Second day of af and keep checking the boards but don't feel like I fit in anywhere at the moment or have anything to say with two weeks till I ovulate! Anyone else in the same boat?? Really hope this is our month even though it's only our 2nd ttc. Going to get conception vits for me and other half and also try an ovulation pack so looking forward to getting to grip with those.

Lol, I did kate, I paid for the oh to get 1 so it was only right I did 2, was embarrassing but fun Smile

kurama · 16/03/2014 05:12

hey linda howz it going. I remember you from the last bus I was on before I had to have a few months break. (september)??? name changed since then only because I forgot my log in details its nice but not nice to see someone I remember on here nowHmm glad u had a good night out Smile

lindamagoo · 16/03/2014 05:35

kurama what was your name before? I've had an amazing night and this is me finally giving in and going to bed Smile I might be old but I can still party, lol...

kurama · 16/03/2014 05:53

lol you xan stay up later than me! (I just wake up stupidly early when poorly) oh yer lol meant to put that in it was skylarrose. not that I was very active on the buses last time

ChaircatMiaow · 16/03/2014 07:24

drewswife if AF is due on 18th, could you get one of those first response early tests and try now?

Was supposed to DTD tonight as am likely ovulating on wed but hubby has come home from bucks weekend, stinking and hungover and gross. I'd rather stick my finger in an electrical socket than go near him Grin

Starbright24 · 16/03/2014 07:44

How long do you reckon is a good time to lie down for with legs in the air after dtd. I'm worried about swimmers escaping but need to go to the shops.
Oh well.
Sounds different linda. Lol
chaircat - stick him under shower + feed him coffee

RPopz · 16/03/2014 08:49

You don't need to do that star, its a myth. I read you should lay down for 30 minutes after if you can, but there's nothing to prove it makes a difference either way.

Though I guess you've prob already gone by now... Hmm

Starbright24 · 16/03/2014 09:27

Hehe. I just don't like letting all the little swimmers get away. Feels wrong.
Remembered it was sunday and shops not open yet after I had got up. Scatterbrain!

RPopz · 16/03/2014 10:08

D'oh!

katecupoftea · 16/03/2014 10:09

I was worried about that too, but then read an article that said the act of them actually 'getting up there' happens in the seconds after ejaculation (gross word) and the rest is just wastage.

Doesn't stop me sleeping under a pillow, doing NUDP and clenching hard if I have to get up though!

Starbright24 · 16/03/2014 12:20

That's good to know kate Thanks Smile

DrewsWife · 16/03/2014 12:31

I'm sitting in a cafe in Glencoe laughing and trying hart not I snort coffee out of my mouth! Hubby is away walking and I'm exercising my arms lifting coffee cup and cake.... Quite an exhausting workout Grin.

Just tried to eat rice pudding and boaked. So hoping that's a great sign ;). I'm going to be sooooo pissed if AF arrives. Lol.

Struggled to get out of bed too this morning. I mean realllllly struggled. But to be fair been driving a lot of miles Smile

Peed myself laughing at the lap dancing. I'm not brave enough but hubby would grin himself to death if he got one. How are you all getting on with ovulation and stuff??

We used clear blue digital. I ovulate waaaay earlier than I believed. So I reckon I missed it for a couple of months.

I'm not going to poas until after AF is due. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not... I probably will.....

sebsmummy1 · 16/03/2014 13:06

The best way to ensure the swimmers get to their destination is to make sure you have an orgasm after he has ejaculated. This causes the uterus to spasm and the cervix then sucks the swimmers up Grin

I am on 4/5 dpo today and have nothing to report lol

katecupoftea · 16/03/2014 13:07

What cd are you on drewswife?
I think I might have ovulated but have no idea as no +ve OPK. Cheap bastards. I'd like to know though so I can stop dtd, I'm exhausted.

