My DH sounds a bit like yours physics. We've been together 10 years, married 1 year (dragged his heels proposing too ). He would like us to own our own home before starting a family but I'm not willing to wait. Has led to some interesting conversations shall we say.

Tee I woke up feeling like AF is coming too. Can't put my finger on why, just that dread in my tummy.

I might test tomorrow but I'm sure it will be bfn so I don't know if I'd rather just wait for AF.

Can't believe I'll be moving onto cycle 6! I never thought it would take this long.

Morning ladies, pretty grim out there today so hope we can get some good news.

The new laid back tactic-
I wasn't interested in the dtd last night. Went to bed with a magazine alone. Acted cool like I didn't even want it. So the DH follows me up, does a bit of romancing.. Afterwards I jump up to go to the toilet and he says.."I thought u wanted that sperm"?! What the..?!

Think they like to be in control!

Lol footprints, the playing hard to get trick surely works. Good on you... Did u eventually give him???

Have a little faith jem, you aren't out until the witch shows so fx hun. You are so right about interesting conversations. I think we ladies deserve gold medals for being so strong and patient

Ohh parney 8 weeks already, our baby is growing. Can't wait for the 1st scan pic of our thread.

CD47

No AF, temp
Cramps in the night too (painful ones too) so think possibly AF might show. ? Although felt these on and off for weeks!

Radders/Jem/tee- hope no AF for you. You are so close! Hope the IC's arrive for you radders.

Mimi- my DH is 44 this yr and sure they get sour about stuff after 40!

I'd really like another child as will be nice to have something with him. Had a pretty awful experience with first H as he was never there to do the raising children together bit so I think it would be kinda special. Hope we haven't left it too late.

*temp 36.35 that should have said. Has come down a lot.

Mimi- I did give in. Too weak

Taking what I can get now for when he plays the silly game of - I know u want it so u can't have it game. Might sustain a bit so it's not every day as he gets tired.. Ah bless..

Thought it was men who suppose to have a higher sex drive?

Kkkkk I think they do when we aren't ttc. Have exciting news, just lost 3kgs to date and can't wait to lose some more then dress up all sexy and torment poor H haha

3kg that's great mimi!
Always makes you feel better when you lose weight. Keep it up as long as you don't lose weight too fast it will really benefit the reproductive system. It's also great for libido and energy whilst trying.

Been making a smoothie for breakfast in my nutri bullet every day. I kiwi, half of an orange, cup of frozen raspberries, cup of frozen blueberries, 2tablespoons of Greek yoghurt. So yummy and fresh!

Hello chaps am back for my lunch break. Been feeling weird today since getting into work. Light headed, still feel like I've got fast pulse, a bit nauseous but hungry. I might test tomorrow

I don't have sensitive nipples though. This seems to be quite a sure bfp thing?

Hey guys, man these cramps I'm having are stepping up a gear?
Plus feeling I need to pee a lot.

At 5 DPO jodders could that be implantation cramping?

I feel so strange today girls. I'm so light headed and woozy! If I'm not up the duff then I'm coming down with something. I feel like I'm moving through water or something!

Ooo Jem this is all sounding very positive! Got everything crossed for you! I feel the same about the boob/nipple thing, having said that, I was noticing those symptoms last cycle and AF arrived, so you just can't hang your hat on anything. Was reading Parney's posts on our old thread the week before her BFP, and she was so adamant AF was about to turn up. Lots of cramps but also lots of CM (which I've had hardly any of since OD). I can't see it happening for me, so I will definitely hold out testing. Only got x2 Clearblue in, so don't want to waste them x

Like you are drunk Jem?

I just feel hot and dizzy and weird, like I'm coming down with something

Jem/tee- I never got sore boobs or sensitive nipples with my 2 boys. Just felt exhausted and AF cramps. So you never know.

I also never really had sore nipples. Just cramps when AF was due. I don't think I had cramps this early on last two pregnancies but I had symptoms like this last month and wasn't PG.

Hi ladies,

Are you accepting any newcomers on your thread? I am currently trying to conceive but have agreed with my husband to not tell anyone and just wanted to have some support. For what I've read you are one of the friendliest threads here and it would be lovely if I could join you.

Thanks!

Hello purpleowl you are most welcome

Have you just started trying?

Don't trust the boobs!!!

I had like 7 days of sensitive nipples after ov - thought that was it, boom first cycle. But no. Now I'm CD 5...

Bought some brazil nuts and yogurt covered ones from H & B. Also expecting some more EPO and Maca in the post! I'm just doing 1500 mg of EPO a day, see how that goes. I swear I rattle when I walk!!! Any suggestions on Maca??

Hi Purpleowl!

Haha, great feedback about the boobs! I always knew they couldn't be trusted
Jem have you got a test 'in stock' at home?! Come on BFP!!
Welcome the the gang Owl, do you know where you are in your cycle?
Physics I have no idea about Maca, must look it up!

Hi!

We started trying for our first child in August last year, at first I wasn't tracking anything. In January I saw an ad for a study on conceiving/blood pressure and decided to participate. They gave me an Advanced Clearblue Fertility Monitor, and all the sticks, so I've been timing dtd with ovulation since then, but no luck yet.

I have an under active thyroid, but it's been under control with thyroxine for years, so it shouldn't be a bad thing.

I am 30 and overweight (BMI 28.3), the GP says I need to lose 18kg, so I'm guessing that's what's getting on my way. My cycles are very regular (25-26 days).

I'm on CD 18.

That's great you for all the kit purple. Good luck with your weight loss, are you trying any particular strategies or diets?

I've got ics and frers at home girls. Am going to a friends for dinner tonight though. Could really do without it! I'm knackered! Want to go home and POAS!

Welcome owl!!
Under Active thyroid can cause weight gain can't it??

Jem I so want you to POAS!!! Please!

Well my tests didn't turn up ... Waaaaaah. OH offered to stop off and pick one up but I've said its ok and we will wait till tomorrow when hopefully they will be here.
I did an opk though and there was no line on it so don't think I'm pregnant

I've been so tired today and emotional. Cried yesterday and then today at work!
The thought of having to wait yet another month is horrible but know that it's probably on the cards. Just want AF to arrive now if it's going to.

If you have boob pain is it really severe or like a bit of an ache??
I keep prodding mine hoping they will hurt when I do it!
I felt like they were a bit achey when walking today but was probably imagining it

Mine are quite sore to touch at all radders - but that's completely normal just before AF for me.

I've felt a bit teary too.

Really can't imagine I could get a bfp at all. I feel like I'm just waiting for bfn swiftly followed by AF.

There's a cruel voice in my head saying maybe just maybe - and I don't want to listen to it!
