    Hi Iainsmum, puppy is lovely but growing up so much, he has calmed down a little but is going through a stage of climbing on your head and licking you hair and ears which is mad and he is heavy! How you doing?

    Hi, Primmer, we're fine, thanks for asking. DS is driving me a little bit madder day by day, DH a lot madder hour by hour - ho hum! :)

    DS has already asked for a dog, because next door has one, and DH is softening to the idea, but much as I would love another dog, we aren't in the position to have one yet. DH works away a lot in the summer and I would have to look after it, and tbh it's hard enough looking after DS by myself without a dog too. Have said perhaps in a couple of years.:)

    Going to see what soup is on offer today.....brb.
    It doesn't hurt to be optimistic....you can always cry later. :cry:

    You don't get if you don't ask!

    Hiya. I'm posting under a username as I don't want some people knowing that i'm actively TTC'ing until the time is right for any announcements.

    I've been lurking for quite a while and hoped i'd be able to join in.

    Basically we've just decided to TTC a few months ago. I'd come off the injection and we decided we'd see how nature was going to take it's course rather than get technical about it all. At least to start off with anyhow. I figured i'd just keep an eye on dates and try to figure out my body clock which appears to be ticking every single day.

    I have 2 children already from previous relationships and my OH has one from a previous relationship too. We'd like one together and that will be the last as it sometimes feels like we're running the house of the Waltons!

    Anyhow... i've been continuing on a 27/28 day cycle for a few months then all of a sudden this month (AF was due 14th) and i've started today. Not heavy and i'll obviously watch the flow but it's thrown me all out of sync. Now Fertility friend reckons my fertility times are 11th - 14th. But if this AF then I could still be on AF when this says i'm fertile. How is that even possible??? Now apparently i'm due to ovulate on the day I was originally expecting AF. I'm totally confused. No stress, just happily bumbling along and now i'm just worried that something could be wrong. Can anyone help? Also - i've had no symptoms at all to give me an expectation that AF is due. Normally I get the whole shebang. This time? Nothing. De nada. Not even an opportunity at snapping at the hubby and having to apologise for the gazillionth time!

    Hello Girls,

    I was just passing by and I just wanted to say ......................

    DONT GIVE UP HOPE!!

    Me and DH were trying for a baby for 4 years 6 months, im now sat with my 4 week old baby beside me :)

    We conceived him naturally, doing nothing other than chilling out about the whole thing. We had just been to the dr who confirmed that our first round of IUI would start the following month and that as soon as AF arrived i had to contact them to arrange appts ....................AF never arrived.

    It was a long, hard stressful 4 and a half years of trying for our little man and an even longer harder 9 months waiting for him to arrive praying that everything would be fine but we got there in the end.

    We tried charting, eating pineapple, EPO, baby asprin.....................the list is endless but in the end it happened when we least expected it. I know its hard to try and relax when all you want is a baby but i really do think that is a major part in it.

    DH has already forgot how hard it was in getting where we are now and already looking forward to the next baby!!

    Good luck girls, im sending lots of baby dust and best wishes to you all :) x

    When do you think your AF will show up?
    Have you ov'd?

    I thought perhaps you could take them now to induce AF?
    And take them again CD3-7, but then I'm no doc...

    QQ i dont' think i did OV as the cross lines dissapeared off my FF chart. and i'm completely unsure about when AF will appear, i may just try taking them to bring on AF and start from there.

    Morning all :)

    Heres a funny thing.

    Last night I got home from work and thought I'd do a test, not sure why because I was ony 11 or 12dpo and haven't had any symptoms. Just used an internet cheapie, it would be negative so no point wasting a more expensive one.

    Erm - imagine my suprise when I got a very faint line :o this was at 5pm after drinking allmost 2 litres of water. Probably an evap - I won't say anything and will do another in the morning. Except I caved at about 9pm and did two more tests both had a line :)

    So this morning I took another two tests..................................

    Tell me I'm not going mad there are lines there aren't there?

    I believe it I think we've got ourselves a bfp :j smiley-vault-misc-075.gifsmileyvault-jawdrop.gif

    Now the question is when should I try doing a CB digi? I have two in my testing drawer but I've chucked my FMU away. The lines are about medium strength so should I wait a couple of days?

    Please god let this one be a sticky one *prays*
    OMG Congratulations!!! :j:j:j
    I did an IC at 13dpo and got a faint line (at 6pm). Did a First response and got a much stronger line. I did the CB digi with FMU the following day. Have you done it yet?
