My cycles have been a regular 28 and 29 days so far, so I'm guessing I have OVd around day 14 in a textbook style

Lucky you, I'd love a regular cycle like yours:happyhear

Hello ladies! Can I join? This is month 3 of TTC for me, I'm CD8 at the moment. I haven't told anyone that we're TTC so I'm looking forward to being able to! x

Hi Pistachio :wave:

I'm new here too (first month TTC). Isn't it exciting?

Evening all, just checking in - haven't read through the last 50 pages I have missed since I was last here (!!) but welcome to any newbies and hugs to anyone aunt flo has visited.

CD 15 for me, and EWCM (I'm pretty sure) however no smiley face on Clearblue Digi Ovulation Test, still I reckon it's the perfect time to bd tonight. I used cheap OPK's before I fell pregnant in Jan and never had a single line so who knows, just going to go with my instinct!

hey folks. Just checking in to let you know that AF caught up with me last Saturday when 14DPO. So I'm now on CD5. Got more than a bit upset when it turned up so will be giving temping, OPKing and CM observing a break for this month. I honestly never thought it would take this long. Will catch up with you all again next week when I'm back from my holidays.

Best of luck to all who will be testing in the meantime!

Hi everyone!

Wow.....this is such a great thread! Don't think I will be able to keep up with how fast it moves though, only been able to get on here every other day at the moment......damn you work! Will try my best though!
Starting to TTC as of this month, am CD3 at the moment!

I'm 28, never been on the pill, always been VERY careful ....been married 3 months, together 12 years! So doing the BD the baby-making way will take some practice after 12 years of trying not to get pregnant haha!
Always had a 28 day cycle, regular as clockwork, can always tell when I'm ovulating so will be trying it the au naturel way, working the dates out for the first few months....or less hopefully Going to try and be as relaxed as possible about it!
Going on honeymoon in 3 weeks so will be on waiting for a BFP or AF whilst there....excited though!!

Congrats to all of you who have had BFP's!!

hi everyone :wave:

((hugs)) tinkwings, it's good to BD just for fun
hello to everyone who's been lurking or not having time to post :wave: I go through phases of posting lots then have some days/weeks where I'm really busy so can't get on. I don't have internet at work or one of those newfangled smart phones so can only get on if I'm not doing anything else in the evening.

((hugs)) to littleme and anyone else that needs one.

Thanks for all the good wishes re the doctor It was ok, although she pretty much said as I expected. I've only been trying 8 months (not 7, QQ! ) and 8 cycles, so she doesn't want to do any tests just yet. I said I didn't think I was oving regularly, so she asked me to get some OPK sticks, and use those as well as charting my temp, for 3 months.

So I have to go back again in 3 months, and then she'll book me in for some tests. Of course - I will be pg by then so it's irrelevant!
Anyway, she was really nice, as always - very sympathetic but matter-of-fact. She got married a month after me and we're similar ages so she understands how I feel.

Right, best go and order some of those sticks.

Thanks for the welcome lovelies. I am suffering with evil spots since coming off the pill, am hoping they will settle down soon.

Hi Elelyn! Yes, it is exciting, especially after all the years of really trying NOT to get pregnant.

How have you all altered your diets since TTC? I'm *trying* to eat more healthily and have started feeding OH nuts everday (for "my nuts" as he puts it...)

So Hello everyone! I thought Id finally join this thread after lurking for a bit!

I came off the pill in June so its month no 3 for me. Although the first month we were away travelling so it was a bit hit and miss and I didnt get a period for 6 and half weeks after stopping the pill so Im not really counting the 1st month.

Last month I got straight to work and ordered some OPKs, which I did get a positive result from. This month Ive started drinking grapefruit juice, temping and using fertility friend! Also started taking folic acid and feeding DH zinc tablets!

Am now on CD18, Ive got EWCM but opks are negative so just assuming Im 'possibly fertile' anyway, as fertility friend suggests!

Pistachio - I have had the worst spots since coming off the pill. I got them on my neck and back - havent had those since I was a teenager! So Ive bought some simple spot wipes which seem to be working for the moment anyway!
