  • Mmmm, so Pink Pad reckoned I that based on a 27 day cycle I should have ov'd on Tuesday but I've got slight cramps today, and OH is out tonight.
    Mmmm.
    I've got to take him to his destination ...... am thinking of perhaps locking the car and hiding the keys until he BD's?
    Obsessed? Moi?
    My friend is bringing the CBFM in for me on Monday so hopefully that'll bring a bit more certainty next cycle!

    Hrm my period this cycle is odd. Spotting on the 29th, light yesterday and now back to spotting today! I think that I am cd2 as my temp dropped significantly on the 28th went back up 29th but dropped yesterday and again a little today. So looks like a short cycle of 22 days.

    THanks Birdie, that's very sweet of you.

    I know in the past I've come on this thread, then a week later have a BFP, and that must have been annoying, but I did always try and join in the conversations, and sadly I've been on and off this thread like a yo-yo :(

    I don't mind people getting Pg quickly, but I mind people I don't know telling me their happy news!

    I'm such a grump!

    No you're not! You're a woman who's been on a sh*t journey and your feelings are justified x
  • Afternoon all!

    So I started reading all your updates but I'm going to have to continue later as I have 6 pages to catch up on :eek:

    Skint I think, in theory, I should be ovulating around valentines ( my cycles are a little all over the place at the moment though ) so could you put me down on the BDing list :D. Works out quite well actually as last month I booked me and hubby a weekend away for the weekend of the 16th so we should have no excuse for not having time!

    Checked my FF and we only actually BD 5 time's last cycle. Twice was around the time of ovulation but obviously we need to me more active than this! So I think I'm going to sit hubby down and say we need to do the deed more often :rotfl:Don't think I'll get any complaints from him though! I told him last night how I found it difficult when my colleague brought their baby in, that as much as I was pleased for them I was a little upset as I knew that AF was on her way and he just looked a little perplexed lol don't think men get it sometimes

    Can I also do a guess for BFP's for next month?? I'm going to go for 7 BFP in February

  • I also think really once you have had a BFP you should vacate this thread. I know I pop up from time to time, but it's only if I feel I can offer some useful info.

    At the risk of sounding incredibly horrible I agree... though lurkers with advice are welcome :)

    I went for my OH u/s today- he's all fine. The waiting room was full of 12/20 week scan women. Always lovely sitting there in a room full of pregnant women as a woman who hasn't been able to get a BFP in nearly 2 years... Honestly I couldn't be gloomier today ... I'll go back to lurking for a little while I think...

    Congrats to all those with BFPs :T
  • Hi All,

    Wow, you lot can chat! Spent ages catching up on just the last 2 days. I really should be doing school work whilst DD naps!

    Congrats on the recent BFPs. Double figures for Jan - great news. Can I predict 12 for February please

    Skintchick - you can put me on the V testing list if you like. AF due 11/02, so will be testing 12/02 if she doesn't show.

    Fanny - that sounds like a positive appointment. You must be so pleased. I think it's good to have a plan of action and a way foward. Fingers crossed for you.

    january - that sounds like a confusing cycle! Is it light/heavy spotting? Red or brown blood

    chocgirl - I would demand a quick BD first before you take him :)

    As for number of kids, I'm ttc for number 2. I think in an ideal world, I would have 3 babies like my mum, but realistically, I would be happy and settled with two. I'm not getting any younger, moving ever so closer to the "older mum" category, and my house is way too small :rotfl:

    Right, I really must get on. Work to do. Have a good day all.

    no need to apologise OM, we know what you mean, ttc is always hard whether you have one child or fifty.
    i have a tendency to be superflous with my 'if i'm lucky's and 'if it happen's cos i'm paranoid about jinxing myself, i worry that if i'm arrogant and think everything will be ok it won't be x x

    I was like that through my pregnancy saying 'fingers crossed' and all that type of thing anytime anyone said anything positive to me. Since it didnt work Im now not so much like that anymore. Although sometimes I do still feel like im jinxing myself and word something different. Ridiculous really!
  • 8 BFP for February for my guess please... :)
