    Congratulations on your BFP Daleigha! :T

    I'll help fill out the testing list a bit, could you put me down for the 26th please GTS? Thank you :)

    Not much BD action this weekend for me because DH hasn't been feeling well but hopefully we didnt miss ov (fingers crossed!). I think we'll try a bit of fun BD during the 2ww just to make sure we've got all the options covered! I still havent managed to pinpoint ov because my IC's dont seem to work and TBH I struggle to test at the right times & regularly! That might be why they dont work ;)

    I hope today doesn't drag...I'm not really in to Monday's at work :( Better crack on though!

    Morning all..flying visit from me as I am getting ready for the next 2 days at work.

    I think I'm out for this month as did another test this morning and got another BFN. Not a great start to the week, and I know I'm naughty testing before AF due, but hey ho.

    So a 2011 bub for us hopefully.

    CD27 for me today so AF due tomorrow or Weds. No PMT signs as yet but have been getting a bit of spotting so imagine floodgates to open soon..typical it comes when I'm away and having to entertain clients :mad:

    Good luck to those testing soon, and sticky dust to all.

    Tinks I am so glad you are feeling better. I don't know if I will explain myself properly when I say your postings have been getting more positive over the past few days - I trully hope that does mean that you are healing, mentally as well as physically (although I know it will take a lot longer for the mental scars to heal). Take care x

    Thank you so much for saying that you made me cry (in a good way) :A

    Thanks Tinks..but I think I'm out.

    Feeling a bit rubbish today..the Spring PMA didnt last long did it!

    A BFN first thing on a Monday morning isn't a terrific start to the week..coupled with having to struggle on the trains with my suitcase, being away from home for 2 days when I'm feeling most c*ap, and the inevitable office mass-conversation this morning about everyone's babies, kids, kids tv songs (accompanied by singing) etc etc..hasn't set me up for the week.

    I actually feel really tearful again..probably a mix of AF and just general hopelessness.

    I'll post again when I'm feeling happier and less likely to bring everyone else down.

    @Daleigha :j Congratulations :j

    CD11. Last night we BD'd and it was great. For the first time I was starting to relax and enjoy it :) I'm actually looking forward to more BDing tonight :D Last night we used Preseed and plan to for the rest of this week. Fingers crossed it helps.

    @Fantafan, given your temp is up, it sounds like you ov'd. We're all so very different it's hard to know what's normal for a period. 19 days does sound short though. I keep getting told that stress can ruin a cycle, have you had a stressful month?
    Ps. I was talking to my sister who is in the NHS and she said for me not to stress about DTD loads. It was better once (I said not twice??) a week so that quality sperm exist rather than loads of "dead-beat" lazy ones. (Not sure that was the terminology she used but you know where I'm coming from).
    Hmmm, I know you shouldn't believe all on the internet but I've read much to suggest the opposite. Once a week will surely reduce your chances, because if the sperm only survives for 5 days max, then you could miss the egg.

    Here's some info here:

    I'm really pleased it's getting easier for you! :D I remember the first time that I could relax and enjoy it - it felt like a huge breakthrough! Here's to lots more relaxed and enjoyable BD'ing in future! :beer:
