Hi Debs and welcome.
Stress can deffo affect your periods, so it could be down to that. I wouldnt worry too much about that at the moment, a lot of womwn have variable cycles every month in any case, I know I do.
Congratulations on the wedding.

Hi Charlie:hello:
We are cycle buddies as my AF was the 1st of the month too. From what I can gather you should be oving on the 14th?
Sunday 1st August 2010 - First day of your cycle

Tuesday 10th August 2010 - Best chance of conceiving a girl

Wednesday 11th August 2010 - A little bit fertile, best chance of conceiving a girl

Thursday 12th August 2010 - Fertile, best chance of conceiving a boy

Friday 13th August 2010 - VERY fertile, best chance of conceiving a boy

Saturday 14th August 2010 - Time to ovulate

So you should be busy right now!
However from the little I have learnt so far, thats just a guesstimite, as you could ov early or late. HTH

Hey Paww - that is very useful! Thank you for that!!! I have a cycle buddy!!! YAY!!! So I could just follow you and you can let me know when i'm due?! :rotfl::rotfl:

We have bd'ed the last 2 nights. Best give the hubby a break tonight and then jump him again Thurs and Fri!

I didn't realise I was THAT close to Ov'ing! :eek: I know absolutely nothing about this stuff! I was relying on FF until it all disappeared lol.

Poor hubby! He won't know what's hit him by the end of the week!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Pawpurrs is that from the babyhopes website? I have noticed that depending what site you use it gives you different days which is really annoying. I usually use My Monthly Cycles and it has me ovulating after what Baby Hopes says (that wasn't very well put but you know what I mean lol).

I use these as a guide but I personally would say that MMC's is more accurate for me you would think though that they would all have the same info

Urmmmm think it was yes, its just not simple is it?

Is that girl/boy thing true?

Hello Debs - welcome to the madness! Congrats on the wedding - I got married in February and started TTC properly in May 2010.

Okay, now a query. Its my first month of using OPKs so I am still new to it all. :oIm on CD14 today and did my last POAS yesterday evening. Ive been doing it for about a week now and Ive had no change in the darkness of the second line. Am I just being too impatient - is it too early? Or could I be a late ovulator (thats a cool word!!):cool: in which case, it would explain a lot!!

Seems you have not ovulated yet this cycle, which doesn't necessarily mean you are a late ov'er, but may be just a one off:o

Welcome deborahmcgeachy:wave:
Congratulations on your marriage!
Stress can mess up the cycle, as does long distance air travel, so try to relax (I know it's easy to say:D)

mrsvicx

Thanks QQ, I knew that you would know!!!:cool: You really should start charging for your knowledge!!

So I guess I just wait now for some change, or AF, in which I case I guess I would have an excuse to go to the docs before my 12 months TTC are up!!!;)

Not that I know much but surely its better to do it than not, its still early?
Why is a CBFM any better than just sticks?
CD11 for me, have no idea when I will ov......monday? So that means bding sunday or monday not sure if I can cope every day!:o

AFAIK, CBFM tests for Oestrogen as well as Luteinising Hormone - OPKs just test LH. Elevated Oestrogen indicates OV is nigh, and since sperm can survive several days (allegedly. Assuming your womb isn't hostile, like mine..), you're fertile on days of high oestrogen as well as the peak LH days.

Or, like me, you're never fertile!

CD20 High for me. We DTD again yesterday and today. That's it for this month, I told my OH his work was done. I think he was relieved.

I'm going to use progesterone cream tomorrow. Might not work, but it's worth a shot.
