heya

sorry for ur loss busymum and delilahbelle

af has finally gone so goin 2 get swi later wen dh coms home from work.

busymum people think we r nuts for having another baby aswell! is there a limit before people think uve lost the plot

hiya ttcnofour
The thing is only you know yourself how many you want, its weird as i thought i had finished at 4 and felt complete, but after losing #5 i feel there is someone missing from my family. Everyone has said they know we can cope with 5DC but think we are mental lol!!!

Surely after a certain point, one more DC doesn't make any difference? For example, 17 children or 18 children - no difference really.

I am ttc #5 as well I was done after 3 and there is an 11 year age gap between my youngest dd and my ds (16 months) but when i met my DH we felt that we needed to add to my already existent family, now weve had him we think it will be nice for him to have a sibling near to him in age (thats if i ever concieve!) although i am 39 in Jan so i feel it is getting a bit late in the game.

Hi just off the feb bus.. and feeling well gutted Totally thought I was pg, and did a ridiculous number of tests

Can I join in here?

I had a very annoying chat with MIL this morning...on mon she was full of sympathy "oh u can try again...blah blah blah" 4 days on i told her we were planning to have #5 by next year now im getting the "you should wait a bit longer, now its your choice don't rush into it blah blah blah" im so getting the feeling she thinks we will change our minds...why do people feel they have a say in what we do with our lives we are both in our early 30s and both working what is her problem!!!!!

sorry needed to rant lol x

I'm having a funny start to the month - my temperature chart is all over the place. It's usually very low at this stage, but pretty steady. It's been zigzagging like crazy, and took ages to come down from last month's high point. Does any one know enough about temping to understand that?

Hi All

I'm still pretty new to the whole ttc thing, as in ttc in earnest.
So far I have started taking santogen mum-to-be a week or so ago, and this morning broached the subject with my OH of him taking some vits/zince - he is seriously anti-taking any vitamins or anything, but seeing as he was talking about how lovely it would be for dd1 to have a brother or sister I thought it was a good time to put in my request ;-)

So my questions are:

1. What is recommended for guys in terms of supplements? I think there are standard 'dad to be' versions out now, right?
2. How do Ov prediction kits work - not sure I can do the temp thing right now as it sounds like a lot of work, but I have a fair idea when I ov so a little more precision might help.
3. Are there any other tips? (Other than to actually SWI, which is kind of key!)

Good luck to everyone this month.

bzzbee Ov sticks - I get mine in bulk off ebay (they're called one-step), and they do the job fine for me. Boots do more expensive versions, but I've never used them so I can't comment on them. You pee on them once a day (not first thing) and they show up the level of LH in your wee (LH is the hormone which triggers ovulation). On the one-step ones, there's always a faint 2nd line, but you're waiting for the 2nd line to be as dark at the test line. That means your LH has peaked and you're about to ovulate. I ususally get 2 or 3 days of 2 dark lines, and my ovualtion happens the day after (confirmed by temping). It's a good way to know when to SWI like rabbits! But I know they don't seem to work for everyone. The one's I use are cheap though, so worth a go?

dark as the test line...

I seemed to have straggled along the line, so thought I'd do today's stats and tidy us up!

Any news from anyone? Since I don't actually think I'm ov'ing due to PCOS, I'm JS and seeing where it goes! Actually quite fun without the pressure

Hi all, just been kicked off the February bus by af's arrival today, nice to see some familiar faces on the bus, hopefully this is a very fruitful one for many of us!

I am really p*$$"d off to see af; like everyone else, I really thought I could have nailed it this time, but on the plus side I am really chuffed that my cycle has shortened by 23 days from the last cycle. Just started temping this cycle, and even though I have PCOS my temps seemed to correlate with what they should be doing at certain points of my cycle (temping doesn't work sometimes if you have PCOS).

Anyhow, I'm feeling positive about this cycle now, so here goes for Sat's stats with me on the end...

Happy Saturday night I'm relaxing with a huge glass of red wine looking forward to a few days in the sunshine!

Welcome Rubberduckies. Glad to hear that your cycle settling down. ... posted a question to you on Feb bus, so pleased to see you here! You've answered me about temping - is this how you know you ov'd?

Well done on the glass of red - I've already done that and am on my second! Bring on the sunshine for bank holiday w/e.

Hiya Miffles, am just about to get a refill on the red, the first went down very well

I just read your question on the Feb bus thread but thought I'd answer it here. I've heard from a couple of different posters on here and elsewhere on the net that temping does not work for women with PCOS, but I decided to have a look on fertility friend anyway just to see what it was all about (it's somewhere you can record fertility observations and it will tell you when you probably ovulated by comparing your stats and signs to other charters).

I decided to give it a go because there were loads of people on there charting who have PCOS / are on Metformin, so it must work for some.

So, have you been diagnosed with PCOS?
