Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

8DPO (possibly - my crosshairs are dashed and have had ewcm and a temp dip after supposed ov) and I'm having the worst skin breakout ever It's like being a teenager again - seriously considered not coming to work because my face is such a mess.

I almost want to go back on the pill just to clear it up, but it's a bit self defeating! I hope our future kids appreciate all the trials and tribulations we ttc-ers are going through to meet them :rotfl:

I have come up today (CD28) in the biggest breakout ever! AF is due tomorrow or Friday so I'm assuming I'm out anyway!

I know what you mean! It made me laugh as when I went on the Pill all those years ago everyone said I'd gain weight and get spots. Those things actually happened when I came off the thing! I had 7 lovely spot and flab free years!:rotfl:

Black_Ribboner

Lol, I never managed the flab free, but oh I miss the spot free! Hoping it's not a sign of imminent AF for me, I'm not meant to be on till Sunday-Tuesday, but then I've never had reliable AF symptoms and ovulation's all over the place, so who knows?!

Hi, I would like to be added to this list. My husband and I have just started to try for baby number two.

Age: 36
Month of trying: 1

This month: my period is 4 days late but still negative tests. So annoying! I had some red/pink very, very slight spotting on days 29 (day AF was due) and day 31.

Here is my chart. I think it is triphasic?

I am out this month. Positive OPK on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tried to BD am and pm from then until this morning but OH was not having it. I left the house in a strop this morning.

I'm out. CD1 for me. I'm going to take a step back now and reevaluate things so please can I be removed from the list. We'll still be TTC. I just think I've become too obsessed with the whole thing.

Good luck to everyone.

devildolly5

Good luck michbright. Hoping to see you again on the next thread soon.

I am probably not far off getting to the same point myself.

So I seem to be ovulating but no sign of DH anywhere. When we do see each other this week we can only just keep our eyes open let alone anything else.


There is still the weekend I guess .....

Welcome, Roses. That's quite an impressive FF chart - puts mine to shame!

Michbright, good luck. It is a bit all consuming at times. Hopefully things will happen naturally (or "nautically" as autocorrect suggested) for you when you're not thinking about it.

Devildolly, I'm not convinced men think about TTC in the same way as we do. My DH refused a BD last cycle because "It hurts to do it this much". I pointed out that it was a mutual thing, but I was gritting my teeth and getting on with it, because it needs two people to get the process going. Then I ignored him for the rest of the morning and seethed quietly. Don't count yourself out yet - SMEP recommends BD on +OPK day and the two days afterwards, skip a day, then BD again.

CD6 for me. AF still refusing to go away. FF and Glow say the fertile window starts on Sunday, so DH has been warned to prepare himself for a bank holiday full of BD. Just hope nobody asks him what his plans are for the weekend - he is brutally honest :rotfl:

Ah, thanks. I think I am out this month though. A little more red/pink spotting today with tiny clots. Hopefully AF will come today/tomorrow so we can start trying again
