Fannyanna I found this article about how often to DTD http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/howfrequently.html pretty much says every other day should be fine

Morning all. I watched that programme about the sextuplets (little lambs) that was on TV the other week (I freeview plus'd it) last night. OMG it was sooooo emotional! And made me realise just how much I want a baby...although one at a time will be just fine thanks!

CD42 today unless it becomes CD1 later like last cycle! Don't feel like I want to kill anyone so hopefully that's a good sign that AF isn't on her way just yet!

morning all, I'm working from home today so no nasty internet-blocker today, woo hoo!

Whoever asked about what we're all taking supplement-wise - I've been taking folic acid since Christmas (when we started trying), and last cycle I started taking agnus castus in the hope that it would regulate my cycles. Seemed to work a treat last month but not so much this month I also take zinc, but have been taking that for a while, not TTC-related. (although I think it might have some effect on fertility, not sure though).

In terms of how often we BD, well we just go for it whenever we feel like it, really! I tell my DH when I'm expecting to ov, so we can bear it in mind though. This morning was only the 2nd time ever that we've BD-d because we felt we "should" - every other time has been because we've had the urge, as it were. I prefer it that way - it's nice to think of your babba conceived in a real moment of passion (in an ideal world...!)

Don't know why we bothered this morning, though, I don't feel like I'm ever gonna ov Just looked back through my cycles on FF and they're all over the shop, no pattern that I can see whatsoever There's only been one month where I'm even sure that I ov'd. PMA flagging today - have been so good all month!

Right, better go get on with my work I guess.

Have a good day everyone

p.s. fannyanna - I'm guessing it was you who befriended me on FF, any chance you could change your username to fannyanna or similar, so I know its you?

If you go to the "Sharing" tab again and click on "friends list" then there should be a button that appears on the left that says "Change nickname"

I've this horrible feeling I'm getting my hopes up too much this month... I keep thinking "if this is our month/cycle then...bubs would be due around my bday/we could tell my mum when we see her for her birthday/I'd be pregnant on DH's bday" etc etc I'm really hoping for it and it scares me how much I want it sometimes

I'm the same. I keep thinking if we get lucky this month then baby would be due around our first anniversary and the 12 week scan would be around my birthday. Why do we torture ourselves?!

Fingers crossed she stays away!

Just got a bit click happy and added everyone as an FF friend. I wont be offended if anyone declines though

I'm like a kid with a new toy - it will have worn off by tomorrow morning I'm sure :rotfl:

Ahhhh, are you my new friend then? Someone added me, but the name is just numbers and letters at the moment so I wasn't sure who it was. :rotfl:I still accepted though

My temp has plummeted this morning - fingers crossed it's a good pre-ov dip although I think it's more likely that it's due to me having the window open last night and waking up with my legs out of the covers!

Still getting only faint lines on the OPKs although I had some sharp ov pains on my left hand-side last night so hopefully it's not too far away.

Belated congratulations to Sammie! Here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Another of my sister's friends is pregnant (and just past the 12 week mark), after 7 years of trying, several early miscarriages and 3 rounds of IVF (including one which saw her hospitalised due to a reaction to the drugs). So very happy for her and her OH, and they are, of course, over the moon!
