The April 2015 bus is here ready to bring us a flurry of Springtime BFPs

[Cariad2014]

Here's hoping this month is THE one!

Thank you, will have a look.

Victoria that's rubbish. What a horrible boss your dh has Xx

And sammy,

It is stressful. I am trying not to keep being unromantic by talking about oaks and cm, lol, as it just turns DH off. So hard though when you know you need to be having sex RIGHT NOW and your other half is tired/busy or whatever. not quite the sense of urgency that we have! 'later' doesn't cut it

Opks, not oaks...

Night, yay cycle buddies

Victoria, that's shit! Is your dh sure he's not entitled to take these days off or at least a couple of hours? It doesn't seem right that he's not able to be there to support you.

cremedecacao up until the start of this month i was only taking 500mg of EPO, the lady in Holland and Barrett told me that the daily allowance is 200mg i take 100mg in morning and then another 1000mg at night, i am hoping it makes a difference!!!

Spinning sorry AF has got you, hoping you get your bfp and give you a Christmas baby

Mummyofonesofar my husband is the same he thinks dtd once in my fertile cycle is all we need and trying to tell him that we need to do it more, he does not listen, they think they know better,

I'm finding these threads so helpful and reassuring. Feel so much less alone in this journey. One thing I'm finding particularly reassuring is seeing that other hubbies and partners aren't always raring to go when it comes to DTD. We are conditioned to believe that men are horny 24/7. My hubby would be happy with sex once or twice a week maximum. He's making the effort around when we think I'm ovulating, but I'm very wary of insisting on it and turning it into a chore. We're only on cycle 2 and I'm not naive enough to think this is going to be an easy journey for us. Just glad that it seems normal that not all men are up for it all the time! Phew!

Purdey on the other thread doesn't think I've ovd yet based on my chart... So not in the 2ww just yet. Xx

daisy I've learned so much since joining the buses. It gives me confidence when talking to the doctor.
I'm going back to the docs next week to see what he wants to do next.
Hope everyone else is ok.

Totally agree daisy and purple although I'm currently feeling sorry for myself I'm full of cold, watching one born every minute and feeling a bit sad, want it to be me :( going to try to get a grip. Dh tells me not to watch it but he's not here so can't help myself...

Southy, I'm watching OBEM as well, laughing at the hubby in the birth pool

I forgot it was on. Hoorah for catch up.

I do love it, I have weeks where I can watch it no problem then others where I just cry! Don't think I could be filmed going through labour!

I've never watched it and don't really understand why people do! Or even more why these people expose themselves at their most vulnerable on it!

Glad u like it here daisy :-)

Before we started ttc 2 years ago we hardly ever dtd, I mean like 3 times a YEAR! Seriously. From that to 'making him' shag me several times a month was hard! He has zero sex drive. I'd gotten used to going without. I wish I would get preg so we didn't have to do this forced chore. Don't get me wrong, we love each other and show it in other ways. Ttc has made me dislike sex :-(

Just catching up with you guys.
Sorry for the AF arrivals but fx this bus is soon filled with bfps.
Ttc is a chore as there's so much pressure on us. It can really taks the passion out of it and I remember hating it when we were TTC #1. We are much more relaxed this time round thankfully, though some days it has to be a quickie!
Cd5 and thankfully AF will be gone tomorrow so will start from cd7. Plan for this cycle is reflexology, grapefruit juice and cough medicine to increase ewcm

Hope everyone is ok! This bus is going to bring a shed load of BFPs just In time for old Saint Nick! I know it!!!

sammy was just reading back on the march thread re your chart and what Purdey said. v interesting (can't keep up with that thread at all generally although there's lots of good & interesting advice on it!). Fingers crossed for you!

As for anyone filming me in labour, I just honestly can't think of anything worse. I didn't want anyone in the room let alone a film crew!

Looks like a number of us ovulating within a few days. I can't work out whether I ov'd yesterday, day before or haven't yet. Had a huge temp drop on Sunday, then a rise of .5 yesterday and then a drop of .1 this morning. OPKs are negative now after two days of positive. Hopefully will have a large rise over the next few days, then will know if ov has happened. I think. ARGH. Would like a night of having sex just for the hell of it rather than feeling we had to.

Hello!

Can I join? AF just got me....

#Stats: woodpigeon123, age 32, TTC #1, CD1, cycle 6, BFP due 16th April

Yeah coffee - I dunno what's going on - FF confirmed ov this morning as Monday, have posted on March for Purdeys opinion and told dh we have to dtd tonight in case! Xx

I have woken up very cross! Told DH that yesterday and today were the days we had to dtd (he prefers to know in advance) and we had been talking all Eve about how we were going to dtd that night. I say 'in going to bed now...' At about 11.45 and DH says he will be up soon. He came up to bed an hour later when I was half asleep and claimed he had forgotten. I tried to encourage him but he was being really flippant and totally uninterested. I got cross at that point and went to sleep. Just tried again before I go to work (he was awake!) and no luck. We both have late nights tonight and I'm so worried I'm going to miss my surge

creme Did you get your positive? If not, could it still be a day or two off anyway?

sammy - did FF confirm it as Monday because you had a temp rise?

welcome wood!

Oh Creme - that's so frustrating, still, I think if you dtd tonight you'll be ok. Fx for you ??

Coffee - yes, but a really minimal rise, chart attached:

Sorry about AF wood

Creme what is up with all these men not performing when they are meant to?! Don't they realise it is a military operation trying to get pregnant! I hope if you haven’t had your positive opk yet then you still have time tomorrow.

Sammy Why has it put ov as Sunday when you didn’t even see a temp rise? I think it is the open circles confusing FF, any way to try and take your temp at the same time every day?

Victoria I hadn't realised the DTD part of TTC had been a struggle too, I know you are going down the IUI route now but would you have considered AI to releave some of the pressure and try to have a sex life seperate from TTC?

Mummyofone - I was trying a more relaxed approach of not setting an alarm etc... But I think it's backfired as I now don't know where I am! Lol.
I think Sunday because the rise usually happens the day after ov... But the rise is no where near as high as it usually is.... Hmmm
