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.

Hi Linda I've tracked my period for about 4 years and it's ranged from 26-32 however most recently it's been 28, 29 or 30. Thank you

Maybe use the clear blue the next couple of days then, if your on a 28/29 day cycle this month the test is probably right, I usually get a +opk around cd13/14 if I get a 28 day cycle. Good luck to you

Can I check in please ladies?

I'm due AF 9th April, stats 'bellaboo88 ttc#1 month 4 (but not trying nor avoiding)'

I had a pill free cycle where we didn't try but no contraception either before 2 cycles, now having a 2cycle break as I'd prefer not to have a Xmas baby...but were not not trying either.

No notes, symptom spotting, military planning etc, only sexy time for fun. If it happens it happens. That's why stats are AF.

Sorry if you think I'm crazy!! To say I've only had 2 cycles, I'm completely stressed out by it. Don't fancy a Xmas baby as its a family running joke! Switching from 7seas trying for a baby vits to plain folic acid & normal zinc...see if this affects cycle length?!

Will be actively smep/opk/nudp etc from May bus :-) xx

Not crazy at all bellaboo that's how I wanted to do it as well... casual... not opks etc! It is stressful though, I think about it all the time too. Trying not to symptom spot and have military timed sex but its difficult not to! Not ventured in opks or anything yet.

Stats: ttc #1, cycle 6 (though only really started right at the end of Sept, so maybe cycle 5 and a half lol) AF/ BFP due 2nd April

We had planned on no opk's, no timed dtd, no early testing and no stress and so far I've ordered tests, opk's and going to buy Robitussin tomorrow, lol... Don't know who I was trying to kid with the taking it easy approach...

RPopz · 11/03/2014 19:30

Know what you meanlinda!!! We were "not trying but not not trying" for the first month.... That went out of the window straight after my first AF!!! I'm no good at casual, chilled out...

RPopz this is our first month ttc again and I'm already obsessed, my oh just leaves me to it and does what he's told when it's dtd time, he's a wee gem

Cd12 today. Ic OPKs have NO second line. Nothing. It should be a faint line, surely? Last month I was getting lines at this time.

RPopz · 11/03/2014 19:59

To be fair thats pretty much what we're doing... I've taken charge of the dtd-ing!

Hi ladies,

Just thought I would check in, nothing to report here though. Know what you mean bella about being stressed about things. It feels like forever even though it's only been a couple of months! We're always here if you need to offload!

bellaboo88 · 11/03/2014 22:23

Thanks girls, glad you're not judging me...some think I'm stupid for slacking off lol!

I thought it would be easy. I did cough meds but I can't say it worked for me as I get good cm/ewcm anyways. Will probs give opks a go but surely ewcm is as good of a signal? Im excited for sexy time, not DTD time! Xx

So I think I'm on 1dpo now. My cbfm gave me a second peak reading today, but my first peak opk was Monday night at 5pm, then cbfm picked up the surge the following morning at 7am, today's cbfm stick showed the surge as over.

I guess the egg could still be bobbing about so shall try and DTD tonight too. OH and I had a bit if a falling out last nightie so not sure how successful any advances from me will be.

Hi ladies re my ovulation questions yesterday I read the info sheet in the pack and it said that the permanent smiley would last for 2 days constantly and that I shouldn't test after that time. I am cd14 today we have dtd on cd8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and planning on dtd tonight as well. Not sure whether to keep dtd everyday till the end of the week or after tonight dtd every other day.

I don't think we have dvd had so much sex the last few months!! Lol

Good luck with bringing your oh round later sebs! They say makeup sex is the best! Lol I've thought that my oh would get sick of me nagging to dtd everyday but it's very easy to charm a man and change his or shall I say his tackles mind!! Ha ha

Emily I think you have defo covered the right times so maybe just another once or twice should do the job then take a wee break, have some rest and wait for the crazy symptom spotting to kick in, lol x

DrewsWife · 12/03/2014 10:23

Well I'm symptom spotting again. Promised myself I wouldn't do this!!!!

I went to work and I work for a food company. They had a selection of puddings in for the nightshift workers and it was across the office from my desk. The smell was making me queasy. Reallllllly queasy. I moved it out of reach twice and eventually sent it to the warehouse .

I'm still wiping light blood but beginning to see a pattern since we started trying of light bleeding around the time of what I would assume to be IB. It didn't used to happen

I work up with a sicky tummy and a thumper of a headache. I could just of course be utterly exhausted from working.

Cd10 and not started dtd yet! Need to do tonight! We not been in the mood this wk so far as we lost one of our pet rats, had to spend money on the car, doc wanted to see me about my latest bloods etc etc. Work is Knackering us out, DH was in bed 9.30 last night so didn't want to disturb him!

About this grapefruit juice thing... I actually started craving and buying it the last few months not knowing it had a ttc significance! How odd is that.

Happy Wednesday ladies x
