    I think you bd at the best times. Yes you could have done it once more but I wouldn't blame you for not after 4 days in a row! Anyway by that day you had probably ovulated so I think it's best to bd before that so the sperm has time to get there.

    Thanks Claire; feeling a bit more positive today :)

    Hope you ladies are having a good Saturday so far - I'm sorry I haven't had chance to read back properly yet - I've been on bathroom cleaning duty this morning - Fun!!

    Big hugs for thoses in need - it is sunny here so hope it is where you are too xx
    First baby due October 2013 :j
  • Hello there,

    Sorry I've been mia for a while, work and setting up a business has taken up every shred of my time this week.

    Big hugs to code and loulou for DH troubles, hope that they make it up to you today.
    Massive hugs to Amy too and for anyone else lurking and feeling in need of a hug or some support.

    Comp- Its hard when nothings happening to stay involved in the thread but do come back from time to time and let us know how you are?

    Mrs TM hope the doctor is helpful for you, it can be a bit hit and miss who you see, mostly I have seen lovely people but one of our practice docs asked me 3 weeks after major abdominal surgery why I wasn't exercising more!!! what an idiot!

    TACOD, that sounds terrible with your scan, I suppose she thought she was helping you though, bug big hugs though. I prefer to go alone, I think they're kinder to you when you don't have anyone with you and my OH is too squeemish to be helpful anyway!

    fannyanna, well done for being brave with your scan too, I'm so used to people wanting to have a feel of my insides now that I don't think I'd be that bothered if they did my smear with a broom! :o

    I've gotten to the week in my cycle which I always describe as 'the hungry week' I just want to eat everything I possibly can especially ham straight out the packet!

    Becca, A new thread sound like a good idea, I've been around for the start of the last two and they always seem to be pretty lucky for BFPs :) Thanks so much for doing the lists

    Hope you are all having lovely sunny Saturday mornings too :)

    I don't think my chart could look any better if it tried, and I feel so convinced this month. The only thing i'm missing is a positive pregnancy test. Bloody 'ell :(

  • Is there still any possibility lilymay? I hope the witch hasn't got you and fingers crossed you've just got a shy one one board.

    I think I may have ovulated as my chart temps are beginning to pick up. I think the problem with my chart though is that I have no idea what time the temps are taken from as DUO decide which is the best temp to use... obviously they have their system which will hopefully work for me when they have enough cycle data but it means that I'm not getting the obvious rise that I used to get doing it myself at the same time each morning. I'm not sure how the hell it's supposed to work!

    My Ovulation Chart[/url]

    Yeah, well, i'm only 10dpo and the last time I had an LP this long was 6, maybe 8 months ago. Aside from the cramps I had at 5dpo i've not had anything. Atleast i know I ovulated so I just have to wait it out.

    Your chart doesn't make any sense to me. Although your temps are rising, it is very very slowly and there is no biphasic pattern what so ever. Your temps are also really low, much lower than even mine! I'm sure the duo experts know what they're doing though. Do you always have long cycles?

    Fingers crossed lilymay.

    Had to forgive DH last night as we needed to BD. Wasn't very amused but I explained to him why he'd upset me.

  • TCD - If you compare your temps to your last months chart you had a slow rising temp to 36 degrees to cd20 last month too. Your temp could continue to rise indicating ovulation or it could drop again like last month when you Ov'd on cd26. Sorry I'm not more help but it doesn't look like you have ovulated yet.

    Code
    - Glad you made it up with your OH.:)

    Lilymay - 10dpo is still quite early. Have you had early b/tlps before with your previous pregnancies?

    I've forgiven DH, but made him suffer by doing all the loud housework (vacumning etc) while his hangover was at its peak! I'm evil I know. He took me out for lunch, but since we came back he's sat on his bum playing xbox.

    Getting impatient now to know if I'm preg this month, even though I'm not really expecting to be, these last few days drag don't they?

    I wasn't trying with DD and i knew nothing about TTC with DS so just tested on the day AF was due, which was CD25. I don't think I realised you could get a positive test before that time to be honest! Hehe, the naivety of it all. My cycles were 25 days like clockwork back then so we just BD'd every day for 3 months I got pregnant.

    So to answer your question, i don't know! Heh. That's whats so annoying - I have nothing to compare it to this time.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Hi, sorry I have been MIA for ages, work has been horrible and I no longer have a laptop, but now have a tablet.

    I am on cd13 waiting to ov, due to ov any say now.

    I have been taking evening primrose oil this month, but will stop today until AF as I have heard I should not take it after ov? Also thinking of taking Angus castus this month or next, any advice would be greatly received.

    Congrats to all bfps since my last visit and hugs to all who need them xxxx
