Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 11

snapping_crocodile

I know how you feel Mogwai. You would think DTD at the 'right' time would give a BFP! Our bodies are cruel sometimes *hugs* for CD1.

Thanks for doing the lists Mrs_T_M.

Has anyone got any exciting plans for this rainy Bank Holiday Monday?

I like the positive thinking. You'll have to give lessons!

Has anyone got any exciting plans for this rainy Bank Holiday Monday?

I'm working

According to the book I purchased ttc'ing *should* take no longer than 4-6 cycles of well timed sex if you chart etc.

I am going to try agnus cactus Day 1 of opk testing started yesterday.. here's hoping I don't get 3 weeks of negatives like last time!

First month with agnus and it seems to have shortened my cycle by a few days so will continue with that for the next cycle..also recommend OPKs if you have irregular cycles as it took the guesswork out for me which was nice x

This is good news for me as I desperately want my cycles to be shorter! First cycle 46, then 38 but now CD39 and no sign of AF yet. I've already tested and got a BFN so I'm not going to bother again, I'm just assuming I'm out and so waiting for AF to arrive.

I started taking Agnus Castus and Evening Primrose Oil about a week before ov as that's when the delivery arrived, however I stopped after ov.

I'm still in two minds whether to take throughout the whole cycle or stop at ovulation as there is conflicting advice around - what advice what you give on here, those that take it? Also, I don't know whether to start taking it again now or wait until CD1?

This is exactly why I want to shorten my cycles - I've ranted about it before so I won't go full blown again , but for those with regular cycles this pretty much relates to the same time in months. For me, it could be double the time and I really don't want to be waiting a year or more currently on 5 months ttc with just 2 cycles and one still ongoing...


Anyways, enough of that, it's a bank holiday (albeit a rainy one!) so let's get back to that positivity we've been talking about!

x_missymoo_x

Oh, and even though I'll be taking AC and EPO, I'm still going to stick my non-charting cycle for the next one whenever it starts again and just try to DTD as often as we can Then if that still doesn't work that's when I'll use the OPK's. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that though!

Still no af!!:mad: I can't believe im cd 121!!

well if its 4-6 cycles that could be take a while as I've only had 2 cycles in 9 months!!

May has been a very quiet month on the bfp front- I'll keep my fingers crossed we get a few in the next few days.

Hope everyone has had a lovely bank holiday weekend.x

How frustrating!! I can't remember I've you've said it before but have you been ttc since coming off the pill? Also, what have your cycles been like before?


I wonder if there is any possibility of there being a cancellation and you having an earlier scan. I know I would be driving myself mad waiting until the end of next month! Hugs to you xx
