Still here, still ttc, still POAS, still symptom spotting, still counting days, still temping, still shagging and still absolutely nutty!!!

Not temping or OPK (as last time I became poas mad, mad, mad and know if I start, I'll never stop), but I'm day 11 of cycle, have dtd twice and intend to dtd tonight and then another day (if we can keep up the rather increased sessions!! Blush). Hoping that it happens soon as not sure this is sustainable!

Good luck everyone, lets hope the bank holiday holds some good news Grin

Ha ha ricecakes that has cheered me up no end. Sounds positive. I conceived easy with #1 as well. Gonna go on Tuesday and see what they say.

Sparkly have you been this late before? I got a BFN with my DS and then BFP a week later so it can take some time for it to show up. I would wait until 1 week late before POAS again if you can wait that long....Confused
Fingers crossed x

hehe Whynot No, they only time I've been late is when I am on the pill. Off the pill, it is always like clockwork, on the 20th. I'll try to wait as long as I can! I think with DD I tested when a week late and it showed up straight away, so it may just take time with me! Arg the suspense is killing me! Doesn't help my sister-in-law is pregnant lol

Got everything crossed for you and feel free to rant over next few days as you suffer from trying desperately not to POAS syndrome. Confused
You can do it! LOL x

Ok, so my grand plan of avoiding poas and not going mad has gone by the by, now I'm symptom spotting about ov all the time. Should have just saved myself this new type of crazy and stuck the poas madness I did last time. Urgh

Sorry for all the bfns. But at let we can all have a drink this weekend! Nice got the inlaws here so I will need one (or many...)...

Hope those planning to test this weekend have some good news!

Feeling very tired at the moment so I'm a bit worried I'm not going to feel much like DTD next week! Also very stressed out about inlaws being here for a week (we don't really get on) so that's not really going to help much.

Well it's cd10 and not dtd yet. I'm just not feeling it this month. Hoping to start tonight. Just hope I'm not too late, last cycle was only 23 days so I suppose it could have happened already?! Panicking now!!!

Morning all. Sorry to hear about all the BFNs. I'll be testing next weekend and I've been very good about steering clear of coffee and alcohol. Today's my birthday though and I think my lovely DH is taking us all out somewhere so I may be naughty and have a tiny glass of something nice. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Wine

Morning ladies. Sorry about all the BFNs. Boooooo!

DH and I are officially in the race now! It was funny coz we were both so tired last night - went to friends and didn't get back until after 1am - but knew we had to. I didn't have to encourage or remind him he just knew!! It's so nice that its not just me!

We need a BFP on here soon - it's been too long!!

Great to catch up on all the news!

Good ish news for me as my reflexology worked and AF finally came after 74 days.

Going to have a few more treatments and hope AF will come more regularly!

Am making a more conscious effort to eat more fruit/veg, cut down on wine, eat oily fish twice per week, 30 min walk at least 5 times a week and take pre preg vitamins (dh takes these also as I have him convinced we will find it much harder to get pregnant!)

Have a great weekend!

Ugh. Went a bit over board with the booze last night. Feel good for having done it though without ttc shadow over me.

Tried not to get upset when people we are away with are talking about no 2 and even 3 and kind of forgetting / ignoring my situ (they all know about mc etc). Will be v upset / annoyed if one partic lady gets preggers before me. Her first is 7 months younger than my ds and she just assumes that she will have another just like that. What gets me is I think she will. I need to accept it will probably happen but it's tough all the same.

Good news re cycles marbles

And i do like opks too! My ov does vary every month with my cycle length at the mo so it does help to have them in think
