    Thank god it's Friday!!

    Ah you all sound like you had a hard week, not much to report here but still feeling very disheartened.
    Our cousin has just announced her pregnancy, she's 16 and still at school :eek: well I have had enough now so really thinking about stopping ttc but other half won't have it:o I feel like gizmodo, putting my life on hold and constantly thinking about the future. I actually plan things around might being pregnant which is nuts I know.
    My friend wants to go raving for her birthday in August (I've never been!!) but I don't want to confirm in case I'm pregnant or trying to plan my wedding which I'd like for next summer but again what if I'm pregnant or recently had a baby then have the hassle to trying to get into pre preg clothes etc etc
    Argghhhh......ok that's my rant over - I'm going to pick at wallpaper and try to get the oh to decorate (if I make a big enough mess then he will have to;))

    i'm beginning to think i should give up and i've barely even started. I guess i've obviously OV'd and yet my period has only just stopped, how can this be? maybe it's just the fact i have had a cold/bad sinuses but sometimes i feel that actually trying to get to DTD at the right time of the month will never happen. Sorry for the bad attitude, think it's cos i couldn't pay off a loan today which i'd built myself up about and it disappointed me. think i'll leave you in peace and not inflict my 'downer' on everyone.
    Hope you have fab weekends

    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?

    Right ladies. It's the weekend. Most of us don't have to work. We have other halves and are not singletons....we have a lot to smile about.

    Yes, we're not preggers yet but hey, it just means a change of MSE and really as much as we'd all like to leave the BFN club, deep down in our hearts we know we will miss each other.

    Hang in there. Don't despair. I'm opting for the bonk every 3/4 days or twice a week. Live a little, live a lot and live for the weekends.

    Stay happy and if you're not, be happier - focus on what we have and the what we want we follow when we're more relaxed and non-challont. :)

    Im happy because
    - I have an oh who loves me (okay i dont see him no where near as much as I would like to but i love him and he loves me so its all good)
    - Im not actively trying to prevent pregnancy - this is a good thing because I have someone I want to commit to and make a new life with
    - I have a job therefore I have an income
    - I have a regular AF (ok this doesnt make me happy but at least im going with the happy factor because I know on a very basic level this means as gutting as it is to get my AF every month there logically will be a month it doesnt arrive (Idont want this to offend anyone so will remove it if it does)
    - I have lovely friends and family around me - ok not aware of not trying to prevent but i know they are there
    and finally I am alive and breathing - i have a home - i have food and clean water- i have clothes - i have the ability to wash my clothes and buy new ones.

    im going for the bonking whenever we see each other approach - although this week oh was slightly more up for it than me lol - which brings me to the question
    would you dtd if you knew your/his parents where in the next room??


    Edit -It actually really felt good to type out the reasons im happy and might have to copy this post into word so I can refer back to it when af arrives or i have a bad day

    just on my way to bed, phunkles, but had to answer your question....YES!

    Of course, we do it regardless, we just TRY and keep quiet when we're DTD in someone elses house (even parents), it makes it more fun....

    Night night all....xxxx
    It doesn't hurt to be optimistic....you can always cry later. :cry:

    You don't get if you don't ask!

    I had the exact same thing happen to me last cycle, noone had any ideas, but it turned out that I must have ov'd during the second EWCM (CD22ish for me) as AF came a week late. I would BD again if it were me just in case :)

    @phunkles, we've not BD'd yet with anyone else in the house. I'd like to think we would give it a go! But if it were at my parents I would be so paranoid that they'd walk in (even though they wouldn't).

    It happens all the time for me. You'll find out which was the ov by charting temp:cool: Also, ewcm has happened while my temp was up too. I don't think I ov'd in that case, as AF came few days later;)

    This is my chart so far. Do you think temping is most reliable for finding out when and if you've ov'd?
