March bus. Free gin with every ticket.

....Welcome ladies. let's get those bfp's.

I chickened out of POAS this morning, going to wait like I originally said I would, convinced it will be a bfn

ozmund sorry I don't use MN on a desk top, nor do I understand charts. If you try also posting a twirl on here you might get purdypies attention, she is the queen of charting....

ozmund can you screenshot it and upload the image?

spinning I'm sorry things are a bit tension-y with your dh. ..as purdey says it's really hard. Ttc really sucks the joy out of it all and I feel like I'm some kind of seductive ninja trying to get dh into bed over my fertile window. If he even suspects I'm doing it just to get his sperm always he can't preform. It's Incredibly frustrating and stressful.

I thought watery cm wasn't the optimum but more the stretchy clear, egg white texture? I thought the process was generally watery pre ov. Egg white ov. Creamy post ov. ? My understanding of it all could be entirely wrong since despite rooting around in there I can't work out what my cervix is supposed to feel like.

southy if you can wait til near the end of the week we can poas together? If AF doesn't get me first. On the other hand I agreed to do this with someone last month and AF arrived four days early! Maybe I'm cursed!

Does anyone know if takestwo got her bfp? I think that was who I was meant to poas with...

night if you want the beginners guide to cm go here:

I warn you though, once you've seen these pics you can never un-see. The girl in her robe still grins at me.

Can I hop on board? We're on cycle 1 (cd3) of ttc #2. It took seven cycles last time, which isn't long in the scheme of things but for various reasons we expected to struggle to conceive so I found it really stressful. I'm feeling much more chilled this time, I don't expect that to last long though!

Argh maybe it was sperm chasing! Hangs head in shame :(

Waves back at Spinning, MrsGingerbread and Dizzy.

On the dog front, we're hoping to get a cockapoo (cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a miniature Poodle).

MrsGingerbread - I LOVE the idea of sponsoring a child. You've inspired me to look into that myself. Yay for being (almost) cycle twins!

Spinning - sorry you're having a frustrating time with DP. It's so difficult. Hope you manage to dtd soon.

Sorry to all those who've woken up to temp dips this morning - a rubbish way to start the week. Here's hoping we get a flurry of BFPs soon.

Keep watching night, I'm sure it's on its way. Are you using opk's?

Welcome totallyanonymous! Fx for you & that you have an easy journey this time around.

Thanks for the link Hair, almost vomited at one point! However my 'CM' doesn't match any of those. Could sperm still be there from Saturday afternoon?!

I'm not using opks Dizzy because I wanted to be all relaxed but that has already gone out the window. Also didn't want to freak DH but as I asked him whether he wanted to view and comment on the CM this morning we might have passed that stage. Is it too late to start them this cycle?

Thanks ladies, it's so supportive here, I love having you all to share this journey with.

Dizzy, you're right he is tired. He's working really hard long hours at the moment. I just wish he'd said he wasn't in the mood or asked me to 'try harder' to get him in the mood.

Purdey, I was telling dp last week about how some of you AI, he said, I don't want to do it like that I like having sex with you. But I was worrying about your words as I've heard you say before that ttc ruined your sex life. I can totally believe this because after this long it's such a pressure on both of us.
Anyway we've had a little chat this morning and he said sorry for what he said. He is feeling under pressure but he knows sex at the right time is the only way we'll get out baby. We'll try again later and we did have sex the night before the positive so I guess all is not lost.

Super sperm night!

cariad that's what I had! She's amazing (probably will blow my cover here because everyone that knows me knows about my puppy ). She's now two years old. Such a loving affectionate lady and intelligent, but as mad as a box of frogs. She's amazing with children too, seems naturally drawn to them and is very tolerant. Will see if I can find a pic.

Ooh let's hope so Juney DH is deliciously young (cradle snatched)

Thank you Boris and Dizzy here goes...

Here you go cariad (has pic uploaded sideways?). Dizzynortherndog with a stick.

ah dizzy your dog is adorable, I am very jealous

ozmund your chart looks fine to me, I might be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that flat temps can indicate a problem with the thermometer? Sorry AF has arrived though

Aww dizzy I'm not a dog person but awww how cute!!

Morning all! Wow, you ladies can chat! (Off to catch up...)

Maybe just creamy then night which is the non fertile type?

ozmund you have to use at the beginning and at the end.

dizzy .. cute!! Have been googling coated skinnies like mad - some on ASOS but they look cheap and plasticky and these really did look delish, like leather.

ozmund sorry about AF but we'll get the next cycle right?

spinning - so nice that he said sorry

night that made me laugh!!! Also ... that CM link ... VOM!!

spinning you could be describing me and DH too. I have no advice for you but buckets of empathy if that means anything from a stranger. You are not alone in having these challenges.
