Not complicated at all laurano81! I have 13 yo dss and I've been with dh since he was 3. It took me 6 months ttc ds1 but ds2 was us not really being careful enough because I was more than ready for no2 even though dh was being financially sensible and wanted to wait. But it's almost 5years since I got pregnant with ds2 and dh is 48 so I do worry it won't be easy. I am 5 1/2st lighter than I was then so that should be on my side!

cinnamon fx you won't be waiting long for a BFP! You conceived quickly with your other DC Smile My DH will be 36 on Saturday. He agreed last month to get his swimmers checked. Grin I doubt there is anything wrong, but best to check so we know for defo x We are going to book it for this week whilst AF has a hold of me x Wow! 5 1/2 st Shock omg! You must feel amazing! Smile

laurano81 · 14/07/2014 21:03

pikz oh gosh! Fx the August bus will be good to you & you'll get your BFP Smile

lp the wispa was simply delicious, especially cos I dunked it in my hot chocolate Grin how long does your AF last? I had mine for 6 days last cycle Sad & had a bit of spotting even on CD 7!

laurano81 · 14/07/2014 21:06

Thanks for the stats list coffee x

HettyB · 14/07/2014 21:07

lp2014 · 14/07/2014 21:34

Oh laurano that sounds amazing! Can't beat a wispa.

Af usually about 6 days- today is cd6. Not too sure what to expect this cycle or when i should expect my next af- cycle usually 26 days but last month was 31 . Xx

Updated Hetty. MN's lack of technical abilities means any edits will just need to be a copy and paste job :)

laurano81 · 14/07/2014 22:39

Lp they should invent a giant size wispa for ladies enduring AF! Imagine Grin x My AF lasts about the same! Pain in the butt! I think 4-5 days is long enough! x Fx your time with AF has come to an end & she has hit the road Smile

I am off to bed,..feeling wrecked x At least when I wake it will be CD2!

Treaclepie19 · 14/07/2014 22:48

Sorry you're here laura, i agree about the massive wispa!
I'll be Cd7 tomorrow. Back to dtd.
(Long as af has gone)...

ChandlersFarang · 15/07/2014 06:08

Hiyaaaaaaaaa, ChandlersFarang here joining the August bus from its Thailand depot Smile no AF to report (am having a few medical interventions on account of my recent PCOS diagnosis!) but not expecting a BFP til August at the earliest now.

Lp - I like your DH's rational thinking on creating a human. Good stuff Smile

BitchPeas - you have the best user name I've heard in ages! Brilliant. Secretly coveting it from afar. Wink

cth1982 - I hear ya on the new PCOS diagnosis front! Good luck with getting yourself back on track. I've just started a new thread for anyone TTC with a bit of medical help which I'm hoping to discuss such matters in more depth on!

Massive love and luck to you all for this month's ride!! Grin X x

ChandlersFarang · 15/07/2014 06:10

Oops... Should know better than to forget to add my stats! Turned 32 this month which is annoying (so much for that old 'I'll have kids by the time I'm 30' chestnut, hey?!).

ChandlersFarang, 32, TTC#1, Cycle 4, BFP due August (will be more specific after my scan next week!)

Pikz · 15/07/2014 07:12

My body is behaving perculiarly. Peak today on cbfm and lots of ov pain it's only cd11!!

cinnamongreyhound · 15/07/2014 07:22

Feeling very :( I have to admit I do get quite hit my around the time I ovulate and in general want to dtd more than dh regardless of ttc. So after last month he agreed to eod, he's a morning person I'm a night time person iykwim, but he's usually tired quite early so we've been going to bed early as mornings tend to be early for us anyway and then it's a bit of a rugs and then he's not to tired! We dtd sat and I made a suggestion Sunday and he laughed in a you've got no chance way so ok fair enough. Then last night we went to my mums and I told him not to drink too much as my mum usually brings him can after can and he didn't but then was too full! So this morning he obviously knew I was annoyed and we had a quickie now I feel crap. I know he felt he had to and really over the weekend and last night I genuinely wanted to not because of ttc. Talk about killing the romance!!! Anyway cd 12 for me so Thursday/Friday should be the day and then I can relax and not this about it for 2 weeks Wink

lp2014 · 15/07/2014 07:26

Hi chandlers! Hopefully august is lucky for you!

Treacle i am cd7 today too.

Laurano,giant wispa is the ultimate! Let's get a petition to cadburys asap! :-) xx

lp2014 · 15/07/2014 07:28

Hi cinnamon, hope you are ok. Xx

MrsGingerbread · 15/07/2014 08:30

Wow. There are loads of us! Thank you for doing the stats!

I've been lurking but trying not to use mn too muchas we are not ttc this month. I must admit that I do feel better for it, but I can't wait for af to appear so that we can start again. :)

Anyway, I had to post today. If we are making giant chocolate bars I don't vote for a wispa... how about a giant Daim. Now we're on to something! ! ;)

Aprilray · 15/07/2014 12:53

Wow, what a busy bus the August bus is! Any room for another July bus evictee??

Aprilray 33, TTC #1, Cycle 8, BFP due around 12-14 August.

Really hoping this will be third bus lucky for me!
And maybe I'm meant to have an April baby and that is why April popped into my head as a user name ignoring the fact that my first two choices were already taken
Both DH and I have birthdays in April and due date would be slap bang in the middle (really must try not to get my hopes up!)

Only on CD3....ov time feels like ages away...

I vote for a giant galaxy ripple!

Sorry to hear af got you Aprilray. It is nice to see another familiar 'face' though. Here's hoping this bus is luckier than the last one.

MrsBeeBeeBee · 15/07/2014 17:22

Hello ladies. Sorry to those who have had a recent visit from AF.

Thanks for the stats list coffee. Really hope this is a bus full of BFPs.

Not been around much because lost the excitement of TTC with miscarriage but I've decided I need to stop feeling sorry for myself. Bleeding about stopped. Just waiting for my positive pregnancy tests to turn negative!

lp2014 · 15/07/2014 17:58

April! Lovely to see you but disappointed for you! Sounds like April baby may be fate for you, here's hoping!

Giant daim and ripple- oh yeah! I had daim icecream recently, it is delicious! DH not that into sweet stuff but had to fight him off for the last of the tub :-)

lp2014 · 15/07/2014 18:00

Mrsbee - fingers crossed you will have a lucky month

Af is gone so going to dtd tonight even though not yet in most fertile time. Nice to get a running start! Xx
