AF arrived today so I am now hoping for a March bfp.
This is cycle 6, ttc #2. Aged 32.

Never started a thread before, so hopefully you will join & we can symptom spot together!

@bubblybrit. I'm simultaneously happy and sad that you are on the bus! How long was your cycle this time? I'm hoping mine is going to be shorter than 42 days! Only cd11 today so a fair way to go yet.

@Owlpatrol. I hate the awkwardness of being dry, they'd never say anything but you know they're thinking it. I always tell DH that is me and not him! I get really self conscious about it.

@Countrygirl94. We are going to dtd eod this cycle too.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 06/02/2018 20:11

@Roobles79. I tried conceive plus but found it dried REALLY quickly.

Woody096 · 06/02/2018 20:39

Oooh just read the grapefruit juice thread. Will pick up a carton tomorrow. Can’t say I am a massive fan 🤢.
We tried preseed, sucks the fun out dtd & is very gloopy!

@LookingAtTheStars89. It was a 32 day cycle for me. I’m not too disheartened to be on the March bus. Only managed to dtd a handful of times last cycle due to DH illness and I was pretty sure they were outwith my fertile week.

Now need to get DH geared up for when af stops later this week. He still isn’t feeling 100% but I’m not missing another cycle so he needs to suck it up lol Smile xx

Woody096 · 06/02/2018 21:15

@bubblybrit I made DH dtd when he had flu. It was definitely one for the team!

@Woody096 that's brilliant!! Grin

kiltedsheep · 06/02/2018 22:12

@Woody096 ...and that's real dedication!

Fingers crossed for all of us this month!

Woody096 · 06/02/2018 22:23

Dedication which was rewarded with AF 😡

LookingAtTheStars89 · 06/02/2018 22:27

@bubblybrit. Too right! I said to DH the other day that we are not slacking off this month. We are supposed to be dtd tonight but I can see him nodding off on the sofa!

@Woody096. I need you to come and poke my DH with a stick lol, he's pretty good at still dtd when he's ill but when he decides he's snoozy is a different matter!

MissDollyMix · 07/02/2018 06:23

Hi guys. Just hopping off the Feb bus and onto the March one as AF kindly arrived this morning. Just as I was wasting a FRER. Anyway. Will have a bit of time to collect myself and then be back! Hopefully this will be our month!

bubblybrit · 07/02/2018 08:44

@Woody096. Haha. That’s exactly what I told him! Out came the box of Kleenex this morning.....told him that’s ok as you have a few days to get better before af stops. He has decided to ‘work from home’ today to make sure he recovers by the weekend! Xx

@LookingAtTheStars89. The snoozy thing is really annoying isn’t it?!? If I hear ‘but I’m really tired’ one more time....SO AM I usually gets shouted back....not ideal when trying to get in the mood lol Smile xx

Happysbno4 · 07/02/2018 11:21

Hi all..

Any older mum's here? I'm 38- 39 Aug
Ttc#4 dh#1 older kids are all in teens😱
Cycle#3
Af due 21/2

I know it's early days but I'm super worried.
He's super keen but unhappy that I told him our Caribbean holiday is now out of the question due to zika virus...

How long did you all wait until I go down ovulation strip route?

Pumpkinbee · 07/02/2018 13:26

I was on the Feb bus as my Feb AF has now just finished I'll jump on here. Need to have a good chat with DH about whether we are going to try this month or if were sticking to original plan of not really trying and seeing where the chips fall. So think of me had half on half off the bus. But I'm wishing you all so much luck, baby dust to all.

Owlpatrol · 07/02/2018 18:22

@Happysbno4 think I started using opks 4th month in....10 months later still no catch Sad

DreamyCat · 07/02/2018 18:30

Hi all. Hopping on the March bus after finally accepting I'm out for Feb!

I turned 35 at the end of October, TTC #1 and have been "sort of" trying for 3 months, "properly" trying for 1 (more regularly DTD & using opk).

sammielouise · 07/02/2018 20:09

Hi all, hope it's ok to join!
TTC #1, First cycle!
Had implant out last Friday and started AF yesterday. Really hoping that means all is back to normal! Already becoming a little obsessed as wanted to try for so long, but trying my hardest not to stress... it's not really working!! Fx for everyone this month!! Smile

AaronPurrSir · 07/02/2018 20:13

Hi all

32
Ttc #1
Cycle 2
AF due 24/02

Leading up to peak ovulation at the weekend, lots of DTD for me this week!

Woody096 · 07/02/2018 22:09

Welcome ladies!
Af is finally starting to taper off! Had some accunpuncture this evening, next treatment is schedule for 2 days before my predicted ovulation date. Still not started drinking the dreaded grapefruit juice xxx

Owlpatrol · 07/02/2018 23:06

I'm on the grapefruit juice. Dh not convinced. Deffo loosing my cm up lol tmi alert!! No deeds yet this cycle only cd7 though

LookingAtTheStars89 · 07/02/2018 23:53

@Owlpatrol. I have cm today and said to DH that we should dtd and where is he now? ASLEEP ON THE SOFA! Lol. I know it shouldn't annoy me but when flo comes he'll be bummed out but you can't get pregnant if you don't dtd!! Confused

AaronPurrSir · 08/02/2018 07:41

what does the grapefruit juice do?

LookingAtTheStars89 · 08/02/2018 13:19

Cd13 and sore boobs! What the heck is that about?! I've said to DH that I would be surprised if this cycle is shorter as I have some symptoms of ovulation. Didn't manage to dtd last night but did the night before and will do again tonight so hopefully if that will cover if it is happening earlier.

I was going to book my lady garden scan for day 22 but I might book it for day 15 instead, so I can find out if I've ovulated or not. It'd be good to know for my progesterone bloods.

AaronPurrSir · 08/02/2018 17:04

Lots of CM today and twinging pain which I think is ovulation pain. Fingers crossed for me!

Owlpatrol · 08/02/2018 18:30

Oooh @LookingAtTheStars89 sounds good keep us posted!

Coffeewithmyoxyg3n · 08/02/2018 19:45

Hi all.
Jumping on board as af turned up yesterday Sad came off the pill mid November, so am trying to think of this as a positive I am ovulating again hopefully.

TTC #2
Cd 2
Cycle 3

Just ordered lots of opk's and a bbt thermometer to try this month as no clue when I ovulate.
