Trying for a Baby Part 9

ejecoms

I'm afraid I need to be taken off the list of graduates as well - 5 days after getting my BFP, my period started. I'm still upset about it all which is why I didn't post on here earlier. I think I'm a bit in denial about it all and don't want to think about it... I had a heavy period for 8 days but it has all settled down now. I'm on CD17 today but don't know whether I'll ovulate this cycle. On a positive note, I know I can get pregnant and I got a peak on my CBFM and ovulated on CD17, so my cycles have got a more normal length, but I'm fed up with DTD for the sake of getting pregnant! My OH has got a new job 2 hours drive away so is back at the weekend and maybe once during the week too, so I am now feeling a lot of pressure to DTD everytime he is here. We really hoped that I'd be pregnant before he went away. I think this is all putting a lot of strain on our relationship. Part of me wants a break from it all and part of me just wants to be pregnant now. Anyway, I'll carry on POAS until/if I get a peak this cycle.

I had been really good about eating healthily, doing everything right and generally motivated before, especially when I thought I was pregnant. When my period started, I gave it all up and started drinking caffeine again(!), eating lots of chocolate, and even had 3 glass of wine (I've barely drunk alcohol in the 14 months we've been TTC) and escaping generally from reality by reading erotic novels....

But I want to get back on track now and try to start meal planning etc again.

I will keep you updated about how it goes...

So sorry to hear your news ejecoms.

Hello, please can I be added to this thread please? I am 30 and TTC for first child. So excited and scared at the same time, guess this is normal. Have a lot to read on this thread.

Oh hearty hugs for ejecoms and tea lover.

I'm on CD 8 I think if I go by the first day of proper bleeding, otherwise it would be CD10. But I started temping again this month and that should tell me more. Did the BD this morning but it's too early anyway. Hopefully manage another couple of times before the weekend when I probably OV but were staying with friends

Good morning Ladies!

So sorry to hear your news ejecoms, fingers crossed you get your sticky bean soon but until then take good care of yourself ((hugs))

Lovely dog Code - I would love a dog!!

Welcome to the thread Blondy.

Nothing to report here, cd8 and just one bar on the cbfm but using it is helping me to keep calm about ov spotting etc. I am away from home tonight but because I only have 1 bar I'm not obsessing about missing the right time etc. It's much easier for me to poas first thing in the morning too rather than trying to hold it in and rushing home from work etc so all in all I'm very pleased with it (will be even more pleased if I get a bfp this month!!)

I have started telling close friends in real life that we are trying and it's surprising how many of my friends experienced similar and have said not to worry it takes time etc so hopefully we'll get there in the end but patience is not my strong point

I'm sorry to hear that ejecoms, I really wish once you left this board there was no such thing as coming back except for another baby!

Me and DH bd at 5.30am this morning as I thought doing it later today would be too late. And he went for a run at 4.30 so is now knackered at work un suprisingly! poor dh. We did it yesterday afternoon and the night before so let the dreaded 2 week wait commence! Becca just tell me if you want me to do the lists today. If not I'm 0dpo x

ejecoms and tealover, I don't know what to say. I am so sorry to see you back here.

Welcome to blondy and pesky.

I think I am about 3 or 4 DPO now: got +ve OPK on Wednesday and BD'd Monday night, Thursday morning, Friday night and Sunday night, so I hope this month is our month!

In other (depressing) news... One of my very good friends had her mum pass away last night. I have taken round tonight's dinner, plus teabags, milk and biscuits for the visitors she'll be having over the next few days. Having never been through it myself, I don't know if there is anything else I should do. She has two preschoolers and knows I'll watch them if needed, but I'm sure she doesn't want to let them out of her sight with the way she's feeling. Does anyone have any advice?

Sorry ejecoms

Sounds like your already being great mincepiemonster the sad thing is there really isn't anything TO do really...

Just let her know that your here for her (but I'm sure from what you have done already that she knows that!).
