^^ plus when we met up with some friends of ours and their baby I was staring at my OH for a good five minutes and he didn't even notice because he was watching the baby and smiling, it is exciting definitely Smile

Hibou Hi and good luck, it should do, obviously everyone is different but talking from experience, my AF took a month where it was a bit weird but then settled after the first cycle off my BCP Smile

VickyVix · 08/09/2013 01:28

Hi hibou and neurotic welcome! And good luck to you both :)
