Hello Ladies!

Thought I'd try and get some of the 20+ hopeful Mummies together.

My lovely DP and I don't want to let on that we're TTC so I'm lacking friends and a chit chat about all the downstairs what not. DP will die inside if he has to hear about cycles/ovulation or temperatures anymore!

Let's get some BFPs going!

My DH and I have decided to start TTC, but I was on the injection for 5 years and I've been off of it for 3 months and still no visit from AH :(

Although we have decided to stop using condoms, he was concerned if I did conceive whilst not having a proper cycle it could harm the baby, but turns out this is all myth! :)

Looking forward to hearing some good news!

Hi ladies can I please join too 28 ttc#1 cycle 2 I did opks this month and glad I did as fertility friend had me down as ovulation time day 14/15/16 and I had positive opk on day 11 so think I ov'd cd12! So if I'd not DTD going off the app could if completely missed it! I have no ewcm to spot so helps me out! Now just got a whole 6 days to wait!

Ladies who are waiting on their AF after depo injection I waited over 6 months for my AF to come back a couple of years ago and the only reason it did was because I started taking the pill to kick start it again! So can take time!

Good luck to everyone this month babydust to all of u!! X

I've been charting this month to see what my body is up to. On CD 13 today but have no O symptoms yet... Little bit worried, my temp is hovering around 32. DP is away and I join him Sat, fingers crossed it waits!!
Love that you are thinking of ways to announce it, I've always wanted to do something different but when the time comes I'll prob be so excited I'll just blurt it out :)

Roughtyping / that's such a good idea.

It might be nice to start a thread and find out all if the exciting and fun ways people have / plan to tell people when it happens. It's nice to look forward to those things.

Hi and welcome to all the new ladies!

Sorry not been part of the convo past couple days - love having t'internet being cut off lol stupid bills!

Oh IP sorry to hear AF got you - I'm just waiting for mine to appear now (any day now!) so we can start our first DTD marathon!

I love hearing/seeing all the different announcements, usually involves parents shoes and then a pair of baby shoes lol which i think is so cute - although I know one person who announced it on Facebook with a picture of the scan and then "insert generic announcement here" I mean WHAT THE F*CK it's a good start when you cba to even make a nice effort in announcing what should be one of the best things in your life! C'mon!!

How are all you ladies planning on announcing it when the time comes?

I am not at all imaginative and have no idea other than telling people...

I loved telling everyone I was having DS I didn't announce it though FB or anything because I so enjoyed telling people face to face. I just used to say guess what i'm pregnant and everyone would coo and ask lots of questions it was great. Will be doing it 1 to 1 when DC2 comes along i'm excited just thinking about it!!

Good evening ladies.

Any news on the TTC front?

Hi ladies can I join? I'm 23, DP is 24 and we've been TTC for 12 months now since I had the implant removed (implanon).

12 months was a bit of a depressing milestone so I bought the Cbfm to give me an outlet and feel a little in control. Got my peak this morning on day 14 and we've dtd 5 times this month, twice in the last 48 hours. We read somewhere it's better to be dtd lots the first week to make sure his soldiers were there waiting for the egg - turns out sperm can't even get into the womb (only there can they survive for more than a few hours) unless I'm close to ovulating which is happening a week later than we thought the best time was.

So, basically. Fingers crossed this cbfm and proper research will do the trick.

Absolutely nothing. But that meant I got to get drunk at my friends' wedding last night Grin and had lots of nice dances with DH. Feeling all soppy today!

Hi all. Hope everything is well.

Currently on cycle day 11 of 1st month ttc.

Were on holiday now and the ovia app says that my fertility score is 3.5 today moving up to 5 tomorrow going into my fertile days.

If we conceive here this month maybe a Spanish name is in order!?! Wink

We went away for our anniversary celebration this weekend and surprisingly AF didn't arrive like I had expected it to (always at the worst times!)

So I am now 39 days after withdrawal bleed and no AF.

Wonder what's going on.

Has anyone else here heard that you have a better chance of becoming pregnant if you oragasm during sex?

Apparently the orgasm itself evolved for the purpose as the muscle movements inside help to draw the swimmers up to where they need to be

Hi beaver - that all sounds very positive!

I heard it's true about the orgasm thing - and if not, it's a bloody good excuse to make him work hard! Wink
