Trying for a Baby part 5....

sleepytiger

Hello and welcome its a richmansworld. Not sure if there is a concrete average. Some people fall quickly. Others take a little longer. and some (like me) will still be here long after everyone has graduated. Hope you dont stay too long (in a good way obviously).

Alright stef? Was wondering how you were doing with the clomid.

AF cramps so...bring on the witch.

can i have people's honest opinion about whether it's worth trying out the clearblue fertility monitor?
has anyone found this helpful?

Thanks, as you can tell i'm grasping at straws or should i say test strips lol
Can't decide if Af has actually arrived, tmi alert.... there's not enough for a pad but you can tell it's there when you wipe. sorry but i'm not used to all this stuff and don't know who else to ask.

happy easter all, enjoy your easter eggs and chocolate bunnies

Thanks sleepytiger. I hope we don't wait to long I'm 29 dh is 31 and my biological clock kicked in big time I my iud removed 2 months ago and was not talking about trying for another year but seems it'll never be 100% the right time so decided we want a family why wait I could be trying next year and still be waiting another year ttc. Fingers crosses for everyone I'm going to try not get stressed about trying and just enjoy me and hubbu for a wee while longer before the babies come

Hi Lemon Tree,

I use one of these. Found it really good for pinpointing ov as I have slightly loger cycles so ov on cd 18-19. Got pregnant the first month but unfortunately had a miscarriage so using it again now. Should know in next few days if it's worked at first attempt again.

Hope that helps.

Lemontree - now mine is clocking when I am Oving, it is really useful. I was researching them some more on Amazon yesterday and the reviews so have a read (currently they're £64.56). I would say that the review about being neurotic was spot on though. DH says I'm obsessed but it's hard not to be when the person you are with has who you dreamed having kids with since you were 18 - 5 years ago!

I would also say my periods were/are erratic and I don't know how people get pg if they don't do it a lot then try around OV without testing...my high was CD20 this month...it's CD22 and I am about to come on....go figure that for 1/2 way through a cycle....not for everyone it isn't.

If I was you I'd give it a shot...being one of the people who has one, plus temping..it's got to be the best way if you can keep your cool when it's that time.

Hope that helps.

Morning all, Hope you are having a good bank hol and extended weekend

Welcome to Chakani and Itsarichmansworld (mmm what to shorten your username too? :think:) Hope you are both not here to long in the nicest poss way!

Primmer - keeping my fingers crossed for you! and hoping you get a BFP tom

Lemon Tree - I'm also thinking of investing in a CBFM and thank you Winnie for your reply :T. Think i'll have a look around at best prices :money: Oh and Fantafan for yours (just missed it)

As for me, well not AF but have had cramps ALL weekend and pink/red CM so assuming that her arrival is soon. Wish she would just show up though now so I can get over it and move on

Will be cycle 12 for me - so really starting to clutch at straws but diving into charting now just in case I do need to have it all investigated

In work today but not alot happening and at least i'll get the two May bank hols off.

Hope you all have fab things planned for today!

Sticky baby dust to all xxxxx

Morning all.

CD22 today and woke up with the irrational urge urge to POAS :rotfl:

Didnt do it..my shortest cycles recently have been 26 days, so in theory could have used a FR early test, but going to do the right thing for a change and not waste £8 odd quid

Going to try and get ourselves to the gym today. Went on Saturday to cancel my membership, and then had a massive flood of guilt so didnt. We are going to get in there today if it kills me...and it probably will as I havent been since last September

Primmer

GTS - hope your day at work goes quickly. Been getting tummy cramps this morning so AF may be on it's way which is crappy!

MV - good luck at the gym, well done you. After the gym you can have an Easter egg guilt free x

Lemon_Tree

thanks for the info about the CBFM, think i'll invest in one. Anyone got an opinion on whether it's worth getting one of the ones on eb0y at the moment.
