    I'd like to join too please. OH and I decided a few weeks ago to start trying for a little one so I don't expect anything for a few months yet - trying to be practical but in reality I want it to happen now LOL.

    I worked out my fertile days based last AF date and body changes and we managed to do 'it' around then (OH works away a lot so its difficult). AF due today. I have cramps so it may be here. But then trying to convince myself it's implantation as it is exactly 14 days after my fertile date - I think I have been reading too many websites and just believing the ones I want to LOL.

    Best wishes to everyone here, lets hope there are lots og 'gratuates' this month.

    i could do with some sleep as well, had a shocking night, spent about 3 hours rolling in agony, obviously whilst trying not to wake up OH.

    been for my blood tests today, so i'm 4 pts lighter. Well ok it's was vials not pints but as i'd got it in my head it was just going to be two i was a little surprised. Just got to wait for a scan date now.
  • MV it is interesting but like you said just luck really.

    I didnt really do anything different this month to the last 12 but wanted the CBFM to steer my mind away from thinking theres something wrong with me :cool:

    Well this cycle i'll hopefuly be on my hols from CD7 to CD 14 and planning on hitting every day :D :rotfl: Poor DH wont know what has hit him but he has been warned! :p Best undies and lolita attitude are packed :D :rotfl: (i hope thats the right name)

    Praying that the extra bding and the relaxation works this month.

    Got some home made cold corned beef pie for lunch yummy yummy :)

    Sticky stuff to all xxxx

    Hello :)

    Well, to join in, my first cycle of CBFM activity has been as follows:

    CD10 - High - DTD
    CD11 - High
    CD12 - High - DTD
    CD13 - Peak
    CD14 - Peak - DTD (hopefully :) )

    CD14 today. I was hoping for some bd last night on my first peak day, but DH came back from the pub a bit later than expected and had a kebab on the way home, so wasn't particularly appealing when he came in :rotfl:

    So I thought I would stick to my guns with bd'ing every other day (even though I keep changing my mind!). So I'm due a BD around 4pm this afternoon :D

    I think for me, the first peak day was my ov day as I had slight but definite cramping, and I haven't really felt that much today. So it may be that I've missed the boat - but we'll have to wait and see!!

    On that note, GTS - please can you add me to the testing list for 21 May please?

    Hugs and sticky baby dust to all x

    Ps - Iainsmum - I can't work out for the life of me what has been censored in that word!!!

    Well it will definitely be interesting to see how we all get on this month, and can maybe gage from that what seems to work/not work.

    GTS were the days the CBFM gave you much different to what you would have counted as your most fertile days anyway?

    I found that the monitor gave me peaks slightly earlier than I would have expected, so maybe I was missing my ov days a bit before.

    Gah CD25 today, so AF due in the next 3 days.

    I have to admit that I pee'd on an ov strip last night :o Naughty I know but:

    a. I needed to POAS and at least I didnt waste the preg test I have burning a hole in my bathroom cabinet, plus I have a whole load of the cheapy ov strips under my bed.

    and..

    b. I read somewhere that ov strips can give you an indication of preg, although more people than not say this is bobbins and they cant..so I had nothing to lose really IYSWIM.

    Conclusion: nothing happened so that was me told!

    MV - ooooh, you are naughty. That is more a hand slapping offence rather than finger wagging. But there's no hand slapping smilie on her so have a wagging finger instead :naughty::D

    I'm so excited for you - hoping you get a nice May BFP :T

    Right, I must go to the Job Centre now. All fun and games here :D
