Argh.. I really want to join you guys. Shall I??!!!

I already have a DD, she was born on the 21st December 2008. If I hop on the December bus and get a BFP (which would be lovely, well more than lovely!) my due date would be the 24th December.... I just don't know if having 2 birthdays and Christmas all in such a short space of time would be too much, and maybe not fair on the kids either.

I know there's no guarantee it will happen this month, but sod's law says it will happen when you least want it to!

Help me decide!!

Hi Lucy

I know what you mean, it IS hard work and life does sometimes get in the way, but its got to be done!

We have been 'trying' for approx 15 months, but only really actively trying for 5 - this will be 6th month. No DCS, although partner has. I can also hear my body clock ticking...I'm 37.

I've been using the CBFM for 5 months, although we did miss the peaks for a few months due to work crisis/family drama/illnesses.

This month I will be BBT charting, taking Pregnacare, cutting out caffeine and alcohol (I am quite partial to a glass or two of red wine) and I'm not telling DH when the peak days are.

For info I have a regular(ish) cycle of 27-29 days and according to CBFM my peak days were CD15/16, CD16/17, CD16/17, CD15/16, CD18/19. I got 5 highs before apart from this month when I got 6!

I think my luteal phase was short at 9-11 days so I've also been taking B6 vits which have pushed it up to 10-12 days.

I had HSG/bloods when I was 27 and all came back clear - was trying with a previous partner - but tbh we didnt really try and split up before consultant appt came through.

Thats all about me!!!

Oh and I really want to be a mummy

CanNeverDecide join us!

The more BFP's the better!

Good Luck xx

waves to eggs

Hello all, just poking my nose in as im not quite on cd1 just yet - its imminent though, i am hoping no later than Sunday (although last month i went two days over which has never happened before)

Hello I'd love to join you all. I'm on CD10, first cycle of Clomid (rarely OV without it. DS1 is a Clomid baby) so will prob be poas around 16-18 April, if I can wait that long... I tend to obsess and buy HPTs in bulk off Ebay! LOL. Have been taking supplements and trying to follow some of Zita West's diet tips for ttc and getting DH to do the same. Don't feel myself because of the extra hormones!

lucybarnes my cycle varies tremendously - pre children it was anything from 28-80 days but have only had 4 visits from AF in the past 2 years! :-) Am on 50mg (1 tablet) on CDs 2-6. They had to give me provera for 5 days in the first place to make me bleed, then I started the Clomid on CD2. Had a follicle tracking scan yesterday and she said this cycle may be longer than average judging by the size of the biggest follicle so I have another scan next Thurs (CD16) and she thinks I should OV shortly after that but will be BDing at least every other day from this weekend right through to the end of next week just in case. (DH won't know what's hit him!!)

I have had strange pulling pains which could possibly be OV pains. Definitely feel more hormonal than I remember feeling when I had Clomid before. Mood swings, breaking out in spots etc. Feeling less moody now than I did early in the cycle. Will all be worth it if I can get a BFP though! How many cycles of Clomid has your friend had so far? They've given me 6 'to start off with'! (Oh and I have 2 DS, 4 and 2)

Hi Rosie Lucy and twolittlemonkeys helloooooooooo

Rosie are you sure AF is imminent? I'm still keeping them crossed for you

Lucy I think you are supposed to ovulate 12-36 hours after the first peak (LH surge) but try to get some swimmers in there waiting as they can live for days, unlike our eggs which only last 6-24 hours.

I dont seem to have much luck with the opks but CBFM has peaked every month. I am BBT charting this month although got off to great start on CD1 - I forgot LOL.

twolittlemonkeys what dose of Clomid are you taking and on which days? I've ordered some books and trying to be good with vitamins (both me and DH).

I'm hoping my cycle goes back to peaks on CD15/16 this month as its been a long wait this time (only 2 days but felt like a lifetime)

crossed post sorry girls!

Yes eggs - three days of bfn's now Just wish AF would hurry up so i can get on with next cycle!

