Today I'm 4 days past ovulation- I think. So that makes me due AF 8th May.

I'm 27, and first month ttc #1.

Just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat?

I had a google of it too, it says if you're over 35 and smoke you can't use it. I don't smoke but will be over 35. Is it you can't be either or just can't be both?
We haven't managed to dtd tonight, neither of us were really in the mood and dp reckons that this morning will suffice! I wish I could have my positive opk on a weekend one month! It would be so much easier without long work days getting in the way. Although, I suppose we had a weekend last month and still didn't manage it as well as it could have been...
I almost feel cheated that I won't be drinking now for 2 weeks and stressing myself out about it all and he just isn't interested tonight. I'm sick of all this baby making sex, it is crap! As soon as my fertile window is gone and there is no pressure it's good again.. Angry
If nothing happens this month I'm going to make sure I book my fertile window off in the summer holidays and go away for a few days.
I hope we get caught this month so we don't have to do this well timed sex again for a long time...

By the way I am having mega pains I think in my left ovary but also moving more in the middle quite low down. Cramping and aching. Fairly new type of pain, if it was later in the month I'd think AF was on her way but it is definitely a different type of pain.
Let's hope this is ovulation and there is still a strong swimmer or 2 up there...

NeverShutsUp · 22/05/2015 09:10

Haha I'm ok when off. However when I am pregnant I turn into the actual devil my poor DH! I can't help it. I also once cried because they put the wrong sauce on my wrap at McDonalds...

And thats all good signs, shame about missing it last night but he is most likely right if you did it in the morning and then tonight you should cover the best chances! I think we are both lucky that we like to dtd a lot regardless of weeks so so far I haven't really noticed much of a difference!

If your DP is like my DH I think they just think either it will happen or it won't no point stressing over one shot! Which as much as I wish I could think that way I really can't. Someone commented to me today I look like I am ready for having another baby and all I could thing was I wish!

Vap0 · 22/05/2015 09:28

Poas this mien in to check the surge was over.
It was and pretty sure I ovulated yesterday afternoon / evening due to the cramps and pains. All gone today!
1st weekend without a drink this weekend since Jan.
Even if I don't get a bfp it's good as need to drop more weight well that's what I'm telling myself
Happy weekend to everyone!

Morning all
How is everyone getting on?
charms not heard fom you in a while, how are you doing?
fay do you think you are in with a chance this month?
lod how many days until AF is due and you can start thinking of a march baby?
never have you managed to hold off using one of your tests? Any symptoms?

Well, last night was my 1st Friday night in a while without a drink, the prosecco was singing out my name. Tonight we are out for dinner with friends, luckily I am the designated driver so shouldn't have too many questions asked. Although they will be coming back here after so it will be noticed then. I don't like people seeing me refuse a drink as I know it will make them think I am pregnant. Last night we were at my brothers and they popped a bottle and I declined a glass, dp was then going on about me driving this weekend (out of excitement for having a chauffeur) and not drinking he was told off in the car for drawing attention to it. When we arrived home I felt I had to text them to tell them I wasn't pregnant, i don't want them thinking I am when I'm not. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it does. I don't usually care what people think, with this it's different, I'm not sure why.

Moving on... On a positive note dp was great with the new baby (16 days old). I think it has removed any fears he had about having one of our own.

One strange thing - my coccyx has been so painful for a couple of days (since ovlation), feels bruised even though there is no reaosn to be. it can't be a symptom as it started at ovulation but thought I'd keep a record if it.

NeverShutsUp · 23/05/2015 12:57

Hey!
I would just make a comment tonight in passing that you aren't pregnant without a big song and dance so people realise that it's not pregnancy reasons you aren't drinking!
Maybe even before you get to yours comment on how people thought last night you might be pregnant because your having a weekend off the booze for a change and how you had to explain to them you wasn't you was just being well behaved! Or somehow drop it in before it gets asked! Can you make up a really bad hangover from last weekend or something that has meant you just can't face it?

I know what you mean about not wanting people to know thats why when people ask I tell them we are trying later this year rather than now!

I'm having symptoms but still not sure if its all due to a possible pregnancy (fingers crossed) or just in my head. I am exhausted! Slept for nearly 12 hours last night and fancy a nap now, but then I have been doing a lot of work recently. My boobs are so sore, to the point we were shopping this morning and all I could think about was my boobs. Also having almost ewcm? so I really don't know!

Roll on Thursday when I'll be poas!

Vap0 · 23/05/2015 13:33

Ooh never this all sounds very promising! I can't wait until Thursday to hear!

Vap0 · 23/05/2015 13:49

Not told our friends we are trying. So, I think I'll go with the hang over from hell from last weekend. Which is actually true.

NeverShutsUp · 23/05/2015 14:15

It does. But in a way I wish I wasn't having anything because I am getting my hopes up now and I think I'll be really disappointed if I get a bfn or AF arrives Sad

Hangover works perfect then and you can bring it up before they do! the only reason I have said end of this year is people know I want another and I'm hoping before they start thinking have you started trying yet I am pregnant!

