    Having looked at your chart, your LP seems to be about 9/10 days.
    A short side. Have you considered taking Vitamin B6?

    I hadn't but will now. Am now paranoid if I have been lucky enough to catch this month I'll lose it. Oh well, naff all I can do for this month but will give this a go.
    Bits of this describe me to a tee...cold feet, pees a lot but other than that - I am always horny so that's wrong.

    Am I broken?

    Hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome and wishes :).

    Not much to report here, I know we haven't DTD at the right time this month so AF is inevitable sometime from Friday. OH is a bit concerned re CBFM but is starting to ask more questions. I know he won't be too concerned re any demands put on him once CBFM shows the right time;). I think some of it is realism with him, said I'm doing it more for my sake for peace of mind rather than worried about his part in all this...does that make sense? At least he is showing more interest now rather than just joking (in a nice way!) about it.

    He is just concerned about DTD as much as can this week before AF at moment:cool:. So it was a bonk holiday morning!!

    I'm not that bothered re my age, but know others will be, I'm not telling anyone at the moment, especially my mother...she'll have a million and one reasons why I shouldn't have a baby...despite fact financially ok, own home, decent jobs etc.

    Re CBFM - know I'll need more sticks, seen them £11.24 on ebay, is that a decent price?

    Thanks and good luck to all you lovely ladies xxx

    Hi everyone,

    Fantafan that is such a shame... I know sometimes my OH just can't/won't get into something and bails out, and there isn't any point in forcing him to stay, however he does make it up to me in his own way once he's not got the hump any more. I really felt for you when I read your post.

    Sexki11ten I know that feeling so well (I know I've only been on here 5 minutes but I've been trying 6 months). But I got pg in the second month the first time round, and here I am still un-pg after 6 months... you just never know how things will go.

    I am on CD 16 and apparently I have not begun to ovulate. Presumably I am not on my 24 day cycles any more, I am even cutting it a bit fine to be back on my 30/31. I will wait and see when AF arrives, if no OV before AF does that warrant a visit to the GP?

    Today has been nice, except I was looking out of a shop window into a car park and saw my 8 month pg friend (who I have not seen since mc 2 months ago) driving her car towards me (before the road curved away lol). My heart jumped into my mouth and I hid. It sounds ridiculous doesn't it but there is no way I could have faced her. Even though she mc'd her first pg.

    OH saw her in a shop though, he said to me "I saw X's mum, she's about to pop isn't she!", I said "yes", he looked at me and said no more about it. I always think I cover myself quite well but I guess there is a level of pain that you cannot hide and I had reached it.

    Sweet dreams

    Away on holiday at the mo, but just flicking through the thread (like MV I'm still lurking to see how you ladies are doing).

    Congrats to the new BFPs. To those wondering what their CBFM's are telling them, have faith and let them guide you. We wouldn't have caught otherwise as I ov'ed on day 9. Happy peaking to you all!

    Sorry sexki11en for having a painful weekend & BFN. Keep up PMA though, you were still too early to test:)

    fantafan, I'm no doctor, so don't read too much into anything you Google or read on forums:p

    waterbaby, it is normal to skip ov once in a while so don't worry:o

    How are you Make-it-3:wave:
    Ov at CD9. When did you think you normally ov'd?

    I'm on CD7, but since OH is away, used yesterday's stick. Worked fine. Gave me low.
    Will do that again tomorrow (Wed), but will use new one on Thu & Fri (OH back on Friday).

    Hi girls

    Forgive me, I haven't read the last 5-6 pages or so as I'm just back from a weekend away.

    I'm on CD4 - yep, AF got me the day I went away :( It's fine though; first month of trying and now feeling positive for this month. DH was disappointed too, and we've discussed a "plan of action". From CD7-CD16, we're going to BD every other day this month (just BDed maybe 3 times around guestimated OV time last month). We don't want to start getting too technical at the moment with temping and CBFMs, but it is nice to know they are there to help us if we need them later on in the year.

    I'm going to try to be more aware of my body this month with the EWCM etc and watching out for OV twinges. If I have more of a rough idea when I OV I can then work out my LH phase and be more certain of exactly when I am late - last 4 cycles have been 27 25 27 28 so they are reasonably regular anyway.

    Sorry if I'm missing any big news - I did scan through and didn't spot any more BFPs but a few AFs I think - hugs to those who got AFs. Hello to any newbies. No doubt I'll catch up more now that I am back.

    :)

    Hiya Ladies
    How is everyone today?
    I had a nice weekend not doing very much. Had lots of friends over for a birthday meal and got to cuddle BF's baby for ages. I was more wistful than depressed this time, but it felt very right holding her
    this month this month this month

    The chart says I'm due to OV on Thursday so we're booked in Th/Fri, but also tonight as I'm not sure. I was very 'wet' yesterday and it was particularly um intense :o I have no idea if that means anything!
