Nordicmom · 16/01/2014 02:18

... Am waiting for that smily face any day now...

Hi ladiesGrin

Can I climb aboard please? Af just kicked me off Jan busHmm not a suprise really as dp had performance issues and we only dtd once at right time!!!

This month I'm going for a different approach!! I'm not going to tell him at ov time and I'm also going to avoid any advances from him until the right time!!! I ov early usually on cd11 so hopefully I can wait till then and he'll be desperate! Well that's what I'm hoping GrinGrin

I'm also busy exercising lots and trying to keep my mind off ttc a bit!!

Anyway stats are:
Spinningirl10 ttc#3 cycle 3 post mc, bfp due 10th Feb

Morning all.
Worked myself up into a bit of a stress this morning, wondering if Ive made the right decision to leave off OPKs/temping for the first few months.
Ive got this awful feeling Ive ov'd early this month and missed our chance now. DH has a lot of travelling the next few months so I doubt we'll get much of a chance to really go for it. Now that we've decided to try I want my BFP now! (so impatient I know).
I guess we'll just keep DTD regardless and see what happens...think I am going to consider using OPKs next month even though they sound a bit confusing!

gennibugs · 16/01/2014 10:36

PS spinningirl I think that sounds like a good strategy :)

headfullofsweetiemice · 16/01/2014 11:08

Right, last cup of proper coffee drunk. Decaf all the way now!

rightaboutthestars · 16/01/2014 12:12

Sweetiemice, feeling you with the caffeine. Im a diet coke addict so its the gold stuff over here. Afternoons are rough without a caffeine fix. Thought it'd make me sleep better too but no joy so far xx

Diet coke is my biggest vice! I did manage to give it up when i was pregnant with DS but now i'm back to work I've slipped back into old habits. I think we need a diet coke addicts support thread.

rightaboutthestars · 16/01/2014 12:26

Hah I know. The gold stuff is nice enough. Just a shame the silver caffeiney goodness is everywhere. Its just to easy to pick up when you're flagging. Been tryingflavoured water and its just not the same. Who knows wth is in diet coke though? If thats whats holding back my bfp then I'd happily wave goodbye. Having a baby means a lot of giving up things so I suppose it's good practice! Xx

mama31 · 16/01/2014 13:53

Hi spinning!! Welcome to feb bus! Sorry your here and hope you get your bfp this month! I'm straddling both buses as bfp due early feb but no doubt I'll have tested (a million times) end of Jan so I'm kind of being greedy taking a seat up on jan and feb bus ;) sure why not?!!!

DH is working crazy shifts until sat! Then we have a major koala plan ready to enjoy his Saturday off ;)

mama31 · 16/01/2014 13:55

Sat will be cd10 and I usually ovulate around cd13 so should be early enough to activate the koala plan!!

mum2kiss · 16/01/2014 15:04

Im due to ov on Saturday so planning to dtd as much as possible the next couple of days. Dp is moving in this weekend so we are currently packing up his flat. Hopefully he wont be too tired to perform at the end of each day!!!

mum2kiss · 16/01/2014 15:06

Oh and are we not supposed tonhave caffeine at all?! I hardly ever have coffee and I dont drink tea but since last Saturday I have been having a milky coffee each day! Weird that I suddenly get a liking for it at what seems to be the worst time!

rightaboutthestars · 16/01/2014 16:32

Mum2kiss, maybe your body telling you it wants calcium? Xx

rightaboutthestars · 16/01/2014 16:35

Mum, after my chemical I beat myself up about everything I couldve possibly done. To the point of stupidity. So if anythings limited I have none, just for sanity. Lol, sanity, I remember it well xx

gennibugs · 16/01/2014 16:43

May I ask what the koala plan is? (Dont worry if not!)

:)

MrsExtraOrdinary · 16/01/2014 16:45

Hello is it too late to join? My last baby took about a million years to conceive so I might be here some time! Is that ok? But my af is due on my bday next week so I'm wondering whether that's a good or bad thing?

headfullofsweetiemice · 16/01/2014 18:09

mum2kiss a moderate amount of caffeine is fine. Its more the aspartame in the diet coke I worry about and only because I drink a ridiculous amount of the stuff.

mum2kiss · 16/01/2014 19:10

Thanks ladies. Was getting a little concerned!

mama31 · 16/01/2014 19:17

Gennibugs koala plan is advice received on jan bus (thread 2) from mrskoala who swears by the following for a bfp:

Spoon on manuka honey each day, orgasm AFTER DH always, cycle legs in the air after dtd for a few mins then lie with pillow under you with bum raised for 30 mins. Worth a try ;) can't do any harm! :)

mama31 · 16/01/2014 19:18

Ive cut down to 2 cups of coffee a day, that's really good for me but concerned it's still bad :/ not sure I can cope without coffee just yet!

mama31 · 16/01/2014 19:19

Genni that was meant to say spoon OF manuka honey! Not on! Hahaha!!! Oh dear I could have started a very very messy situation there for you ladies :/
