Trying for a Baby part 5....

Morning all, iansmum you are right about not being better thought of, but GCSEs looming....

claire you could be next...isn't it funny how the only thing that makes us glad to see AF is CBFM, maybe you won't need it anyway?

Ladies I've had 4 highs in a row and no peak yet, any thoughts?

Good morning

CD20 for me and another week to wait :mad:

I was thinking it would be interesting to see, out of the CBFM ladies who got a BFP, which of their peak days they dtd. I dtd on my second peak day, but now wish I did it on the first day. Hmmmmmmm.

Not that I am SS'ing or anything, but last night I was getting majorly dizzy whilst standing at church. It can't have been lack of food as I'd had my tea at 16:30. Oh dear, can someone wag at me pls

We've got a great shag rag. We've got this pillow, one of the memory foam ones but it's super high and super hard so neither DH or I can sleep on it (DH says its like sleeping on a rock!). Anyway, it's great for raising my bum up cos its so bloomin hard :rotfl:

Laura - I can't imagine an old dog party being much fun. They would all either be sleeping or refusing to share their toys with other dogs :rotfl:

Right, must get motivated - going to the park for a run with said doggie:)

Hugs and extra special sticky stuff to all x

Morning GFH

I had 3 highs then 2 peaks and then 1 high. What CD are you on? Didn't you start your highs quite early on. Maybe you are super fertile and have loads of high days

Make sure you rest today - and def no flying

Hello ladies, hope you don't mind me joining in, been reading some of your posts with interest as we are ttc (got that one) but I am struggling as I never know when i'm OVing. Not on the pill for a few years now and am 35. Whats the best thing to check when I'm Oving and what are CD, BFP and CBFM??

Any help would be very welcome

I had 2 low and 6 high days before my 2 peak days - the clever little machine didnt ask me to POAS on the high day after my 2nd peak which means that I still have a full 10 sticks for next month! I'm on CD17 today and back to low again so the long 2ww starts here...

Although I still laid on my shag rag (hee hee, remember that one) for 30 min with my legs in the air (you never know ) :rotfl:

:rotfl:Oh yes, I remember the shag rag! I have a small cushion that goes on the bed - one of those ones that looks pretty but has no practical purpose...or so I thought! Turns out its the perfect size and shape for keeping my bum up after DTD so thats what its used for now and in honour of the shag rag we named it...the shag pad!!

Hello becks and welcome to the thread

If you go the first page and the first post - at the end of the first post is a link to all the abbv used. But be warned, there are loads!!!!!

CD is cycle day. So the first day of your AF (Aunt Flo - period) is classed as CD1.

BFP is "Big Fat Positive" - when you do a pregnancy test and its positive

CBFM - is a "Clear Blue Fertility Monitor". A machine that will tell you when the best times to dtd (do the dance - have sex!)

Prob the best advice I can give is to keep track of your cycles. you can use OPKs (Ovulation Predictor Kits) which tell you when you ovulate. Its handy to sign up to a website like https://www.fertilityfriend.com which helps you track your cycles. In the meantime, try and BD (baby dance - have sex) every other day.

And of course - any questions - ask on here. There will always be someone who knows the answer.

Good luck

Hi Becks92, welcome to the mad house!
Quickly: CD is Cycle Day, BFP (what we all want) a Big Fat Positive and CBFM is Clear Blue Fertility Monitor - the must-have toy of 2010! )

There's a full list of all the codes at the start of the thread somewhere, so you can track back there and have a look.

We hope your stay here is a short but happy one.....x

Hoping I will be one of a whole bunch of May/June graduates!

I had 1 low day, 5 high days, and now on my second peak day. Expect it to go high or low tomorrow then the dreaded tww. I kept a note of all my 'symptoms' last month so hopefully that will stop me SSing so much this time round .

Hi and welcome Becks92:wave:
There are several ways of determining ov dates, like taking temperatures every morning, checking cm and using machines or sticks (OPKs ovulation predictor kits).

Take a pick:D

I chart temps and look at cm (don't touch them:o).

morning, sammy. CD9 and HIGH started CD6, so early, yes. Having said that I'm not really sure it was A/F as v.light - after m/c. OOps just done a HHC and feeling a bit wobbly so you were right about the flying!

Welcome and good luck. How long have you been ttc? Not for years?

thanks, so 6 Highs is not unheard of. Thats really good that it didn't waste your sticks, I figured it would be programmed to make you use as many as poss.

By the way... I know we want a baby of any variety, but if Y sperm are faster but don't live as long, I reackon if you DTD only on peak days for a boy and only on high days for a girl? What do you think??