Rosie

any news??? still got my fingers crossed for you

Hello Eggs

Ok good news, AF arrived yesterday so am already on CD2 today, will get cracking with the opk's on CD12 and hopefully will get a nice smiley face so DH and and i can start SWI'ing like nobodies business for a good week or so (is DH's favourite week of the month lol .

Depending on when OVing happens i think i am looking at testing on 27/28th of April (that will leave it a good 12/13 dpo which should ensure a fairly accurate result either way.

Do not want a repeat performance of last month, i might have had loads of chemical pgs when trying for any one of my 4 DC's but as i hadnt ever tested that early i never knew so i wont be making that mistake again, i would rather just not know iyswim. DS was a different scenario as i was 4 days early for testing but i had sore boobs and super dooper strong BFP's on all the tests that i did, some things are just not meant to be and last month just wasnt.

Soooooo good luck to us all this month, i am really really hoping to see some BFP's on here - this has got to be a lucky month, its springtime after all!

hi Rosie Just checking in to see whats occurring! I've had a little break from MN to try and stop the obsessing although I've still had to POAS every morning for the CBFM. Currntly on my 3rd high day, so still waiting for peak! Hoping to catch both peak days this time as its holiday time, no work, so much more relaxed - fingers crossed! If I get peaks on CD16/17 like last month then 2ww starts from Monday - here we go again!!!!

I hope you're right, its a lucky month I can feel it!!!

Is anyone there?

The madness has started.... CD21 today 5dpo. I just keep thinking... this time next week I'll know one way or another if we were successful.... no symptoms other than sore boobs from the moment the egg popped out!

its that time again.... i can feel every twinge, everything. I think I can feel AF cramps now? Today is CD26 and CBFM has been flashing for 2 days.

Was feeling really positive as we covered all bases this month.

Will be devastated. Its been 6 months using CBFM now. I've looked at my own charts and realise that 4 of those we didnt BD enough around the peak time, but this month was textbook.

15 months TTC. WHY cant I get BFP??? WHY?

Hello eggs Just saw your post, You havent had a BFN yet so remember its not over till the fat lady sings. Whenever i am pg i always get AF type cramps in the run up to the time im due (and afterwards for that matter)

If its any consolation i covered all the bases this month too but am getting no af type pains which i got last month when i was pg so i have a feeling it didnt work this month either. Im only 6dpo so will be testing from this weekend - pretty sure it didnt work though.

Sorry its taking so long for you, I took quite a while to conceive DS and DD2 nearly a year, just hang in there ok - this month might just surprise you yet xx

Hi rosie,

i did a FR last night and it was a BFN . Thought I could feel slight cramps earlier too. Today I'm dpo10 (I think) so it looks like another baby fail month. It will be 16 months not using contraception, 7 months CBFM. I cant afford another month, its costing me a fortune.

Had 21 day bloods last month so just trying to arrange to see a different GP at my surgery to discuss my options. My GP was not very supportive and its stressful enough without having her snapping at me and telling me we should be having IVF but prob wont be eligible anyway!!!

sorry rant over....

I'm keeping everything crossed for you, let tme know how it goes

you should definately change your GP, if it was something as important as this and you feel you arent getting anywhere with who you currently see then thats just not good enough eggs. How come you wont be eligable for ivf? How much have they done in terms of investigations?

Do another test today, you are only 11 dpo today remember and you never know!

Today I have no cramps, nothing. TMI one tiny bit of red yesterday. Didnt dare do another test this morning either. I know its all over this month so why do I keep grasping those tiny slivers of hope???

Because we all do I think you might want to do another test - you never know - i never get spotting before a period so it depends if you usually do or not otherwise you might be able to think of yesterday as implantation. At this DPO last month i got my postive hpt (even though it was very early) and even though i promised myself that i wouldnt this month i did anyway this morning and nothing - im not surprised though because like i said i had loads of AF type cramps last month so i knew something was going on down there, nothing at all this month.

Ahhh god it seems so long till the next cycle and ive only been doing this for coming up 4 months now - god knows how you must be feeling eggs! Let me know if you do a test and how it comes out xx
