    Hi all,

    Its my first proper month of TTC at the right times and what not. I think we BD'd a little too late last month as wasn't keeping track of things.

    I'm currently on CD9 of 28 day cycle. According to FF I'm due to OV on 24th with the 3 days before being Fertile days. When should I start taking OV tests and when should we start BDing? I want to make sure we cover the time frame well as haven't been keeping track of periods for long, just incase my cycle changes.

    Congratulations to Sarah Joanne! Good luck to everybody else!

    Hi musogirl,
    I think with a 28 day cycle, you maybe start testing around day 10. So start 2mrw :D

    When me and OH first started we kept BD'ing to late as i wasn't to sure of my cycles, but the first month we used Ov sticks i got a bfp.

    So good luck!

    :D x
    Good luck for this month!

    Thanks EA! Will start testing tomorrow then.

    Determined to give it a good go this month a) because really want BFP b) because AF is due whilst on holiday and BFP could stop that!

    Hate having AF on holiday - especially when its 1st proper holiday in ages!

    Hey EA

    Yeah I quit 11 days ago now :)

    Its going ok thank you, I thought I was doing fabulous the first 10 days, I got my carbon monoxide level down from 15 to 1

    Then I was at my weekly quit smoking session and told the nurses of my ttc and they took my patches off me :(

    LOL they werent horrible or anything, they just said I really shouldnt be wearing patches when I am TTC but if I felt the real urge to have a cigarette to stick a patch on if I am really struggling.

    I have got an inhalor as well, you know those nicotine ones? and so far I have only had to puff on it once

    So fingers crossed it is all going well

    I feel really determined, cos I really dont want to be smoking while pregnant.

    Oh wow, thats really good of you :)

    Cant belive they took your patches though! lol. You can still buy them though, teehee :D

    Do you think you'll start smoking again once you've had a baby, or are you looking to stop for life?

    Haha, well i do have layers, and when its all done with gel it looks choppy and nice, but its not so extreme for work lol.

    I once bleached my hair when i was younger and some of it fell out :eek:
    So i had to leave it to grow a bit and then get it cut short :(

    x x

    I had my hair bleached about 7 years ago (god that seems a long time ago!) and I LOVED it, even though when my mum did it the first time it went orange and I had to walk into town with my baseball cap on so no-one would see my tango hair!!:eek:

    My hair's currently about shoulder length and choppy and I'm constantly getting comments from the hairdressers about how thick it is when it comes to drying it

    Anyone read about the girl that "fell asleep" when she had a tattoo done? And she's suing the guy now?

    I have many tattoo's, and although they didn't hurt me, i knew that i had a needle dragging ink through my skin... lol.

    x x

    LOVE my tattoos, but I am generally too excited about getting them to sleep through. The one I have on my shoulder, I was told I was nearly asleep while he was doing that one, but I had just eaten a massive chinese and I was in a nice warm tattooist!:rotfl: OH reminded me today that he "owes" me 2 tattoos, just got to work out what I want!!:T:T
