    I *think* I may have ov'd on CD15, putting me at 2dpo today. Only going by cm though! It's been so relaxing this month, not actually trying. We dtd on CD13 & 16 so there's every chance we got the right days.

    hi all! seems to be a lot of BD'ing done this weekend! fingers crossed for you all!

    OH found out just before the weekend that his boss wants him to work days for the next couple of weeks so that will make finding time to BD when I ovulate a lot easier as normally he works permanent nights so we get about an hour or 2 together when I get in from work before he heads out!

    Congratulations Kynthia! That's fab news :)

    Sexymouse I like your sexting idea! We used to do this alot when we first got together lol Might put the sexiness back in the demand for BDing!

    I had a complete meltdown on Thursday night after I had been to the doctors for bloods :( I've lost track of what CD i'm on now and still have no sign of AF or ovulation. I'm a complete misery guts! I have a lot going on at work and cannot stop moaning about it to anyone who will listen!

    I've decided to try to concentrate on loosing a few pounds in case we go on holiday in May. My next bloods are not until end of April and hubby has docs appointment mid April so we're not going to find anything out anytime soon xx

    Congrats Kynthia!! Here's to a healthy pregnancy...and hopefully you can rub off on the rest of us!

    Certainly a lot of BDing going on this week. According to FF my fertile time starts tomorrow so I'm going to start testing with OPKs then. Temping is right out the window for me this month due to having the flu and a fever for a week but I might pick it back up again this week.

    We booked a holiday at the weekend, off to San Sebastian for my birthday in May so using that as a bit of a line in the sand and if we haven't caught by then we'll make appointments at the docs. By that time we'll have been trying properly for 8 months but off the pill for a year so it seems like the right time. Plus I'll be 37...eek!
  • Congrats Cynthia. Hope those waiting for tests get some answers. I'm CD31 and no idea when due, I'm hoping my cycle gets regular. Not sure when I ovulated, hoping l did at least. I'm trying to be relaxed about the whole thing but not feeling so confident that's going to work. Not feeling optimistic about a bfp either as I have awful backache and we've both spent more time ill than baby dancing, but still crossing my fingers. How do others manage the emotional rollercoaster alongside PMT? Fingers crossed to everyone facing the two week wait.

    CD27 now and had my two days of peak, another positive cheapie opk yesterday too, but no temp rise yet.

    Very confused and disappointed that this cycle is now going to be at least 40 days which is back to my annoying long cycles rather than the nice 34 days of last month. Ah well.

    We're also getting a little tired so really hoping I ov today and get temp rise tomorrow!!

    Morning all,

    AF has gone and ready to start the BDing again - I haven't even opened the FF or Glow apps for 5 days which has been very freeing - I really am going to just forget about the tracking this month and just estimate ov on CD17 which would be about average for me. We are going to just relax and BD when we feel like it - I just need a rest from it all this month! No pressure and the assumption that its not going to happen until next month at least - its so nice to not be stressing.

    Have a good day all, fingers crossed for all in the 2ww x

    Nothing to report here, I just feel like I am wishing the days away at the moment, either waiting for ov or waiting for AF (and hoping it doesn't arrive!)

    I've started thinking ahead to next month already. We get married abroad at the end of May, and obviously, because I am so lucky, AF is due to arrive a couple of days before the wedding. If it's a BFN this month I am considering taking Norethisterone to delay AF, but I'm worried it might mess up my cycles. Think we would also have to take next month off TTC, which I'm not particularly keen on. Obviously I will talk about this with my doctor nearer the time, but just wondering if anyone has any experience with norethisterone?