NeverShutsUp · 23/05/2015 14:16

When are you going to poas vap

Vap0 · 23/05/2015 16:19

Only 2dpo
Really wish I knew either way as I'm gasping for a drink.
Tonight is now a BBQ at ours because of the sun.
Totally wiped out, could do with just going back to bed, this is the only thing keeping me going that it may end up being a bfp this month as looking back over the last few months no exhaustion at this time of the cycle.
It will all be worth it if I get my bfp!

LastOneDancing · 23/05/2015 18:36

Never my boobs were so sore from virtually the second I got pregnant - right up into my armpits! Sounds really promising Smile
And great news that you're whacked Vap

God it's just going to be me left rolling round the thread on my own crying Wink

AF due Sat 6th June - slap bang in the middle of our holiday. Grim!

NeverShutsUp · 23/05/2015 18:44

lod that gives me hope it's only ever been the nipple that hurt (I think) however this is actually up to my arm pit so that's what made me really think it was in my head. But who knows. Not long till we find out! I still don't think it will happen this month and I'm here till we all get our BFP even if im the last one standing haha! Not long till your holiday though, just keep busy as soon as it's over and it could be a holiday baby!

Vap0 · 24/05/2015 10:19

I'll be here until we all get out BFP's too!
Managed no drinking last night! Bought a few nice soft drinks to keep me going which helped Smile.
Last night turned into a bit of a Eurovision party! Did anyone else watch it? Such a good laugh! Grin

20 hours sleep last night and still totally wiped out again today! Good job it's the weekend. Not holding my breath that this has anything to do with getting a bfp because since coming off the depo I've been battling with fatigue for an awful lot of the time, I think it's all just hormones but secretly have my fingers crossed behind my back

Vap0 · 24/05/2015 10:20

10hrs sleep! 20.... I wish!

LastOneDancing · 24/05/2015 10:55

Ha! I read 20h and was trying to work out how that happened... Grin

Told DH last night how sad I've been feeling about not being pregnant, how I didnt think for a minute that I woukdnt be pregnant for our holiday and he's promised we are on it next month which has cheered me up too.

I really really don't want LLOD to be an only child as he has no close family aside from me & DH and fairly elderly GPS. It's sad.

Remind me, whos POAS next and when? Smile

Vap0 · 24/05/2015 11:24

lod that's great news!
Flowers

I think never is the 1st to poas on Thursday.

Not heard from fay for a while but think she is pretty similar to my timeframe.

I'll probably 1st poas on sat morning which will be 9dpo.

Decided I will certainly drive next Friday at the wedding and hey ho, I've managed to not drink this weekend.....

If I get a bfp on sat it will make it much easier to not drink at the 3yr olds party booze fuelled BBQ for the adults! Still quite early though. I just hope I will accept the negative which it will almost certainly be (either because it's just too early or because it is in fact negative) and not drink in consolidation!

Vap0 · 24/05/2015 11:27

*consolation
Argh! Brain isn't working!

NeverShutsUp · 24/05/2015 13:00

Even 10 is making me jealous today. went to bed at 11 and up at 5 thanks to DD Sad but then I don't feel too bad now which is making me think all symptoms are just in my head Hmm

Yes think I'm first up for POAS on Thursday. I'm 10dpo now min but I think it's more like 11! But trying my best to hold off. As time goes on im feeling less and less hopeful so roll on the March baby Wink

How long have you been trying lod I am sure it will happen soon, don't give up hope!

No Eurovision here vap did you manage to avoid any awkward comments/questions about you not drinking?

fay, charms are you both still here? How are you doing?

Vap0 · 24/05/2015 13:20

Ha! You won't believe it! I'm known to be partial to a little Prosecco and yesterday a friend turned up with a case of that nice sainsburys one with the black label!
Awkward!

NeverShutsUp · 24/05/2015 14:23

Haha what on earth did you say? Blush

LastOneDancing · 24/05/2015 14:36

Argh! Awkward AND hard not to give in Wink I lowe prosecco.

This is cycle 6 Never which I know isnt ling to try at all (thinking of poor Vap and her depo hell) but as first pregnancy happened on the first real try it has been a bit of a surprise - I was very complacent. But there have been other issues getting in the way so I think now we've talked about a few things I'm really hopeful next month will be a fresh start.

Hurry up Thursday! I'm excited for you!!

Vap0 · 24/05/2015 17:02

Haha! It was hilarious! And very disappointing! I played the hangover card and having work to do today as an excuse.

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday!

I can't wait for Thursday!

LOD raise a glass for us tonight Grin

NeverShutsUp · 24/05/2015 17:11

I know what you mean lod in the expecting it to just happen! I'm only on cycle 2 so I know so early but before it just did! Yes enjoy the prosecco for us, no bank holiday here so business as usual tomorrow and after my 5am wake up im already struggling to stay awake!

Thanks lod and vap for the excitement for Thursday however I just feel like AF is going to arrive then! My couple of days ago optimism has faded! Im just about to go on Amazon and order some OPKs and hope they are here for next month!

LastOneDancing · 24/05/2015 18:47

I'm dreading that bit never - the days are long enough with a toddler, let alone toddler + bump. But lovely to have them hopefully as company for one another - do you have a DS or DD?
