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

    Skip ov???? This is no time to skip egg production!!!!

    Oh my goodness come on ovaries!!

    At least it avoids the issue of birthday duplication I guess.

    Ha ha, this tickled me! "Oh my goodness come on ovaries" could be the battle cry of weary ladies TTC everywhere!! (I mean the ladies are everywhere not the same ladies DTD everywhere!) :D

    Have you had any signs of ov yet? Its probably just coming late this month, its quite normal to have a longer month thrown into the mix every now and again. Its just another way that our bodies like to tease us! Are you using cbfm? Any chance you might have ov'd and missed it?

    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

    Hi Perdi

    I've spent a weekend with friends babies too and I love playing with them and holding them - I used to feel really uncomfortable with children but I adore them all now (well, most of them)! It doesn't help that the friends DH looks over, winks at me and say "suits you - when are you going to have kids?" in front of everyone...if only it was that easy! I think my friends must all be super fertile. :(

    I know Murray, I'd feel even more crap if it wasn't for this place as it just seems to happen really quickly to everyone around me.

    I'm sooo more comfortable with babies than I used to be, it helps reassure me that I'm ready.

    Come on ovaries! :rotfl:

    Well it is nice to be bringing smiles to people's faces ;)

    Perdi, I think a lot of the time people don't say that they are trying, so it appears that they have managed it instantly when actually they have been trying for x months. I would never say publicly as then there is a constant expectation to live up to and it's just more pressure.

    Murray - no cbfm, but I have used the LH test sticks daily, sometimes twice daily, since CD5 (now CD17) and nothing. I though maybe the sticks were dodgy but it was part of the same batch that I used successfully (meaning I saw the line) in Feb and April, and also when I 'should' have been oving then I also tried a different brand and nothing there either.

    Humph.

    Hey everyone :)

    Wedding in a few days! :eek:

    Well i dont think i OV'd, the next few opks i did after the dark one were lighter. And now they are all negative.

    Some people on BnB say i might of had a quick surge and missed it.

    Anyway, i've devised this plan to bring back AF as she wont come and its been 12 weeks!

    Im going to speak to my GP first to see what he thinks, but im going to take soy isoflavones to bring on Ovulation so then AF will return 14 days later.
    Then i can buy a CBFM (because they are cool and i want one!) and use it properly :D

    Found out my best friend is pregnant, she has a mmc a few months ago and is now 10 weeks. I knew she would be. I had this feeling that she was going to tell me she's pregnant.
    We got onto TTC news and she said "Well im already pregnant" :D

    She lost the last bean at 10 weeks and is 10 weeks now, so i really feel for her as i lost my bean at 7 weeks and when i got to 7 weeks i crapped myself.

    We have been ttc for 2 months now, time really goes past when you have no AF and a small child! :eek:

    Well, I've popped my first vitamin B tablet today. DH already has it in his multivitamins so he's sorted.

    CD23 for me, CBFM has asked me to POAS and recorded low so that's me done til CD12 or so next month. If I stick to my normal wait of 9 days (which may extend up who knows?) I should be coming on approx 8th June. I hope I do get caught as I've a dentist appointment on 11th June for a crown so would save £200+! always a PG bonus. If not then sod it, I'll have rid of my ugly temporary one and get a shiny white one. So, for once, but don't quote me for future, I will test next Tuesday 8th June if no signs of AF spotting. Will also use the CB one as it does 1-2 weeks and with a short luteal phase I'm sure it's better than an IC.

    So for me...CBFM

    CD9-13 - Low
    CD14 - High DTD
    CD15 - High
    CD16 - High
    CD17 - High
    CD18 - High DTD
    CD19 - High
    CD20 - Peak DTD
    CD21 - Peak
    CD22 - High
    CD23 - Low

    Have given up on DTD ...well, still smarting from losing my non-dirty weekend away. Off shopping for holiday clothes and timing-wise, my med cruise would be next peak time slap bang in the middle - woo hoo! No excuses then :)
