Trying For a Baby II

Hedgehog28

I know it is all off the topic, but it is good to hear I wasn't alone in this!!! Maybe all that stress still getting of the system sort to speak and that is why we are still TTC? Stupid I know, but the stress over those years (I took all 3 and 4th writing up, but I was working full time in the 4th) couldn't have done much good.

I think you're right about the whole stress and TTC thing...I got so stressed that I developed really bad joint pain (which miraculously disappeared when I finished my lab work and started my new job!) and it took a long time after I finished it all for me to be able think calmly about the previous four years!! I try and view it now that if I managed to get through that time, then I can cope with the ups and downs of TTC and m/c..well, I tell myself that anyway!

Thanks AnnieM that makes me feel lots better.:T My Leutal phase is normally 11 days.

Here's hoping we all get a nice extra Christmas pressie this year!

Hiya!

Got a positive on my OV stick today! :j To be honest, I knew it would be today as I got a mid-faint line yesterday, and ewcm this morning (I think that was the first time I have actually really properly identified it!).

Am going to grab OH and bd like there's no tomorrow later on! Again. And then tomorrow night. And the night after. And then have a well earned break on Sunday before bding again on Monday night. And then I better had be damn well pregnant!!! :rotfl:

How are the other SMEP-ers getting on?

Hi Annie,

Only very pale line on OV Stick so I'm still on every other day, tend to have 30 days cycle so probably still to early for me.

Hope everything continues going to plan for you.

I thought of trying SMEP this month and CD8 is tomorrow... Will see what it all brings.

On the bright side, we went to gym today - first time in this place and after a long time. It was good to do some exercise, but I have such a bad heartburn for the last few days, it was getting a bit tough at the end. I can't understand what is causing it!!!!!

:T It would be so cool if a few of us tried it and then got BFPs!

Im on CD8 as well but cycles can vary from 23 - 28days so could be ov now. Trying SMEP as well so good luck to all.
According to online ov estimator i could be oving from CD6 if on a 23d cycle.

Not to be raising your hopes too much, but how was your AF this month? My when my mum was pregnant with my little brother she had a period the first month. But she said it was lighter than usual. And my godmother had full AF every month of her pregnancy.

Although sometimes heartburn is just heartburn.

No, no hopes of being pg this month!!!! I am temping and my temperature is low (~36.3C) and I had CD25/26 spotting in last month, then a day nothing, then 3 days of full bleeding and 2 more days of spotting. While it was not the heaviest/most painful I had, it was plenty! (sorry, TMI)

Good luck to you too - and all of us as well!

I use www.mymonthlycycles.com to track my cycles. It reckons my average cycle length is 26 days, but they have been 25 like clockwork for a while now (apart from when I had the chem pg, and they were all over the place early in the year) so I'm waiting for the period calculator to catch up.

I was due to ov on Sat according to the ov calculator, but I figured I'd expect it a little earlier - I'm guessing the positive line on my OPK at 1pm today means I may ov in the early hours of tomorrow as the surge is a little before actual ov?

It's scary how well I know my body now - when I think I've reached my 30s and never really knew how it worked! I never even knew until recently that a late period is actually a late ovulation, and that stress can delay that, rather than delaying your period!
