Anyone else on CD1 who wants to join me?

[nelix2000]

Hi....cycle 2 just started so back to the begining....just wandered if anyone esle was back at the start of their cycle who wants to join me?

simple wow that is such great news!! well done girly!! you are our shining star for this month, hopefully we'll all follow in your footsteps!

wanabe ahh thank you honey, i hope that i can live up to your expectations! we have hopefully timed it just right and will have another go tonight just to make sure!
I hope your Bding fest can start soon so you can join us on the 2 week wait!

I'm actually enjoying the wait so far, ok so it's day 1 but it feels quite exciting. One thing has to be said for failing for lots of months, you don't build your hopes up as much i'm sure - i feel ready to do the waiting and not anxious to test early - still remind me of this in 2 weeks ok!!!

smiley you and i are exactly the same huh, i am so excited for you, i wish i had updated my FF, i've only just started with it and not sure how to use it properly yet and chart everything, how do you check your cervix? does it change when you OV?

Hi i just have to say my (.)(.) are so painful i might have to take my bra off when i get home! never had this with OV before but i'm hoping its a sign of a strong healthy egg!

I know it's not but more to do with Oestrogen being rich around this time! sadly!

Well Girls congratulations to you all on your BFP.

Lovely good luck for next month keep the positive thoughts

I am going to leave the thread although I will keep checking in for those BFP's. We have decided to stop trying and wait a little while as the finances are becoming tight and we need to re-assess as we're not sure on the security of Hubby's job!!

GOOD LUCK every one xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i've come on
oh well at least i know i am on cd1 now i just have to go get the grapefruit juice.

Huge congrats simpletwistoffate !

Who is next to test?

bubble take care honey, sorry to see you go but please do keep in touch and if things change let us know. lots of love for the future xxx

whitebeaches oh no!! nightmare! well like you say, at least it's the start of a fresh month, yes get guzzling that juice girl!

funtime i think according to the list it's me and smiley to test next, i'm due on 3rd Nov so will wait until then, def not testing early! i normally spot on CD25 so if no spot i will test on 3rd (cd26) eeek!

smiley hopefully you are too busy BDing to see this thread so i will check again tomorrow to make sure you were 'legs on wall' we did just to make sure and now DH has begged for a day off ... oh how things change, it wasn't long ago he was keen to practice ...!

Simpletwistoffate Congratulations!!

This month is a bit of a write-off for me,as DH and I both had a cold! what wonderful timing. So only bded about twice, even though I was trying to lure DH for more bding, it never worked. Imagine this both of us coughing and noses running ... hummmmmmmmm not a pretty sight! So I understand when he got annoyed when I insisted "Its time, It's time... my OPK stick is pink ... I am going to ovulate". His reply, "I have been not feeling well all day and that is all you are thinking about". Hell, yes! I was a little bit shamed of myself, as I am getting too involved in hitting the target! So now its a waiting game for me, you never know Cindy taps her fingers

c1ndy if it helps my DH begged last nite to have a nite off! and last nite we were both saying 'so shall we get started then?' and neither of us fancied it, i hate it too when it gets so regimented and planned. I actually look forward to the post OV time when we can have 'early nites' and it be for fun only!

But like you said you never know, at least you are being honest with yourself about it, but hey it only takes one, my DD was produced from one attempt just before OV!

A new list for a new day ... i've taken off the ladies who seem to have left us (hopefully for an antenatal thread!)

eeeks - am next to test so pressure is on. Don't get excited though - am pretty sure not pregnant.

I've not been temping but bought a proper bbt thermometer yesterday and did it for first time when I woke up - 36.63. Does this mean anything at all in isolation?

Hi can i join this thread AF due 7th Nov ttc#2 am on clomid and its sooo nice to read all the happy messages and BFPs on this thread

yellow eek yes no pressure then girl! when will you do test? fingers crossed for you honey!

pinkie hi, welcome to our thread, add yourself to our list honey and please do join in. and yes we are a thread of BFP'ers! this month!!

this thread is my lifeline!!

Heeby, realised I'd added my AF onto the bottom; have moved it up to where you'd added it! We have now pretty much decided to sit this month out 'to heal' so I guess that AF will be arriving... Oh well. Roll on next cycle!

Hi all

I am waiting for the opk to go +ive but have been following the sperm meets egg plan so been bding since day 8 the ovualtion calculators say that next few days are ov days so maybe every night for next few then back to everyother.

