So sorry to hear your sad news Manc, take care of yourself xxx

MancMama I'm so sorry to hear that. I remember being really happy when you graduated from this thread and was hoping to see you over there rather than back here. I hope you don't have to wait long for another BFP and that all goes well.

It puts my "But WHY aren't I pregnant yet" rant to my boyfriend at the weekend into a bit of perspective...

CD2 for me and trying to console myself with the fact that it means we could make a Christmas baby.

I'm so sorry Mancmama. I know what it's like to be in your shoes and it doesn't feel great. Please take care of yourself.

Really feeling for you MancMama, look after yourselves.

Huge hugs mancmama. Take care and look after yourself.x

I've decided to try and avoid opks and tracking this month. If I have a 'normal' cycle of around 40 days I should ovulate around the time both me and oh are on leave over Christmas, which would be good timing as it's always much easier to bd when you haven't got to fit work in too!!

AF is due Christmas Eve. So hoping for a Christmas BFP. We BD'd at the right times this month. Spaced it out a bit more though, every two days rather than every other day.

We're both seeing cute babies everywhere. OH told herself she had to stop staring or people would think she was a weirdo!

Arrrgghhhh the TWW is driving me mad! For various reasons I'm absolutely desperate for it to happen this month, and the TWW has never been so hard! CD25, 3 days until I can test! Zero symptoms so far.

Thank you for the kind comments all X

Freddie/Millie I so hope you get the best Christmas present ever!

Mancmama I'm so sorry to read of your loss. Take care of yourselves :grouphug:

Well, I'm still here. CD 17 today and although we had hoped to squeeze in BD before DH went out, he wasn't feeling well so it's probably over for us this month. We managed to BD on CD 8 and 15 so we may just be lucky but I'm not hopeful. AF due boxing day so that'll be a festive treat

We are currently in month 10, cycle 11. The Dr has done day 21 and day 3 bloods. All levels (progesterone, prolactin, FSH and LH) are within normal levels. I resisted the urge to ask for the exact figures to avoid obsessive googling. Yesterday she did a routine chlamydia swab and DH has his SA appointment on Monday.

After the results are in she's happy to refer us to the fertility clinic but we have to try for 2 years before we can get IVF on the NHS. I can't see the point in paying for invasive and expensive treatment until I've been seen by the endo clinic but she was a bit vague on how this would be organised. Hopefully the fertility clinic will know what they're doing :eek:

Feeling very jealous of all the babies on facebook and in real life

Hi everyone - can I join the thread?
I'm 29 and had my coil taken out in November so my husband and I can start trying for our first :-)
I've been lurking for a while, picking up tips and trying to get my head round the abbreviations!
I'm CD3 and have been tracking my temp and ovulation for a few months so fingers crossed I have an idea when I'll be ovulating this month.
