Good luck!  Did you do an OPK at 1 p.m. as planned?

Jill~ lovely to hear from you, I'm sorry you are getting stressed about the ttc, it is such hard work I can really understand. maybe taking a couple of month's break is just what you need to get that pink BFP. Thinking of you

Thanks Indigo as always for thinking of me. We spoke again last night and decided we can't afford to skip a month as we've been too long at this now. Was having a real down day yesterday our eldest is stressing us to the hilt at the mo think it must be his hormones lol. Between mine and his it's like a red rag to a bull. Your temps look fab praying that you see your long awaited bfp x

Vendella, Ecourt GL with your upcoming attempts our c/o is going to be either Sun or Mon so KMFX for us all.

Miraclebeliever little girls have a funny habit of turning up when we least expect them. Do you normally O as early as CD9? Try not too worry looks like you still have a good chance of getting a little pink bundle.

Lolliesndollies love the new name sorry AF showed her ugly face. I was convinced last month I was preggers and felt gutted when AF showed up. Keep your chin up hopefully this month will bring you a BFP in time for Christmas.

Kiwi your story brought a smile to my face sorry Af showed up. GL for next month.

Maria congrats again sweety soooo happy for you.

Rosa 8dpo is still early keep the faith your temps are looking good.

Feary lovely of you to drop in hope your pink dust works on all of us this month. If I ever see a BFP I think I'll be a nervous wreck till it's born it's only natural. Geez I'm in my late thirties and my mum still tells me she worries bout me. ~ I guess it's naturally inbuilt in us.

Finally hi to everyone else.

P4P

but! I feel I can spread some pink baby dust around!!!! * sprinkle sprinkle*

I am so proud of you ladies!! doing a small sway or a big one.. it isn't easy!! keep up the good work!! rooting for you all!! 

Thankyou Feary!

It really does seem like yesterday, can't believe she is here soon!!! SO exciting. What kind of birth are you planning?

Vendella~ great to hear you are giving it a go this month!

Rosa~ don't feel down yet (though I know just how you feel!), It could happen this month for you!

thanks Jill

I hope your DS isn't winding you up too much! Gosh that must be really hard work when they start getting the hormones too, i'm NOT looking forward to that! Good luck with your attempt, what will you be doing?

dollies n lollies:

:( Yesterday I was so sure I was PG.  got a faint BFP with FRER, later that night, a bit darker one.  This AM, temp drop, no BFP and started spotting at work.  Cried my eyes out, called in a sub and now I'm home, trying to think of other things besides how bummed I am.  I told my mother, dh and bff. 

That's so hard, I'm sorry that happened to you. Big (((((hugs))))

Hope you start to feel a bit better soon. Love the new name

 Thanks indigo!  I'm trying to stay positive.. this has really hit me harder than it should.  I just feel sick about it.. can't wait to bounce back and get into this next sway.

Well, I don't know what's going on. I think my BBT is screwed up. I did my temp yesterday and today with my BBT and a normal digital thermometer and got a lower temp with the digital. So I ordered a new basal one.

Also, my cp and cm seem to be getting ready for ov... so I'm kinda believing that I haven't ov and I still have my chance at O+12. And no- I've never ov at cd9- which is why I was so shocked!

We will see what happens when I get my new bbt.

He has been a nightmare mind we had such a stressful month last month with my MIL and he's just started at the high school. The other mistake we made was mentioning to him that we wanted to have another baby we want to involve them as much as possible and he is sooo good with little ones. Think it's a confusing time for him and my hormones aren't helping matters. ~ our attempt is this weekend going to go with 3 -2 day cut off and perhaps a 0+12 still too scared to drop the lime if it doesn't work this month I'm ditching the lime next month for defo.

 Stress and babymaking.. this has me thinking. Although I've been stressed since birth (over-ambitious personality..lol), I am thinking that maybe this whole timing thing has stressed me out so much that it's affecting my fertility.  What do you ladies think?  I found this article and here's a quote...

"However, if planning your sex life around the calendar is causing you stress (which can decrease fertility) and taking the fun out of babymaking, throw the calendar out the window and just be sure to have sex regularly. Most experts agree that, for most couples, having sex two or three times every week, and once a day around ovulation, is the most effective way to maximize your chances of conceiving."

This does not help with swaying of course...  but my timing is not always great anyway, seems like the longer I've been charting, the worse I'm getting at pinpointing O... it's just so all over the place.  Considering using my sylk (acidic lube) everytime, missionary/shallow, cranberry and possibly sudafed although I'm afraid that makes fertility terribly low.   Then just doing an every other night BD.. maybe more around suspected O.. I've got to stop stressing!

well... they do also say that stressing can make AF late so i do think stressing can't help with conceiving...

I have been good at detecting O days until i tried to pinpoint O exactly and started frequent testing... resulted in me getting nothing more than faint positive OPK's this month

I am gonna try just cut off, with frequent bd, supps roughly following diet and replens, douch and sudafed and hope for the best the first month...

Anyone here experiencing dryness of mouth lips nose... is this down to diet supps?

 

xx GL everyone xx

Didn't Tamara get a BFP at 5dpo? And Diane, do I remember right when I say you once got a BFP at 7dpo? Wish that would happen to me, I generally get a super faint at 10-11dpo. Talking about testing, Rosa when will you start?

 

I once had yep.. and I prob. would have with this one if I would have used FRER instead of the cheap ones..
