Trying for a Baby Part 7
Comments
-
New here.
Wife is currently trying for a baby and have decided to start charting bbt in hope that we can pinpoint her fertile days. We have tried a number of OPK'S but none have been able to detect the LH surge. So i am hoping that BBT will assist.
Thanks
Her last AF was on the 2/05.
According to FF her fertile days were 11th,12th 13th with Ov date on 14th
prior to these dates non of the opk we used did detect a LH surge
Please view my bbt chart here

Huge ((hugs)) to lemonmelon and walby - so sorry for the losses. Welcome back to the thread and I hope you will have a short and sweet stay, and have your forever babies soon

Blacksta - welcome :wave:
Time2Deal - ((hugs)) for AF but :j for your great PMA!
TeamLowe - hope your finger is ok!!
Fannyanna - thanks for your lovely post, glad you felt supported last week, and you seem really positive today :j Hope you will get a BFP very soon
Tealover - good luck for the blood tests! Also, don't be too disturbed, but I had a dream you lived next door to me..... !!! (I don't think your name was tealover in real life though....:rotfl:
Lilymay - hope work gets a bit better soon. ((hugs))
Tinks - I agree, we NEED that recipe. In fact, we also need you to whip up a batch of those and put them in the AF room!
rumfeeble - Happy belated birthday
A v good friend of mine is 39 and pregnant with her 2nd child. She had her first at 37. So 35 is the new 25 
Birdie - glad you had a great time away, and happy belated birthday!
Big ((hugs)) to anybody I've missed and who would like them/needs them!0 -
Tinks you are so creative, defintely another one here that would love that recipe. The cricketers would love it. A Bake Club sounds fantastic, me and a couple of mates were going to do one but we live slightly too far away, so instead we have our Stitch and B**ch Club.
So sorry to see you again, Walby and Lemonmelon, so soon on here under such circumstances.Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.0 -
Sorry Ladies Bake Club is in Sunny Devon.
The recipe is http://www.carnation.co.uk/Recipes/Recipe.aspx?RecipeId=60
Sorry not clever enough to do a hyper link ....
Or maybe I am !!!!If you can think it........it will happen0 -
AAGHH Ive had it with OPKs! They hardly ever seem to turn positive with me - one at noon today was starting to show a surge, but then one I took just now (after holding wee for 6 hours, eek!) has a fainter line.
Its weird cos my LH is more than double my FSH so if anything I should be getting false positives
Anyway, going by EWCM (loads of it!) and FF Im due to ovulate tomorrow so will go ahead with operation BD 3 nights and see what happens
Hmm maybe I should try the digital clearblue opk from now on :SWe got rid of the kids. The cat was allergic.

Hi all,
Sorry to hear the news from lemonmelon and walby. Big hugs to you both.
This relaxed TTCing is hard work. No idea when I ovulated or when I am due to ovulate, but due to the amount of stress at work this week, I doubt whether this month will be any good.
Fingers crossed for all you though.Halifax CC £1029/£2490, Tesco CC [STRIKE]£0/£3203[/STRIKE], Tesco loan £15431/£15808, Carloan1 £6743/£8241, Carloan2[STRIKE] £0/£3813[/STRIKE]

Tink, they look amaaaaazing, bake club sounds like a brilliant idea :-) stitch & b****h made me chuckle for ages vesper, much needed :-D
Hugs for CD 1 time2deal, well done on your pma, fingers crossed your different month means your body is all ready for a baby this cycle :-)
Welcome blacksta, I had (what started as) an ovarian cyst last year, hope your wife is doing okay0
