Reinstating the gin deck from a previous bus for AF arrivals, and stocking up on pineapple juice and Brazil nuts, fx for lots of BFPs this month.

I think most people are the same!

It is really nice that DS will get to spend lots of time with your nan.

DizzyMerry · 21/07/2015 23:10

We're the same rarely dtd after ov. It's just gets tedious and I'm always glad the fertile window is over!

Your summer hols sound amazing mummy packed full of stuff to do.

Mummyofonesofar · 22/07/2015 06:59

Going to do lots of day trips when my Nan is up and she will take DS out when I'm at work. She is amazing. We lived with her for 18 months when DS was 3-4.5 for our safety and due to my long hours she did everything for him so they are really close. They both look forward to their summer together.

Aw mummy that all sounds lovely.

We have extra bonus sex after ov, the stuff we don't do when having ttc sex when we are way more boring than is good for us Blush I find that helps to bring the fun back a little.

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/07/2015 08:16

Thanks mega/night/tessie/Eskimo/banana! just need to get my bfp now!

Welcome banana!

Just trying to catch up with yesterday, you lot have been a chatty bunch!

DizzyNorthernBird · 22/07/2015 08:54

We don't dtd after ov either. We have sex just for fun a few times before fertile window, then when it's ov time sex seems to lose all sexiness for DP, so we do what he calls 'baby making sex' (no frills quickie with the sole intention of getting the sperm in situ), then after ov we're so bored of sex neither of us bothers until after AF lol. We had amazing sex on holiday, DP loved me wandering around in a bikini all day ha ha. Maybe that's why he proposed lol.

This month we only managed it twice around ov so I'm not hopeful at all. Didn't manage day of ov itself and I reckon out of the 6 previous months we've only dtd on the day of ov once which is probably why we're not having much luck!

6 dpo now and it's my blood test tomorrow, GP said I'd have the results in a few days so this time next week I'll know where I'm at and what's happening with my body!

RalucaMorena · 22/07/2015 09:05

Temp drop @ 11/12dpo. Not under the ov temp but still, I think af is about to show up today/tomorrow.

Mummyofonesofar · 22/07/2015 09:08

Sorry for temp drop ral

I know what you mean about trying fun sex. I should prob treat DP to a bj at some point soon so he remembers what fun is!

Thanks girls! I think a visit with the gp is in order...

Nomio230 · 22/07/2015 09:41

Sorry to hear that, Ral.

DizzyN, most people get pregnant from sex the day before OV, so you might still be lucky.

I love holiday sex. There is something about being in the sunshine & drinking fruity cocktails that seems to turn me into a nympho!

Mummyofonesofar · 22/07/2015 09:47

Same Nomio. It's the heat that does it for me. Plus I think walking round in a bikini makes you feel sexier too.

Hairstylisttoboris · 22/07/2015 10:19

When I was 20 wandering round in a bikini made me feel sexy. Not any more!

ral sorry for temp drop. X

eskimoflo · 22/07/2015 10:56

Hi everyone! Just had a big shopping spree on Next, Dorothy Perkins and Very to buy holiday clothes and am getting quite excited now! Bought a few things that aren't my usual style and I wouldn't normally wear, but thought I'd be adventurous. I got this... and I'm really not sure. Hmm Going to have to see what DH thinks when he gets home!

In other news, I took my last progesterone pill last night, so awaiting my withdrawal bleed now. Should arrive at the weekend. Then it's clomid o'clock! Grin Heard on the radio this morning that our area has one of the worst success rates for recognising and treating ovarian cancer, which is a little concerning, as there is an increased risk of this with clomid, but I figured that because of the clomid, they may be more aware...

eskimo I can be a bit boring in my wardrobe choices - that is nice - very 60s Grin

Yay for last prog pill - I had a little thought for you last night while I was scrubbing my bathroom x

eskimoflo · 22/07/2015 11:29

Thanks Mummy! Hope the bathroom clean went well. Smile

Raluca Sorry for the temp drop. You're not out yet though...

DizzyMerry · 22/07/2015 11:38

Sorry for the temp drop raluca.

I like it eskimo. It's great to be adventurous, go you!!! I know it's concerning but hopefully things will start to improve and maybe the radio coverage is the push they need and to raise more awareness.

Mummyofonesofar · 22/07/2015 11:44

eskimo it went very well thanks - all sparkly now!

DizzyMerry · 22/07/2015 11:48

I'm missing sparkly now Sad

eskimoflo · 22/07/2015 11:49

Thanks DizzyM! It's made out of a really stretchy material, a bit like a swimming costume, so it's really comfy, but I don't think I could wear it in this country as my nipples would show if it got cold! (Couldn't wear a bra with it!)

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 22/07/2015 11:54

Eskimo I really like it

Ral sorry about the temp drop. It's not over until it's over

Zero symptoms here so not holding out any hope for this month.

Joining slimming world tonight hopefully that will give me something else to focus on

eskimoflo · 22/07/2015 11:55

Awww sparkly Sad

Mummyofonesofar · 22/07/2015 11:57

eskimo you could wear a strapless bra couldn't you?

I miss sparkly too!

Got myself ripped a bit on a thread I started - DS said sex this morning with no context - he had no idea what it meant - I told him it was something adults to do make babies. It seems everyone tells their kids these things before aged nearly 7 Blush

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 22/07/2015 11:57

I remember sparkly what happened did she get her BFP

Mummyofonesofar · 22/07/2015 11:59

She did get her BFP and it stuck so pleased for her Grin
