Official Trying to Conceive - Thread 12

Rachylou1981

Lots of good advice here Apple and I certainly don't think you're alone in finding it difficult sometimes. Just try to relax more and try to find a happy medium so there is no pressure. It does only take once.

I haven't actually realised how relaxed I am this month until I noticed I didn't even know what CD I was today. Turns out I am CD13, lots of CM over last few days but no positive OPK and temps not very accurate due to waking early and I am sure I sleep with my mouth open too.

Hi all,

Sorry for the lack of a list yesterday. I went on a shopping trip with a friend for the day and the trains were so messed up that I ended up getting home really late and forgot to update.

Also, I know it's an awkward thing to discuss (though we're very much a tmi thread so it shouldn't be), but I've been guessing as to when to transfer people from the wine and chocolate zone to the BDing one, so if anyone has been moved too early, or not moved and needs to be, please let me know.

TTC most definitely can put pressure on a relationship, particularly if it's planned with precision, which is why I decided to do the sexting to spice things up a bit. My DH said that he felt very much like he was just being used to make a deposit, so it made it very difficult for him, so if we haven't caught this cycle, I think I may also avoid telling him exactly when I'm expected to ovulate etc. It's difficult though, as we don't really do it much any other time of the month, so it's fairly obvious why we are.

Thank you so much everyone for all your advice :-) really helpful! I think I will just try to chill out a bit more... And do it as the mood takes!

Thanks!

CD12, 1DPO here. Positive OPK yesterday at CD11, earliest yet, and worries me a little. This is my forth cycle since coming off the pill. First two cycles I ov'd at CD17, so thought I was settling into a 31 day cycle. Last month I missed it, but guessing I ov'd at CD14. Suppose my body is just adjusting but CD11 does seem a bit early. On the plus side, looks like I won't have to worry about AF at our wedding now. According to Glow I'm due to OV that week instead!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Mouse thank you so much for updating the lists, they are all I'm using this month X

angel11

Tink ov can occur anywhere 12-36 hours after getting +ve opk, so chances are you didn't actually ov on cd 11, but a day or 2 after. Do you temp at all? Might give you a better idea of when you ov. And the length of follicular phase can vary quite a bit from cycle to cycle, it could just be your cycles trying to get back to normal after the pill, so I'd try not to worry too much. And no AF on wedding day is a bonus

Hubby had some "performance anxiety" last month, came as a bit of a surprise tbh as he normally doesn't have any issues in that department, but it did make me stop & think about how it affects him. I've been so wrapped up about how I felt that I kinda forgot about him. I don't tell him when I'm about to ov, but it's pretty obvious since my sex drive tends to be be much much higher Though I think we're def at the stage where we're taking a step back form bding at "fertile time" & be a bit more spontaneous & romantic about things, fx it works!!!

Freddie hope everything is going well for you, have you had your first scan yet?

CD16 & possibly 1DPO, although FF isn't playing ball & has put me at 6DPO :mad:

cats2012

Thanks so much for doing the lists mouse. On the next one can I go forward a day please? FF thinks I'm 5DPO and I think I agree.

This month I've noticed how much my temps are affected by even a small amount of alcohol the night before. FF couldn't place ov when I left one in from last week just because it spikes so much! So decided not to log those ones any more, it's only once or twice a week anyway.

If no joy this month I may take a leaf out of your books and chill a bit next month. Or at least now that temping has confirmed ov 3 months on the trot I could lose that and just do OPKs. We shall see x
