  • Well we have managed to BD last night and this morning and ovulation is due tomorrow. We have all our fingers and toes crossed. We had to go baby shopping today as one of OHs best friends is due to become a father anytime now. We saw loads of things we!!!8217;d love to be able to buy for our own little bundle so the broodiness really hit us hard today. Hope you!!!8217;re all doing well and are having a lovely Saturday.

    Ladies, quick question when sending your samples back for the trial, do you put your prepaid envelope in the post box or do you take into the post office? Xx
  • I just posted mine in the post box :)

    When posting updates, can you please do them in Magenta so it's easy to spot. This thread is all about support, so remember to click thanks on as many posts as you can! It makes us all feel loved.

    For those posting on smartphones or tablets the code for magenta is
    ([ )COLOR="magenta"( ] )your text ( [ )/COLOR ( ] ) (lose the round bracket)

    Please let me know if anything needs editing (including the zone you are in) and I will try to keep up. If you would like adding to the lists just let me know what CD day you are (the first day of your period is CD1).

    Rambosmum I am so sorry that the subsequent tests were not what you wished. I hope you and your OH are doing as ok as you can.

    KatieBee we have been trying for 3 cycles, although one of those cycles (the 3rd) we didnt DTD at all around fertile week due to illness. The 2nd cycle we used OPKs and timed everything perfectly so I felt very deflated when I didnt get pregnant. I am currently in my 4th cycle but not trying this month (avoided DTD in fertile window!) as it would be a Christmas baby. So next cycle is my 5th cycle since starting to try although it will only be the 3rd cycle we have tried if that ramble makes any sense at all! Haha I actually think this cycle and last cycle being not trying months has actually given my come perspective back, although I am sure once we are back on it next month I will go back to crazy trying to make a baby lady again! Haha

    We are back from our week away and it was wonderful! It was so nice to spend time an extended time with family, we filled our week with lots of games and laughter which was lovely! Not just a MASSIVE pile of washing to do!

    I have updated the lists, as it has been a week since I last did them there may be errors so please let me know if you are on the wrong CD or in the wrong section.

    Athensgeorgia, slothsocks, zeni, wifeforlife how are you all getting on?
  • Hi PKK glad you enjoyed your week away.

    I am now 1 DPO so can i be moved to the two week wait please?

    I've been off for a bit but currently CD13 think I'll OV today or tomorrow already woken up with what i can guess is OV pains!

    Reading all the latest comments about worrying about getting pregnant when you were younger.. so true. I figured it would be so easy and the times I sat when my period was late thinking 'Oh no'. Now I sit there praying it won't come.
    I'd say time trying over a year into this but probably looking back about 9 cycles where I thought I'd done everything at the right time. Just kind of feel a bit like giving up these days now! Doc says have to wait till the two-year point but the fact I'm ovulating regularly every month is a good sign.

    Ladies on the clearblue trial, I am not doing any opks for two months. But I am worried they may send me sample requests when I go away, I have returned my first pack with my urine sample and test, what do I wait for next? Or do they just send me enough tests and sample bottles for two months with days they want me to test?

    Thanks all xxx

    zeni I asked my Doctor about when they were do tests and she said it was the 1 year mark, I wonder why it is 2 for you?

    KatieBee I am also in the group not using OPKs on the CB trial. I heard nothing when i sent my first sample back until the other day when they emailed to say that they had sent me the next pack (preg tests). The first day they want me to test is 18th, which is the day after Ovia predicts my period is due (which I think it the same estimated CB have also as they do say this is the first day you should test). Are you due to be away when AF is due? You could always call them and ask what date the next pack will be sent as you want to ensure you are home to receive it.
