The Grapefruit drinking knicker checking ttc brigade

[yellowflowers]

Hello,

As Nelix has a bfp (yay!) and she started the last one I thought I'd start this one as a continuation of this thread

Here's hoping we all get BFPs this month but if not then let's continue the thread until we all graduate

Thanks village - and all back to normal now. How you today? I'm opking but don't expect positive until Monday really as usual cycle is 30 days, though started deanna plan early. Truth is we bd at weekends anyway, it's doing it in week that is hard.

Hi yellow, my cycle also used to be 30 days, since mc seems to have become 32 (ov on cd19), so I've been wondering when to start the alternate days BDing on the Deanna Plan next month - thought around cd 12 instead of 8? Is that more or less what you've done?
Phew, I'm so glad this ov is over and now the countdown to AF is on - and then we can START!! Though all that BDing may not be so much fun when it becomes a reality .

Hi village - we started day 8 because I am worried that what if not conceiving because ovulating earlier than i thought with long lp instead, and therefore missing it every month as we save ourselves for the bd marathon over ovulation. so have actually so far done cd 7 (bonus!), cd 8, cd 10 and hopefully tonight which is cd 12, though really not expecting to ovulate until cd 16.

I'm the same as you yellow. My usual cycle can be 31 - 33 days long and usually ov on day 18 so probably didn't need to start BDing until day 12 but started BDing on day 8 as suggested on the Deanna Plan just in case I ov'd early. Means probably lots of BDing but hey-ho

Thanks Yellow and Pezzina, the early ov thing did cross my mind as well - sod's law is that next cycle will probably be the one in which I ov early - think I may start on cd 8 too and just follow the DP to be sure (well, why not? )

Thank you everyone for the good wishes. I had a tiny bit of red this morning when I wiped & thought that AF was on its way today as had lots of period pain yesterday & have still had them today although not as strong, but as yet it still hasn't come. On one hand its a good thing as I could still be pg, but on the other I wish it would hurry up & arrive so that I can get on with next month I don't usually have period pains without the period so am really confused this month. I'll give it another couple of days & then retest if nothing has happened, that way I know I am def late as it will be over 28 & I have never been over 28 days

My take on DP is that no matter what your cycle length is you should still do it according to the plan as sometimes you ovualate early and therefore conception is more likely to happen if you have had bding before ovulation.

Smileycat it may be implantation bleeding, so you never know.

I am so out of touch with all the comments below, promise to be better next week. Had a wonderful day today, went bowling and ice skating with the little one! am exhausted though and had a large glass of wine... which was naughty... but it was ever so nice!

Speak to you all soon

Heeby take it easy sweety

Any news smiley? C1NDY your dp makes sense i think, how i worked it out was took my normal length and worked back 14 days, so i guess you could work out your average length and then follow the plan but maybe a day or so earlier and then maybe extend the 3 days to 4 or 5? we extended it to 4 as i was having CM on that extra day as well.

smiley I hope this is implantation bleeding. When I wax pregnant (unknowingly) with ds I had a bleed the day before I was due which I just assumed was normal period a bit early for no reason. I put a tampon in but it came out clean which obviously I thought was odd but didn't give it much thought. Started again 48 hours later which I obv thought, oh right its starting properly now but exactly the same thing happenned. I tested the next day just to rule it out and what do you know?

The moral of the story is - its not over until AF properly arrives!

no sign of the witch yet heeby still getting lots of white creamy CM if you don't mind me asking heeby of a matter of interest seeing as you are prego do you still have CM & is it creamy?

Oh & my temp dropped another 0.1 this morn, its not quite at coverline yet but nearly there I guess tomorrow morning will be the day. If it drops another 0.1 it will be below coverline & AF should be here, if it rises again well watch this space...but not holding my breath as AF will be due if on a 28 day cycle

Morning all - thank goodness its Friday! Neither my DH or I have had a very good week at work.

However, I'm going to have to try and take my DH's mind off things - my OV is due any day now which means BDing every day. Got to keep him interested

smileycat I hope it is implantation bleeding and not AF. My fingers are crossed for you. As wasabie says - it is not over until AF properly arrives!

smiley i had creamy CM almost every day after OVing and it has tapered off a bit now but still have a bit. I thought this was really weird as i stopped GFJ and don't normally get CM in 2nd 2 weeks.

Looks like the bitch opps!!! did I say that out loud, sorry the witch got me this afternoon, at least I can take a couple of tablets to carm my tum & wash them down with a large glass of wine tonight, big sigh
DH is happy well in the way that he gets to do lots more trying next month. Hes happy to try the DP plan so will be joining you all this month on it, fingers crossed for all who are on their 2WW

Big ((hugs)) smileycat

Sorry to hear that the witch got you - but enjoy your wine tonight

sorry to hear that smileycat and pinkie - lots of love.

We managed to do it last night too so have done days 7,8, 10 and 12 so far... Now it's the weekend so day 14 no probs. But expect to ovulate Mon and not sure how happy dh will be at Mon, Tues and Wed!

Have a nice weekend everyone.
x

I'm really sorry to hear that smileycat

If its any comfort I think I am going to join you - started to get cramps today which I typically get one week before AF arrives. (they then go away again - no I don't get it either)

I used to think they were implantation pains but I've wised up now.

I'm so disappointed, I really thought it was going to be my month

Am going to drink a huge glass of wine this evening. Very possibly two.

smiley, pinkie, wasabi, really sorry to hear you've been nabbed... still have 10 days to go before AF and the start at last of ttc - oof, the wait is really getting to me! Patience, patience... we will all get there! ((hugs))

yellow, way to go, sounds as if you're leaving no room for error!

Thanks yellow why dont you throw a sunday night in there for good measure so that if you get your +ive on monday/Tues you will have had as much as poss before hand?

villagemum not long to go ((hugs)) someone said patience is a virtue, that person clearly wasnt ttc

Hsve moved myself to the bottom too. Felt therapeutic. Onwards and upwards. My ds was born in September - maybe the cosmos wants his sibling to have a birthday in the same month - who knows?

After a bit of a cry I feel better. Its annoying because I know I am a full week away from AF but I just know its going to happen.

Yellow - I am very impressed with your schedule

Bubble, Becky and wanabemum I hope as the next testers behind me you have more luck! xx

wasabi, I'd love a September sprog, think it's a fantastic month to be born in - all that Virgo sang froid . Maybe don't give up on this cycle just yet though? This is probably the one where you think you aren't pg and then find you ARE!

Thanks pinkie... I'm pretending to be a productive, normal, sane person in the meanwhile but who am I fooling?

Any news from Spats?

wasabi you seems to have updated an old copy with my old dates on so have re-done this one, sorry to hear wasabi & pinki that you are joining me this on the AF list, we can all hold each others hands next month on the 2WW
I feel suprizingly positive tonight looking forward to trying next month already. I had a chat with DH & he addmitted that he was sort of hoping it wasn't this month as he/she would be one of the youngest in the class & next month would be better (sorry heeby) but its nice to see that DH is thinking about this as much as I am. Right I'm going to sit down to tea now & a very large glass of wine hmmmm, then a lovely hot bath. AF does have it pros as well as cons
