    Could I be updated to CD5 please Becca?

    I wish I was 17DPO!! I thought I'd posted but probably forgot!
    Big hugs TCD. I can echo fluffnutter in it being worth it (even when you do have to cope with the terrible 2s, although I haven't had anything like 5 hours yet tinkwings!). I'm sure you'll get there xx

    Laughing hysterically at the thought of dtd every 2nd day of my cycle and 3 days in a row. Sadly doesn't work if your DH is a sex panda.

    Nice to see you Vesper! Been wondering how you were. :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    We've managed it for the first time ever this cycle which was big change for us. last night DH was reporting 'chafing' lol! He said do we have to do it again tomorrow? I said not if my temp goes up no. Which it has so I don't think we can cope with doing it again tonight! We started from day 12 which was too early as well. I just hope I did ovulate yesterday because although it wasn't as tiring as we thought it might be we are pretty tired now & the thought of having to do it all over again next month makes it worse than actually doing it I think!

    He said I can't believe some people do it this much when they're not even trying for a baby & secondly how does anyone get pregnant on a one night stand! As he now realises how little chance you have each cycle.

    I think the main thing that has spurred us on is the miscarriage to be honest. We never seemed to find the energy before for some reason. Now I think I'm just desperate.

    we had the same convo over the weekend.... its a very unlucky/(lucky?!) one night stand to get pg in that very short opportunity window!!

    think we started to BD far too early last month too, by the time I'd ov we were far too knackered!

    Yeah it's hard to time it because although my cycles tend to be long I panicked thinking what if this time I were to actually ovulate say cd14, so we started on 12 just to be sure. I ovulated I think on cd23!! So really only the 3 times we did it before that will have 'counted' anyway.

    Haha I do this too. Long cycles but I have been known to ov around cd15 so start panicking, wear DH out then don't as actually ov until CD23 by which time DH isn't interested and I'm frustrated and fed up.

    Hi all,
    *bigs hugs* to those who are feeling it atm.
    Hi new people :).
    Got a smile on OPK today.
    Been doing a almost spring sort out last couple days.
    Had my US the other day. Tech asked what CD I was and saw her taking measurements. Asked if every thing looked ok. I know they don't always say, but sometimes they do.
    Just said will get your resuts at next appointment :(.
    Will try and phone them again tomorrow for when date will be. Just have to wait and BD in mean time.
    Have a good day all

    Vesper! How are you? I'm guessing if you're back to ttc everything went ok for you with the legal stuff? If so that's brilliant! Hope you have a nice holiday.
    :)

    Nahhh it's still not over, but nearly there, last bit at the beginning of May. It has gone on a bit further as they found the evidence that I was telling the truth, and I've had to have a few Mental Assesments done. No idea still how it's going to go, but its getting there. However the psychologist that did my assessment started asking about my miscarriage and how long I've been trying, and told me to carry on trying as it's bringing normality into my life.

    I am very looking forward to this holiday. even if it's just a cheapy sun holiday. Few more hours and we are off to my friends for the night, and away we go.
    Remember never judge someone that makes a mistake, because in six months time it may be you that makes the next mistake.
