Trying to concieve 11 thread for October!! For us Unlucky ones on 10

[cp3]

CD 5!!! Here we go again, not that im sure i want to after the day ive had with the kids.

I know!!!!! I'm feeling quite pleased with myself today!! hee hee.

It was very intimate (quite unuual after 9 months of ttc - it's normally wham, bam, thank you mam, kind of sex)

It felt like we were having sex because we wanted to NOT because we HAD to - great feeling!!!!!

Anyway, I bet my dh is REALLY glad I'm sharing this with you

SORRY!!!!!!!!! I REALLY have stopped this thread in it's tracks!!!! It really was TMI wasn't it

I'M SORRY!!!!!!

G'day girls, Wow so much to catch up on. Good luck to all those waiting to test!!
Sweetheart ~ I was there too last night dh gone away tonight for work so last night was amazing and iam not even oving yet it really takes the presure of you when you bd for the pleasure of it not just to get pg.
Currently on CD8 not expecting to ov till this weekend. will be feeling all pretty this weekend for my bestfriends wedding always do as a bridesmaid so that should help with the bding this w/end. iykwim.

dont be sorry sweetheart. i know i always feel like telling the world when we have GREAT sex. nothing to be about.

Everyone's gone quite cos we are all so jealous!

Only kidding - really pleased for you both, sounds like you all had a great time last night!

There must have been something in the air, cos it was all a bit lively in our house too!

There was nothing in the air in my house - DH was sulking about it this morning . My excuse was I was too bloody tired after 2 kids parties and a night out in less than 24 hours!

I was more than anything else sweetheart!

sweetheart, You go girl..
I have to say i am of you, bding has been slack this wkend!!!
SO who is testing sooooon???

I had almost decided to test just now but then went to the loo and spotted some light red on the loo roll.....now not sure if af on way or just a bit too forceful bding last night (TMIIK, sorry).

To scared to test now.

thanks girls - glad to hear I wasn't the only one

Runtus, maybe you should wait until tomorrow and see if af arrives - that way if it does you can have spent the whole of today feeling excited that you might be preg and you'll save yourself £5!!! I don't know about you but this ttc lark is getting bloody expensive for me!!!!

hi can I come in and rant please.
every month it's the same, I get AF symptoms like clockwork about 8 days before AF, spots, bloating etc. It's horrible because then I have 8 days of thinking, "well you're definitley not pregnant again" and yet there is always a tiny part thinking "well maybe". I wish I didn't get AF symptoms and then it wouldn't prolong the inevitable so long
good luck sweetheart and runtus

Lets face it, the whole bloody thing is enough to make you hit the bottle! I can see now why people have to take time off from ttc once in a while...

I know runtus, it's vile sometimes isn't it.
I will now spend the next 8 days waiting for AF which I know is going to come whilst being tortured by vague, fleeting possiblity that could be pregnant.

kr,

Can you turn this into a positive thing?!?!?!? Ie, because you have the symptoms you don't have to spend days agonising over wether af is coming or not. I don't have symptoms normally and my cycle can be anything from 29 days + so it's a really long waiting game some months.

Realistically - I do know it's crap and i'd love to give you a big bear hug!!!

You know what the answer is don't you.......... CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!

I guess that's one way of looking at it sweetheart, thanks, and I am grateful that cycle is only 28 days.

I had a weird thing happen this month though. Got CM around day 9 (not had before and put it down to the starflower oil I've been taking) and always on a fixed 28 day cycle. is CM a sign you are going to OV or that you have OVed?
Also, (and I realise how dim I am going to sound here but...) I get AF on day 28 of cycle (thus it becomes CD1) so does that make my cycle 27 or 28 days? Have been using persona for 4 months but hasn't detected OV days yet so have just ordered ov tests from medisave. Sorry for the ramble.

if you get af on cd28 - it's actually cd1 and your cycle is 27 days.

I think getting cm means you will ovulate in the next 24-28 hours but not 100% sure on that one.

Medisave are a godsend aren't they - I ordered a load of ovulation kids last week. Am using the lid of dh's deodarant to collect my sample each morning as someone else euggested

sorry I meant 24-48 hours!!!!

Hi Kr,

basically when both lines are about equal on the persona sticks (or the one that starts off faint gets darker than the other one) that's O time- they are just the same as Opk's but the machine reads them.

as for cycle days- day one is the first day of full bleeding so if you start part way through day 28 then day one is day 29 (meaning you have a 28 day cycle) if day 28 is ful day of bleding then your cycle will be 27 days. CM is usually a sign that you are going to ov and should get bd!!

hth

wow, thats very informative Geordie!!!

I never knew that about cd's. I always though whenever you started bleeding was day 1!!!!!

basically if af arrives in the am I count it as cd 1 if it arrives in the pm i count the next day as cd 1- think that came from the toni wecshler book!!

Hi girls, don't know if I am allowed on this thread or not as I was on the other thread and a graduate

I just don't feel ready to be shouting from the rooftops and seem to want to cling to the familiarity of you lovely girls.

Hope you understand, but for those of you that don't, well I had a very traumatic miscarriage back in July and have only just found out that I am pregnant. Had a BFP on 23rd September and again on 27th and 29th but still can't believe it.

I know I am probably worrying unnecessarily, but I think I would prefer to stay here if I am allowed.

Cobweb xxx

Cobweb,

I think I speak for everyone when I say of course your allowed!!!!

Perhaps your presence will bring us all some good luck

Hello Cobweb - come on in. How are you feeling anyway?

Cobweb, Understand totally... I would be the same.. How are you feeling ???

Where did everyone go?

I'm off now (early finish, hurrah)may test tonight afterall, not sure I can hang on much longer.

Wish me luck!
