Pixie You are right I am a skank! My dirty thermometer is nothing....this is the rest of my house

Hobnob I agree with Addie - if in doubt do it just in case. From my experience of FF it won't commit to saying you've ov'd until you've had 3 temps above your coverline. So if you ov'd on Sunday it might not pick it up for a day or so yet

Am off to buy DH some birthday presents today. Would love to give him a positive HPT but should probably get some actual presents for him as well

Thanks for the reply bunngirl80, I don't temp, so maybe this is why I'm getting myself well and truely confused! Addie Will try and convince DH to BD tonight to be sure.

Welcome evilgiraffe hope your stay here is short!

welcome evilgiraffe hope you like our thread. it's full of great gals who like to laugh but also are very understanding when you feel

Welcome evilgiraffe! This is my favourite thread on MN, the people here are lovely.

Started cramping last night, really badly. I can only assume I'm ovulating? No idea anymore.

Happy new year everyone

Our internet is down, has been since before the new year but, managed to borrow a neighbour's dongle for a couple of hours today don't want to use up too much of their time, so, thought I'd just say a quick hello and update you on what's been happening with me, I'll read through and catch up with what you've all been up to when we're back online.

It was my birthday yesterday had a lovely day, went out for a meal in the evening and DH's present to me was a pair of diamond earrings!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it, I've coveted a pair for years now and he knew this - they're so special

AF is long gone now, so we'll be DTD as much as possible over the next couple of weeks

Take care all, hopefully I'll be back soon

welcome evilgiraffe, I agree with Kaloki, we are a very friendly and supportive bunch on this thread.

Kaloki, sounds like ovulation to me - its roughly the right time(ish) in your cycle and cramps can be an indication.

Hobnob I echo addie's advice - if in doubt just do it!

When DH went to see the docs last week he was told we should be aiming to DTD 3 every 2-3 days and not to worry about trying to pinpoint ovulation as that can lead to performance (and tracking!) anxiety. He has a bit of point. This month I'm aiming for regular BDing as advised, and planing to up the frequency to coincide with EWCM, which I think is the only reliable sign of ovulation that I've got. Fertility friend is a bit hit and miss for me, so I'm not relying on it to predict ovulation, just to give me an idea of general trends.

Good luck to all those trying to figure out what they should be doing when. I think the basic advice is to aim for regular and often!

Happy birthday Claire. Diamonds - your DH sounds lovely!

Claire That's another thing you and I (almost) have in common. It's my birthday today. Many happy returns to you! I'm of the diamonds. I'm getting a full body massage (not from him, from a pro!) and I'm happy with that.

Hope you are all ok. I must have a proper read of the thread to catch up. I started my second trimester today and have my NHS scan on Thursday, so will let you know how that goes. For now, happy shagging!

happy birthday curly and claire sounds like you have lovely hubbies to give such great pressies.

curly can't wait to hear how your scan goes!

Happy birthday Curly and Claire!

Thanks ladies! I'm well chuffed cause an old friend has just had her baby today. Told her it would be the 5th!

Many belated happy returns claire and curly - wow there are a lot of Capricorns on this thread! Sounds like you were both very pampered on the day!

And welcome evilgiraffe - loving the name BTW..

Well, it's fricking freezing and I'm at the end of AF so nothing to report really, just checking in! Hope you are all having a good week....

Happy birthday to you both!

(thanks guys for letting me be in your gang )

Hello can I join in too please? You do seem like a friendly bunch and I feel I am slowly going mad with this TTC lark and I'm only on cycle 2! Think because I am focusing on a cycle like I've never done before I am noticing things I've never noticed before if that makes sense? Know what you mean about excited and scared evilgiraffe!

Welcome evilgiraffe and sparkly rainbow

Happy birthday curly and claire!

Cramps but no AF so far keeping my fingers crossed but trying not to get my hopes up too much

Ooh mumnerves here's hoping! When are you planning to test?

Welcome sparkly rainbow!

crossing my fingers for you mumnerves! maybe you will be the first BFP graduate of the year.

Thanks worrisome and addie, I buckled, reached for the first response and tested on sunday morning but got a BFN

BUT am due tomorrow so I'm trying to calm myself down and wait till thursday or friday like a good girl should!

Welcome evilgiraffe and sparklyrainbow

Happy birthday claire and curly

I'm crossing my fingers for you mumnerves - maybe you just tested too early on Sunday?!

FF seems to have decided I ov'd on cd23 - I'm pretty sure it was a couple of days earlier than this, but who am I to question the mighty fertility friend Will definitely have to hold off on testing at the end of my ucl though as if FF is right then I'll only be 6dpo - not even first response is that sensitive! Will try and hold off until the middle of next week if no AF before then.

Happy birthday Claire and Curly!!! Mine is in two weeks (Capricorn, too!) and I would be thrilled with a massage or diamonds, but would be shocked if DH thought of either. Gifts really aren't his strong suit. Last year he got me a cordless phone. I can only imagine what it'll be this year. You ladies are lucky!!

Welocome to evilgiraffe and sparklyrainbow! I love your names. I'm really wanting a new name all of the sudden. If this cycle doesn't take, I think I might just treat myself to a more exciting new name.

I had a positive opk on evening of 20 and morning of 21, with a temp dip on 20 and rise on 21. BD'd cd17, 19 and 20, so timing was good. Now we just hope for the best.

I've got a very stressful few weeks coming up at work. I have two murder trials set in the last week of Jan. (these will be my first murders and I'm totally nervous!!!)Stress can push back my ovulation, so I have decided that if this cycle doesn't work, I'll just take it easy next cycle and set our appointment with the fertility doc in late February- after the madness passes. I can't help but hope this cycle works though. How cool would it be to do a murder trial in my first trimester?!

It looks like we've got a bunch of testing coming up. Fingers crossed for everyone! We had 5 BFP's in Dec.- wouldn't it be great if we could top that in January!

Hi girls, welcome evilgiraffe and sparklyrainbow

I'm only on for a wee minute, almost late for work. Thought this month was the month but due this morning and although temp hasn't dipped, it's not gone up any more for a few days and had one tiny 'spot' this morning (sorry if TMI) so I'm not even testing with my internet cheapys because AF is so going to hit within an hour or two I thought this was it. Ho well. Roll on cycle 8 sighhhhhhh.

Hello Ladies! I am just starting TTC too, stupidly thought this would be easy!
I am on cycle 2 and CD 20...and couldnt stop myself from testing today even though i know it is too early, so just wasted the test
I never thought about how hard the 2WW would be.
Looking forward to hearing all your success stories to keep me positive

Thanks for the further birthday wishes, frolickers! aly Gifts are not really my husband's strong suit either, but I did loudly declare at New Year that I could really do with a massage. For once, he listened. (I am amazed!)

Hope the cold isn't hindering anyone's TTC plans

aly it sounds really promising for you this month so i am keeping my fingers crossed. and good luck with your trials later this month.

chance welcome! i've added you to the stats and glad to have you along.

Day 10 for me here so i suppose i better get down to the BDing, although if my cycle is anything like the last two, i won't be ov for another 10 days so i better not get too excited or we might get worn out. i'm away for a girlie weekend in paris too, so hopefully we can get down to it next week when i'm back (absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that!)

also been very good on my diet this week so far but think today's weather might warrant a hot chocolate. anyone care to join?
