forgot stats in excitement!
mummies 34,ttc #4, first cycle

cinnamongreyhound · 17/07/2014 14:23

Dh and I are not really compatible in desire to dtd normally so ttc amplifies it pikz!

So sorry to hear that Laurano81, you should have come to vent your frustrations.

Hi Mummabubbles! I'm ttc #3 after spending the last 2 years trying not persuade dh!! This will be #4 for him.

MrsGlitter · 17/07/2014 14:49

Room for one more?
My story: had copper coil removed on May 2nd, fell pregnant nine days later(!!!) but MC June 2nd.
AF came exactly 28 days later, passed a few clots then jumped right back into testing OV just to be sure it was all working as it should again - and it was. Got my surge, did the dance (repeatedly!) and now in the to week wait. I'm quite overweight and this set my sister back so I'm trying to be healthy and lose it so I can give myself the best chance.
Exciting times for everyone! Good luck, all x

MrsGlitter · 17/07/2014 14:51

Oh and I am 31, this is our first attempt at ttc.

CoffeeOne · 17/07/2014 20:33

Hello new folk!

CD14 for me and about 10 days away from ovulation so just DTD every other day and trying not to think about it.

CoffeeOne · 17/07/2014 20:36

MrsGlitter I'm also trying to lose weight whilst TTC! Not as easy as it sounds....

I'm about 2 stone heavier than last time I was pregnant. I actually lost a bit of weight during pregnancy (I was very aware of what I was eating and it made me make healthier choices) but it was the life afterwards that drove me to takeaways and chocolate! Haha. So hopefully I can shift some lbs with all the trying Grin

ChandlersFarang · 18/07/2014 06:22

...so I guess my stats could be amended to BFP due 31 July next time!! On phone so can't sort it myself. Smile

HAPPY FRIDAY! XX

Wineandchoccy · 18/07/2014 07:09

Good morning, CD 9 today and we have dtd twice so far. We are trying to dtd every other day but I have long cycles usually around 35 - 41 days so got to try and remember to have fun as well as doing if at the right time.

I've not started using opks yet and I'm not sure whether to not bother this month and just go by ewcm.

Treaclepie19 · 18/07/2014 07:37

wineandchoccy you're doing well!
Normally we would have managed at least twice by now (cd10) but I've been feeling unwell. Got to make a real effort tonight though. It's getting a bit close to ovulation!

dancestomyowntune · 18/07/2014 07:49

Anyone else starting the tww? It's he'll. I'm desperate to POAS!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 18/07/2014 07:55

I think I'm on tww now too. I've not been testing ov for a few months as it did make me even more demented. So I'm just going with cm changes and a few stabby pains. I've abandoned all supplements entirely. But I can say I'm caffeine free for 3 weeks. Dtd last night. Cd14 Last cycle was 28 days previous cycle was about 34 so might carry on dtd if I can for a few more days. Bfp due 31st July or thereabouts. Planning to test on my return from holiday on 1st August.

MrsVonBlack13 · 18/07/2014 08:07

Oh my dear lord!!!!! It's happened!!!!!

Toot Toot! It's the August bus - here to bring us all our hot, hot, hot summer BFPs!
Serenitysutton · 18/07/2014 08:20

Oh hello all! Hope we're well on this hot and sticky day!

ive just started a new thread but maybe should've asked in here! Will copy:

I'm confused, it's my first month using clear blue and I had flashing smiley CD 9-13 then solid smiley day CD 14. But my fertility friend has deemed ovulation on CD 13 when my temp increased, which I understand is accurate, however the test didn't detect any LH into urine that day, which I understand needs to happen before the egg is released?

The only thing I can think is the egg was released at some point on CD 14 after I tested (FMU) but if this were the case would there still be LH the next day? Doesn't that mean the LH surge and egg release happened very quickly, within a few hours?

Serenitysutton · 18/07/2014 08:20

Mrs vonblack!!! Yay!!!

dancestomyowntune · 18/07/2014 08:20

Congrats

Mrs

TheGrandHighWitch · 18/07/2014 09:53

Wow massive congrats MrsVonBlack13, looks like you managed to catch the July bus after all Smile.

CD13 today and my monitor has gone straight to a 'peak' reading today after being low so far. Had ewcm last night but put that down to the evening primrose oil capsules I have been taking so didn't jump my husband. Oh well, can try to make up for it today lol.

cinnamongreyhound · 18/07/2014 10:59

Congratulations MrsVonBlack13!!

I had ov pains weds evening and ewcm but pains all gone yesterday morning and then back yesterday evening. We dtd weds night so should be ok but I wanted to again last night when I got in from babysitting but dh was too tired and didn't feel well this morning. He's promised this evening between him coming in and me going out. Wondering if I did ov weds evening, there was definitely more ewcm weds than yesterday but I guess it doesn't matter too much just gives me a better idea when to poas.

Hope everyone else is getting on well :)

BitchPeas · 18/07/2014 12:48

Congratulations mrsvonblack13 Smile

Congratulations Mrsvon ! Xx

Serenitysutton · 18/07/2014 17:52

Thanks hopeful mum. I think I've worked out I must've ovulated CD 13/14 after I tested on cd13 but before testing cd 14- probably overnight, because the urine with the LH surge was still in my body the next day? We DTD pretty much everyday from CD 9 anyway.

So I guess it's waiting now!

CoffeeOne · 18/07/2014 20:24

Wooohooo Mrsvon!

ProbablyMe · 19/07/2014 09:27

Happy Saturday!

Quick Q : has anyone else TTC after having an implant out? I have been told that fertility returns pretty much right away and have heard of some people having AF right away (same day sometimes) and some people getting a BFP without getting AF at all. I've just been having pains on the right hand side sort of like I remember ov pains used to be. Could this be the case or am I deluding myself?
