Good luck Nomio hope we both have good news at the end of the month.

The deed has been done.

Nice one Nomio! The football is on here but after it finishes, it will be done here too!

Well done nomio the only good thing about the tww is a break from shagging

Morning all. I have woken up full of cold today-three weeks after my last one.

Anyone due to test soon? We need a BFP on here!

nomio another 2+ weeks until I test. Hoping for ovulation by the weekend. Yawn. Hope your cold goes quickly.
Lots of nasty ones around at the moment :(

Ages until I get to test! 4 weeks roughly.

Get well soon Nomio! Xx

Hope you feel better soon Nomio.

Stupidly didn't dtd in the end last night and now I have really bad ovulation pains. Fingers crossed I haven't left it too late although I suspect I have.

Hi everyone I know I said I would pop back on and update you on our latest IVF. It hasn't gone very well really. We only managed to get 2 eggs fertilised and on our day 3 check one was around about where it should be but the other was a bit slow and behind so don't know if it will carry on growing or not :-( It's very hard as we seem to be getting nowhere fast with it. We have to ring tomorrow for our final report and to see if either of them can be frozen. I'm praying for one.

Hope everyone else is ok. Get well soon nomio and brilliant news on you dtd efforts.

Hello lucieloos not sure if you remember me as SunbathingCat from these threads last year? I am sorry to hear that your IVF isn't going well and will be thinking of you. Hope you get positive news tomorrow.

Oh my goodness! Yes sunbathing! Wow lovely to see you. I still think of you a lot and wonder how you and the little one are getting on. Unfortunately it never happened for me and we have now moved into IVF. We had one transfer back in April which was bfn and recently had another try where we were able to freeze 2 good embryos. I had another round last week where I was hoping to be able to freeze some more but it isn't looking good so far. We were hoping to bank up a few before starting transfer incase we need anymore in future. So good to see you again. I always remember you being a massive support to me

I have popped back on from time to time to see how various people have got on and I was so hopeful about your trips to Prague (but didn't want to sound like a stalker and come online to say so). I will keep everything crossed for you and hope you get your elusive BFP soon. X

Aww thanks so much fuzzy, I have had a peek to see how you are doing now and again too. Was it June you had your first?

She was due in June Lucie but came early at the end of May. All is well and I am hoping for a brother or sister for her but realistic that it took ages last time and my age, plus endometriosis is against me.

Ahh that's lovely fuzzy. I'm sure it will happen for you again. It didn't take that long really.

I suppose not but because of my mmc and everything, it was certainly much longer than we thought. Still, I know I am really lucky to have her. Let me know how to get on.

Hi all,

Just checking in to see how everyone is. Haven't had a huge catch-up, but good luck to Nomio, Sammy, Kir and Fuzzy, and anyone else who is awaiting ovulation / currently popping out eggs.

Sammy So glad your poochie is ok. They do worry us don't they? One of mine is currently costing me a fortune due to suspected pancreatitis (she's already on long-term kidney medication) and I arrived home to a bandaged leg on boy dog, and a strong smell of TCP, along with a note from DH telling me that the dogs had collided in the garden, and girl dog had managed to scrape a lot of skin off boy dog's back leg.

Hopes So sorry that you're back under sad circumstances.

lucie It must be so frustrating for you. Keeping everything crossed that you can freeze at least one of your embryos.

As for me... well, I'm on CD28 (around 12 or 13 dpo IF I ovulated on CD14 or 15). Of course, I have no idea when I ovulated, as I don't temp and I didn't use opks this time round. I have been getting cramps on and off since Friday, but so far no AF. Of course, I've been POAS since Friday morning, (coz that's how I roll with a bag of Internet cheapies) but have only got BFNs, so am expecting AF to arrive soon. I can pick up my next clomid prescription tomorrow afternoon (will have to get DH to pick it up as I'm working). If I start the clomid this week, I'm hoping ovulation will happen (if I'm lucky enough for it to happen again!) around half term week, so we can DTD during the day when we're not both totally knackered!

lucie got my fingers and toes crossed for you. sammy, too. You both deserve to be at the top of the bfp list.

eskimo, thanks lovely. Got some nice ewcm today, so I should ovulate in a few days time. Fx for you, even if it's just that af comes
on its own accord. And big fx for next cycle - it is ON!

Sad realisation that I've been ttc for 10 months, but only 7 cycles and of those probably only 4 that i ovulated. The pill is a fucker! Pleased that my cycles seem to have settled into a pretty regular pattern now though, and it's not too long in the big scheme of things. Ready for my bfp now though

Who is up next for poas?

Sammy that's exciting and I hope it all goes well for you this time.

Lucie fx for positive news tomorrow.

Had a scan today post mmc and all is clear, which was upsetting but a relief at the same time. We've been given the go ahead to ttc so will start dtd from tonight. I won't be doing opks or temping until AF arrives.

Kir The pill has put me one whole year behind schedule! I cam off it last Oct and have only just managed to ovulate (not even by myself!) If only we'd known...

If things had gone to plan, I'd have an actual live baby by now...

On the flip side of the coin, DH and I had our first long summer holiday away together ever this year, and we've had a few city breaks, gigs and lovely meals out that we probably wouldn't have had. (We've only been together for 3 years, and married for one.) It's a small comfort, but it's something.

I think that I had it drummed into me when I was younger that just kissing a bloke would result in a pregnancy, so the reality of how hard it actually can be to get pregnant and have a baby has come as a huge shock.

Evening all,

Nomio hope you're feeling better soon and you've got the strength to DTD tonight!

Lucie, I hope it's good news tomorrow, fingers crossed for you!

Eskimo, sorry for the BFN but hope AF stays away...although sounds like you've got plenty of lazy daytime sex planned for half term!

Fuzzy, don't worry about skipping DTD last night too much, some nights it just too much bloody effort..and it only takes one little sperm who might catch the egg at just the right time if you manage it tonight!

Kirjava it must be really frustrating, contraceptives can totally mess you up. When I had the implant removed I stupidly thought I'd get pregnant straight away...wish I'd know what I know now, I'd have had it removed years ago.

DizzyM that must of been hard for you lovely. I really hope you get your sticky bean soon

9 DPO here, BFN this morning. AF due tomorrow or Thursday. I can cope with the BFN's because there's still hope but I know I'm going to take it hard this month when AF arrives...gearing myself up for it!

Fuzzy it is really bloody hard! How the hell do people end up upduffed after one drunken quickie?!

Hi everyone, I'm back and still not up the duff! Cycle 12 now (I think! I've lost count) I've had a quick skim through and I'm happy (but not happy if you know what I mean) to see so many familiar faces. I'm due to ovulate around Thursday and it's my bday on Friday so let's hope I get the birthday pressie that I really really want. Big hugs to you all, I've missed our chats about cm and other such dignified topics

Nympho!! Welcome back on board, you've been missed!! I hope you get your birthday wish lovely, good luck!!