Not that its not impromptu am just like you c1ndy with dh getting fed up that its timed. But whats a girl to do cant be wasting the 2ww knowing that have missed the right days. That would be torture

Well heeby, the sad truth is I bought 20 internet cheapers for a tenner so tested this am already but am discounting it because I think though I am day 27 today period was very odd and it might be day 25 of 30 day cycle. Am just going to use the internet cheapies whenever I feel like it and then if period not here by next Wed that's whan I will start to get excited. Easier said than done of course - have weird nipples - they feel like they are constantly erect but when I look at them they aren't. But after bening so up and down last month I am trying to persuade myself not pregnant this month.

Yellowflowers Heeby It is difficult not to stop making the process regimented. I have been following the sperm meets the egg plan but did not get to complete the last two days (after the OPK goes pink). Will be surprised if I am pg but am happy to wait next month to try again! I am really getting the hang of this... testing and stuff .. it is getting kind of addictive hehehe!

I would like to get some cheap OPK sticks, which site is the best to try.

I have one pg test in my bag which I will be using after I am 3 days late... which I am hoping I will get to use. I tested early in Sept before AF and MC, so thought I would wait this time around.

I get my cheapies from babymad.com - they always arrive in plain brown bag (though my dh recognises them now) two days after ordering

HI C1ndy the whole addictive thing with the tests is catching.

I remember doing the same thing when i first got a +ive hpt with my dd (8yrs ago). After 3 miscarriages the consultant sent me for a scan. But all that was seen was thick lining and a sac. They made me wait another 10 days in case dates were wrong or needed evacuation.

I think i went through 2 a day until that scan. I think they make us feel like we are doing soemthing.

Now while ttc#2 i cant stop doing opks or the hpts when AF due. I do those even if i have been sympton spotting and know that AF is on the way. Then at least disappointment comes before AF and i am a bit more prepared and dont get too upset.

WOW sorry for ranting on must have needed that really sorry

Also quite good prices and delivery on accessdiagnostics. If you go on use coupon code thank you for a discount

hi, we have been TTC for 6 months with no luck, last month i tried the ovulation sticks from Wilkinson but nothing, i just had a look at the babymad.com site mentioned by yelloflowers and was wondering if anyone had used the ovulation microscope and if its any good? sorry to interupt - i follow you all daily!!

oooh yellow fingers crossed for you. Not long to wait now!
36.3 sounds def like a post ov temperature but taken in isolation it's difficult to attribute anything more meaningful.I am not sure what happens to temp if you are successful. I temped last month but haven't bothered this month - just using OPK's.

Welcome *Pink1e" - you have picked a great thread to join

heeby yes we tried again last night but like you we weren't really up for it, we both fell asleep on the sofa, woke up & said well I guess we'd better get off to bed knowing what was coming next, its such hard work when your not really in the mood, anyway my temp still dropped again this morn, only 0.1 but still a drop so I guess I am either still OVing or just about to which means I'll have to do something special tonight to entice DH into bed as he thought it was a night off but don't want to miss my chance of getting the little swimers in the right place at the right time, I'll be glad when I see the 3 days of higher temps that way I know we can relax & get back to 'fun' bd instead of planned
You asked about checking your cervix, you need to check it at the end of your AF (or during if your that brave) to see how it feels, then once a day at about the same time as it changes position throughout the day & note if its low, med or high & if its hard or soft & open or closed. Just after AF & OV its low,hard & closed, when you get close to OV it rises up, goes soft & opens up to let the little swimmers in, so you can tell if your getting close to OVing & when its passed, along with your CM its quite a good sign. Mine is still high, soft & open today so DH is not getting off so lightly tonight I'll make him is fav dinner see if I can get him in the mood without telling him I'm still OVing, what are we like

Hi wasabi it was 36.63 so even better I think. But who knows really. x

yellow I've been charting mine this month & it started at 35.5, went up a little the 2nd day, then dropped to 36.2 over a couple of days, went back up to 36.7 & now over the last couple of days its dropped again to 36.2, but from what I've read it drops a little just b4 u OV, then after OV it starts to rise, but this has to be without a drop for more than 3 days, then stays higher till AF when it will drop low again

2 different sites have 2 different temps for the before OV & after OV one says it should be between 36.1 & 36.3 at the follicular phase and then after you OV (Luteal phase) be around 36.4 & 36.6 and the other site says 36.5 & 37 during folicular and then rise 0.2 to 0.4 after OVing, but I think the big thing is the continued rise after you have OV'd is the important bit & then the big dip again if AF is on her way, if you get this dip when AF is usually due they say you will either get it later that day or early the next

that's really good info - thanks! I guess I will do it every morning from now on and see what happens - hopefully no dip.
