Mine's coming soon too:o
As for the weight, they say 10%, if your BMI is on the high side.
Good luck:)

MV, thanks but unfortunately, I'm getting the definite AF feeling (and I've tested BFN). I'm going to ask for IUI next cycle:cool:

I was on a sleepover aswell and the girl I was working with was great she offered me a sanitary towel, I didn't know whether to dry my eyes with it or use it for AF!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh well if you don't laugh you cry and I refuse to get down about it!!! So that makes me CD square 1.
On the up side I'm going to see the Lady Boys of Bangkok tonight so that'll be interesting and me and DH will go for drinks after it so that'll be nice!!! Also my wee bro is up for leave from the army, he's off to afghanistan next month!!! :eek:

We have a funny feeling he won't get his full leave and will be sent before we get a proper goodbye!!! He's just up on his weekend off just now so we'll see him tomorrow before I start work!!!

Hugs Deb sorry witch got you. At least you got a nice day planned to help try and take your mind off it. Don't
give up hope it's still early days and cbfm could work for you.

Thanks QQ, well I reckon by my calculations thats a stone and a half i need to lose, but ideally i'd like to lose 3 stone and encourage DH to lose aswell!!!
What tips can folks give me for BD'ing??? or websites with good info for me and him!!! I know after DTD its done but isn't there any kind of 'aftercare' you can do???

Deb - are both you and oh taking pre-conception vitamins? Trying cutting down alcohol and caffeine as that can also help. Make sure OH doesn't have hot baths. Most importantly
try not to stress about it and keep bding fun. I don't tell OH when I get peak on cbfm to keep pressure off him. HTH x

Yeah I'm on tescos on brand pregnacare and I have DH on zinc, is there any thing else he can take??? We don't really drink alcohol at all either (though you wouldn't think that looking at our fridge with the amount of champagne in there!!!:rotfl::rotfl:)
DH usually takes shower and when i've been in after him its usually f r e e z i n g!!! LOL!!!! brrr!!!! :eek:

Not sure if I could keep peak from him as he wants to be involved in aspect of the conception although that does worry me that there is to much pressure on him because then its basically down to him then!!!!

I'm a long time lurker and have been ttc for about 3 months and was after some advide from all you knowledgeable ladies

I came off the pill after being on it for about 15 years and had trouble with periods for the first 2 months but they seem to have settled down - as in i have them regularly!

However, i don't think i'm ovulating. The practical part of me says i am because i am having periods however i never seem to have the EWCM that everyone mentions?!?

I don't really have the funds to stetch to a CBFM at the mo and am unable to chart temps due to weird working patterns.

Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA Xx

Hi AA & welcome

You should possibly try some ovulation predictor kits next cycle as EA mentioned tesco are doing 7 for £5.55 at the mo so not a great deal of money and then you will know for sure if you are or not!!!
Dependant on your cycle length most packs will give you an idea when you should start testing!!!!

AA - welcome. Try taking evening primrose oil or eating grapefruit as I think both help with ewcm.
