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

[DrewsWife]

Well here we are. Again!

Month 5 ttc #2 with a nearly 18yo DD

Well poas today. Even though I know in out but still negative. So hurry up May lol

Next month will be it!
I'm going to poas tomorrow morning. That will be 10dpo and 6 days before af due. But I'm getting tell tale signs of impending af.

bfn the morning. fleeting moment of excitement when a faint line appeared immediately. ..... only to disappear when I checked after a couple of minutes. That'll teach me for sitting watching it!!!!!

Bfn for me too this morning with an internet cheapie test. 12dpo so may still too early but not confident really.

I'm not confident either. The disappointment this morning almost made me cry. I'll try again on Sunday. Good luck to you. x

Oh, fingers crossed for you all, good luck. I should be ovulating around now but not feeling it and opks negative so far :(

Well guys that's it, I'm in the 2ww.

Dtd cd9, 11 and 13 only. Pos opk cd11. Only cd14 today but expecting another 26 day cycle like last month as ovd cd12 then too. So I guess bfp/af in order of preference as getting seriously impatient and fed up now April 23-24ish.

Did you do smep Vic? Good luck! X

No we didn't, meant to start that on cd8 but it was morning on cd9 the first time. Were still going to do EOD tho and we did but only 3 times!. Didn't think I'd ov that early as it was as late as cd18 2 cycles ago and coz last month was short I was expecting this one to be long!

Eod? We're doing smep (Mr Rpopz doesn't know though... ha!) Started on cd8 but my cycles are 32-35 days so have no idea when I'll ov! Could be a tiring month!! X

I told DH we were doing it and he was all like "do whatever". Smep dictated start on cd8 and then dtd every other day until pos opk then do it every day for ?days cant remember 2/3 then miss a day and do it once more for luck. That's based on 'normal' 28day cycle I think. I guess doing it 9, 11 and 13 was ok instead of 8, 10 and 12?! Who knows! Should have done it on 12 after the pos opk but was just knackered and can't do it again as dh is away for a few nights now. [Sad]

Oooh EOD is every other day! I thought it was some other fancy plan!!

Another lab baby announced on facebook. The 5th since we've been ttc and 2 have been born already with another due by c section next week. I've obviously not been sitting in the magic chair or something?

:-( Yeah there's a lot of preggers bms' s round here too! There's a girl I work with who's been talking really loudly about trying for kids straight after she gets married for ages. She's an attention seeking cow anyway, I ccan't stand her. Anyway they got married in Oct but think they're just starting ttc now juding by all the SHHH ITS A SECRET shit she's been doing recently. If she gets up duffed before me I think I will lose my shit! DH is all "well its not a competition" I know its not a fucking competition....

Anyway, that was my really roundabout way of saying I know how you feel! Chin up love x

Actually I feel like a bit of a twat saying that. I don't know how you feel. I know how I feel at 7 months. Can't imagine how you feel. Anyway. Stay away from the fb gloaters x

Don't worry about it rpopz I'm not going to bite your head off :-)

You know, I really just thought it would happen. Like it seems to just happen to most people. It was after month 9 I started to think uh-oh. Doc didn't seem concerned then of course. Month 15 I went back begging for tests and I don't even really know the significance of the results I've got. Increased LH (its meant to be a 1:1 ratio with FSH) but not PCOS? Mystery. Or is DH going to have a problem? Been waiting 8 weeks so far without even an appointment date let alone results after the b@#£%&ds forgot to send his referral letter!

I do just feel like giving up, but then I think come on just one more month, stay strong. But feels like I'm falling apart a little bit now. I'm very teary these last few weeks, very down, very 'i can't be bothered to do anything'.

I hope you lot don't have to go through much longer of this, I wouldn't wish this feeling of failure on anyone.

Yeah I remember being a tiny bit surprised it didn't just happen in the first month! These last 2 months I've been really anxious about it, but I have issues with anxiety generally anyway which I guess doesn't help.

That's shit you're still waiting for an appointment. Its so frustrating just waiting around, not knowing. The not knowing is the worst thing I think!

Its perfectly understandable you're feeling depressed. Its a lonely adventure. Really hope you get there soon x

Hi everyone - back from our holidays and I am gutted as AF came AGAIN....on CD18!! WTF is going on. I thought it was just spotting as it started really light on Friday, still wasn't convinced yesterday but today it is definitely AF!! What is my body doing? That pill has really messed up my cycle and it is impossible to predict......Cycle 1 was 40 days, cycle 2 was 26 days and this one 17 days.......I seriously cannot be ovulating properly or at all for that matter :-( I was doing the clear blue tests from CD7 as per the instructions up until we went away on holiday and didn't get any smiley faces. I'll try it again this month and see what happens and if it's another "silly" cycle then I'm going to the docs!! Hope everyone else is having better results......

Mel go to Gp. But it can take time for chemicals to come out of your system.

Well I'm waiting on AF. Been queasy all day. And sore boobs but seriously think it's pre AF as same happened last month.

Am at tail end of my crafty weekend away. Realllly relaxed and chilled out now x

Glad you're feeling a bit better now Drews!

I've been feeling queasy with sore boobs too. But I had my first horseriding lesson in 15 yrs yesterday so today EVERYTHING hurts! So, very hard to tell. Due af in 3 days tho. Had a BFN on Saturday morming.

tooth - I started back horseriding at the end of January after about 7 years.....it was agony to start with but the good news is that it gets easier!!

Just home after 5 hour drive. Having a snoooooooze then taking teen to choir.

Will need to empty the car of crafty goodies. But that can wait.

Tooth we are in synch aren't we?? I have AF on Thursday. Waiting for it to arrive so I can start again!

I cant believe how unfit I've become! !!

Yeah Drewswife we are in sync. Have you definitely discounted this month?

5dpo, feeling nauseous and didn't even fancy wine last night! Too early to be a symptom, prob something I ate. Have had like a bubbly tummy too, like trapped wind but no escaping wind! Lol!

Day off work for my bday and the weather is amazing! Been round a national trust property like the old fogie I now am! Haha! Back to work tomorrow tho, boo, but only for 3 days then another long weekend, woo!
