Here's mine

me 41
dh 58
ds 3
EDD Dec 15th

Got pg 2nd month of trying both times

I used:
EPO every day
baby aspirin every day
cough syrup during week of ovulation
grapefruit juice - week of OV
omega 3 supplements
pre-natal vitamins
B12

checked CM and used dating method for est. OV - did this for about 6 months before ttc to get it really down

make sure your dh is wearing boxers not briefs!

BD every day the week of OV - other times during the month were just for fun

Gulp - just had BFP. Can I join in? - my head's spinning a bit!

MagicGenie - 33
DH - 32
DS - 1.9
EDD - 1/7/07 (but not confirmed yet, obviously!)
Second month of trying
Lots of BD around OV and raised bum!

Gulp. Desperate to share with DH but will wait til he gets home from work.

Me25.
DH25.
2 DS 4yrs and 7yrs.
TTC for 18 months!
OV on CD14 of a 28DAY cycle, Got my BFP 10dpo, due date 09/08/07!

The new things I tried (for that cycle only) and then got a BFP: I used a Silvia microscope ovulation tester, I tuck: Iron, vit C, omega 3, and zinc (zinc only upto OV)
We BDed the day before OVulation (with O) and THE day of OVulation (with O), hormones were really good that month, nice and level, which I'm sure helped.
The Silvia OV tester was really good, it shown me to be fertile at 10am, then I got lots of EWCM at 10:30am , so I told DH i was very fertile and he came home from work early .
That my info to pass on, hope this help's others!

Me 35
Dp 37
Ds 3 yrs old

My due date is 11/08/07, have being trying for a couple of months, than decided to use pre seed and got a bfp. Could'nt believe it heard so much about it, thought i would give that a go and bingo. So i recomend it.

ChristmasMadwithBump · 07/12/2006 21:08

One thing to mention is every cycle just before AF I would have what I thought were PG symptoms like, feeling sick, boobs hurting, feeling oddly tired and so on but always ended up BFN, this cycle, no symptoms at all felt normal, just feeling a little hungry and drinking lots of water then weeing lots which I put down to drinking lots.......... that made me sound a bit thick but very true. It's only now that I'm five weeks (would be classed as 9days AF late now) PG that I've started getting throbbing boobs, feeling a little sicky, very sleepy/tired! So please don't pin all your hopes on "feeling PG" and/or having "PG symptoms" because theres always hope dont forget that and i hope all you ladies get your BFP very soon!
Hope this helps!

Thanks Babymad...your post has just really boosted me. Thank you so much.

I am CD36 today. On CBFM I had my first flashy "M" meaning AF due anyday although am only 13dpo.

I am going to test tomorrow morning and hoping for a BFP!

I did test on Tuesday (10dpo) and was a BFN so am not getting too excited as am pretty sure that a Clearblue digital preg test would show pregancy up by that stage. What do you think?

I have not got any symptons, not even an increase in boob size! So was looking at it that its not my lucky month. But you never know.

I keep going to toilet to check that AF hasn't arrived, like obssively!!! Really hoping that Santa is going to give me the best present in the world.

Thanks for your inspiring post. Made me think that a may have a little bit of hope.

Hi guys,

Hope this helps.We planned to start ttc mid/late 07. In dec I bought fertility book (toni weschlers,sp?) as I have very long cycles (32-38days) and suspected I might have problems conceiving. In Jan I found out I had fallen pregnant...the only time we had sex near ovulation was 2 days after my temp had risen (dh was away)...we thought it was safe as the book said that the egg only lasts 1-2 days. My advise is to keep having sex till after temp rises. Oh and woman on top position was used.

I don't get proper ewcm either, and this is something I always worried about.

xx.
