    Hello Everyone

    CD 7 So nothing major to report. Had my first full proper cycle now which was 35 days :eek: so just been working out my dates.

    Hope it will average the same as will miss my peak if its shorter :eek:

    I can not get over how flipping complex it it.

    We are really going to try and give it a go this month .. I have had a new rota which has late weeks in which will make it so much harder for DH and I to BD if peak falls on those weeks :mad:

    Can anyone advise which would be the best cycle date to really start from so I cover all bases with short and long cycles IYKWIM
    Goal - We want to be mortgages free :j

    QQ is the week after next a possible good time for you and oh???
    I've decided to take Clomid & FSH injections again to bring ov forward fingers crossed. I'll be seeing DH on CD11 (BD:p), then a follicle scan on CD12, and if all is good, I should ov around CD15 with IUI somewhere around then.

    That's my plan anyway:p Got DH's approval so all I need is my ovary to produce an egg by around CD15. Dr won't do IUI if I ov much later than that (my natural ov ranges from CD15-40.):(

    got a letter thru from dr today, they believe i have a polyp & want to check inside my womb. so if no PG this month may have to put off TTC for a few cycles. :(
    Hope the polyp is a small insignificant one:o

    If your longest cycle was 35 days, then you probably ov'd somewhere around CD19-21. So BD every other day from around CD8-21?:p

    well ladies its my birthday today am the grand old age of 31
    Happy Birthday Jen!!:beer:

    Welcome Dayday (and any other newbies that have joined this week - still haven't caught up on my reading, ther's so much of it!!)

    As for me, I just need an ear or two and a bit of common advice please?

    My cycle range has been CD28-53 over last few months, CD21 today, been using OPK strips (IC) for about 9 days & only on 2 days (not consecutive) have they even come up with the faintest of lines. The other days there's been nothing at all, last one with feint line was 2 days ago on CD19. (does anyone else get this but know you ovulate?)

    The last 4 days my CM has been quite creamy and possibly on CD19 some EWCM, but not very sure as first month of assessing it. Then today my temp bumped up half a degree after being consistently 36.1 for the last week.

    We BD'd CD7, 12, 14, 17, 18 and 21 but for one reason or another couldn't on CD19 & 20 and now I'm panicking a bit that after all the efforts I stupidly went and missed the vital days!! (Quite upset with myself!) Hoping that if I did ov on CD19, then the BD on CD17 & 18 evening's might catch then egg and if it was yesterday the BD this morning would still help??!!

    Im having blood tests Monday as doc was happy to start progressing things because of my health problems so maybe they'll show whether I ov'd, and (even if I did miss it) I'm hoping the bump in temp and creamy CM is stil some kind of sign that i may ovulate (in general).

    Phew - mega post - i'm really sorry, I have no-one else I want to talk to about this and I know you girls will understand (even though my OH very much wants baby he is of the opinion what will be will be - I wish I had his temprement sometimes!)

    Fingers crossed for all testers and big hugs for people who the witch got (Smash - I saw today she got you - im sorry :()

    Thanks for listening girls!! xx

    Jst remembered that when I had my smear a few mths ago the nurse found a small polyp on my cervix but said it shouldn't cause me any probs. Hope urs isn't a prob & maybe i'll go get mine checked out if still not pg in a few mths. PS I've really enjoyed my wine this wkend,the only +ve of af! PPS Happy bday hun! x

    hi ladies. still nothing here, still feel sick. Did a test (boots) and i think it was faulty. The line in the circle was not one line but three close together, and where you should get a positive line I got two dots!!!! i could not be pregnant and just have a bug, I could have a faulty test, or i could be pregnant and those dots were my line as I only have short cycles as did my mum who could never get a result on a test for a week!!! argh!!!!! i just want to know now! however I now have a crampy tummy so I bet its on its way :(

    Welshpolarbear Regarding ics I never know when its a positive even when you get 2 lines as I can never work out iof its dark enough to be a positive.This month(not very mse) I bought the digital ones where you get a smilie face.So I still do the cheapies but when I get 2 lines I do a digital as well so I am sure.So for me I got a smilie on CD16 and 2 lines on the opk cheapie, but I would not have said it was a strong 2nd line!!
