Hugs to BigZ and time2deal
Googled yesterday and found one thing to reassure me and one thing to worry me- long cycle could be because of new routine or cos my endotrium thingy didn't shed properly after the mc and now it's causing issues.

Don't think it's the second one though cos I had 3/4 normal cycles before it messed up. Course, sods law says they were the cycles we weren't actually trying. Hurumph
Will just have to see what losing weight does. Course by the end of the day I'll be back to panicking and wanting to see the doc lol x x

Time2deal - hugs. Hope next month is yours

Vesper - I knew I wasn't in the game last month & did find it liberating. We are all putting a lot of pressure on ourselves

BZ - hope DH can be persuaded for a BD today

2nd day of smiley on OPK here. OH not home until very late tonight - will try & get a BD in.

Have decided that I am going to e bay CBFM. Haven't used it for a couple of months & as I now know I have regular cycles. I feel the digi OPKs give me the info I need. TBH, the ICs do too but not sure I'm ready to only use these.

Also cleared out several months of saved sticks. They have been useful to look back on - but a couple of months is fine for me.

Cd8 for me today and low on cbfm. Going to parents tonight and coming back on Sunday so won't be able to bd today or tomorrow but hopefully we won't miss ov.

Having my hair cut tonight after work before travelling to parents so hope that will lift my mood ready for bding from Sunday onwards.

Hope everyone has a good Friday and hugs to all who need them.

HUgs to BZ and Time2Deal.

TTC40 - do you find the digi OPK's better that CBFM or is it cos they're cheaper?! I just wondered if they help you pinpoint OV more?

Bad day today for me but nothing to do with TTC. Massive argument with my Mum today. SHe thinks I'm being naive about something whereas I think she's being a stuck up snob! Also organising a hen do - it's supposed to be fun isn't it?! But trying to get 16 girls together is far more trouble than its worth.

Harumph to the world today!

TTC40

It's not cos they are cheaper (although it helps). I have a regular cycle & know I ov around day 13-15. Therefore I don't need to POAS from day 6.

I also had a couple of months where I didn't get a peak from CBFM although I have had a smiley face on the digi OPKs each month I have used them.

As I've been testing/ tracking for about 7 cycles I can narrow down the window. I plan to use OPK from day 11 onwards now.

I think my personal SMEP is to BD on CD 10/11 & CD13 -16 if poss. Obviously we can do it on other days during the month too! Won't tell OH it's this planned in advance though - pressure may be too much.

Morning all,

Big congrats to all the BFP :j:j

Hope everything is going to plan QQ,

I havent posted for a wile as we have tryed to be relaxed this month.

But for the last week i have felt so sick every morning. i have gone off tea and thats not like me im a 20 cups a day, i cant even do half a cup

Is it poss to have OV as soon as AF went?
Im only CD16 today but feeling like this was 7days after the first BD.

Big huggs to all that need them xxx

So after all that fuss, bfn and cd1.

As bz says - I give up

Aww, (((hugs))) Start afresh this month

This month is beginning to be a write off for me too, my CM is still EWey, and I had a positive OPK on Tuesday but no temp rise. I should have ovulated though as I had ovulation spotting on tues and wed and positive OPK. :mad: very frustrating..unless I am ovulating today, may well give it another shot with DH just in case

Still don't know how to link to my FF chart - I don't get any link apart from 'http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ttc/homepage_module.php' in the address bar, and its the same when i go to 'get code'!

Has anyone else had the same prob? Ill figure it out gggrr

Morning Ladies :wave:

Hope you don't mind me hanging around for a few days. Am still a bit cautious this it may be chemical so don't want to announce myself on the 12 week board only to find myself back here a couple of days later.

BigZippy - that sucks Especially after the 7 day effort you put in earlier in the month! I had 3 seperate lots of EWCM this month. They were 11 days apart I think. I had an awful lot of stress going on, and I read in one of my books that you can start gearing up for ov and your body decides you are too stressed so doesn't release the egg despite the signs being there. Obv you have had an awful lot of stress with the MIL etc, so maybe it might be that rather than PCOS? Do you not get on with temping? I wouldn't have had a clue if I had ov'd if it hadn't been for temping.

Time2deal - big hugs :grouphug: even if they are dodgy. Hope you plan something nice to help, wine n choc usually do the job for me. Well that and about 2 days of tears

Tinkwings - loving the bunting. Do you just do it for friends or are you selling any on ebay? Looks so lovely

Zcrat - major sympathies for the hen do organising! I organised my own, and getting actual numbers of who was coming was BY FAR the most stressful thing of the whole entire wedding organising. How hard is it to say yes or no?! :mad:

Vesper - glad OH is ok. Men are so daft sometimes that they don't think we will worry about them if they phone, say something worrying, and then hang up!! You can give him a slap for that tho now you know he is ok

Codemonkey - I tested at 7DPO & 9DPO - 'just in case'. Wasn't really expecting to see a +ve at 11DPO but there it was

AFM, I think its sinking in a little. I am feeling a little different. I'm doing lots of burping! Feeling a little queasy at times. Don't seem to want tea or coffee, but >loved< my glass of water this morning. And thats about it for now. Having some, hmmm, well not pains as such but not cramps so not sure how to explain it, but something different in my tummy area. Am hoping that everything is ok, but to be honest I am feeling so much calmer to just have my BFP. I didn't ever stress during my pregnancy with DD, so hoping I can be the same, but I am more of a control freak and more stressy than I was 6 years ago!

I visited my beautiful brand new god-daughter last night. Think that would have been an >awful< lot harder without my news from yesterday. She is so tiny. I had completely forgotten how small they are. Nearly burst into tears a few times, just by the amazingness of babies really.

Hugs for all that need them. And ladies....... Its f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-friday today don't forget :j:j:j

Twiglett - some women bleed as normal for their first period - its called a breakthrough bleed I think. As far as I know it isn't possible to ov straight after AF, but it could be possible that AF wasn't real iyswim? Do a test if you are unsure.

Mogwai. If you go to sharing at the top, then get code, and then copy & paste the bit where it says bbcode for message boards we should be able to see it then.

Your temp won't rise until after ovulation, but you get EWCM before ovulation. My first 2 rises after ovulation were rubbish, like barely higher at all so I thought I hadn't ovulated until it did start going up properly. Luckily FF knows what its doing and takes into account all signs and sets your ovulation date from there. Another BD certainly won't hurt tho - thats what I always thought!
