I haven't been using contraceptive since beginning of the year but it's only since August we have decided to "actively" try to conceive. Last month OH was working away for 3 weeks and we missed the time I would have ovulated. This month I have been taking my temp every day and for the last 9 days been using the ovulation strips. He went away again last Monday and I hoped I would have ovulated at beginning of the week so it would still have been possible to fall pregnant as we BD'd at weekend but it didn't arrive. :mad: Temp hadn't risen up until yesterday. Last night got a faint line on ovulation strip but not enough to make it positive. Today the line is darker but not quite as dark as the control. I couldn't take my temp this morning as I broke it trying to work it in the dark. When do you think I will ovulate as he has just called to say he will be home unexpectedly tomorrow morning? :j I've just done another strip and I would say it's now positive. We won't be able to BD till tomorrow night as DD will be around. Do you think it'll be too late? I'm going to go and buy another thermometer.

scottishchick I reckon you will be ok bding tomorrow. If I remember correctly the egg hangs around for about 5 days I think (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) or it might be the little swimmers that are good for 5 days and the egg about 3? I know you have a few days grace at the very least I just can't pinpoint it more than that, sorry! I'm sure someone will be about soon who knows more than me. I deffo don't think it will be too late! Be ready in the morning, lol! Will it be an early one? Not too early I hope but hey, the things we do, eh!

The egg is only good for approx 12-24 hours, it is the spermies that can live for up to 5 days in high quality EYCM, but I think they maybe last a bit less on average so the idea is that you have sperm there to meet the egg on ovulation if possible or BD at ovulation for the same purpose- obviously this will all be individual to the couple due to different quality CM and PP quality etc.

Congrats to Rottie :T - I am pleased for you, and glad that the frustrating time that can be ttc is over for another one of us! :j Had you been trying for very long?

I've had enough of this ttc lark today (not the bd-ing bit, but the endless waiting and hoping). Sorry - I'm sulking today, and feeling sorry for myself. I don't want to have hope, or to have a coping strategy for feeling like this - I want to be having a BABY! :mad:

Bought myself 2 of the Clearblue Digital tests with Conception Indicator yesterday.

I am trying not to symptom-spot, and I'm only going to test this month if I really think I am going to get a BFP, since the tests were so expensive (£12.75 for 2 at Tesco - ouch!).

Anyway, I just wanted to set the ball rolling for anyone/everyone who wants to vent or have a rant about the frustration of ttc.

It's not about resenting other people getting a BFP (I am genuinely happy for everyone who does, although I admit to wishing it was me too), but it is about recognising that sometimes it does you good to wrap up in your duvet, watch weepy films on telly and feel morose about your body not playing ball and keeping up its end of the bargain! It's a strain always hoping, always thinking positively. I'm fed up and bored with obsessing about it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one! C'mon ladies - let it out!

Phew, I feel better already! :rolleyes:
