    Good morning:wave:
    I'm starting Soy today:j
    Wanted to do CD2-6, like the fertility doc suggested, but forgot yesterday, so will start today (CD3):o

    I've watched the Great Sperm Race, I think it was one few years back.
    Must get DH to watch it too:o

    Haven't caught up with everything yet but:

    Rebekah, your chart is looking good, how is your spotting?
    picklepick, maybe you ov'd later than you thought:o
    kittenpie, (((hugs))),
    Secretdebts, (((hugs))).
    TTC40, no lines on CBFM sounds like High estrogen. Look out for the second line. You may not get a strong one.
    You can upload a pic onto https://www.tinypic.com and paste it here.
    emsbet, bleeding for 34 of 39 days?:shocked: (((Hugs)))
    My DH doesn't seem to mind BDing while still spotting:p
    GemmaE, sorry to hear about your buyer:( but well done on your assignment:T
    Littlezee, sorry to hear about the op for your MIL, hope it sorts everything out:o

    Hello ladies

    Congrats on bfps that have occurred while I was away.

    Have been home about a week now but avoided coming on here because I'm feeling a bit poop about the whole thing. More people telling me they're pregnant in real life everyone seems to achieve it so easily. It makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong and it's hard not to be upset which is not the way I want to react when someone tells me the news! Its incredibly frustrating. You start wondering if it's just not meant to be. But I've always imagined having kids so this unsucessful ttc is hard. It's an emotional rollercoaster. I just wish I'd started doing this in my 20s.

    Plus I think I didn't get home in time for ovulation so that's another month gone. Our last try will be December because my contract finishes next sept so I wouldn't get maternity payments if I got pregnant after dec. After dec I'll have to forget ttc and concentrate on getting another job. So all in all I'm a bit pi&&ed off!!

    Sorry to moan and bring the tone down - this is the only place I can really tell people what I'm feeling. And also talk to people who "get it". I don't want to stress oh out.

    On the positive side I had an amazing holiday. I hope everyone's doing good and I'll try to catch up on what I've missed xx
    I'm with you at times. However all people keep saying to me is "oh it's only been 6 months ... it will happen". However of course most of these are those who have either got pregnant within 1 month or who are taking much longer but this is due existing health issues any way. (Not just this board lol) Most of my friends have dropped at least 1 kiddie and some 4 :eek:

    Hi everyone

    I used to post on here a while back, but I have decided to start a new acc for this thread. Hope that's ok!

    Would really love to join in...so I'll give you a bit of background! :)

    I'm 29 next week and have been 'trying' on and off for about a year now.
    I was pregnant back in April 2010 but had a MMC unfortunately. It was so sad..but I'm ok now. That pregnancy wasn't planned at all, but was a happy surprise!

    My OH feels quite strongly that we don't really need to try, that we should just let nature take it's course. Plus sometimes he changes his mind about whether he wants children right now (i think he is just a bit scared tbh). We haven't been using any protection since though.

    In Oct 2010 I had a chemical pregnancy.

    We were NTNP for a few months, then in April this year I decided to really get on it - bought a CBFM, temping on FF etc etc. For 4/5 months my OH was really up for it and we had tons of s*x but still no BFP at all.

    I went to the docs a few months back..she did blood tests and confirmed I am ovulating normally. All good. I am now wondering if something is wrong with OH's sperm?? He won't go and get tested though. In his mind, he doesn't think we have been trying for a year, even though for me its torture every month!
    I gave up on temping about 2 months ago, it was driving me mad.
    I did 7 cycles, my period was always 27-29 days (longest was 32 when I had the chemical). OV always between 12-14 days, LP always 14 days.

    Fast forward to today, I'm on CD 33...no sign of AF at all and took some hpt a couple of days ago and all negative. No symptoms either. So now I am lost. Hoping my AF turns up soon.

    My age is starting to worry me, even though I know it's a bit silly to think that. OH hates when I say that.
    I guess if I ever do get a BFP, I keep thinking what if we just lose it again? *sigh*

    So that's me..

    Baby dust to all :)

    No getting excited ... My chart seems to do this secondary rise every month now! Can't take that as a symptom. I am so not symptom spotting this month. I have none lol. Less painful boobs - pmt only just kicking in on a very minimal basis. The 1st week post ovulation was fantastic for no pmt. It usually kicks in the day I ovulate or just after!:eek: No spotting yet! I thought it was going to but it didn't in the end. Just odd coloured cm a few days ago. Sooo close to testing I can smell it :rotfl:

    Oh hang I remember ... no symptoms = pregnant LOL.

    Good luck BigZ, hope you get some answers with you appointment, also hope your mil is ok. xx
