Think I'm out this cycle as 9dpo and had massive temp drop this morning. Well below the cover line.

Going to guess 4 BFP for June.

Hi All, joining this thread a couple of months into my TTC journey... Well that's how long since OH & I have officially been trying but I have no idea of my cycle or if I am even OV at the moment...

I came off Depo last June (last shot was March 2014) and AF stayed away for 6 months and reappeared in Jan and I was regular as anything for 3 months. Then I've been spotting pretty much daily since mid-April. Been to the docs and they just said it can happen and to go back in 2 months if no improvement, but I have no idea if the spotting is a side-effect of the depo and my cycle is actually happening "behind the scenes" or not so I have been poas of an IC OVK almost every day to try and figure it out. So far no luck

Sorry for the essay! I have a feeling I'm going to be here for a while...

Welcome, Roz Hope your stay here is a short one. Don't worry about writing too much, oversharing, or getting caught up in the madness. It's quite normal and very welcome here

Today was the first day I considered BD acceptable and told DH to get home from work without loitering to chat to his mates. FF and Glow both said chances were pretty good, but not peak, although the Fertility Monitor said it was low without me even doing POAS. The thing is, DH won't be home for another couple of hours, and it's too warm and sunny to BD! I want to go out and be in the sunshine, not getting sweaty and horrible in bed. We could leave it until bedtime when it's cooler, but I'm pretty sure DH will be too tired then. Why is there not an easier way to conceive? :mad:

Roz, give the depo time, I was on it for about 6 years and it took me a year to even have a sniff of a bleed. AF has taken a further four months after returning to get back into something I can track. It'll sort itself, but it affects your body very strongly and can linger for a long time. Don't worry!

Cuilean, given by how easy some people conceive, I'm convinced that there is another way, maybe frowning intensely at each other?

Not sure how much we are going to try this month. I'm only CD8, but I'm really not feeling particularly enamoured with it this month. Would be Sod's law if we BD once and it happened though, especially when we had been doing it 9-10 times a month!

So sorry Lulu - hugs to you.

Welcome Roz, fingers crossed that it sorts itself out soon - I have heard depo can take a while to get out of your system completely.

Cuilean - I agree with Aileth, theres clearly a way that we dont know about yet!! I must be doing it all wrong!!
CD 5 here so nothing exciting to report - ordered some more preseed yesterday, figure its worth sticking with it for a bit tho its not a cheap habit!

Hi all,

Please can I be updated to CD18, I am thinking I must be 5 DPO
I think I will be out again this month - we did BD a couple of times at peak time but yet again, I have a stinking cold around the time we should be having lots of fun... blooming school germs!!!!! So I am not holding out much hope for this month.


Aileth and Cuilean I know exactly what you mean... the other day I was pretty sure that it was peak day and really had to gear up for it as was so darned tired! Ironically, I bet that back when husband and I were in our honeymoon period having "lots of fun" if I hadn't been using anything, I BET I would have fallen pregnant straight away as I wouldn't have been thinking about it! argh!


Hugs to all xxx

I like that idea. Less mess, less time, far easier to explain to small children in sex ed lessons :laugh: Also, after 17 years, I'm pretty sure I've perfected intense frowning at DH :rotfl:

CD13 today. Had a low fertility reading on the Fertility Monitor on CD11, and with my usual ovulation day being around CD15, I decided I may as well POAS to see today's reading. Wasn't expecting much. Got peak. Argh! That's not supposed to happen for another couple of days. Is it possible to go from low to peak in less than 48 hours?

Anyone else having trouble with the MSE forums recently? Pages not loading and the like?

Anyone want to take part in a TTC trial? Not sure if I want to send my FMU in the post, but for those of you who do, Clearblue are currently carrying out a research project and need the FMU of women who are TTC. You'll get "an ovulation product" to use for free, which I assume will be something CB produce. Maybe the sticks, maybe the monitor?

We are looking for women aged between 18 to 45 years old, who are trying to become pregnant, to take part in a clinical study.
To participate in the study we will provide you with an ovulation product to use for up to 1 month, you would also need to collect a daily urine sample and complete daily diaries.
Participation in the study will take approximately 10 minutes of your time each day. Please only apply for this study if you can spare this time.
If you become pregnant during the study we will need you to continue to collect regular urine samples and let us know the outcome of your pregnancy. If you are interested in taking part in this study follow the link & complete the application questions.
