Trying To Concieve

greent

Am on CD36 and just did (for the sheer hell of it cos they're cheap and as I spotted more than a week ago I would have expected AF) an ebay test - I have the faintest of lines. Don't want to get my hopes up too much just yet though. I had no results on ov test but did have ewcm whilst we were away (5 of us in one hotel room not conducive to BDing!) - so we managed 1 purfunctory BD, purely because of the ewcm. 'Twas our wedding anniversary too on that day! Fingers crossed.... Although this is only my 2nd post we have been trying since last Oct.

No other symptoms yet. Have been v tired this last week - but then again have had children up in the night most nights so no surprise! Nipples are slightly tender - but I AM still b/f my 32 month old and he can be somewhat 'rough' at times!

If nothing happens, am going to try and wait until weekend (well, maybe Fri) and buy a test from supermarket.

Ooh - I've got goosebumps!

babydust all around, and babyglue too

Thanks, nikkinoo!!!! I tried to google it, but couldn't really find anything. I thought it might be something like a lymph node, but I've never had this before and with all ttc it is not really helping my mind.

It is CD22 for me, so another week to go until AF (hopefully this won't arrive!).

Greent - I'd go get a digital test... I don't like the lines ones because frankly I don't trust lines At least the Clear blue digital spells it out for you! But do it first thing in the morning if it's early on as you have the most hormones in your wee then so are more likely to get an accurate reading

MrsTine, I replied to you on babies thread, but I thought I'll repeat here:

Have you seen Matrix Cup car seat by Jane? Where baby can be completely flat?... It is expensive, but so far it is my favourite (not that I am pg yet, just doing my bit of research...)

I haven't yet ginvzt I know my physio recommended a different one that she has for hers - I'll try and dig out the name And it clips into several types of buggies...

Think she was on about Maxi Cosi's

Just to update, seeing as its quiet (to give you all something to read, if you're sitting there F5-ing your screen lol)

I'm on my second cycle of Clomid (Doc prescribed 2 cycles), on CD18 now. Been temping these 2 cycles and last one showed definite ovulation but AF came - boooooo - but this month is a bit more erratic. Plumbed all the data into fertilityfriend.com yesterday and it said my ovulation date should have been yesterday, but after putting in this mornings temp it said it was last Friday, so not sure when/if I ovulated this month so far. Also, last month I felt definite ovulation pain which coincided with the date the website said I had ovulated, and this month felt nothing so far. But i know it might not occur every cycle so not too worried. Don't seem to get CM so can't tell by that either.

This month is the first month I cried over TTC, 15 months of trying got to me when I saw that the temping chart doesn't really show much this time, even though on the clomid. Got it out my system, OH was great, and I'm back to normal. Don't like to symptom spot, but that was at the weekend and I was really ratty so maybe I was ovulating then, as I've read some people get PMT-like signs at that time.

Anyway, I liked the clomid last month as I had a 32 day cycle, which was better than the 'anything up to 80-odd days' cycles I had previously!!

So thats where I am at the moment, AF seems due end of this month, getting married 11th Oct then on honeymoon for 2 weeks, so if she comes then hopefully can see doctor asap to get one more cycle of clomid to try that month before the next stage which he said was tests for me.

OH has the stuff to get semen analysis but the lab opens funny days/times and seeing as he has to abstain for 5 days beforehand but we need to BD at least every 2 days, he needs that appointment to coincide with a sensible time of my cycle to stop BDing really and the two just haven't been convenient as yet.

Don't want to say too much here as bit of a tangent but check if your local council give free impartial advice on car seats like this clicky I noticed one of you is in NW so could be close to you. I went to sort my 2nd stage seat for DS they're really helpful and you can try before you buy which is v handy! they recommend either maxi cosi or britax ( I've had 1st stage silver cross - hated it got 1st stage britax loved it. now have maxi cosi 2nd stage and love it) PM me if you want my opinion on anything (my top tip is a vibrating bouncy chair keeps them quiet like nothing else!)

Thanks for Ov test help, I think I must have ov'd just before I received my tests so only time will tell now I'm expecting AF somewhere around end of next week. we were/are bding every 2-3 days and I'm popping pillow under my bum and staying as still as poss for as long as poss after so we'll just keep on keeping on.
Love to you all x

Thanks Sami_Bee! I am not in Wigan, although not too far from it. I am not pg yet, but just keep looking around. I like Jane prams/travel systems, but they are just sooooo expensive!!!!! I saw a lady with one a few weeks ago 'live' (not online), and it looked really nice...

Can I just ask....you say you need to abstain for 5 days prior to OH doing his sample, was that figure on advice from doc or hospital or a figure you have been told from a friend/family?

I just wonder because in the past we have been told to only abstain for 3 days prior to doing a sample......

....I did a quick look online and it was all conflicting advice.
