First time TTC?!! Let's get through this together!! Part 2

[bluestarlavender]

Hi guys, new thread for us to carry on!

BSL x

Summerbird - The average luteal phase is 14 days (like the average cycle is 28 days!!) but people vary. Last cycle mine was 13 days. I think it can be problem is it's under 10 days, but I would look at 14 days as a guidelines and see when AF arrives. From OV to AF is your luteal phase, so try to see what your average from that.

Hever - my boss check my tummy every time I'm in the office! He's petrified of mat leave!! We have one person out at the moment and are a couple more short! It's hard on the team, but I want to 'breed'!

BSL x

Vix, Bubbap and Hever - This morning I have turned into a manic knicker checker! No sign of AF yet!

Waves to everyone else!

Girls

AF arrived this morning so am a bit

hope everyone is OK, and looking forward to the bank hol weekend xx

oo heverhoney needs to go in there too, how are you today? any sign of the witch yet or are you going to test again?

Hello all,

Hope you're all doing ok and not going to crazy on the wait for TEW!!

I have to say that I've been PMSL at the stories on here over the past couple of days - I've missed out on sooooo much....damn work getting in the way!

Well CD10 for me and so far hav BD'd on CD4, 6 and 8. I have to say that I was WFH on Wednesday and I took another test (why? I don't know!) of course that came out as BFN, but it kinda made me feel a bit better if that makes any sense. As AF only lasted for two and a half days last time I just thought it was a bit odd. At least I know I can have a glass (or two) of wine withought feeling guilty now

Sorry I'm rambling, I'll stop now!

Oooooh missed out the new list!

Yeay MAF CD buddies!!

Hi girls,

Just been to the loo and think my AF is defo on way as there is a bit of spotting and period pains But my doc told me to count cycle day 1 from the first day of my heavy period, so i think im still on d27?! And i have been trying for far too long, well casually trying if theres soooo such thing?! Me and dp had REAL serious conversation and decided to PROPERLY try last month, so i think i might just put my next cycle as cycle 2 as it makes me feel better, is this OK??!!

Aaw Bubbap Im sorry about your AF, but make sure you enjoy yourself over the BH wkend!! Think ill be joining u tomorrow hun!!

I am going to cheer myself up by treating myself to a clearblue fertility monitor.... ooh exciting or what!!
And im looking after my dp's sisters little baby tonight he is only 13 weeks , so that will cheer me up!! Until i take him home lol

Anyway i'll stop babblin and fill in my chart . . .. .

Vix - so sorry, hun!! Evil evil witch!! But wait and see for the rest of the day what happens with the bleeding. My last AF, I thought I would start out slow (very light bleed/spotting) and by the evening I pouring (sorry for TMI). So CD 29 turned into CD1. Also I think it's fine to say it's whatever cycle you feel is right!

BSL x

Sorry Vix!
I agree with Bluestar... that CD29 could turn into CD1. I used to often have this...as soon as it was red blood, I counted it as CD1.
Glad you and DP had a good chat...really important to share the stress, whether it's with him (best situation!) or on here...
Success next month would mean a lovely May baby for you! How lovely...

F.x

aaw thanks girls, i dont know what id do without you all!! My dp is great and handles all of this in his own way, and that is by not talking about it much!! He will listen and give advice when I need him to but to him its not the first thing he thinks about and the last thing he thinks about!!
He has had to do tests to check his swimmers and he found that stressful enough lol!!

My mum is great though , so im very lucky in that way!!

I'll keep checking my AF and if the wicked witch gets red by the end of today i'll change my chart to CD1.

Im gonna stay positive for next month, and im going to use all of the below to make sure i do get a BFP!!!!

1. Drink grapefruit juice
2. Have lots of BDing especially from days 8 - 20
3. Use pre seed
4. Use clearblue fertility monitor
5. Use OV sticks
6. Use basale thermometer
7. Keep legs up in air afterwards ( bless my DP he holds them up for me cos im too lazy ha ha )

Think ive got it covered, if ive missed anything let me know!! Not that im obsessed or anything!!

xx

Hey Vix, I can't think of anything you've missed! But I would watch your OPK sticks and monitor for OV day and make sure you BD enough afterwards too! If I'm not PG, that's something I think we might have done wrong. We BD'ed to OV day and not beyond. Saying that poor DH was knackered as we'd BD'ed loads in the run up and then OV was late by 4 days...so we had to keep going!

Fingers crossed for you!

Hi All,

Sorry haven't been in touch the last 24 hours, really crap time at work. Redundancy exercise that I'm heading up and trying to get all the quotes and letters out is a bloody nightmare!!!

Oh well, back to it, thought I'd just have a quick check through and see how things are going.

Waiting to hear on how hever is doing and whether you're re-testing.

Hope bean is Ok Flirty.

Big hugs and kisses to you all and I'll talk more later!!

So guys, I have 5 mins in the office before I have to leave for the airport!! Although I'm taking a laptop and blackberry, I have no idea of connectivity in Singapore, and will be 7 hours ahead! So I might be around a bit less for a week or so.

Goodluck to everyone waiting to test this weekend!! (but no early testing, girls!!) I have my fingers crossed for someone to join Flirty! Goodluck too to all the ladies coming up to OV...get BDing or yoghurt potting!

Flirty - hope the bean continues to be good!

I will let you all know if I have any good news next week!