Speaking of which, does anyone erm... use 'tools' to ensure they at least enjoy all the dtd over ov? I just have this panic that it's actually dangerous.

lindamagoo · 16/03/2014 13:28

Kurama I remember your old name Smile have you been ttc since the old bus? We took some time off so I could get an op so this is out first month back at it Smile

I'm sitting here still giggling about our antics in Edinburgh last night, don't think my oh has got over the fact I paid for him to get a lap dance and got one myself, most defo not a side of me he has seen before but it was an amazing night, not laughed so much in a long time and it made for damn good sex this morning Grin

victoria401 · 16/03/2014 14:25

Yes rpopz I'm a BMS! What a coincidence!

Last month I ovd around day 18 and had 32 day cycle. This month I'm sure I ovd day 12 and all the feelings have gone now. Dtd day 11 and 13. Mind you last month I assumed I ovd day 12 too and then had a 2nd bout of feelings day 18 which I kinda dismissed and we didn't dtd after day 16, thought they might have survived tho.... Maybe this month will be similar, or completely different again! Its never predictable!

So I might be due af from around march 29th?

I wouldn't poas until I was late either drewswife.

And I don't believe in the legs in the air thing,but maybe that's what's been going wrong?!

RPopz · 16/03/2014 16:30

Kate from what sebs says, "tools" will be helping!! Unless you're using lube? Thats no good for spermies.

I'm in ov week according to my phone tracker app thing (well, ovd yesterday) so heading for 2ww. Think if it doesn't happen this month I'm going to take the plunge and get some opks even though I've been trying to avoid. I have a long cycle so makes it a bit harder to be certain I think. Though have felt fairly crampy this week so fingers crossed.

Been on a big dog walk with my cocker spaniel club and just eaten a humungous roast Grin

Victoria, better not say anymore in case it turns out we work in same dept or something lol!

RPopz · 16/03/2014 16:32

Also, Linda, maybe I should think about getting oh a lap dance then... might perk him up a bit! Not exactly overwhlemed with his enthusiasm at the moment!! Angry

lindamagoo · 16/03/2014 16:53

RPopz it's defo spiced things up a bit for us, my oh didn't even want to look at the girls never mind get a lap dance when we first went it, said he was worried how I'd react and he felt like a cheat so I said I'd get one too and let's just have a laugh about it later, none of us had done it before and it was an experience and turned into a proper laugh GrinGrinGrin

katecupoftea · 16/03/2014 17:27

No lube rpopz apart from conceiveplus (aka the best thing that has ever happened to ttc), just buzzy things.

I'm so jealous linda it sounds like an amazing night! I'd be well up for it but my oh would hate it. I think he'd hate it even if I wasn't there though.

lindamagoo · 16/03/2014 17:31

It was kind of reassuring to see my oh's reaction, atleast I know he'd never cheat, lol...

bellaboo88 · 16/03/2014 18:38

Kate, where did you get concieve plus from?

Decided to buy a few bits for may when we start afresh after our break. I'm going to get some opks, evening primrose oil (tried cough syrup & didn't increase much for me. Wishing this month away now!! Post Christmas baby cycle would put me at 18th Jan which I can deal with!xx

kurama · 16/03/2014 18:46

lol linda !!! tbh we havnt stopped trying! :( but with my old job i was under so much stress that it didnt help anything. I found a new job in nov but still decided 2 years was long enough to go to the docs for help. the clomid defiantly helped last month with predicting ov and regulating my cycle so fx for april!
Im glad you both had a great night out.

Hibou7688 · 16/03/2014 18:50

Forgot I'd started on this thread a while ago! I'm on cd22 of cycles that have been around 40 days [hmmm]. Don't think I'm gonna ov for another week or so, but got some cheapy and clear blue opks. Determined to get my first every solid smiley face this month, never mind a bfp!

lindamagoo · 16/03/2014 18:54

Aw good luck kurama, my pal had both her babies after starting clomid so fingers crossed you won't wait long now. I'll keep my fingers tightly crossed for you Smile
