If at first you don't conceive...shag, shag and shag again. BFP due in April.

Well here we are. Again!

Month 5 ttc #2 with a nearly 18yo DD

Positive opk today on cd12.

Hello ladies can I join you?

In my two week wait here. month 3 ttc #2, my little boy is 18 months.
On cd 24 today. Not sure when AF is due because my periods are not back to normal yet (stopped pill in November) have had a 33 day then a 24 day cycle. So if it's a short cycle AF could turn up any day now.

I'm very impatient. Wish I could just not think about it, setting myself up for disappointment. Determined not to POS before cd30 (sunday).

Good luck everyone.

Hi, can I join? Just got af :( so am just starting cycle 4 of TTC #3.

Had a lot of mid cycle pain, was afraid I'd produce twins (eeek!) But now worried I didn't ovulate at all not over analysing at all

Welcome along.

Am just hitting count day 13. Had ovulation marker for two days so only managed to dtd 2 times due to shifts and hubby being unwell. No hope for us this month. Ah well. Always may lol

Hello :)

I'm ttc #1, cycle 4 and on cd14, have had positive opk for 3 days in a row, initially started out this month doing smep, but the 3 positives have thrown me off! Good luck all.

Morning all...cowbiscuits I'm in same boat regarding the pill (December)...strange cycles too. My clear blue opk arrived yesterday and it says to start testing today which is cd7 so I'm off to poas!

Cd4 and stopped bleeding already, bonus! Few more days of peace for DH before the dtd begins! Told him the plan and he was just like "do whatever you like" and he'll go along but... "its your obsession not mine". Not sure what to make of that.

Wow Vic. Not sure what I'd make of that either! They can be so bloody insensitive can't they. Me and Mr Rpopz had pretty serious words a couple if weeks ago about the fact it was me doing everything and him just "going along with it" He's kind of making the right noises at the moment but... not sure how long it'll last!

That's an odd thing to say Vic....I would be having a word with him! OPK didn't have a smiley face this morning.....try again tomorrow!

Negative words from Dps hurt. Is he maybe shielding himself from hurt. I know mine has been hurt at our not conceiving xx

Had an appointment with nurse for my smear yesterday. I'm still on yearly smears thanks to cancer cells in 2012. Glad I never miss those awful smears! Had major amounts of laser treatment. Thankfully didn't need more than three lots of that!

Nurse was faaaab. She is old school and told me to fling my fee against the wall if that's what I want to do. Ignore the young docs. Oh and here is a basal temp chart lol.

Tips on making sure that hubby comes inside me . Make sure not to pressure him too much. have sex as often as you want and can.

And other stuff. She was brilliant. She also suggested reflexology too. Haven't broached that one yet as I'm not keen on my feet being touched

Drew! Do it! Reflexology is amazing! I'm a convert to having my feet touched! I come out feeling relaxed with a spring in my step :-)

A realllllly stupid question. I ovulated last night. Am I still fertile?? Do I still have a chance??

I think the egg lasts for 12-24 hours, so yes, still a chance (although I always wonder how long it takes those spermies to swim to the egg)

Well missed the boat. Hubby still unwell. No point starting my 2 week wait now is there.

Just about ready for work. Am only on til midnight. Thankfully and then off tomorrow night.

Its funny you're all talking about reflexology today! I was researching it last night, debating having some done. The scientist in me doesn't want to believe it'll have any effect at all but I've read so many good things about it on here!! Can't hurt eh?

Drew did you dtd before you ovulated because I think the couple of days before hand are better than the actual day! X

I had reflexology for the first time at the weekend and can highly recommend it. The lady explained to me at waht point on my feet/ankle the ovaries and fallopian tube are, the massage was really relaxing and she said at the end that she hadnt felt anything unusual in my reproductive areas, and had done a hormone balancing bit for me at the end. I will go again next month, more for the relaxing part than for anything else.

HI there, I might just join you guys if that's okay? I'm waiting for af to show up, anytime before Friday so I still have a stupid hope that it might just not turn up and I'd be getting an early xmas present!

I jumped my husband the day before ov was supposed to have happened, but no really had any signs to indicate that we were successful this month :(

How do you guys feel about an xmas baby if you are successful in April? My son was about a week early in 2011 and given my dates that would mean almost certainly a very early January due date, not sure whether to sit this round out and start trying again in May. Mind in a years time I don't think I will be so fussed about timings if we still don't have a baby on the way!

Rpopz. Friday and Sunday. That's all. Eeeeeeek

It only takes one Drew ;-) x

Morning folks.....and welcome to JacktheLab!

Having a bit of a stressful week so far. My DS's father has decided to needlessly raise a court action for contact.....a massive inconvenience and stress when we are TTC! I got intimation that he's applied for legal aid so had to go to see a solicitor yesterday to go through the history of it all. It's very convoluted but the upshot is that I have never refused contact, he's just been extremely inconsistent which isn't really in the best interests of DS who is only 7. The other problem is that he lives 250 miles away! Effing idiot. It's going to cost us a fortune in solicitors fees as well. Effing twat. Sorry.....ranting!

We're going away with the caravan on Sunday for a week's holiday to Northumberland so I am desperately waiting for a smiley face on the digital opk before we go lol.....dtd in the caravan is not really an option/practical lol!

drewswife you might still be okay if you dtd on Sunday and Ov'd on Monday as the swimmers can last 3-5 days......fx!!

Mel I don't envy you that. My years of exP raising needless court orders and thankfully behind me.

As long as you can prove he hasn't been denied access then I can't see why he should get legal aid. But the idiots always get their way eh.

Afternoon ladies, hope we're all well. My fertility monitor got delivered this morning but I was at work so now its gone to the sorting office aargh!

We too are suffering from needless court cases.... Dhs ex doesn't want his to dds anywhere near me (oh the cliché). We've had 3 yrs and thousands of pounds worth of court time.... next court date in June. We have decided we can't put our life on hold anymore so ttc despite it all!

Anyhoo.... Awful IBS pains today. This happened last month around ovulation too. very sore. Hardly making me want to dtd.
Anyone else get this?

Rpopz - how annoying!
