TTC October - bring on the spooky BFP's part 2

[sweetkitty]

Ladies the thread got too big so I have started a new one hope you don't mind, I will cart the list and the tonnes of baby dust over in a minute.......................

If I don't fall this cycle (and let's face it, CD41 is not looking good for me), then I will definitely be chilling out next cycle. No ov sticks, no thinking about the right days. Just having sex when we feel like it. The only thing is my cycles are so long I don't know when I'm supposed to start thinking about testing...

SK your post got me thinking.....

Found this on Clearblue website:

Women have cycle lengths that vary and the most common cycle length is somewhere between 23 and 35 days long. Any variation in cycle length that does occur is usually during the part of the cycle before you ovulate (follicular phase). Most women then have 12?16 days between ovulating and starting their next period (luteal phase).

I also saw another website that said luteal phase can be 10-16 days - looks like we are normal!

Must stop now and do some work!

Niece and DD2 asleep, DD1 reading In the Night Garden magazine so I'm on here it's freezing here today.

Aww excitable it sucks when your job isn't going well (((hugs))) for you, my job used to be like that sometimes I still have rotten days being a SHM bt at least I am here with the LOs.

minnow - thanks yes looks like I am normal too, for the two DDs we had sex CD11 and CD18, thought first time too early, second time too late. Only with the last pregnancy did we time it for ovulation, womens bodies don't always read the book though.

DG - sounds like a plan it worked for Loneytunes

I was reading stuff from an ovulation calendar site and frankly I am amazed. It states if a girl baby is wanted the woman should not have an orgasm. I expect to have an orgasm whenever I have sex so I'm quite

Surely this can't be true. Looks like DH isn't going to get his little girl then...

Humph. No orgasms indeed. Excitable walks away muttering....

I'm with you DG and thanks for the great advice har - just going to relax next month and do whatever feels right.
Easier said than done - i'm sure i'll be twitching like a lunatic by cd12!
Symptom spotting update - slight nausea and wind (it was the first thing i noticed with dd1)!
Going away for a week tomorrow. AF due sometime around the middle of the week so I'll fill you in as soon as i'm back next sat. Here's hoping

I know excitable - check out the babydust site. Must've been designed by a bloke Looking at the bit for conceiving a boy, the option is not there much either. I know ttc sex can be rather clinical but honestly

I had an orgasm and a DD so that blows that theory for me!

Went to Doctors yesterday and as I expected she said my two Chemical Pregnancies are just incredibly bad luck. She said that if I have another one they will do some simple blood tests to check everything is ok. So I just have to be positive.

mtw - so frustrating when they tell you it's just bad luck isn't it. Glad your dd disproves the theory re. that site

Hi All, didn't have much chance to post yesterday so just catching up.

Lol at the non-orgasmic conceiving. Shame MN hasn't a WTF emoticon Load of old tripe if you ask me - I had a dd with the aid of orgasms

There seems to be positive vibes on here this morning which is a good thing

Agree missus - the cynical emoticon doesn't quite cut it

I also have a DD from Sex with orgasm, so it does indeed sound like a pile of !

What is more worrying, sex with no orgasm. Although my DP does tell me I am a very selfish lover, so I tell him I'm doing him a favour, that way he always has a challenge, and after 9 years he must love it else he would have been out the door by now.

Easier to feel positive on a friday .

Well I'm CD31 today, 1st cycle off pill so just waiting for AF to arrive. Wish she'd hurry up so I can start new month (which is new hope as somebody said!)

Had the coil taken out on Tues.....now ive got fresh small light red period.....had my period come already!!! as i did have brown spotting on the same day as when i had the coil taken out

oh and other - what is Bd'd???

I had DD with sex and no orgasm, DH jumped me when we were pissed after just moving house . TEW due in the next couple of days although I was 5 days late last month but had all the crampy signs of which none this month so fingers crossed.

Also the ovulatuion clander that I looked at said that you are fertile for around six days, so if want a girl you need to BD the first three days and a boy the 2nd three days, girl sperm slower swimmers apparently and need a head start

queenofbleach - im secretly hoping for a boy this time but if i have a girl then i still love her as much as my DD

I want a baby. I'd quite like two actually and then only have to go through labour once or twice. Labour scares the bijaysus out of me.

Lots of BDing here as hopefully ovulating over last couple days. Going to see my Mum in Scotland for week from tomorrow without DH so last chance tonight for this month.
Had quite lot of ov cramps last couple nights

kirstygem All sounds good, so fingers crossed for this month

Well with regards to the whole 'orgasm theory' if you have multiple does that equal twins

Joking or course

gosh i have forgotton what period feels like!...havent had a period for 2.5 yrs due being on the coil and guess what!!!....ive forgotton to buy some sanitary pads!!!

kirstygem - sending alot of baby dust on your waaaaaayyyyyy!!! *
