    Mouse that sounds like a beautiful way to remember Poppy, it brought tears to my eyes. My due date would have been July 2nd. Who knows where we'll be by then?

    I would definitely keep up the opks even after the surge - don't end up like me this month thinking my ov was early and waiting on AF thinking you're late!! (Still not here today what on earth...).

    Have a nice evening all X

    Cd22 here and 6th day of flashing smiley! Had a peak on cd21 last month so disappointed my cycle has extended again but fingers crossed for tomorrow. We're away for the weekend from tomorrow anyway so is actually slightly better as we should be nice and relaxed.

    CM not behaving so much this month though, was really obvious last month. Got everything crossed though I really feel this could be our month...

    Everything crossed for you cats X

    CD1 here at last... I'm actually feeling relieved!!! I've decided I'm giving it all a rest this month... OH has hidden all my tests, BBT therm and CBFM and we are just going to BD EOD or whenever we feel like it. Feel like I need the mental relief - thanks for the idea Milliebob!

    Hope that will work for you Mancmama. Been checking daily to see if you got a BFP this cycle.

    We tried 'every other day' and 'every three days'. Was while trying every three days that we caught. However it was complete luck that we caught as OV happened a week earlier than expected. But she knew it was happening so we caught it on the day.

    If we hadn't we'd have missed it completely as the last time we'd BD was 5-6 days earlier. Was the first month since we'd been trying that we thought there was no chance!

    Thanks both - Freddie I think every 3 days might be more realistic!! At least around when I think ov may be. I'm definitely feeling more chilled about it all today, all the stress was doing me no good at all.

    Will see if this lasts though when I'm rifling through OH's drawers in 2 weeks to find a stick to pee on haha... x

    That sounds like a good idea MancMama, take the pressure off and just enjoy it. I think we might actually try that this month too as I'm just too tired after this virus to be BDing every day!

    Gotta say I'm feeling much more chillaxed this month, not tracking anything. Might be because we've got a massive holiday coming up though!

    Blood results from the docs came through fine, so she's now going to try refer me for a scan, but she says they won't normally do that until after DHs sperm analysis, but she's going to argue that 3 months is too long to have to wait.
