Trying For a Baby III

becs

Wow a new thread! We must have done some serious talking on the other one!

Anyway I'm cd12 today and still have low on cbfm although I was extremely sad last night and did myself a little spreadsheet so I could try and see a pattern in anything of my random cycles! I discovered there is no pattern! Cycle length can be anything from 23 days to 31, ov can be anything from cd13 to cd22, lp is 10-12 days and number of highs on cbfm monitor is anything from 0 to 5! My god no wonder I rely on this thing so much!
Anyway TMI ALERT cd12 and low on cbfm but had MASSIVE amount of ewcm earlier today! I rarely have any at all and if I do it's barely noticeable but today I'm still shellshocked because I couldn't get over how much there was so hoping this means it'll be an extra fertile cycle for me this month!

Sounds positive Becs, good luck!!

Smartie & Bitzer - do your friends know you're ttc? Just thought that if they do know, maybe they're not involving you for fear of upsetting you??

Madmac - do I remember your OH start on some medication? Has it helped? Hope you're OK.

Kmckee - love that story, made me lol!:rotfl:

Clarity - my OH doesn't get too involved, he's the spontaneous type, doesn't want to be a sperm machine etc... Like confuzzled I grab him when I need to, he likes it when I take initiative!:D Though he probably realises that I ask for it more often at certain times!

I'm on CD24, not sure what to think of this cycle so not allowing my hopes to rise. However OH is taking his DDs to Alton Towers tomorrow and much as I would love to go I'm not "just in case".

Happy bding everyone!!:D:D

I spent most of last night in agony with throbbing boobs & have done an IC HPT today & got a very faint +ve, how reliable are IC?

Gena, yes he is now on Prozac - cannot say it is making a difference yet and we've had lots of tears, but I'm sure with time he'll improve, fingers crossed!

becs, I have been doing exactly that on a spreadsheet for nearly 3 years now! At first I was amazed at how much my cycle (and OV) changed each month, but this far on, I see a pattern over the year which is weird - but my body certainly does different things depending on the time of year! Spooky, but doesn't bother me any more, x

_clarity, I think I would get on well with your brother, he has my sort of humour, so there's hope for him yet... :rotfl::rotfl:

Becs, that sounds a bit like mine this month. I only generally get a little bit over the space of a week, but last night it looked like I'd cracked an egg down there, without the yolk:rotfl:

I think I got a positive on my OPK, so I'm ov'ing earlier than I thought.....obv OH took advantage of the situation:p;):rotfl:

I'm a little confused at the mo. I applied for a volunteering role at the local hospital and I got the forms through today. They've asked for two references and I can't think of anyone who I can put down that I've known for more than 2 years that aren't relatives!:eek:

Ha! Found you

Now what's that about? I finally get the courage to introduce myself to you lot, and then you all move house the next day? I know I'm still catching on to all your names and stories...but I'm not that bad am I

I went back to my old borough today to take DS to his old playgroup...he loved it, except that it took the bus 2hours to get there (the train back was only 20 minutes:rolleyes:).

We bumped into our closest friend when we were in the co-op...she had her second bub in april after 5 m/c's. I hadn't told her we were coming as I know she's been tired, so we ended up at hers.
I spent the whole day full of heartburn and burping and yawning. I am SO tired tonight, DF is in the shower with DS and then I think I might try to get to bed early. I really don't kow what is up.

I'm another one of those lucky ones whos OH is "on board" (although he does giggle each time I say it because "they dont want to know THAT much")

Someone gave me a CBFM with two months sticks but we haven't started using it. First after the m/c I just didn't have a visit for 60 days, and then when she did arrive we were moving house so we decided to hang on until AF end of July. Then I spotted EWCM on the off chance and we decided to gfive it a go...just for the fun of it...And now we wait:)

ETA: Madmac how long has your OH been on prozac? reason I'm asking is because I'm on fluoxitine (a member of the prozac family), I started prozac when DS was born...but it took a year to find the member of the family that looked after me best.
I still have a few rollercoaster days but they are few and far between. What I'm trying to say is in the beginning its really hard (and Im sure it was harder for my DF to deal with me than it was for me to deal with me)...but it does get better. And if you need a sounding board I'd be happy to share some of my experiences with you.

MadMac_2

Natalie, still sounding good to me - how about leaving it a day or so now and testing early morning (first wee) - then giving us a big smile for the rest of the day!!

Polkadot, you have obviously put all your energy to good use, lucky you! :rotfl:

becs

Nunnygirl I'm right with you on the ewcm although I'd go so far as to say 3 eggs! It was unbelieveable! How sad are we talking about and even worse getting excited about something so revolting! :rotfl:
My dh is onboard too much more so now after giving myself a good talking to a few months ago. That came about from a session on ov day with no spontanaety (sp?) , dh under pressure to perform and not managing and me sulking! We both ended up in tears and talking about it and I said then I knew I had to make more effort and take the pressure off! We then went off to have a great bd'ing session and haven't looked back since!:j

I won't be telling my OH all the ins and outa of TTC - he's very sensitive and I think the pressure would stress him out too much!!

I'm just going to make sure I grab him at the right times lol

sorry, but what is 'IC'?:o
