Or should that read Mad TTCers and March Hopefuls??

Thought that I would start a March thread as from tomorrow I will no longer be eligible for the February thread. Of course I will be lurking and keeping fingers crossed for those still in with a shout... but it's time to move on.

Who's with me???

Look at my date - steaming ahead and not even ov yet!!

Good luck girlies. I'm a little frightened by my sudden nymphomaniacism (is that a word?) I think my husband is too. I'm desperate for baby, started noticing where to get the good deals on babygros, and where the crib is going to go!! But he's so calm, and is all like "if it happens, it happens", it feels like he's not fussed if it takes 5 years - christ i can't wait that long! Anyone else like that or do you have super supportive hubbys?

Ready · 12/02/2007 15:35

Ambi, to be honest, my DH is the most laid back man on the planet... so I know he isn't worried about when the baby comes. He tells me all the time that it will happen when it's meant to. I think having a partner like that is great! Can you imagine if they were as bad as we can be?? It would be hysteria!! I say enjoy the fact that your husband is calm and grounded. I'm sure he doesn't want to wait for 5 years really, but is doing his best to calm you down so that if it doesn't happen straight away you don't start to feel the pressure!!

Nymphomania huh?? Well enjoy yourself

I'll raise you another chilled out DH. He is the type that believes if it happens, it happens and we should not get overobsessed about it. He was rather shaken with the pregnancy in September though and even more shaken at the mc. So now that we are ttc again he is a bit more careful about being too laid back with me as he knows I want it so badly.

However, whenever I say that age is not on my side he quotes how many chavs pop them all over the place whilst on drink, fags, drugs and a McDonalnd diet; so we should have no problem. I remind him that said chavs are teenagers and don't hold down stressful full time jobs and were trying to get through a part time masters at the same time. Sorry, rant over...

He is a sweetie though....

from the February thread...

scorpio1 · 12/02/2007 19:35

hello and welcome to our hopeful thread!

gillian1973 · 12/02/2007 20:28

Hello peanutbutter, welcome.

Ladies, I have some musings over OPKs....

On Saturday - no second line but eventually got it very faint

Sunday - very faint but a couple of hours later it turned almost but not quite as dark as the control line

Monday - darker than Saturday but lighter than Sunday.

Was the Sunday reading valid if I looked at it a few hours after doing the test? Could I consider that a positive?
How is everyone else getting on with them?

I seem to be getting lines that are almost the same at the moment. Not much in the way of CM though, so am a bit confused.

jhyesmum · 12/02/2007 20:43

From the February thread.

I know that i am going to be joining you eventually, so instead of watching i thought i'd get involved. hope that's ok with you all!

Hello Ladies. Yep another one here with a chilled out dh and I agree that it's a good thing. Welcome peanut and hope this is a lucky month for you

plummymummy · 12/02/2007 22:43

Beansprout, grapefruit juice is supposed to increase CM

gillian1973 · 13/02/2007 09:34

what if you don't like grapefruit juice, does orange juice do?

scorpio1 · 13/02/2007 10:29

morning everyone

any luck last night londonlottie??!!men and their moods....

hope everybody ok.im on CD9 today, not sure when to start opk testing, as im not totally sure when i ovulate becuase i havent had a natural period for a year (had a coil).what does everyone think?before coil put in i was 28/29 days.

have a good day!

Ready · 13/02/2007 11:55

Gillian1973, PMSL @ the chav mcdonalds diet You shouldn't look at the OPK later as they can get darker with time and have nothing to do with OV. Have you tried pink grapefruit? It's not as sour (IMO) and just as effective as golden grapefruit, not sure if orange juice would have the same effect??

Jhyesmum, welcome and good luck

Beansprout, when to stop?? How about you just carry on through the entire cycle

Scorpio, if you are not sure about when you OV perhaps start your OPKs today (I am sure Lottie said CD9) until cd19/20 or a +ve result of course. Fingers crossed.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Fingers and toes crossed for everyone!!

I guess you're right Ready, 2 obsessive people may be too much and at least the pressure we put upon ourselves IS put on by ourselves and no-one else. I know Gillian bout the chavs, where I used to live was chav pg central(or felt like it!) designer bumps with trackies!! Awful! Those silly mares didn't have to count, calculate, take temps and pee on stix - just drink as much diamond white as possible, so frustrating!

gillian1973 · 13/02/2007 12:49

is that the answer? ditch the sticks and the grapefruit juice and stock up on the White Diamond?

Have we been doing it wrong all along?

Ambi · 13/02/2007 12:50

if only... lol..
