Mosschops I am on the right thread (I think) I'm due my AF today sometime as I know I'm not pregnant this month.
So will ov sometime within the next 16 days and hence if pregnant would have a Oct Baby?

Someone please clarify if i'm right I'm starting to doubt myself

Anyway, all the horror stories under the sun couldn't stop me from wanting to have a baby and i'm sure as you all say if it was that bad no one would have kids

mosschops30 · 07/01/2009 13:05

Oh I thought you were trying to concieve this cycle, as I am cd31 I knew that if I am pg would be a september baby so thought you might me too.

Good luck ttc this month

dancingqueeen · 07/01/2009 13:50

thanks for adding me in bubble.

Am going to treat myself to an ovulation kit tomorrow (any recommendations?), then a large bottle of wine with my best friend on sunday

dh is happy, he gets another month of sex

WaitingforaSproglettoFall · 07/01/2009 19:25

Can I join please, DH and I were going to start trying next month but decided we couldn't wait so are going for it this month

Going to go with every other night from tonight (CD10) until next Thursday (CD18). Based on the last 3 months my cycle is normally 28 - 29 days with ovualating appearing to be around the classic CD14!

I also buy my ov sitcks off ebay and pregnancy tests off 'fertity plan'. Find them really good value for money. Paid £2.80 for ten pregnancy strips and £3.00 for 25 ov strips

StealthPo09IsHere · 07/01/2009 20:08

Hi everyone
as I mentioed lower down I'm usinf fertilityplan ov kit from ebay (although I paid more than that ) but this will be the first time

MensaReject · 07/01/2009 20:20

Hello, i'd like to join please. I'm on cd18 (on Clomid) and ttc number 3. This is our first month on Clomid, we have to self inseminate as dp suffers from delayed ejaculation. Have no idea if i've ovulated yet but we have done the deed on cd 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 and 15. The last few days dp hasn't managed, but i've had pains in my right side so think we may have missed the crucial days. This is our 7th month of trying, i think we have less chance cause of the way we do it unfortunately.

StealthPo09IsHere · 07/01/2009 21:24

Hi MR
You sound like you've been through a lot. keeping my fingers crossed for you.
how long is your cycle?

WizzyWoo · 07/01/2009 22:56

Evening all. Is anyone else who's ttc and having to wait until after AF has gone on merry way suffering a bit from insomnia? I don't normally at all (unless caused by DD wailing occasionally or more likely DH's snoring) but this week I'm really struggling to sleep. Thoughts of ttc, what happens once I've had BFP (I hope) and labour keep going round my head (along with Britney Spears' Womanizer song).

I have another burning question about conceiving (honestly, you wouldn't think I'd managed to once before but as she was kinda accidental...) Do you have to lie on the bed with your bum raised on pillows after BDing?

PavlovtheCat · 07/01/2009 23:01

OK, so I am tentatively adding my name here, I say tentatively as I have no idea of dates and due when if conceived when. I am a little nervous and also a little excited...

I am not trying yet. I have my implant removed on 16th, then its down to nature to decide (with a little help from us, obviously!). I was told I would be back to my whatever normal fertility levels will be after 4 days. So, would that be October? Or am I looking at November now?

PavlovtheCat · 07/01/2009 23:02

or. Am I on the wrong one here? Oh just kick me out now...!

WizzyWoo · 07/01/2009 23:42

Hi Pavlov I'm still trying to get my head round the whole conception/due thing myself and am relying on others to keep me right! Not sure which thread you should be on but hope nature's kind to you anyway

PavlovtheCat · 07/01/2009 23:50

I am I think a little confused by all the abbreviations, and it made me think that perhaps I stumbled across the wrong thread. I am thinking I understand it now, after a nosey...

I have absolutely no idea what cycle I am on/going to be on, length of period, or ovulation times etc! Before I fell pg with DD I was on the pill, but had irratic periods, like a real one then a fake one, then a gap then all over again. Then I had DD, had no periods for about 8 months, then had two, then had the implant, and nought but a rare spotting since.

How on earth do I start the 'knowing' process? How LONG will that take to work out? Is it going to be months?

MensaReject · 08/01/2009 01:16

Stealth - I have no idea about cycle lenght as i've always been very irregular 35-65 days! I've read tho that Clomid gives you a normal cycle so fingers crossed i'll be able to start working out when i ovulate etc. The only plus point is that i get to lie down for half an hour every day with my legs up - anything for a bit of peace and quiet we've managed to give it another go tonight, (tmi sorry) what day should we stop? I have no symptoms of anything except a cold yet.

Well, bd (think that's the right abbreviation!) last night and lay there for 20 minutes afterwards with my bum on a pillow. Have no idea if that actually makes a difference or not but thought I'd give it a go .

A TMI question I'm afraid, how essential is it for me to orgasm after DH? I know the cervix sort of dips down as it were but after DH had 'delivered' I couldn't relax enough to come a second time....

The things the ttc makes you think about!

sorry waiting... you missed a few newbies off your list... i will stick them back on

i heard that laying on your left after intercourse helps you concieve a boy and on the rightside for a girl!!! we should all record that and see if it works for a laugh.

Whoopsy - thanks for updating bluebell

Quite like the idea of a MN experiment, but DH and I keep changing our minds about what sex we'd prefer so I'd spend the entire time switching sides!

Guess I better head off to work

bubblebell1 · 08/01/2009 09:26

waiting i also heard that if you orgasm before you dh then that favours boy sperm and if you dont orgasm at all then that favours girls!! not sure how true but we should try that out too

girlwithacurl · 08/01/2009 09:40

Wow Menas kudos to you! you must be exhuasted!

I don't think you have to lay on your back with feet in the air, but if it makes you feel better then I say where is the harm!

Hello pavlov Moss hope this is your month! we will get there together.
