Hoping September WILL bring that bfp

[toytownmum]

I've had to leave the Aug thread very early on.... Blasted AF

Now going all out to get that BFP in September

TTM x

hey josey,
I stopped taking the pill last year and my cycles soon returned to normal. We'd been using condoms until last month. The only thing I've done differently this cycle is ttc, not drink alcohol (except last night!), not drink coffee and eaten less kitkats. I've had all the usual AF symptoms too, sore boobs and cramps - they've just continued for the last three weeks! Got a docs appt on Monday tho, hopefully she'll do something useful.

Thank you for the welcome.

OK my cycle after being very up and down over many years now seems to be about 30 days and has been for a few months.

Sorry to be a bit thick but what does CD stand for

CD is cycle day.

Thank sfor that

Hi all,
CD8 today and using the CB Digital Monitor this month and still showing low fertility which I expected however I seem to have a lot of EWCM (sorry if TMI )
Any ideas? Should I go for it anyway. I don't want DH little wrigglers dwindling and being of poorer quality by doing 'it' too early iyswim

Don't know but I had SOME EWCM around CD9, plus the twinges, but yesterday (CD13) I had a 2nd line on my Persona Ovulation Sticks which I believed to be signs of ovulating however the monitor didn't show the symbol (but think it wasn't set properly to start with)

Sooooo......I don't know I'm afraid but I went for it then and am now. At the end of the day, I believe once every other day is fine.

Thanks for that looneytune
That's what I thought so I just jumped my DH as he was getting into the shower (alert - tmi)

libralady - I am in full support of the regular jumping on of dps, even when not in max fertility. Otherwise the little swimmers get all gummed up (urgh) from underuse, I find

LOL Spink.

Goingfor3 - you said that your cycle used to be 28 days, but has dropped - I wondered whether you knew why this has happened, as mine has recently dropped from 28days - 26days, and wasn't sure why? (Realise it could b one of those things) Thanks

ladies, can i join in. ttc for 2 years! (yes i am having sex) 42 years old, should i give up? x

libralady, you jump away lol!! some things I have read there is 3 types of EWCM the stuff you need is apparently very stretchy and can stretch up to 10cm in lenght?! can I borrow the [retch emoticon] I love how someone must have sat for months to discover all this.

lololola give up sex? never lol!

DG make the doc appointment, its possible you get have a BFP just very low hormone for a home test, it happens. It will also put your mind at rest theres nothing else going on.

Right away to try and get some sleep before tomorrow dreading it now.

Sex or ttc?

that was for lolalola

Wow digitalgirl CD40? how you doing? I hope my long stressful cycles aren't catching, hopefully a BFP is on its way for you, fingers crossed.

Good to do CD1 in style

Morning all quite a few of us flying down the table now, on CD1 you think it's going to drag in but it's goes fast doesn't it?

I've had quite a wobbly morning, read some posts on the ttc after mc board which set me off, have cried on and off all morning. Had a bit of a talk with DP last night but he went to bed at 10 saying he was v tired so couldn't really jump on him. Feel kind of weird about it anyway.

Anyway hope you all have a good day x

SK the sun is shining here - is it sunny where you are? I don't think the lousy weather we've been having helps does it. I intend to go out with ds in a short while and get a bit of Vit D from the sun - I am lacking big time.

Morning all, bit gutted as we should have done the business last night but didn't happen. CD15 and last BD was on CD12 We're doing the every other night thing (or were) and so last night we should have but both fell asleep as sooooooo tired. Then I woke him up at 2am and got him ready for it but he just couldn't finish. Poor thing, this NEVER happens - I reckon it's something to do with the pressure to perform as it's not more frequent than we used to, just that I'm telling him we must on certain days. So annoyed. So now I feel like this month won't be our month although I'm still waiting for EWCM so maybe not all lost???? Still gutted though.

LOL at the funny stories of jumping on dh's and swimmers etc!

lololola - welcome Tell us what CD you're on, which cycle, and which baby number you're ttc and we'll add you to the list! Of course you should keep trying. Have you been tested as it's been over a year?

DigitalGirl - couldn't you see the Dr sooner than Monday? Gosh, it must be driving you mad! Hope that one way or the other you find out what's what soon, it's the not knowing that's the pain isn't it!!

pixie - sounds lovely

sweetkitty - {{{ hugs }}} What's upset you? Just the general MC thing or something else? The waiting must be agony too

Your poor dh LT. Think the painters are coming - pink/red streaking going on. Oh well, onward with the next cycle. Probably best as when I go to the m/c clinic next week I suppose it would be best if I wasn't pregnant so that they can do baseline investigations.

gosh CD40, feels like I've been waiting forever for something to happen - but at the same time everyone whose cycles I was sharing seems to have rushed into their next one and be well into bd'ing time! am feeling a lot better after the bfn on tuesday. have stopped googling for 'missed period/negative pregnancy test'. now happy to wait till monday for doc appt, although a little concerned she'll tell me 6 week cycles are nothing to worry about and send me packing without a blood test.

LT - if you're still waiting for EWCM then don't worry about not having had sex for a couple of days...believe me, the worrying doesn't help at all! It will come and then so will he and then so will you and then ta-da: bfp!
SK - hope you're feeling better, but sometimes it helps to have a good cry...
Ladylush - much as you probably don't want to be on CD1 I am actually of your short cycle!

Ladylush - I know, felt really bad for him. Wondering if there's something going round as we are both VERY VERY tired today plus ds didn't wake us up this morning and was very sleepy when I did go in his room

digitalgirl - I know, you're right. Must say I'm still confused with why I got EWCM on CD9

p.s. DG, Just tell the Dr you want a blood test to rule it out and say you know sometimes they don't show up on urine samples. At least then if it's still BFN, you will know and then AF will probably turn up!

Thanks for all your kind words they really do help, well went to toddlers where theres 3 bumps and 2 newborns so stay away from newborns but of course DD2 goes over to a sleeping one, think I have to go check if she's bashing him on the head and the Mum starts chatting to me saying she thinks DD2 wants a little brother or sister didn't tell her anything would just make her feel bad but

I'm thinking when will I stop feeling like this about babies, DD2 is only 19 months FGS she is a baby I have a baby already why do I want another one so bad what is wrong with me?

Ladylush - am of your weather, I'm in central Scotland it's never sunny here

LT - not surprised your DH wasn't up for it at 2am bless him, the stress does get to both of you doesn't it. Try not to stress about BDing on the "right" days, with both the DDs I have sex once that month only (for various reasons DP in another country) I have a 28 day cycle, DD1 BD'ed CD17 thought it was way too late, DD2 was CD11 thought I was too early, I get EWCM day 14-15 normally, so just to show you you don't need to get your days right it really is a littery this ttc business.

digitalgirl - thanks for you kind words too so sorry about the BFNs and AFs not showing up, bloody cruel world sometimes

Anyway I'm away to do some cleaning am going to put on some happy tune music as well am also going to make some fairy cakes with DD1 now my oven in working. Will pass some around later.

Am in the same place as you sweetkitty. Poor DP is being practically attacked at every turn, he is holding up at the moment but not sure if he will make it to next week! Fingers crossed.
